Chapter 152 Gu Jingcheng, I'll give you time to find out the truth.

"Mrs. Gu, why are you still renting a place?"

Bai Qianqian's face was red and white in patches, and she bit her lip tightly.

Those guys next to me who were just fawning over the white-collar workers,

To make up for his previous blunder, he hurriedly offered an explanation.

"Mr. Lin, you've misunderstood. This Miss Bai is not Mrs. Gu."

"How could Mrs. Gu possibly work as a receptionist at the company?"

"That's right, Lin Wei, please wait a moment, our CEO Gu will be down shortly."

After saying that, the group fled back to their workstations.

President Gu will be coming down soon; he's known for being very strict.

If I see them chatting and watching the fun, I'll probably have to deduct half of my performance bonus this month.

Lin Wei remained calm as she sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

Bai Qianqian looked at Lin Wei's nonchalant demeanor.

My heart is bleeding with hatred.

Lin Wei deliberately called her "Mrs. Gu," praising her highly.

This will make her fall even harder now.

She underestimated Lin Wei; on the surface, she appeared aloof and noble.

She's also quite cunning.

Bai Qianqian watched as the indicator light on her private elevator began to flash.

A smirk flashed in his eyes.

He poured a glass of warm water, a gentle smile spreading across his face.

He carried it to the reception area.

"Mr. Lin, please have some water."

The elevator doors slowly opened.

The moment Lin Wei raised her hand to take the water glass, Bai Qianqian's wrist suddenly jerked.

He splashed the entire glass of water onto his face and chest.

Then he staggered back a step, his face filled with panic and his voice trembling with tears.

"Mr. Lin, I'm so sorry."

"It was my poor hospitality, I'm sorry, please don't be angry..."

Gu Jingcheng walked to the reception area in a few steps.

Bai Qianqian's voice was so soft it could drip water.

"Brother Jingcheng...it's my fault."

I don't know what I did to upset Mr. Lin...

She threw water at me because she was angry.

Please don't blame Mr. Lin...

Lin Wei, let's see how you explain this in front of everyone.

Jingcheng hates people who bully others by taking advantage of their power.

Lin Wei watched coldly, her face remaining completely expressionless.

"Mr. Gu, it seems I'll have to install a surveillance camera on my head next time I come to your company."

"Your company's receptionist is quite the actress."

Gu Jingcheng frowned.

Seeing that Gu Jingcheng remained silent, Bai Qianqian squeezed out two tears, feeling wronged.

"Mr. Lin, I was just a little late in pouring the tea."

Even if you're angry, you can't throw things at me. I'm just a lowly receptionist.

But they also have dignity.

Gu Jingcheng's face grew increasingly gloomy.

"Qiu Cheng".

"Pull up the surveillance footage from the reception area."

"yes."

Qiu Cheng tapped the tablet a few times with his finger.

In just over ten seconds, the screen turned to Gu Jingcheng.

The screen replayed the scene from just now.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Wei's hand never touched the cup.

Gu Jingcheng glanced at the flustered Bai Qianqian.

He suppressed his emotions.

He always felt indebted to Qianqian, a debt he could never make up for.

Gu Jingcheng restrained himself and shoved the tablet back into Qiu Cheng's hands.

"Weiwei, let's go upstairs."

Lin Wei's heart sank.

Looking at Gu Jingcheng, who clearly knew everything but chose to keep quiet,

Disappointment filled my heart.

Even with irrefutable evidence, he couldn't bear to reveal his true love...

Lin Wei didn't even glance at Bai Qianqian.

"good."

In less than half an hour.

The internal employee group of Jingcheng Group already has 99+ messages.

Various sarcastic and gloating messages quickly flooded the screen.

"Shocking news! The new receptionist isn't Mrs. Gu."

“When Yao Yao and I went to the front desk, I heard President Gu say it with my own ears.”

"Oh my god, really? How could she treat the whole company to such an expensive afternoon tea?"

"Yes, and I also heard that President Gu personally instructed the HR director to process Bai Qianqian's onboarding."

