When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 393 - 93: Do Not Reveal Your Identity (3)

Even though Young Master Sheng had a foul expression, he clearly listened to Qiao Zi’s words and waved his hand, "Forget it, I’ll handle this."

"Yes! So, President, what about your lunch...?"

"Whatever."

Qiao Zi held back his laughter and walked away, grateful the big boss was unaware of yesterday’s events; otherwise, Qiao Zi thought his expression would be even worse.

On the other side, after replying to Sheng Jianan’s text, Tang Yanqi handed the menu to Guo Jingtian, "Brother Guo, you decide, the guest is more important."

Guo Jingtian laughed and waved his hand, "I’m not picky, you all decide what you want to eat."

"Alright, then I won’t hold back."

With three people dining, Tang Yanqi ordered four dishes and a soup. After ordering, Bai Bing pulled Tang Yanqi to the restroom.

Standing in front of the sink, Bai Bing couldn’t hold back her laughter, "Tangtang, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

Tang Yanqi smirked, "Not really, he’s helped me a lot these past two days, and I was thinking of treating him to a meal anyway."

"Why choose this moment? Especially in front of him—you have no idea, when Guo Jingtian agreed, Yu Shasha’s face turned green with anger."

Tang Yanqi wiped the water off her hands with a smug expression, "Girl, that’s the added value of treating someone to a meal."

"You are impressive, repaying a favor, angering a rival, and dragging me into it so your guy won’t overthink—Tangtang, that’s killing three birds with one stone."

Tang Yanqi smiled and reined in her smugness, "Actually, I didn’t intend to anger anyone, it’s just that people don’t offend me and I don’t offend them. If someone is hell-bent on making my life uncomfortable, and I don’t retaliate, wouldn’t it seem like I’m too easily bullied? As for arguing in the office, that’s pointless. If you strike a snake, you strike the vital spot."

Bai Bing rolled her eyes, "You’re so mean, they were mad as hell, and now you’re calling them a snake... nutjob."

"Not at all, if you put it that way, the nutjob would be unhappy."

Bai Bing: "..."

Walking back from the restroom, Bai Bing suddenly pulled Tang Yanqi aside, "Tangtang, let me pay for this meal, thank you."

"Hm?"

"Don’t think I don’t know why you’re provoking Yu Shasha—it’s not because she put you in an awkward spot, but because she made me take the fall, isn’t it? I know what kind of person you are; you wouldn’t bother quarreling with someone like her."

Tang Yanqi smiled without speaking; Bai Bing was right—she truly didn’t care to argue with Yu Shasha.

If Yu Shasha merely disliked her and targeted her with words a couple of times, Tang Yanqi wouldn’t bat an eye. But within these two days, Bai Bing had already been scolded twice by Li Ke. Even though it was minor, Tang Yanqi knew Yu Shasha was deliberately pushing Bai Bing to take the fall.

How can that be tolerated?

Sometimes, when people bully you, it’s not a big deal. But when they bully someone you care about, it makes you far more furious than being bullied yourself.

After lunch, they returned to the office, and just as Tang Yanqi stepped in, she met Yu Shasha’s angry gaze. She pretended not to see it and went back to her desk.

The entire afternoon, the finance department was wrapped in a strange atmosphere, and Yu Shasha didn’t directly trouble Tang Yanqi but kept bossing Bai Bing around.

However, whenever she bossed Bai Bing, Bai Bing turned to Tang Yanqi for help, and Tang Yanqi wasn’t shy about it, taking over tasks which meant, as a newbie, she had to meticulously consult with a senior, namely Guo Jingtian.

It was obvious, someone’s face turned greener.
