Qin Yuran's eyes were already wet. She subconsciously clenched her hands into fists, and the nails she had made were deeply embedded in her palms, leaving a bloody mark.
The pain in her palms was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. She had been infatuated with Lin Yan for so long. For Lin Yan, she had given up her high-paying job and worked as Lin Yan's assistant in Lam's Group.
But in the end?
Haha! What she got in return was Lin Yan's disregard.
Qin Yuran couldn't stop her tears. They kept flowing. Her makeup was ruined and her beautiful face was dirty.
She turned around and wiped away her tears. But the more she wiped, the more her tears flowed. She wanted to say something, but her throat couldn't make a sound.
Ye Zi put the meeting notice on Qin Yuran's desk. She didn't know what to say to her. She just smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Qin Yuran rushed into the women's toilet, locked herself in the cubicle, and burst into tears.
After a quarter of an hour, Qin Yuran was tired of crying. She walked out of the cubicle and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was pale, her eyes were red from crying, and her makeup was ruined. She was in a sorry state, which couldn't be described in words.
She had never seen herself like this. She even hated herself like this.
Qin Yuran asked herself that she was no worse than Ye Zi. But why did Lin Yan just refuse to look at her?
Ye Zi! It was all Ye Zi's fault. If she hadn't appeared, maybe she wouldn't have loved him so humbly.
Attack!
Only by taking the initiative to attack, maybe she still had a chance.
Yes, as long as Ye Zi was gone, perhaps Lin Yan would look at her. Perhaps Lin Yan would fall in love with her.
Qin Yuran turned on the faucet and continuously splashed cold water on her pale, paper-like face. She tried her best to calm herself down. After a while, she raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She took out makeup from her makeup bag and put on an exquisite makeup look. She straightened her back and walked out of the bathroom in her high heels.
She informed all the departments to attend the meeting. As it was a regular meeting of the company, as an assistant, she did not need to accompany them to attend. Naturally, Ye Zi would not attend either.
Ye Zi returned to Lin Yan's office and looked at the ring on her left hand's ring finger. The dazzling diamond was shining brightly.
Ring ring ring …
Her phone suddenly rang. Ye Zi picked it up and answered Jian Xia's call.
"Congratulations."
On the other end of the phone, Jian Xia sounded like she was laughing.
"You know about it?" Ye Zi frowned slightly and asked Jian Xia.
Jian Xia smiled and said, "I know. Lin Yan just called Qin Chen. It seems that Lin Yan has been planning this proposal for a long time. It's just that a certain woman found out later."
"Don't make fun of me."
A faint blush appeared on Ye Zi's face. Her bashful appearance was like a young wife who had yet to marry into the family.
Jian Xia smiled and said gently, "Think about your wedding with Lin Yan. Do you have any suggestions? You know, men's brains are always —"
"I've never thought about this."
Ye Zi touched the diamond ring on her finger and pursed her lips. "Let's not talk about this for now. What did you find out?"
Jian Xia said, "I didn't find out who Yao Shanghuan's ring was given to. But I feel that there's something wrong with Yao Shanghuan. "
"What is it?" Ye Zi asked.
Jian Xia looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "Before Yao Shanghuan became the Deputy Director of the Administration Department of Lin Corporation, he worked in the International Trade for a period of time."
"The International Trade?!" Ye Zi frowned. That meant that Wang Dongxue and Yao Shanghuan had worked in the same company.
Lin Yan should have known about this before they came to Lam's Group.
But why did Lin Yan let them join Lin Corporation?
Ye Zi fell silent. After a while, she said, "Continue to investigate them. I think we're not far from the truth."
After she hung up, someone knocked on the door. Ye Zi got up and walked to the door. When she opened it, she saw Qin Yuran standing in front of her.
Qin Yuran had a smile on her face. Her cold but sharp eyes scanned Ye Zi. Finally, her eyes landed on the ring on Ye Zi's left hand.
"What's the matter?" Ye Zi asked.
Qin Yuran asked, "Is Mr. Lin here?"
Ye Zi frowned and turned around. There was no one else in the empty office except for Ye Zi. Ye Zi curled her lips and sneered. "Miss Qin, you're Lin Yan's assistant. Don't you know that Lin Yan is at a meeting?"
Hearing this, Qin Yuran's expression froze slightly. She pursed her lips and muttered, "Alright then, I'll wait for Mr. Lin's meeting to end before looking for him."
"Wait."
Ye Zi suddenly stopped Qin Yuran.
Qin Yuran turned around and frowned at Ye Zi. "You know that Lin Yan is not in the office, but you still came to see him. I want to know why you did that."
