21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.

Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...

Chapter 149

In the entire office, the only person who had any grudge against Lin Bingchun was Lin Lina, so it's no wonder that Lin Bingchun directly targeted Lin Lina.

Seeing everyone looking at her with suspicion, Lin Lina immediately became agitated, and an angry expression appeared on her face: "What are you looking at? I said it wasn't me, so it wasn't me! Believe it or not, it's up to you."

After speaking, Lin Lina sat back down in her seat, holding a pen and scribbling on a piece of paper, looking very busy, without facing Lin Bingchun directly.

Seeing Lin Lina's stubborn refusal to admit anything, Lin Bingchun was at a loss for what to do with her. She could only grit her teeth, pick up the messy document, and sit back down in her seat.

After a long silence, Lin Bingchun couldn't help but blurt out, "What bad luck! To have to share an office with such an unlucky guy."

Xu Xinchen frowned, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

What Xu Xinchen didn't know was that, besides Lin Lina causing her trouble, there were also people causing her trouble on Chen Ningsheng's side.

Chen Ningsheng stared expressionlessly at Li Xueyan, who stood in front of him, looking at him with a pitiful expression.

"Ning Sheng." Li Xueyan called Chen Ning Sheng's name softly, her eyes looking even more vulnerable: "Why are you like this? Don't you believe what I said?"

Chen Ningsheng remained expressionless, shrugged, and retorted, "What do you want me to believe?"

Li Xueyan bit her lip and said to Chen Ningsheng, "I just told you, Lu Minshi was at the Bai yesterday..."

She was acting very intimately with a man inside the department store. Judging from their demeanor, their relationship is definitely more than just casual. You'd better be very careful and watchful of her.

Chen Ningsheng said "Oh," and then asked, "And then?"

Li Xueyan was surprised that even though Lu Minshi had done something that resembled cheating on Chen Ningsheng, Chen Ningsheng could still remain so calm. For a moment, she was unsure whether she should continue the conversation.

After thinking for a while, Li Xueyan could only put on a pitiful look again and said to Chen Ningsheng, "Ningsheng, don't you believe me? But what I said is true. I really saw it with my own eyes yesterday."

Chen Ningsheng didn't interrupt Li Xueyan. He wanted to see what Li Xueyan was trying to do by coming to his company so early in the morning and saying so many strange things.

“Lu Minshi was chatting and laughing with that man, and she even bought him a pair of glasses. The man’s clothes looked very ordinary. Ning Sheng, you’d better be careful with Lu Minshi. I suspect she’s after your money.”

Li Xueyan told Chen Ningsheng what she had seen yesterday, adding some unfounded details to make Chen Ningsheng dislike Xu Xinchen.

Her meaning was quite clear: Xu Xinchen was with Chen Ningsheng for his money, and that she was actually having an affair, which she was supporting with the money Chen Ningsheng gave her.

But to Li Xueyan's surprise, after listening to her entire story, Chen Ningsheng gave her a cold look and said the same bland question as before: "And then?"

Li Xueyan could no longer hold back. She slammed her hands on the desk and shouted at Chen Ningsheng.

"And then what? Don't you think she's gone too far? She's already with you, but she's still seeing other men outside."

Chen Ningsheng said "Oh" again: "If you don't have anything else, then please go back first. I still have a lot to do."

Li Xueyan was filled with resentment. She glared at Chen Ningsheng's face and said fiercely, "Chen Ningsheng, there are so many good women in this world, why do you have to hang yourself on such a shameless tree?"

"Smack."

Chen Ningsheng slammed his hand on the table and said coldly to Li Xueyan, "Apologize now, and get out of here right now."

Li Xueyan was startled by the sound of Chen Ningsheng slamming his hand on the table, and a look of fear appeared on her face. When she saw Chen Ningsheng's appearance, she felt even more panicked.

But in Li Xueyan's view, she hadn't said anything wrong. Xu Xinchen was indeed trying on glasses with another man, and they were chatting and laughing. This behavior was clearly no different from cheating, so why couldn't she say it?

Chen Ningsheng's expression was cold. Seeing that Li Xueyan was just biting her lip and showed no sign of remorse, he immediately felt a surge of anger: "Fine, you don't have to apologize. Get out of here now."

Although he said that, Chen Ningsheng had made up his mind that if Li Xueyan dared to run away without saying a word of apology, then he would not be polite to her.

Li Xueyan failed to detect the anger in Chen Ningsheng's words. After being repeatedly told to get lost by Chen Ningsheng, a sense of defiance arose in Li Xueyan's heart.

So she picked up her bag from the chair, turned around, and snorted, "What's so great about that? I'm not..."

"Tell me the truth, if you're still unwilling to investigate, then don't blame me if you end up being cheated on."

Chen Ningsheng watched as Li Xueyan left without offering a single word of apology, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. Once Li Xueyan had completely disappeared, he immediately picked up the phone on the table and made an internal call.

"Go check it out for me..."

After explaining everything, Chen Ningsheng put the microphone back in its place, sat back in his chair, adjusted his breathing, and slowly calmed the anger in his heart.

If Li Xueyan had appeared earlier, Chen Ningsheng might have had some doubts about Xu Xinchen's intentions. However, since Li Xueyan appeared now and spoke ill of Xu Xinchen to Chen Ningsheng, there could only be one outcome: she would be ruthlessly kicked out by Chen Linsheng.

Meanwhile, Xu Xinchen knew nothing about what had happened at Chen Ningsheng's company. After the incident in the morning, everything had been calm and nothing had happened, so Xu Xinchen dismissed her ominous premonition, thinking that she was just overthinking things.

During lunchtime, Xu Xinchen simply took Lin Bingchun outside the company, instead of going into the cafeteria to face that annoying Lin Lina.
