Sun Yan put down her coffee cup and took out a make-up mirror to touch up.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "The waters of this wealthy family are indeed deep, not something ordinary people can delve into."
Xuan Meimei couldn't ignore anymore. Wen Zhiyao already had a fiancé, yet she still flirted deliberately with Jiang She, she was shameless.
Xuan Meimei held back her contempt, deliberately spreading rumors, "I went to President Jiang's office today, and it was obvious that President Jiang is not interested in Wen Zhiyao. But guard your hats, Wen Zhiyao is skillful. She brought some new clothes saying she wanted to try them on for President Jiang.''"
Sun Yan's pupils dilated in shock, her lipstick was even smeared, but she didn't notice, all she could think of was consuming the juicy gossip about Wen Zhiyao and Jiang She.
Sun Yan couldn't wait to ask, "What happened then?"
Xuan Meimei snorted, "What do you think happened? Of course she was chased out by President Jiang. Some people need self-awareness, not every man likes it when a woman throws themselves at him. Wen Zhiyao has completely lost face."
Sun Yan noted Xuan Meimei's interest in Jiang She and teased, "Meimei, you are so outstanding, and your work ability is top-notch, all you have to do is show up around President Jiang a few more times, he will definitely notice you."
Xuan Meimei felt smug.
But on the outside she pretended to be confused, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Li Lulu also chimed in, "Go Meimei, you are sure to beat Wen Zhiyao, and will become the first in President Jiang's heart."
In a great mood, Xuan Meimei offered, "I'll cover your breakfasts for the next three days."
"Meimei is so great, one look and you can tell she's got the makings of a Jiang Family mistress." Li Lulu complimented casually.
In order to secure three breakfasts, Sun Yan suppressed her impatience, offered a casual flattery, "Yes, Wen Zhiyao is nowhere as good as you."
Soon after, the two left, leaving Xuan Meimei by herself feeling smug.
The news of Wen Zhiyao deliberately seducing Jiang She spread unsuppressed.
By mid-morning, everyone in every department had heard the rumors.
Wen Zhiyao went out for a glass of water, feeling many eyes on her.
She took a sip of water and, out of the corner of her eye, saw people point at her. When she looked back, they immediately pretended to be busy with their work.
After setting down her tea cup, Wen Zhiyao went to the restroom.
Just as she entered a cubicle, the doors to the neighboring cubicles opened.
Followed by the sounds of water flushing.
Xuan Meimei was touching up her make-up in front of the mirror, and said to the person next to her, "Wen Zhiyao is really a cunning girl. After flirting with Jiang Jingyan, now she's trying to seduce Jiang She. The old man is too old and naive; he can't even see through this woman's intentions. Tsk, tsk, tsk…"
Xuan Meimei's tone was full of sarcasm and derogatory remarks; she had no good impression of Wen Zhiyao.
She was fully aware of what had transpired in the office this morning.
Jiang She's attitude towards Wen Zhiyao seemed more than just disinterested.
If she could use public opinion to drive Wen Zhiyao away, Xuan Meimei was willing to continue distorting the truth.
"Some women are good at disguising themselves. Even though they are cunning Black Lotuses, they always pretend to be Pure White Lotuses in front of men. The old man might know the complexities of business, but not necessarily the fickleness of women." Another woman chimed in.
Xuan Meimei rolled her eyes, her voice full of contempt, "Even though she already has a fiancé, she still flirts around. A woman like her will get what's coming to her sooner or later."
Just as the words left her mouth, the cubicle door opened.
In the mirror, Wen Zhiyao in a black suit skirt walked between Xuan Meimei and the other woman. Calmly, she opened the faucet, bent down, and washed her hands.
Her face was peaceful as if she wasn't the person being talked about.
Xuan Meimei didn't expect the woman in the cubicle to be Wen Zhiyao herself.
Her heart pounded crazily in her chest.
"Wen... Wen Zhiyao?" Xuan Meimei's voice trembled with anxiety, "What are you doing here?"
Wen Zhiyao fixed a few loose hair strands in front of her mirror, then turned around, the light in her eyes growing chilly, "Why can't I be here? Is this restroom only open to you?"
Her pressing question made Xuan Meimei's heart beat faster.
She had the pressing urgency like being 'caught red-handed'.
"No... no, I didn't mean that. I just...you were eavesdropping and didn't say a word. Isn't that going too far?" Xuan Meimei insisted rudely.
Wen Zhiyao stared at her, her eyes reading Xuan Meimei's panic and disregard of courtesy.
Wen Zhiyao only found it ironic, and countered, "You gossiping about me behind my back, and you blame me for not chiming in?"
Xuan Meimei was left speechless.
Wen Zhiyao took a piece of tissue paper, dried her hands, and put the tissue in Xuan Meimei's hands.
Xuan Meimei was puzzled. Wen Zhiyao kindly reminded her, "You have lipstick on your teeth, this tissue is wet, you can use it to wipe your mouth. Once you are cleaned up, your talk will no longer stink."
After saying that, Wen Zhiyao left the restroom with her head held high.
From beginning to end, Wen Zhiyao didn't show any discontent or anger.
She knew what kind of person she was and was well aware of her situation. As for what others think of her, for now, Wen Zhiyao didn't want to bother.
What just happened was a wakeup call to Xuan Meimei. If she continues to shoot her mouth off in the future, Wen Zhiyao won't stay quiet.
When Wen Zhiyao left the restroom, Xuan Meimei angrily threw the tissue on the ground and trampled on it.
As if the thing on the ground was not a tissue, but Wen Zhiyao.
The other woman had already quietly left and didn't go along with Xuan Meimei.
However, the rumors in the company didn't stop because of this, instead, they became increasingly bizarre.
Jiang She soon heard about all these things.
In the office, Jiang She looked at Wen Zhiyao with a smug smile, as if she were not the protagonist of the rumors but just a passerby enjoying the drama.
She originally was supposed to be full of anger, anxious, angry, and furious... but Wen Zhiyao didn't show any of them.
Did she genuinely not care, or was she pretending too well?
Jiang She couldn't help but open up, actively unveiling the cloth that disguised Wen Zhiyao in the public's eye, "I've heard some rumors that you attempted to attract my attention using your body, even performing a striptease in my office."
In the end, his tone suggested he found the situation funny, Jiang She seemed to be in a good mood.
They really went all out with the rumors!
Wen Zhiyao shrugged nonchalantly, both she and Jiang She knew what actually transpired.
Wen Zhiyao asked in return, "Mr. Jiang, did you invite me here just so we can gossip together?"
Wen Zhiyao maintained her indifferent demeanor, as if nothing was worth her attention.
Jiang She motioned for Wen Zhiyao to come over.
Wen Zhiyao stepped forward, confused, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you trying to validate the rumors? I'm not playing along with that."
Jiang She let out a mischievous laugh, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned two buttons. His slender fingers landed on the third button, attracting Wen Zhiyao's attention.
Jiang She purposefully enticed her. His voice held a note of seduction, as he asked in a husky voice, "Would you watch if I were the one to perform a striptease for you?"
