Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 773: Chapter 747: Living in Lies

Hao Jian deeply regretted getting involved with Ye Chen, this big shot, and now he’s even lost his six-figure salary job.

But that’s not the worst of it; what made him even more frustrated was what his girlfriend Chen Jiajia said next.

“Hao Jian, thank you for taking care of me during this time, I’ve finally realized that Ye Chen is the one I love. Let’s break up.” Chen Jiajia said to Hao Jian with a smile.

So, he was just a backup all along.

Chen Jiajia had just heard that Ye Chen was managing finances with a billion yuan, clearly indicating that he was a tycoon.

Hao Jian was dumbfounded after hearing this; he never imagined that Chen Jiajia could change her face so quickly.

She had just been looking down on Ye Chen, and now she’s suddenly chasing after him instead.

Chen Jiajia looked at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, I actually love you. The reason I didn’t get together with you is so you would work harder.”

She felt particularly regretful in her heart; if she had known Ye Chen was so wealthy, she would have done anything to get him when she was in college.

Ye Chen listened to the scheming girl’s words in front of him, thinking to himself, it seems I’ve given you some face.

“Chen Jiajia, let me make it clear. It was me who didn’t want to be with you back then, okay?” Ye Chen said, unable to bear it any longer, and revealed the truth.

Chen Jiajia didn’t expect Ye Chen to say the truth right in front of everyone, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian was even more devastated, as he never imagined he had been deceived by Chen Jiajia.

During college, all the girls really liked Ye Chen.

But Chen Jiajia became his girlfriend, which left him puzzled.

Chen Jiajia had always claimed she liked him since college, but it turns out it was all a lie.

Now he knew that Chen Jiajia had been rejected by Ye Chen, so she settled for him, mainly eyeing his money.

Disregarding status and occasion, Hao Jian hysterically said, “Chen Jiajia, didn’t you say that the one you liked was me, and you were the one who dumped Ye Chen?”

“I… I…” Chen Jiajia stammered.

She really didn’t know how to explain herself now.

“You bitch, you dared to deceive me all along, and I even treated you like a treasure.” Hao Jian angrily raised his hand to slap Chen Jiajia.

Just when he was five centimeters away from Chen Jiajia’s face, Hao Jian felt his wrist being gripped by someone.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t free it.

“Ye Chen, let go of me. This is between me and this bitch, it doesn’t concern you.” Hao Jian shouted in pain, sweating profusely.

“You’re right, this is between you two, but I can’t stand men hitting women.” Ye Chen said coldly.

Saying this, he let go and slapped Hao Jian across the face.

Due to the force of the slap, Hao Jian staggered and plopped down on the floor.

Seeing the mocking expressions of the people around him, Hao Jian’s face turned as red as a beetroot.

“Thank you, Ye Chen.” Chen Jiajia said gratefully.

Seeing Ye Chen actually stepped up for her and slapped Hao Jian, a warm feeling flashed through Chen Jiajia’s heart.

Then, her pretty face turned red with shyness and she said, “Ye Chen, can I be your girlfriend?”

“I’m sorry if my actions just now made you misunderstand something, I apologize. I just can’t stand men hitting women. Besides, I already have someone I deeply love.” Ye Chen said without even glancing at Chen Jiajia, instead, with deep affection, he hugged Su Wanyi tightly.

Su Wanyi’s face turned red, “You rascal, being so cheesy in public.”

Saying this, she fiercely pinched Ye Chen’s waist.

Ye Chen winced in pain, pulling Su Wanyi closer.

This made Su Wanyi’s face even redder, and with Ye Chen’s great strength, she couldn’t break free.

“It’s okay, I can be your lover.” Chen Jiajia said persistently.

Ye Chen coldly said, “You’re not qualified.” Saying this, he took Su Wanyi and walked out of the café.

Seeing Ye Chen leaving, Chen Jiajia hurriedly chased after him.

“Ye Chen, stop, wait for me.” Chen Jiajia completely ignored her image.

Seeing that Chen Jiajia was willing to be merely Ye Chen’s lover, he was utterly consumed with jealousy.

He suddenly felt his life was such a failure; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t catch up to Ye Chen.

Now even his six-figure salaried job was gone, and his girlfriend had run off with someone else.

Just earlier, Wang Yang, who was angry at Hao Jian, now looked at him with sympathy.

Wang Yang consoled, “Hao Jian, she’s just a gold digger. Let her go if she’s leaving.”

Seeing Hao Jian remain silent, he added, “Without going through storms, how can you see the rainbow? Nobody succeeds easily without effort.”

Hearing this sentence, Hao Jian felt it sounded very familiar, as if it was a song.

Thoughts were running wildly through his mind, thinking that it’s not fair for someone to take joy in others’ misery.

What success was there for him to boast about? Because of his arrogance, he lost his job.

Not only that, but also his girlfriend eloped with someone else.

What storms had he faced? It was more like a hurricane.

Hao Jian knew he would never see the rainbow again; his life would be bleak from here on out.

Though he regretted it in his heart, what could he do? This was what it meant to reap what you sow.

After comforting Hao Jian a bit more, Wang Yang left, leaving Hao Jian, deeply devastated.

People around all cast him mocking looks, and some even started gossiping.

“Did you see? This is what happens when you pretend to be something you’re not.”

“There are always people better than you out there, you thought you were tough, but there are many tougher than you.”

“Always remain humble, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.”

Hearing the murmurs, Hao Jian’s face twisted in anger as he shouted, “All of you, shut up! What right do you have to judge me?”

After being hit repeatedly with setbacks, Hao Jian had lost his rationality.

After he said this, five or six young men walked over to him.

“You dare give us orders? You’ve got a death wish.” One of them, Huang Mao, said.

“What do you… what do you want to do?” Hao Jian looked at the people in front of him with terror.

Another with a buzzcut chuckled, “Nothing much, let’s have a chat outside.”

Saying this, he signaled to his companions to take action.

“I don’t want to go, let me go.” Being dragged by the young men, Hao Jian felt a little scared.

But there was no way he could break free alone and was just taken out of the café.

However, nobody around stepped in to stop it, as no one wanted to cause trouble.

The group took Hao Jian to a deserted alley, then stopped.

“What do you guys want?” Hao Jian asked trembling.
