Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 891

The weather was perfect today. She strolled down the path on the street for a very long time. It was not until her legs could no longer take her weight did she call for a taxi back to the hotel.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and she paid the driver before getting off.

Ling Wei smiled as she greeted Zong Yanxi the moment she walked into the hotel lobby. “Ms. Lin.”

Zong Yanxi was astonished by her appearance at this place.

“Are you here to talk to me about work?” She asked.

Ling Wei smiled. “No. I just wanted to invite Ms. Lin to witness something exciting.”

Zong Yanxi’s heart skipped a beat. This woman was not a kind one, not to mention how fake she was. She used to play the role of a pure and innocent little girl in front of me.

But in the end, she was utterly vicious when she wanted to take my life!

She was definitely someone that needs to be guarded against!

“We’re barely acquainted.” Zong Yanxi rejected her offer.

Who knew if Ling Wei has something up her sleeve?

“Oh, it’s always good to make new friends. We’ll be seeing a lot of each other in the office from now on. We’ll be like family! You’ve just arrived at B City, so I’m sure that there’s a lot of things you’re not yet familiar with. Especially places where you can go to relax. I’m inviting you so that I can help you relax and unwind.” Ling Wei’s heels clicked as she stalked closer to Zong Yanxi. She stopped at a distance less than a meter away from her and leaned in close. “You seem to be avoiding me, Ms. Lin?”

“I have no grudges against you. Why would I avoid you?” Zong Yanxi smiled faintly as she spoke. “With how passionate you are with your invitation, I should be the one asking what you’re up to.”

“I think there’s been a misunderstanding between us, Ms. Lin.” Ling Wei explained. “I am sincere in my invitation. From the way you are rejecting me, though, it seems like you don’t trust me.”

Zong Yanxi scoffed. “I don’t even trust myself.”

How was she supposed to trust anyone?

Much less someone who had once brought harm upon her?

It was then when a thought suddenly popped into her mind. Could it be that she still was bribing people to hurt me?

Though, she didn’t have a reason to, did she?

Not to mention that I am currently representing Rui Mei to seal a collaboration with the Hengkang Group.

“I’ve still got work to do.” Zong Yanxi stalked toward the elevator after excusing herself.

“Ms. Lin.”

Ling Wei turned around and looked at her. “I’m here to tell you to watch your actions.”

“What are you trying to say?” Zong Yanxi was genuinely confused.

“Do you really think that I didn’t see you purposely approaching Jiang Mohan during the charity banquet the other night?” Ling Wei’s expression was hard and cold. “Anyone who dares covet him will be faced with a horrible plight.”

A revelation hit Zong Yanxi. Ling Wei was referring to that incident that had occurred at the entrance of the banquet. So she saw me deliberately sprain my ankle to fall into Jiang Mohan’s arms.

“I wasn’t planning on trying anything until you said that. But now that I think about it, President Jiang is indeed a fine man. He’s handsome and prestigious. I think I’m fairly fond of him. Thanks for the reminder!” She smiled. “President Jiang isn’t married to you, anyway, so that makes me fair in the game, right?”

Ling Wei looked about ready to blow up and bellowed at her. “How dare you!”

“He’s unmarried. I’m single. Why am I not allowed to chase him? Why won’t I dare?” She purposely dug out her phone. “Why don’t we give President Jiang a call and ask him if it’s alright for me to pursue him?”

“You…” Ling Wei pointed at her. She had lost her arrogant aura and was now looking like a bird whose feathers got ruffled. Lin Ruixi’s attitude had far surpassed her expectations.

“I’m not sure if President Jiang knows of your actions.” She deliberately dialed a number in the pretense of making a call, but Ling Wei rushed over and slapped her phone out of her hand. Her phone slammed onto the floor with a loud bang, and the screen cracked from the impact.

Zong Yanxi stood rooted to the ground as she stared at her phone with a cracked screen. Her eyebrows twitched. “I’ve recently bought this mobile phone. It’s fairly new.”

“How much?” Ling Wei grabbed her wallet out from her bag. “I’ll compensate you.”

“I don’t want your compensation. I want you to pick my phone up and hand it back to me.” Zong Yanxi’s expression darkened.

“Hmph.” Ling Wei mocked with disdain. “I’m not picking that up for you!”

And with that, she turned around and promptly left.

Zong Yanxi bent down to pick up her phone and stared at the screen that was now cracked. She kept a poker face and stalked over to the reception counter instead of heading up to her room. “Are there surveillance monitors in the lobby?”
