Chapter 49 – Throwing her out
As soon as the security guards heard Grandpa Jun call out, they immediately ran over, Grandpa Jun then, pointed his finger in Mia’s direction, “Take this woman away from me immediately, and don’t allow her to set foot in the company in the future!”
After glancing across at the blushing Mia, the guards looked at each other and immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mia’s arms.
When the security guards got involved, a lot of people’s eyes were drawn to the venue, including Liam Jun, who was having a chat with the guests.
Liam Jun looked suspiciously at the somewhat chaotic corner, and when he saw the figure and face of the woman caught by the security guards, his eyes instantly flooded with excitement and anger, and he casually put the champagne he was holding in his hand and strutted towards the corner that had attracted no small amount of attention.
Just as the security guards were about to forcefully take Mia away, a strong, powerful arm coldly tapped them on the shoulder and said in a cold voice, “Put her down!”
Mia looked at the tall figure in front of her and her eyes went wide, “Liam Jun …”
Liam Jun turned around and gave her a big smile, his eyes glowing in the light, “Hi, long time no see.”
He’s been looking for Mia for a long time, and though he knows peace has returned to her life, he’s still afraid to rush to see her, but seeing her at Asher’s engagement launch wouldn’t be a bad chance to start over.
Having said hello, Liam Jun’s face quickly shifted, his cold eyes fixed on the two security guards in front of him, “Try it if you dare.”
The two guards took two difficult steps backwards, and then turned their heads to look at Grandpa Jun, left and right.
Grandpa Jun looked icily at his grandson who had stepped forward, his face was ironic and his voice was even colder and scarier, “Liam Jun, are you planning to go against grandpa?”
Facing Grandpa’s icy glare, Liam Jun’s brow tightened deeply, his eyes quickly sweeping over the puzzled looks cast by the crowd, and he sighed helplessly, “Grandpa, if there’s anything we can do, let’s find a place where we can talk.”
He’s not so much worried about Asher’s engagement press conference being disrupted as he is about adding to Mia’s already overwhelmed state with all the media attention.
Grandpa Jun’s icy face was covered in a layer of frost as he said stubbornly, “I’d like to see if she’ll still be so humiliated in front of so many people!”
Mia instantly turned pale, and it seemed that Grandpa Jun had already made his plans and had no qualms at all about the reporters present. Seeing this scenario, the reporters immediately turned their cameras on Mia, whispering and chattering with disdain on their faces.
Not far away, Wang Yuxin shielded Mia and coldly looked at Grandpa Jun and said, “A group of you guys bullying a woman, it’s shameless!”
All the cameras were immediately directed at Wang Yuxin, and even Liam Jun, who was always unruly, cast an appreciative glance at Wang Yuxin.
“What is the status of your Jun family in this city, and what would be the repercussions if a family scandal were to occur, this old man, I think you know that, right? If you don’t mind disgracing the Jun family, we do not mind discussing things here.” Wang Yuxin’s pair of bland eyes stared intently at Grandpa Jun.
As far as she knew, these magnificent families were most concerned about their image in the public eye.
Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian looked at the strange woman standing on Mia’s side with suspicion, and the bottom of her eyes even showed admiration, daring to talk to Grandpa Jun like this, I’m afraid there are not many women, right?
Grandpa Jun grimaced, his icy eyes looked askance at Mia behind Liam Jun, and he turned indignantly, “To the parlor then!”
A small smile appeared under Liam Jun’s eyes and twisting his head to see a worried Mia, he gently wrapped his arms around her waist, sending his warmth and strength to her.
Wang Yuxin coldly looked at Grandpa Jun’s back and twisted her head to encourage Mia, “Mia , with me here, you don’t have to be afraid! I would like to see what they dare to do to you.”
Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian looked at each other helplessly and had to follow Grandpa Jun into the parlor. Once everyone was in the parlor, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very dull.
A few people sat in the silent parlor, the dullness almost suffocating.
Just then, Riina pushed in the door in her exquisite little dress, and after sweeping a glance at Mia across the room, she gave Grandpa Jun a big smile, “Grandpa, why aren’t you out yet, we’re all waiting for you!”
Grandpa Jun smiled and patted the back of Riina’s hand gently, “Grandpa has some business to attend to, it will be ready in a moment, don’t worry, it won’t affect your engagement to Asher.”
Riina’s smiling eyes flashed with a venomous glint when she saw Mia, who she hadn’t expected to actually come to their press conference.
“Miss Luo, are you here to congratulate me and Asher on our engagement?” Riina approached Mia with a kind smile.
