"That's none of your business. Just mind your own business."
Lin Ran had no interest in listening to Zheng Yao's nonsense and pulled Song Mai to leave.
Zheng Yao stood in front of Song Mai, blocking her way.
"Why are you leaving so soon? Aren't you going to chat a little longer?"
Song Mai frowned: "Please move aside."
She had no intention of pursuing the matter from before, but she also didn't want to have any more pointless arguments with Zheng Yao.
Zheng Yao remained motionless, her eyes meeting Song Mai's directly, but her gaze was full of provocation.
What if I don't?
Lin Ran lost her patience: "Zheng Yao, don't go looking for trouble."
However, Zheng Yao seemed determined not to let Song Mai leave. If Song Mai went left, she would go left; if Song Mai went right, she would go right.
Song Mai's face darkened. "What exactly do you want?"
Yu Guangzhong and Zheng Yao caught a glimpse of Fang Yu not far away. She didn't speak but smiled at Song Maiying, her smile full of meaning.
The next second, Zheng Yao suddenly fell backward and crashed to the ground with a thud.
It was lunch break time, and many people were chatting together, while others were sitting at their workstations playing on their phones. When they heard the commotion, they all came over to check what was going on.
Zheng Yao's face turned ashen, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her elbow in pain.
"Song Mai, you've gone too far!"
Seeing this, Fang Yu quickly stepped forward, helping Zheng Yao up with concern, and asked, "What happened?"
Zheng Yao pointed at Song Mai, her finger trembling slightly:
"I just accidentally blocked your way, why did you push me? We're colleagues, can't we talk things out?"
As she spoke, a tear slid down her cheek.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu immediately became furious:
"Song Mai, what's wrong with you? You're a long-time employee of the company. If you can't resolve your conflicts through communication, why are you resorting to physical violence!"
Lin Ran didn't expect Zheng Yao to be so cunning.
The tricks commonly used in idol dramas have actually come to life in reality.
She couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to explain, "Manager, Song Mai really didn't push her. I saw it very clearly from the side. You know Song Mai's character; she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would push someone."
Zheng Yao pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved: "You're good friends with her, of course you'll speak up for her!"
Lin Ran's expression immediately turned ugly as soon as she mentioned Fang Yu, recalling what Zheng Yao had told her about Song Mai's actions.
“Zheng Yao is right. You and Song Mai have always been of one mind. No matter what she does, you will help her. Your words cannot be trusted.”
After saying that, he turned to Song Mai and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Zheng Yao!"
Fang Yu's brows furrowed more and more. He had originally thought Song Mai was a good employee. She had worked diligently for the company for so many years and never caused trouble. He had always thought highly of her.
Unexpectedly, after marrying such a bad husband, she was still love-struck, blindly trusting her immoral husband and even blaming others.
Now they're even openly taking action against Zheng Yao in the company. This time it's pushing her away, what will it be next time?
Someone in the crowd whispered in response:
"It's really hard to believe. Song Mai is a man of few words. He usually seems quite honest, but I never expected him to be so ruthless."
"Yeah, is it really necessary? What's the matter that requires physical violence?"
"People who are usually quiet and reserved are often the most ruthless when they get serious."
Song Mai remained silent until Fang Yu repeated his request for her to apologize.
She looked intently at Zheng Yao, "You said I pushed you, so what was my reason for pushing you?"
With tears in her eyes, Zheng Yao said, "Of course it's because your husband touched me inappropriately yesterday and you saw it. I clearly rejected your husband, but instead of blaming him, you said that I seduced him. That's why you pushed me whenever you touched me."
At this point, she burst into tears.
"This really isn't my fault, I'm a victim too..."
But somewhere unnoticed by others, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
Anyway, she secretly deleted the surveillance footage during the security guards' shift change. Without evidence, who would believe what Song Mai said?
She wanted to stay at the company for a long time, and she would never allow Song Mai to ruin her reputation!
The onlookers pointed and whispered about Song Mai:
"Isn't this ridiculous? Why drag other people into it when your own husband is a scumbag?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew it! I knew it was strange that her husband was so handsome and he would marry her. Turns out he didn't take her seriously at all. They were just doing their own thing in private."
"She's not a mistress; she can't hold onto her husband's heart, so why blame others?"
"It's easy to explain. How could she bear to let go of such a handsome husband? But she was also jealous, so she could only vent her anger on Zheng Yao."
Listening to the hearsay, Lin Ran looked at Song Mai with concern.
Song Mai remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuations, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
But the more she acted this way, the more worried Lin Ran became.
She couldn't help but speak up in defense of Song Mai:
"What do you know? You believe everything Zheng Yao says? You're not usually this close to her! Yesterday, it was clearly Zheng Yao who was seducing Mai Zi's husband, and Mai Zi made a few sarcastic remarks to her. Zheng Yao held a grudge and, fearing that Mai Zi would tell others, she pulled this stunt to try and frame Mai Zi first."
Zheng Yao's thoughts were not hard to guess; she, as an outsider, could see them clearly.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yao felt her thoughts had been exposed, and her heart tightened, but she looked completely innocent on the surface.
"I didn't! Although Song Mai's husband is very handsome, he is already married. Even if I'm not that bad, I wouldn't seduce someone's husband at the company."
As soon as Lin Ran spoke, everyone sensed a juicy saga and began whispering among themselves:
"That can't be right. Didn't Zheng Yao always look down on Song Mai's husband? I remember she always complained that Song Mai's husband was poor."
“I also think it’s unlikely. So many people are pursuing her, would she really go out of her way to become Song Mai’s husband’s mistress? Besides, Song Mai’s husband is too poor. I saw Song Mai riding her electric scooter with him yesterday after get off work. He’s practically a gigolo.”
"Isn't that how shameless you are? There are security cameras at the front desk. Just pull up the footage and you'll see who's trying to frame whom. It'll be clear in no time," Lin Ran sneered.
Zheng Yao straightened her neck: "Fine, let's check the surveillance footage then."
Song Mai glanced at Zheng Yao without showing any emotion, and an ominous premonition immediately rose in her heart.
Even if the surveillance footage is retrieved, this matter may still remain unresolved.
The group went to the monitoring room in a grand procession. When the security guard heard how dramatic the story was, he immediately went to check the surveillance footage without saying a word.
However, after trying for a long time, he still couldn't find the surveillance video that the people wanted.
"I'm sorry everyone, the security camera at the front desk seems to be broken, and yesterday's video footage has not been saved."
