The aloof male god returns, only for his beloved from the past.
Seven years ago, she was obsessed with chasing him, throwing herself at him, and using all sorts of little tricks.
Seven ...
She was terrified just thinking about someone so cunning and calculating.
"Why is he being so nice to me? What does he want?"
"Do you intend to lift me high up and then slam me down?"
"That must be it. That vicious Lin Congzhi. We absolutely cannot fall for his tricks again."
For these speculations to hold true, a witness is needed.
This person is the only one who knows that she has the key to the door. If Lin Congzhi wants to deduce that she is hiding in the stairwell door, he must first find out who has the key to the door today.
…
At noon, after getting her lunch, she quietly went to the receptionist's side and had lunch with her.
When the receptionist saw her, she seemed to know what she wanted to do, and was so frightened that she didn't know whether to stay or leave.
Seeing her appearance, Jiang Yimei felt there must be something wrong, so she put on a friendly and sweet smile and asked, "Xiaotong, did anyone ask you last night who took the key?"
Xiaotong, the receptionist, shook her head instinctively and replied with a hint of panic, "No!"
"No? If you don't need to look me in the eye, why are you being so evasive?"
Jiang Yimei became even more certain that the receptionist was suspicious, so she wouldn't give up until she got her answer: "Really not?"
"No!" Xiaotong continued to evade the question.
Jiang Yimei pressed further, "I heard that Manager Lin is inquiring about it?"
Upon hearing the name "Manager Lin," Xiao Tong seemed to transform completely, her tone instantly becoming incredibly firm: "Lying? Who told you that?"
The reaction is so strong, it's 90% likely.
Feeling like she was about to get the answer, Jiang Yimei stared into Xiao Tong's eyes and answered without changing her expression, "Manager Lin told me personally."
Surprisingly, this time, Xiaotong's eyes no longer darted away, but she responded confidently: "He told you? Impossible, let him come and confront me face to face."
Jiang Yimei was a little confused, wondering why this was happening.
"Could it be that the two of them have conspired together? Will they deny it once they are confronted?"
"That must be it."
A direct confrontation is definitely not an option, so the only recourse is to use a softer approach.
Like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, she changed her tone and manner to be pitiful and pathetic: "Xiaotong, we're sisters, how can you bear to see your sister being harassed by a pervert?"
"Manager Lin is a pervert? Impossible. He has such a good character, is handsome, and is a gentleman. He couldn't possibly be that kind of person."
Xiao Tong talked on and on, rejecting Jiang Yimei's words, completely unaware that she had already given herself away.
"Manager Lin, it really is him!"
Jiang Yimei's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, her small fists clenched tightly, as if she wanted revenge.
Hearing those words, which were filled with such hatred, Xiaotong snapped out of her daze and immediately covered her mouth in fright, as if she had done something wrong.
Seeing that Jiang Yimei was about to confront Manager Lin, she panicked and grabbed Jiang Yimei's hand, whose face was ashen, pleading, "Yiyi, don't go, don't go."
"Don't worry, I won't betray you," Jiang Yimei reassured her gently.
Xiaotong still wouldn't let go of her hand: "Yiyi, don't go! Don't go!"
"Xiaotong, if you're my sister, trust me and help me!"
Jiang Yimei pushed Xiaotong's hand away forcefully and stormed off to the general manager's office, not even wanting to eat a bite of food.
She wanted to expose Lin Congzhi's disgraceful behavior to the general manager and get this unethical person kicked out of the company.
