Chapter 315 Cyber Violence


    "Alright, just don''t tell me that you are not going toe 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. Thest


    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 it 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 thements on Weibo.


    That video had be a trending topic and there were all kinds of spections and suspicions within


    thements.


    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 thements, 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 Weiboments, the


    more irritated she became.


    Having experienced simr violence in the past on the Inte, 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,


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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…" eximed Jean out of surprise. She nearly forgot all about John and hadn''t expected a visit


    from him.


    ''It''s sote now! what did hee 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 yful tone looking


    rxed.


    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


    ourpany. 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 Jeane 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 find the purest and the most


    treasurable rtionship."


    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 tofort others, but it''s quite another to


    actually do it. But, Jean, I really hope that you wille 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 urred 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, wasing was a big deal for her.


    ''Benjamin Qi, the one who had a great deal of influence on the Imperial Capital, was nowing 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 wasing to H City, '' registered Jean''s muddled mind.


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


    After all, ording 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.
