Revenge on the Ruthless CEO - Chapter 60 - Miscalculation
Murong Xiaowei said, “You could leave us, but why haven’t you come to see me for so many years? Have you forgotten that you even have a daughter?”
Dong Minxiong replied, “My child, Dad knows he was wrong, and I’ve said I would make it up to you.”
Murong Xiaowei responded, “Make it up to me? With what? With heaps of money?”
Dong Minxiong said, “My child, if you are willing to forgive me, I would be willing to give you the entire group.”
Murong Xiaowei declared, “I don’t want it, I don’t want your money. From now on, consider that you don’t have me as your daughter, and I don’t have you as a father.”
Murong Xiaowei then took the bracelet and walked out. Yin Zhichen saw her leave and asked, “Why did she leave so quickly?”
Murong Xiaowei snapped, “Why do you talk so much? If you want to leave, then leave.”
Visibly upset, Murong Xiaowei stormed out, and although Yin Zhichen didn’t understand why she was angry, he followed her anyway.
On campus, Tian Yuan found Yu Xin and asked, “Yu Xin, why have you been ignoring me these past few days?”
Yu Xin replied, “It’s nothing, I’ve just been in a bad mood lately, and I don’t think you would care, right?”
Humph! Whether he cares or not, she was already making an effort to forgive him.
Tian Yuan said, “Yu Xin, if you’re feeling down, you should talk to me about it. Keeping it all inside is bad for your health.”
Yu Xin smiled and said, “I know. Seeing how much you care has already made me feel a lot better.”
It seemed that Tian Yuan valued her quite a bit, and seeing his concern, she decided not to stay mad at him for now.
Tian Yuan said, “Xiaowei, what are you saying? You’re my girlfriend, and it’s natural for me to care about you.”
Blushing, Yu Xin teased, “Stop it, Tian Yuan, you’ve had so many girlfriends, I can only hope to be your last one.”
Tian Yuan soothed, “You are my last girlfriend, okay? Yu Xin, honestly, of all the girls I’ve known, you are the most attractive to me.”
Yu Xin remarked, “But I’m sure you won’t always like me, that much I’m certain of.”
Tian Yuan excitedly said, “Yu Xin, I genuinely like you.”
Yu Xin replied, “Yes, yes, I know you like me. Can we drop it now? But…”
Seeing her hesitate, Tian Yuan asked, “But what?”
Yu Xin seriously said, “But if you dare cheat on me with someone else, we’re done. We’ll break up straightforwardly.”
Tian Yuan swore, “Yu Xin, I’m not that kind of person. You have to believe me.”
Yu Xin said, “I have to believe you, right? Class is starting, let’s go.” She walked away, indifferent.
At the ice cream shop, Murong Xiaowei sat with various types of ice cream laid out before her.
As Murong Xiaowei scooped ice cream into her mouth, she continually murmured, “More ice cream, please. I’ll have all the ice cream you have today.”
Yin Zhichen, noticing her unusual behavior, remarked, “Murong Xiaowei, are you trying to eat yourself into obesity or death by eating so much ice cream?”
Murong Xiaowei, while eating, replied, “If getting fat makes you leave me, I’m willing to become fat.”
Yin Zhichen snatched the ice cream from her hands, saying, “Stop deluding yourself. I’ll still like you even if you become fat.”
Murong Xiaowei snatched back her ice cream and said while eating, “Yeah, as if I never spoke.”
Yin Zhichen commented, “You suddenly ordering so much food, must be in a bad mood, right?”
Murong Xiaowei responded, “Am I the type to be in a bad mood? Don’t make wild guesses if you don’t know.”
Yin Zhichen advised, “Murong Xiaowei, I still think you should eat less.”
Murong Xiaowei retorted, “I’ll eat what I want. It’s none of your business.”
Yin Zhichen said, “You think I don’t want to leave you alone? I just can’t help myself.”
Murong Xiaowei said, “You men are all particularly hypocritical, not worth trusting.”
Confused, Yin Zhichen asked, “Murong Xiaowei, have you been shocked by electricity or hurt by someone? One moment you talk about this, the next about that.”
