Cidian, Forgot to Tell you it’s Still Disgusting! (Second Update)

Translator: 549690339

The two were chatting when the car arrived at the Ji Family’s villa.

First, Xin Zaozao drove Ji Baili home.

Ji Baili got out of the car, and Xin Zaozao, out of courtesy, followed.

Ji Baili didn’t leave immediately but suddenly asked, “If you dislike living with Wan Quan’s family so much, why don’t you leave, why not live separately from them?” “Because it’s my home.” Xin Zaozao stated frankly.

“That’s foolish. Why make things difficult for yourself?” Ji Baili advised.

“So that I can grow up faster.” Xin Zaozao was adamant.

Ji Baili was somewhat moved at that moment.

This woman didn’t want to move out, but she was forcing herself to stand strong with no chance of retreat.

How much hurt had she endured to strengthen herself to this point?

His heart ached.

He was strangely affected by Xin Zaozao.

He contemplated, he would pamper her for life, for all the hurt Xin Zaozao had suffered these past twenty years, he would slowly make it up to her.

If… if only, life’s affairs were predictable.

He bent down, leaned close to Xin Zaozao, and planted another kiss on her forehead.

Xin Zaozao flushed again.

Ji Baili said, “Good night. See you tomorrow.” “Good night.”

Ji Baili watched as Xin Zaozao got back into the car.

Xin Zaozao rolled the windows down, waved.

Ji Baili watched the car drive away before he turned and entered the villa.

Xin Zaozao rested in the back seat.

She gazed at Jin City’s night view passively.

Why not leave the villa?

Why live with people who bore her ill will?

Because…

Because she wanted revenge.

She wanted to take the hurt she had suffered and pay it back to them in full.

Soon.

The car arrived at the villa.

The moment she left the car, she saw Mu Cidian.

It seemed like he had walked home.

She should assume he walked.

She walked straight into the main hall with Nie Feng.

Mu Cidian followed them from behind.

They moved, one behind the other.

The villa was relatively quiet at this moment; Wan Quan had arrived home early and probably went to rest.

The corridor of the second-floor bedrooms was eerily silent.

“Xin Zaozao.”

Xin Zaozao paused momentarily. Mu Cidian asked, “Have you fallen in love with Ji Baili?” Xin Zaozao turned around.

She answered, “What does it have to do with you?”

“What if it does?”

“Then it still has nothing to do with me.” Xin Zaozao stated straightforwardly, then smirked sarcastically, “But tell me, Mu Cidian, don’t you think you’re shameless sometimes?”

Mu Cidian just stared at her.

“Before I thought you were only ambitious, had a strong desire for revenge, and I even defended your past actions for a while. Now I realize you’re just despicable and mean,” she said.

So, in Xin Zaozao’s eyes…

He was despicable and mean.

“What’s the purpose of the contract you are offering me? I can’t figure it out. Thankfully, I saw what you and a few directors were up to today. Mu Cidian, I swear I won’t believe a single word you say from now on. And I hope you can keep your distance. I don’t want to waste any time on you- not even ten minutes!”

After leaving him with that, Xin Zaozao turned around and left.

Mu Cidian watched her retreating figure.

He watched the distance between them widen.

In reality, they never were close.

He headed to his room.

He silently made his way to his room. Today, everything he did was in vain.

He pushed open the door.

His eyes widened.

There was a woman in his room, lying on his bed, smiling seductively.

His throat tightened.

Shocked one second, the next he figured out the reason.

He didn’t need to think hard to know his mother had sent the woman, only because she assumed he had feelings for Xin Zaozao.

It was not just an assumption…

His throat bobbed; he looked coldly at the woman in front of him.

The woman had been posing for a long time, but the man at the door didn’t move. She was a starlet, men crazy for her; however, he was unmoved.

Right.

He must be doing this deliberately.

She had seen many men like him before.

She smiled even more brightly, then slowly got up, swaying towards Mu Cidian.

She reached her hand towards his cheek, smiling seductively.

Mu Cidian raised his hand.

A figure seemed to appear beside him.

That familiar figure caused him to stiffen instantly.

The woman’s hand ended up on his cheek as he froze.

Xin Zaozao watched the scene in front of her.

She suddenly laughed. She said, “I forgot to tell you, you are still disgusting.”

She turned around and left.

Mu Cidian was left frozen, by the words “You are still disgusting” from Xin Zaozao.

However, the woman in front of him was completely oblivious to his emotions.

Her hand slowly began to move downwards.

“Get lost,” Mu Cidian said.

His voice was cold.

The woman jumped in surprise, and stuttered, “Young Master, I can make you experience ecstasy…

Ah!”

The woman shrieked.

Mu Cidian gripped her fingers, applying so much pressure it felt like he was about to break them.

The woman was in terrible pain, “Young Master, I beg you to let me go… Ah… it hurts… it hurts so much… wuu…”

The corridor echoed with the woman’s pleas for mercy.

The soundproofing should have been effective, but it wasn’t.

Xin Zaozao furrowed her brows.

She usually preferred to be alone when Nie Feng took a bath.

Ironically, she had ended up witnessing such a disgusting scene as soon as she left the room.

