Chapter 139: Confrontation and Accusations at Gathering

What’s up with Qiao Na today? Usually, it’s just her and Lan Shan against each other, but now she’s spouting nonsense after a few drinks.

Yu Tian, who has a decent relationship with her, stood up, intending to pull her away.

"Don’t touch me," Qiao Na shoved Yu Tian away.

Yu Tian nearly lost her balance and almost fell, but luckily someone caught her just in time to prevent her from hitting the ground.

After she steadied herself, she glanced at Qiao Na and scoffed inwardly.

If you insist on running into the gunfire, don’t blame me for not helping you later.

At this moment, how could Qiao Na know what she was thinking? With all that alcohol, her mind was already a mess.

Lan Shan looked at Qiao Na, knowing she was drunk. So she spoke up, "What did you mean earlier? Make it clear."

Without thinking, Qiao Na said, "Lan Shan, how much did Ye Xinluo pay you? To make you work so hard for her?"

"And Ye Xinluo entered the company because you recommended her, right? Seems she gave you quite some benefits."

The more she listened, the fiercer her brow furrowed. She figured it out; Qiao Na was deliberately causing trouble.

So, she replied, "Is this important?" Her tone was indifferent, hiding any emotion.

"Of course, I’m curious how she managed to become the CEO’s assistant as soon as she joined the company?"

"You’re just being a sour grape since you can’t have it!" Lan Shan sneered, having already known that people in the company were displeased with Xinluo because of this; hence, she wasn’t surprised.

"Hah, do you think that’s possible? I just think it’s a pity—a young person like her would do dirty things for a position."

"I can’t compare."

Those present gasped; Qiao Na was usually arrogant in the company. Some were watching coldly, and others were whispering, but no one spoke up for her.

Internally, they gave her a thumbs up for daring to say anything.

They had discussed this topic privately but never dared to voice it, partly out of deference to Lan Shan.

And partly out of concern that if their assumptions were true and Ye Xinluo had backing, it’d be thankless to interfere.

Lan Shan didn’t get angry but laughed instead, saying, "Only someone with such a filthy mind would say things like this. Or is it that you’re quite skilled in such matters?"

Pfft...

Someone snickered, making Qiao Na feel utterly humiliated, leading her to say even harsher words, "Don’t slander people. Ye Xinluo might have done something shady. Since you hang out with her frequently, for all we know, you two might be in cahoots."

Lan Shan replied airily, "Heh, don’t compare me to someone like you. Who doesn’t know how many people you’ve slept with just for a secretary position..."

"What did you say?" Qiao Na was furious and tried to grab her, but Lan Shan had anticipated her move and easily dodged her.

Qiao Na missed, unexpectedly tripping and fell flat on the ground, face down.

Laughter erupted around them as Lan Shan stood by, watching coldly.

Bullying her is one thing, but bullying Xinluo is unforgivable. Besides, she hadn’t said much, and yet Qiao Na reacted so strongly. It seemed she inadvertently spoke the truth.

Her disdain for Qiao Na grew even more. Standing there, she felt the entire room made her uncomfortable.

So she decided to grab her bag and leave.

They hadn’t wanted to attend this gathering today; if it hadn’t been difficult to refuse, they wouldn’t have come at all.
