Kapitel 65: Deceive II
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
(At the Wanderfall Gardens in the city)
Mo Shan was in her pink silk pajamas, sitting on her sofa. A cup of steaming hot coffee was on her table, but it was left untouched.
Her morning routine was to switch on her iPad to get the latest news feeds, but the headlines on Weibo that day was of Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang.
The high resolution photo showed him gently putting on a necklace on her with an almost imperceptible smile on his face.
Huo Yunting looked as ravishing as ever in the news, but Mo Shan had never seen a smile as gentle as that on his face before.
Many Weibo celebrities and media companies were talking about them. The most common keyword was…
"We are pretty close."
Had she not seen them in action, she would have been fooled by this ambiguous explanation.
She threw her iPad onto the wall opposite the room. The screen cracked, but still glowed with a picture of the two of them behaving very affectionately with each other, as if they were laughing at her own failure.
"Like mother, like daughter!"
Mo Shan humped coldly and reached for her phone.
As she made her way upstairs, the call connected.
Mo Shan said, "Do something for me!"
…
When Lu Zhaoyang arrived at the office, it was already half past eleven in the morning. When she got away from Huo Yunting, she promptly went to a quiet hallway to call her mother.
Her call got through quickly.
"Yang Yang, you alright?" Xue Yuming asked panickedly.
"I'm fine, mum. I had an important meeting this morning, so my phone was on silent. I'm sorry it took awhile to return your call."
She had to lie. In fact, she often had to resort to that recently.
"It's alright. Mummy's just worried about you." She hesitated for a moment before asking, "What happened last night? Don't lie to me, Yang Yang. If you're being mistreated, just come home!"
"There was an auction last night, and I attended it with him as his secretary. I noted casually that the necklace looked nice, and he bought it for me."
She tried to keep her tone light. Fortunately, her mother could not see the forced smile on her face through the phone.
"I see, then I'm relieved! I spoke to your father just now. He won't interfere, so you just ask Yunting to behave."
"Alright, I'll let him know."
Knowing Huo Yunting, he would probably want to spice things up even more.
Lu Zhaoyang returned to the secretary office. She heard the shuffling and bustling inside and knew exactly what they were gossiping about.
She stepped inside and gave them a withering look. "Should I buy all of you a few packets of peanuts so you can snack while you chat?"
"..."
The secretaries all lowered their heads and pretended to be busy.
She sat down at her own place, finished up a few urgent tasks, and left early for lunch.
Breakfast did not happen, so she was starving right now.
The moment Lu Zhaoyang was gone, the secretary department buzzed to life once again. Yu Man'er watched her retreating figure and pursed her lips.
In the afternoon, Yu Man'er took advantage of the break session and approached Lu Zhaoyang. She bowed her head down and spoke quietly, "Secretary Lu, could you step out for a second? There's something I'd like to tell you."