Murong Xiaowei said indifferently, “Just pretend I was knocked down by someone.” After all, she was indeed severely affected by her father, who had never cared for her in over twenty years.
Yin Zhichen asked with interest, “Who? Who knocked you down? I’ll go settle the score for you.”
Murong Xiaowei snapped, “Will you ever stop? I don’t need anyone to handle this for me. Stay out of my business.”
Yin Zhichen angrily responded, “Yes, I have no right to interfere, but your boyfriend should at least be there for you when you’re upset. And where is he?”
Having finished a box of apple-flavored ice cream, Murong Xiaowei picked up a strawberry-flavored one and started eating again.
Noticing his furious manner, she said, “We’ve already broken up, so I didn’t tell him.”
Yin Zhichen was overjoyed, “So that’s the case. Then I have another chance to pursue you.”
Murong Xiaowei said, “I don’t need that. You should go after someone else.”
Yin Zhichen said, “Murong Xiaowei, what are you talking about? If I liked someone else, why would I pursue you?”
Murong Xiaowei replied, “This must be something you’re doing purely out of boredom.”
Yin Zhichen advised, “Murong Xiaowei, you should eat less of this stuff; it’s not good for your health.”
After finishing another box, she picked up yet another and started eating, asking, “Did you really hate me when we were initially at odds?”
Yin Zhichen sincerely admitted, “Back when we argued daily and I couldn’t win against you, I indeed hated you quite a bit.”
Murong Xiaowei asked, “So, you thought of a method, which was to pursue me and then harshly dump me to vent your anger, right?”
Yin Zhichen honestly said, “My friends did say that, but I didn’t pursue you out of revenge.”
Murong Xiaowei firmly stated, “Whether you want revenge or not, I’ll take it all; good or bad, I’m not afraid.”
Yin Zhichen remarked, “I’m saying, Murong Xiaowei, you’ve already broken up, so why won’t you accept me?”
Murong Xiaowei simply replied, “The answer is simple, because I don’t like you.”
Yin Zhichen said, “Murong Xiaowei, just wait, one day I’ll make you fall deeply in love with me.”
Murong Xiaowei replied excitedly, “Alright, I’ll be waiting. I’m curious to see what you can do.”
Yin Zhichen asked, “Murong Xiaowei, do you still have feelings for An Kai?”
If she still had feelings for that man, winning her over wouldn’t be so easy.
Murong Xiaowei said, “What happened between him and me, and what happened afterward, I don’t want to tell anyone, especially not you.”
She now deeply regretted pretending An Kai was her boyfriend. What was supposed to be a simple matter had turned into a disaster, and Murong Xiaowei realized she had miscalculated.
Yin Zhichen said, “If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t press you. Patience is crucial with a girl like you.”
After finishing a box of apple-flavored ice cream, Murong Xiaowei started on a box of strawberry-flavored ice cream, saying, “The ice cream here is so delicious, it’s incredibly satisfying.”
Yin Zhichen looked at Murong Xiaowei helplessly and said, “Frumpy girl, I advise you to eat less.”
Murong Xiaowei stubbornly replied, “Don’t tell me what to do. Today, I’ll eat whatever I want, and if anyone tries to stop me, we’re going to have a problem.”
Yin Zhichen said, “Fine, eat whatever you want, but try to keep it moderate. Just enjoy it.”
Murong Xiaowei defiantly responded, “I’ll eat whatever I want. There’s no such thing as enough.”
Yin Zhichen said, “No matter how upset you are, you shouldn’t take it out on your body, right?”
Murong Xiaowei, growing impatient, stood up, pulled out over a thousand yuan from her bag, and placed it on the table, saying, “Boss, the bill please.”
Before the owner could come over, Murong Xiaowei quickly left the place, and Yin Zhichen hurried out after her.
Once outside, Murong Xiaowei and Yin Zhichen saw Murong Qingming.
Upon seeing Murong Qingming, Murong Xiaowei asked, “Brother, what are you doing here?”
Murong Qingming replied, “Murong Xiaowei, what have you been doing all day? And Yin Zhichen, what are you doing here too?”
Murong Xiaowei said, “Brother, he followed me here on his own; it has nothing to do with me.”
