Chapter 848 - Suffering The Consequences Of One’s Own Actions (3)

At this moment, Wen Ruo realized that all the things she had done recently were a waste of time. In Jian Yuncheng's eyes, she was merely a clown jumping from one beam to another.

He had already gotten the evidence from Jian Yiling's hands a long time ago. He already knew that she deliberately revealed the fact that Jian Yiling was Dr. F.S.

However, he didn't say anything. He just watched her attempts to curry favor with him whilst pretending that nothing had happened.

Humiliation, resentment, and many other emotions rushed into Wen Ruo. She wanted to turn around and leave.

However, she couldn't leave.. She had to convince Jian Yuncheng to drop the lawsuit today. Otherwise, everything she had right now would disappear.

Her award-winning glory, her position at XDL, and the company she had established with her mother.

She couldn't lose these things. She worked so hard to get these things.

If all of this got ruined, she might not have a chance to do anything in the future!

At this moment, the office door opened.

Jian Yiling walked in with Zhai Yunsheng.

Previously, Jian Yuncheng told his secretary that Jian Yiling could come into his office at any time. Therefore, his secretary did not notify him.

"Why are you here?" Jian Yuncheng asked. His voice was softer when he spoke to Jian Yiling.

"The matter has already gone to court. Do you really think we wouldn't hear about this?" Zhai Yunsheng replied.

With Zhai Yunsheng's information network, as long as he wanted to know, something like this would definitely reach his ears.

Cai Qinyue took a look at Jian Yiling. It was as though Jian Yiling was her last hope.

She ran towards Jian Yiling and pleaded: "Yiling, your cousin knows that she did the wrong thing. Please be nice and forgive her this time."

After all, Jian Yiling's heart was likely to be softer than Jian Yuncheng. Therefore, it might be more useful to beg her.

Jian Yiling's face was expressionless as she said: "No."

She said that this was not to be repeated.

There was no reason for her to forgive someone who never learned from their mistakes.

Cai Qinyue attempted to argue: "But… But your mother didn't lose anything… Furthermore… She left those designs in the attic…"

"That's her business. However, that does not give you the right to use her designs."

Jian Yiling's tone was calm and even as she replied.

Then, she walked up to Wen Ruo and looked at her with cold and detached eyes.

Wen Ruo's voice shook as she said: "Yiling, can you at least give me a chance? Just give me one last chance."

Before Jian Yiling got the chance to respond, Zhai Yunsheng replied: "Okay, I will give you a chance."

Everyone turned around to look at Zhai Yunsheng.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng asked with a taunting smile on his face: "Do you know how to skip?"

Skip?

Wen Ruo was rather confused.

Why was he asking her about this?

After a pause, she answered Zhai Yunsheng's question: "Yes…"

"Give her a skipping rope. If you manage to skip five thousand times before the landline in Jian Yuncheng's office rings, then he will drop the case. If the count ranges between three thousand and five thousand, I will get rid of one of your arms and legs. And well, if you don't reach three thousand, then you can go home and get ready to be sued."

No one knew when Jian Yuncheng's landline would ring. This was an unknown variable.

Sometimes, it wouldn't ring for the entire day. Other times, it would ring seven to eight times in an hour.

Wen Ruo was shocked when she heard this. She did not know what to do.

Cai Qinyue hurriedly said to Zhai Yunsheng: "Master… Master Sheng… Can we switch to something else? Five… Five thousand jumps are too… Too much!"

"No," Zhai Yunsheng responded. "I will count to three. If you don't want to do it, then you can get lost. One… Two…"