Mia swept her lightly, her tone full of mockery, “Isn’t my presence here exactly what you, Miss Lai, would have wanted, so why pretend like you don’t know anything about it?”
Seeing Mia’s indifferent look, Riina’s face sank, but quickly regained a full smile, “It seems Miss Luo does have extraordinary measure, since Miss Luo is here, then I can’t be slack, welcome Miss Luo to witness!”
“Miss Lai, you baba gave Mia from the invitation card, provoked Mia to come to attend, and now you’re pretending to be innocent, I simply admire your acting skills. I wonder, does Asher know, what you really are?” Wang Yuxin coolly sarcastically snapped at Lina.
“You …” Riina’s face was white and red for a while, very ugly, but she couldn’t find the words to retort. Seeing Liam Jun’s eyes on the side watching a good show again, she was even more furious.
“Me? What’s wrong with me? I’m just telling the truth.” Wang Yuxin crossed her legs, and her cool voice continued to exert her poisonous power, “You can’t tether a man’s heart yourself, and you have to rely on so many people to help you, and you have the nerve to let us watch! I really don’t know where exactly your courage comes from, I simply admire you to the core!”
The woman’s poisonous tongue is really not to be underestimated, even rivals like Li Na are speechless by her, so it is clear that this poisonous tongue is very powerful.
“That’s enough!” Grandpa Jun’s icy voice came from across the room, his cold eyes kept hovering between Mia and Wang Yuxin, “A woman who doesn’t know the sky is high, how dare you talk nonsense in front of me, you really don’t know any rules at all. Now I don’t care what purpose you have, disappear from my sight immediately, otherwise, I don’t mind turning my previous words into reality.”
The hellish look pierced deep into Mia’s heart.
At those words, Mia’s face went white and her hands on her knees couldn’t help but clench into fists, but she still looked up, her cold eyes looking at Grandpa Jun across the room as she tried to calm herself, “Grandpa Jun, I really only came over here today to deaden my own heart. Since Grandpa Jun has to assume I have a personal agenda, I might as well talk about my personal agenda.”
Liam Jun and Wang Yuxin both withdrew their mocking smiles and looked worriedly at Mia, who was forcing herself to be firm, especially Wang Yuxin, who knew what Mia was talking about and was surprisingly nervous.
Grandpa Jun’s face changed and his cold eyes instantly became bitterly cold, “You want to threaten me with the Jun family’s reputation?”
Mia gritted her teeth and fought back the sickness that churned in her stomach as her eyes looked firmly at Grandpa, “No, I just want to fix things.”
Since Grandpa Jun had pushed her to this point, this was something she had to talk to Asher about. Was it her fault alone that it had come to this point?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Why does she have to suffer Grandpa Jun’s every step when it’s not her fault alone?
Grandpa’s sharp eyes instantly attacked Mia, “Problems? I don’t think there’s any problem between you two, now that you’ve left the Jun family, then you don’t have anything to do with us at all, why are you still showing up here? Is it for the money? Or something else? It seems that you are a greedy woman, didn’t Asher already give you a sum of money?”
Hearing Grandpa’s words, Mia’s face grew paler and paler, she closed her eyes trembling and finally opened them slowly, “You can say whatever you want, but only today, I must see Asher!”
Lena gave Mia a stern look and twisted her head to pout at Grandpa Jun, “Grandpa, look at her, look at her, you’re all present and she’s being so arrogant.”
Seeing Leena’s displeasure, Grandpa Jun’s attitude hardened, “No way! I won’t let a woman like you see Asher again!”
“What kind of attitude is that? Doesn’t your grandson have to bear the consequences when he does something wrong?” Seeing Grandpa Jun’s poor attitude, Wang Yuxin completely exploded, her tone very intense.
Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Lily hurriedly said to Grandpa, “Dad, just let Miss Luo meet Asher, it won’t be good for us if it gets big …”
“You shut up, I’m never going to let her see Asher!” Giving Lily a cold look, Grandpa Jun’s grim eyes glanced over to Mia’s glowing white face.
“Aunty, if you let her see Asher, maybe she can do something!” Rina said slightly disgruntled, relying on Grandpa Jun’s presence.
Liam Jun stood in front of Grandpa Jun with his arms clasped and said coldly, “Grandpa, she just wants to meet my old brother, you are so nervous, aren’t you …”
Stopping Liam Jun from saying more, Mia took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the sofa, a miserable smile on her face, and said to Liam Jun and Jun Haotian and his wife, “Anyway, thank you all for today, and since the old man won’t let me see you, let’s pretend that I didn’t come today.”
