Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 170

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 169

Wanyue Group.

“Wanyue Group” — on the wall behind the front desk were these big, gold-inlaid words. It was hard to ignore them as they looked simply magnificent.

“I’m sorry, you need an appointment to meet the President,” the receptionist said matter-of-factly.

Qin Ya stood anxiously at the front desk and begged, “I really need to see the President. I need to ask him something and it’s very urgent.”

Lin Xinyan hadn’t been to the shop for two days and was uncontactable. She had moved to Zong Jinghao’s villa, but Qin Ya didn’t know where the villa was and was a little worried. She wanted to ask Zong Jinghao why Lin Xinyan hadn’t been coming to the shop.

They had just opened for business, and many customers came especially for her. Her absence might be seen as a lack of sincerity.

Furthermore, Lin Xinyan was serious and enthusiastic about her work. She wouldn’t skip work without any notice.

If she had got in touch and said that she couldn’t make it to the store because she had something on, at least Qin Ya wouldn’t be so worried. The problem was, she couldn’t be contacted at all.

How could she not worry?

“I’m very sorry. I can’t let you pass without an appointment. If he were to waste his time meeting everyone who comes to him without an appointment, he wouldn’t need to work anymore.” The receptionist kept her grace, but her attitude was no longer gentle. She was annoyed by Qin Ya’s pestering.

“Can’t you bend the rules this once? Or, could you connect me to your President through the phone? I’ll just pass him a message, that’ll do.”

“No. You can wait at the lobby by all means and approach him when he comes down. If he’s willing to listen to you, you can talk to him all you want.

“Why are you so inflexible?”

“Sorry, it’s my job.”

Qin Ya drooped her head. The people in this big company were so unreasonable. All she wanted was to see Zong Jinghao.

“Hey, Ms. Qin.” Su Zhan came in idly through the door, twirling the car key in his hand.

Qin Ya couldn’t be bothered by him and turned and walked away.

“Hey.” He grabbed Qin Ya’s arm as she passed by. “I’m not a monster. There’s no need to shun me. We’re friends after all, so it doesn’t hurt to say ‘hello’. Aren’t you being a little rude now?”

Qin Ya frowned and shook him off. “It depends on who I’m dealing with. You’re all handsy the moment we met. People might mistake you for a pervert.”

Su Zhan raised his eyebrows and dusted his clean suit. He threw a sidelong glance at Qin Ya and said, “Watch your words. I can sue you for libel.”

Qin Ya’s expression darkened, and rebuked, “That’s crazy. You’re the one who approached me, and now you’re pointing the finger at me? What an eye-opener.”

Su Zhan didn’t mean what he said. He was just teasing her. Seeing how riled up she was, a wry smile appeared on his face.

“Looking for Jinghao?” He overheard her conversation with the receptionist as he stepped in.

Before Qin Ya could reply, he continued, “Fell in love with Jinghao?”

“What nonsense is that?” Qin Ya was flushed with anger. Zong Jinghao was indeed good-looking, mature and charming, but she knew very well he belonged to Lin Xinyan.

That thought never crossed her mind, and he actually teased her for that?

He’s a beast!

“Angry?” Su Zhan craned his neck to look at her.

Qin Ya barely resisted the urge to slap him. She glared angrily at him and hurried off.

Su Zhan curled his lips. He stood there with a know-it-all expression on his face. “You’re here to ask Jinghao about Ms. Lin?”

Su Zhan was at Shen Peichuan’s to discuss the matter of suing He Ruilin. He learnt from Shen Peichuan that Lin Xinyan had been uncontactable. He heard that Zong Jinghao was troubled over this matter, so he stopped by to visit his good friend.

Qin Ya stopped in her tracks. He knows about Lin Xinyan.

However, put off by his impudence, Qin Ya did not respond at once.

“As a friend, aren’t you concerned that Ms. Lin’s in trouble?” Su Zhan turned to look at Qin Ya, who was obviously hesitant.

Lin Xinyan’s in trouble? How can it be?

Qin Ya did not believe his words. If it came from someone else, she wouldn’t have doubted it. She did not have a good impression of this man.

“Don’t try to fool me. Everything’s well with Ms. Lin. What grudge do you have against her to curse her like that?”

Su Zhan was at a loss for words.

She actually doubted his words?

“Am I really that lousy?”
