Her arrogant demeanor made it seem as if coming to this restaurant made her a superior person.

Song Mai was speechless at her arrogant attitude.

"Yes, some people really can't afford it without someone else's help, after all, your salary level... those who know, know."

Zheng Yao works at the front desk, so her salary is naturally much lower than hers.

In addition, Zheng Yao likes to dress herself up and spends money extravagantly. It's safe to say that if she relied solely on her own income, she would be lucky to avoid going into debt.

"you!"

Zheng Yao was furious and was about to rush up to argue with Song Mai when Fang Yu quickly grabbed her. He was already very displeased, his face full of anger, and he almost growled.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

Seeing that he was completely enraged, Zheng Yao felt resentful but dared not say anything more.

However, her gaze kept glancing at Chu Xing, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The man was dressed casually but looked very handsome. Zheng Yao recognized him at a glance; the shirt he was wearing alone was almost the equivalent of an average person's annual salary.

This made her even more jealous. Why did Song Mai find such high-quality men, while she could only get involved with a married man like Fang Yu?

Song Mai smiled meaningfully: "Then we won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, she took Chu Xing's arm and walked outside.

As soon as Zheng Yao sat down, she made an excuse to go to the restroom, but in reality, she secretly went outside after leaving her seat.

There were many cars parked in front of the restaurant, but no place to park electric bikes, so Song Mai's electric bike was parked quite far away.

She told Chu Xing to wait for her at the door, while she went to ride her electric scooter.

However, no sooner had Song Mai left than Zheng Yao appeared beside the man.

"Hey handsome, wanna add each other on WeChat?"

Her voice rose in pitch, carrying a hint of coquettishness, making it sound ambiguous and alluring.

Chu Xing frowned, and without turning his head, he took a few steps to the side, seemingly intentionally avoiding the situation.

Zheng Yao's smile froze for a moment, but she walked up to Chu Xing without being discouraged.

"I'm your wife's colleague, and this is your attitude?"

The man sneered, "Colleagues? Only for now."

Zheng Yao's expression immediately changed.

What do you mean by that?

Chu Xing kept his eyes straight ahead, unwilling to look at her even once more.

"Why do you need others to explain to you what you've done that you don't know yourself?"

Zheng Yao didn't know how much he really knew, but she always felt like she had nowhere to hide and could be easily seen through in front of this man.

It was as if all her actions and thoughts were crystal clear to him.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she stubbornly refused to admit it.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

The man chuckled for no apparent reason; the laugh was light and airy, but the sarcasm was incredibly strong.

"Since you don't understand, there's no need for you to waste your breath on me."

Zheng Yao had finally gotten a chance to talk to him alone, so how could she bear to give it up like this?

She stubbornly pressed herself against him:

“Let’s exchange contact information. You can contact me if your wife needs anything, or you can consider me. I’m much better than her in every way.”

"Looking for you? To give you a chance to harm her?"

Chu Xing's words were sharp; almost every sentence was a slap in the face to Zheng Yao.

If it were anyone else, Zheng Yao would never have tolerated this grievance, but this person was Chu Xing, and apart from his sharp tongue, she couldn't find any fault with him.

Zheng Yao suppressed her anger and repeatedly softened her attitude.

"Give me your contact information, I'll be leaving right away."

She was interested in Chu Xing, but the man never gave her any face, and she didn't have many opportunities to see him.

Having finally met, she naturally wanted to exchange contact information so they could stay in touch for a long time. She didn't want to have to sneak around every time she talked to him.

And it had to be done in front of Song Mai.

Chu Xing lost his patience with her pestering him, but after looking around, he still couldn't find Song Mai.

He frowned: "You want to interfere?"

He spoke bluntly, but Zheng Yao's behavior was indeed exactly like that.

Zheng Yao's expression changed, and the mask she was barely maintaining seemed about to shatter at any moment.

"Don't put it so harshly. I just can't bear to see you suffer. I've liked you since the first time I saw you. There's no good for you being with Song Mai. You've probably met her parents, right? Her family will only drag you down in the future. Besides, she's not good at anything. Her conditions in all aspects are very average. Why don't you divorce her and be with me? I can give you much more than she can."

Upon hearing this, the man feigned interest.

"Oh? You said the same thing last time, so what can you give me?"

Hearing that Chu Xing still remembered what she said last time, Zheng Yao was overjoyed, and a girlish demeanor appeared on her face.

She twisted her body to get closer to the man, the implication in her eyes was self-evident.

“We’re all adults, you know, I can do much more than Song Mai.”

"laugh--"

The man suddenly smiled, but his gaze turned to the direction behind Zheng Yao.

"Oh? Is that so? It seems your company is indeed a place for cultivating talent."

Zheng Yao was startled, then immediately realized something and subconsciously turned around, only to have her eyes meet Fang Yu's.

Fang Yu's face was as cold as iron, and his eyes seemed capable of tearing Zheng Yao to pieces.

In an instant, Zheng Yao's heart sank to the bottom.

Fang Yu gritted his teeth and said, word by word:

"This is what you meant by going to the restroom?"

Zheng Yao was terrified. Who would have thought that she would be caught red-handed by Fang Yu after only exchanging a few words with Chu Xing?

Her voice trembled slightly as she carefully explained:

“It’s not what you think… I just happened to see him standing at the door, so we chatted for a bit. What you heard was just me joking with him.”

Fang Yu grabbed Zheng Yao's wrist with such force that the woman's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak for a moment.

"Are you kidding? Do you joke like this with every man?"

"No, it's not..."

"Ha...no? So you're saying that you're just like him, that what happened before was true, and that what the other people in the company were saying was true too. You shameless scum! I believed you and protected you time and time again! I never imagined you were this despicable at heart!"

His insults were harsh, and Zheng Yao was powerless to refute them.

"I... am not... what you think..."

She was in excruciating pain and managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth.

Fang Yu no longer wanted to hear her say anything more; his good mood about having dinner with her had completely vanished.

She pulled Zheng Yao along and walked in another direction from the parking lot.

"You bitch, get out of here!"

Zheng Yao's eyes were still on Chu Xing. She was crying and looked weak and helpless, trying to evoke the man's sympathy and pity for her.
