Chapter 391: What Kind of Trouble, or Even Disaster
"Alright, alright, I’ll help you look into it! But if it wasn’t you, then... who could have done this?"
Meng Sijia frowned as she spoke. If it wasn’t Meng Chengyu, then it had to be someone else. If the rumor had been about anything else, it would have been one thing, but this was about the exact words she and Meng Chengyu had exchanged that day.
’This can’t all be a coincidence, can it?’
"Chengyu, do you think... someone might have been eavesdropping when we were talking that day?"
"No way..."
Seeing Meng Sijia’s grave expression, Meng Chengyu started to get nervous too. The rumor itself wasn’t a huge deal, but before that, they had discussed something far more important!
’If those words were overheard too, then they—and by extension, the entire Meng Family—would be in huge trouble!’
Worse yet, if word got to the Chu Family, and they found out the Meng Family had dared to scheme against them, they would never let them off easily!
When that happened, perhaps not even the Qin family would be able to protect them, even if they intervened!
As they thought about this, both Meng Sijia and Meng Chengyu grew tense.
"Sis, if someone really did overhear us, what are we going to do?"
"What’s there to panic about? The more critical the situation, the more important it is to stay calm! Our top priority right now is to find out who is spreading this rumor. Once we find the source, we’ll naturally know if someone was eavesdropping on us."
"Yeah, you’re right, Sis. Then... let’s hurry up and investigate!"
"*I’m* going to investigate, what can you do? For the time being, you just lay low and don’t do anything that gives people leverage against you! The family was able to clean up your previous messes because you hadn’t offended anyone we couldn’t handle. B City isn’t like other places. You better watch yourself."
"I know, Sis. I know my limits, don’t worry!"
Neither Meng Chengyu, who claimed to know his limits, nor his doting sister Meng Sijia, had any idea that he had already provoked someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
"Alright, alright, I’m heading back to the company. You remember everything I told you!"
Meng Sijia had just made a trip home and hadn’t planned on returning to the company so quickly. But because of this incident, she was now in a hurry to get back and get to the bottom of this immediately!
Meanwhile, Shen Nian and the others were still at home, trying to figure out who was spreading the rumors. They never imagined that someone else was even more desperate to find the culprit than they were.
And at that very moment, the true culprit was at home, feeling quite pleased with how smoothly her rumor-mongering had gone.
’Once everyone in the company finds out, I’d like to see how Shen Nian can possibly show her face and continue working there!’
’At that point, even that smugly successful Mr. Lu will probably be utterly humiliated over his own private affairs.’
’Maybe he won’t even be able to keep his position as group leader! And then, perhaps, her Luo Bin will finally have a chance.’
That’s right. The one spreading the rumors was Liu Fanglan, who had previously eavesdropped on Meng Sijia and Meng Chengyu’s conversation.
Lost in her fantasies, she hadn’t stopped to consider whether her dreams could ever become reality. Nor had she considered the serious mistake she was making.
