Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 275 Public Relations Team

"Come on, Maranda, stop talking nonsense. I am not going to agree on it." Jean saw the decisive

expression on Maranda's face and heard that she even planned to join Ron and Calvin to clarify the

rumors to the public. Her expressions suddenly changed as her face became gloomy.

"Jean, I know you don't want us to step in because of the fear that it could hurt our reputation. And after

that we would be in so much chaos. But if we are unable to protect you, then what's the use of this

reputation? You're my first real friend. I won't let you face it alone!" Seeing Jean's angry but gloomy

face, Maranda hurried to placate her. She didn't want Jean to be angry as it could affect her health.

"Maranda, I know you don't want me to be defamed and bullied, and I also appreciate the kindness you

two are showing towards me. I am really thankful for all this. But have you ever thought that if you

come forward in haste, you might get defamed as well? And have you thought of the effects it's going

to have on your family. You know, cyber violence is quite terrible. And what's worse, the rumors about

that video might be even more difficult to be clarified by then, " Jean said with a worried face.

"Don't worry! The Qin family has a team specializing in crisis public relations. At this juncture, if they

don't reflect the value of their existence, then we are hiring them for nothing, " Maranda said with a big

proud smile. As she knew, this team could handle this matter easily.

Instantly in surprise, Jean's eyes widened. She couldn't believe on what she had just heard, a team

dealing with crisis public relations?

She had heard about it somewhere in her past, but she used to think it existed only in the

entertainment industry. Now she found herself to be ignorant. Obviously, people from different aspects

of life would also need these crisis teams, as her incident was one of an example to consider.

But it was also not that surprising. The Qin family had a large number of people and a huge family

business. It was a real rich and powerful family.

And those stars who took great pains to marry into the rich and powerful family would be having certain

reasons and purposes.

In addition to enjoying luxury and wealth, all specialized services they received were naturally more

high-grade than as a star.

Speaking of the public relations team... If the Qin family had it, so did Zed. Zed's business was also at

the same level as that of Qin family. So, he would have this team also.

But...

Maranda told her about it so naturally in order to try and help her. She was not at all hesitant for a

minute to disclose it. It showed Maranda really cared for her.

On the contrary, the man, her nominal husband, didn't even come to see her long after she was fainted

and hospitalized, let alone help her out. All this made her feel depressed and her heart started to ache

as if someone was gripping it by a sharp paw.

The differences between people really could be bitterly disappointing at times. People could act in such

a contrasting manner from the way they were expected to act.

Maranda sensed that Jean was silent after hearing her, and obviously, Jean's mood had also changed

to desolate. Maranda carefully recalled what she had just said. It suddenly occurred to her that now as

she had mentioned that the Qin family had a public relations team, Zed would also have one, but he did

not even take any public relations measures after the rumors about Jean broke out on the Internet.

So she understood that she had mentioned the reason for Jean's sadness recently. But it was

unintentional as she didn't put so much thought in it then. She only mentioned it for better.

Maranda felt guilty at once. "Jean...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... Please don't be sad..." Becoming

incoherent because of anxiety, Maranda said remorsefully.

Ron also stared at Jean with a worried face, as he also noticed the change that happened in Jean

within the period of a few minutes. He never thought that the relations between Zed and Jean were so

weak. Realizing that, he was surprised and puzzled. Married people were expected to have healthy All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

relations between them. But it seemed that even after such a long duration of Jean's marriage, her

marriage was still strained.

"Oh, you silly girl! Please don't say that." Jean quickly looked up at Maranda and innocently smiled.

"You don't have to apologize for that. Besides, there is no longer any need to hide it from you. In fact,

when the rumors broke out, my husband just lost his temper and then left me alone. He is not good at

handling his temper. As we didn't get time to spend with each other, I didn't get the chance to clarify

myself, "

Jean said casually with an indifferent face.

"What a cold-blooded man! I used to admire you for getting married to such an excellent man, but now

I despise him very much. I never expected him to be like this." Maranda was angry on hearing about

the reaction Zed gave after the incident.

"Well, please don't get angry over this anymore. I have told you so much of my information. Now you

can see that I'm fine, and we have already shared so much. So, relax and calm yourself down. You can

go back now if you have something to deal with. Don't worry too much. And I am going to take some

rest too. All the talking have made me exhausted."

Jean didn't know whether it was because of too many troubles coming towards her recently or because

she had just fainted in the morning and hadn't got the time to recover yet.

She was feeling a little dizzy and lack of energy to talk anymore, so she intended to bid goodbye to

them. All the things were draining her energy to the core.

When Maranda saw that Jean was really looking unwell and was turning paler, she instantly blamed

herself for her carelessness of not taking care of Jean but keeping continuing the conversation. And so

she said regretfully, "Well, have a good rest and do not think too much. I'll come back tomorrow." Then

she gave Jean a affectionate hug with a smiling face and stood up to move out of the room.

