Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if she was being overly paranoid, but she couldn't help but suspect that Lu Yiting hadn't returned. Could she really have been with Qin Fangang last night?
Li Muhua hurriedly hung up the phone. When she turned around, she happened to see a distracted Xin Yu. Her expression immediately changed and she quickly walked over. She grabbed Xin Yu's arm and pulled her away before she angrily flung her arm away. She pointed at Xin Yu's neck and scolded her coldly, "Did you eavesdrop on my conversation?"
"…"
Xin Yu had indeed heard the contents of their conversation, but it couldn't be considered eavesdropping, right? She was the one who had spoken so loudly. How could she blame others for having sharp ears?
"I didn't hear anything."
She did hear it, but Xin Yu was well aware of when and where to speak.
Li Muhua stared at Xin Yu. She didn't care if she was telling the truth or not and ordered her sternly, "I'm telling you, regardless of whether you heard it or not, you better pretend that you didn't hear anything. If you dare to spout nonsense, I won't let you off. Do you understand?"
"…"
Xin Yu couldn't be bothered to argue with her. She was in a rather bad mood now. She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions in front of Li Muhua, whom she hated even more. She suppressed her anger and said stiffly, "You don't have to threaten me like this. I really didn't hear anything. You don't have to waste your time on me."
With that, she turned around and walked to the main entrance of the Lu residence, ignoring Li Muhua's brilliant expression.
Xin Yu took about 20 minutes to reach the company. She bumped into Mu Chenchu at the elevator door.
Seeing that Mu Chenchu didn't look too well, Xin Yu pursed her lips. While waiting for the elevator, she couldn't help but ask, "Chenchen, did you … go to a dinner party last night? Did you drink a lot? You don't look too well. "
At the mention of last night, Mu Chenchu was obviously a little nervous. Xin Yu noticed that there was a rare blush on her face.
In her heart, Mu Chenchu was not a bashful woman. This was the first time she had seen Mu Chenchu blushing.
In the past, she would occasionally hear him talk about his first love, but even when he talked about her first love, she didn't seem to have such a shy expression.
"… Chenchen, you …"
"The elevator is here. Let's go in first."
Mu Chenchu reached out and gave Xin Yu a push. The two of them entered the elevator. She stepped forward and pressed the button for the 28th floor. In just a short while, the blush on her face had disappeared. She turned sideways and asked Xin Yu, "Speaking of what happened last night, why didn't you come? When Ji Yang called me, he told me that the person in charge of the project would be coming. I even specifically asked if you would be going, and he said yes. In the end, I ran over, but you didn't come. "
"Yesterday, I wanted to talk to Dad about my divorce with Lu Yihan, so I didn't go."
Xin Yu reached out and brushed the loose strands of hair behind her ears. The fact that Qin Fangang and Lu Yiting did not return home last night was still stuck in her heart. It made her feel too uneasy, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she could only beat around the bush. "… Were there a lot of people last night? Did you guys finish very late? "
"No, I'm not very sure."
Mu Chenchu coughed softly and avoided the topic. "… I left early in the middle, so I'm not sure what time the dinner party ended."
"Oh."
Xin Yu was obviously a little disappointed. Mu Chenchu was her best friend, so it was impossible that she didn't feel anything. She recalled the way Lu Yiting had stuck so close to Qin Fangang at the dinner table last night. She felt a chill run down her spine. Then, she looked at Xin Yu who was obviously in a daze … She wasn't sure if it had anything to do with Qin Fangang, but Xin Yu rarely took the initiative to ask her about something. If she did ask, it must have been a nagging feeling in her heart.
Mu Chenchu pondered for a moment and then said carefully, "Oh yes, why didn't you come yesterday? Why did you let Lu Yiting come instead? Since when can she represent the Lu Clan? Also, isn't that project between you and me? Later on, I was very depressed at the dinner party. "
"… She insisted on going. I'm not very sure either."
"Is that so?"
Mu Chenchu didn't know that Lu Yiting had already joined the Lu Clan. She didn't like the Lu Clan to begin with, so she was a straightforward person. Now that she had blurted it out, she said, "That kind of rich young lady doesn't know anything. I don't know what she was doing at the dinner table. She was dressed so skimpily. Not only was she trying to squeeze out her cleavage, but she was also so coquettish when drinking. In the beginning, she would say a few words of agreement, but in the end, she was practically glued to Boss Qin …"
Xin Yu's expression suddenly changed. Mu Chenchu was annoyed that she had said too much. She quickly shut her mouth and said, "… I actually left halfway, so I really don't know what time they left."
"It's fine." Xin Yu shook her head and said, "I was just asking casually."
When the elevator reached the 28th floor, the double doors opened slowly. Xin Yu tightened her grip on her handbag and quickly walked out. Mu Chenchu stood in the elevator and couldn't help but reach out her hand to slap her own mouth. 'Who told you to talk so much!'
