The moment s.h.i.+ Guang said that, no one dared to utter anything more. Coincidentally, her phone rang at that moment. She pushed open the door to the safety access and picked up the call.
Lu Yanchen’s voice drifted over icily from the other end. “Why are you not out yet?”
If she were to get any later, the Ministry of Civil Affairs would be closing soon.
s.h.i.+ Guang pursed her lips and replied a little impatiently, “Hold on, there’s something going on here…”
Her tone wasn’t really great, since, well, anything related to Yang Sitong was tossed over as Lu Yanchen’s fault in her mind. But in reality, she also knew that once Yang Sitong had known about her and her sister, she would definitely not let her have peace, whether or not Lu Yanchen was involved in the equation.
Sensing that there was something wrong in her tone, Lu Yanchen asked with a deep tone, “What happened?”
s.h.i.+ Guang replied with an irritated tone, “Isn’t it all because of your fian— ex-fiancée?”
A dangerous look flashed by Lu Yanchen’s cold eyes. He had already warned her sternly by s.n.a.t.c.hing away one of the Yang Family’s projects. But to think that she would still dare to create trouble.
Was she prepared to sacrifice the entire Yang Family to fulfill her wilfulness, or did she think that he would not dare to really do anything to her?
He replied coldly, “I’m coming over now.”
“There’s no need. A clear conscience isn’t afraid of a shadow cast on it. I’ll be fine in a bit. Just wait there a little while more.”
As she ended her call, s.h.i.+ Guang turned around to face Xu Zixian who had pushed the door open and walked in. s.h.i.+ Guang said nothing as she glared at Xu Zixian expressionlessly. Her eyes were like black agate pearls that had been soaked in a bucket of ice, exuding forth nothing but frost and coldness.
When Xu Zixian met with s.h.i.+ Guang’s gaze, her face turned somewhat pale. Yet, she chuckled uncomfortably and called out s.h.i.+ Guang’s name still, “s.h.i.+ Guang!”
s.h.i.+ Guang asked her indifferently, “Is there anything?”
While smiling, Xu Zixian comforted s.h.i.+ Guang. “s.h.i.+ Guang, you don’t have to worry! I’m sure that you’ll be fine!”
s.h.i.+ Guang’s gaze was perplexed as she replied, “Of course! Since I didn’t consume any forbidden drugs, I’ll naturally be fine.”
Before Xu Zixian could speak, a jeer sounded out, “Don’t be so sure about that!”
The voice had drifted down from above. Raising her head, s.h.i.+ Guang caught sight of Yang Sitong immediately. Coming down the stairs, she was just like a proud peac.o.c.k that was descending.
Xu Zixian’s face stiffened for a moment before saying out gently, “Don’t say that.”
Yang Sitong mocked her coldly, “Oh, you can’t really think that she can still take you as a friend after all that you’ve done, can you?”
Xu Zixian’s face was caught in a fl.u.s.tered loss as s.h.i.+ Guang’s face turned black and terrible almost instantaneously. Looking at everything, Yang Sitong gave off a delightful smirk—s.h.i.+ Guang must have taken this Xu Zixian as her friend!
If she knew that she was betrayed by this friend of hers and framed, that everything in the past was nothing more than hypocrisy and fakeness, wouldn’t she be filled with torment and misery?
Yes, that was the s.h.i.+ Guang she would love to see.
She could not wait to see s.h.i.+ Guang left all alone fending against the creeping despair.
Looking at s.h.i.+ Guang, she scoffed out coldly, “If I didn’t remember wrongly, this good friend of yours pa.s.sed you a bottle of water, right? Was it nice to drink? Did you enjoy the special goodwill that your friend added into the water?”
Xu Zixian exclaimed, “Miss Yang!”
Her face was pale as a sheet while she turned around and looked at s.h.i.+ Guang frightfully. She then shook her head furiously, trying to indicate her innocence.
Yang Sitong looked at her. “Don’t worry, I won’t tattle, neither would I renege on my promise to you. Only, some things are better made clear to some people.” Looking at s.h.i.+ Guang’s shocked face of disbelief, she roared out into a hearty laughter. “HAHAHA! Taking someone as a true friend while the other party has no shred of sincerity toward them at all! Wasn’t that especially fun?”
