Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Li Xin’s Framing and Slander

Li Xin’s covert affair with a certain high-ranking executive at the company was, in fact, no longer a secret among the employees, but out of fear of Li Xin’s sometimes excessive methods, nobody dared to mention it openly in her presence, nor would anyone dare to utter a word about it. Otherwise, if it reached the executive’s ears, they would suspect they would be in deep trouble.

Being fired on the spot would have been one thing, but that executive wouldn’t just let you off that easily—playing dirty behind the scenes was a given.

As a result, even though there were many who despised Li Xin, people only talked about her behind her back; no one dared to bring such issues up for open discussion.

Lu An’an, however, was an exception; in the company, aside from the few top bosses, she was fearless and dared to provoke anyone.

When people overheard Lu An’an boldly naming Li Xin as the mistress, their eyes gleamed even brighter with excitement, eagerly awaiting to hear the gossip they most craved, straight from Lu An’an’s mouth.

Li Xin’s face changed color instantly upon hearing Lu An’an’s words, turning green, then white, then red as if performing a face-changing act. Her eyes glared at Lu An’an with such intensity as if she was about to devour her alive the very next moment.

Ever since she joined the company, although her secret was not exactly unknown, no one had dared to openly speak of it.

Yet Lu An’an looked at her with contempt and disdain, completely indifferent to her murderous gaze, and mockingly said, "Oh, sorry, I’ve always been blunt and straightforward, I shouldn’t have been so honest and stated the facts like that."

Li Xin’s face grew even uglier, but her upbringing restrained the rage that she was barely able to contain. After a moment, she suddenly laughed—a laugh laced with irony as she glanced over at Lu An’an, then turned her attention to Song Qiao.

Song Qiao noticed Li Xin’s glance and didn’t know if it was simply uncomfortable to be watched by her or if she inherently disliked such women like Li Xin, but when she saw Li Xin’s eyes settle on her, an ominous feeling slowly rose within her.

Sure enough, after Li Xin gave Song Qiao a laugh, her voice—somewhat gentle yet not lacking in allure—resonated clearly, "You dislike me, and naturally, I feel the same, especially towards you, Miss Song Qiao..."

Pausing for a moment, Li Xin’s tone shifted as she continued, "Miss Song, I’ve always been curious, instead of being the esteemed Miss of the Song Family, why would you join this company? If I recall correctly, the Song Family’s business is similar to ours. Could it be that you’re here to poach talent for your family clandestinely?"

Li Xin’s voice was very pleasant to the ear, yet her words felt unsettlingly passive-aggressive, especially when she emphasized the phrase "Miss of the Song Family" with a bit more force.

Upon hearing Li Xin’s words, everyone present was astounded. While Li Xin did not specifically mention which Song Family, An City didn’t just have one Song Family, but when it came to companies of similar nature, apart from their corporate rival, there was no other.
