Chapter 243: Chapter 242: It Would Be Great to Get in Touch with Cang Xue
Bai Shuli’s furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing the words, and a look of joy spread across his face.
At last, he had found the traitor who disrupted his cooperation, nearly causing that esteemed gentleman to abandon him. The losses involved were immeasurable in terms of money!
Bai Fangfei’s eyes flickered as she began resolutely, “It’s Lu Mian! That woman who always opposes me, Lu Mian!”
“Her?” Bai Shuli paused, “What does she have to do with this?”
At this moment, Bai Shuli was unaware that his “casual help for his niece” had cost a significant business cooperation.
He only knew that someone in their company had offended Ya Qing’s fans, and in a fit of pique, Ya Qing had cancelled the negotiations.
What had Lu Mian done?
Bai Fangfei had her story well rehearsed. She went all out, exaggerating the events from start to finish.
“Uncle, I only made her wait a few extra minutes as a small punishment. Besides, even if the security hadn’t stopped her, she would still have to wait upon arriving at the company!”
Bai Shuli was aware of this matter. A little squabble between young girls wasn’t interesting.
“But I never expected Lu Mian to be so vengeful! She must have slandered me in front of Ya Qing, not only humiliating me but also destroying such an important cooperation for the Bai Family!”
She omitted the mocking words she had said to Lu Mian downstairs and swiftly placed all the blame on Lu Mian.
In short, Lu Mian had maliciously sought revenge, escalating the conflict to a familial level.
“This abandoned daughter!”
The more Bai Shuli listened, the more irate he became. After a quick analysis, he believed about eighty percent of Bai Fangfei’s story. His face darkening with condemnation, he spoke without restraint, “No wonder the Lu Family doesn’t want her! So young, yet so malicious!”
Girls’ pranks were one thing, but when it involved interests, who would tolerate her?
Clearly, she was a delinquent youth untempered by society, irresponsible in her words and actions!
“Uncle, what do we do now?” Bai Fangfei breathed a great sigh of relief, seeing Bai Shuli wasn’t angry with her.
“We must secure the cooperation with Ya Qing, and teach that Lu Mian a lesson,” Bai Shuli quickly decided. Since their conflict with Ya Qing was merely due to the ramblings of a fanatic like Lu Mian, the problem was much simpler!
Even if he didn’t confront Lu Mian directly, simply pressuring the Lu Family a little would lead them to act!
But for now, the most pressing task was the cooperation.
“If only we could get in touch with Cang Xue,” mused Bai Shuli. Cang Xue and Ya Qing were best partners; if he could persuade Cang Xue to cooperate, wouldn’t the situation with Ya Qing naturally resolve itself?
Bai Fangfei took careful note of this.
To redeem herself and to maintain her place in class, she too must strive to facilitate this cooperation!
Xiao Qimo had been investigating the identity of the killer in the equipment room all this time.
However, the killer, having been trained, took his own life before facing Mo Si’s harsh interrogation, leaving no clues behind.
The more elusive the information, the more problematic it became.
Concerned about Lu Mian, Xiao Qimo didn’t relax for a moment, “I’ll be away for two days this time; continue the investigation into the assassin’s identity.”
Mo Nie, however, respectfully took his place behind Xiao Qimo, standing properly, silent but clearly stating his intent.
He was not included in the “you” that was meant to continue the investigation.
With no one by his side, Ye Jinwen helplessly spread his hands, “Brother, you’ve joined the wrong side!”
Mo Nie disregarded him, turned respectfully to the side, and bowed his head, “Master, allow me to accompany you.”
Xiao Qimo glanced at him and waved dismissively, “You have an even more important task.”
