Chapter 20 - SPREADING RUMORS

"How did I end up here?" She was puzzled. Who had saved her? If it was Mo Jin, she didn't believe it. He had just left without a word, how could he have come to save her? It was a fantasy. The servant explained, "It was the young master who brought you back. You were soaking wet and unconscious. The young master had the house doctor treat you all night." "Mo Jin brought me back?" Tang Yutong couldn't believe it. She sneered in her heart. Who was all of this for? She didn't care. If that was the case, she would rather have died there! Her friends and family wouldn't have to suffer from Mo Jin's torture because of her. "Yes, the young master said for you to rest well these few days. Oh, by the way, madam, I'll go get you some ginger soup to warm you up." The servant left to inform Mo Jin. When Mo Jin came in, he saw Tang Yutong lying on the bed, looking pale. He was reserved, thinking that when he had carried her back yesterday, he thought she was done for. It wasn't until the doctor said she was fine that he was relieved. It had been a rough night, and she had just managed to break her fever. He was frustrated and angry. Was this woman stupid? Did she not trust him? Could she really find her way in the wilderness? Tang Yutong kept a cold face. He didn't speak, and she remained silent. The air seemed to freeze in the small space. "Why didn't you wait for me there yesterday?" He couldn't help but ask. Tang Yutong sneered, "Wait there, for me to die? Or wait there for me to wait for death? How would I know you were coming?"

It seemed as if everything was her fault, according to what he said. Mo Jin was speechless for a moment.

During the past few days of rest, Tang Yutong had not spoken a word to Mo Jin. They ate separately and if they saw each other, they acted as if they hadn't. After her physical condition returned to normal, she returned to work at the company. As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw a familiar figure - Tang Lixue. What was she doing here?

Tang Lixue naturally saw Tang Yutong and came over to say hello with a slight smile, "Sister, you finally came."

Tang Yutong ignored her and was about to walk past her towards the elevator. However, Tang Lixue grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I haven't seen you for the past two days. They said you didn't take any leave and suddenly stopped coming to work. I thought you weren't coming back."

Tang Yutong sneered, "What does it have to do with you whether I come or not?"

Tang Lixue's face turned green for a moment, and a flash of anger passed through her eyes before returning to normal. "Sister, I'm here for an internship. There are fewer classes at school these days."

Tang Yutong frowned, feeling somewhat surprised. Everyone knew that it was difficult to get into the Mo Group. How did Tang Lixue get in? Did Mo Jin let her in? She sneered inwardly.

"That's your business. You don't have to tell me," Tang Yutong said coldly.

As they walked towards the elevator with a group of people, Tang Yutong didn't pay much attention to Tang Lixue. Even if they worked together, she didn't think Tang Lixue could do anything.

Unexpectedly, she had underestimated Tang Lixue. These days, every time she passed through crowded places, she would be talked about behind her back. They said she was promiscuous, seducing this person and that person, juggling multiple relationships, and had a bad character. With a little thought, she knew it was her so-called sister who had done it. Since she came, these things had happened. Who else could it be?

These days, the rumors about her in the company were spreading like wildfire. Mo Jin must have heard the news. With his temper, wouldn't he question her right away?

As if on cue, her phone rang.

Looking at it, it was Mo Jin calling.

"Where are you?"

"In the hallway."

"Come to my office."

Tang Yutong sat on the sofa, while Mo Jin typed on his keyboard. In the midst of his busy schedule, he looked up and asked, "Don't you want to know why Tang Lixue is in the company?"

"What's the use of asking? You're the boss. It's your freedom to hire whoever you want," Tang Yutong sneered, curling her lips.

Mo Jin's handsome face darkened, and Tang Yutong's indifferent attitude made him inexplicably angry. He put down his work and walked over here in big strides.

Tang Yutong watched him warily and shrank into the corner of the sofa.

"Tang Lixue is spreading rumors about you. Don't you know how to resist? She even dared to go to my gambling den alone some time ago. You have the courage, don't you?" Mo Jin's deep eyes were full of coldness as he approached Tang Yutong.

Tang Yutong sneered and said word by word, "What I do has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"Don't forget what our relationship is. This damages my reputation too, not just yours!" Mo Jin held her chin, his eyes flashing with a cold light, while his other hand lightly traced her cheek, his fingertips cool.
