Chapter 289: My Hands Slipped Once

Before she transmigrated and went through several worlds, Chu Jiao deeply resented Wen Jiaojiao.

Just because Wen Jiaojiao was the heroine, the family and the life she should have had no longer existed. Even she, herself, became a small stumbling block for her and the male lead's road to a 'Happy Ending.'

However, after going through so many experiences and realizations in the past worlds, this writhing indignance and jealousy had long disappeared in Chu Jiao's heart. She thought that perhaps it was because she didn't have anything in the beginning, so she had always longed for affection to fill her empty heart. However, now that she was taught what love truly was and how to be her true self, other insignificant things and trivial people could no longer shake or hurt her anymore.

Looking at the female lead, who took possession of her original family and her life right now, Chu Jiao actually felt that she was a little ridiculous.

"Assistant Wen..." Chu Jiao confidently picked up the coffee by her hand and stood up, unabashedly sizing Wen Jiaojiao up and down.

Wen Jiaojiao was wearing an expensive Chanel white satin dress shirt and a matching pencil skirt today. She also wore nude high heels that were at least 10 cm tall, looking very capable and beautiful at the same time. However, at a glance, her appearance looked somewhat domineering.

Whereas, Chu Jiao was just wearing a normal T-shirt and jeans at the moment. She was also a bit shorter than Wen Jiaojiao, but from the perspectives of the people around them, they suddenly felt that she was equally just as powerful as Wen Jiaojiao.

"What are you looking at, you..." Before Wen Jiaojiao could finish uttering the words 'ugly monster,' she suddenly let out a shriek, "Ahhh!!!"

Everyone who heard this immediately turned around to look at the spectacle taking place, only to see the usually lofty director's assistant now having a huge brown coffee stain on her chest. Her hands were also drenched with liquid dripping down on them.

Chu Jiao put the empty coffee cup down on the table and said coolly, "Last time, Assistant Wen spilled a glass of water on my hand. Today, my hands also merely slipped. Assistant Wen doesn't mind, right? After all, the liquid isn't hot, and it's not as troublesome as Assistant Wen's scalding water."

The colleagues surrounding them instinctively sucked in a cold breath when they saw this, not expecting that Chu Jiao would actually face Wen Jiaojiao head on without any fear.

After all, in the entire company, who didn't know that Wen Jiaojiao was the treasured pearl set in the Wen Family's and was even the rumored girlfriend of the Director Xiao. Perhaps one day, they would all have to call her Madame since she would hold power over them. Who would dare provoke her?

"It's my choice whether to remove the birthmark on my face or not. I ask Assistant Wen to please learn to respect people and also not to disturb others' work by bringing up such irrelevant matters during working hours..." Chu Jiao's words compelled the onlookers to nod repeatedly, but her following words made them suck in a cold breath yet again.

"As for the matter of climbing up to the president's thigh, Assistant Wen should just think for yourself. Don't stick a shit basin1Shit basin refers to blame. So essentially, she's telling her not to pass the blame onto her. on someone else's head, not everyone likes your Director Xiao."

Chu Jiao said this without hesitation, because she was no longer as superficial as she was back then, liking someone only for their looks alone. She only liked 'him,' and she didn't mind whatever he looked like, or what identity he had. If... he was also in this world.

"Assistant Wen, Director Xiao is calling for you."

These words suddenly broke the silence of the tense scene. Wen Jiaojiao tremblingly pointed at Chu Jiao with crazy red eyes and a malevolent expression, "You, you, just you wait for me!"

Chu Jiao returned to her a small smile that obviously said 'WHO CARES,' successfully infuriating Wen Jiaojiao so much that she couldn't even respond with harsh words. The seething Wen Jiaojiao could only turn around and produce loud clacks with her high heels, storming out of the office, while the rest of the onlookers told Chu Jiao with either gloating or worried faces.

"Chu Jiao, if you call her out like this, be careful of her reporting this to the director."

"Yeah, if a change in personnel happens, you might end up being the one transferred to another branch."

"It's alright," Chu Jiao calmly continued the work she was doing. "I believe Director Xiao knows how to separate public and private affairs."

Little Theater:

Chu Jiao: Don't stick a shit basin on other people's heads!

Xiao Qi: Oh? Me, a shit basin?

Chu Jiao: I... I was wrong. You smell good, really good!
