Chapter 91 There Was A Woman In The Front Passenger Seat


    Jean was very moved and grateful to her mother-inw for sticking up for her. It was nice to have


    someone support her for a change. The woman Zed would marry after divorcing Jean would be


    extremely lucky!


    It was a pity that...


    Atst, Zed stood and exined to his father, "I asked Jean to work. She used to get very bored at


    home every day. So I asked her to do what she likes so that she can feel productive."


    Only after Zed''s exnation did the tense atmosphere gradually ease off.


    Jean looked at Zed in surprise. She had not expected him to speak on her behalf. So Zed''s sudden


    action touched Jean.


    "I must go to work now." Zed said to his parents before turning to Jean and saying, "Come, I''ll drive you


    to yourpany." After saying this, Zed held Jean''s hand and led her out of the Qi family vi.


    Once outside the vi, Jean let out a long sigh of relief.


    "Thank you for standing up for me." Jean pressed her lips as she waited for Zed to reply.


    Zed just ignored her and got into his car.


    Seeing that Zed remained arrogant and did not respond to her sincere gratitude, Jean pouted her lips


    and rolled her eyes to show her discontent. Then she turned to walk toward the gate of the vi.


    When she looked at her watch, Jean realized that there wasn''t much time left before she had to be at


    work. It was Monday, and the customary morning meeting would start at 9:30. Although Jean was just a


    neer who had been working for only a month or so, Sonny had specifically instructed that she


    attend all the meetings.


    Jean picked up her pace when she thought that she would bete and that would upset Sonny. Zed


    drove past her slowly and stopped in front of Jean.


    Zed lowered the car window and gave Jean an indifferent nce before saying, "Don''t you know that


    when you are trying to deceive someone, you should make every effort to look and sound genuine? If


    my parents are watching, what will they think if they see us heading our separate ways? Aren''t you


    afraid that your actions will cause them to doubt our rtionship?"


    On hearing what Zed had said, Jean raised her eyebrows. His assistance was exactly what she


    needed to get to work on time. A charming smile appeared on her face as she spoke, "Now that you


    have implied that our acting needs to continue, I will ept your offer to drive me to mypany.


    Thanks a lot!"


    "You want me to take you to yourpany? Keep dreaming!" Zed retorted once Jean had hopped into


    the car. Then he drove two kilometers from the vi and pulled over so Jean could get out.


    Jean was rather angry by Zed''s inconsiderate behavior. "You are a really hateful man, Zed! Just wait


    and see. When we both return home from work tonight, I will get my revenge!" She gritted her teeth


    and muttered as she watched Zed drive away. When her anger dissipated and anxiety settled in, Jean


    looked at the time.


    It was already half past eight! There was only one hour left for Jean to reach herpany, or she


    would bete for the meeting today.


    ''Oh gosh!'' There was only little time left. Jean quickly thought of the fastest way to get to herpany.


    Since thepany was a little far from the Qi family vi, she couldn''t afford any more dys. She


    hoped that the traffic was light so that she wouldn''t miss the meeting. Otherwise, she would be done


    for!


    Since Zed''s vi was in an affluent neighborhood, most residents used their own cars. It wasn''t easy for


    Jean to find public transport. The fews cab that zipped past her, already had passengers.


    Jean stood on the side of the road, trying to hail a cab. After waiting for about ten minutes, Jean was


    absolutely anxious at not having found a ride. She was about to lose her patience when a white BMW


    stopped in front of her.


    Thrilled, Jean bent to look through the car window. She was confused when she saw that Ethan Lei


    was in the car.


    Did Ethan change his car? Jean remembered that thest time she met him, he was driving a different


    car.


    "Jeany!" Ethan was ted. He seemed to be very surprised to meet Jean and called to her happily.


    "What are you doing here?" Jean asked. She then noticed that there was a woman sitting in the front


    passenger seat.


    ''Mandy Chen!'' Jean gritted her teeth and thought.


    "I was just passing by and happened to see you. Oh, what about you? Why are you here?" Ethan


    looked around and suddenly realized something. His face darkened at once. "Have you made up with


    Zed Qi?"


    Jean paused at his question but did not speak. She had nned to ask him to drive her to her


    Jean to imagine why they were together.


    Jean did not want to ruin their ns, so she stood straight before saying, "I am in a hurry. It is good to


    see you again. We''ll catch up some other time."


    "Jeany!" Ethan eximed when he realized that she was not willing to speak with him. Ethan pulled


    over to the side of the road and got out the car to chase after Jean.


    "Ethan!" Mandy stuck her head out of the car window and called after him. She was unhappy to be


    ignored by Ethan and wanted to stop him from running after Jean.


    Jean quickened her pace, but Ethan still caught up with her. Ethan grabbed her arm and twirled her


    around, "Jeany, you misunderstand the rtionship between Mandy and me."


