Ning Nanxue was not surprised to hear Xu Zhiru say this. Her fingers gently slid across the rim of the teacup, as if she was thinking about something.
She didn't rush to express her opinion, and only raised her eyes after a while: "Miss Xu, I know you feel unfair for me, and you also want Su Yao to suffer quickly. But think about it, although Su Yao is annoying now, she still has some connections in the Fu family. At least on the surface, she didn't cause any big trouble."
"If we rush to beat her to death now, it will cause too much noise and everyone will know it was me, Ning Nanxue, who did it. Then we might be known as narrow-minded and vindictive, and public opinion might not be on our side."
Xu Zhiru frowned when she heard this. She was indeed impatient and liked to cut the Gordian knot. After hearing what Ning Nanxue said, she felt that there was some truth in it.
She smacked her lips. "You're right. I didn't think it through. So you mean we just sit there and watch?"
"How can we just sit there and watch?" Ning Nanxue's lips curled up, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "We both know what Su Yao is thinking. She wants to climb up and curry favor with Tingchen, so she will definitely not stop. Now, we are just waiting to watch the show and see how she messes it up herself. Sometimes, letting someone kill themselves is much cleaner and less troublesome than doing it ourselves."
Xu Zhiru's eyes lit up and she nodded: "I understand. Mr. Jiang must have his own rules. Su Yao wants to play tricks under his nose, which is boring."
She picked up the teacup and gently clinked it against Ning Nanxue's cup.
"Then let's do as you say and see what happens. But Nanxue, if there's anything you need me for, just let me know."
Ning Nanxue responded: "Yeah."
The days passed like this. The cooperation project between Jiang Tingchen and Lin Wanyi was going quite smoothly, and the two met more often because of work.
Who in this business world isn't a shrewd person? Lin Wanyi is young, beautiful, and capable. She's also the head of the Lin family. Standing next to Jiang Tingchen, they really look like one.
Gradually, word spread in the circle that General Manager Jiang and General Manager Lin had a special relationship.
Of course, Su Yao also heard these words. She spent so much effort to make Ning Nanxue "disappear" in front of Jiang Tingchen, and now, Lin Wanyi has come out again?
How could she possibly swallow this! Especially after being left out like that by Jiang Tingchen at the banquet last time, Su Yao's anger had never extinguished. Now, she hated Lin Wanyi so much that she regarded her as a thorn in her side.
It was another business reception, with bright lights, wine and people coming and going.
As an important guest of the organizer, Jiang Tingchen was naturally the focus.
Lin Wanyi, who was standing next to him, was wearing a champagne-colored strapless dress, which made her look as white as snow. She also had a good temperament and was particularly eye-catching.
The two of them whispered to each other from time to time. Jiang Tingchen had a smile on his face and looked at Lin Wanyi with admiration. Others thought that the two were a good match.
Su Yao was holding a glass of red wine, watching from afar, her nails almost pinching her palms. She had dressed up carefully tonight, wearing the latest limited edition dress, thinking of hooking up with Jiang Tingchen again at the cocktail party.
But what happened? From the moment he came in until now, he hadn't even glanced at her! His eyes were all on Lin Wanyi!
"Tingchen..." Su Yao bit her lip, feeling sour in her heart. She forced a smile and walked towards Jiang Tingchen and Lin Wanyi.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lin, good evening." Su Yao's voice was so sweet that water could drip out of it, and she wanted to squeeze in between the two of them.
Jiang Tingchen just glanced at her indifferently, nodded as a greeting, and then turned around and continued talking to Lin Wanyi, as if Su Yao was just a passerby.
Lin Wanyi was quite generous and smiled at Su Yao: "Miss Su, good evening." She smiled politely, but there was a hint of speculation in her eyes. She knew a little about Su Yao's little tricks from Jiang Tingchen, and she was already prepared.
Su Yao was ignored by Jiang Tingchen so much that the smile on her face almost froze. She was full of anger and her eyes turned around at Lin Wanyi with ill intentions.
"Ms. Lin looks so beautiful tonight. This dress... really suits you. It's just that," she said, her tone sour, changing the subject. "I remember this style. It seems to be an old model from some small brand last year. Ms. Lin is a wealthy woman, so why would she still be wearing something out of season?"
As soon as these words came out, the eavesdroppers nearby couldn't help but exchange glances.
The smile on Lin Wanyi's face paused, but soon recovered. She was not angry at all, but looked at Su Yao with a surprised and innocent expression.
"Miss Su has excellent taste. This dress isn't a new model from a big brand, but it's from a designer my mother particularly loved when she was young, and that designer no longer makes them. My mother found this dress specifically for me, saying it brings good luck. To me, it means much more than any new model."
She spoke sincerely and her eyes were clear. This explanation not only solved the problem of "outdated", but also raised the value and significance of the skirt. Instead, it made Su Yao seem a little petty and looking for trouble.
When the people around heard this, they all looked up to Lin Wanyi. She wore clothes out of her heart and out of her mother's love, but Su Yao was too harsh to criticize the style.
Su Yao didn't expect Lin Wanyi to be so eloquent. She was choked and looked unhappy.
How could she just let it go like that? She rolled her eyes and made another move.
Holding the wine glass, she approached Lin Wanyi in a feigned affectionate manner, "Oh, so that's how it is. I blame myself for being so ignorant. Mr. Lin is truly filial. Come, I'll toast Mr. Lin and apologize for what I said earlier."
As she spoke, she raised her glass, and when she moved closer to Lin Wanyi, her wrist "accidentally" tilted, and most of the glass of red wine splashed onto Lin Wanyi's champagne-colored dress.
"Oh!" Su Yao cried out in a fake voice, "Boss Lin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! It's all my fault for being clumsy!"
She apologized, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes. No matter how meaningful this skirt was, it was ruined after being splashed with red wine.
See how arrogant you are!
Lin Wanyi was completely unprepared, and a large red wine stain immediately appeared on her chest and the hem of her skirt, which was particularly conspicuous.
She subconsciously took a step back, her brows furrowed tightly, her face full of panic and embarrassment.
There was quite a commotion here, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"What's going on?"
"It seems that Su Yao spilled the wine on Mr. Lin!"
"My god, that skirt... doesn't look cheap."
"Su Yao did it on purpose, didn't she? She sounded weird when she spoke just now."
The guests' discussions were neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for Su Yao and Lin Wanyi to hear.
