Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman
Chapter 315 Cyber Violence

"Alright, just don't tell me that you are not going to come for dinner. I mean you seem to have had enough cigarettes, right?" Jesse questioned in a tone which obviously had anger to it.

Noticing that Jesse was about to get mad at himbecause of his carelessness, Zed tried to put a smile on his face and replied, "Well, you just came here to invite me to dinner. I can't say no to that, can I?" Today, Jesse was at her breaking point.

He clearly figured that Jesse might even cry if he rejected her offer.

'Are you really going to cry just because I hurt myself a little?

Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill, Jesse?' Zed could only say this to himself. The last thing he wanted was to upset her even more.

As Zed said yes to her offer, Jesse brightened up, "Fine, I'll take that as a 'yes'. And thanks for coaxing me when you know I'm upset. "All right, now let's go for dinner!" Her sulky mood was gone and i t was now filled with pleasure.

Now she walked towards the door and turned to look at Zed expectantly, blinking her big bright eyes.

After stubbing out the cigarette, Zed let out out a long sigh and then he followed Jesse towards the door.

On the other side, Jean just returned to her ward after dinner. With nothing to do, Jean sat down and refreshed the comments on Weibo.

That video had become a trending topic and there were all kinds of speculations and suspicions within the comments.

The verbal grenades seemed to intensify the fight between the supporter and the resistant.

Now Jean was extremely upset. It was not like she hadn't expected a result like this, however, she still failed to prevent it in the end.

In the comments, she saw there were a bunch of provocations against Maranda, Ron, and Calvin by people from all the sides. What was even worse was that some of the haters exposed their personal privacies over the years using a lot of fake pictures. The more she refreshed the Weibo comments, the more irritated she became.

Having experienced similar violence in the past on the Internet, Jean knew too well the horrible damages it would bring.

Had Maranda listened to Jean, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble at the moment. 'Poor Maranda, why didn't you just listen to me!' Jean couldn't help and let out a frustrated sigh.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door which startled Jean. For a second, Jean froze, and then she looked up alertly at the door.

The door was opened and John walked in. His expression conveyed the anxiety that he was feeling.

"John..." exclaimed Jean out of surprise. She nearly forgot all about John and hadn't expected a visit from him.

'It's so late now! what did he come to the hospital for?' thought Jean.

"Jean, you're here," said John. His face lit up with an expression of relief when he saw Jean.

"What? What do you mean by that? Where else would I be?" Jean asked in a playful tone looking relaxed.

Truth be told, she felt a little awkward at seeing him again but she didn't want to make it obvious.

Noticing his concerned look, Jean knew that John was actually worried about her health.

"Tomorrow night..." John stepped closer to Jean and continued, "There will be a dinner party held by our company. A lot of famous people in H City have been invited as guests. And our boss Sonny, he wants to know if you will join us. So I am here to invite you." "Sonny?" Now that surprised Jean even more. She hadn't expected her boss Sonny to send John to ask her such a question.

'What was the point of this dinner party exactly?' wondered Jean.

"Yes, he wants me to ask you. If you want to revive your marriage with Zed, you should attend this dinner party tomorrow night. And you should show up as Mrs. Qi, Zed's wife." John repeated what Sonny had said to Jean. But he seemed to be a little nervous and she observed that he wiped the sweat off his forehead every two minutes.

Standing silent, Jean suddenly looked tongue-tied.

Hearing John's words, Jean understood who would be there at the dinner party tomorrow night.

Though she seldom attended such kind of parties, she had a rough idea of who would be present. 'How considerate is Sonny!' thought Jean.

He probably heard the gossips going around and wanted to help Jean come out of this bad situation.

However, she felt certain that there would be no way to sort things out between Zed and her.

"Please tell Sonny that I really appreciate his kindness. I want to thank him for his concern for me." Jean replied with a genuine smile on her face.

"What do you mean?" asked John with a confused tone. He was not quite sure what Jean meant.

"I mean, I will consider this offer very seriously. But I can't give you my word now." In truth, she was determined not to go. But she worried sounding rude and decided it was best to give this neutral answer.

"I'll get your message across to the boss for you. And Sonny asked me to tell you that the most important thing for a woman is her true love. And if you really love someone, don't let him go. Sometimes, what we see through the lens or our eyes is not even reliable. We must feel it with our whole heart and listen to our inner voice. This is the only way to replace the purest and the most treasurable relationship."

John looked at Jean and repeated Sonny's words to her line by line.

Meanwhile, Jean was really touched by what John had just said. She looked up at him and said, "I feel guilty about making Sonny so worried. John, please tell Sonny that I'm fine now. And I promise I am not going to do anything stupid." "Alright." John nodded and sighed heavily. "It's one thing to comfort others, but it's quite another to actually do it. But, Jean, I really hope that you will come to the dinner party tomorrow night."

"But why?" asked Jean, looking quizzical.

"I've checked the guest list and found that there is someone you'd like to see," John replied while he winked at Jean.

"Who?" Now she was lost and tried to wrack her brain to sort out the puzzle.

'Someone that I would like to see? Now who could that be?' Confusion remained on her mind.

The only one Jean would like to see was the one who had set her up.

"Do you know why Sonny decided to keep this dinner party all of a sudden? It is mostly for you." John answered his own question.

"For me?" asked Jean looking taken aback. By now, she had too many question marks written on her face.

"Well, don't forget that you are Sonny's apprentice. Though he doesn't show it much, he really cares about you. And this time, he has invited people from the Imperial Capital. He made the acquaintance of them when he worked there." "What?" Jean couldn't help interrupting, and her face turned pale suddenly.

It never occurred to her that her boss Sonny would do such a thing for her.

"Please calm down first," John replied. Seeing the surprised facial expression on Jean's face, he smiled a little. "It is Zed's parents, Mrs. and Mr. Qi, at first that was invited to the party. But they are away at the moment. So Sonny decided to invite Mr. Benjamin Qi. Sonny went to the Imperial Capital in person in order to give his invitation..."

Jean stopped listening and had no idea what John said after that. Her mind was whizzed with other thoughts.

The information that Zed's grandpa, Mr. Benjamin Qi, was coming was a big deal for her.

'Benjamin Qi, the one who had a great deal of influence on the Imperial Capital, was now coming here, 'thought Jean.

She has heard that this old gentleman was eighty years old but managed to maintain a good spirit. His weather-beaten face conveyed what he had been through. And his deep sharp eyes had the ability to make the timid faint on the spot.

It was well-known fact that Benjamin Qi liked Zed more than he liked anyone else. This love magnified because Zed followed his footsteps and made it big in business.

'And now, this legendary old man was coming to H City, 'registered Jean's muddled mind.

Under this condition, it was impossible for Jean to escape or reject this party.

After all, according to the world, she was still Zed's wife.

'How could I not show up when Benjamin Qi will be there?' Jean was overwhelmed now.

It would be hard for Jean to survive in H City if she rejected this invitation.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jean asked in a nervous tone, looking at John with a frown. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