Qin Yuran raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with a chilly glint. She snorted coldly, her red lips slightly parted as she coldly said, "I forgot."
"Hehe." Ye Zi sneered. She narrowed her eyes and sneered, "I know very well what you want. Since you've come to find me, come in and talk slowly."
Qin Yuran took a deep breath and walked into Lin Yan's office.
Every time she walked into Lin Yan's office, her mood was different. But it was never as painful as this time.
Ye Zi sat on the sofa and glanced at the person beside her.
Qin Yuran felt relieved as she sat down. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "I know that you will never leave Lin Yan. I saw your ring. In comparison, Lin Yan has already proposed to you."
Ye Zi nodded noncommittally. "En, yes."
Qin Yuran bit her lower lip hard. Tears welled up in her eyes. She was even more convinced that she wanted to target Ye Zi.
She smiled weakly. "I can't stop anything now. I can only congratulate you."
"Should I say thank you?" Ye Zi picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Qin Yuran stood up unhurriedly and walked straight out of the door.
Ye Zi did not understand the purpose of Qin Yuran's visit this time, and she knitted her brows tightly.
After Qin Yuran left, she took out her phone and pressed the speakerphone button. "Did you hear what I just said?"
The other party was silent for a while. Then, a sobbing female voice came from the phone. "I heard it. They're really getting married."
"Ha!" Qin Yuran sneered. "Do you think I'll lie to you? Don't be silly. It was your sister who lied to you. She begged Lin Yan to let you join the Lin Group, and at the same time, she was trying to please Lin Yan. To put it bluntly, you're just a chess piece she planted in Lam's Group. You're a chess piece she can give up at any time. "
Before Qin Yuran entered Lin Yan's office, she had called Ye Xinrou. She had repeatedly emphasized that she didn't want Ye Xinrou to say anything. She wanted her to know a big secret.
Later, during the conversation between Ye Zi and Qin Yuran, Ye Zi admitted that she had agreed to Lin Yan's proposal.
Ye Xinrou had been thinking about, hoping, and loving Lin Yan. She had hoped that one day, she could replace Ye Zi and become Lin Yan's woman. However, things didn't go as she wished. She had never dreamed that Lin Yan had already proposed to Ye Zi.
Ye Xinrou's hand, which was holding the phone, could not stop trembling. After a moment of silence, she asked Qin Yuran, who was on the other end of the phone, "Why did you let me know all this?"
Qin Yuran said, "Have you ever heard of the saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?"
"Are you saying that you want me to join forces with you?" Ye Xinrou's voice was filled with doubt.
Qin Yuran nodded. "That's right. You should recognize the truth. Right now, the person who is a threat to you isn't me, but your good sister. As long as she's here, we won't enter Lin Yan's world."
"You want me to help you get rid of my sister?" Ye Xinrou asked in a low voice.
Qin Yuran said, "You can't say that. After all, in today's society, who would be stupid enough to do anything illegal? I just want to join forces with you to destroy her."
When Qin Yuran said these words to Ye Xinrou, it was as if she was talking about something trivial.
"If my investigation is correct, you have long wanted to use your sister's body to exchange for the lead role in the web drama."
After hearing Qin Yuran's words, Ye Xinrou was slightly stunned. This matter had been in the past for so long. If Qin Yuran hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.
"Heh." Ye Xinrou sneered. "That's a good idea. As for the candidate …"
"I'll help you with the rest."
Qin Yuran's lips curled into a cold smile. She opened her red lips slightly and said faintly, "We'll talk about the details when we meet."
Lam's Group's weekly meeting ended early at three o 'clock in the afternoon on Friday.
Every company meeting, Lin Yan would be very late. But today was different. Lin Yan wanted to see Ye Zi as soon as possible. He even announced that the meeting was adjourned before the end of the meeting.
This puzzled the senior management of Lam's Group. Ever since Lin Yan's girlfriend came to the Lin Group, the devil, Lin Yan, seemed to have changed into a different person.
He no longer killed, and from time to time, a faint smile appeared on his face.
This made people feel that work was not as scary as before.
Lin Yan pushed open the office door. What greeted him was not Ye Zi's happy smile, but an empty office.
He frowned, picked up his phone, and dialed Ye Zi's number.
Beep, beep, beep …
But on the other end of the phone, no one answered. All Lin Yan could hear was the busy tone on the phone.
Lin Yan did not know where Ye Zi had gone.
Every time he called Ye Zi, she would answer immediately. But this time … he wanted to chat with more like-minded people about "[Essay] has the Right to Remain Silent". He followed Youyu Literature on WeChat.
