My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1633: Chapter 1634: Some People Flee in Panic

“I’ve thought about it, I’ll just take it to the dry cleaner myself. It’s just a small stain; once it’s cleaned up, it should be unnoticeable.”

She spoke extremely unwillingly, her clenched little hands as if afraid no one would notice she was being “bullied.”

Rong Yan’s gaze swept over her face and then retracted, “That doesn’t sound good. You said it wasn’t easy to borrow this dress. If the dry cleaner doesn’t handle it well and the brand finds out, it might be hard for you. I know the China representative for the brand. We’re not close, but if I explain the situation to her, she probably won’t hold the stained dress issue against you.”

“No need!” Jian Yao’s voice rose slightly. She realized Rong Yan was looking at her, then lowered her head as if shocked, biting her lip, with the feeling of being “bullied” becoming even more intense. She lowered her voice, “It was my mistake, I’m sorry, Sister Rong Yan. I won’t dare to do it again in the future. Please don’t go to the brand representative.”

She shamefully finished these words, as if greatly wronged, barely holding back her distressed voice, “I’ll head over to Sister Ying’s place and won’t disturb you any longer.”

“Hey, wait a minute…” Rong Yan wanted to call out but didn’t manage to stop her. Jian Yao left quickly, making her seem like the bad guy.

Jian Yao’s skirt fluttered as she quickly ran into the crowd. She didn’t want to draw near the throng, furrowing her brows, somewhat helplessly turning to the few friends who hadn’t left yet, politely saying, “… Did she misunderstand something? I was sincerely discussing a solution with her. If she’s indeed feeling troubled, not able to explain to the brand, I can step in for her. I meant nothing else, just wanted a resolution that satisfies everyone. Could you please convey my meaning to her?”

A few of the girls who had been following Jian Yao were nearly scared stiff, exchanging glances with each other, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes. Finally, the bravest among them stepped forward to say, “Okay, Sister Rong Yan, we’ll let her know.”

“Mm, thank you.” Rong Yan politely thanked them, then turned to the middle-aged woman beside her who was at a loss, “Come on, let’s go over there.”

“Um… okay… alright.”

The woman anxiously clutched her hands tightly, following her step by step.

Not until the two walked far away did the previously silent girls let out a long sigh, saying with surprise—

“How come I feel Rong Yan is different from the rumors.”

“I feel the same.”

“Rong Yan didn’t really say anything, just mentioned that she’d step in to explain to the brand, and Jian Yao reacted so strongly. Also… frankly, from their behavior, why does Jian Yao not seem like the rumored new flame of that big shot? How can a new flame be so afraid of the old love?”

“I think so too. When Rong Yan suddenly stepped in to speak, I thought she was going to put Jian Yao in her place. Who knew she only stood up for that cleaning worker, with no intention of making things hard for Jian Yao, handling it so openly as if Jian Yao was no different from us. If Jian Yao really struck up a relationship with Li Shengxiao, how could she be no different from us? But from Rong Yan’s behavior just now, Jian Yao seemed truly no different from us in her eyes. It’s so strange…”

“Do you think it might be fake?”

“What’s fake?”

“Jian Yao. The rumors about her and the business tycoon Mr. Li are fake! When rivals meet, there’s always tension. I noticed only she appeared uncomfortable, while Rong Yan seemed completely normal.”
