Shen Qi didn’t have the time to think about these issues. Right now, she was more concerned about the identity of the person who took those photos and sent them to Ye Moxuan.
When she went out for hot pot with Ye Linhan yesterday, she paid attention to her surroundings and felt that there was no one around.
But then, it felt as if someone was following them.
She didn’t expect her sixth sense to be so accurate—someone had really followed her.
But who was this person? Why did they take the photos and sent them to Ye Moxuan? What was the purpose of doing this?
“What are you thinking about?” Yan looked at her innocently, blinking her eyes.
Shen Qi had only known her for a while, but there was no one else to share her distress at the moment. If she kept everything to herself, she was going to suffocate to death. In the end, she said, “Hypothetically speaking, who do you think would deliberately frame someone in general?”
Hearing that, Yan rolled her eyes helplessly. “This question is so stupid. Well, first of all, they must be jealous of you, or you’ve threatened their status.”
Shen Qi was stunned after hearing her reasonable analysis.
“Are you being framed? What’s the matter?” Yan asked curiously.
“No, it’s a friend of mine.” Shen Qi briefly described the incident. “She has only been married for only two months, but she was photographed one day when she was out with a colleague. Then, the photo was sent to her husband. Who do you think would take the photo?”
“Married for two months?” Yan looked deep in thought. “Their relationship isn’t that good, is it?”
Shen Qi nodded without hesitation.
The relationship between Ye Moxuan and her was not just ‘not that good’—it was disastrous. Especially in the past few days, their relationship had gotten a lot worse.
“Well, according to my analysis, there might be two reasons—firstly, another woman might have liked your husband, so she deliberately took these photos to send to him to destroy your relationship!”
Shen Qi hurriedly interrupted her. “He’s not my husband!”
“Oh, don’t fret about the tiny details. The second reason is that your husband doesn’t trust you, so he has specifically asked someone to follow you!”
Shen Qi corrected, “I’ve told you—it’s not my husband. Stop saying nonsense.”
Her ears became a little hot, thinking that Yan didn’t care about the words that came out of her mouth at all. Did Shen Qi ask the wrong question?
Yan leaned over to her sneakily and asked with a smile, “Shen Qi, don’t tell me that you are married?”
Shen Qi said, “Of course not!”
The marriage between Ye Moxuan and her should never be disclosed to the company.
Firstly, they were not a real couple, so it was best to keep their relationship hidden. Besides, she would be leaving in five months.
Secondly, if the women in the company knew that she was married to Ye Moxuan, they would definitely rip her apart.
However, Yan had already thought that the woman was talking about was Shen Qi herself, and it was useless for her to explain.
In the end, Shen Qi could only admit it.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. After Shen Qi glanced at it, she found that it was a WeChat message from Han Xueyou.
‘Qi, let’s have dinner together tonight. I will tell you the result.’
Upon seeing this, Shen Qi’s hand shook.
In the past two days, she had been deliberately avoiding this matter, not wanting to think about it. She didn’t even take the initiative to find Han Xueyou.
However, it was inevitable and unavoidable.
Shen Qi thought for a while and agreed to Han Xueyou’s request.
Seeing that she was typing a message, Yan took a look at it.
“What result are you talking about?”
Probably because of her guilty conscience, Shen Qi’s hand shook, dropping the phone onto the ground with a clatter.
“Why are you acting so guilty?” Yan bent over and picked up the phone. After taking a look at the phone, she returned it to Shen Qi.
Han Xueyou used her own photo as her profile picture. When Yan first saw it, she thought this woman looked pretty. However, at a second glance, she suddenly felt that Han Xueyou’s face looked a little peculiar, so she snorted out loud.
“Is this your friend? She looks weird.”
Shen Qi wiped the screen of the phone. After finding out that everything was working fine, she was relieved.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Shen Qi and Han Xueyou had been best friends for many years, and Han Xueyou had always treated her like family. When Yan made such remarks, Shen Qi immediately became upset.
“I’m not talking nonsense. Look at the corners of her eyes and her face. Oh, she looks like a treacherous villain.”
Shen Qi was speechless after hearing that.
Yan continued, “If someone were to backstab you, it could be her.”
Shen Qi had never expected that Yan’s assumptions were true.
However, at that moment, she didn’t know anything. Hearing that her best friend was being slandered by others, she felt quite annoyed.
“Yan, I became friends with you because I feel that although you are a little bit arrogant, you are not a bad person in nature. But I didn’t expect you to say this to a person whom you’ve only seen pictures of. You know, Xueyou is my best friend. I don’t like it when others comment about her this way, do you understand?”
Yan pouted. “Well, if you don’t like it, I’ll just shut up. But she really looks like the typical bi… All right, I won’t say anything anymore. Let’s just eat in silence!”
The atmosphere of this meal was not very good, and Shen Qi left after finishing her food.
She rested for a while before sorting out the information.
Halfway through that, Ye Linhan came to Ye Moxuan to report about some incidents. When he passed by her, he brought her a cup of warm milk.
Shen Qi suddenly became nervous when she saw the cup of milk.
Yesterday, when the two of them went to eat hot pot together, they were photographed; today, he brought a glass of milk to her. Would that be photographed as well?
Suddenly, Shen Qi thought of the two possibilities Yan had just said.
In fact, it didn’t necessarily mean that others were out to harm her. Maybe it was Ye Moxuan’s doing as he always thought that she had the habit of sleeping around and was afraid that she would cheat on him, so he hired someone to follow and take pictures of her.
At the thought of this, Shen Qi gulped.
“Linhan, I don’t need it.”
Ye Linhan still smiled gently at her. “I just happen to have it. Just drink it. No one will see it here.”
Shen Qi did not reply to him.
“All right then. I’m going to speak to Moxuan.”
After Ye Linhan left, Shen Qi held the cup of milk. The temperature of the milk passed through the cup to the palm of her hand, directly warming her insides.
Linhan is really a considerate person.
After Shen Qi drank the milk, it warmed up her abdomen, making her feel much better.
Finally, the working hour had come to an end. Shen Qi was very exhausted. The wordings on the documents were so densely packed that they made her dizzy just poring over them.
After she was done resting in her seat and prepared to leave with her bag, the office door suddenly opened.
“Your work is done?”
An icy voice traveled through the air.
Shen Qi halted and turned to meet Ye Moxuan’s eyes.
“It’s time to knock off,” she replied quietly.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were indifferent. “When did Ye Group produce employees with the habit of leaving without finishing your work?”
Shen Qi didn’t know how to reply to his question.
So, he is asking me to work overtime?
Of course, Shen Qi knew that he wanted to give her a hard time. She bit her lower lip and explained in hushed tones, “Can I come to work early tomorrow instead? I have an appointment with Xueyou for dinner. I—”
