After Being Cheating

Chapter 31 Han's Family is a Military Family

Ella took her daughter's hand into hers, and said, "Jane, I' not forcing you in any way. If you really don't

want to be with Daniel, then don't. I just read his comment in your Weibo profile. Well, it seems that

Daniel doesn't hate you after all. He just doesn't... know how to express himself."

Daniel was just as cold as his father, in both personality and expressiveness. They were, genetically

speaking, nearly 90% alike.

When she heard that Daniel didn't hate her after all, Janet's face suddenly flushed red. What was

wrong with her? Unless...

"I know, mom, " replied Janet.

Ella talked with her daughter for a while longer and then went back to her bedroom.

"Have you talked to her?" Samuel hugged his wife.

Ella nodded: "I don't think Jane hates Daniel. On the contrary, I think she really likes him."

She could tell by the fact that Janet's face had turned red when she spoke to her about Daniel.

"You're to blame for all of this. Why do you still insist that the two be together? Daniel is just like Harry,

and you know very well how Lola suffered because of him!" He wouldn't let his little girl suffer in any

way. If she were to find the one she really loved, he wouldn't have cared if he was either rich or poor.

When Samuel was done talking, Ella remained silent. She pushed his arm away and turned her back to

him.

After all these years of living together, he knew what would happen if he disagreed, and so Samuel

sighed, and said: "I am sorry, dear. Let's make it happen then!"

He hugged Ella again and coaxed her.

"I'm not saying that the two must be together. Just think, wouldn't it be better to marry our Jane to

someone that lives nearby?" asked Ella. Leroy Manor was nearby, but Daniel's mansion here was even

nearer.

"Okay, okay, you're right. We'll marry her to someone that lives nearby, and if Daniel ever dares to bully

her, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."

"That's what I said. They could give it a try, and if it won't work I'm not going to push them to do it." Ella

had felt wronged and now looked at her husband. Samuel laughed, and thought that although she was

almost 50, she still acted like a child.

Samuel kissed her, and said, "Sleep well. We'll have to choose first a convenient wedding date for

Jerry and Sally."

"Okay."

At the SL Group

A girl in a white short coat, navy blue shirt, jeans and canvas shoes, and who was carrying her

backpack, walked through the company's gates.

She swiped her phone and looked at Kate's live report and saw that Kate speaking in an interview:

"Miss Song, are you really CEO Si's girlfriend?"

"Miss Song, when did you and CEO Si first start dating?"

"Greeting Miss Song, according to someone, you once slept in CEO Si's villa. Is that true?"

...

Upon hearing the interviewer's questions, Kate wasn't nervous at all, but on the contrary, she acted

properly, and said, "Thank you for your attention. We are fine now, and if there will be any other good

news, I will inform all of you immediately. Thank you."

She didn't admit anything, but she also didn't deny, which made people question what was happening

even more.

Kate was heading towards the company when the reporters assaulted her with their questions. She

didn't say goodbye to them until she arrived the main entrance of the building.

Janet was soon bored and closed the live report. Just when she locked her phone, she suddenly heard

some commotion near her: "Look! Mr. Shao's daughter, Janet! Hurry!"

Within a minute, Janet was surrounded from all sides by dozens of media officials, which were a lot

more than Kate initially had around her.

She had been just looking looking at Kate's live report, and now all of a sudden it was happening to

her. Janet's first action was to be flabbergasted.

She failed to understand what is going on at once.

In the past decade and also in her adulthood, Samuel had protected Janet flawlessly. Samuel had

taken care over the years to never reveal Jane's straight out to the public. Even when she went to

school abroad, in America, the fact that she was his daughter was still hidden.

"Miss Shao, Mr. Si commented your Weibo last night. Is it true that you are his fiancee?"

"Someone said that you are the fiancee of Boss Si, and this was confirmed by his own mother, Mrs.

Lola. Is this true?"

"Miss Shao, your father and brother are famous layers, and your mother was a popular actress. As

their relative, what do you think you will end up?"

"Miss Shao, you are now working in the SL Group. Are you competing with Miss Kate, and if so, does

the prize consist of marrying CEO Si?"

...

Each question was sharper than the last one. Janet had never faced this situation before in her life, an

now her heart beat rapidly and her face turned white when she saw herself surrounded by dozens of

microphones and cameras.

"I... I am not." Janet shook her head innocently and, with her mind now turning blank, she didn't have a

single clue of what to say next.

The interviewers didn't intend on letting the fresh grad go off so easily, and more questions assaulted

her.

"Miss Shao, when you were studying in America, you majored in baking. General Han's grandson, Bill,

was also in the college as you were. When you graduated, he proposed to you in an eccentric manner.

Why didn't you say yes to him?"

"Could you please tell us of your relationship status with Bill?"

"Will you marry to Si's family or Han's family?"

"Or, is Miss Shao dating two men at the same time for the fullest advantages?"

...

This was out of the line, and Janet's face had now completely turned pale. She took a deep breath, and

answered, "I am not! Do not start a rumor about this! We are just friends, that's all! Han's family is a

military family. Do not tarnish their reputation!"

These interviewers realized that they indeed have asked the wrong question and changed the subject

at once: "What about Boss Si? You're his special assistant. Your relationship must go a lot deeper than

this."

"We heard that your brother, Mr. Jerry Shao, will marry Sally Si. Is that true?"

All the questions were shot like bullets, Janet was unable to dodge them. What could she do?

Eventually, she said, "Please move out of the way, I will be late. If you keep asking, I will sue you for

prying in my own privacy."

Alas, Janet was too young to handle the pressures of the media. Her threat didn't work.

"Miss Shao, we just want to know who Mr. Si's girlfriend is, you or Miss Song? Or you both?"

...

Not that far away, a man was watching the girl being surrounded by the reporters. But no one, except

him, had noticed her pale face and the confusion leaking out of her eyes.
