Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 221 What Are You Doing

Eva looked so vicious and cunning at that moment that Jean wished badly to give her an unmerciful

slap.

'How can there be such a shameless woman who enjoys flirting with other's husband?

Besides, she takes pride in her shamelessness. She even threateningly stared at me! Your cheapness

astonishes me, ' Jean murmured to herself.

"Who can't continue to be a part of the Qi family?" A sweet voice suddenly interrupted their

conversation. Hearing the voice, both Jean and Eva stopped their argument.

With a confused look, Jean caught Jesse walking towards them. With focused eyes, Jesse tried

figuring out what was going on.

A rush of excitement passed Eva's gloomy cheeks and she looked at Jesse as her last resort. She

hurriedly walked over to Jesse and politely greeted her, "Miss Tang, it has been a long time since we

last met."

Funnily, Jesse failed to recognize Eva and eyed her carefully trying to place her, but in vain. Taking

some moments out, she vaguely thought of her name and stammered, "You are...... E......"

"Yeah, I am Eva Xu, " Eva said happily. Eva didn't mind that Jesse found her hard to place because

she wasn't the sort to feel embarrassed.

After Eva introduced herself, Jesse interestingly looked at her. She sensed something in Jean's silence

and asked Eva why she had come here.

"I came here to meet you since I heard you guys were on a holiday." Eva put on a fake smile and

continued, "now Miss Tang has gotten more and more beautiful. I am finding it hard to take my eyes off

you......"

"That's enough. Stop your empty talks right now! Why weren't your words so sweet when you were

dating Zed?" Jesse jeered at her like she deserved no respect.

Eva had been defiant when Zed backed her up.

"Miss Tang, I was childish and ignorant back then. Hope you will forgive me for my mistakes." Eva had

egg on her face, but immediately smiled.

Let bygones be bygones, Jesse thought, and she didn't wish to get tangled in these old fights. Now,

she once again examined Jean's face.

Seeing Jean's frozen look, Jesse asked Eva with great curiosity, "What were you talking about? Eva,

were you threatening Jean before I came? How could you be so bold to treat her that way? Jean isn't

the same as before. Now, she is Zed's wife and the Qi Family's daughter-in-law. Be careful before you

blurt rubbish, or else brother Zed is going to burn you alive."

Jesse pretended to kindly remind Eva where she belonged.

"How dare I? I was just reminding Mrs. Jean how lucky she is to be married to Zed since she is taking it

for granted." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Eva was smart. From Jesse's tone, she could sense Jesse's hostility to Jean.

Due to this, Eva pretended like she was on Jean's side and spoke pathetically to her.

Jesse stopped and tried to notice Jean's facial expression, but found it hard to read. Normally Jean

liked talking a lot, but today she was completely silent. "It sounds like you are trying to imply something.

Can you be more clear?"

"Nothing, but last night, I saw that......" Pretending like she didn't want to say anything, Eva intentionally

started telling Jesse what happened the other night.

On the other side, Jean was standing worried praying for someone to save her marriage.

Both Jesse and Eva secretly hoped this piece of information would tear apart Zed and Jean's marriage.

Undoubtedly, the consequences would be rather serious if Eva told Jesse everything that happened

last night.

"Eva......" Jean budged in. She tried to look calm and carried on, "That night, I just went shopping with

my colleagues. Are you even jealous of that?"

"Went shopping......" Eva asked. Eva gave a snort of contempt and satisfaction. She realized Jesse

wanted to hear the story and felt like she was winning this game.

"Yes! I went shopping that night. Or what else did you think I was doing?" she asked. Jean secretly

winked at Eva and pretended like she didn't care what she was about to say.

This wink left Eva stunned as she had no idea what the reaction meant.

'What does that wink mean?

Is she doing this because she doesn't want me to reveal about that night?

Could that be the reason?

Or is she willing to let me meet Zed now?'

With a lot of thoughts in her mind, Eva found it extremely hard to decipher Jean's mind.

After all, Jean was Zed's wife even if Jesse meant a lot to him.

She thought Jean would have a better shot at helping her than Jesse.

Eva decided to use Jean instead of Jesse.

It was easier for her to deal with Jean than to deal with Jesse.

After this confrontation with Jesse, she felt more confident to stand up against Jean if she tried to act

smart.

All of a sudden, she plotted a good plan, smiled and deliberately sighed, "Sure, I just admire the fact

that you have someone to shop with you so late at night. I wish someone would do that with me."

Hearing these words, Jean concluded that Eva had decided to stand on her side. Immediately, her

mind was set at rest, and she felt much more relaxed.

Eva's subtle facial expression was immediately discerned by Jesse, who immediately asked her with a

smile, "But I just heard you say that Jean couldn't continue to be a part of the Qi Family anymore. What

does that have to do with late-night shopping?"

"Oh, you mean this!" Suddenly, Eva smiled, "It was really very late last night, but Jean was still outside

with another lady. I am persuading Jean not to wander outside late at night, because the public security

isn't very good in this City. I mean, if something happens to her, then she won't be able to live with the

Qi Family. So I was just giving her advice to stay safe."

After finishing her words, Eva intentionally looked at Jean

As if to remind her she was at her mercy.

Jean stealthily heaved a sigh of relief and gently nodded at Eva showing she was thankful for it.

On close inspection, Jean's clothes could be noticed to be wet with sweat. It was clear she had been

afraid at the prospect of Eva revealing the club story.

"So, you really care about Jean?" Full of doubts, Jesse put out this question. Jesse wasn't a fool,

hence she was soaked in doubt by the sudden turn of events.

"If that's how you want to put it, I just want to make sure Jean keeps Zed happy." Now Eva just overdid

her part, and Jesse detected the irony. She managed to look unhinged and explained, "As you know, I

find it hard to believe Zed would marry such an ordinary woman."

Upon hearing Eva's explanation, Jesse looked satisfied and stopped looking at Jean so shrewdly.

Jean smiled bitterly because she knew what Eva said wasn't a charade. Instead, she actually believed

it.

"Eva, Zed is married so just try to forget him!" Jesse pointed out the truth, like always, and hit her hard

without any mercy.

"What about my heart? How to get it back?" Eva sadly shifted her attention to Jesse before she

furiously stared at Jean.

Jean felt angry for the hatred was being directed at her. She thought, 'It was not me who asked you to

forget your love for Zed. Then, why do you vent all your anger at me?

What the hell is wrong with Jesse?

Why can't she just let it go?'

Since Eva has been pacified, Jean hoped there wouldn't be any mention of the club night.

Zed, on the other side, was getting worried since Jean had been missing for a while now. After

searching everywhere, he paused when he saw the three women standing like a trio. "What are you

doing?" he yelled making all the three turn around.
