C76 – Seat Tempest

Gu Ning’s sarcasm became so evident that even a fool could understand what he meant.

It seemed that many people had identified her relationship with He Siming. Even if she explained now, Gu Ning didn’t believe her. Wen Shuyue didn’t bother to say more and chose to keep silent.

“Out of guilt or something? When did you really get involved with He Siming?” As Wen Shuyue remained silent, Gu Ning’s face sank, and his words sounded awful than before.

Wen Shuyue sneered and replied, “Mr. Gu, didn’t you tell me to get in touch with He Siming before? Did you forget about it so soon? “

“I…” Gu Ning obviously didn’t think of this and didn’t know what to say.

At the very start, Gu Ning wanted Wen Shuyue to get close to He Siming because he tried to put her in Mannis as a spy, and then attacked Mannis through internal and external attacks. He had not expected to discover his feelings for her more and more later until they had reached a point of no return. 

“I will try my best to get this project, so you don’t have to keep talking to me about such boring things. I think we should just talk about work.” Wen Shuyue’s tone was noticeably colder than it had been before, and as soon as she had finished speaking, she went first to the box.

Watching Wen Shuyue leave, Gu Ning suddenly felt that he had done something wrong. What he should do now was to keep Wen Shuyue close to him, instead of giving her a chance to get close to He Siming again.

But the project had been decided. If he did not let Wen Shuyue do it now, she would not give up. In the end, he would lose more than she deserved.  

At the same time, a lot of companies sent people here. This time, almost all of them were big leaders, who attached great importance to this project. After all, the land of Baolai was so superior that everyone wanted to take it down.

Wen Shuyue sat quietly on the seat, and then took a good look at the data of Baolai. No sooner had she been quiet than someone came to pick on her.

“You really don’t know who you are. Don’t you know the seat next to Gu Ning is mine?”

Wen Shuyue heard the harsh, familiar voice of a woman. Before she knew it, someone had moved the sofa under her. Fortunately, she was able to react quickly so that she didn’t fall.

It was Xi Ya who was talking with her. Wen Shuyue didn’t notice that their company was competing for this project this time. She raised her lip slightly and said with a sneer, “I belong to the same company with Mr. Gu. In principle, you are our competitor. Why are you sitting next to him?”

“Why? Because I’m his girlfriend, of course.” Xi Ya did not pay any attention to Wen Shuyue’s words. She pushed Wen Shuyue aside and took her place.

In the face of such an unreasonable woman, Wen Shuyue didn’t want to say anything more, so she took a seat at random and didn’t see the name on it.

As time went by, more and more people came. They all found their seats. Gu Ning found that Xi Ya was sitting beside him, and his face sank.

“Here you are. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Xi Ya met Gu Ning as soon as she saw him and kept close to him.

Gu Ning did not answer with a long face. Because of Xi Ya’s parents, he did not refuse her and then sat down.

Seeing Gu Ning didn’t refuse her, Xi Ya became more and more extravagant. In front of so many people, she openly challenged Wen Shuyue.

“I knew I could take this seat at will, but just now, someone insisted on taking it. Miss Wen, do you think I’m right? Don’t you sit well there? “

After hearing Xi Ya’s words, everyone looked at Wen Shuyue and started whispering. Even though their voices were small, they made her uncomfortable.

“So don’t fight for something you obviously can’t fight over. Why bother? I’ve heard a lot about Miss Wen recently. I have to admire your skill.” Without hearing Wen Shuyue speak, Xi Ya obviously thought she was afraid and said more and more excessively.

Many of them here knew Wen Shuyue’s recent affair with He Siming. They wanted to talk, but as it was Siming, so they just listened without any comment. 

Originally, Wen Shuyue didn’t want to talk to her, but since she went too far, she had to blacken her face and said coldly, “What Miss Xi said is getting more and more prickly.” It’s normal for young men and women to have an affair. If I don’t have an affair with anyone, doesn’t that mean I’m too ugly? Besides, the president of Mannis and I are both single, so even if we do have something, I don’t think you have the right to judge. “

After hearing these words, everyone could not help but burst out in an uproar. No one thought that Wen Shuyue would dare to speak He Siming openly. After all, if He Siming heard this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, no sooner had Wen Shuyue said this than He Siming appeared with Gong Yang.

“Tut-tut, Miss Wen is really eloquent. No wonder some people are always trying to get you into trouble.” Gong Huan said with a smile. It was obvious that he had taken a slight interest in Wen Shuyue.

When he first met her in the bar, he remembered the name Wen Shuyue. He didn’t expect that there was so much fate between them, and they met again at this dinner.

Wen Shuyue looked a little pale. With an embarrassed yet polite smile, she said, “Today we are here for the project, and we shouldn’t say anything else. I am quite helpless when Miss Xi came to bother me.”

“Wen Shuyue, what nonsense are you talking? Why do you blame it all on me?” Xi Ya couldn’t sit still, stood up, and pointed to Wen Shuyue loudly.

No matter which of the two was against whom, the people present could tell by the mere fact of their upbringing that who was wrong.

Wen Shuyue was unusually calm. Obviously, she didn’t want to say anything more to such a person. Now she felt like losing face when she said one word more to Xi Ya.

“You silly little girl. Go back to your seat.” It was Xi Ya’s father who spoke.

The father and daughter were clearly alike. Xi Ya’s father had been sitting there watching Wen Shuyue’s joke, and he would not have said a word until his daughter made a fool of herself.
