Chapter 970 - 970 Completely Not What She Thought It Was

Yet she couldn’t show even the slightest hint of her true feelings, pretending to sympathize with Xing You, “I think you’re great, it’s a pity that he chose Lin Gantang in the end. It makes me feel indignant for you; you liked him before Lin Gantang did.”

Xing You offered a bitter smile, “Maybe love doesn’t care about who came first.”

“Are you going to give up?” Feng Yangyang, as if the most sincere friend, started plotting for her, “That’s true, after all, he’s married now, but… if you can’t be lovers, can’t you still be friends? I mean you and Lin Gantang.”

“I understand, being friends with Lin Gantang means I could have the chance to see Mr. Wen.” Xing You’s expression was full of dejection, the image of someone longing for something unattainable, “If I can’t marry him, then just watching him from a distance, or speaking to him occasionally would be nice.”

“Would you like me to find out if Mr. Wen will attend the cocktail party in a few days for you?” Feng Yangyang enticed, “Lin Gantang is pregnant and definitely won’t be going.”

Xing You caught on in a second, unconsciously clutching at her sleeve, “Can you? No… that won’t do, I can’t be the other woman, my mom would kill me.”

Feng Yangyang’s eyes flickered, sensing that she was tempted.

She couldn’t continue to coax her, or else it would be too easy to expose her own intentions. Having brought it up, she wanted Xing You to struggle internally before finally hardening her resolve and falling headlong into a point of no return, didn’t she?

Feng Yangyang hadn’t wanted to continue meddling, especially since Lin Gantang had withdrawn from Gu Zhichuan’s life. But she had struggled to get close to Gu Zhichuan, painstakingly interviewing to get into Gu Corporation, and after several months, the affection she hoped for had not progressed at all.

To her shock, she realized that although Lin Gantang had given up on Gu Zhichuan, Gu Zhichuan couldn’t let go of Lin Gantang.

Lin Gantang’s existence was still such an eyesore.

So, Feng Yangyang engineered coincidences to get close to Xing You—more precisely, to find another scapegoat.

Xing You was interested in Wen Yanqing, and Feng Yangyang planned to stoke Xing You’s jealousy and hatred towards Lin Gantang to their deepest levels. When something unfortunate happened to someone, it would naturally seem like an emotional dispute, perfectly reasonable.

There was a ruthless gleam in Feng Yangyang’s eyes. She was ready to repeat the old trick, to kill by borrowing another’s hand. The method didn’t matter if it was antiquated, as long as it worked.

Only, Xing You wasn’t as easily deceived as Shi Muzhen had been; she needed to be lured more subtly, hence the slower progress.

Xing You didn’t notice her thoughts at the moment, having finished her business and small talk. She stood up and asked, “Is President Gu in the office? I’d like to see him.”

Feng Yangyang frowned, feeling uncomfortable about another woman seeking out the man she was interested in, especially since Xing You was more attractive than she was.

Therefore, she asked subconsciously, “Do you need something from President Gu? I’m his secretary; I can pass on the message for you.”

“Since I’m already here, don’t trouble yourself, Yangyang.” Xing You patted her shoulder in a very friendly manner, “After all, the Xing and Gu families have some collaborations, and if I don’t go and pay my respects, my dad will scold me for not knowing how to behave properly.”

Business matters? Feng Yangyang was somewhat relieved.

She escorted Xing You, and then, something occurred to her, she asked, “By the way, did you bump into anyone when you were buying that skirt for me? I remember people from your circle like to shop there.”

Xing You shrugged, “No, I left right after buying the skirt, I didn’t linger.”

Chills ran through her inside; this person was even more cautious than she had imagined.

Having left Gu Zhichuan’s office, Xing You made her way to the secretary’s office, and sure enough, she saw Feng Yangyang still staring in the direction of the CEO’s office. Xing You waved goodbye to her openly, her demeanor so honest that it didn’t raise any suspicion in Feng Yangyang.

After leaving Gu Corporation, Xing You’s smile slowly faded from her face.

Initially, she had befriended Feng Yangyang feeling that they had similar temperaments, but later on, she realized that things were not at all as she had thought.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
