Lin Ran felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this, and goosebumps rose on her body.
The man embraced her, looking extremely protective, and said:
"Don't worry, I will never let Xunyi get away with this. It won't be long before I make Han Shanyu taste the bitterness of bankruptcy and let him know that my woman is not someone he can bully! Tell me who persecuted you, and I'll take care of them too!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yao realized she had achieved her goal. Her eyes lowered slightly, and a look of emotion appeared on her delicate and pretty face, though a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes unnoticed by anyone.
She hesitated before speaking, "Thank you for being so kind to me, but the person who persecuted me is no longer with Xunyi. What happened before is in the past, so let's just let it go. Your work is more important, and I don't want to trouble you with these little things."
The man kissed Zheng Yao's face with his thick lips, seemingly pleased by her thoughtfulness and consideration.
"I know you don't want to bother me, but as your man, it's my duty to avenge you. Tell me quickly, who is that person?"
Zheng Yao buried her head weakly in the man's chest. After a while, she raised her head and glanced at Song Mai.
Her eyes held resentment, grievance, and forbearance. Although she didn't say a word, her meaning was quite clear.
Sure enough, anger immediately flared up in the fat, greasy man's eyes.
"So it was you who bullied Yao Yao! You're so malicious!"
Lin Ran looked at the fat man, who was furious and had a face full of fat, and said speechlessly:
"This is utterly outrageous! The wicked are the ones who accuse the guilty first. Why don't you go to the interrogation center and ask who is really harming whom? When did Song Mai ever harm her? It's clear that she's been using all sorts of tricks to harm Mai Zi. Mai Zi has almost been ruined by her many times, and in the end, she was even fired and blacklisted because of her. If it weren't for the interrogation center finding out the truth and clearing Mai Zi's name, I don't know what kind of life she would be living now."
Go read the official statement released by Xunyi, and you'll know why Zheng Yao was dismissed and blacklisted. Xunyi wouldn't lie in its official statement.
Lin Ran was very confident. Xunyi's official statement had described the actions of Zheng Yao, Fang Yu, and others very clearly, even detailing how Zheng Yao had gotten involved with Fang Yu during their time at the company and how she had interfered in someone else's marriage.
She simply didn't believe that Zheng Yao could come up with anything more than empty words.
Zheng Yao grabbed the fat man's sleeve and burst into tears.
"That's not it. Everything I did was for you. I've told you before that I offended Xunyi because of you. Xunyi hates me to the core, so they put all the blame on me."
Zheng Yao cried her eyes out, but she remained completely unfazed by Lin Ran's words.
She had already told this fat man that he was none other than Fan Ruifeng, the boss of Xunyi's rival, Kexin.
She obtained the key to the cabinet in Song Mai's office through Fang Yu, secretly photocopied the project materials in the cabinet, and sold the materials to people at Kexin.
And they framed Song Mai for this.
After the incident, she was fired from her job at the translation center, so she went to a bar with a few girlfriends to drown her sorrows and hopefully meet some rich people.
Unexpectedly, she discovered that Fan Ruifeng was also at that bar, so she used her beauty to seduce him and get to know him.
Fan Ruifeng was also a womanizer; even though he already had a wife and children at home, he still sought pleasure in bars.
Zheng Yao is beautiful, young, and has a great figure. She understands men's hearts and can easily arouse Fan Ruifeng with just a few tricks.
She had always looked down on married older men like Fan Ruifeng, but she was truly desperate and had nowhere else to turn. In addition, Fan Ruifeng was rich and powerful, and was also Xunyi's rival. She was also eager to get revenge on Song Mai, so when Fan Ruifeng appeared, she convinced herself and made a tough decision to seduce him.
Fan Ruifeng quickly launched his offensive, and within a few days the two had formed their current relationship.
After the two got together, Zheng Yao told Fan Ruifeng in advance that she had been dismissed and blacklisted by Xunyi in order to prevent any unexpected events from happening later.
However, she said that she had long admired Fan Ruifeng. Although she was an employee of Xunyi, she had always felt that Fan Ruifeng was more capable and talented. She just couldn't join Kexin because Kexin had never hired a receptionist.
But she always had feelings for him, so when Kexin and Xunyi were competing for a project, she did everything she could to help Kexin win the project, even at the cost of betraying Xunyi.
It wasn't that she wanted to betray the company; she only did it because she genuinely cared about Fan Ruifeng.
She just didn't expect that this matter would be discovered so quickly. Song Mai had been bullying her at the company, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she blamed Song Mai, fearing that she wouldn't be able to help Kexin if she was fired.
Unexpectedly, after Song Mai was fired, Xunyi inexplicably conducted another thorough investigation and found her out.
As for the company's official statement saying that she was a third party and had an extramarital affair with Fang Yu, she was also deceived. In fact, she had no idea that Fang Yu was already married.
Fang Yu had been pursuing her for a long time, and she thought he was single, which is why she got together with him.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yu told a colossal lie.
She spoke pitifully, and Fan Ruifeng, who already had feelings for her, was deeply moved when he heard that she had long harbored feelings for him and was even willing to risk her future to help Kexin secure projects.
They never doubted the truthfulness of what Zheng Yao said.
Furthermore, they believe that Xunyi's statement was also a smear campaign against Zheng Yao because Zheng Yao caused them to lose the project and suffer losses.
As Fan Ruifeng wiped away Zheng Yao's tears, he said:
“I know, of course I know, there are still people smearing you even now.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ran with displeasure in his eyes.
“I have the ability to discern. I know exactly what kind of person you are, and I remember those who harmed you. Now that you're with me, you won't be helpless like before. I will definitely make those who harmed you pay the price!”
Zheng Yao nodded repeatedly, deeply moved.
"Pfft—"
Song Mai couldn't help but laugh at this moment, her gaze cold, rational and calm.
"Today I've truly witnessed what it means to be unable to distinguish right from wrong and to distort the truth."
"What did you say!"
Fan Ruifeng looked at her with a gloomy expression, as if he was about to stand up for Zheng Yao on the spot.
Song Mai glanced at the time. She had no intention of getting entangled with the two of them. She just couldn't understand what she had done to offend Zheng Yao, that made her resort to such ruthless tactics time and time again.
