Chapter 544: 544, scheming, setting a trap
Mei Jun replied, “It means she has never considered you as a friend from the beginning.”
After saying that, she looked at Song Qinghuan, “Who is it? You’re not suspecting me, are you? If you are, then get out of my sight. I never want to see you again.”
“How could it be you? It’s a colleague at my company, we were quite close,” Song Qinghuan said, and told Mei Jun everything about her recent encounter with Bai Rubing.
After a moment of thought, Mei Jun frowned and replied, “If that’s the case, you better stay away from him. You don’t need to pay too much attention to such people, there are quite a few of them in the workplace.”
“I thought the same. Now that I know her character, I should just avoid her. But after finding out about it, I’ve been feeling uncomfortable, as if she has something to do with it,” Song Qinghuan voiced her suspicions.
“What is it?” Mei Jun asked.
“Remember a while ago when I nearly lost my life, and almost got Zhan Cheng killed, due to two baseless rumors?” Song Qinghuan repeated what happened before to Mei Jun.
Mei Jun’s face darkened, she asked seriously, “You suspect it was her?”
“Despite finding out that she’s not quite the person I imagined her to be, I can’t help but think it’s not possible.” Song Qinghuan talked like that, but there was another kind of indescribable unease in her heart.
This feeling of unease was quietly stirring in her heart, and she couldn’t dismiss it.
Mei Jun said carefully, “Suspicion usually originates from the heart, but these kinds of thoughts come from our daily observations. Qinghuan, I believe you should be cautious about this, or else there will definitely be a next time.”
Song Qinghuan lifted her hand to lightly touch her temple, as if she had a headache.
She closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and made a decision in her heart. She then looked at Mei Jun, “Junjun, I need your help.”
Mei Jun nodded, “Sure, just say it. If I can help, I definitely will.”
Song Qinghuan smiled in thanks, then leaned in to whisper in Mei Jun’s ear.
In the afternoon, Song Qinghuan went to work. After today and tomorrow, it would be the New Year.
Everyone didn’t find it strange when Song Qinghuan didn’t come to work in the morning. It seemed that her frequent absences had become the norm.
However, when she arrived in the afternoon, something was off. Her phone kept ringing but she didn’t pick up, only continuously pressing to dismiss the calls.
Yu Yang, who sat next to her, asked her what was wrong and why she wasn’t answering the phone. But Song Qinghuan seemed distracted, and simply smiled. However, the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
For the meeting in the afternoon, Song Qinghuan, Bai Rubing, and Yu Yang headed to the conference room to prepare the documents.
Song Qinghuan left for a bit during the meeting and left her phone on the table.
The “ding, ding, ding” sound of a message notification rang. Bai Rubing instinctively glanced over, and the content preview on the lock screen left her shocked and speechless.
She swallowed, instinctively touched her chest, and after a while, she calmed down. Seeing that Song Qinghuan was still not back, and Yu Yang had his back to her while organizing some documents.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Bai Rubing reached out to pick up the phone to read the message again. After confirming that what she’d seen was real, she quickly put the phone down.
