Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife
Chapter 431: Love Rival (2)

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Love Rival (2)

Could Wa Zicong not have guessed the numerous calculations Lin Jiale was making?

When Xiaoliu heard the news and hurried in to see him, he saw that Wa Zicong looked calm, as if nothing had happened. For a moment, Xiaoliu was afraid that Wa had been too shocked, and he asked in a low voice, "Manager Wa—"

"I’m leaving, and since you’ve been following me, I’m afraid things won’t be easy for you. Look, if you feel like you can’t continue working there. They might blacklist me, but not necessarily you. I have a few contact numbers here, all from headhunting firms. Just mention my name, and they should be willing to help you find a suitable new position," Wa Zicong said as he lifted his head to speak to him.

Xiaoliu was instantly moved and asked, "What about you, Manager Wa?"

"I’ve got to go back to my old home to hide out for a while."

"Back to your old home?"

"Don’t worry. Those people won’t amount to much; they’re bound to be done for eventually. I’ll just lie low for now, and when the time comes, wait for a good opportunity to make a comeback," Wa Zicong said, patting the other’s shoulder with ease.

Xiaoliu knew that despite his relaxed words, Wa probably didn’t feel as relaxed on the inside.

So many people leave their home towns for big cities in hopes of making a name for themselves. Now, having achieved nothing substantial, going back to their old homes, isn’t it like returning defeated, tails between their legs? Could they really bear it?

Sure enough, Wa’s mother was the first who couldn’t accept it.

She and her son had stayed at a hotel the previous night, and Wa’s mother was preparing to advise against staying in those dirty, cheap rental rooms the next day. Today her son came back and directly told her he had been fired from his job and needed to return to their old home.

Wa’s mother felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Zicong, absolutely not! Have you forgotten? Before, those relatives at your father’s house, how did they talk about you and me? Going back now, what difference is it from being dead?"

"Mom, we’re alive, aren’t we? We’re just looked down upon, that’s all. It’s not like we’ll be held in contempt forever."

Wa’s mother then began to tug at her son’s clothes, "No, absolutely not! We’ve finally made it through the hard times. Zicong, I’m begging you, go back and apologize to Mr. Lin and Yishan. Is it really so hard to admit you were wrong about one thing?"

Wa Zicong was about to push his mother’s hands away when a Maserati stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Lin Yishan got out from the opened car door.

As soon as Wa’s mother saw Lin Yishan, she rushed towards her as if seeing a savior, calling out, "Shanshan, are you here to see Zicong?"

Lin Yishan just nodded slightly toward Wa’s mother, but her eyes were fixed on Wa Zicong.

From her gaze, Wa Zicong clearly understood what she wanted.

Wa’s mother quickly tugged at her son again, "Zicong, apologize quickly!"

"There’s nothing left to say," Wa Zicong stated.

Wa’s mother was taken aback.

Her son’s resolute attitude was something she had never seen before; what was going on?

Lin Yishan’s expression suddenly changed, and looking at him, she bit her lip, "I know, you want to go back to her—"

Wa Zicong chuckled coldly, "Why don’t you say you think about her all the time?"

"That’s an excuse! You just want to get back with her. If that’s what you wanted, you should have said so! But let me be clear, you won’t be able to be with her again. She’s someone else’s wife now!"

In the face of her outburst, Wa Zicong remained indifferent, preparing to brush past her to go to the counter to check out and buy a ticket back to his old home.

This disregard made Lin Yishan feel even more humiliated and intolerable. Then, she caught sight of Wa’s mother and smiled, "Auntie, you see everything. It’s clear who is at fault, isn’t it? I do like Zicong, and I genuinely want to be with him. But there’s nothing I can do; he’s been bewitched by that woman. He’s willing to give up on me, to give up such a bright future—"
