‘Yeah, Miss Wenwen, why are you so quiet during these two days? Miss Wenwen, are you there?’
A group of people started to text Jiang Wenwen. At that moment, Jiang Wenwen had a strong desire to vent out all her frustrations toward the receptionist because it was the receptionist herself who brought the matter up in the group. However, all the blame was on her in the end.
Someone tagged her, so she could no longer play dead anymore. After a few minutes, she finally replied, ‘I’m really sorry. I have been busy with work lately, so I didn’t really pay attention to what had happened lately.’
‘Miss Wenwen, I thought we are all in the same boat. How can you be so insensitive? Isn’t Xu Yanwan your subordinate? Just one call, and you can get all the answers.’
After looking at all those words, Jiang Wenwen felt even more uncomfortable.
What do you all mean by calling her to get answers?
Even if she really wanted to make the call, it was not the turn for others to ask her to do so!
The feeling of being ordered by others made Jiang Wenwen unhappy. Therefore, she sent a reply to the group.
‘You can make the call yourself. Don’t put someone to trouble.’
After sending that text, the group became quiet.
No one had expected Jiang Wenwen to speak in such a manner. After all, during the days, everyone was gossiping together. She somehow rejected them all of a sudden.
After seeing those words, the receptionist was rather upset. While she was thinking about what words to say to trigger Jiang Wenwen’s rage, a familiar figure passed her eyes.
She lifted her head, and the heroine they were discussing about in the group was right in front of her. Instead of asking those people in the group, why didn’t she just ask the person in question?
As the receptionist thought of that, she quickly put down her phone and ran toward Xu Yanwan.
Looking at the person stopping her way, the degree of coldness in Xu Yanwan’s eyes increased even more. Then, she stopped and looked at the receptionist.
“Can I help you?”
The receptionist was surprised to see her expression. Before this, Xu Yanwan didn’t give her such an expression when she came to look for her. This time, there was a coldness in her, which prohibited everyone from going close to her.
As a result, the receptionist froze for a while, and it took her some time to respond again. “No. It is nothing, actually. Last time, you fainted in the office and were absent for a few days. Since we are all working in the same company, I am just a little worried about you. I just want to check on your current condition. Is your body alright?”
Upon hearing what she said, Xu Yanwan felt like laughing.
You obviously only care about my relationship with Han Qing and whether I’m his fiancée. However, she chose to beat around the bush with all these hypocritical words.
Xu Yanwan kept her lips sealed and decided to play dumb. She looked at the receptionist with a faint smile.
“Thank you for caring. I have fully recovered. It’s not a big problem for me. After this, I can continue working as usual.”
After finishing her words, she turned and walked away. The receptionist was even more anxious, so she quickly ran to stop her.
“Is there anything else?” Xu Yanwan looked at her as though her eyes could see through all her thoughts. The receptionist couldn’t utter even a single word, so she could only look at her in a daze.
After some time, she finally said, “That day… I saw President Han carried you out of the office, and his girlfriend came along too.”
Xu Yanwan blinked her eyes. Finally, you can’t hold on to what you want to say?
“So?”
“Uh…” The receptionist was speechless after hearing Xu Yanwan’s reply. Is that her only reply?
So? What could she say?
“It seems that you haven’t figured out what you want to say. I need to go back to work. I can’t chat with you. Got to go.”
Seeing her leaving, the receptionist was aware that if she didn’t make things clear this time, she might not have the chance anymore. Therefore, she quickly ran toward Xu Yanwan and grabbed her hand.
“Umm… Actually, I just want to ask if you are really President Han’s fiancée? If it is real, what is your opinion toward the woman around President Han? She has taken your fiancé away. Aren’t you angry? Shouldn’t you snatch him back from her?”
Snatch him back from her?
Xu Yanwan was pondering these words.
Since the very beginning, she had never had such a thought.
“You’re his fiancée. The woman came in later, so she is the third party. You should reprimand her.”
Xu Yanwan gave the receptionist a curious stare.
“So, why are you telling me all these?”
Before the receptionist could even think of the ways to answer her, she asked again, “Even though what I had said is all true, they have nothing to do with you. You’re just the company’s receptionist, right? Since when a receptionist’s job spec includes other people’s personal affairs?”
“I…”
The receptionist didn’t expect that Xu Yanwan wouldn’t give her any respect. To her surprise, she even scolded her right in her face.
She didn’t even expect such a scene to occur, so she was out of ideas to defend herself. She couldn’t answer her question.
“Before this, you kept on asking me the same question. I didn’t tell you because I think that you have no right to interfere, and I also hope you can understand that this is not something that you can interfere with. Unfortunately, you just couldn’t understand the underlying meaning that I was trying to tell you. Until today, you are still asking me the same old question. As a receptionist, is it really okay to go until this far?”
Upon saying the last sentence, Xu Yanwan was even fiercer. She looked even more superior than before. The receptionist was even more shocked and was stunned for a moment.
For quite some time, she was utterly weakened. She stuttered, “I-I have no other intention. Please don’t be mad. I actually have no intention to go this far. I just happened to hear you claiming that you’re President Han’s fiancée, so I…”
Unknowingly, Xu Yanwan’s tone became gentle. She gently asked the receptionist, “You’re just trying to defend the weak against the strong?”
After listening to Xu Yanwan, the receptionist nodded immediately. “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”
“Then, that’s too bad.” Xu Yanwan went closer to the receptionist and said, “I can still remember the day I came to look for Han Qing. You were stopping me at the entrance. After asking me whether I am President Han’s fiancée, you even derided me.”
The receptionist’s face instantly turned pale. She didn’t expect that Xu Yanwan would suddenly bring up this matter.
She was in a panic, trying to speak for herself.
“Miss… Miss Xu, about this matter, I had already apologized to you. I didn’t really mean it. Besides, you said that you would let bygones be bygones, right?”
Xu Yanwan was still laughing.
“Indeed. I didn’t mind about the matter, but my memory is just too powerful. I couldn’t forget about it at this short moment. You see, I don’t have the choice to delete my memory, right?”
The receptionist could feel that her back was sweating when she looked at Xu Yanwan. She was smiling in front of her, yet she could sense a strong coldness behind the smile.
“Alright. I need to get back to work. Please work hard.”
Xu Yanwan patted her shoulder and walked away.
This time, the receptionist didn’t stop her.
Instead, the receptionist stood right where she was, thinking of Xu Yanwan’s words. The more she thought, the more fear she felt.
