Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 31

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 31

The relationship between Bai Zhuwei and Zong Jinghao was known by everyone in the company.

Bai Zhuwei wanted to publicize it and Zong Jinghao did not stop her nor deny it, thus admitting their relationship indirectly.

Now, Bai Zhuwei was not merely a secretary but would possibly marry into the Zong family. Therefore, she was rather respected and always flattered by a lot of colleagues in the company.

As soon as Zong Jinghao entered his office, someone came up to her and said, “Zhuwei, how was your meal with Mr. Zong?” “We admire you very much.”

Bai Zhuwei gave Lin Xinyan a sidelong glance and smilingly said, “It was nothing special. We had regular vegetables, a crispy pigeon, boiled chicken, crystal river shrimps…”

“Wow, all of these were your favorite dishes!” Qiu Yi flattered, “Mr. Zong’s so sweet.”

Bai Zhuwei smiled lightly while fiddling with her delicate fingernails casually. Even though she didn’t say anything, everyone saw it as a tacit acknowledgement.

Qiu Yi came up to her and said, “Zhuwei, when will you marry Mr. Zong?”

Bai Zhuwei suddenly stopped fiddling with her fingernails when she thought about it. If it wasn’t for Lin Xinyan, she was already a member of the Zong family.

She got in her way!

She didn’t go after Lin Xinyan as she had to keep up her image before Zong Jinghao. Nevertheless, she could use a cat’s paw to hurt her to ensure that she could never do well in the company.

She smiled amiably and said, “Qiu Yi.”

“Zhuwei.” Qiu Yi was rather smooth-faced.

“The new translator is very thoughtless.” Bai Zhuwei pretended to be upset.

“Did she annoy you?”

“Not really. Never mind, just do our work.” Bai Zhuwei deliberately stopped speaking as she knew Qiu Yi would get what she meant.

Qiu Yi looked at Lin Xinyan’s seat and thought to herself. Did this woman offend her because she wasn’t aware of the relationship between Bai Zhuwei and Mr. Zong?

It must be so. Since she had just joined the company, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she offended Bai Zhuwei.

She returned to her seat and thought to herself that she must reprimand her when she has the chance.

After Lin Xinyan finished her lunch, she threw away the disposable lunchbox and went to the pantry to drink some water.

Qiu Yi saw her and thought it would be a good chance. She then grabbed her cup and went to the pantry.

Qiu Yi stood behind Lin Xinyan and deliberately stepped forward when she finished filling her cup. As Lin Xinyan didn’t realize there was someone behind and ran into her, her glass of water was spilled on Qiu Yi’s dress.

“Are you blind?” Qiu Yi chastised her.

Spilling the drinks on Qiu Yi was indeed her fault. She immediately apologized to her, “I’m so sorry. It was an accident.”

“Just because it was an accident, you could simply spill your drinks on me?”

Lin Xinyan was stunned as she had never thought Qiu Yi would say something so unpleasant.

“I have apologized to you, and it was an accident.” Lin Xinyan explained it patiently.

“What’s the use of apologizing?” “Can I simply slap you in the face and apologize, and you will forgive me?” Qiu Yi was determined and obviously reluctant to let it go.

Lin Xinyan frowned and thought, “Isn’t that sophistry?”

How can one compare spilling water on her with slapping her in the face?

“What do you want?” Lin Xinyan’s voice was as cold as ice.

Obviously, she did not want to let it go, and not even apologies can solve this.

Staring at Lin Xinyan, Qiu Yi grabbed her glass of water and said, “Since you splashed water on me, we will be even when I splashed it on you too.”

Lin Xinyan stared at her glass of steaming water in disbelief. The woman wasn’t just nasty, but it’s clear that she even wanted to disfigure her.

Wouldn’t she be scalded by the boiling water?

Lin Xinyan added cold water into her glass as she was in a hurry to drink just now. Even if she were to splash it on her, she would merely wet her dress and not harm her.
