Chapter 357: Who Is the Enchantress and Who Is the Weed? (Second Update)
"You could say that!""No wonder Mr. Ji never gets close to women. After seeing such a beauty, anyone would think other women are like weeds, right?"
CoCo bit her lip, suppressing the anger in her heart. Perhaps the person next to her thought she didn’t understand Chinese? So, in front of her, the legitimate fiancée, they openly said Le Tong was Ji Rui’s runaway wife?
And claiming Le Tong is a beauty while she, CoCo, is just a weed?
This is outrageous!
CoCo glanced at the name card holder on the table beside those two, secretly memorizing their names.
What a mess!
Le Tong, that woman, is clearly just a shameless woman who does disgusting things for money. How did she become a goddess to these people, captivating excellent men?
Runaway wife?
The only person deserving the title of Ji Rui’s wife is her, CoCo! Others aren’t even fit to carry shoes for her and Ji Rui!
Ji Rui, just wait. You’ll come begging me soon!
For now, continue your reckless display of affection!!
CoCo glared venomously at the "perfect couple" passing by her side, while the man who was supposed to be her fiancé tenderly pulled out a chair for that vile woman again.
"Thank you!"
Le Tong’s pink lips parted slightly, speaking softly with elegance. Her bright eyes moved with charm, displaying a lively smile that held innocence.
The way she was not only captivated the man beside her but also drew frequent gazes from several men sitting opposite.
CoCo thought she’d be the center of attention today, but now that attention was on the wicked woman, not on her!!
After Ji Rui and Le Tong stepped down from the stage, neither displayed the expected tension of candidates. Occasionally, they whispered together, but most of the time, they attentively listened to other candidates’ speeches.
Their calmness and indifference only made CoCo’s teeth itch with anger, yet she was unable to confront Ji Rui or create additional drama due to the public setting.
She hadn’t forgotten her purpose today was to strike at Ji Rui, not to win his favor!
But before she could make her move, she had already been severely struck by Ji Rui and others!
Tormented, CoCo clenched her teeth, resisting the urge to slap Le Tong, laughing coldly inside. Laugh now, laugh all you want, soon both of you will be crying!
She knew her significant vote gave her the power to equal ten ordinary votes.
According to her father, almost nine out of ten ordinary members were already bought off, as long as CoCo remained silent. These people would willingly vote for Ji Rui’s opponent, who was said to be her father’s puppet.
After all five candidates finished their speeches, the host announced that in ten minutes, the voting phase would begin. The assembly members were urged to carefully consider their choice for the most suitable president.
The conference room was abuzz with discussion, yet Ji Rui displayed no awareness of the crisis, engaging calmly among the members as usual.o check, confirming the message she sent earlier. With Ji Rui being so clever, surely he could understand her words, right?
"Alright, if you think slapping her tarnishes your image, change it! Kiss me once, and the presidency is yours!"
CoCo silently typed another line, again sending it to Ji Rui’s number.
Ji Rui picked up the phone again, and just like earlier, despite sitting beside her, he didn’t spare her a glance.
As if checking the time, Ji Rui read the message indifferently and put the phone back on the table.
Nothing hurts CoCo’s pride more than being ignored this way!
After sending two messages and being ignored both times, CoCo felt as though Ji Rui had publicly slapped her hard on both cheeks, leaving them burning.
Conveniently, the host announced the start of voting from the stage.
She cast a hateful glance at Ji Rui, and this time, seemingly sensing her fury, he finally looked up. Yet, he glanced at her as if he didn’t know her, then decisively turned his gaze to the large screen behind the stage.
On the screen, behind the five candidates, the names began appearing one by one.
These names belonged to assembly members.
A member’s name following a candidate indicated support for that person.
On the screen, Ji Rui and another candidate’s support lists were neck and neck, their numbers alternating upward competitively.
Though this situation was a bit different from CoCo’s imagined landslide, even with the current scenario, the special vote she held, worth ten votes, could absolutely bring Ji Rui down!
