I don't understand

"Oh? So you all have a pretty good relationship with Shiyao?"

Su Wanwan's gaze slowly swept over the four people in front of her as she chatted casually, but her eyes held a subtle scrutiny.

Lin Weiwei, Jin Yuxi, and the others were all on guard.

What exactly is the relationship between this young lady and Qu Shiyao?

They seem to know each other well, but it's like we don't have a direct way to contact each other?

Could it be that Qu Shiyao did something to offend her, making the young lady unable to forget her but too embarrassed to contact her directly?

Judging from this, it doesn't seem like there's any grudge, after all, Su Wanwan just praised Qu Shiyao to the point that she was completely unlike herself.

But... what if?

"Of course!" Jin Yuxi decided to take the gamble, immediately straightened her back, and put on a proud smile.

"Shiyao once said that I was her best friend! She even said that meeting me was the greatest blessing she had ever received!"

She spoke in an exaggerated manner, but her eyes were secretly observing Su Wanwan's reaction.

"Is that so?" Su Wanwan seemed to be more interested, leaning forward slightly to signal her to continue.

Seeing that the young lady showed no displeasure but instead seemed quite interested, the others also spoke up, trying to prove that they had a close relationship with Qu Shiyao.

Zhang Li tossed her hair and smiled charmingly: "I'm her senior in the workplace. When she first came to the 66th floor, she would always ask me first if she had any problems."

"I'm her proper senior!" Lin Weiwei immediately glared at Zhang Li, unconvinced, and interjected, "She respectfully calls me Senior Lin!"

"Heh..." Zhang Li chuckled softly, her tone gentle but her words utterly blunt.

"That's probably your misconception. Shiyao is very polite to everyone; she's just being polite by keeping her distance."

Their gazes clashed in mid-air, a series of flashes of light, before they simultaneously let out a cold snort and turned their heads away.

Wang Qian's response was concise and to the point, her tone as calm as ever: "Shiyao and I are colleagues with a pretty good relationship."

This is probably the closest to the truth among them.

Su Wanwan didn't interrupt at all, just listened with an ambiguous smile on her face as they eagerly tried to establish a connection.

After Wang Qian finished speaking, she leaned back lazily, the back of her chair making a slight sound.

She continued to smile, but her gaze slowly swept over the four of them, her voice carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible, sense of pressure:

"Really? But it doesn't sound like it to me at all. It sounds more like what the last person said, that they're just ordinary colleagues?"

The smile remained on his face, but the intimidating tone suddenly intensified, as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on the four of them, causing their relaxed nerves to tighten again.

"Just a regular colleague?" Jin Yuxi was the first to jump out in protest.

Although there was some exaggeration earlier, her relationship with Qu Shiyao is definitely better than that of the other three fake besties! How can they be generalized?

"Miss Su, you're mistaken! My relationship with Shiyao is genuinely good!"

Su Wanwan raised an eyebrow and turned her gaze to Jin Yuxi.

This girl is quite pretty, with bright, darting eyes; she seems to have a lot of clever ideas.

Would Qu Shiyao get along well with this type of person?

She recalled her brief encounter with Qu Shiyao; the other woman was polite yet distant, even hesitating when she extended an olive branch…

How could I be calling this seemingly unreliable girl my sister?

“Sure,” Su Wanwan casually pointed at her, her posture languid and somewhat nonchalant.

"Then tell me, what kind of person is Shiyao? Tell the truth."

Jin Yuxi suddenly stopped.

Tell the truth? Are you saying that Qu Shiyao is greedy for money, has a bad mouth and deserves a beating, is fond of eating melons, and has no moral integrity?

Just now, Miss praised Qu Shiyao as an upright, kind, principled, and morally upright fairy!

If she tells the truth now, will she be accused of slander and dragged out the next second?

Jin Yuxi screamed inwardly: "Shiyao, Shiyao! What kind of bewitching potion did you give this young lady? You didn't even give me a heads-up beforehand! This is a death trap!"

“Shiyao, she… uh…” Jin Yuxi began with difficulty, trying to find a safe yet ambiguous point.

"You like money?" There's nothing wrong with liking money, right? A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way! Although Qu Shiyao's methods of acquiring it are often unconventional.

Su Wanwan's smile faded slightly, and her eyes darkened.

Likes money? That doesn't sound like the Qu Shiyao she knows who would refuse an exorbitant salary without hesitation.

She began to seriously doubt that the woman in front of her was making things up.

Jin Yuxi's heart pounded as she watched Su Wanwan's face turn cold in an instant.

She didn't understand why Lin Weiwei was so scared just now, but now she does!

This young lady has an innocent-looking baby face, but when she puts on a serious face, her aura is absolutely terrifying!

She braced herself and continued to probe: "You...you still like to join in the fun?" Watching the drama unfold is only human nature, isn't it?

Su Wanwan's gaze sharpened as she stared intently at Jin Yuxi, as if to say: Keep making things up, let's see how many more slanderous things you can come up with.

Jin Yuxi felt a chill run down her spine from the stare, swallowed hard, and almost instinctively searched for words:

"...She always has some pretty unique ideas?" That should be considered a good point, right?

"Oh? Tell me how it's novel?" Su Wanwan seemed slightly satisfied with this evaluation, elegantly picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and gestured for her to continue.

