Chapter 359: Enraged Qiao Lian (9)
Because it was so quiet, everyone heard very clearly what the voice had said.
The crowd turned simultaneously to find the source of the voice, and they were greeted by the sight of a man wearing a resplendent white suit walking in.
His graceful gait and elegant carriage gave clear hints that he didn’t come from a modest family.
Su Meimei’s pupils shrank immediately.
Everyone in the office looked astonished.
Qiao Lian asked him, “Sun Linan, why are you here?”
She didn’t want to call him by his nickname in everyone’s presence.
Indeed, Sun Linan was there.
He stepped forward and stood before her with an angry expression. “If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have known how you’re suffering working in a place like this!”
He turned around, glared fiercely at the people around and then grabbed Qiao Lian’s hand. “I, Sun Linan, the heir of Suzhou’s Sun Enterprise, am trying every day to get Qiao Lian to marry me. Do you think that she’d care about promotion or your managing editor?”
Although Sun Linan might be unreliable at times and may even be quite clueless in many ways, he was good looking and lavish. And when it came to big occasions, he had no problem holding his ground.
Compared to him, it was clear that Liu Zhixing was a far cry below.
Even Liu Zhixing’s wife was at a loss for words at this point.
Between Sun Linan and Liu Zhixing, only a blind person would go for the latter.
Liu Zhixing’s wife, beginning to understand the situation now, frowned and glowered at Su Meimei, “You vixen! Wh*re! You dare make groundless accusations even at this point!”
She was sure that this sl*t was aiming to bully Qiao Lian and then ruin Liu Zhixing’s career at the news agency.
Realizing this, the woman shouted as she dashed out of the office, “Sl*t! Don’t you dare leave! I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Su Meimei recalled the beating she had gotten and shrieked as she hurried to the elevator.
Unfortunately, the elevator took too long. The woman managed to grab her and gave her yet another thorough beating.
–
Back at the office, Shi Nianyao exclaimed excitedly.
“She’s really shot her own foot this time!”
She laughed out loud. “She’s finally gone. From now on, we’ll be finally left in peace!”
Sun Linan looked at Shi Nianyao and smiled at her pleasingly. Then he turned to Qiao Lian. “Xiao Lian, let’s go for dinner—”
Qiao Lian looked at the time and replied, “I can’t. I have plans for tonight.”
She had an appointment with Fan Lu to meet at the Glitter Bar, so she didn’t have time to have dinner with Sun Linan.
Sun Linan immediately showed a hurt expression on his face. “Xiao Lian, you didn’t join me the other time and today you’re not joining me either.”
He looked so dejected that Qiao Lian quickly shook her head and said, “Sun Tzi, I really do have something planned today. We can have a meal next time.”
As she said this, she started packing her belongings and headed to the exit.
Sun Linan followed behind her all the way downstairs, and he was about to say something when Qiao Lian halted and turned to face him. “Sun Tzi, do you remember what I dislike most?”
Sun Linan stopped in his tracks. “You dislike people following you.”
Qiao Lian nodded. “That’s right. So stop following me. I really do have business to attend tonight, is that okay?”
Sun Linan opened his mouth to say something, but he then saw that Qiao Lian had already dashed to the side of the road to hail an approaching cab. She got onto the cab without looking back.
Sun Linan stood alone by the road, looking absolutely crushed.
