Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

Chapter 168 - Zhao Liying's Plans To Bring Yang Zi Down

"I thought you went to see Yifeng. Shouldn't you be happy instead of being in a fit of rage?" The lady dressed in black asked, abandoning what she was doing to attend to her visitor. Her appearance showed that she was the same age as the furious lady.

"I have never been insulted in my twenty-four years of existence like I did today. How could that impudent b*tch treat me, Zhao Liying, in such a downgrading manner," the lady ranted in annoyance? She still couldn't accept the exchange of words she and the Secretary had.

Wherever she went to, people always treated her with utmost respect because of her identity. Nobody dared belittle her or treat her ill-mannerly for fear of what will become of them or their family, so how dare a mere secretary to challenge her? 

She just could not accept it.

"Who is this insolent b*tch you are referring to? Is it Yifeng's bratty cousin that pissed you off?" The lady asked standing up to get her guest a glass of cold water.

"I wouldn't have been this pissed if it was her," the lady remarked, still looking very upset.

"If she is not the one then who is gutsy enough in this entire Keelung country to insult you?" The lady asked, handing her the glass of water. She sat down opposite her guest afterwards. Everyone in Yifeng's company knew Zhao Liying's relationship with their boss. They would not dare get on her nerves so she did not know who was so gutsy to insult her friend. Except...

"Who else if not Feng's new Secretary?" She exclaimed, pissed. She wished the person sitting opposite her was the Secretary, then she would have slapped her silly for daring to challenge her.

"Oh...," the lady exclaimed, not looking surprised at all. Since the moment Zhao Liying confirmed that Wen Min wasn't the cause of her rage, she had already guessed who the person was.

"Pei Yan, you know her?" Zhao Liying asked her best friend Pei Yan. She and Pei Yan were both lawyers; the difference between their professions was that Zhao Liying works as a lawyer in a company while Pei Yan is a criminal lawyer, but her clients are always wealthy heirs, heiress, business executives and women.

"Although I haven't confronted her before, I have seen her and Yifeng twice outside the office," Pei Yan relayed carefreely.

"You know that ill-mannered lady. Tell me more about her. I want to know who is backing her for her to get the audacity to insult, I, Zhao Liying," Zhao Liying said proudly. Pei Yan has known for a while now about Yifeng and Yang Zi's relationship. She has planned to inform her best friend about this recent development, but Mrs Zhao has prohibited her from uttering a word about Yifeng's relationship to Zhao Liying. 

"Instead of ill-mannered, everyone thinks she is an angel. Nobody in Keelung Country who doesn't know Yang Zi. An exception is those who are living in the countryside or those who are mentally ill or deaf. She is the first and the only person to ever receive the Excellence award from the President himself. Three years ago, after the success of the projects she underwent, everyone in Keelung country sang her praises," Pei Yan narrated.

Just to be useful to her best friend, she had made sure she conducted a background check on Yang Zi. After the result of the information came out, she was so shocked when she realised that she knew who she was.

"The President awarded her with a golden award?" Zhao Liying asked suspiciously. "I feel like I have heard this information before but I can't pinpoint who she is."

"Of course we both know her. She is the first lady you have ever been envious of. Don't you recall how much you wished you were her when we watched the event the President presented the award to her four years ago?" Pei Yan asked curiously.

"She is the one? That is impossible," Zhao Liying replied in disbelief. She still recalled her dad scolded her back then for not being the one to receive such an honourable award. Back then, she had also wished she was in her shoes. Even though she envied her, she also hated her for being in the limelight.

"Yes, it is possible," Pei Yan told her the reality she was trying to escape from.

"No matter who she is, she doesn't have the damn right to challenge me in my fiance's office. She is just a mere secretary," Zhao Liying said with a frown visible on her face.

"I will say you are wrong about her being a mere secretary. Ten months ago it was broadcasted in the news that Chairman Li scouted her for her Grandson, so I am sure Chairman Li holds her in high esteem that is why he went through the hassle of scouting her. I don't think she is a mere Secretary," Pei Yan said staring at her friend's face.