Because Mu Chenchu had taken a leave of absence previously, Xin Yu was in charge of the progress of the project for two days. However, when the final contract was signed, it was in the hands of Qin Fangang. After Xin Yu entered the office, she composed herself and organized the documents in her hands. She knew that the project was in its final stages and some documents needed to be stamped. Coincidentally, a lot of the documents were in Mu Chenchu's hands. After she was done, she took the documents and went straight to Mu Chenchu's office.
Actually, there were still about ten minutes before the start of work. Qin Fangang hadn't arrived at the Lu Clan yet. The door to the CEO's office was locked. Even Ji Yang hadn't come.
As Xin Yu walked past the CEO's office, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Where was Qin Fangang now?
What was he doing?
Yesterday … was he alone, or was he with someone else?
She took out her phone and tapped on the screen. Her phone lit up, but there wasn't a single call or text …
This kind of feeling was as if she was longing for something with her heart in her throat. She was absent-minded no matter what she did, but the person she was longing for never gave her any response.
This kind of feeling was really unpleasant.
Xin Yu really wanted to give Qin Fangang a call, but every time she found his number, she didn't have the courage to press it.
…
He didn't come back for an entire night and there was no news at all. If he really cared about her, shouldn't he be the one to call her and explain himself?
Or were all men like this?
Did they not care after they got what they wanted?
To her, Qin Fangang had her body and her heart. She had given him everything, but when he turned around, he …
Did he not care about her anymore? He had once hugged her and said, "I like you too." Was it just a moment of interest?
…
Xin Yu reached out and massaged her aching temples. She felt that she was really overthinking things. This feeling of uneasiness was like a devil's hand that was controlling all the nerves in her body and even her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down. The negative emotions were surging fiercely. She felt like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who had just faced love and was worried about her gains and losses.
She sighed softly. It must be because she didn't rest well last night. That was why she was like this. She was not in good spirits and was always overthinking things.
Shaking her head, Xin Yu suppressed all the messy emotions in the depths of her heart. She took the documents and went straight to look for Mu Chenchu.
When she entered her office, she found that Mu Chenchu wasn't in. There was a huge pile of documents on her desk. Xin Yu thought that Mu Chenchu must have gone to the pantry. Mu Chenchu had the habit of drinking coffee every morning.
She went forward and tidied up the documents on her desk. Suddenly, Mu Chenchu's phone, which was placed beside her, beeped twice. It was the sound of a text message. Xin Yu instinctively glanced at it. There were a few words displayed on the screen. It seemed to be a client who wanted her to send a blueprint to the other party.
Xin Yu knew Mu Chenchu's password. She picked up her phone and opened it. After taking a closer look, she realized that it was indeed a client. Thinking that Mu Chenchu hadn't arrived yet, she wanted to help her reply first. She guessed that the other party had asked for a blueprint in Mu Chenchu's photo album. Hence, she clicked on her album to look for it.
Xin Yu swiped through the album and clicked on it. Soon, countless photos popped up on the screen. The photos that were displayed at the bottom, which were also the first few, jumped into Xin Yu's eyes. Her hand trembled and her heart fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant. That feeling was as if her whole body was pressed to the bottom of a cold lake. For a moment, Xin Yu really felt that her chest was stuffy and she couldn't breathe.
Mu Chenchu had secretly taken a few photos at the dinner party last night. At that time, she had wanted to delete all of them. However, because of Su Junyan's sudden appearance, she had deleted two-thirds of them and kept one-third of them. Unfortunately, they were the most intimate photos.
One was of Lu Yiting holding Qin Fangang's arm. Her exquisitely made-up face leaned close to Qin Fangang. It was unknown what she was saying. Qin Fangang in the photo had a deep expression on his handsome face. There wasn't much expression on his handsome features. He held a cigarette in one hand and his thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed. His deep eyes were also slightly narrowed. The moment he caught the photo, he turned his face slightly. However, his gaze did not stop on Lu Yiting's face but on her hand that was holding his arm.
The second photo was of Lu Yiting holding a wine glass with a shy look on her face. She held it in front of Qin Fangang. There was only this one shot.
The third photo was of Lu Yiting holding a pair of chopsticks. She picked up some food and placed it in Qin Fangang's bowl. Then, she smiled sweetly and said something to Qin Fangang. There was only this one shot.
…
All the emotions in the three photos seemed to be focused on Lu Yiting's face alone. The man in the photos had a deep expression on his face. There was no emotion on his face, but he was neither happy nor angry.
But if it wasn't for his permission, would Lu Yiting have the courage to hold his wrist?
Without his permission, would Lu Yiting dare to hand him a wine glass so boldly?
