Chapter 63 Lily's Background
Lily's eyes darted around, and her heart was pounding.
She felt she was getting close to the truth; all the clues told her that Qin Ce's identity was not simple.
Moreover, it is extremely complex.
If we can't stop them from moving, then we'll have to find another way to get some benefits from Qin Ce.
So Lily went directly to S&C Company.
Qin Ce had just finished a meeting in the morning when he received an internal call from the front desk. The front desk told him that a woman had come to see him and had made an appointment.
"What's your name?"
Qin Ce couldn't remember which woman he had booked.
The receptionist said, "She said her name was Lily."
Qin Ce frowned. This woman had actually come all the way to the company.
He was about to ask the receptionist to send the person away when he realized that the receptionist's phone call had already exposed his identity.
If he kicks her out now, and she goes around spreading rumors, it will disrupt his plans.
Thinking of this, Qin Ce said in a deep voice, "Take her to the conference room."
"OK."
Lily looked at the receptionist expectantly and asked, "How is it?"
"Miss, please come with me." The receptionist smiled slightly at her, but her eyes were secretly sizing up Lily.
This woman, dressed in high-quality counterfeit goods, somehow managed to get to know the CEO. However, a few days ago, she heard rumors that the CEO had gotten married and that his wife was very mysterious.
The receptionist wondered to herself, "Could this be the woman?"
Thinking of this, the receptionist's smile deepened, and she became even more respectful and ingratiating.
The receptionist led Lily to the conference room and even prepared coffee and various drinks for her. If nothing unexpected happened, this person was very likely her boss's wife, so she naturally had to curry favor with her.
Lily waited happily in the conference room, but she hadn't seen Qin Ce all morning.
However, she met Han Yan, who told her that President Qin was busy and asked her to wait a while.
Lily couldn't stand being in the meeting room any longer, so she went outside and wandered around the floor. Many of the company's employees were secretly glancing at her.
This was a new face, and she didn't seem like a new employee. Moreover, someone saw Han Yan personally go to the conference room to greet her.
It seems this woman is of high status.
Lily felt uncomfortable being stared at by those people, and slunk back into the meeting room, fully aware of the high-quality counterfeit she was wearing.
Unlike outside, where people can easily spot her high-quality counterfeit clothing, here she is dressed in a fake.
Qin Ce left her waiting in the conference room all day, and just when Lily was about to lose her temper, Qin Ce finally arrived.
She saw Qin Ce walk in, wearing the same suit he wore that morning, his long, straight legs swaying. The sunlight streaming through the window shone on his face, giving him the illusion of being bathed in holy light.
Qin Ce was already handsome, and now with this new identity, Lily found him even more strikingly handsome.
Even the coldness in his eyes and brows seemed reasonable; one felt that such a man should be cold and serious.
Qin Ce caught a glimpse of the infatuation in her eyes, and his disgust intensified.
"Speak, what do you want?" Qin Ce sat down opposite her, looking at her expressionlessly.
Lily rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at him. This man was really handsome.
"If you're not going to say anything, I'm leaving." Qin Ce was already getting impatient; Qiao Xing was coming to pick him up from get off work soon.
Lily quickly snapped out of her daze and said, "No, no, I need to talk to you about something."
Qin Ce glanced down at his watch. "You have five minutes left."
His businesslike and aggressive manner, every word he uttered, resonated deeply with Lily, causing her heart to race.
Lily hadn't felt this heart-fluttering feeling in a long time.
Lily smiled confidently and said, "You've been hiding your true intentions so well, I almost fell for your tricks."
Qin Ce leaned back in his chair, looking at her indifferently without saying a word.
Lily continued, "Actually, I just want to ask you, why do you hide such an impressive identity?"
"Wait, if you're so capable, why would you marry Qiao Xing? That woman isn't even that pretty."
Lily, seemingly oblivious to his darkening expression, continued, "I used to see scenes on TV where rich young masters would hide their identities and date ordinary girls. You wouldn't be like that, would you?"
"To find true love?" Lily laughed at herself. "What an old-fashioned method. There are so many girls you could choose from, why did you pick Qiao Xing, right?"
As she said her last sentence, Lily flirtatiously tossed her hair and said, "Could you answer that for me?"
She stared at Qin Ce for a long time, but Qin Ce didn't say anything.
The way Qin Ce looked at her had an indescribable feeling, and for a moment, Lily felt that she was not worthy of being seen in public.
But she quickly suppressed it.
"Say something!"
Qin Ce said, "What does this have to do with you?"
He said just that, and Lily was so angry she almost choked.
"If you won't tell me, then I'll go tell Qiao Xing!"
Qin Ce's forehead veins throbbed.
Lily added, "If I tell Qiao Xing, wouldn't your goal of finding true love have failed?"
"Hu Li." Qin Ce actually called her by her real name.
Lily paused, her smile fading slightly. "What did you say?"
"Hu Li, is that your real name? Before you started dating Wang Ye, you had a total of seven relationships, the shortest lasting a month and the longest lasting half a year. Wang Ye is probably the one you dated the longest."
“You didn’t graduate from a vocational college. During your college years, you were cheating on three men at the same time, swindling money from your boyfriends to buy you bags and phones. In your junior year, you were kept by a 40-year-old man.”
With each word Qin Ce spoke, Lily's face paled a little more.
Qin Ce continued, "After you were kept by a man for half a year, his wife came to your school, and you were slapped in public. The whole school knew that you were being kept by an older man, and your affair with three men was exposed."
"After you were expelled from school, you went to work at a club..."
"Alright, stop talking!" Lily interrupted him, her face pale and her whole body trembling slightly.
Because she was frightened, she didn't expect Qin Ce to be able to dig up so much about her background.
He even dug up things from their school days, so he must know about what happened afterward.
She had abortions, and more than one. She had swindled money from those men, ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands, and sometimes even hundreds of thousands.
Some of these men were married.
Lily's gaze towards Qin Ce was different now; she was no longer relaxed, but only fearful.
Yes, how could someone so capable not have her background, and how could she be so easily manipulated?
She was so naive. It was all because Qin Ce lived in that kind of dilapidated house that she had the illusion that Qin Ce was no different from an ordinary person.
"How...how did you find out?" Lily asked, her face pale.
