Chapter 173 Going Crazy Right Along With Them

Cheng Feng's anger abruptly dissolved. Realizing he had lost his composure, he immediately resumed a solemn expression. "We are talking about you right now, don't drag me into this."

"You have a guilty conscience!" Lin Shuo was clearly very satisfied with the probing result. Cheng Feng had always been honest and dutiful, never doing anything risky, let alone meddling in other people's business. Although he couldn't be trusted completely, he wasn't someone who needed to be guarded against at every turn. Back then, knowing that Cheng Feng had entered Maoyuan based on the Cai family's recommendation, Lin Shuo hadn't rejected him; instead, he had treated him well with a high salary and an important position. Now it seemed Cheng Feng really did have some connection to the Cai family. To say nothing else, that secret crush on Cai Yirou alone was quite problematic. Lin Shuo felt a secret surge of triumph. Fortunately, when investigating Xiaoxiao previously, he had deliberately kept it from Cheng Feng; otherwise, had Cheng Feng been unable to resist Cai Yirou's instigation, wouldn't he have never known the truth?

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I still have some work on my hands, so I won't disturb you any further." Cheng Feng walked out of the office dejectedly, having long since lost the momentum he had when he arrived.

Busy and bustling all the way until off-work time, Xiaoxiao's mind was already a complete blur. It took her a long time to react when He Li asked her whether she was going to the colleague get-together after work, remembering that she had a date with Lin Shuo to visit her father at the hospital tonight.

"Where is Ni Xiaoxiao! Call her out here!"

There was a commotion outside, and people in the office stood up one after another. Hearing her name, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shudder.

"Miss, I'm sorry, you can't shout loudly here." The receptionist failed to stop her in every way possible, and by the time they spoke, the person had already forced her way in.

Xiaoxiao stood up, meeting Cai Yirou's cannibalistic glare head-on. Knowing the purpose of her visit, Xiaoxiao involuntarily shrank back a bit.

"Very well! I thought you were hiding and didn't dare to see me! I really didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned and have no shame at all!" Cai Yirou was merciless right from the start, unleashing a fierce, head-on tirade of abuse. Recognizing that Cai Yirou was Xiaoxiao's client, the colleagues were all completely baffled. When He Li stepped forward to mediate, Cai Yirou turned around and gave a fake, mocking smile to the group of colleagues. "You pity her? What is there to pity? If she had the nerve to do certain things, she should have the guts to bear the consequences. Ask her yourselves if I'm wrong in scolding her!"

"Xiaoxiao... what should we do?" He Li asked, finding herself in a very difficult position. "Should we call the security guards?"

"Call what security guards, just go back to whatever you were doing." Nina had just stepped out of the elevator when she heard the commotion. Coming over to take a look, she couldn't help but flare up. Hearing Nina put it that way, the crowd really did take the opportunity to disperse, pretending to be busy while keeping their ears open and their peripheral vision locked on the scene.

Nina was not amiable either. She walked straight over to pull Xiaoxiao away, saying pointedly, "Are you joining someone else in their madness just because they've lost their mind? Are you that idle?"

"Ni Xiaoxiao, you stop right there! You had the guts to be a home wrecker, but you don't have the nerve to admit it?" Cai Yirou was aggressive and unrelenting, extending the battlefield to Nina as well. Haughtily glaring at the two of them with utter contempt, she snapped, "It turns out your company specializes in breeding mistresses."
