In the Huo Corporation, Tang Yuyue was busy contacting the sales department and asking them to redraft the contract with the flower base.
At noon.
"Sue, someone's looking for you outside."
When her colleague passed the message to her, Tang Yuyue was suspicious. When she saw who it was, she smiled politely.
It was her.
Gu Yichen's sister-in-law, Cheng Tian's sister, Cheng Le.
Another woman who had feelings for Gu Yichen.
"Miss Cheng, what's the matter?"
She wasn't familiar with Cheng Le, but she had seen him a few times overseas because of Gu Yichen.
Every time, she could see the unfriendliness in the other party's eyes.
She didn't know why she came to look for him this time.
"I heard from Brother Ah Chen that you work here. I happen to be free today, so I'm looking for you for a meal and a chat."
Cheng Le was wearing a tailored slim-fit dress and had exquisite makeup on his face. She raised her chin slightly, looking like a rich lady.
Tang Yuyue hesitated for a moment and agreed. "Okay."
Even though she didn't really want to have anything to do with her, she was just curious why Cheng Le was looking for her.
The two of them arrived at a high-end restaurant nearby.
The waiter led them to a seat by the window.
"Sue, the dishes here are very high-quality. You won't be able to taste them overseas. Look, what do you want to eat? Don't stand on ceremony. It's my treat today."
Cheng Le ordered a few dishes and handed the menu to Tang Yuyue.
She looked like a high and mighty person giving alms to a beggar.
Tang Yuyue only found it funny. Seeing that she had ordered enough, she handed the menu to the waiter.
"I have a small appetite, and I don't have much of an appetite when eating with people I'm not familiar with. Miss Cheng, you've just ordered enough food. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Let's just split the bill equally."
Cheng Le's expression changed and she almost couldn't maintain her smile.
"I didn't expect you to be so eloquent despite looking so weak and feeble, Sue. No wonder Ah Chen can't forget you."
Was she getting to the point so soon?
Did she come to look for her because of Gu Yichen?
Tang Yuyue took a sip of water. "Miss Cheng, you didn't really want to have a meal with me, did you?"
They were all thousand-year-old foxes. Why was she beating around the bush?
"Since you have asked, I won't talk about anything else."
Cheng Le looked cold and arrogant. "Sue, my family and Brother Ah Chen's family are already discussing our marriage. Can you stay away from him?"
Gu Yichen was going to marry Cheng Le?
Tang Yuyue was slightly stunned, then said, "Miss Cheng, you don't have to treat me as an imaginary enemy. Ah Chen and I are just ordinary friends."
"Ordinary friends? Would an ordinary friend ask Tiantian to call you Mommy? Would an ordinary friend ask Brother Ah Chen to send your son to and from school every day?"
Cheng Le said sternly, "Sue, I've seen many women like you. You have a lowly status and you treat a rich man as your life-saving straw. Don't you have any shame?"
Tang Yuyue: "…"
She really had nothing to say.
She pursed her lips and was organizing her words when she heard Cheng Le continue, "Alright, I won't talk nonsense with you. Name a price. How much do you want to stay away from Brother Ah Chen? I'll treat it as doing good and spending some money to send a beggar away."
Use money to send a beggar away!
Tang Yuyue's expression completely turned cold.
"Miss Cheng, let's not talk about the fact that Ah Chen and I are really ordinary friends. Even if there's something between us, it's not your place to negotiate with me. If you have money, donate a little to the poor mountainous area so that you can leave some dignity for yourself and make Ah Chen see you in a different light. I still have to go to work, so I won't accompany you."
She was really too free. Why did she agree to eat with her?
She had made herself upset for nothing.
Tang Yuyue got up and was about to leave.
"Stop right there. I haven't finished talking. Why are you leaving?"
Cheng Le stopped Tang Yuyue, who was about to leave.
Tang Yuyue frowned. "Miss Cheng, what exactly do you want?"
"I…"
Cheng Le opened her mouth and saw a figure from the corner of her eye. Her eyes immediately flickered and she reached out to hold Tang Yuyue's hand. She said pitifully, "Sue, I really like Brother Ah Chen. I beg you to fulfill my wish."
Tang Yuyue only felt a pain in her hand. She hissed and subconsciously shook Cheng Le off.
Cheng Le exclaimed and took two steps back, falling directly to the ground.
Tang Yuyue: "…"
She didn't seem to have used much strength!
No!
Was Cheng Le pinching her fingers just then?
So that she would subconsciously shake her off?
"Miss Cheng, you…"
"Xiao Le!"
A man's voice came from behind. Immediately after, Gu Yichen strode to Cheng Le's side and helped her up.
Tang Yuyue's outstretched hand paused. Seeing Cheng Le's aggrieved look, she immediately understood.
Cheng Le acted very well.
Gu Yichen would probably think that she hurt Cheng Le on purpose.
"Ah Chen, don't blame Sue. I lost my balance and fell accidentally. She didn't push me because she hated me."
Cheng Le held Gu Yichen's hand with a delicate look.
Gu Yichen frowned and looked at her, then at Tang Yuyue.
Did some people have to frame her with such lowly methods?
Tang Yuyue was speechless.
She was about to speak when a man's low and magnetic voice sounded in her ear. "What a good show. It's a pity that some people don't enter the entertainment industry."
This voice…
Tang Yuyue was slightly stunned. Before she could react, she felt a warmth on her waist and a familiar man's aura surrounded her.
"Didn't you promise to have lunch with me? Isn't it disgusting to eat with a pretentious b*tch?"
It was Huo Jingyun!
What nonsense was he talking about?
When did she agree to have lunch with him?
Tang Yuyue was stunned. She turned her head and glanced at him. When she met his smiling eyes, her heart beat happily uncontrollably.
Why was this man smiling so dotingly at her?
And he was even hugging her?
They were like a couple!
Let go of me!
Cheng Le's expression changed after being rebuked. She looked at Huo Jingyun, who was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and then at the few higher-ups standing behind him with inexplicable expressions. She pulled Gu Yichen's arm and said coquettishly, "Who are you? How can you say that? Brother Ah Chen, look at them…"
Gu Yichen pursed his thin lips and looked at the two people hugging each other steadily. His expression was also very ugly.
Didn't she say she didn't like Huo Jingyun?
But now, this scene…
"President Gu, it seems that you've already thought about the collaboration between our families carefully. However, I doubt your taste in women. In the past, your taste in picking girlfriends was very bad, but now, it's even worse than before."
Huo Jingyun ignored Cheng Le. The corners of his thin lips curled up coldly. He hugged Tang Yuyue, who was stiff, forcefully and turned around to leave.
Gu Yichen's expression changed and his jaw tightened.
What did Huo Jingyun mean?
Was he telling him that he knew what was good for him and chose Cheng Le for the sake of the cooperation between the two companies?
However, he had bad taste and found a woman even worse than Tang Yuyue?
Did he have to be so conceited?
