Chapter 148 – Lena’s Stirring
This is one of Riina’s cards, her family business is very powerful and according to Asher’s current state, turning to her is the best option, Riina has a 9 out of 10 chance that she will get Asher back.
This time, however, Rina was wildly wrong in her expectations again, and Asher said wickedly, “You might as well worry about your own family business, and don’t even think about helping me; I said I’d be an enemy to your father, and that’s not for you to take for granted!”
Riina laughed loudly and pointed at Asher mockingly, “Don’t think I don’t know that you are now at the end of your rope, how could my father fail when he joined hands with several other consortia to suppress you? You should still obey me obediently, when the time comes, you will definitely not be treated badly!”
Riina’s laughter was harsh and drew many stares from passersby, but Riina, who had grown up in the glare of the crowd, wasn’t afraid of that at all; it was Asher, who was a little ashamed of himself for standing with such a woman.
“Riina, don’t be so bold, I’m not going to bother talking to you, get out of my way.” Riina squared up in front of him and Asher raised his hand and tried to fling Riina aside.
Lena stopped laughing and dodged Asher’s hand reaching for her, hooking her lips to get out of the way, “Go ahead and pass, I’ll see how that vixen Mia will dare to seduce you with me around!”
Asher had the urge to slap Lena in the face again, but he held back in good grace, and just snapped back viciously, “You call Mia a vixen, then what are you yourself? You’re a bitch, aren’t you?”
Riina’s heart stung deeply at those words, she was an heiress to a large corporation and the baby held in the palm of her hand in the huge family business, she hadn’t done such a thing as fall back since she was a child, if she didn’t indeed genuinely like Asher, how could she have allowed him to bully her so much.
Thinking about it, Riina’s eyes couldn’t help but redden slightly and her voice took on a bit of a sobbing tone, but it was still delicate and stern, “Asher, how dare you say that about me, what’s so good about that Mia that it’s worth being so obsessed with her!”
Asher mulled over in his mind how Mia’s benefits this jealous blinded woman could see, but he still had to leave no stone unturned to hit Riina, “Mia is prettier than you, her heart is kinder than yours, and most importantly we both love each other, you are the one who ruined it from the middle, where do you think she is better than you? ”
What Lena hated most was Mia’s stunning, crowd-pleasing looks, and she picked up on Mia’s sore spots, “But she’s not noble enough! She’s just a commoner from an orphanage, and we’re both from a family of books, so what makes her right to be with you!”
This is not only a sore point for Mia, but Asher is also often troubled by her family background, and when Lina brought it up, he became even more annoyed with Lina, and his tone became heavier: “Don’t talk nonsense! What’s more, Mia has the same company and status as us, so she’s not good enough for me?”
Asher finished with a silent thought in his mind that Lina’s voice could not be so loud again, there were already quite a few people coming over to this side to watch, the Chinese gossipy nature made them more fascinated by the quarrels between men and women, vaguely, Asher and Lina had been surrounded in a circle.
Lena’s voice however grew more and more plucky, “I’m telling you, a noble is a noble and an orphan is an orphan! She will never be able to compete with us, Asher you better die trying!”
Even with Lina’s grim expression, she still couldn’t damage her elegant and beautiful image, plus Asher was also a rare and handsome man, the girls on the roadside looked at him and squealed silently in their hearts, while the men salivated and stared at Lina’s pretty body, such a spectacular scene naturally drew many people to quickly surround the two of them in a circle.
Asher screamed in his heart and was wondering if he should go back and think long and hard about waiting until the next time to have Nangong secretly ask Mia out to meet him, or if he should use violent means to get rid of Lina first now, when he looked up and realized it was already too late.
He saw that Mia had risen from a bench on the other side of the square and was slowly walking towards it, while the beautiful intoxicating dark eyes were staring over, without a single misplaced eye, apparently having recognized who the two people in the crowd around the cup were.
Asher nudged Riina, gesturing for her to move on, and growled impatiently, “You go back first!”
Naturally, Riina saw Mia coming this way, her smile flirtatious and alluring, not at all reluctant after being shoved by Asher, but all the same, the soles of her feet were as steady as if they’d fallen off a log.
Asher grabbed Riina’s hair and brought it towards the car, the driver in Riina’s car saw got out and seemed to be hesitating to help his master, Riina’s voice was shrill and sharp, “What are you still looking at? Don’t come and help yet!”
