Chapter 10: The Cannon Fodder Fiancée (10)
Page 1 of 3
In the world of overbearing CEOs, there was nothing they could not accomplish.
Forget her personal records—even the records of her entire family could be placed on the CEO’s desk within minutes, provided he wanted to know and was willing to wield his extraordinary powers.
Yun Jin had never imagined that, from the very day she disappeared, information about her ancestors going back eighteen generations would be laid before Xie Yanci.
In front of Xie Yanci, she had not the slightest shred of privacy. Nothing could remain hidden from him.
Stay calm.
After all, he was the man who had given her a black card. She could not afford to act recklessly toward her financial backer.
Yun Jin put on a professional smile. “Did you need something?”
“Who am I to you?”
“My husband.” Yun Jin’s attitude was sincerely apologetic, and her voice immediately turned soft and coquettish, stirring a wave of heat low in Xie Yanci’s abdomen.
By his count, they had not seen each other for five days.
The little liar had shown remarkable restraint, never seeking him out. She had not even used the black card he had given her. It seemed she had truly forgotten him.
What irritated Xie Yanci even more was that when he called her, she had addressed him by another man’s name.
“How is the progress?”
“Ah?”
Only after a moment did Yun Jin remember that he was asking about the divorce.
She answered honestly. “Fu Han only returned today. I’ll find time to have a proper talk with him.”
“No.” The sight of his woman being intimate with another man made Xie Yanci uncomfortable from head to toe. “Talk to him over the phone. I’ll arrange for the most professional lawyer to handle it for you.”
“That won’t be necessary.” If Xie Yanci discovered that she had never registered her marriage with Fu Han in the first place, things would become a disaster.
“But there is one troublesome matter right now.”
“Tell me.”
Yun Jin said, “The incident where I caused a scene at the wedding has made the news, and it has had a serious negative impact on the Fu family.
“After returning home, Fu Han immediately began dealing with the matter. Judging from his attitude, I don’t think he’ll let me off easily.”
Compared with the Fu family, the Yun family had married well above its station.
That was why Yun Zhongshan had not dared to fall out completely with the Fu family at the wedding.
Without Xie Yanci’s help, Yun Jin’s fate would have been miserable.
Yun Zhongshan would have forced her to apologize to the Fu family.
Xie Yanci had considered this as well, and a hint of scrutiny appeared in his eyes. “What do I get in return for helping you?”
Yun Jin thought for a moment, then made a loud kiss into the phone. “Will this do?”
Xie Yanci’s eyes shifted slightly, and desire swallowed his reason in an instant.

If Yun Jin were beside him, he did not know how far he might go with her.
The long night stretched on. Without the little liar at his side, it felt unbearably lonely.
Making him endure half a month without her was torture.
After a few breaths, he regained his composure. “Leave this to me. Save my number, then add this number on WeChat later. Send me at least three messages every day. Understood?”
“Understood, hubby. I love you. Muah.”
Love could easily rob a person of their senses.
After hanging up, Xie Yanci contacted Qi Ming once more.
“Do me a favor. Push the Fu family’s scandal onto Weibo’s trending list and keep it there for a week.”
Qi Ming raised an eyebrow. “What did the Fu family do to offend you? Is it really worth paying to smear them?”
“Get it done. Send me the bill for whatever it costs.”
“Certainly, Mr. Xie. I’ll take care of it right away.”
The Qi family had made its fortune by selling information and traffic.
With Qi Ming’s help, the trending topic that the Fu family had spent a fortune removing soon reappeared at the very top of Weibo’s rankings.
It overwhelmed every entertainment scandal and became the undisputed number-one trending topic.
Fu Han now had his hands full. After being cursed out by his father until he was utterly frazzled, he worked overtime with the technical staff to deal with the scandal.
As the incident’s influence continued to spread, both Fu Han and Su Murong became famous in their own right.
The pair of faithless lovers suffered enormous consequences because of the scandal.
The Fu family’s stock kept falling, and its market value continued to shrink.
Su Murong was doxxed and cursed across the trending lists. Her phone was bombarded with calls, and her workplace was even sent razor blades and funeral wreaths.
Unable to bear the trouble, her employer publicly announced that Su Murong, an intern, had been dismissed. In reality, thanks to special consideration from the Fu family, she kept her position.
Yun Jin was deeply disgusted by the company’s shameless behavior.
It was worth mentioning that she and Su Murong had been classmates at university, both majoring in jewelry design.
Yun Jin was outstanding. Upon graduation, she received an offer from a listed company and joined a major corporation.
But her good fortune did not last long. Something happened to the Yun family.
To support them, Yun Jin resigned from the large corporation and chose to remain in City A.
Her profession remained the same—jewelry design—but she changed employers, joining a company under the Fu family.
In her second year there, Su Murong also applied to Fu Jewelry and became a colleague in the design department.
The only reason Su Murong had been able to stay with the Fu family was that Fu Han had given her preferential treatment.
Without his intervention, her mediocre abilities would have gotten her fired by the department supervisor long ago.

Yun Jin thought that if she intended to sever ties with the Fu family, she naturally could not continue working there.
These past few days, while Fu Han and Su Murong were abroad enjoying themselves, her superior had dumped all of Su Murong’s work onto Yun Jin.
Yun Jin was furious about it.
She had no intention of becoming someone else’s scapegoat. After returning to her desk, she decisively wrote her resignation letter.
Once she finished, a new memory surfaced in her mind.
Su Murong was determined to marry Fu Han, but she knew that her own status was worlds apart from his. So she had plotted against the original Yun Jin.
She carefully orchestrated a scheme and accused the original Yun Jin of stealing her design drafts.
Unable to defend herself, the original Yun Jin was dismissed by the Fu family.
After losing Fu Han’s trust, she had no choice but to curry favor with her mother-in-law, relying on the older woman’s pity to scrape by.
Now that Yun Jin had entered this world, she naturally could not allow that little schemer, Su Murong, to exploit a loophole and let the tragedy repeat itself.
So she immediately changed her computer password, encrypted the files on her computer, and backed up several copies to cloud storage.
After completing all that, Yun Jin decisively submitted her resignation to her superior.
Her superior strongly disapproved of her impulsive decision and tried hard to persuade her otherwise. But no matter how much he argued, Yun Jin’s resolve never wavered. She insisted on resigning.
Left with no alternative, her superior approved Yun Jin’s resignation.
According to company regulations, permanent employees had to remain for another month after submitting their resignations before they could officially leave.
Yun Jin expressed her understanding.
The moment she left the office, her superior called Fu Han.
“Mr. Fu, your wife has submitted her resignation. Did you know about this?”
These past few days, Fu Han had been tormented by the scandal and had barely slept.
When he heard the news, his anger surged, and his blood pressure rose with it.
“What? What is Yun Jin playing at? Why would she suddenly resign for no reason?”
Could it be because he had defended Rongrong, and she was deliberately opposing him?
If so, she was far too incompetent as Mrs. Fu.
She threw a tantrum at the slightest disagreement and acted precious whenever she pleased. What man could stand that?
Fu Han gave a cold laugh. “Let her go.”
Fu Jewelry was a prestigious local enterprise. Once she left the Fu family, where would she find another job with better pay and benefits?