Seeing that the young lady's complexion hadn't worsened, Jin Yuxi breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly grasped at this straw:

"For example, last time we went to the beach for team building, everyone brought swimsuits, but she bought a diving suit, went down and caught a bunch of seafood to have with us..."

"And regarding this recent incident of being falsely accused and bullied, far from being afraid, on the contrary... on the contrary, she persuaded and educated all those who came to cause trouble..."

She cleverly replaced "extortion" with the more palatable "persuasion and education".

The first part sounded like something Qu Shiyao would do, but when it came to "persuasive education," Su Wanwan frowned slightly, feeling that this style didn't quite fit.

but……

"I heard that this incident was caused by the rumor about Shiyao's boss's true love?" Su Wanwan asked casually.

Jin Yuxi and the others' expressions immediately turned strange.

They exchanged glances, and the same thought simultaneously crossed their minds:

Does this eldest daughter of the Su family really have feelings for President Si? She pursued him so openly before, but now she's so calmly talking about true love?

Su Wanwan was initially confused by their strange expressions, but then she suddenly realized what was going on.

Qu Shiyao's direct superior is none other than Si Cheng!

She recalled Qu Shiyao's disgusted look when she complained about her boss, which suggested that Si Cheng did indeed change girlfriends frequently...

She originally thought it was just a rich young man having fun, since family marriages prioritize interests and don't care much about such romantic affairs, as long as the man isn't stupid and has the ability.

I never expected that he would engage in such a disgraceful act as writing about body doubles.

"What exactly happened?" Su Wanwan still found it hard to believe. Si Cheng didn't seem like such a sentimental and brainless person.

This is a long story, and they can't explain it in just a few words.

“Ms. Su, we have a group chat with some chat logs and gossip… uh, information!” Zhang Li took out her phone at the opportune moment, unlocked it, and handed it over.

Su Wanwan took the phone, and the screen displayed the group chat interface of "A Loving Family".

The top record shows Qu Shiyao showing off with various nicknames in the group. Scrolling down further, you can also see some screenshots of chat logs leaked from that radical fan group.

She found it quite novel to watch Qu Shiyao act like an emperor in the group chat, throwing her weight around and making Lin Weiwei furious.

This is quite a contrast to the calm, sharp, and somewhat aloof Qu Shiyao she had met before.

She scrolled down with great interest, watching them banter and undermine each other, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

However, as she continued scrolling down to the latest news, the smile on her face froze instantly.

The latest news clearly records how they guessed her identity, how they stirred up trouble for Lin Weiwei, and how they described her as a paratrooper...

Lin Weiwei, who clearly recognized her a long time ago, was just pretending to be stupid!

Zhang Li, who was standing next to her, caught a glimpse of the screen out of the corner of her eye and was instantly terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat that soaked her back.

This is practically like dancing wildly in front of the person in question! She wanted nothing more than to snatch the phone back right then and there!

Just as Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes, preparing to carefully observe how they were gossiping about her.

Zhang Li, emboldened by some unknown source, suddenly stretched out her finger, quickly tapped the screen, exited the current group chat, and then swiftly entered another group chat called "SC Internal Gossip Group".

Zhang Li's voice was a little strained as she forcibly changed the subject.

"In addition to those, we have also collected some past stories about President Si and his true love, which may help to understand the cause of this matter."

Su Wanwan glanced at her but didn't say anything.

She had already seen most of what she needed to see.

Now her biggest question is the same as Lin Weiwei's and the others' – how did Qu Shiyao know she was coming?

She was assigned to work by her elders on a whim, without any prior notice.

Her gaze returned to her phone screen, and she began browsing the stories about Si Cheng and Shen Qingyi from high school to university.

From initially being indifferent, I later found myself thoroughly enjoying it.

In summary, Sicheng has quite a few dark histories.

What particularly annoyed her was that he supposedly obtained his first pot of gold for starting his business from another woman who admired him, without telling his then-girlfriend Shen Qingyi.

Just as Su Wanwan was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, Zhang Li secretly gave Lin Weiwei a complicated look that seemed to say, "Good luck to you" and "I did my best."

Lin Weiwei felt uncomfortable under Zhang Li's gaze, sensing that her eyes were full of provocation and schadenfreude.

"Okay! I think I understand!"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Wanwan finally put her phone back on the table, and that enigmatic smile returned to her face.

Her gaze swept over the four people who stood there, trembling with fear, and she said in a light tone, "Aren't you Shiyao's good friends? Then after get off work this afternoon, shouldn't we go see her together?"

"Huh?" Jin Yuxi was the first to not react, her face full of question marks.

Miss's attitude changed way too quickly!

Just a moment ago they were doubting their relationship with Shiyao, and now they're arranging a visit for them in the hospital?

"Of course I'll go!" Zhang Li, being experienced in interpersonal relationships, immediately understood the message.

Regardless of whether they were before, they must be now!

Moreover, I have to go to the hospital visit this afternoon, whether I want to or not!

"We were just discussing going there after get off work!"

At this moment, Qu Shiyao was nestled on the sofa, leisurely talking on the phone with Yi Yu.

While she was discussing whether to have braised pork ribs or steamed sea bass for dinner, she had no idea that she had been completely sold out by her four "good friends" in the office.

What's even more unexpected is that the baby-faced young lady who tried to pelt her with money at the alleyway yesterday and Su Wanwan who parachuted into the office today are actually the same person.