The driver, who was tall but seemed to be a bit dumb in the head, heard Lina’s words and immediately ran over, but was too appalled by Asher’s surrounding aura to get his hands on him, he stammered, “Let go, let go of my lady!”
Asher was all a bit amused at this point, but obviously this wasn’t supposed to be a laughing scene at this point, he grabbed Riina and sent her towards that driver, his facepalmed expression looking even colder, “Take your lady back or don’t blame me for being rude!”
Riina’s hair was loosened and she immediately rubbed her scalp, fixing her messed up hair in the process, looks were a very important thing to this woman, especially when Mia was still present, Mia’s looks she couldn’t compete with but could outshine her in terms of dressing.
Mia had already reached the outskirts of the crowd, and the crowd turned around to see such a strikingly beautiful woman all spontaneously moved out of the way as she walked faithfully up to Asher, her pace unhurried, as if she didn’t care about the stares of the people around her or Asher’s blazing gaze.
“I just came over here to tell you to stop wasting your energy, I don’t like you anymore.” Mia felt strange when she saw Riina and Asher pulling on each other over here, she hadn’t planned to come over even though she was in a very excited mood from seeing Asher.
However, when Nangong said that he was going to buy water, but he didn’t return for a long time, this was completely inconsistent with Nangong’s character of putting Mia first in everything, and with a little thought, Mia immediately guessed roughly what was going on, and also thought that Nangong and Asher must have made some kind of deal in private.
She thought it was Nangong Man who betrayed her, but what she didn’t realize was that it was because of Nangong Man’s deeper love, and it wasn’t that Nangong Man was making any kind of deal, it was just that he wanted her to find the happiness that was truly hers.
Once, Nangong Man thought that if he persistently protected Mia and always stood behind her, one day Mia would look back and see him, but after this month of the two of them tormenting each other, Nangong Man had changed his mind.
It’s not that Namgung asks if he thinks it’s useless to keep standing by Mia’s side, but he can’t bear to see Mia’s self-torture anymore, and he wants to choose to set things up instead of just choosing to let go.
“Mia, don’t misunderstand me, I have nothing to do with her, don’t go, Mia!” Nangong asked, seeing Mia turn around and leave after she finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after her, but the crowd was congested, and just now Mia was standing in the outer layer of the crowd, now it was very difficult for him to chase out.
What disturbed him even more was the fact that behind him Riina had also caught up with him, and she tugged at the corner of his sleeve, dragging Asher from coming forward, only to hear the delicate voice behind him shout, “Vixen, you better keep what you said today and never come back to haunt my Asher again!”
The crowd of onlookers, unaware of the truth, were pointing at Asher and Mia’s departing backs, as Mia walked back with a pale face, her pale figure looking as if it would be blown away by a gust of wind.
Asher swung a slap at Leena’s face and made to chase after Mia, but a few hotheads in the crowd pulled him back, indignantly accusing, “You’re going after that vixen when your own girlfriend is here?”
Mia was indeed pretty and soft looking, and while not a vixen looker, Lena had just acted so righteously that almost everyone on the sidelines believed it was a case of cheating husbands, and everyone expressed great displeasure and righteous indignation at Asher’s actions.
Asher struggled a few times, pushing the men over and calling out urgently, “Mia , don’t go, wait for me, I want to talk to you!”
But Mia had walked away, never looking back despite being able to hear him, pulling with other women while coming to woo her, and Mia sneered inside with more than a hollow ache.
There was no such thing as beauty, Mia bristled, not sure if she was mocking Asher’s naivety or her own involuntary heart.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Asher couldn’t drag himself out of the crowd with several struggles, and all that came to his ears was Leena’s voice constantly persuading him, “Asher, can’t you just have a good life with me? I even have your child, can’t you be considerate of our mother and child’s feelings?”
Asher was impatient, by now Riina had been pulled far away from the crowd for fear of the irascible Asher hurting the beautiful girl, hearing Riina say this, the crowd swept her abdomen and grew even more nervous, still a pregnant woman, how dare this man treat him like this.
Riina laughed lightly, “Asher, look at the masses, they are the ones with the brightest eyes, Mia is just a vixen who charmed away your mind, why don’t you come back to me soon and stay with me is the right way!”
