"Sister, there's no need for this, I accidentally fell, there's no need to check the cameras. I won't pursue this matter..."
"Don't say that. How can you not pursue it? Didn't you just righteously say I pushed you? It's better to check the footage. If you get hurt or injured anywhere, and you go back to complain to your parents, I can't afford that."
Jiang Shiyu saw Jiang Yurou's panic clearly but had no intention of letting her off the hook so easily.
She was the one who started this. In the past, at the Gu family's place, Jiang Yurou would cause trouble, and even with irrefutable evidence, there was nothing she could do about her. But this was Lingsheng, not home!
"It's all my fault for causing everyone to misunderstand. I tripped myself. Sister didn't push me, so there's no need to check the surveillance..."
Jiang Yurou hurriedly tried to find a way out. If they really checked the surveillance, she would be utterly humiliated!
"How can that be? You just adamantly said Xia Xia pushed you, and now you're saying Xia Xia didn't push you. You keep changing your story. I think we should do as Xia Xia suggested and check the surveillance. No matter what the truth is, at least there will be concrete evidence, so we don't wrongly accuse someone. What do you all think?"
Fang Yuan wholeheartedly believed Jiang Shiyu. Seeing Jiang Shiyu refute, she followed Jiang Shiyu's lead.
"Yes, let's check the surveillance as Fang Yuan suggested. No matter what happened, it's better to see the evidence."
"That's right. Don't give Jiang Shiyu an easy way out. Let's check the surveillance and restore the truth. If Jiang Shiyu really pushed you, we will definitely make her apologize to you!"
The colleagues at Lingsheng were all highly educated and believed in evidence. As they spoke, a colleague headed towards the surveillance room to retrieve the footage.
Jiang Shiyu also walked over, followed by a group of colleagues heading to the surveillance room. Jiang Yurou lagged behind, her face pale, biting her bloodless lower lip. Even without looking, she knew the outcome!
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved. Since it was footage from a few minutes ago, although the camera was on the ceiling, it clearly recorded everything.
Jiang Yurou found Jiang Shiyu first, then grabbed Jiang Shiyu's hand. Judging by her expression and actions, she was clearly provoking Jiang Shiyu. Then, she seemed to grip Jiang Shiyu's wrist forcefully, causing Jiang Shiyu pain as she struggled, and then fell.
They happened to walk in and witness the scene that had just unfolded.
Fang Yuan was greatly shocked after watching, never expecting someone to be so calculating.
Silence filled the surveillance room for a full minute.
"Everyone, disperse. The truth is clear now."
Jiang Shiyu patted her stomach, which rumbled. All this commotion had made her bento cold.
She took her bento to the pantry to heat it in the microwave. Fang Yuan walked in, holding a bento box. "You haven't finished eating, have you? This is hot. Eat this."
"Thank you." Jiang Shiyu felt a warmth in her heart and was deeply touched. Although it had been less than a week, Fang Yuan had a great personality and strong principles. They quickly became friends, and she was so thoughtful and caring.
Jiang Shiyu ate, and Fang Yuan sat beside her, resting her chin on her hand, chatting. They talked about the CEO of Lingsheng Group, and Fang Yuan's eyes couldn't help but reveal adoration. "He's so handsome, young and promising. Not only is he capable, but he's also incredibly handsome, even more so than Korean oppas. How can there be such a perfect man in the world... He's my idol!"
Jiang Shiyu chewed her food while listening to Fang Yuan's description, and Murong Cheng's image appeared in her mind.
Although Murong Cheng was an ordinary person with a not-so-high salary, it didn't affect his appearance. Such good looks would make him a top attraction in any nightclub. To be so handsome and still stick to a low-paying job, not being tempted by the high salaries of nightclubs, he was truly a good man.
Thinking of it this way, Murong Cheng's status in Jiang Shiyu's heart instantly elevated.
When school ended, Jiang Shiyu waited for Murong Cheng as usual. She noticed that Murong Cheng had changed cars again. If Murong Cheng hadn't rolled down the window and stopped beside her, Jiang Shiyu would have barely recognized him.
"What car is this?" Although Jiang Shiyu didn't know much about luxury cars, this car, from its exterior to its interior, didn't look cheap.
"That car... a friend borrowed it to run errands. They lent me this car to drive."
Murong Cheng seemed very tired today. As he spoke, he raised his hand to loosen his tie, resting one hand on the steering wheel. The tie was pulled directly from his neck, and he took off his suit jacket, rolling up his shirt sleeves to reveal his well-defined arms. He settled into a comfortable posture, his voice deep and lazy.
This scene was as restrained as it could be.
Jiang Shiyu swallowed and got into the car, fastening her seatbelt. "What kind of work do you do? How do you know so many powerful and wealthy friends!"
And Murong Cheng picked her up from work so punctually every day...
Could it be...
Murong Cheng was driving for a high-level executive at Lingsheng Group! Knowing so many powerful friends and driving different cars!
Besides being a driver, Jiang Shiyu couldn't think of any other possibility!
Murong Cheng waited for Jiang Shiyu to fasten her seatbelt before starting the car. He glanced at Jiang Shiyu indifferently, a hint of a smile in his deep voice, "Mm, it's pretty much what you think."
Pretty much what she thought? That meant he was a driver!
No wonder his driving skills were so good...
Jiang Shiyu figured it out and felt relieved. "You're so handsome, it's a waste to be a driver..."
Murong Cheng paused slightly, a hint of helplessness surfacing in his deep dark eyes. It seemed he had overestimated her judgment. "What do you mean?"
"You're so handsome, if you went to a nightclub to do that kind of thing, you'd definitely make a fortune. Forget luxury cars and houses, you wouldn't even need to borrow from friends!"
Jiang Shiyu revealed all her thoughts.
Murong Cheng stopped at a traffic light, gripping the steering wheel tightly, and gritted his teeth slightly. "What did you say?"
This idiot, telling him to be a gigolo?
Murong Cheng was almost amused to death by Jiang Shiyu's words.
"I was just kidding, don't take it to heart." Seeing Murong Cheng's displeased expression, Jiang Shiyu stopped talking.
Murong Cheng drove to Cui Jing Xuan. Jiang Shiyu noticed there were very few people there today. As they walked in, apart from the waiters, it was just the two of them, as if the place had been booked out. But how could the man beside her have the ability to book out a place? Perhaps it was just a coincidence that no one was here at this time.
Meanwhile, Murong Xue received a phone call and immediately left the Murong family residence for Cui Jing Xuan. Before her car had even come to a complete stop, she saw Murong Cheng walking out, holding a woman's hand. As it was late and they were still some distance away, Murong Xue couldn't see the woman's face clearly from inside her car.
By the time she got out of the car, they had already gotten into their car. That Aston Martin sped away, disappearing into the night.
