Chapter 41 The First Private Room on the Left
The two of them who were previously talking as if nobody was around them were also stunned.
When they looked in the mirror and saw Su Ziyue standing behind them, they let out a scream out of shock; one of the women who was touching up her makeup even dropped the foundation which she was holding.
“W-Why are you here?”
The two women had a very distinctive look on their faces; one of them was so skinny like a bamboo pole. Her front was as flat as her back, making her back look like her chest too.
On the other hand, the other woman was short and plump like a winter melon.
This short and plump woman was the one who said that ‘she was skillful in bed’—Su Ziyue could easily remember her voice.
She then took two steps forward while habitually lifting her chin, glancing at this stumpy-looking woman from head to toe.
This stocky woman might’ve been wearing high heels, but standing in front of Su Ziyue—who was wearing flats—her height only reached Su Ziyue’s chin.
The stocky woman could also sense that Su Ziyue was judging her height; the thing she hated the most was when people paid attention to her height.
“What are you looking at?” She was already shorter than Su Ziyue by a head. Naturally, her question seemed uninfluential when standing in front of Su Ziyue.
“Repeat what you had just said.” Su Ziyue folded her arms and squinted her beautiful eyes so that nobody could see the emotion in her eyes, feigning nonchalance.
Her simple makeup had unknowingly made her seem imposing.
The tall and skinny woman at the side suddenly walked forward and pushed the stumpy-looking woman beside. “Why are you like this? Why do you hide in the washroom and eavesdrop on people’s conversations?”
“Ma’am…” Su Ziyue tilted her head to glance at the woman before continuing, “Ma’am, a washroom is a public place. Why do I need to eavesdrop on people’s conversations here? Since you guys are discussing issues like this here, you shouldn’t be afraid of being overheard.”
“You…”
Su Ziyue calmed herself down; she did not expect these two ill-mannered women to waste her time here. Taking a step back, she leaned against the wall and put on a sluggish look. “The more, the merrier. Since I’ve recorded the conversation, I’ll bring it to the private room and share it with everyone else to enjoy it.”
Su Ziyue’s arched her lips to put on a scheming smile. As soon as she finished talking, she headed outside. Marching out, she exited the washroom in the blink of an eye.
The two women were left in the washroom with their eyes widened. Then, they grabbed their bags and chased after her.
The two of them immediately saw Su Ziyue’s back when they ran out. The corridor was deserted so they shouted at her, “Stop right there!”
Su Ziyue did not stop walking although she had heard the shouting behind her.
The two women behind her then caught up to her.
“Mrs. Qin, we can work things out…”
“That’s right, we are all working in the same company; we will be seeing each other very often. It wouldn’t be good if we continue on like this…”
The women finished each other’s sentences, trying to persuade Su Ziyue.
President Qin was well-known for his impartiality in the company. Although he had never lost his temper, the way he glared at people was already terrifying enough.
They had foreseen that if Su Ziyue really disclosed this recording, they would be in the wrong and might very well lose their jobs; it wasn’t easy to find a job now.
Su Ziyue looked at them coldly and raised her brows. “Are you guys going to let me go over?”
“You…”
Su Ziyue was looking behind them, realizing that it was Bai Jingshu’s secretary and another high-ranking female executive.
She pursed her lips and the coldness in her eyes dispersed.
Bai Jingshu’s secretary saw Su Ziyue first, so she walked up to her and immediately asked, “What are you guys doing?”
From her point of view, these two employees kept blocking Su Ziyue’s way, saying that they refused to let her go. Su Ziyue’s expression seemed like she did not want to turn them down, and could only listen to them helplessly.
“W-We are only having a chat with Mrs. Qin…”
The two women were appalled when they saw Bai Jingshu’s secretary, not knowing when she had arrived. They glanced at Su Ziyue again, and the hostile look on her face from just now had disappeared.
The two of them then realized that they had been framed by Su Ziyue.
“Are you guys here to use the washroom too?” Su Ziyue looked at the secretary smilingly. “They didn’t say anything. It’s just that…”。
At this moment, she paused and smiled helplessly. She did not finish her sentence and everyone who was at the scene subconsciously empathized with her.
They were all women; Su Ziyue was Qin Muchen’s wife, and Qin Muchen was also a popular man in the company.
“In that case, you had better return to the private room soon, Mrs. Qin. If not, President Qin will be coming out to look for you later.” The secretary politely nodded before excusing herself and headed to the washroom.
Su Ziyue waited for the secretary and the high-ranking female executive to enter the washroom before wiping the smile off her face, no longer paying attention to them.
After being framed by her, the women carefully followed her from behind, thinking that Su Ziyue would not disclose that recording anymore. Hence, they were thinking about what to say.
In the end, they stumbled across Qin Muchen at a corner; he had come out to look for her.
Qin Muchen extended his arms to hold her hand and profoundly glanced behind her. “What took you so long?”
The corners of Su Ziyue’s lips twitched; his gaze made her feel like Qin Muchen had certainly seen what she did just now.
Before Su Ziyue could answer him, Qin Muchen had dragged her away. “It’s getting quite late, so let’s make a move first. I’ve already said goodbye to Jingshu.”
Su Ziyue replied sluggishly, “Whatever.”
Then, she turned her head around and looked at the two women as if she had pulled a prank on them; she even waved her hand that was holding her phone.
Indeed, she saw the ghastly, pale looks on the two women’s faces.
Su Ziyue then retracted her hands from his grip when they reached the entrance of the Lumiere Jade House.
Qin Muchen was not bothered by it and looked at her with a faint smile. He only uttered three words, “Was that fun?”
Su Ziyue was at a loss for words. Pursing her lips, she was in an awkward and frustrating position. As expected, he had witnessed everything.
Qin Muchen’s smile got wider when he saw the look on her face.
Just then, Su Ziyue was saved from this awkward confrontation by the phone’s ringtone.
Seeing that someone was calling Qin Muchen, Su Ziyue swiftly hailed a cab and got into the car. She even childishly made a funny face at him before getting into the vehicle and said, “I’ll go back by myself.”
Stunned, Qin Muchen seemed to have seen this coming. He then softly chuckled before answering the call.
After hanging up the phone, the cab had long driven away, so he turned around and went back to the Lumiere Jade House again.
Su Ziyue, who was sitting in the cab, glanced behind and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Qin Muchen really did not chase after her. She habitually touched her wrist and realized that something was missing on her wrist.
She had left her watch behind in the private room as she took it off before she began dining.
She wanted to call Qin Muchen to help her get it, but then she remembered his gaze that was faintly smiling. Hence, she told the driver with a sullen look, “Mister, can you turn back round? I forgot to take something.”
Returning to the Lumiere Jade House, Su Ziyue was slightly confused. Previously, it was Qin Muchen who brought her upstairs. Was it on the third floor or the fourth floor?
“It should be the fourth floor,” muttered Su Ziyue to herself before pressing the fourth floor.
It was the first private room on the left on the fourth floor.
Su Ziyue unhesitatingly pushed the door of the private room and walked in, but there were only three people inside.
A person, whose face could not be seen clearly, was lying on the floor, covered in blood.
Another familiar figure was wearing a blue suit, respectfully sanding at the side while talking to the man who was seated, “Boss, he…”
He abruptly stopped talking because Su Ziyue had suddenly barged in.
Meanwhile, the man who was sitting down with a cigarette in his hands and addressed as boss by Nan Chuan was the man whom she couldn’t be more familiar with—Qin Muchen.
