As soon as the woman entered, many people around her greeted her warmly, and everyone looked at her with admiration.
But the woman simply nodded in acknowledgment, her expression remaining perfectly calm.
"Stream, you're back?"
Wang Bo's eyes lit up, and without bothering to say anything more to Xiao Yin, he immediately went up to her eagerly, "You've been busy all day, you must be tired, right? I'll buy you a cup of coffee now."
"No!"
Yao Xishui waved her hand, her pretty face full of impatience. "I want to be alone for a while. Work is already driving me crazy, so please stop bothering me."
Wang Bo's expression froze.
This is a classic case of offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder!
Despite his frustration, not wanting to become a laughingstock, and even more unwilling to give up on Yao Xishui, he still shamelessly feigned magnanimity and said, "Alright, then you should rest well. I promise I won't let anyone disturb you!"
Yao Xishui didn't say anything more and continued to stride towards the stairwell.
She was exhausted from working so hard and just wanted to go back to her office to rest for a while. There was still a lot of complicated work waiting for her to handle.
"Attorney Yao, there's something I forgot to tell you!"
Xiao Yin belatedly realized what was happening and, while running towards Yao Xishui, said, "There was someone just now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Bo pulled him back.
At the same time, he kept casting threatening glances at Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin understood instantly, shrank back, and dared not continue speaking.
Wang Bo's gaze was clearly a warning and a threat.
If she continues talking, Wang Bo might target her in the future.
"What's wrong with someone?"
Xiao Yin didn't dare to continue, but Yao Xishui turned around and asked, "Is someone looking for me?"
Xiao Yin glanced at Wang Bo furtively, and seeing that his gaze was still unfriendly, she could only shake her head. "No, you should rest well. I'll call you if I need anything."
Although Huang Bo had just given her a fifty-yuan tip to pass on a message to Yao Xishui, fifty yuan was nothing compared to her job.
If you offend Huang Bo, at most he'll come back and ask for a fifty-yuan tip.
But if she offends Wang Bo, her job is definitely in jeopardy.
"I see..."
Yao Xishui didn't seem to think much of it. After pondering for a moment, she continued walking towards the stairwell.
Wang Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xiao Yin an admiring look.
Although he just kept saying that Yao Xishui would never be interested in that sleazy thug, what if she is?
If that handsome young man, whom he refuses to acknowledge, is indeed Yao Xishui's ex-boyfriend, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted if they were to meet?
Therefore, no matter what, he absolutely could not let Yao Xishui meet that man.
However, just as he successfully silenced Xiao Yin, the cleaning lady in the law firm said, "Attorney Yao, a man came in just now and said he wanted to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yin and Wang Bo immediately panicked.
But before they could rush over to stop them, the clueless auntie continued, "Oh, right, that man also said his name is Huang Bo, and he's waiting for you in room 520 of some hotel. He won't leave unless you go."
Upon hearing this, Wang Bo's face immediately darkened.
Waiting for Yao Xishui at the hotel?
Room 520?
This room number is fucking suggestive!
But no matter how angry he was, since this aunt who deserved to go to hell had already said it, he couldn't stop her anymore.
Beside her, Xiao Yin was equally embarrassed, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
She had just said she was fine after Wang Bo stopped her.
As a result, the cleaning lady spoke up for her. Wasn't this undermining her and deliberately embarrassing her?
However, what happened next made her even more vomit blood...
"Xiao Yin, didn't that young man named Huang Bo give you a fifty-yuan tip to pass on a message to Attorney Yao? You took someone else's tip, and now that Attorney Yao is back, why aren't you saying anything?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yin felt an urge to kill.
Where did they find this auntie?
Can't you be a little more perceptive?
Isn't this deliberately pushing her into a fire pit?
Despite her frustration, Yao Xishui returned, staring intently at her. "Xiao Yin, is what Aunt Li said true?"
"I...I..."
Xiao Yin's face turned bright red; she wished she could just smash her head against a wall and die.
She was already guilty enough for helping Wang Bo cover up the truth, but now she's been exposed on the spot by this cleaning lady. How can she face anyone now?
"Xiao Yin, you're even hiding this from me, are you?"
Yao Xishui's pretty face immediately darkened. "If you don't speak up, it's dereliction of duty. Believe me or not, I can make you pack your things and get out of here with just one word!"
Xiao Yin's expression changed, and she no longer cared about Wang Bo's threats. She said tremblingly, "I'll talk, I'll talk. Just now, a man named Huang Bo did come looking for you. He even gave me a fifty-yuan tip and said he was waiting for you in room 520 of the Maple Leaf Hotel. He wouldn't leave until you went."
"Huang Bo?"
Upon confirming the name again, Yao Xishui's expression became incredibly complex, with sadness, melancholy, and resentment appearing one after another on her exquisitely beautiful face.
Wang Bo saw this and was very anxious.
He was now almost certain that the guy named Huang Bo was indeed Yao Xishui's ex-boyfriend.
Moreover, judging from Yao Xishui's reaction, she probably still can't forget Huang Bo.
