Qiao Lian halted when she saw Su Meimei standing at the entrance of the news agency, glaring at her angrily.

Obviously, she had just arrived.

Qiao Lian’s eyes flashed upon seeing Su Meimei, but she turned to address Zhang Chunhua, “Zhang Chunhua, even if Su Meimei had had no knowledge of Liu Zhixing being a married man, as the Chief Editor of Team One, wouldn’t you have known it?

Zhang Chunhua was stunned for a moment before her eyes glimmered evasively. “What are you talking about?”

Qiao Lian replied with certainty, “It always puzzled me how Su Meimei got together with Liu Zhixing so quickly, when Liu Zhixing had just joined the agency. Now I realize it was all through your good efforts—the scheming aunt—you encouraged your niece to get on Liu Zhixing’s good side, despite knowing he was married. All this just so that you could get this promotion you were interested in, wasn’t it? ”

Zhang Chunhua’s pupils shrank at these words. “Stop stirring trouble and speaking nonsense!”

Qiao Lian looked at the people who had crowded around.

They were staring at Zhang Chunhua with disgust in their eyes.

Qiao Lian knew that the people now believed her words.

Before she left, she wanted to ensure that Zhang Chunhua’s reputation in the news agency would be completely destroyed.

She glanced back at Su Meimei, who had turned very white.

Su Meimei had lost a lot of weight and now her clothes hung loosely on her.

She too had doubt written on her face.

She took a step forward and looked steadily at her aunt, clenching her fists tightly and gritting her teeth with fury.

Recently, she had felt all meaning seep out of her life. She might have been better off dead.

Although she hated Qiao Lian and although she was a materialistic person and wanted to marry a man like Liu Zhixing, it had never been her intention or wish to be a third party.

And now, she realized that it was all her aunt’s doing!

From inside of the office, Zhang Chunhua suddenly saw Su Meimei and was stunned.

She saw the loathe in her niece’s eyes as Qiao Lian’s words rang in her head…

Now looking horrified, she said to Su Meimei, “Meimei, I can explain. It’s not what you think—”

“Auntie, you can tell this to my father instead!”

After these words, Su Meimei turned and walked out.

Qiao Lian left the office building feeling gallant and energized, as though something had been lifted off her shoulders.

Finally, she had seen the last of the news agency.

She was free!

Even if the road ahead was going to be a long one, this was a moment worth celebrating.

Just as she was about to cross the road, she heard someone calling her from behind.

She turned back and saw s.h.i.+ Nianyao running out of the office building and towards her.

Qiao Lian raised an eyebrow. “Why did you come running out?”

With a casual shrug, s.h.i.+ Nianyao said, “With you no longer around, they are going to make life difficult for me. So I’ve resigned too!”

Feeling like she had missed s.h.i.+ Nianyao already, Qiao Lian said, “Let’s keep in touch often.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao nodded and replied, “Of course!”

Then she reached out both her arms and hugged Qiao Lian. “Chief Editor Lian Lian, I will miss you so much!”

As they enjoyed a brief and rather emotional exchange, they suddenly heard a car honking from the side of the road.

Qiao Lian paused for a moment and turned to look. It was Shen Liangchuan’s car, but she had no idea how long he’d been there.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao immediately stuck her tongue out at Qiao Lian and said a hurried goodbye, “I’ll go now, won’t be a third wheel!”

Then, without waiting for Qiao Lian to speak another word, she was gone in a flash.

Qiao Lian stared wordlessly at s.h.i.+ Nianyao disappearing into the distance.

After parting, Qiao Lian took a deep breath and ran to Shen Liangchuan’s car.

As she neared the car, she heard someone calling her from behind.

Immediately halting and turning around, she saw Su Meimei walking towards her with an angry expression on her face.
