Yu Xiang reminded Zhuo Changfeng, simply because she couldn't bear to keep it from him.
As for whether she'll be lucky enough to uncover the truth, she doesn't know.
Although her meeting with her boss and his wife revealed her in-laws' background, she still asked them not to bring it up at the company.
The other party understood her concerns and readily agreed.
When the weekend ended and work resumed, Yu Xiang arrived at the office and saw Zhuo Changfeng, who looked unusually haggard but still arrived at work on time.
She seemed lost in thought, but neither mocked nor offered any comfort.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Changfeng came to find her first.
"You knew that a long time ago, didn't you?"
Yu Xiang raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? If you saw some groups you shouldn't have seen, well, I just knew about it a little earlier than you did, and it just happened to happen to be there."
"Am I ridiculous? I was betrayed without even realizing it, yet I was still trying to find something to hold against you," Zhuo Changfeng said self-deprecatingly.
"I don't care what you think, as long as it doesn't affect my work in the future." After saying that, Yu Xiang ignored him.
Zhuo Changfeng returned to his office and stood there lost in thought for a while.
He was shocked and angry when he saw his girlfriend behaving intimately with her much older manager at the mall.
He said that his girlfriend always made excuses for herself on weekends, and sometimes she was busy with something even after get off work on weekdays.
She always said she went to see a friend, but he didn't know which friend she was seeing.
Unexpectedly, she had already started an affair with someone else.
That's why, when I mentioned Yu Xiang, my girlfriend immediately thought that Yu Xiang had taken a shortcut, simply because that's what she is.
The two then had a big fight, and his girlfriend, in a fit of despair, broke up with him, saying he was useless and couldn't even become a team leader, and that she didn't know how much longer she would have to suffer with him.
He had a tough weekend.
However, life must go on.
When he saw Yu Xiang again, he felt like a joke.
He initially found it unbelievable that Yu Xiang didn't retaliate by kicking him while he was down, but upon further reflection, he realized that it was his own hostility towards Yu Xiang that prevented him from acknowledging her abilities.
At least during her time with the company, Yu Xiang has performed exceptionally well in all her tasks and has never taken credit for anyone else's achievements.
Having figured this out, he decided to cheer up and work hard.
As long as he works hard and achieves results that his superiors cannot ignore, he will eventually get a promotion and a raise.
Instead of looking for dirt on others, he should focus on improving himself; he was thinking the wrong way before.
Both Yu Xiang and Zhuo Changfeng thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Changfeng's girlfriend, Lu Yanyan, harbored a grudge against Yu Xiang because of this.
Because when Zhuo Changfeng and he were arguing, Zhuo Changfeng angrily let slip Yu Xiang's name.
Lu Yanyan felt that it was Yu Xiang who had caused her to embarrass herself and break up with her boyfriend.
Although she was juggling two relationships, Lu Yanyan valued her supervisor's generosity and the small conveniences he offered her at work.
Deep down, Lu Yanyan still liked Zhuo Changfeng, her real boyfriend.
After all, Zhuo Changfeng was young and treated her quite well.
She said those things in anger during the argument, and afterwards she regretted them a little.
Holding a grudge against Yu Xiang, Lu Yanyan did not forget to seek out Zhuo Changfeng, intending to reconcile.
Zhuo Changfeng resolutely refused.
Having been betrayed once, he temporarily lost interest in dating and only wanted to focus on his work.
He was heartbroken in love and didn't want to be heartbroken in his career as well. Moreover, Lu Yanyan's angry words had angered him, and he wanted to achieve something.
Unable to reconcile privately, Lu Yanyan would frequently visit Yu Xiang's department under the guise of official business when she was at the company.
Yu Xiang was not a gossipy person. Even though Zhuo Changfeng had treated her badly in the past, she did not reveal Zhuo Changfeng's private affairs.
People in the department vaguely knew that Zhuo Changfeng had broken up with his girlfriend, but they didn't know why.
For this, Zhuo Changfeng felt grateful to Yu Xiang and felt even more that Yu Xiang was a person of noble character. He realized that he had been judging Yu Xiang by his own petty standards.
When Lu Yanyan came to their department again, everyone felt a little awkward around her, though they still maintained a polite facade.
Lu Yanyan could smile at anyone, but when she saw Yu Xiang, her eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.
Yu Xiang has always been too lazy to pay attention to people she doesn't care about, and she doesn't even get into a conflict with Lu Yanyan, even when Lu Yanyan attacks her with her eyes.
Zhuo Changfeng, on the other hand, felt somewhat annoyed as his ex-girlfriend repeatedly came to him under the guise of business, and occasionally even tried to get close to him to show affection.
He became even more unhappy after discovering that his ex-girlfriend was still targeting Yu Xiang.
When Lu Yanyan came over again and tried to provoke Yu Xiang, Zhuo Changfeng grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the corner of the stairs outside.
"Changfeng, are you willing to get back together with me?" Lu Yanyan asked happily.
"Lu Yanyan, I've already made things clear with you, and you were the one who brought up breaking up first. So please don't come to my department to find me again, it's affecting my work."
Lu Yanyan felt wronged. "Changfeng, I know I was wrong, and I regret it. Let's get back together, okay? I'll never make the same mistake again."
Zhuo Changfeng shook his head. "No, I don't want to start over. Let's just go our separate ways. Also, our matter has nothing to do with Deputy Team Leader Yu Xiang. Don't target her anymore."
"Changfeng, you don't want to get back together with me, is it because of that woman?" Lu Yanyan snapped.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuo Changfeng frowned. "Let's not involve outsiders in our affairs, okay?"
"She must have seduced you!"
"Can't you be a little more rational? She's married and has a family. You may be shameless, but she has her pride too. Do you think everyone is like you?"
How did the girl I remembered become like this? Was it because he didn't understand her well enough before, or because she changed too quickly?
"So considerate of others, huh, who would believe you two aren't related?"
"I don't care what you're thinking, anyway, I have nothing to do with Yu Xiang. I'm warning you not to talk nonsense, or you'll be careful that your own shameful secrets are exposed first."
Zhuo Changfeng was afraid that Lu Yanyan would cause trouble and anger Yu Xiang, who would then reveal her relationship with her supervisor.
Unexpectedly, what Lu Yanyan heard was that Zhuo Changfeng was protecting Yu Xiang and threatening her.
Hearing someone speaking nearby, the two parted on bad terms, and Lu Yanyan harbored even more resentment towards Yu Xiang.
Seeing Zhuo Changfeng take his ex-girlfriend out and then return looking grim, the people in the office exchanged glances, their faces full of worry.
When it was time to eat in the cafeteria, Yu Xiang's two dining companions couldn't help but discuss this topic.
"I don't know why they broke up. I think it wasn't a complete breakup," the married one said.
"I'm telling you, just take this with a grain of salt. I heard that Lu Yanyan was having an affair with someone else, and that's probably why they broke up," she whispered, her gossip-loving nature evident.
This person is really well-informed; it's almost certainly true. Yu Xiang, who knew the truth, pretended to be surprised.