"Who knows? Anyway, it's definitely not Mrs. Gu. She's still renting a place in Jiangcheng."

Why would Mrs. Gu rent a house?

"I just saw her deliberately frame President Lin for splashing water on her, but she was exposed on the spot."

"This kind of scheming woman is disgusting..."

Bai Qianqian, holding an empty water glass, stiffly walked towards the tea room.

The whispering female employees immediately fell silent.

They scattered quickly.

Bai Qianqian sneered inwardly.

She's just a sycophantic fly. Before, when I knew she was 'Mrs. Gu'...

They all practically wanted to kneel down and lick her shoes.

Now they're running faster than anyone else.

What is it?

-

General Manager's Office

Lin Wei sat on the large leather sofa.

Even though reason told her that Bai Qianqian was deliberately provoking her.

But Gu Jingcheng's attitude downstairs was like a needle.

It pierced her heart.

My chest is filled with disappointment.

She looked directly at the man opposite her.

"Gu Jingcheng, let's talk."

Looking at Lin Wei's aloof face, Gu Jingcheng felt inexplicably uneasy.

His voice was deep.

"good."

"Bai Qianqian, what happened?"

"Qianqian... I grew up with her since childhood, and she just returned to China not long ago."

Because she was out of touch with society and couldn't find a job, I let her work at the company...

If you find it inconvenient, I can have her resign.

"So you had dinner with her last night, right?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Jingcheng's face.

"Weiwei, how...how did you know?"

Lin Wei sneered inwardly.

Seeing her expressionless face and flustered expression, Gu Jingcheng sat down next to her, feeling helpless.

"Weiwei, don't misunderstand... it's just been a long time since we last met."

Lin Wei took out her phone and quickly swiped her finger across the screen.

Then turn the screen to Gu Jingcheng.

“Ever since you met Bai Qianqian, people have been sending me these messages non-stop.”

"You chose a perfect angle; you're as if you're afraid I won't see the relationship between you two."

"Is it Bai Qianqian? What is she planning to do with all this scheming?"

Don't tell me you can't tell.

Gu Jingcheng's gaze lingered on the email content, his brows furrowed.

Hearing Lin Wei point the finger at Bai Qianqian,

He subconsciously raised his eyes and explained urgently.

"Weiwei, Qianqian isn't that kind of person."

She is simple-minded and lacks cunning.

How could someone do something like sending anonymous emails behind someone's back?

There must be some misunderstanding... I'll find out.

Lin Wei felt a surge of bitterness hit her heart, and her eyes stung.

My heart has sunk to the bottom.

Gu Jingcheng never believed a single word she said from beginning to end.

Without hesitation, he chose to protect Bai Qianqian.

Lin Wei suddenly felt that her relationship with Gu Jingcheng was like a joke.

"Gu Jingcheng, do you trust her that much?"

She paused, her voice trembling slightly.

"If there were no surveillance cameras today, would you believe it too?"

Was it me who splashed water on her? Was I being unreasonable?

“Weiwei, no! I…”

Gu Jingcheng noticed her reddened eyes.

I wanted to pull her into my arms and explain.

"It's not what you think, let me explain..."

"Don't touch me."

Lin Wei's voice turned cold, and she staggered to her feet.

"Gu Jingcheng, we have nothing more to talk about."

She staggered slightly, then stood up.

Compared to Bai Qianqian, she has never been the one to be firmly chosen.

Not even once...

"Gu Jingcheng, I'll give you time to find out the truth."

The door was gently closed.

Gu Jingcheng's hand froze in mid-air.

He was the only one left in the office.

Lin Wei's eyes, filled with disappointment, kept replaying in his mind.

Gu Jingcheng never imagined that one day, because of Bai Qianqian,

A rift developed between him and Lin Wei.

...There was clearly nothing between him and Bai Qianqian.

His care for Bai Qianqian stemmed from his guilt towards her 13 years ago.

Gu Jingcheng recalled that dark memory.
