Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 22: Meeting The Scum And His Mistress

After the capital was settled, Janessa went to the Qiu Group.

This time, no one stopped her at the door.

Without a hitch, she entered the meeting room, where the shareholders were already seated around the large boardroom table waiting for her.

"Miss Qiu, we are all busy people.How could you make us wait for half an hour?"

"That's right.You are really not as competent as your father was."

Sitting near the door, Janessa looked at the complaining shareholders with a poker face and declared loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I can guarantee you that your interests will not be affected.So what if you had to wait for me for half an hour?"

After all, the loyalty of these shareholders would lie on the side that brought them the most profit.

"I don't want to say anything else today.Last night, the Lu Group suddenly withdrew their investment, and the company’s five projects, which have already started, ran the risk of stagnating.It was your esteemed CEO, Aydin Qiu, who begged me to find a way to save the company.I happen to have the capability to do so.You really should know beforehand whether the people you elect into position knows how to run a company."

Janessa saw Aydin's livid face from the corner of her eye, and the slight smile on her face widened.

He never had that ability in the first place, and Janessa made him look like an incompetent fool.

Janessa looked around, wondering if these people were actually as calm inside as they seemed.

"I don't want the position of CEO today, but please remember who saved the company on this day."

Aydin's anger warred with humiliation.

Janessa came here today so she could show the shareholders what she was capable of.

As for assuming the CEO position, the timing wasn't right; for now, she needed to make the shareholders believe her.

As long as Aydin kept screwing up in the future and she kept making up for it, she would have plenty of opportunities to take back the CEO position from her uncle. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

After solving the company's problem, Janessa returned to the apartment with a light heart.

Maybe I'll take a nap.’ After all, she had been too busy these days to catch a good night's sleep.

As soon as she entered the house, she was startled by the sight of a woman lying on her bed.

"Alana Shen? What are you doing here?"

Janessa had to play tug of war with the person underneath the quilt before she recognized her.

Then, she angrily pulled up the woman who suddenly disappeared without a trace for half a year.

Alana Shen's relatives and friends nearly went mad with anxiety while looking all over for her.

Every day for the last six months, her phone was constantly bombarded with calls from Alana's mother.

Later, she heard that her family received an email telling them that Alana was fine.

"Janessa, don't be angry.I just get off the plane, and I've only been sleeping for ten minutes.Give me half an hour, and I will explain to you where I have been all this time.I will tell you everything down to the last detail, even my sleeping time and my nightclothes.Okay?"

Alana put her palms together and begged for mercy.

After a long time of pleading, Janessa gave her a slight nod, so she fell back to the bed with her eyes closed.

She was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

Janessa was planning on catching up on her sleep, as well, so she drifted off as soon as she lay beside Alana.

By the time the two of them woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Janessa was awakened by her grumbling stomach.

She shook Alana awake, and then they tidied up and went to a restaurant for dinner.

The two attacked their meals as if they hadn't eaten for days.

When they were almost finished with dinner, Janessa put down her chopsticks and looked at the other woman with a serious expression.

"Tell me the truth what have you been doing in the last six months?"

Alana dapped at her mouth with a tissue and replied with a helpless sigh, I went away to chase after a lover, of course.

It was a pity that our love didn't end well.

He was like a bowing breeze I couldn't catch up with him.

Alana was Gordon Shen's sister.

They had been playmates and best friends since they were children.

Alana was so liberated when it came to love that she could drop everything at a moment's notice to chase a man she had been crushing on for only days.

Then, she would immediately dump him once she found out that she didn't like him anymore.

She usually was fine until she found her next target then, the cycle would begin anew.

In her words, every relationship she had was true love; only her true love lasted for just a short period of time.

"You chased him for half a year.Wow, you were so persistent this time around."Alana Shen smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, there were three..."Janessa shook her head helplessly.

Her wish was for Alana to find the one who could stop her.

After that, they both decided to change the topic.Janessa told Alana what had happened between her and Rayan.

After listening to her story, Alana looked regretful.

"It doesn't matter you did the right thing when you gave up on such a scum.Why don't you consider my brother?"

She held up her hand and began counting using her fingers.

"He is so good to you.Faithful.Talented.Handsome."

She looked up at Janessa and asked with a twinkle in her eyes, "What do you think of him?"

Janessa sent Alana a weak smile and was about to rely when they heard a commotion at the entrance.

Someone walked into the restaurant.

She instantly recognized the male protagonist, who was none other than her husband.

Of course, he was accompanied by Gracie.

Janessa sat on the far side of the restaurant.

She didn't expect the couple to head their way.

There was an awkward moment between her and the couple when the newcomers drew close to where she and Alana were seated.

Janessa ignored the two of them and continued to eat.

Seeing the wide smile on Janessa's face, Gracie tugged Rayan close and whispered, "She looks happy.Let's go."

Janessa showed no reaction to their closeness, which left Gracie frustrated.

She had already done a lot of things, but she had yet to get under Janessa's skin.

"No, let's just order."

Janessa's appetite left her.

Nothing good ever happened whenever she saw this asshole.

She went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Her heart almost leapt out of her chest in fright when she saw a man's reflection in the mirror.

"Who in the world..."

Janessa whirled around to find Rayan standing at the door of the ladies’ room, his face livid.

A woman who was about to enter the ladies' room screamed in fright when she saw him and left.

Rayan stepped in and locked the door.

"It's me.You must be in a celebrating mood.Has the problem with Qiu Group's capital been settled?"

She replied in a cold voice, "That's none of your business.You can't destroy the Qiu Group anymore.Are you mad about it?"

Rayan must have approached her so he could make fun of her.

In the end, he was still hoping for her to initiate the divorce proceedings.

It was normal for him to do such a thing.

"Janessa, it's not too late for you to say yes now,"he commented in a persuasive voice.

If she agreed to the divorce, he could still invest in her company.

It was such a simple thing; he couldn't understand why she was being so troublesome about it.

The corners of Janessa's mouth twitched.

She didn't want to see him at all.

"Mr.Lu, have you changed your orientation these days? Or is entering the ladies’ room a hobby of yours?"

"Janessa, the opportunity is in your hands.Think it over."

"Get out! I don't need your fake kindness.I'm telling you, you can never divorce me!"

‘Only I can divorce you.’ Janessa continued in her head.He would find out sooner or later.Rayan's sharp eyes froze over, but the woman before him knew no fear.

"I'll be waiting for the good news from the Qiu Group!"

After a mocking salute, Rayan left the bathroom.

Alana rushed past inside the ladies' room and threw her arms around Janessa, crying out, "I was scared to death! I thought Rayan Lu would hit you or something! I was ready to rush in with weapons to help you out."

She held up her chopsticks.Janessa heaved a heavy sigh and tried to smile at Alana.

"I'm fine.Let's go back."

Janessa didn't want to mention what had happened just now.

So, Rayan was unaware that the Qiu Group had acquired a working capital.

This way, she could divorce Rayan with the conditions favoring her.
