She was the only one who knew the secret of Gao Huai writing the letter of denunciation, but she absolutely could not tell it out. If Si Mingda and Wang Mudan knew that it was Gao Huai who wrote the letter of denunciation, they would not be grateful but would suspect that she was in cahoots with Gao Huai. Now, she could only bear the consequences of her own actions.
Si Mingda's cold rejection made Luo Yingtao completely hopeless, but she was unwilling to be misunderstood by them, nor did she want to bear the blame for nothing. She wanted to clear herself of the injustice.
She thought that Wang Mudan was always sensible and kind, and that talking to her might help clear up the misunderstanding. Even if their friendship could not return to the days of K University, at least they should not put this heavy blame on her.
With a nervous heart, Luo Yingtao tried to dial Wang Mudan's number. Surprisingly, the call went through. She couldn't help but feel ecstatic. She said cautiously, almost flatteringly, "Mudan, how are you?"
Disappointingly, Wang Mudan's voice on the other end of the line wasn't as warm and easygoing as before. Instead, it was like stir-frying beans, nearly shattering her eardrums. "Luo Yingtao, you're incredible! Even after all this, you still have the nerve to call me? Don't you think my family hasn't been ruined enough by you? If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, just show me. I'm waiting to see your ugly performance."
Wang Mudan's barrage of scolding nearly suffocated Luo Yingtao. She instinctively wanted to hang up, but to clear her name, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and "fight back." "Mudan, I've already explained to you before that I certainly didn't write the report. I'll say it again today. I have no motive to frame you. If I did, I'd die a miserable death. Are you satisfied with this?"
Luo Yingtao's self-curse did not win Wang Mudan's sympathy. On the contrary, her tone rose several decibels:
"That's enough, Luo Yingtao, put away your hypocritical performance. You are a venomous snake with a human face and a beast's heart. No man who has anything to do with you will be spared. You are a calamity star from heaven. Stay away from my house from now on. I don't want to have anything to do with a disgusting woman like you. Simingda was blind and deceived by you. Do you think I will be fooled by you like him?"
Wang Mudan's harsh words woke Luo Yingtao from her fantasy dream. Due to her awkward relationship with Si Mingda, no matter how she explained, she could not eliminate their misunderstanding of her, let alone expect them to help persuade those customs account customers to maintain cooperation. At this point, she could not clear herself of suspicion even if she had a mouth all over her body.
"Mudan, I know you hate me. Even if I jump into the Yellow River, I can't wash it away. Anyway, that letter wasn't written by me. Believe it or not, it's up to you. God sees what we do. I've already been punished. All those clients have terminated their cooperation with me. Aren't you satisfied? What kind of punishment do you want me to receive to satisfy your hatred?"
Luo Yingtao was heartbroken. Gao Huai had framed Mingdan Company, but she was the one taking the blame? It was a huge injustice, yet she had no place to appeal?
Now, not only did she suffer the scolding from Simingda and Wang Mudan, but she also lost several clients. She really regretted that when she met Gao Huai again that day, she shouldn't have told him all about Mingdan Company's business situation in order to vent her personal anger. Otherwise, why would she have fallen into this quagmire and couldn't extricate herself?
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. No matter how she tries to whitewash herself, she cannot recover the economic losses and mental trauma.
Wang Mudan said sarcastically, "After all this talk, you still feel sorry for those clients, right? You're so shameless! Do you think those friends are blind and can't see your character? How can an ungrateful villain like you be worthy of being in the business world? If they continue to let you handle their accounts, you might end up in jail one day. To save their lives and property, they have no choice but to avoid you, a venomous snake. I advise you to be sensible and stay away from Simingda and I's circle of friends. Don't embarrass us. If you mess with us again, you won't get such a good result."
Wang Mudan certainly understood that if her company's tax payment situation was indeed not a problem, it would not matter whether Luo Yingtao reported it or not. Out of guilt, she did not want to admit that there were loopholes in the company's management, and at this time she just wanted to vent her anger on Luo Yingtao.
Her ice-cold sarcasm completely shattered Luo Yingtao's only remaining hope. Her original idea of keeping the customs account client was doomed to fail.
Facing Wang Mudan's harsh scolding, she said sadly: "Mudan, I have already been punished. Please forgive me when you can. You have always been magnanimous and have never scolded anyone like this. Do you think it is all my fault that our relationship has come to this point? Don't you and Simingda have any responsibility?"
Wang Mudan certainly knew that Si Mingda was largely responsible for this reporting incident, but they were husband and wife. No matter how big a mistake he made, it was their family affair. She would only argue with him behind closed doors. In front of outsiders, she still had to maintain his image.
"We do have responsibilities, but Simingda and I wouldn't be so mean as to backstab someone. You're right. I've always been magnanimous. It was like this before, it's like this now, and it will be the same in the future. It all depends on who I'm dealing with. Do you think you're qualified to use that term with me? Check your conscience. Simingda was so devoted and worked so hard to help you attract clients, yet you're trying to kill him behind his back. You should ask yourself why you've become so vicious. Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night? Where's that cheerful and sunny girl from K University gone?"
Wang Mudan's barrage of angry curses really overwhelmed Luo Yingtao's spirit. She felt a splitting headache and had to hang up the phone irritably. She lay limp on the sofa for a long time, unable to move.
