Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Making a Move (4)_1

Indeed, since Situ Xin was coming over later and there wasn’t much to do, she felt quite exhausted after being busy all day.

"Okay, then Master, do you need me to arrange a place for you to stay?" Liu Yuxiang asked.

"No need, you just stay here and rest easy. Ah Jie and I will take care of it," Situ Xin told Liu Yuxiang and then turned around to call Xia Yujie to leave.

When she was about to call Xia Yujie, she suddenly remembered that there was still Doctor Mao to deal with. Situ Xin let out a deep sigh and said to Baibai, "Ah, today has really been full of troubles."

In a low voice, Baibai muttered, "What ’full of troubles’? It’s only because you went looking for trouble when there was none that you stirred up all this mess, and even got me caught up in it, hungry alongside you."

Situ Xin paid no attention to Baibai’s mumbling. She concentrated and channeled her Spiritual Energy directly into Doctor Mao’s brain, then altered the memories in his mind. As Situ Xin did this, nobody noticed a thing.

After Situ Xin was sure she had altered the memories related to her appearance in Doctor Mao’s mind, she walked over and released Doctor Mao’s acupoints. Having done all this, Situ Xin’s face turned somewhat pale. "I hadn’t expected that this spell to alter someone’s memory would consume so much energy." Baibai just pursed its lips in response to Situ Xin’s complaint, thinking to itself, "The brain is such a delicate place, of course it consumes a lot of energy."

After finishing, Situ Xin said to Xia Yujie, "Ah Jie, let’s go." After greeting Liu Guobiao and Liu Yubin, Situ Xin and Xia Yujie left.

Only after Situ Xin and Xia Yujie had left did Doctor Mao come around. Touching his head in confusion, he said, "Eh, how did I end up here? I remember I was just in my office a moment ago. How did I get here?" Saying so, Doctor Mao didn’t even glance at the three Liu family members and headed straight to his office.

Left alone, Liu Guobiao and his two sons looked at each other, not understanding what had happened. However, Liu Yuxiang had a rough guess that Doctor Mao’s condition must be related to Situ Xin.

While Situ Xin was sound asleep within the space of a hotel in SH Province, the Loo Family home, specifically Loo Jianxin’s room, was anything but peaceful.

Loo Jianxin mused and after much thought, decided to come clean to his wife, Lu Juan, about the day’s events.

When Lu Juan returned from the company, she sensed that her husband, Loo Jianxin, seemed preoccupied and even caught him staring blankly at her several times. But she didn’t ask him about it, wanting to see when he would choose to be honest with her.

"Wife, I have something to tell you," Loo Jianxin said nervously.

"What is it? Go ahead and say it," Lu Juan replied while sitting at the dressing table, busying herself with her hair.

"Today," Loo Jianxin stammered, not knowing where to start.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t beat around the bush. Loo Jianxin. Have you done something to wrong me?" The unusual behavior of Loo Jianxin that evening, together with his current hesitation, almost drove Lu Juan to anger.

"Wife. I didn’t do anything to wrong you. Well, here’s the thing," Loo Jianxin exclaimed, harried by his wife’s outburst, his resolve bolstered, and told his wife, Lu Juan, about everything that had happened at the company after Situ Xin’s visit that afternoon.

Upon hearing this, Lu Juan reached out and grabbed one of Loo Jianxin’s ears, not too harshly, but Loo Jianxin still cried out, "Ouch, wife, please be gentle. This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn’t do it on purpose." Loo Jianxin said this, fully hoping to placate his wife’s anger.

"Hmph. Not on purpose? If you were, that would really be something. It’s lucky that Baby visited your company today, otherwise, who knows what might have happened one day," Lu Juan felt that Situ Xin was her lucky charm. As long as Situ Xin was around, she brought good fortune.

Thinking about it, if Situ Xin hadn’t gone to Loo Jianxin’s company today, leading to all those events and the secretary’s dismissal, who knows when that hidden bomb would have exploded.

"Yes, if she hadn’t suddenly come to the company today, none of this would have happened. You have no idea, now everyone at the company looks at me strangely." Of course, they would, the afternoon’s incident had quickly spread throughout the entire company. And what really shocked everyone was Situ Xin’s methods. Because of this incident, many women in the company who had been eyeing Loo Jianxin decided to back off for the time being and watch what would happen to Xiao Tao after her dismissal.

In fact, there would be no need to wait any longer because once Situ Xin’s decision was voiced, it was bound to be carried out to the end. What Loo Jianxin didn’t know was that, before long, any woman within the company who saw him would automatically keep their distance. Although many women wanted to marry up, when it came to their future prospects, they would choose their own careers because climbing the social ladder had its dangers, and Loo Jianxin was not an easy branch to climb after all. Not only did he have a legitimate wife at home, but he also had a fierce niece.

"It seems to me that you feel guilty, that’s why you think everyone’s gaze is strange. Right, Baby said to let me pick out a secretary for you, didn’t she?" Loo Jianxin didn’t dare to keep anything from his wife, knowing that his wife’s relationship with his precious niece was even better than with himself. If he hid anything and Situ Xin mentioned it to his wife one day, he wouldn’t be facing a sprinkling of rain but a tempestuous storm.

"Right, that’s what Baby said," Loo Jianxin admitted.

"Okay, I’ll start looking for a secretary for you starting tomorrow," Lu Juan said with a smile in her eyes. Asking herself to find a secretary for her husband might hurt their marital relationship, but since it was his niece’s idea, she was just fulfilling the request. In her heart, Lu Juan was extremely grateful to Situ Xin. Loo Jianxin’s secretary had always been an object of her vigilance.

"Thank you, wife," said Loo Jianxin, placing a kiss on his wife. Truth be told, Loo Jianxin had no anger toward Situ Xin’s actions that day. He wasn’t an unreasonable man and was quite satisfied with his current life and family. He didn’t want any trouble to arise. The incident with Qian Yanxue cast a shadow over Loo Jianxin’s heart; in fact, Situ Xin’s actions that day had actually been a relief to him.
