Chapter 737 - 733
Meanwhile, in the sales department manager’s office.
Lin Qianru sat in front of her desk, expressionless, staring at the computer screen. On it was a large, high-definition photo that showed Lu Tianxing with a woman clinging to his arm. The woman’s face was radiant with joy, and although half of it was obscured by oversized sunglasses, Lin Qianru recognized her instantly. The woman hugging Lu Tianxing was Bai Zhiqing, her best friend, and boss, the chairman of Bai’s Group.
Lin Qianru sat dumbfounded in her chair, looking at the photo of Bai Zhiqing nestled in Lu Tianxing’s arms, her face alight with a happy smile. She felt a wrenching pain in her heart, as if someone was stabbing her with a needle – an indescribable agony surged from within and overwhelmed her with the urge to cry.
Although Lu Tianxing had mentioned before that he was married, Lin Qianru had always thought that was just an excuse he used to play the field for a few more years and had never taken it seriously. She believed that once Lu Tianxing had had his fill, he would come back to her.
But now, Lin Qianru realized she was terribly wrong, completely mistaken. Lu Tianxing had not lied to her; he was indeed married, and the person he married was her best friend and boss.
So it turned out that she had stolen her best friend’s husband; no wonder Lu Tianxing never mentioned who his wife was.
Lin Qianru’s face took on a self-mocking bitter smile. She berated herself for her stupidity, feeling that she should have known all along. Bai Zhiqing had always been impartial to everyone at Bai’s Group, but when it came to Lu Tianxing, she had always been lenient. She had repeatedly forgiven him even when she knew he caused trouble, going so far as to have a fallout with the former vice-chairman Lin Yao and even promoting Lu Tianxing from security guard to executive assistant against all opposition.
Becoming an executive assistant was not a role just anyone could undertake; it required rigorous assessments. Yet Bai Zhiqing promoted Lu Tianxing directly to the position, even turning a blind eye to his regular tardiness. It was clear there had to be something going on behind the scenes.
How laughable it was that she had always turned a blind eye to it, thinking that the wife Lu Tianxing spoke of was just a lie to deceive her, an excuse to play around for a few more years. In the end, the harsh reality struck her like a resounding slap in the face, shattering all her hopes and love.
