553: Chapter 553: The Goddess Who Refuses to Easily Forgive Lin Fei 553: Chapter 553: The Goddess Who Refuses to Easily Forgive Lin Fei At the top floor of the Moongaze Building, in the large conference room of the Mu Group.

As Lin Fei declared, “My wife was pregnant, and I accompanied her to the hospital for a prenatal check-up yesterday.”

Originally, Mu Shanshan, wanting to use the formal occasion to question Lin Fei, her nominal husband, why he didn’t come to the office during the day, and how he dared not to return home at night,

was instantly dumbfounded!

Well, to be more precise, she was utterly shocked!

Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, was willing to sacrifice work time, to press Lin Fei in front of the senior executives of Mu Group, questioning why he had vanished without a trace yesterday and did not come to the company, and thus indirectly interrogate why Lin Fei had not returned home last night.

Indeed, because Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, understood the nature of Lin Fei, her nominal husband.

She knew well that unless she pressed him in such a formal setting, if it were just the two of them in private, given Lin Fei’s shameless and lazy nature, he most likely would not tell her the truth.

It was based on this thought that Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, disregarded the sideways glances of the other senior executives of the Mu Group in the conference room, and continuously pressed Lin Fei.

Mu Shanshan undoubtedly wanted to use this method to overpower him and thereby hear some truth from the mouth of Lin Fei, her nominal husband.

However, she clearly underestimated Lin Fei, her nominal husband’s, psychological resilience to her cold questioning.

In other words, Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, obviously misjudged the thickness of Lin Fei, her nominal husband’s, skin.

In front of all the senior executives of Mu Group, Lin Fei, her nominal husband, dared to blatantly lie to her!

Especially since among these senior executives of the Mu Group were Cao Zian and Shen Xuan, who were well aware of her marital relationship with Lin Fei!

After Lin Fei, her nominal husband finished speaking, Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, could even clearly sense the looks from Cao Zian and Shen Xuan towards her, filled with surprise and even doubt, and even carrying hints of congratulations!

What are you staring at!

She was going insane!

She hadn’t left the company at all yesterday!

Pregnant?!

Prenatal check-up?!

What does that have to do with her?!

And you, Lin Fei, can’t you be a bit more righteous when you lie!

Claiming to accompany his wife to the hospital for a prenatal check-up?!

He was clearly sneaking around with other women behind her back!

She was really going to be driven to death by anger!

At this moment, Mu Shanshan’s heart was undoubtedly collapsing!

That is precisely why, being in the conference room in front of the Mu Group’s senior executives, she needed to maintain her presidential authority, otherwise, Mu Shanshan, the iceberg CEO, would have likely already rushed over and slapped Lin Fei.

Dare defame her pregnancy, slap first, talk later!

Cough cough!

“Mu, since Vice Minister Lin was, accompanying his wife to the hospital for a prenatal checkup yesterday, I think it was due to his negligence that he forgot to report his leave to the HR department.

I urge you, Mu, in consideration of Vice Minister Lin’s past contributions to the company, to not hold him accountable for his tardiness this time.

At least, Mu, please give Vice Minister Lin a chance to redeem himself.”

Ling Weiwei, unaware of the marriage relationship between Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, and Lin Fei, saw how Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, seemingly annoyed, stared at Lin Fei after he finished speaking.

Ling Weiwei, worried about Lin Fei, subtly glanced at him and then, a woman bitting her thin lip, her beautiful eyes fixed on Mu Shanshan, spoke softly in defense of Lin Fei.

After Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, spoke, the previously stagnant and awkward atmosphere in the conference room inevitably dispersed.

Originally, the Mu Group executives who were shocked by Lin Fei’s statement about accompanying his wife for prenatal checkup, also mostly recovered their senses.

This included, notably, Cao Zian, the Security Department Minister who had gradually realized there was probably marital bickering between Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, and Lin Fei.

After Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, had spoken, the now aware Cao Zian also spoke up, “Minister Ling is right.

Mu, please consider, on account of Vice Minister Lin’s past contributions to the company and the importance of his work for the Security Department, grant Vice Minister Lin a chance for repentance.

I believe, Vice Minister Lin will definitely not let you down next time, Mu.”

With the successive interjections from Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, and Cao Zian, the brewing tension between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, inevitably eased.

Just as, Lin Fei, following the leads of Ling Weiwei and Cao Zian, wanted to smoothly alleviate that somewhat painful and awkward conversational atmosphere between him and Mu Shanshan, the CEO and his wife,

Feeling aggrieved, Mu Shanshan, who hadn’t been told the truth by Lin Fei, her thrift-shop husband but instead was implicated in malicious rumors about her pregnancy, spoke first.

“Minister Ling, Minister Cao, you are unaware.

I am fairly familiar with Vice Minister Lin’s wife.

As far as I know, Vice Minister Lin’s wife is not pregnant.” Once she had finished, Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, ignored Lin Fei, who was instantly dumbfounded.

Her cool, piercing eyes fixed on Lin Fei, she then spoke coldly, “Vice Minister Lin, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?

Or should I call your wife myself to confirm?!”

The word “confirm” was emphasized by Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, clearly indicating that she, Mu the CEO, was not inclined to let the matter of Lin Fei spreading rumors about her pregnancy slide easily.

Of course, the most fundamental reason was because of Lin Fei, her thrift-shop husband’s unexplained absences, leaving her waiting alone in the living room all night.

Moreover, Lin Fei was unwilling to tell her the truth and even indirectly slandered her.

Thus, how could she, Mu the CEO, let Lin Fei off easily!

Receiving the signal from Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, that she was not inclined to let the matter slide was clearly not only perceived by Lin Fei, the party involved.

Originally hoping to speak on behalf of Lin Fei to earn some recognition points from both Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, Cao Zian, upon hearing Mu Shanshan clearly targeting and unwilling to forgive Lin Fei, wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

Also keeping quiet was Ling Weiwei, who had a particularly intimate private relationship with Lin Fei.

Being Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO’s most trusted confidant, in such a formal setting, it was obviously inappropriate for Ling Weiwei to continue speaking well of Lin Fei after Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, had exposed Lin Fei’s lies.

In the conference room, the other Mu Group executives, who were not aware of the marital relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, sensed Mu Shanshan’s displeasure towards Lin Fei in her words.

Each of them instinctively thought that Mu Shanshan had finally lost patience with Lin Fei’s usual liberties at the company and therefore wanted to take action against him.

Adhering to this belief, several Mu Group executives mourned for Lin Fei in their hearts.

Two executives sitting next to Lin Fei even subconsciously moved their chairs, as if fearful of being caught in the crossfire…
