The CEO's Woman

Chapter 141 - Awake

Jennie just shook her head as she watched Wu Minxia being dragged away by her own father.

Poor little thing. Her father, although rational,but choose the Wu Family's reputation instead of protecting her.

"Well, everyone... I believe it's time for us to continue to the next company." She said before stepping down the stage and taking her seat next to Zhao Chittip.

"That was... unexpected." Zhao Chittip said before patting Jennie's back."You did a good job. I never knew that you were this proficient in the web industry.."

"Thank you. I did not expect that as well." Jennie answered while looking at Old Man Wu who was walking towards the entrance, his shoulders slumped, ready to leave the hall.

This was just the start. Jennie's gaze turned sharp when she thought of what the Wu Family did to her family. Especially what they had done to her grandfather.

The only good thing that had come out of this were the shares that she was able to acquire.

Jennie knew that without the Wu Family's provocating deeds, she would never have had the courage to face the Wu family all by herself.

Nevertheless, this event had given her another lesson in life. Especially in her chosen path.

In the world of business, she could not trust anyone except for her family. The people who chastise you today could curry your favor tomorrow.

This was the reality in the world that she was treading. She could not just skip and dance her way to success. She needed to grow and learn these things the hard way.

Now that Wu Minxia was considered a walking hazard, Jennie needed to double her security and be extra careful.

"Mother... I heard that Bei Ye will accompany me after this event. Is that true?" She asked. Now that her skills were known to the web industry, she needed to double, if not triple, her security.

For Jennie, having a person like Bei Ye to guard her was an additional asset. Just like Wang Bolin.

Moreover, she realized that she could not have just anyone accompany her, especially now with her grandfather still unwell.

For most people, this might sound paranoid, but for someone like Jennie, this was of extreme importance. She would never become like him.

She vowed not to become like him.

Never.

Thinking of that person made Jennie cringe.

How long had it been? Half a year? No... Eight Months.

Did she miss him?

Definitely.

Was she doing something about his death?

No... She was not.

She would rather fulfill her promise to him than pursue his killer.

Sensing Jennie's gloomy mood, Zhao Chittip immediately thought that it was because she was worried about her security.

"Aiyah... this child. Of course! Lisa wanted you to be protected by someone who he would trust with his life. Stop worrying about your security. I will take care of that." Zhao Chittip answered while stroking Jennie's hair. Now that everyone was aware of Jennie's skills, she would make sure to keep her as safe as possible.

After all, she knew that most people in the underworld would want to have someone with Jennie's particular set of skills.

"Aside from Bei Ye, I am planning to assign at least twenty well-trained people to the Wang Estate and another fifteen people that will do anything that you tell them to." She added, trying to comfort her daughter in law.

Jennie nodded before giving Zhao Chittip a smile. "I understand, thank you, mother."

"Child... between families, there is no need for thanks." Zhao Chittip responded before her gaze turned serious. "Just... I will be away after this summit and I don't know when I will see you again. Your grandfather... well since Old Man Wang is still not well, promise me that you will stay safe."

Jennie's gaze immediately softened after she heard Zhao Chittip's words. "I will mom."

This was what it felt like to have a mother, and somehow Jennie missed this feeling.

If her own mother was alive... would she... would she also treat her this way?

Would she be proud of her?

she immediately lowered her gaze while trying to blink away the tears in her eyes.

Yes. She missed her mother.

Oh...she wished she could turn back time and prevent that accident.

...

Meanwhile, in an island somewhere far away from Jennie's current location, a man in his sixties was currently panting.

He tried to compose himself before knocking on the brown mahogany door in front of him.

"Come in." A deep voice was heard before the old man opened the door and bowed to the man sitting behind an office table.

The handsome man was currently looking at his computer and did not pay any heed to the old man who came in panting.

"Speak." He said, impatience laced his voice.

"Master... the mistress... the mistress is awake!"
