She forced herself to say, "Song Nuan, don't be so narcissistic! I'm very busy with work every day, how could I possibly pay special attention to your news?"
"Oh?" Song Nuan raised an eyebrow. "What kind of job is so easy that you can come out at four in the afternoon for an appointment?"
Xie Lingyu's face looked ashen, as if she had eaten excrement.
She slammed the coffee cup down.
He jumped up again, almost knocking the stool over.
Xie Lingyu's face darkened. "I don't know what you're talking about. You're incompetent, yet you want to cause me trouble? If you doubt me, go call the police and let them investigate!"
She picked up her bag and was about to leave.
As soon as she turned around, Fang Yu was standing behind her.
He gave her a cold smile. "Director Xie, it's been a long time."
Fang Yu took out a document and handed it to Song Nuan.
“Sister Song, my resignation process at Song’s is still stuck. I just went to the HR department to get her file, and it clearly states that Xie Dazhuang is her older brother.”
Song Nuan raised her eyebrows. She hadn't expected that the very means the Song family had used to prevent them from taking over the Berlin project would become a loophole in Fang Yu's investigation of Xie Lingyu.
"Fang Yu!" Xie Lingyu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. "You bitch! Back then, you made a mistake in the technical department and were about to be fired before your internship was over. I was the one who transferred you to the media group!"
Song Nuan was surprised, not expecting that Fang Yu and Xie Lingyu had such a past.
Fang Yu scoffed, "Do you think I don't know what your ulterior motives are in transferring me to the media group?"
The two were arguing quite loudly.
New customers and existing customers alike are all looking this way.
Most of the people who come here are white-collar workers from nearby companies. When they hear gossip about other companies, their eyes and ears are practically glued to them.
Xie Lingyu initially cared about her image, but after being provoked by Fang Yu, she threw everything else to the back of her mind.
"What do you think I'm up to? I nurtured you from scratch, turning you from an intern with no relevant background into what you are now, and then you betrayed me the moment you saw that Song Nuan had connections!"
Fang Yu seemed to have heard a joke, pulled a stack of photos out of her bag, and threw them at her.
"Back then, there was a rumor that a shareholder's daughter got in through connections. Among that batch of interns, only I shared the same surname as the shareholder. You wanted to climb the corporate ladder and get promoted, so you kept me on. Later, the real shareholder's daughter was exposed. She took her mother's surname. Your crooked plan failed, so you took it out on me and made me start drinking with clients! Whenever there was a dinner or drinking party with a client who liked to make things difficult, you made me go!"
Fang Yu became more and more agitated as she spoke, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Just thinking about those dark days makes her want to tear Xie Lingyu apart!
So she was the only one willing to help Song Nuan file a formal complaint.
Song Nuan was shocked. She didn't know Fang Yu had gone through all this. Fang Yu had never mentioned it. She had also thought that Fang Yu was like everyone else, just unable to stand Xie Lingyu's greed for credit...
She bent down and picked up a few photos.
Some of the pieces were scattered far away, and some daring onlookers picked them up to look at them.
There are many photos, all of which are evidence taken by Fang Yu over the years of Xie Lingyu forcing her to drink with him.
The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.
"What a despicable person, he deserves to be fired!"
"I can't even imagine how many girls working under her were persecuted."
"She looks so mean and sharp-tongued. Is that bag in her hand fake? She clearly got to where she is by selling herself. What's with this pretense of being a powerful career woman? She's probably slept with countless bosses and clients."
Xie Lingyu glared, trembling with rage, her long, bright red nails pointing furiously at Fang Yu, "Song Nuan ordered you to do this, didn't she? You wretched dog!"
She slapped Fang Yu hard across the face, then grabbed a glass and smashed it over Fang Yu's head.
Someone screamed in fright.
Song Nuan suddenly frowned, stepped forward, grabbed Xie Lingyu's long hair, and slapped her twice.
Clear and resonant.
After finishing, he picked up the unfinished iced Americano and poured it over her head.
Xie Lingyu's fur coat was soaked through, clumped together, and she looked nothing like a wealthy woman. Her hair was also stuck to her face, and her panicked appearance made her look like a frightened black chicken.
"ah--"
She let out a sharp, piercing scream and started scratching Song Nuan's face without a care.
Before she knew it, Song Nuan was scratched and left with a red mark.
"You bitches, you two bitches, I won't let you get away with this! Die, die!"
Song Nuan pressed her down, "Fang Yu, call the police!"
The police arrived as soon as he finished speaking.
After giving a stern rebuke, he took the delirious Xie Lingyu away.
"Sister Song, are you alright?" Fang Yu asked her, her eyes red.
Song Nuan shook her head, looking at the half of her face that had been slapped red, feeling a little sorry for her, but this was not the place to have a heart-to-heart talk.
She took out her card and gave it to the waiter, saying, "I'll pay for any damaged items at cost."
After paying the bill, Song Nuan took Fang Yu to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor said, "Your face is slightly swollen, just apply an ice pack. You have a minor abrasion on your head, but it's not serious. I've already applied medication. Don't wash your hair for the next few days."
"Thank you, doctor."
Fang Yu said, "Sister Song, your face..."
Upon hearing this, Song Nuan touched it and felt a little pain. She took out a mirror and found a long red mark under her eye.
The skin was broken, and a few beads of blood seeped out.
"I'm fine."
Song Nuan patted her shoulder, "You go back by yourself later. I still have something to ask Xie Lingyu, so I'll go first. Don't go to the company for a while, rest at home before going back to work."
Fang Yu nodded, moved.
Just as Song Nuan stepped out of the emergency room, she ran into Zheng Siyuan and realized that Qin Yuchuan was also at the hospital.
Zheng Siyuan also saw her. "President Song, President Qin is upstairs. Shall I take you up?"
Song Nuan: "..."
Zheng Siyuan clearly thought she had come to see Qin Yuchuan.
Since he said that, Song Nuan couldn't refuse. Qin Yuchuan was injured because of her, and since she was already here, it would be unreasonable not to go and see him.
Song Nuan followed Zheng Siyuan upstairs.
Qin Yuchuan took off his shirt, revealing a bandage on his right arm. Upon seeing Song Nuan, he grabbed his clothes to put them on.
Song Nuan ignored his childlike physique, which offered no appeal whatsoever, and asked, "How are you?"
Zheng Siyuan answered quickly, "It required more than twenty stitches. Originally, there was nothing wrong, but the doctor said that the wound was slightly inflamed due to secondary injury."
"How could there be secondary injury?" Song Nuan frowned.
Qin Yuchuan sneered, "Lu Ziyang saw that I was injured, and when you left, he wanted nothing more than to dislocate my hand."
"Impossible." Song Nuan blurted out.
Qin Yuchuan looked at her sarcastically, "I have no reason to lie to you. The police station has surveillance cameras. What, do you need me to send someone to retrieve the footage for you to see?"
Having known him for over twenty years, Song Nuan could tell whether he was lying with just a little careful observation.
She pursed her lips tightly, and after a long while, she spoke softly, "There may be some misunderstanding. I apologize on his behalf. I'm sorry."
Qin Yuchuan was so angry he laughed. He felt it was incredibly ironic to see Song Nuan bowing her head to him for Lu Ziyang's sake.
He lowered his voice, "Song Nuan, this matter won't just end like this."
