Bo Cixue picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, feeling extremely bitter.
Back at her desk, Bo Cixue could not concentrate on her work. After several data errors, Song Man, who was working on a project with her, said angrily, “What’s wrong? Are you distracted? Don’t you know that our work is very serious and we can’t make mistakes?”
Bo Cixue did not have the energy to argue with Song Man. She had indeed not done her job well.
Yan Yu walked over and said, “Cixue, are you tired from working overtime? I think you should go back and rest early after work tonight!”
Bo Cixue nodded. “I’ll finish this data as soon as possible and not drag our team down.”
When it was time to get off work, Bo Cixue did not go back and continued to sit in front of the computer, trying not to let her thoughts run wild and to concentrate on work.
Until the next morning, she rubbed her sore neck and got up to get some exercise.
Her phone vibrated and she glanced at the caller ID. It was Nan Xun.
Bo Cixue answered the call and Nan Xun’s sobbing voice trailed from the other end. “Cixue, do you have time? Can you come to the Capital Hotel?”
Nan Xun was a strong woman in the workplace, a resolute and feared female devil.
It was rare for her to be so weak.
Bo Cixue could hear that something was wrong but she did not ask further. After saying okay, she left the research institute.
Bo Cixue took a taxi to the Capital Hotel.
When she arrived at the room Nan Xun had mentioned, Bo Cixue saw that the door was not closed and she pushed the door to go in.
Nan Xun sat by the bed with a bathrobe wrapped around her. Her hair, which had always been combed neatly, fell messily over her cheek. She had her head slightly lowered, her eyes red and swollen. The hands clasped in front of her were clenched tightly and the veins on the back of her hands protruded out.
A tall and handsome figure was standing in front of the French windows.
Bo Cixue was not unfamiliar with that figure.
Tang Mo!
Seeing this, Bo Cixue immediately understood what had happened.
She was furious. “Brother Tang Mo, I don’t care how you play usually, but how could you do this to my best friend!”
Bo Cixue walked up to Nan Xun and thought of what she had experienced last night. Her heart ached and she pulled him into her arms. “I’ll help you get justice.”
Bo Cixue had many friends, but only Nan Xun and Tang Wu could put her heart at ease.
How could she not be angry after what had happened to her best friend?
Especially when the other party was the famous playboy, Tang Mo!
When Tang Mo heard Bo Cixue’s words, he frowned and punched the French windows, saying with a faint smile, “Why don’t you ask your tomboy best friend whose room this is?”
Bo Cixue was speechless.
Nan Xun pursed his pale lips tightly. Although Nan Xun usually had the appearance of a strong woman and was feared by everyone, she was not bad looking and her facial features were beautiful. However, her aura was too cold usually and did not have the softness and charm of a woman, which created an illusion that she was not feminine.
“Ah Xun, what happened?”
“I was drunk last night and mistook him for someone else.”
Bo Cixue was surprised. “Did you think of him as Doctor Huo?”
Bo Cixue knew that Nan Xun had a crush on Doctor Huo. Nan Xun had said in the group chat a few days ago that Doctor Huo was about to become her cousin’s man. Nan Xun and her cousin were like fire and water. Her cousin had snatched her first love away and her cousin’s family had even harmed her father. Nan Xun hated her cousin’s guts.
When her cousin found out that Nan Xun had a crush on Doctor Huo, she took the initiative to approach the latter. Nan Xun was furious and said in the group that day that she was going to get Doctor Huo before her cousin.
She had come to the hotel to implement the plan last night and had drunk a lot to boost her courage, but…
Bo Cixue pulled Nan Xun into her arms and glared at Tang Mo angrily. “Ah Xun got the wrong person. Brother Tang Mo, you’re experienced. Why didn’t you stop it from happening?”
Tang Mo scoffed. “I asked my female companion to wait in the room and drank too much before I came in. I thought she was my female companion.”
Tang Mo was cursing her in his heart. He had worked with Nan Xun in the business industry before. In private, the group of young men called her a devil and a tomboy. She was really not feminine at all.
“I want to call the police!”
He had lived for 25 years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing!
He actually… He would become a joke in the industry if word got out that he had slept with the devil.
Nan Xun was good at handling work, but she seemed helpless in this situation.
“How much do you want? I’ll pay…”
Before Nan Xun could finish, he was interrupted by Bo Cixue’s gaze. Bo Cixue walked up to Tang Mo. “Brother Tang Mo, are you sure you want to call the police? It won’t do you any good to spread this out, right? Even if Ah Xun is at fault, are you really at a disadvantage?”
“Ah Xun doesn’t despise you yet. Everyone knows you have more women than clothes!”
The vein on Tang Mo’s forehead twitched. “Sister Cixue, what are you saying? Don’t think that just because Jie is different to you now, I have to…”
Before Tang Mo could finish, the door was pushed open again and a cold voice trailed over. “What will you do?”
Seeing the exquisite Ye Jie in a white shirt and black pants, Tang Mo swallowed his unfinished words.
Bo Cixue did not expect Tang Mo to call Ye Jie over. She glanced at him and quickly looked away.
Ye Jie went to Tang Mo and pulled him outside.
Ye Jie walked in twenty minutes later.
Bo Cixue did not know what Ye Jie had said to Tang Mo, but Tang Mo did not come in. Ye Jie said to Bo Cixue in a clear voice, “I told Mo’er to forget what happened last night. Take her to change. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
With that said, he left.
Bo Cixue picked up her clothes and handed them to Nan Xun. After Nan Xun changed, they went downstairs.
She wanted to take a taxi and leave, but Ye Jie’s car was already parked at the hotel entrance.
Although Bo Cixue did not want to spend time with him, Tang Mo might not have let go of the incident if he had not appeared.
They went into the car.
Ye Jie drove the car himself and sent Nan Xun back first.
When they got out of the car, Bo Cixue thanked Ye Jie and helped Nan Xun upstairs.
Nan Xun took a bath and became more energetic. She gave her friend a bitter smile. “I’m also cursing in my heart, but I’m not the kind of person who will want to die without proving my innocence. Besides, it was my fault this time. I shouldn’t have had the thought of getting revenge on my cousin. This is retribution.”
“I need to sleep. I’ll go to the hospital in the afternoon. To be honest, I’m also afraid of contracting illnesses.”
Bo Cixue accompanied Nan Xun for a while before she left after falling asleep.
She was tired after working overtime last night.
She went downstairs and was about to call a taxi when she saw that Ye Jie’s car was still parked downstairs.
The car window was lowered and the man’s noble and handsome face was revealed. The sun had come out and he was wearing sunglasses. It was the pair she had given him.
Bo Cixue pursed her lips, opened the car door, and got in.
