Chapter 215 : Bai Xuan pretends to be pitiful

Bai Xuan watched helplessly as her senior hurried over, but she couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothing.

In front of so many people, he didn’t hide his concern at all and directly carried Lu Yunyao away.

Did he cherish Lu Yunyao that much?

Bai Xuan’s nose tinged with bitterness. She instinctively tried to clench her fist but accidentally aggravated her injury, causing an unbearable pain.

But this pain was nothing compared to the heartache she felt.

How ridiculous! When her senior rushed over just now, she had naively thought he was worried about her.

In the end, he didn’t even look her way.

It seemed he could only see Lu Yunyao.

But she was the one who had been seriously injured… Her hand was bleeding so much that even strangers felt sorry for her. Did her senior not feel anything at all?

Was his heart made of stone?

“Miss Bai, I brought the first aid kit. Let me help you bandage your wound.”

Bai Xuan nodded, her face pale.

She sat on the sofa like a puppet, unresponsive as others helped her with the bandaging.

Yet her gaze remained fixed on that tall, imposing figure.

Hearing their conversation, Bai Xuan stiffly tugged at the corners of her mouth.

So her senior hadn’t seen anything. Even so, he steadfastly sided with Lu Yunyao.

A wave of intense jealousy surged within her, filling her throat with bitterness.

Why?

Why!

What was so good about Lu Yunyao? Why was her senior so concerned about her?

Even the usually calm senior didn’t care about evidence and unconditionally favored Lu Yunyao!

But thankfully, Lu Yunyao had no evidence to prove her innocence.

After this incident, if Lu Yunyao dared to come to Fu’s Group again, she would inevitably face others’ pointed fingers and whispers.

Bai Xuan looked down at her injury, her expression completely devoid of emotion, as if she weren’t the one hurt.

Fortunately, her act of self-harm hadn’t been in vain.

With this incident, Lu Yunyao wouldn’t be able to casually come to Fu’s Group, giving Bai Xuan more opportunities to get close to her senior.

…

“Who is that girl? Isn’t the CEO usually indifferent to women? How did he just carry her away?”

“There have been rumors about the CEO’s private life lately. Could this girl be his girlfriend?”

“Isn’t she the one who dared to watch cartoons during the CEO’s meeting and even fell asleep?”

“No wonder the CEO is so anxious, it turns out she’s the one who holds his heart. Poor Bai Xuan, she can only suffer in silence.”

“Although I don’t really like Bai Xuan, I do feel a bit sorry for her this time. She’s clearly injured, but because the other party is the CEO’s girlfriend, this matter will likely just be swept under the rug.”

Lu Yunyao listened to the discussions around her, feeling anxious.

It was one thing that she couldn’t prove her own innocence, but she didn’t want to implicate her Mr!

If rumors continued to spread, her Mr’s reputation would definitely be affected.

Fu Sichan’s expression turned cold. “I’ll have Assistant Wang notify everyone that no one is allowed to discuss this matter at the company.”

Lu Yunyao shook her head in disagreement.

“Mr, that won’t help. The more you try to stop them from discussing it, the more curious they’ll become.”

People would not only think Lu Yunyao was arrogant, but also that her Mr. was naive, favoring his girlfriend and blurring the lines of right and wrong!

If her Mr. was to manage such a large company, he needed the trust of his subordinates; otherwise, how could he further his career?

Just as Lu Yunyao felt helpless and anxious, the receptionist who had poured her juice ran over, holding her phone.

“Um… Miss Lu, I have the video from earlier.”

Lu Yunyao’s eyes lit up. “Did you capture everything?”

“Yes, I recorded everything starting from when Bai Xuan took the glass.”

The receptionist had initially intended to take the video discreetly and not share it, to avoid trouble for herself.

But she remembered how Lu Yunyao had smiled brightly at her and thanked her sweetly when she poured her juice.

If a pure and kind girl like that were to be wronged, she felt she could never forgive herself!

So, she mustered her courage and handed over the video.

Fu Sichan glanced at the video.

In it, Lu Yunyao was calmly sitting on the sofa when Bai Xuan suddenly brought the glass up to her face.

Lu Yunyao was startled and instinctively waved her hand.

But she hadn’t used any force at all!

As a result, Bai Xuan exaggeratedly fell to the ground, even shattering the glass on purpose, drawing everyone’s attention!

The receptionist explained, “I’m sorry, Miss Lu, I meant to film you… I didn’t expect to capture this incident.”

Lu Yunyao blinked in confusion. “Why were you filming me?”

“Because I told my colleagues that you were very pretty, even more beautiful than a star. They didn’t believe me, so I wanted to take a sneak shot.”

The receptionist had been annoyed by Bai Xuan’s dismissive attitude, so she wanted to capture a comparison between Lu Yunyao and Bai Xuan.

After all, one was kind and easy to get along with, while the other was proud and unpleasant.

You need a comparison to see the difference!

Unexpectedly, she accidentally recorded the moment Bai Xuan staged the fall.

Fu Sichan handed the phone to Assistant Wang. “You take care of the rest and clarify the situation.”

Then he pointed to the receptionist. “Promote her and triple her salary.”

The receptionist covered her mouth in excitement. “Thank you, CEO! Thank you, Miss Lu!”

She was so happy that she felt like jumping on the spot.

Indeed, this Miss Lu was a lucky star, whoever befriended her would enjoy good fortune.

Thank goodness she couldn’t bear to watch Lu Yunyao being pointed at earlier and decided to hand over the video otherwise, she wouldn’t have received such a reward!

After that, Fu Sichan took Lu Yunyao’s hand and led her out of the company.

“Mr, my phone is still on the sofa.”

“Wait here, I’ll go get it for you.”

With shards of glass all over the ground, Fu Sichan wouldn’t let her step on it.

He took long strides to the lounge area and quickly spotted the little girl’s phone on the coffee table.

Her phone was in a pink case, adorned with a cute cartoon charm.

Such a soft and adorable phone looked so out of place in the hands of the cold and aloof Fu Sichan.

He noticed the phone was still on a call and casually hung it up.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanqing, who was enjoying the show, suddenly found it all cut off!

—

“Senior Brother, my hand really hurts—”

Bai Xuan tried to grab Fu Sichan’s coat, but he frowned and dodged her.

She initially wanted to grasp his hand, but the deep disgust in his eyes pinned her to the spot.

With a sorrowful expression, she forced a self-deprecating smile. “Senior Brother, do you really dislike me this much?”

“If you hate me so much, why did you agree to let me stay by your side?”