"Jean, if you need any help, just contact me at any time. Don't hesitate. Take care of yourself!" Ron

also bade goodbye to her and stood up from his chair to proceed towards the door.

Jean nodded and waved goodbye to Maranda and Ron and watched them leave.

When the ward was quiet again, Jean sighed deeply in a tiring way, and then slowly lay down on her

bed. She really needed this rest, but all the things that had happened till now kept flashing in her mind.

But as she was exhausted to the core, sleep took over her in no time.

She slept for a long time. It was a dreamless quiet sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, it was almost dusk. Outside the window, the setting sun was making

a large area of clouds rosy, and the whole sky was dyed red. It was a beautiful scene to behold in the

eyes of an onlooker.

Jean sat up slowly with puffy eyes, but she felt fresh and rejuvenated while looking out at the

mesmerizing scenery and wondering slightly at the magnificence of nature.

How long had it been since she calmed down to enjoy the natural scenery last time? She wondered

while appreciating the beauty of every single cloud with different shades of color spreading across the

sky. It was as if she was getting hypnotized, with peace and calmness engulfing her.

It seemed that since she married Zed, her whole world had been occupied by him. He became the

center of her world, with either every second spending with him or over him. She already became kinda

addicted to him.

But in the end, she got nothing but abandonment in return. All the time she had spent, counted for

nothing.

Jean sighed slightly in dejection and helplessness at the thought of her time spent with Zed.

"Are you okay?" A low voice suddenly came from behind her. Jean, who was so immersed in her

thoughts, almost jumped up in fright. After taking a sound sleep, her mind was at ease and relaxed. So

she didn't realize that someone was already there.

"Oh..." Jean turned quickly and looked at John sitting at the side of the sickbed. "John, why are you

here? How long have you been here?"

"It has been a long time. I came before you woke up. You were having such a sweet sleep. I didn't want

to wake you up." John looked at Jean and answered with a gentle smile.

Before she woke up?

Jean was shocked. She looked at John and her eyes were filled with confusion. "Did you wait for me to

wake up because there is something important to tell me? Did Sonny say something?"

John didn't expect Jean to react like this. He paused slightly in surprise and then shook his head and

said, "No, don't think too much. Just take a good rest and relax. I'm here... just to see you. Because... I

was a little worried about you." Tips of John's ears were blushing stealthily. He was feeling kinda

ashamed and shy.

"Oh." Jean was relieved to hear all that, but she was getting more confused, with every second that

was passing.

John had just bought her to the hospital this morning. Why did he came to see her again now? He had

just got off work. Why didn't he go home to have a rest?

Maybe it was because he was the first one to find her out in the street in passed out state. He was

more worried about her. This must be the case!

"Jean..." John looked at her embarrassingly and called her name hesitantly. He was feeling hesitant

about saying the words.

"What?" Jean looked at him in some confusion and felt that John was not the same as usual. He was

acting strange from his self. It was hard to see him like that. What could be the reason that he was

behaving that way?

But she was having trouble in figuring out where he had changed. She had made a lot of assumptions,

but none of them seemed to match.

"I..." John summoned up the courage, but he could not say anything while Jean was staring at him with

her bright eyes. He was not feeling conscious of his tongue at that moment.

Seeing John's hesitant expression, Jean waited patiently. She was perplexed but was curious to see

John in that condition.

"I..." John finally sighed in his heart. "I just want to tell you that no matter what happened, I will believe

you. You should stay strong and not get easily overwhelmed by all these difficulties. They will pass.

Don't let them break you down."

'Oh, I see.'

Jean breathed a sigh of relief. She had just seen John's earnest face and it seemed that he had made

a great determination to say all that.

Somehow, it panicked her. She felt very contradictory. On the one hand, she felt that she should stop

John from speaking it out, but on the other hand, she wanted to hear what he really wanted to say. She

was in dilemma.

Now, on hearing John's words, her mood was inexplicably relaxed and a pleasant smile came on her

face. She realized how tough it was for John to say that. And she appreciated that.

"Thank you, John, " Jean said sincerely. "But don't worry. I won't be easily overwhelmed. And I will try

my best not to get affected by these difficulties."

"Jean, you should remember that everyone who knows you well will trust and support you. You are not

alone in this. And no one doubts you." John smiled and encouraged her. "Whatever rumors are

spreading outside, don't let them deteriorate you and just try to keep taking a good rest. After all, this

body is your own. You should love it. And you should take good care of it."

Jean nodded in agreement when she heard this. Now, she knew that whatever John was saying was

right. And she had to follow all those things in order to become healthy. "That's right! Now I deeply

realize that taking good care of myself is the most important thing for me. And I should take it

seriously."

"By the way, when I returned to the company, I called Mr. Qi to inform him that you have fainted." John

mentioned it as soon as Jean had finished speaking. As he spoke, he scanned her face and studied

her expression. He wanted to clear it all out. It was troubling him to keep it by himself.
