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

Chapter 400: You’re Not Allowed to Reveal Your Identity (10)

Tang Yanqi had no idea about the commotion she had caused during the afternoon.

Since she was meeting Mrs. Sheng at noon, Tang Yanqi had put her phone on silent. After all, her meeting with Mrs. Sheng could be considered a discussion or even a negotiation. In such a situation, any phone call would be unwelcome.

She was wearing a black top today, so any tea spillage wouldn’t be obvious. Just as she entered the office, Bai Bing pulled her into the restroom, and the two of them squeezed into a small cubicle.

"Tangtang, Mr. Sheng went to the employee cafeteria this afternoon."

"Hmm?"

"Hmm, what do you mean hmm? Clearly, he was looking for you. I thought you were going to have lunch with him..."

"Shh!"

Before Bai Bing could finish speaking, Tang Yanqi covered her mouth. This was the restroom, a hot spot for company gossip, and she hadn’t checked if anyone was around when they came in. She didn’t want anyone overhearing anything.

The two of them walked out in understanding silence. Once Tang Yanqi confirmed no one was around, she explained, "I went out at noon to handle some matters."

It wasn’t yet time for work, so Tang Yanqi ducked into the nearby stairwell, finally taking out her phone to look at it. As expected, there were three missed calls from Sheng Jianan and two text messages.

[Come up]

[Where are you?]

Tang Yanqi’s finger hovered over the phone number, ready to call back, but her phone rang first. Seeing the caller ID, she narrowed her eyes and answered, "Aunt..."

Mrs. Sheng was sitting in her car, parked at a small alley around the corner from the Shengshi Group’s backdoor. Before long, Tang Yanqi appeared from inside, opened the car door, and got in.

In the cramped car, it was just the two of them, and the atmosphere was tense and stagnant. Mrs. Sheng stared straight ahead and spoke directly, "Tang Yanqi, let me be honest. It’s impossible for me to like you. I will never like the daughter of a murderer. If you really want me to accept you, you’ll have to agree to two conditions."

"Please go ahead."

"First, if you ever divorce Jianan due to your own reasons, I won’t allow you to take any of Shengshi’s shares. Second, since you are currently working at Shengshi, I don’t want any rumors affecting Jianan. Therefore, you must not reveal your identity until I accept you."

As for Shengshi’s shares, she had never intended to take them. Her previous words were just a strategic move to show she wasn’t easy to bully. Regarding her identity, openly revealing it would actually cause her more trouble.

Tang Yanqi nodded. "I agree to your terms."

"Good. As an exchange, our previous agreement will be nullified, and I won’t tell Jianan about your mother. Make sure you take care of yourself."

Tang Yanqi got out of the car and watched as Mrs. Sheng’s car drove away, exhaling a long breath.

After this delay, Tang Yanqi returned to the office half an hour past her starting time.

As she walked in, she ran into Yu Shasha coming out from inside.

Yu Shasha sneered at her and spoke sarcastically, "Oh, if it isn’t Miss Tang. Your airs are getting bigger and bigger. You’ve only been working a few days and already daring to be late."

Tang Yanqi didn’t want to engage with her and sidestepped to her desk. Yu Shasha pursed her lips tightly, glaring at her with a cold glint in her eyes.

Jealousy between women often arises inexplicably, like a flood, wishing the other would disappear from the face of the earth.
