“What do you mean by ‘know very well’?” Luo Yaling looked at Wang Qing in confusion.
“Don’t play dumb with me. Everyone in the company knows. Does she think she can deny it?” Wang Qing cursed her internally.
“Play dumb? When did I play dumb?” Luo Yaling was bewildered by Wang Qing.
“Xiao Ling, you should have told me earlier. There’s no need to hide it from me. Showing off with a CEO—just say you’re together. Afraid others would look down on you? Asking a friend to destroy it? People are just trying to make a living, no need to be so heartless!” Wang Qing was indignant.
“What language are you speaking, Qing Jie?” Luo Yaling was more confused.
“Still pretending?” Wang Qing asked incredulously.
“Pretending? Is this about yesterday? Why would I care about her ride? I’m not some big shot,” Luo Yaling responded.
“Forget it. I won’t discuss this anymore. By the way, there’s a banquet tonight. Are you going? Bring a male companion.”
“Oh.” Luo Yaling realized she couldn’t refuse when Qing Jie said that.
“But what kind of people will be at this banquet?” Luo Yaling silently prayed it wouldn’t be business people.
“Of course, they’re big shots from the business world. You can dig up some news, isn’t that good?” Wang Qing replied, plotting her evening plan.
“Ah! Oh God! Why are you going against me? How can I not go now?”
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go?” Wang Qing shot her a vicious look, implying that not going was not an option.
“Hehe! How could I not want to go? So many big shots, I can’t wait to hear some gossip! Right, Qing Jie?” Luo Yaling was suffering inside, trying to act tough despite her misery.
“I knew you’d go. I’ve already prepared this. Here’s the invitation card.” Wang Qing smirked, having prepared two cards in advance.
You’re threatening me. How can I not go? Luo Yaling’s heart raced as she took the invitation card, feeling its weight suffocating her.
Why has she been having such bad luck recently? What deity has she offended?
Looks like she needs to burn some incense, Luo Yaling thought depressedly.
