Fated love: the unwanted bride

Editor: Exodus Tales

Qiao Sinian took another puff from his cigarette. A layer of cigarette ash gathered on the floor.

One cigarette, two cigarettes…

After he smoked five cigarettes, Qiao Sinian finally calmed down. He closed the curtains and went back to his room to rest.

When the news was released, everyone knew that Qiao Sinian had returned to Beijing. But none of the reporters had ever dared to take photos of him nor follow him.

Master Qiao had always kept a low-profile and everyone knew that.

However, Ye Jiaqi had taken a picture of him.

Early the next morning, Ye Jiaqi arrived at her immediate supervisor’s office in full spirits.

“Jia Qi, how did you get your hands on this photo?” Ms Qin asked with a crafty expression.

“Hahaha, I took it when I was passing by. It was all good luck.”

Ye Jiaqi rubbed her hands awkwardly…

She actually knew many things about Master Qiao that she dare not to say.

“Took it whilst passing by? You know that for our line of business, it’s okay to take photos but we must not get into trouble. You took a photo of Master Qiao. How is that okay?”

“Ms Qin, what do you mean?” Ye Jiaqi asked, her eyes widened in shock.

Ms Qin had even complimented her yesterday. She had assumed that Ms Qin would talk to her today about her job tenure.

She had never thought that this would be said!!

“You’ve followed me for almost two months. I thought you would be a good successor, however now you have committed a major incident. The only thing I can do is fire you.”

“But Ms Qin, you didn’t say that to me last night! You even used my photo and information. I have chat logs here!”

Ye Jiaqi would not accept this. She had waited so long for this opportunity.

She took out her phone to show Ms Qin the messages.

Ms Qin took her phone and briefly scanned it before deleting everything.

“Is that so? But there’s nothing now…” Ms Qin said whilst raising an eyebrow before chucking Ye Jiaqi’s phone back to her. “You can leave now.”

“Ms Qin, how can you abandon me once you achieve your goals? This was such a big headline and you can get a lot of commission. Why should you fire me?”

Ye Jiaqi’s face was flushed with anger and she gritted her teeth.

“You’re fired because I said so. How dare you not accept this? Do you think that this company is run by you? How dare you talk to me in that tone?!” Ms Qin responded in a furious tone.

Yesterday’s news made such a large headline and her boss had told her that Master Qiao would definitely hold them accountable.

And when it reached that point of time, Zun Huang would definitely get involved. So the best decision at this point was to dismiss Ye Jiaqi right now and blame her for everything.

In this way, they would not only gain success and fame but also not take responsibility.

“You have to be reasonable! If you want to fire me, you have to give a reason!”

Ye Jiaqi would not accept this!

She would not accept this!

“I use kind words to convince you to leave and you don’t. And now you come to tell me that you need a reason to leave? Ye Jiaqi, go look at yourself in a mirror. You’re only an intern and you tell me I need a reason to fire you?!”

Ms Qin smacked the table with force.

“You’re being unreasonable. So don’t blame me if I stir this up. And by that time, Master Qiao will know that the news of him returning to China was leaked from Zun Huang. Then, you guys wouldn’t be able to get away either!” Ye Jiaqi threatened.

“Really? Who do you think you are? Would you know Master Qiao? Stir things up? What a joke.” Ms Qin said in disdain and contempt. “If you were to know Master Qiao, I would call you my great aunt!”

“I’m not going to argue with you any further, but I won’t go today.”

YeJiaQi was determined to hold her ground.

“If you don’t leave by yourself, I will kick you out!”

Ms Qin rolled up her sleeves and stood up furiously.

How dare this intern make so much trouble for me alongside with questioning my authority?!

Ms Qin was taller than Ye Jiaqi by an entire head. She dragged Ye Jiaqi by the sleeves towards the exit of the company building.

“For an intern to dare yell at me? I tell you to leave kindly and you don’t. And now, you won’t even get money from your internship salary!”

With that, Ms Qin threw Ye Jiaqi out.
