As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Where there is resistance, there is oppression.
If Song Qinian couldn't bring Xie Xueyi down, she became a thorn in Xie Xueyi's side.
Xie Xueyi would often team up with others to cause trouble for her.
They would sabotage her work.
And ostracize her in private.
Sometimes, it was so malicious that they would put cockroaches in Song Qinian's cup.
Their methods were utterly disgusting.
Yang Hongbin was still a bit wary of Song Qinian, having come from the CEO's office. To appease her, he organized a department dinner.
Miao Zi'ai worried about Song Qinian, "Nian Nian, are you going?"
Song Qinian smiled slightly, "Yes, why wouldn't I?"
Song Qinian was quite timid in front of Shen Chi Yan, but if others wanted to mess with her, she would never tolerate it.
During this time, Song Qinian finally confirmed one thing: Xie Xueyi was indeed Yang Hongbin's mistress. No wonder she could act so arrogantly in the planning department without anyone daring to say a word.
Venus Hotel.
The planning department sat at a table. Yang Hongbin raised his wine glass and smiled at everyone.
"Everyone, our planning department has two new employees. Let's welcome Song Qinian and Miss Lin Lanxing."
Lin Lanxing never hid her identity as a Miss Lin. Knowing she was only interning at Ding Sheng Group, everyone treated her with considerable respect.
After a round of toasting, everyone began to toast each other.
Everyone in the department knew about Xie Xueyi and Yang Hongbin's relationship, so they all went to toast Xie Xueyi, trying to curry favor with her.
Song Qinian observed coldly, making no move.
Lin Lanxing approached Song Qinian with her wine glass, "Song Qinian, how does it feel to be isolated, ostracized, and bullied?"
Song Qinian glanced at Lin Lanxing indifferently.
Lin Lanxing then sneered, "Can't you see? Xie Xueyi is Yang Hongbin's mistress. Going against her is like throwing an egg against a rock."
Song Qinian smiled.
Seeing the smile on her face, Lin Lanxing became furious.
This damned woman, being bullied to this extent, and still able to smile.
Not long after, Xie Xueyi stumbled to the restroom, and Yang Hongbin received a napkin.
Upon opening it, he saw lipstick written on it: "My darling, I'm waiting for you in the restroom."
Yang Hongbin had drunk a lot. The moment he saw these words, his blood boiled, and he also went to the restroom.
Shortly after he left, a woman in her forties rushed in. Her face was filled with rage as she asked, "Where is Yang Hongbin?"
"He seemed to have gone to the restroom. Who are you?"
The woman didn't answer and charged directly into the restroom.
"That person looks like the manager's wife. Is something going to happen?"
Everyone immediately followed.
Yang Hongbin and Xie Xueyi were passionately kissing at the entrance of the restroom when the woman saw them. Her anger erupted, "Yang Hongbin, you scumbag old man, how dare you keep a mistress behind my back!"
Yang Hongbin's wife was no easy pushover. She directly grabbed Xie Xueyi's hair and slapped her twice.
Xie Xueyi sobered up halfway from the beating, her head buzzing.
"Come on, everyone, quickly come and see this home-wrecker who seduced someone else's husband and destroyed a family!"
Xie Xueyi was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress. The woman violently tore it, shredding the dress and exposing her body to everyone's view.
Some people stepped forward to mediate, while others took out their phones to take pictures and record videos.
Song Qinian still watched coldly, her face devoid of any expression.
Seeing this, Lin Lanxing approached Song Qinian, "It was you?"
Song Qinian looked at Lin Lanxing and shrugged innocently.
Meanwhile, in another private room at the hotel, Shen Chi Yan, Gong Yu Qi, and Yu Si Nian were finally together.
"Hey, I heard from Wang Da Chui that your mute little wife is quite beautiful, simply a little sweet treat from heaven. When will you bring her out for us to see?"
"Wang Da Chui?"
"Oh, that's Nancy, my stylist."
Shen Chi Yan, wearing gloves, was idly stroking Xiao Hei's white fur. Xiao Hei purred comfortably, but Shen Chi Yan snorted, "A little sweet treat from heaven? Sweet? How do I not find it so?"
"You haven't tasted it, how do you know if it's sweet or not?"
Shen Chi Yan: "..."
As he reached Xiao Hei's neck, Shen Chi Yan noticed the bell on its collar. When it moved slightly, the bell would make a "ding ding dang" sound.
Thinking of how Song Qinian made absolutely no sound when she walked, Shen Chi Yan's dark eyes flickered, and he looked at Yu Si Nian, who was in a wheelchair, "Si Nian, where did you buy this bell?"
Yu Si Nian replied, "You don't have pets at home, why would you buy a bell?"
Shen Chi Yan didn't answer, merely raised an eyebrow slightly.
Gong Yu Qi chuckled, "Why even ask? It's definitely for his mute little wife."
Suddenly, there was some noise outside. Xiao Hei heard the commotion and meowed before jumping off Shen Chi Yan's lap and running out the door.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, don't run off..."
More and more people gathered. Song Qinian didn't want to watch anymore and was about to turn to leave when a fluffy object suddenly leaped into her arms.
"Meow~"
The touch in her hands was soft. Hearing the cat's meow and seeing a cat in her arms, a bloody and terrifying image suddenly flashed in Song Qinian's mind.
A boy holding a knife cut open the cat's belly and turned to smile at her brightly, "Nian Nian, look, its blood is so red. Should I collect it for you to make paint?"
Ah...
Song Qinian's face instantly turned as pale as paper. She fearfully threw the cat in her arms away.
"Meow meow~"
After falling to the ground, the cat meowed twice.
Gong Yu Qi saw Xiao Hei on the ground the moment he stepped outside.
"Xiao Hei!"
He rushed over and picked up Xiao Hei to check on it. Seeing that Xiao Hei was unharmed, he looked at Song Qinian with a cold face.
Before he could speak, he saw Song Qinian's face filled with terror, as if she had seen something horrifying, trembling, and her small face was devoid of any color.
The words Gong Yu Qi was about to utter got stuck in his throat.
What had Xiao Hei done to scare the young lady so much?
At this moment, Shen Chi Yan and Yu Si Nian also came out.
Seeing Shen Chi Yan, everyone was greatly startled.
"Mr. Shen..."
Shen Chi Yan then noticed that the person causing the commotion was from Ding Sheng Group's planning department.
Shen Chi Yan's expression turned extremely grim. With his arrival, Yang Hongbin's wife also dared not make a scene, and the farce finally came to an end.
Everyone else began to leave. Song Qinian also wanted to leave, but her legs were incredibly weak.
Lin Lanxing, surprised that Shen Chi Yan, Gong Yu Qi, and Yu Si Nian were all present, walked over with schadenfreude and said to Song Qinian, "Song Qinian, you dare to throw Si Nian Gege's cat. You're dead!"
Song Qinian felt the surroundings were chaotic. She couldn't hear anything, her vision and mind were filled with a bloody red.
Gong Yu Qi sensed something was wrong. Thinking she might have truly been scared by the cat, he was about to speak when Song Qinian's vision went black, and she collapsed.
Seeing this, Gong Yu Qi quickly caught her...
