Chapter 13 We Came From Different Worlds

Xiaoran Shi pretended to have a profound look and said: "Actually, it's not a secret. It's a little personal matter about Mr. Shen."

Marilyn Ye nodded with great interest in her eyes.

Xiaoran touched her face and made fun of her: "Marilyn, I don’t expect you to be gossipy as well!"

Marylin immediately realized that she acted too obviously. If this was another person's secret, she might not want to hear it, but for some obvious reasons, she was very interested in Jamie Shen’s secret .

Xiaoran raised her eyebrows with a smile and whispered in her ear, "Our leader said that the young lady of Jiang family was pursuing Mr. Shen! Do you know about the Jiang family which possesses untold wealth and rights in business and politics?"

Marilyn immediately thought of the only daughter of the Jiang family, Xinyao Jiang, that she heard from Ruhua Meng in the Shen house last night, but Ruhua said Xinyao was developing a relationship with her son, not Jamie. Why did she suddenly go after Jamie?

"Are you sure Xinyao is the young lady of the Shen family?" Marilyn asked tentatively.

Xiaoran was stunned, "Marilyn, do you know Xinyao?"

Marilyn pretended to be calm and explained, "How could I know about her? I just heard someone mention her!"

Xiaoran nodded vigorously without doubts, "It's her! It's her! Xinyao is famous in Nancheng City. Numerous young masters desire to marry her because one of them can be the heir of the Jiang family as long as Xinyao chooses him as her husband. How tempting it seems! After all, the Jiang family can be as rich as a country! Even the Shen family is less valued than the Jiang family."

Marilyn had also heard about this, "Miss Jiang will be a daughter-in-law who owns hundreds of billions in the future and whoever marries her will possess an inexhaustible wealth."

Marilyn felt confused about why Xiaoran said that Jamie was pursued by Xinyao instead of the eldest young master of the Shen family.

Xiaoran smiled unpredictably, "That's why I said that Mr. Shen is promising! Even Miss Jiang likes him so much! I heard from the leader that Xinyao also went to the party last night and recommended some famous business people to Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen didn't thank her. While Xinyao still waited for him and wanted him to send her home after the party, unexpectedly, Mr. Shen refused her request with an excuse of an urgent matter----going home to have some porridge! "

Speaking of this, Xiaoran laughed loudly, "It’s funny, right? The leader told us secretly that when Xinyao heard what Mr. Shen said, her face turned pale! I can’t believe that Mr. Shen wanted to go home and have porridge made by his mommy. It's so funny and how weird he is, right?"

Marilyn was buried in thoughts and didn’t reply for a long time. After being pushed by Xiaoran with her elbow, she said in a daze, "Absolutely..."

Xiaoran couldn’t stop laughing, "Indeed, I have never seen a man like Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen is so unique for going home to have a bowl of porridge instead of a date with Miss Jiang!"

As they were talking, the elevator came. After entering the elevator, Marilyn took a deep breath but she found it difficult to breathe.

She thought the reason was that there were too many people in the elevator.

But when she got out of the elevator and went to the office of the engineering department, she still felt like a stone stuck in her chest that made her couldn’t breathe.

Marilyn was absent-minded all morning. She guessed that Jamie would come to make trouble for her later. But the whole morning went by, Jamie still did not show up.

The colleagues were also amazed that Mr. Shen did not come to the company today. In the past, Jamie would come to the company to clock in every morning and handle some businesses before going out for business unless he went on business trips. But today, to their astonishment, he didn’t show up at all.

The leader of the engineering department took the drawings to his office and knocked on the door several times, but nobody answered. Therefore, as they returned, they were all gossiping, "It's weird. Didn’t he come to the company? Did he drink too much last night and overslept?"

Marilyn couldn't help but feel a little worried. She wondered what was the matter with him.

Thinking of this, she became more absent-minded in her work. When she was making an engineering audit plan, she made several mistakes in succession. Then the leader criticized her for not being serious in front of the colleagues around her. Marilyn had to shamefully accept the criticism.

In the afternoon, the leader sent Marilyn to do chores for the work-site. Marilyn accepted it without complaint because she already made many mistakes that morning.

Although the weather had gradually become cooler in the past few days, the sunlight was still hot in the afternoon. After Marilyn walked out of the company with a large stack of drawings, she sweated heavily on her forehead.

In front of the entrance of the company's office building, Marilyn saw an extended Lincoln, and then she saw Jamie sitting at the back seat of the Lincoln.

He was tall and straight when sitting. He looked straight ahead after the car parked in front of the company. Possibly, he was waiting for the vice president of the company.

Marilyn stared at Jamie while he didn't notice the gaze from her, even not turning his head around or blinking.

Marilyn stood there and stared at him blankly for a while, and then she walked towards the bus station with the drawings.

As she walked forward, she thought the huge gap between him and her. For him, he always sat in the back seat of a luxury car. As for her, she always rushed to catch a subway or a bus on foot. In this respect, they were totally different people in totally different worlds.

Mrs. Shen was right because she was not good enough for him. And people from different classes couldn’t live happily even though they tried hard to be together.

Young master Jamie should find a woman like Xinyao Jiang, who had a distinguished family background, a good education, and a good reputation. If he was with herself, they were destined to separate instead of lasting forever.

Regarding these, Marilyn was clear that only when people who came from the same class, same family, and educational backgrounds were likely to be happy. It was impossible for Jamie and her because they were not even a formal couple. She was a woman he slept with.

A man would not take a woman who he used as a bed partner seriously. A girl who was said to be the murder of her sister would not be judged fairly by the world. A woman who was said to be the daughter of a prostitute would not be treated nicely by people around her. She was probably considered by her boss and owner, Jamie, as a venting tool without dignity.
