Jiang Wanqing's return was sudden. Although the factory workers knew about it, Qin Meng's informants hadn't had time to inform her.
As soon as they got off work, Shen Huan and Jiang Wanqing went straight to the state-run restaurant and found seats.
Calculating the time, Jiang Wanqing raised her wrist to check her watch and pointed behind the curtain.
"I'll go there first, and I'll come out when she arrives. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, is there anything else I need to do?"
Shen Huan was a little nervous, worried that she wouldn't be able to say anything when she saw Qin Meng later.
"Nothing needs to be done, and there's nothing to be afraid of."
"I...I understand."
Clenching her fists tightly, Shen Huan tried to reassure herself. It's alright, it will pass quickly, as long as Qin Meng comes…
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Less than two minutes later, just as she had calmed down, Qin Meng appeared before her. Seeing her pale face, she deliberately teased her a couple of times.
"Chen Huan, you don't look well. Have Jiang Wanqing been exploiting you too much?"
These words... sounded really awful, and Shen Huan instantly believed that what Jiang Wanqing had said to her in the office was true.
She composed herself, her eyes unconsciously glancing behind the curtain as she looked at Qin Meng with feigned composure.
"Yes...yes, I've been busy with work lately, so I'm a bit tired. Molly almost miscarried, and Hung Hing is with her at the hospital to help her recover. So I'm all alone. It's strange, but this incident feels a bit absurd to me. How could a pregnant woman suddenly decide to go back to the factory to work? This shouldn't have happened."
Shen Huan was getting into the swing of things, and her acting was so good that even Jiang Wanqing behind the curtain was surprised. Sure enough, Qin Meng had already believed her to a large extent.
"There aren't that many coincidences in this world. Jiang Wanqing went out on an inspection tour, something happened at the factory, and of course, Molly had an accident. Don't you think there's a connection between these things?"
Qin Meng leaned forward slightly, pulled Shen Huan's hand over, and told her mysteriously.
“I heard from Molly that Jiang Wanqing intended to replace her to save on a favor and let Duan Xiaowan take her place. That’s why she got anxious and went back to the factory to demand an explanation. It just so happened that you weren’t there that day, and that’s when that thing happened…sigh.”
She shook her head as she spoke, looking regretful. If Shen Huan hadn't known about the situation before coming, she probably would have been tricked by her.
She picked up her teacup and took a sip to calm herself down. Looking at Qin Meng now, she felt like she was looking at a complete stranger, as if she had never known her before…
"Really? Is it really like that?"
"certainly……"
Just as Qin Meng was about to intensify her offensive and take down Shen Huan herself, Jiang Wanqing walked out from behind the curtain, her face grim and cold.
"Of course what? Go on, tell me!"
"You... what are you doing here?" When Qin Meng saw her, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and hurriedly got up to leave.
Jiang Wanqing grabbed her shoulder, sat down next to her, preventing her from leaving, stared straight at her, and snorted.
"If I weren't here, I wouldn't have known that the changes you've undergone in this period of time have made you unrecognizable in our eyes, capable of sowing discord, spreading rumors, and distorting the truth... I never knew you had such potential!"
The more she talked, the angrier she became. Since things could never go back to the way they were before, and they had completely broken up, Jiang Wanqing decided not to be polite anymore and was determined to get an explanation today.
Qin Meng gritted her teeth, looked at Shen Huan, her eyes filled with anger and surprise.
"You deliberately lured me out! Shen Huan, you never intended to work for me; you're just Jiang Wanqing's dog!"
Just moments ago, she was all smiles and saying nice things, but now she's hysterically accusing her. Shen Huan was so angry she almost laughed. Her anger flared up, and she started speaking fluently.
"Yes, we did it on purpose. I never intended to work for you because you're dishonest, jealous, and incompetent! If I worked for you, who knows what my fate would be! Can you honestly say that Molly's accident has nothing to do with you?"
"It wasn't me who pushed her!" Qin Meng shouted. "You should ask Jiang Wanqing what kind of person that Duan Xiaowan she appointed is, trying to replace Molly and committing murder!"
"You're talking nonsense! It was clearly you who deliberately went to Molly's house and the hospital to instigate her, making her mistakenly believe that Wanqing had abandoned her. That's why she went to the factory to work despite being pregnant to prove herself. I wasn't there that day, but that doesn't prove that I can't distinguish right from wrong!"
Finally, having vented his anger, Shen Huan let out a long breath and looked at Qin Meng.
"How...how did you know..."
"Of course, it's because Molly has woken up from your lies, and Duan Xiaowan isn't as bad as you think. Not everyone is like you!"
Jiang Wanqing's words made Qin Meng's pupils shrink sharply. So, her self-righteous cleverness was actually a lie; the other party hadn't fallen for it at all.
"You're so high and mighty! You think you're so great! Fine, since we've come this far, I'll stop pretending! That's right, I want to steal everyone around you, Jiang Wanqing, one by one! I want to take advantage of your vulnerability and dismantle you all! Why should they all follow your lead? Why should the person I like still like you even after you're married?! Ever since we were in school, you've been condescendingly giving us handouts, making us work for you, and now you want to do the same thing again? I'm telling you, no way! Sister-in-law Guihua is right, you have the face of a capitalist..."
With a slap, Qin Meng's face was turned to the side; it was Shen Huan who delivered the slap.
After she finished hitting him, she couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at her palm. She had actually hit someone...
"Look, I've only said a few words, and you're protecting her like she's your master. Shen Huan, you're even more loyal than Molly! Hahaha..."
Qin Meng covered her face, then quickly put it down, revealing a handprint, and stood up frantically.
"It's not that I'm protecting her, it's that Wanqing deserves it!" Shen Huan's hands trembled with anger. "You always think she's targeting you, but you're not worthy of her considering you an opponent! Your little schemes are nothing to us!"
Shen Huan could be very hurtful, so Jiang Wanqing quickly pressed her hand down to calm her down.
She's still out there, and if people see her, it won't be good for her reputation.
"Qin Meng, you shouldn't have laid a hand on Molly, a pregnant woman. I swear I didn't hinder you in any way during the time your factory failed, but after today, I'll block every step you take. This is the end you deserve!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanqing took Shen Huan's hand and said, "Let's go."
The bench tilted up, and Qin Meng lost her balance and fell to the ground. She covered her face and sobbed, not understanding why this had happened. She had planned everything perfectly!
But it was too late for her to go back. She slowly got up, staring at the direction where Jiang Wanqing and the others had disappeared, her lips trembling.
"I am your sworn enemy! Even if it means fighting to the death, I will fight!"
