Chapter 17: Things Didn’t Go Well

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhu Ting was an ordinary member of the Mo Group. She went to and from work every day, day after day. One could almost see her whole life at a glance.

Her family wasn’t very well off either. In a big city like Beijing, Zhu Ting’s salary could barely support herself. As for getting luxury items, she could forget about them.

However, recently, the employees of the company noticed that Zhu Ting seemed to be different.

First of all, she seemed to be more confident.

In the morning, when Zhu Ting entered the office, she even greeted her colleagues, which was rare. The smile on her face also became more frequent. Even this smile wasn’t the timid and shy smile she used to have.

After Zhu Ting left the pantry happily in her high heels, her colleagues quickly gathered together and wondered what had happened to her. Why did she suddenly change?

“Do you think that Zhu Ting won the lottery?”

“Or maybe she went into a side business?”

“Side business” sounded a little ambiguous. The colleagues laughed when they heard it. Someone even pointed at this person and praised him for his talent.

“Speaking of which, did you see Zhu Ting’s clothes? They are not cheap.”

“I’m starting to suspect that Zhu Ting has hooked up with some higher-ups. Do you know that Zhu Ting’s proposal yesterday was nonsense, and in the end, she was praised by the team leader?”

When they heard this, their colleagues were all talking at once, wanting this person to say more. However, before this person could speak, a young voice came from outside, “You guys aren’t working. What are you talking about here? Are you having a tea party?”

Mo Xuan had just arrived at the company when he heard the discussions. He was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. He quickly came out to stop them before they could say anything against him.

This person obviously did not expect that he would be heard by the leader when he was speaking ill in front of his colleagues. He hurriedly put down his cup and walked out with his head lowered.

Mo Xuan only heaved a sigh of relief after everyone in the pantry had left.

There was indeed an improper relationship between him and Zhu Ting. He could not reveal this matter now. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be further and further away from the center of power of the Mo Family?

With this thought in mind, Mo Xuan was even considering whether or not he should break up with Zhu Ting.

However, when he passed by Zhu Ting’s office and saw Zhu Ting’s red and tender little face smiling at him wholeheartedly, Mo Xuan felt his heart speed up again. He could not control himself and immediately understood that he could not break up with her for the time being.

He nodded at Zhu Ting without leaving a trace. Mo Xuan returned to his office and looked at the proposals that had been rejected one after another on his desk. He couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Ever since Mo Ting fell sick, all of the Mo Group’s matters were decided by the board of directors.

When Mo Ting was around, it was mostly because he was a member of the Mo family that as long as his proposals were at least decent, they would almost always be approved.

However, now that it was the board of directors, none of the proposals that he had submitted were approved.

Sitting sprawled on the boss’ chair, Mo Xuan actually began to miss Mo Ting.

Picking up a proposal on the table regarding the business street, Mo Xuan felt that it was perfect in terms of both the details and the expected revenue. However, for some reason, this proposal was rejected, and it was labeled as unrealistic.

Mo Xuan was even more annoyed. The more annoyed he was, the more he wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Before he reached the smoking room, Mo Xuan heard his little lover, Zhu Ting, talking on the phone with her family.

“Yes, yes, don’t worry. I’m doing quite well here. No one is making things difficult for me. Yes, don’t worry. Yes, my boyfriend is very good to me.”

Mo Xuan was slightly satisfied. Regardless of whether she was being sincere or not, she had given him some face.

Just when Mo Xuan wanted to appear and give Zhu Ting a surprise, Zhu Ting actually picked up another phone call.

At this time, Zhu Ting had already changed her tone. There was some complacency in her laughter. “Don’t worry. Won’t it be easy for me to take Mo Xuan, that idiot rich second generation, down?”

“Alright, alright. I know that Mo Xuan isn’t the target. The final target is the actual person in charge of the Mo family. Mo Ting, how many times have you said that?”

The other party seemed to have said something again. Zhu Ting was already very impatient. Even her tone had turned cold, “Alright, I know. That Idiot Mo Xuan still thinks that I’m innocent and adorable and can’t get enough of me. At most, when I break up with him, I’ll say a few things and let him think that I’m forced to be together with Mo Ting? When the time comes, I can also sow discord between the two cousins who don’t get along.”

The other side seemed to be finally satisfied. Zhu Ting didn’t say anything and hung up the phone.

After staying here for a while, Zhu Ting steadily switched to a weak and pitiful image. She lowered her head and timidly returned to the office.

She didn’t notice Mo Xuan who was standing at the corner, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth so hard that it made creaking sounds.

Mo Xuan did not know why he had been so calm just now as he watched his woman plot to cuckold him.

After a long while, he sneered and left..