    "I am not in a rtionship with you now. What you do or don''t do, doesn''t concern me. So I am not


    going to bother myself with details about your rtionships. Also, we are not close. So, I am not in a


    position to pry into your private life. You are free to choose any woman to be your girlfriend. Mandy


    Chen is beautiful. You two seem well-suited to each other." Jean narrowed her eyes and smiled before


    continuing, "Since I am going to bete for work, I must leave now. Let''s talk next time."


    Jean then turned and tried to stop a passing car.


    Unfortunately, there were passengers in all the passing cars. And with no car stopping, Jean felt quite


    upset.


    "Jump in my car. I can drive you to work."


    "No, thank you." Jean refused Ethan''s offer. She did not want to be in the same car as Mandy Chen.


    Mandy was a terrible person and Jean was better off keeping her distance. She would rather bete for


    work than ride in the same car as Mandy!


    Ethan asked repeatedly, but Jean refused him every time. Since Ethan did not want Jean to continue


    thinking he and Mandy were in a meaningful rtionship, he grabbed her arm and tried to exin,


    "Mandy and I are not dating! Yesterday, I went to a party with my old friends and did not expect her to


    be at the party too. This morning, I was about to drive to work and she happened to ask me to give her


    a ride. You have misunderstood the situation."


    "I have not thought that much about why Mandy and you are together at such an early hour. And I am


    really in a hurry to get to work..." Jean looked at her watch and said reluctantly.


    "Please, let me drive you." Ethan became serious suddenly. A frown grew on his face as he continued


    to convince Jean. "There are no empty cabs here. By the time you do hail one, you will bete. Instead


    of wasting time here, please get in my car. I will drive you to thepany so that you won''t bete."


    Ethan Lei was always a gentleman. But the longer Jean refused, the darker his expression became.


    Jean was surprised to see Ethan''s reaction. After hesitating for a little while, she finally agreed.


    Jean sat in the car and thanked Ethan. She crossed her fingers and hoped that the ride would be a


    quiet one. However, Mandy turned and glowered at Jean in anger.


    So Jean turned to look out the window with the hope that time would fly by and she wouldn''t have to


    deal with Mandy. It was really a strange feeling for Jean to be in the same space with Mandy.


    "Mrs. Qi, I heard that the Qi Group is leading the business market in our city now. Your husband, Zed


    Qi, would have wisely invested his money. I''m willing to assume that his investments must be worth a


    lot of money. Since he is so rich, why doesn''t he buy a car for you to drive or hire a driver for you?"


    Jean had been expecting Mandy to make trouble. So her question didn''te as a surprise. She knew


    that Mandy would seize every opportunity to belittle Jean.


    Ethan frowned at Mandy''s question. His expression showed that he was in a really bad mood. On


    thinking that Jean Wen and Zed Qi had made up, he felt bitter.


    ''Just because I don''t y your games, do you think you can keep trying to humiliate me?'' Jean


    thought.


    Jean hated women who caused trouble without a valid reason. She wondered why women like Mandy


    kept trying to meddle in her affairs and cause trouble, when she had never done anything to annoy


    them!


    So Jean took a deep breath, raised her eyebrows, and said, "My husband has considered buying a car


    for me. But I have always been hesitant about driving. Since I am afraid of driving, he gave up the idea


    of buying me a car. Tell me something, Miss Chen, why do you seem to be so interested in my personal


    life?"


    "No, no. I am just wondering what kind of life a woman can expect after marrying a man from a wealthy


    family. I feel that my life in the future will be like yours... Haha..." Mandy giggled in a feigned


    embarrassment before ncing at Ethan shyly. Then she continued, "I just want to learn from you."


    "Just eat fragrantly, drink happily and sleep well." Jean''s answer seemed to be perfect as Mandy was


    rendered speechless.


    For a long time, no one spoke.


    Jean was relieved at the reprieve. However, her happiness did notst as Mandy used bitter sarcasm


    to attack Jean again.


    "Since your husband loves and cares about you so much, how could he be willing to let you walk to


    work?" Mandy feigned ignorance and asked Jean with curiosity.


    This question really baffled Jean.


    She did not know how to answer. After all, Zed had thrown her out of the car! How could she exin


    that to Mandy?


    "Doesn''t your husband treat you well? Did you lie earlier?" Mandy raised her eyebrows slightly to show


    the disdain she felt. A smile crept onto her bright red lips. She didn''t stop for Jean to reply. Instead, she


    kept talking, "Once a woman gets married, it bes harder and harder to keep the husband


    engaged. Sometimes, men fall out of love with their wives. If you are dumped by Zed Qi, you will

    be an outcast. And it will be almost impossible for you to find another man to rely on."
