Lu Mo's expression darkened, and a cold aura emanated from him. Ye Qingqing sensed it and hurriedly asked, "What happened? By the way, why was Secretary Xia acting like that just now?"
She then remembered Xia Lin's disheveled state; something was clearly wrong.
Did we run into bad people?
Ye Qingqing quickly denied it, saying that with Lu Mo around, which bad guy could succeed?
“Mr. Hua didn’t invite me at all,” Lu Mo said in a deep voice.
Ye Qingqing was taken aback. "Why did Secretary Xia lie? What are her intentions?"
This woman definitely had ulterior motives. Ye Qingqing quickly realized that it was her own fault. Lu Mo had asked her to go to Ye Xunmei's dinner party alone because of his appointment with Mr. Hua. Although this was the result she wanted, she didn't like being schemed against.
Especially since the other party is Lu Mo's undesirable romantic interest.
"I need to find her and get to the bottom of this: why did she unilaterally change your itinerary!"
Ye Qingqing was furious and was about to confront Xia Lin when Lu Mo stopped her, saying, "I'll call her over!"
Soon, Charlene arrived. She had changed her clothes and looked as shrewd and capable as ever, but there was a hint of panic in her expression.
"Mr. Lu, please let me explain..."
Ye Qingqing interrupted her, shouting, "You changed Lu Mo's schedule because you didn't want him to accompany me to the appointment. Who told you to do that?"
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became. If Xia Lin simply wanted Lu Mo to stay away from her, she wouldn't have made such a big mistake. She must have been after more than just one meal. Perhaps Xia Lin knew all along that she was going to a trap, which is why she tried so hard to stop her.
However, Ye Qingqing couldn't be completely sure. She just wanted to test the waters, but as soon as she asked, Xia Lin's expression changed drastically, and she became even more flustered. Ye Qingqing knew what was going on, and it turned out exactly as she expected.
Lu Mo also noticed, and his expression grew even colder. "When did you and Ye Yuanzhe start colluding together?"
Unexpectedly, his secretary was actually a pawn arranged by Ye Yuanzhe; he had been careless.
Lu Mo felt even more guilty. His arrogance had almost harmed Ye Qingqing; thankfully, nothing bad happened.
Xia Lin shook her head vigorously, "I don't know Ye Yuanzhe... I really don't know him, Mr. Lu, please believe me..."
"Why would you do things for him if you don't even know him? Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?" Ye Qingqing sneered.
"I really don't know him. Someone contacted me. I don't know him, but he said that if I could guarantee that Miss Ye would go to the dinner party alone tonight, he would introduce her to a wealthy man's mistress and stop bothering President Lu... I was momentarily blinded by greed..."
I was wrong... Mr. Lu... Please give me another chance..."
Charlene kept pleading, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong. Her biggest mistake was violating the secretary's code of conduct and deceiving her boss.
Xia Lin felt no remorse towards Ye Qingqing. She even felt that she was facilitating the life of a good-for-nothing, because she believed that Ye Qingqing was a vain girl who was with Lu Mo only for his money and did not genuinely like him.
Xia Lin believed that she was thinking of Lu Mo's best interests, and that getting rid of the burden around him as soon as possible would allow Lu Mo to focus on his career.
Ye Qingqing laughed in anger and said to Lu Mo, "Your good secretary is so thoughtful, she's even found me a new job!"
Lu Mo's expression was icy, his lips pressed tightly together as he stared intently at Xia Lin. "What benefits did that person give you?"
"No... I'm devoted to you, how could I betray you? I just... I just..."
Ye Qingqing spoke for her, "You just think that you are the more suitable Mrs. Lu, and all the other women are trash, right?"
