Because I simply love you

Chapter 64: A tight slap

Chen’s villa.

“Mom, please listen.”, Chen Jianyu sighed and said.

Mother Chen ignored him.

He was getting a headache now. Yesterday he was supposed to talk to Nana about their relationship and ask if they could possibly date.

He was going to suggest her to give it a try, and if things didn’t work out as a couple, they can finally take Mother Chen off their backs saying that they did give it a chance.

But he completely forgot about it. Suyin suddenly came into his office without any notice and the whole thing got out of his mind.

When Mother Chen excitedly asked about it, he finally remembered. And now she refuses to talk to him.

“Mom-“

“Now you only talk to me when you give me the news of Nana and you dating.”

“C’mon mom, I’m sorry. I really forgot about it. I’m not lying and I didn’t try to avoid it.”

No response.

Will, she seriously not talk to me until she hears what she wants to hear?

“Mom.”

She ignored him as if he didn’t even exist.

He sighed. “Alright. I will go meet her today and talk about it. Is it okay now?”

“It will be only okay if the answer is yes.”, she said without looking at him.

His eyebrows twitched. “Mom, it takes two to tango. She should also be ready for this. I cannot force her. What if she rejects me?”

She glared at him. “Of course you cannot force her. And listen to me, young man. If you even dare to threaten her to get her to date you just because you want to get me off your back, then you better prepare yourself.”

He looked at her speechlessly. Mom, it is you who is trying to force not me!

She continued, “But, I would like to know her reason if she rejects you. I don’t trust you. What if you intentionally say something to make her reject you? I would never know.”

He wanted to cry. Now, he really wished to leave this family. Mom, I’m your son. Shouldn’t you have an innate trust in me as a mother? Was I switched with some other baby when I was born?

“So, you will record your conversation with her…no wait! Hmm…I have got even a better idea. You call me when you meet her and I will listen to your whole conversation live.”

He closed his eyes helplessly. “Mom, can I get some privacy?”

“Throw your privacy in the ocean and just do as I say.”

She warned before she left, “Don’t. Forget. To. Call. Me. Okay?”, saying with serious and clear pauses.

“Fine! Now go. Dad must be really missing you. Eat his head now.”, Yes, just go and leave me alone.

She grumbled, “Guess I should bring a dog in this house now. At least somebody will be happy to see me when your father isn’t here.”

His mouth twitched but he refused to answer.

Madam Tang asked Suyin, “So, what is your plan now?”

Suyin smirked, “I have to make him hate her. I have to break down the innocent and pure image that she has built up in his mind.”

“How will you do that?”

“I have hired a man for that. Whenever Jianyu will meet Nana next time, I will make an excuse to go with him. The man will be ready. And just before Jianyu meets her, I will signal him and he will push her and get in a compromising position with her. Heh! Seeing her in some other man’s arms, he will definitely think that she is having illegitimate relationships behind his back. This is even more full-proof than just clicking a picture. He will see her in the shameless act with his own eyes.”

Madam Tang smiled. “It’s a good plan. And they have known each other since just almost a month ago. He won’t be able to trust her.”

“Exactly. No matter how much she tries to explain herself it will be useless. Plus, I will be there to provoke him if by any chance he falters. I will be there to act my part.”, she winked.

“Perfect. Then as a good friend, you will be sad for him and comfort him and that will take you one step closer to get him.”, Madam Tang raised her wine glass, “Cheers to that b*itch’s downfall.”

“Cheers.”, they laughed and clinked their glasses.

Liu Hai was keeping tabs on all the discussions happening in the company’s forum.

The released photo had caused waves of heated debates and arguments. Nobody could believe their eyes. Their boss in such a naturally intimate position with the new hire. They were all so mesmerized with that simple yet beautiful scene that they seem to forget that Liu Jinhai was already married. Some were even rooting for them.

He simply smiled.

Nana, Liu Jinhai and Assistant Xin were discussing some new ideas.

They seemed to be reviewing something important so Han Ru wasn’t sure whether to disturb them or not. He still wanted to tell them about Huian’s visit.

The door suddenly opened and everybody raised their heads.

Liu Jinhai was surprised. “Huian? You-“

But before he could ask anything further, Huian walked straight towards Nana, roughly grabbed her and slapped her hard across her face.
