"Get up to speed quickly. Helping your sister-in-law is helping me. Now, go out." Leng Linli said, waving his hand to signal Bai Lian to leave.
Bai Lian raised her eyes, her gaze meeting Leng Linli's, which were filled with tears: "...Okay, brother."
Bai Lian clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. It turned out that Leng Linli had only agreed to let her work at Leng Corporation last night because of Yan Zhi!
It's ridiculous to make a naive and innocent girl like her work as an assistant to a secretary!
Bai Lian was unwilling to accept this, but had no choice but to continue to endure hardship and bide her time.
Bai Lian knew Leng Linli's personality all too well; once he made up his mind, no one could change it unless he himself wanted to.
Bai Lian turned and left Leng Linli's office, the gloom in her heart lingering.
She bit her lip hard, her eyes narrowed, and a ruthless glint flashed in them.
Since it wouldn't work with Leng Linli, she would have to start with Yan Zhi.
Giving up is out of the question; she still has leverage. If she doesn't go all in, who knows what the outcome will be!
Bai Lian went to the tea room and overheard Su Rao and Yan Zhi's conversation.
Sure enough, Yan Zhi was the only one in the tea room at this time.
Yan Zhi clutched her lower abdomen, leaning on the table, her breathing a little unsteady. The painkillers were working quickly, and she was gradually recovering.
However, this pain also exhausted most of Yan Zhi's energy. She felt very weak, and her tired eyelids twitched. Suddenly, Bai Lian's figure came into view.
Yan Zhi sighed. She knew a heated argument was about to break out, so she casually placed her phone on the cup.
Bai Lian stood haughtily beside Yan Zhi, her gaze disdainfully fixed on the person slumped over the table, a slight smirk playing on her lips: "Secretary Yan was just showing me the employee handbook, and here she is, slacking off."
Yan Zhi propped herself up and rubbed her temples. All she wanted to do now was rest. Thinking about what she would face next, Yan Zhi couldn't help but regret that she should have listened to Aunt Nan earlier and asked for leave when she should have.
"Assistant Bai, it seems you haven't been reading the employee handbook properly since you came over at this time. By the way, does Grandma know you've returned to China?" Yan Zhi's voice was indifferent as she smiled at Bai Lian with a slight twitch of her lips.
Her name is Yan Zhi, but she is not naive. She does not do evil to others, but she knows how to hurt Bai Lian.
Touched on a sore spot, Bai Lian's face turned pale instantly.
Bai Lian's face fell, and she dropped the pretense, getting straight to the point: "When are you finally getting a divorce? I've never seen such a shameless and persistent woman like you."
That's what she said, but deep down Bai Lian knew exactly who didn't want a divorce, which made her feel even worse.
Bai Lian was obedient and docile in front of Leng Linli and the others, but now that Leng Linli is not around, her true colors have been revealed.
Yan Zhi had seen all of Bai Lian's ugly sides, right there in her and Leng Linli's bridal chamber.
Yan Zhi wasn't angry. She smiled faintly and said, "You should ask President Leng why I'm not divorced yet, not me."
Bai Lian's eyes flickered, and she sneered, "Yan Zhi, do you think I would believe your nonsense? It must be because you can't bear to part with my brother's money and power that you keep shamelessly pestering me."
At this point, Bai Lian paused, her tone turning sinister: "Don't think that just because you used your seductive tricks, he will be bewitched by you."
Yan Zhi smiled, her smile tinged with sarcasm.
She looked up, meeting Bai Lian's gaze, and smiled faintly, "Assistant Bai, then please keep a close eye on President Leng and make sure he's not bewitched by me again."
Damn it, this woman is always so sharp-tongued. She can never gain the upper hand verbally... But it doesn't matter if she can't gain the upper hand. At least she said what she needed to say, and she achieved her goal. Thinking this way, Bai Lian felt a little better.
Bai Lian crossed her arms and adopted a haughty posture: "I've seen plenty of women like you. You're with him just for his money. What else can you give him besides money?"
Yan Zhi looked at Bai Lian and suddenly smiled. Leng Linli and Bai Lian were indeed lovers; their postures were exactly the same, always so aloof and superior.
Yan Zhi smiled and said, "What can I give President Leng? You might as well ask President Leng himself, and you'll know everything."
The best thing a woman can give a man is her body. Seeing Yan Zhi's smug smile, Bai Lian couldn't help but recall the sounds she had overheard outside their room.
Bai Lian couldn't possibly be unaware that those were the sounds of men and women making love.
Bai Lian stayed at Moon Bay for half a month. During that time, that bitch Yan Zhi must have seduced Leng Linli many times. Bai Lian often heard those movements and sounds from the next room, sometimes during the day and sometimes at night.
One time, the noise lasted from nightfall until dawn. That night, she couldn't resist any longer and secretly opened their bedroom door...
Peeking through the crack in the door, she saw Yan Zhi's hands tied to the headboard with a tie, and her cold, stern face buried in Yan Zhi's...
Bai Lian never expected that someone as aloof and noble as Leng Linli would be willing to do such a thing for a woman.
In the past, she would occasionally hold his hand and act coquettishly, but Leng Linli would glare at her with disgust. Bai Lian could only silently withdraw her hand. Later, she dared not touch him again, because he would be unhappy if she did.
Thinking of this, Bai Lian became insanely jealous.
She had always thought that Leng Linli was indifferent to women, but it turned out that he wasn't indifferent to women, but rather that he hadn't met the person who would make him indifferent to women.
That self-disciplined and proper person was surprisingly fierce and open in bed.
"You... shameless!" Bai Lian clenched her fists, her face turning green.
Seeing Bai Lian's reaction, Yan Zhi knew that she must have imagined something she shouldn't have. What you think in your mind is what you see. Yan Zhi was too lazy to explain and let Bai Lian continue to misunderstand. Who told her to say such unpleasant things?
Bai Lian's eyes were filled with resentment: "You bitch, when are you going to get a divorce? You'd better be sensible. A lowly woman like you is not good enough for my brother."
Yan Zhi smiled faintly, but the smile in her eyes was cold and mocking: "Noble Miss Bai Lian, is what you said and did to me considered noble? Calling me a 'bitch' all the time, is this the higher education you received in high society from childhood? Is this what high society calls nobility and refinement?"
Bai Lian paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth: "I can't argue with you, you're just not good enough for my brother!"
Yan Zhi raised an eyebrow, her smile growing even brighter: "If I wasn't good enough for you, I am now. Do you think your status as the daughter of the former Leng family driver and the adopted daughter of the Leng family makes you good enough? Strictly speaking, I am the mistress of the Leng family, and you, are you even on the Leng family's household register?"
Once again, her sore spot was touched, and Bai Lian became furious and swung her hand at Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhi's eyes changed slightly, and she quickly dodged. In the struggle, Yan Zhi's wrist was grabbed and she was forcefully pulled aside.
