Chapter 14 The Truth



Song Mai's voice was calm and without any ripples.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Who exactly was at the front desk at the time?

While washing the dishes, Song Mai repeatedly recalled the events in her mind.

But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't think of anyone else.

It's like getting stuck in a dead end; after thinking for a long time, I still can't come up with any other solutions.

Chu Xing stared blankly at Song Mai's retreating figure.

He knew she was hiding something from him, but she was unwilling to tell him.

After Song Mai finished washing the dishes, she was drying her hands in the living room when Chu Xing spoke up again, "Tell me about it, maybe I can help."

Since he brought it up himself, Song Mai couldn't think of any other way to answer, so he simply sat down and explained the matter in detail.

Finally, she sighed heavily.

All I want is to work hard and achieve the life I desire through my own abilities, why is that so difficult?

The woman was slender, and as she spoke, an overwhelming sadness welled up in her eyes.

Chu Xing didn't say anything, but a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"I'll go to the company with you tomorrow."

Song Mai asked, puzzled, "Where are you going?"

[What happened last time we went? Won't things get even worse if we go again this time?]

By now, Chu Xing was almost certain that what he had heard was Song Mai's true feelings.

He explained, "I forgot to tell you, I studied computer science. If the surveillance video was indeed deleted intentionally, maybe I can recover it."

Upon hearing this, Song Mai's eyes lit up as if she had seen hope in a place of despair.

"really?"

The man nodded: "Genuine, no doubt about it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Song Mai thought that she would not be able to keep her promise and might suffer a lot of gossip in the company.

At that moment, Chu Xing suddenly told her that he could help her, which made her very happy.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chu Xing, as if she were seeing her savior.

The man sensed the woman's feelings and thought for a moment before saying, "I can only try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can recover."

The weariness in Song Mai's eyes vanished instantly. "It's okay. I'm already very touched that you're willing to help me. I'll buy some good food to thank you tomorrow."

With a preliminary solution in place, Song Mai was finally able to sleep soundly.

The next morning, Chu Xing did not go to the company.

Instead, she sent a message to Assistant Lu, telling him that he didn't need to come pick her up and that she would postpone her schedule by two hours.

Assistant Lu replied instantly, "Received."

But looking at the text message on his phone, Assistant Lu pondered the two sentences in black on a white background for a long time.

No need to pick me up, trip delayed, two hours...

The combination of these words is quite unusual.

Two hours...

Assistant Lu smacked his lips, unable to resist indulging in fantasies.

Master Yun is currently staying at Song Mai's house, and in order to keep it from Song Mai, he leaves very early every morning. Now, suddenly, he won't let him pick him up anymore.

Moreover, Yunye hasn't been talking about divorce or moving out lately, which shows that the relationship between the two has undergone a qualitative change.

After getting up, Song Mai prepared breakfast for the two of them as usual. After eating, she rode her electric scooter with Chu Xing to the company.

Song Mai and Chu Xing were carried on a pink mini electric scooter, and Song Mai hummed a song all the way to the company.

It was during working hours, and the company was bustling with people coming and going.

However, as soon as everyone saw Song Mai and Chu Xing appear at the same time, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

"Isn't this Song Mai and her gigolo husband?"

"It's strange that they still have the nerve to show up together, especially her husband, he's a complete scumbag."

"Look at them, their relationship is still pretty good, it seems like it hasn't been affected at all. I really don't know what to say."

"Who would go to such lengths to fawn over someone? I mean, is it really necessary? Even if that man is handsome, it's not like you should insist on being with him even though you know he doesn't have feelings for you."

Song Mai ignored the people discussing the matter and walked straight into the company.

Zheng Yao had just changed into her work uniform and stood at the front desk when she saw Song Mai and Chu Xing.

The man wasn't wearing a suit today, just a white shirt and black trousers, looking very casual. But the white shirt made him look more sunny, and he even had a kind of mature, masculine air about him.

This man seems to possess a certain magic; the more you look at him, the more enjoyable and charming he becomes.

Seeing the two of them rushing straight in, Zheng Yao quickly called out to stop them:

"No non-employees are allowed in! Song Mai, you've been with the company for so many years, how can you still disregard company rules and regulations like this!"

Song Mai glanced at her:

"I said I would give you an explanation, just wait and see. I will discuss the rules and regulations with the manager."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yao was taken aback, as if a sentence had been choked in her throat, and she felt a little guilty.

Seeing this, Song Mai took the opportunity to lead Chu Xing inside.

Song Mai first explained his intentions to Fang Yu, who didn't say anything. After all, he didn't think Zheng Yao would delete the company's surveillance footage, nor did he think Chu Xing could find anything out.

When the two arrived at the monitoring room, the security guard was relatively easy to talk to.

They didn't object as long as the manager agreed.

After connecting the control panel in the monitoring room to the computer, the man typed on the keyboard with his large, well-defined hands for a while before finally stopping after pressing the Enter key.

"How is it?" Song Mai asked with concern.

Chu Xing pulled up the surveillance video: "It's done."

The video clearly shows what happened at the front desk almost exactly the day before yesterday.

Song Mai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; this matter could finally be resolved.

After the video was recovered, she first contacted Fang Yu, and then invited several other people to witness the event.

Several people in the monitoring room were watching the surveillance video from the day before yesterday.

In the video, Zheng Yao kept talking to Chu Xing, and even squeezed next to him and put her hand on his leg, trying to have some intimate contact with him.

As the video ended, one of the people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"My God, what a brilliant tactic! What a masterful distortion of the truth!"

Others chimed in:

"Yeah, it was clearly Zheng Yao who took the initiative, but she still accused him first. She really knows how to humiliate herself."

"Anyway, once the surveillance footage is lost and there's no evidence, she can say whatever she wants. Look at how pitiful she looked as a victim yesterday. If I hadn't seen the video today, I would still feel sorry for her."

...

Song Mai walked to Fang Yu's side: "Manager, can we prove it now?"

Fang Yu believed Zheng Yao completely from the moment she told him about it, never imagining that Zheng Yao had been lying to him from the very beginning.

His face looked extremely pale.

"I'm sorry for what happened. I trusted Zheng Yao too much. I apologize. I will clarify this within the company. I will discuss the project with the general manager. You will continue to follow up afterward."

Song Mai's expression relaxed considerably when she heard that she could continue working on the project.

She turned to look at Chu Xing and silently mouthed a sentence:

"Thanks."