Zhao Liying always thought she is the best in the world since no lady has ever confronted her. Pei Yan can understand why she is acting like a wounded lion after encountering the lady everyone thinks is an angel.

"What is so good about her that everyone likes her?" Zhao Liying blurted. She would never in a million years admit that there is a lady better than her.

"Although I don't like her, I admit that she is damn good. Way better than the both of us. I guess that is one reason Yifeng doesn't want her to leave his side," Pei Yan said seriously.

"Why do you say that she is good? Do you mean that she is better than me?" Zhao Liying spat, throwing a piercing glare at her.

"She is a born genius, unlike us. Do you know Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and other prestigious universities in the world scouted Yifeng's Secretary to their respective universities after her entrance exam? She is a world-renowned genius. She is someone to reckon with with respect," Pei Yan unknowingly praised Yang Zi to the annoyance of Zhao Liying.

"Even before she graduated four years ago, many prominent companies worldwide had scouted her for big positions in their company, but she declined them all. Those who knew her were in a state of shock when a genius like her became a mere Secretary. Even Yifeng wanted to give her the position of an Advisor in the company, but she rejected his offer. She said she preferred being his Secretary," Pei Yan added.

"Whose friend are you? Hers or mine?" Zhao Liying who couldn't handle her friend praising the stupid Secretary flared up in a rage again.

"I am your friend. I am just telling you this to enlighten you about who you are going up against this time around," Pei Yan quickly defended herself. The one thing she hated doing is making Zhao Liying upset. Zhao Liying wouldn't spare her even though she is her friend.

"Why will I be confronting her when Yifeng does not like her? I just wanted to know more about her background so I will know how to go about avenging myself for the way she addressed me," Zhao Liying thought grinning wickedly. She wouldn't have rejoiced just yet if she knew that Yifeng is in love with the lady she disliked.

"This is bad....," Pei Yan blurted out. She covered her lips with her hands when she realised that she just said those words aloud.

"Your expression shows you are hiding something from me so spill it now," Zhao Liying ordered sternly but Pei Yan refused to utter a word. She was afraid her psychopath friend might hit her head with the glass cup she was holding in a feat of rage.

"Stop being so secretive and tell me what is going on if you don't want to get hurt," Zhao Liying commanded. "Ok, I promise I won't take out my anger on you so say it now before I take back my words," Zhao Liying ordered yet again glaring daggers at her friend. 

"Our informant in the company says that it seems like Yifeng is in a relationship with her. Rumours had it they are deeply in love. It looks like nobody is against their relationship," Pei Yan said timidly.

She stood up and walked a few distances away from where Zhao Liying was sitting down. The next thing she heard was the shattering sound of glass. She was so happy that she stood up earlier or else she would have been hit by the glass Zhao Liying threw since Zhao Liying threw the glass exactly to the direction she was sitting down in earlier.

"Liying, calm down Ok? Yifeng hasn't formally introduced her to everyone as his woman so there is still time for you to reclaim your man. Getting angry will solve nothing, so relax," Pei Yan coaxed. She dare not walk closer to her out of fear of what she might do.

"How dare that sl*ut seduce my beloved Feng? He is mine. Nobody can snatch him away from me," Zhao Liying shouted angrily, scaring Pei Yan the more. Zhao Liying is her friend, but she can never get used to her violent side.

"Yes, he is yours," Pei Yan quickly agreed.

"Just give me a week and I will show her place. I will show her I am the only one who deserves to stand beside him and not her," Zhao Liying said, biting her lower lips as she folded her right hands into a tight fist. She bit her lips until they bled.

"You won't be able to handle her in a week. She is not only smart but also very careful, a week is too short to deal with her," Pei Yan advised, taking slow steps towards her former position on the couch.

"A week isn't too short to handle her. I just need to disgrace her publicly, and then the netizens will do the remaining work for me. I can also resort to threats or blackmail if public disgrace doesn't work," Zhao Liying said, smiling menacingly.
