Hearing Bai Mo’s voice, Qin Shiya hurriedly covered her mouth.
“It’s… it’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired. Let’s talk later.”
“Wait, hold on…”
Bai Mo heard that Qin Shiya wanted to hang up.
Just as he was about to speak, the call was already disconnected.
The more Bai Mo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
He felt that the voice on the phone just now sounded familiar, and then there was Qin Shiya’s unusual behavior.
Suddenly, Bai Mo seemed to think of something; his phone almost slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea.
“No… impossible, Shiya isn’t that kind of person.”
…Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Shiya and the other person were already finished.
“You… you just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, so you lied to me, didn’t you? You’re truly disgusting.”
Qin Shiya looked at Su Yu angrily.
He could slander her, but he absolutely could not slander Bai Mo.
She and Bai Mo had grown up together as childhood friends.
She knew best what kind of person Bai Mo was, and she believed it was absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing.
However, Su Yu didn’t care about the anger in Qin Shiya’s eyes.
After straightening his clothes, he walked toward the office door.
“Then today, I’ll let you meet the former boss of the money-making project Bai Mo mentioned.”
With those words, Su Yu walked out with a smile.
Qin Shiya was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly tidied herself up and chased after Su Yu.
She didn’t believe it—or rather, she didn’t dare to believe it—but she couldn’t help but want to seek the truth.
Seeing Qin Shiya chasing after him, the smile on the corner of Su Yu’s mouth widened.
He wondered what kind of expression Qin Shiya would have when she learned that the man she liked had been a facade from beginning to end.
The look on her face then would surely make Su Yu even more delighted and excited.
Su Yu took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Wanqing.
Su Yu: Come to that cafe from last time now, I have something to discuss with you.
After sending the message, Su Yu put his phone away.
On the other side, Lin Wanqing, who had dark circles under her eyes and looked exhausted, rubbed her eyes in disbelief after seeing the message, fearing she was hallucinating. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
After her relationship with Su Yu had become a bit strained, she couldn’t believe Su Yu would actually take the initiative to ask her out.
Lin Wanqing hurriedly put down the work she was busy with and ran out of the laboratory.
“President Lin, you… you need to rest…”
The Little Secretary on the side saw her boss disappear before her like a gust of wind and sighed somewhat helplessly.
Since she told President Lin about Bai Mo the day before yesterday, Lin Wanqing had been working day and night for two days.
Although she would occasionally fall asleep from exhaustion, she would wake up after only a few minutes and continue working every time.
This led the Little Secretary to wonder if her boss had been cursed; no matter how much one wanted to work, they shouldn’t do it like this.
Lin Wanqing hurriedly drove home to wash up first, then applied light makeup to slightly cover her haggard face.
Finally, she carefully selected a white dress and headed straight for the cafe from last time.
When Lin Wanqing walked into the cafe, she spotted Su Yu at a glance.
After all, Su Yu’s looks were outstanding, and his temperament was different from the people around him.
A smile appeared on Lin Wanqing’s face, but just as she was about to go over and say hello, the smile on her face instantly froze.
It was because she saw a woman whose beauty was not inferior to hers sitting beside Su Yu.
At the same time, Su Yu also noticed Lin Wanqing and waved for her to come over.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing could only bite the bullet and walk toward Su Yu.
Although she didn’t know who the woman beside Su Yu was, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable hostility toward her.
It wasn’t until Lin Wanqing got closer that she realized the woman beside Su Yu was slightly superior to her in both looks and figure.
Adding to the fact that Lin Wanqing had been working day and night for the past two days, the gap between the two was even larger.
This made Lin Wanqing, who had specifically dressed up before rushing over, feel like a bit of a joke.
Lin Wanqing pursed her lips and sat across from Su Yu.
Su Yu, as if he hadn’t noticed anything, pushed a coffee toward Lin Wanqing.
“I ordered your favorite Americano for you.”
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing was flattered.
“Thank you.”
She hurriedly thanked him and took a small sip, finding this cup of coffee to be even more delicious than what she usually drank.
Qin Shiya, watching this from the side, felt a sourness in her heart for some reason.
They had just done *that* kind of thing, and now he was actually being attentive to another woman.
However, it didn’t end there.
Su Yu and Lin Wanqing actually began to chat about work with total focus.
Qin Shiya looked at Su Yu and Lin Wanqing resentfully.
She felt that Su Yu was doing it on purpose.
He clearly said he was bringing her to see the former owner of that project, yet how were they chatting more and more enthusiastically, completely treating her like air?
But she didn’t dare to interrupt the two of them.
She was truly afraid that Su Yu would punish her in public.
Lin Wanqing’s peripheral vision would also occasionally sweep over to Qin Shiya, and she naturally saw Qin Shiya’s resentful gaze.
However, Su Yu didn’t seem to pay her any attention, which made Lin Wanqing feel a little happy inside.
The two talked for a full hour until Qin Shiya was almost about to mutate from anger before they gradually stopped.
Of course, if they were only talking about work, it wouldn’t have lasted so long.
It was because after they finished the work talk, Lin Wanqing found many other topics to keep the conversation going.
“Alright, President Lin, I’m sure you can see that besides asking about the progress of the chip, I have other matters to discuss with you today.”
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing turned her gaze toward the beautiful woman beside him.
At the same time, Su Yu introduced the two to each other.
“This is Lin Wanqing, the former boss of the money-making project Bai Mo mentioned.”
Qin Shiya frowned and looked at Lin Wanqing.
“This is Qin Shiya. She’ll tell you the specific details.”
After the introduction, Su Yu let the two discuss it themselves.
After all, some things only needed a hint; the truth would be more interesting if they confirmed it themselves.
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Lin Wanqing also vaguely guessed something.
“Miss Qin, may I ask what you wanted to see me about?”
Qin Shiya didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“The money-making project Bai Mo mentioned… was it stolen from… from you?”
Suddenly, Qin Shiya didn’t want the answer anymore, because she felt that if she heard it, something in her heart would instantly shatter.
“That’s right. Just the day before yesterday, he personally stole all the experimental data from my company’s laboratory.”
Lin Wanqing spoke without the slightest hesitation.