However, it was understandable.

Mu Cidian and Wu Qianyuan had broken their engagement quite some time ago. How could he not have a woman for so long?

He had sought her when Wu Qianyuan was not in the picture.

Without Wu Qianyuan now, there were plenty of women around.

She should have been used to it.

But…

Did they need to make such a commotion?

She thought Mu Cidian was not the type of man who enjoyed passion.

At least not with her.

However, upon reflection, that was probably because he didn’t really want to be with her, so there was no passion.

At this moment, as she saw Nie Feng finish his shower and was about to head to the bathroom.

There was a knock on the door.

Xin Zaozao frowned.

Nie Feng looked at Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao thought for a moment, then went to open the door.

Mu Cidian stood before her.

Xin Zaozao looked at him, her eyes emotionless. “That was quick?” she asked.

That quick? It was over.

This wasn’t Mu Cidian’s style.

She could even notice that he hadn’t even taken off his clothes.

He answered, “No.”

Whether or not, it was none of her business.

She calmly looked at him, expressionless, unbothered.

“Apart from you, apart from Wu Qianyuan…” said Mu Cidian.

Xin Zaozao stared at him.

At that moment, it seemed like Mu Cidian could not continue speaking.

Xin Zaozao didn’t feel the need to be patient with him. “I really don’t want to waste my time on you. I don’t think it’s worth it,” she said.

“I’m very disgusting, am I?” Mu Cidian suddenly asked. “Very much so,” Xin Zaozao added an adjective.

At that moment, Mu Cidian fell silent again.

Xin Zaozao said, “Do you need to confirm anything else? Let’s get it over with once and for all, so we don’t waste each other’s time in the future.” Mu Cidian looked at her.

The disdain she had was clearly written on her face.

He turned around and walked away.

Xin Zaozao watched his retreating figure.

She really didn’t know what Mu Cidian was up to, and she didn’t want to ponder over his cryptic words; she might even choose to forget them.

She abruptly closed the room door.

Mu Cidian’s departing figure paused for a moment.

Perhaps, he truly disgusted her.

The next day.

Mu Cidian got up.

He was no longer rising early and didn’t work as obsessively as before; he could sleep until he naturally woke up.

When he naturally woke up and looked at the alarm clock beside him, it was only 7 a.m.

He leisurely got up, and before washing and brushing, he went to the balcony to smoke.

He deeply inhaled from his cigarette.

On the neighboring balcony, Xin Zaozao had already finished tidying up, seemingly waiting for Nie Feng to leave.

She turned her head, saw Mu Cidian sitting on his balcony in just long pants, smoking, with no shirt on.

In the past, she never saw Mu Cidian every morning. If she knew she would see him, she would not have come out.

She turned around and went straight back to her bedroom.

The moment she returned to the bedroom, she let out a sarcastic laugh.

Mu Cidian’s half-naked upper body was covered with red marks, densely packed…

Mu Cidian straight on the balcony kept gazing in the direction Xin Zaozao had left, staring for a long time before indifferently looking ahead and continuing to smoke.

The smoke billowed.

He didn’t even know how many cigarettes he had smoked.

He got up to wash and brush up.

To get dressed.

In the mirror, he saw the marks on his body.

Probably.

Even with a wash, they would still disgust him.

He put on a dress shirt, tied up his tie, put on his suit, and walked out of the room.

Xin Zaozao had naturally left already.

He went downstairs and his mother was eating breakfast, beckoning him to join her. Mu Cidian sat opposite his mother, and he ate his breakfast indifferently.

“Last night, I heard you didn’t use it.” Wan Quan said bluntly.

Mu Cidian knew what his mother was talking about, “No, don’t prepare it for me in the future, I don’t need it.”

“Cidian, you’re grown up now, when there’s a need for certain things, it’S necessary. Your mother isn’t that conservative…”

“I wish you were more conservative.” Mu Cidian suddenly interjected her words.

Wan Quan gazed straight at Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian finished his congee quickly in a few mouthfuls and said to the maid, “Pack one for me. Do this for me every day from now.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Mu Cidian said, “For today’s board meeting, dress more formally.”

Wan Quan glared at Mu Cidian unpleasantly.

However, Mu Cidian’s attention was not on her. He took breakfast from the maid and left.

Watching the back of Mu Cidian leaving, Wan Quan’s suppressed emotion erupted, and she violently threw her chopsticks on the table.

The maid dared not even breathe.

Mu Cidian drove to the company.

He was still carrying a packet of breakfast.

It still felt somewhat out of place.

Mu Cidian handed the breakfast to Yan Quan.

Without saying a word, he returned to his office.

Yan Quan watched Mu Cidian’s back

Actually… Mu Cidian is inherently not bad, having dedicated many years to the group’s future developments and never involved in anything that harms common goodness. But he didn’t know why he had such bad chemistry with Chairwoman Xin Zaozao

He picked up the breakfast, knocked and entered Xin Zaozao’s room.

Xin Zaozao glanced up at him, saw what he was carrying, and grinned cheerfully, “Uncle Yan, thanks to your wife.”

Yan Quan responded with a smile.

