Chapter 1150: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (6)
Qiao Lian slept all the way through till day broke.
After a languid stretch and was.h.i.+ng up, she walked out of her room and saw that Xia Yehua was in the dining room preparing breakfast for her.
“Mom,” she called as a morning greeting and walked over to the woman.
After breakfast, she left the house with Shen Liangchuan.
On her way to work, Shen Liangchuan said calmly, “Let’s not tell Mom about your pregnancy for now.”
Qiao Lian understood his intentions at once.
Shen Liangchuan was concerned that Xia Yehua would object to the pregnant Qiao Lian endangering herself under the guise of having lost her memory.
If that happened, it could very well strain the relations.h.i.+p between the two women.
Qiao Lian nodded and said, “Ok, I understand.”
Upon arriving at the office building, Qiao Lian parted with Shen Liangchuan most reluctantly. The receptionist greeted her very politely when she walked into the office. She smiled broadly, waved back and then headed to the caster’s department.
Just as she was stepping in, she suddenly heard a commotion at the door.
She halted and turned around. Lu Nanze strode in.
He looked gloomy and very serious. She noticed that he had not fully recovered from the allergic reaction. He headed straight for the elevator.
As he was walking quickly, he did not see Qiao Lian, who was just around the corner.
She frowned when she observed his tense expression.
Had something significant happened?
Why did he look so frantic?
Shaking her head, Qiao Lian continued her way into the office. In the office, she saw that a few casters had gathered around the resting area and were having a casual chat.
Qiao Yiyi was sitting in the midst of this group, staring straight ahead.
One of the casters instigated, “Sister Yiyi, the fact is you’ve been here for many years. What has that study girl done to deserve challenging your position?”
“Indeed, isn’t it only because she scored with the director? She’s got youth on her side now. Let’s see how long she can stay this arrogant.”
“Exactly, Sister Yiyi, that Love Chuan isn’t even qualified. Why should she deserve all the resources in the company? But fortunately, there’s fairness for once. You’ve been given the opportunity for the caster exchange.”
Their words only fueled her anger.
Qiao Yiyi felt even gloomier now.
What did they mean by fortunately? The opportunity had been hers to begin with.
She sprang up from her seat and shouted, “Enough, shut up, all of you!”
Everyone jumped in fright and fell silent looking at her, puzzled by her outburst.
She frowned and started walking away. But the moment she turned, she saw Qiao Lian.
Her eyes narrowed at once, and she stared at the other woman as though she was going to devour her.
Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow and, without saying a word, walked right past her.
Then, the moment Qiao Yiyi stepped out of the caster’s office, she deliberately approached the general manager and asked, “That caster exchange opportunity that I rejected, who’s doing it instead now?”
Qiao Yiyi clenched her fists tightly at once when she heard this. With a scowl and cold snort, she stormed out of the door.
Looking at her back, Qiao Lian smirked coldly.
After spending some time brainstorming with Shen Liangchuan, they had thought that the only way to make her use the account book would be to provoke her to the point that her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Nanze completely broke down.
Only then would Qiao Yiyi want to take revenge on Lu Nanze. She would use the account book to threaten him, or even to prosecute him.
