After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 627 - 631: Police Visit [3]

Staff from several nearby offices watched the police leave, their gossip now louder than a boiling pot.

"Did you see that? The cops are here, she must’ve been the one who did it!"

"She’s as despicable as Sister Xu, I tell you!"

"It’s so strange, why hasn’t President Leng fired her yet?"

"That shows President Leng still cherishes the old times, truly a peerless good man!"

...

Hearing Xu Pei’s high-heeled footsteps, everyone immediately retreated to their own place and continued with their work.

Xu Pei had long since heard everyone’s gossip. She walked in slowly and stopped in the large office, clearing her throat slightly, "As your superior, I need to remind you that work time isn’t for chit-chat, and as an individual, I also need to remind everyone that slander isn’t a groundless accusation!"

No one spoke.

Xu Pei strode into her office, unaware of who whispered behind her.

"The guilty are always afraid, even when no one accuses them!"

Bang!

"Luo Xiaoqian, if you have the guts, sue me! These petty actions, do they mean anything?" Xu Pei slammed her office door, swiftly pulled down the louvered window, and furiously threw her bag onto the desk, "On one hand, you act innocent and nice in front of Zimo, and on the other, you pull these stunts. You want to kick me out of Emperor View and force me to leave by doing this, let me tell you, forget about it. Even if you take Leng Zimo away, Emperor View is my Emperor View, and I absolutely will not leave!"

She naturally assumed that all these incidents were instigated by Luo Xiaoqian.

...

...

At the Leng Family’s study.

Leng Zirui threw the documents on the table with barely concealed anger, "I just don’t understand, what is Xu Pei thinking, how could she do such a thing?!"

"Ah..." Leng Lin sighed, "This girl can be even more stubborn than Zimo at times. How has she been these past few days?"

Leng Zimo shrugged, "She’s been getting drunk at bars every day, torturing herself to the point of being neither like a human nor a ghost. Just last night, she got robbed outside the bar and now can’t even return home."

"Where is she now?" Leng Lin asked with some worry.

"She went back to work at the company early this morning, seems to have recovered quite a bit," revealed Leng Zirui, sharing his investigation results.

Leng Lin nodded slightly, "What about Xiao Qian?"

"She should be out of town on album promotion, probably won’t be back for a few days," Leng Zirui stood up, "I still stand by my view, this matter, Xiao Qian should be informed."

Leng Lin frowned deeply and thought for a moment, "Fine, I’ll tell her about it, and she can decide whether or not to tell Zimo."

"Dad!" Leng Zirui frowned, "Aren’t you putting Xiao Qian in a difficult position? What do you expect her to do, continue to forgive Xu Pei?"

"What do you want me to do then, put Xu Pei in jail, or have Zimo kill her?" Leng Lin furrowed his brow, his voice tinged with anger, "Do you think I really don’t know about Zhengding’s issues?!"

Leng Zirui was taken aback, then put on a curious face, "Zhengding, what Zhengding? What’s wrong with Zhengding?"

"Stop playing dumb with me; you think I don’t know what you guys are up to?" Leng Lin glanced at him angrily, "This bastard is getting more and more out of control, daring to kill someone in Zhengding. Who knows what he might do in a fit of rage?"