He passed the breakfast to Zaozao, “Eat your breakfast first. The strategy meeting is at ten o’clock, there’s still time to prepare.”

“Thank you.”

With that, Xin Zaozao opened the breakfast. The aroma was familiar; it really suited her palate.

She ate rather quickly.

Yan Quan waited for her to finish, cleared up the cutlery, and left.

He returned the cutlery to General Manager Mu Cidian.

Placed it on his coffee table and prepared to leave.

“Secretary Yan.” Mu Cidian called him suddenly.

‘Yes, General Manager Mu.” “Did she finish eating?”

“She finished.”

“Does she know I sent it?” Mu Cidian asked.

Yan Quan paused for a moment, “I didn’t tell her. I was afraid if I did…”

“From now on, never tell her.”

“Hmm?”

“Just as you believe, speaking up doesn’t mean giving up,” Mu Cidian said with indifference, “Get out.”

‘Yes.

Yan Quan left.

He felt that Mu Cidian had changed quite a lot.

The old him had a strong offensive nature, anyone standing before him could feel his oppressing presence, but now … it didn’t seem so obvious anymore.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

The highest decision-making meeting of the Xin Group board of directors.

Xin Zaozao took a deep breath.

She left the office and headed to the meeting room.

Her attire was more formal than usual today, after all, this was the most important meeting in the corporation and she had to pay attention to decorum.

Standing at the meeting room door.

She paused her strides.

Yan Quan was standing at the door to the meeting room, his hand on the door handle, waiting.

This was her third time attending this Idnd of meeting, each time she felt the pressure, so she needed some time to slightly adjust her emotional state.

She looked up, signaling to Yan Quan.

Yan Quan opened the grand doors of the meeting room for her.

Xin Zaozao entered.

The high-end conference room added an increased level of seriousness to the entire meeting.

She took the seat directly in the middle position, below her, all were directors who were older than her, including Wan Quan.

Wan Quan!

It was not Mu Cidian.

Wan Quan was sitting in the position where Mu Cidian usually did.

Her eyes moved slightly.

She vaguely remembered Mu Cidian saying that he would transfer his shares to her.

Thankfully it was a long time ago and she didn’t remember it clearly now.

She had not spoken yet.

Wan Quan suddenly took the lead and said, “Let me introduce myself first.”

Xin Zaozao looked at her.

Wan Quan didn’t look at Xin Zaozao at all, and simply behaved as though Xin Zaozao was beneath her attention, “1 am the mother of Mu Cidian, the wife of the former chairman of Xin Group, Xin He.

Starting today, I’ll officially join our Xin Group’s board of directors. Secretary Wu.”

Standing behind Wan Quan was Wu Qing, who used to be Mu Cidian’s secretary. She hurriedly came forward, “Yes.”

“Give the share transfer agreement of Mu Cidian to all the directors to review.”

“Yes.”

Wu Qing began to show the document to each of them.

This process really took quite a while, but Wan Quan could sit there so indifferently in her position.

At this moment, Xin Zaozao just watched Wan Quan, who behaved as if she were the rightful owner.

After a while.

Wu Qing showed the agreement to everyone.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes fluttered slightly, “Director Wan, have you shown off enough?”

Wan Quan’s smiling face suddenly darkened, “Xin Zaozao, what do you mean by that! Show off? Do I need to show off?! I simply meticulously told everyone about my identity, unlike some people who are sitting here with no sense of propriety.” Of course, she was referring to Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao was cold.

She didn’t want to say a word more to Wan Quan. It was just wasting everyone’s time.

She turned her eyes to Yan Quan, “Secretary Yan, would you please introduce today’s meeting agenda to everyone.”

“Yes.” Yan Quan answered respectfully.

Just as he was about to start.

Wan Quan suddenly interrupted, “No need to say it, we all know it. It’S about the development project of the golf resort. This time, we all vote to cooperate with Hengda Group.”

Xin Zaozao bit her lip.

“Let’s just start the vote, without making it so complicated and time wasting.” Wan Quan gave the order.

At this moment, Xin Zaozao seemed completely overlooked.

“Well, let’s directly vote then, everyone is quite busy.” Liu Wudong nodded.

A few others echoed the sentiment as well.

“Those who agree to cooperate with Hengda Group, please cast your votes.” Liu Wudong said.

10 directors’ members casted votes.

As expected, Wu Qiang and Zheng Feng chose to abstain.

With this outcome.

Her individual forty-one percent of shares could naturally not outweigh forty-nine percent of shares.

She pursed her lips.

Wan Quan’s smile was brilliant. She just arranged the order, never really considering Xin Zaozao’s opinions, “So, the cooperation with Hengda Group is settled. Starting from tomorrow, we will invite the person in charge of Hengda Group to sign the contract, so as to start the project at the earliest time. This way, we can maximize profits and bring returns to Xin Group. It’s time to adjourn.”

For a while, Wan Quan seemed to be in full control.

All the directors prepared to stand up and leave.

Just at the moment of departure, Xin Zaozao suddenly said, “Did I say that the meeting was over?”

Word by word, her voice rang out clearly.

At that moment, it stopped all the directors who were about to leave in their tracks!
