Chapter 229 - 215: Who Exactly Did It
However, Hu Jiaojiao’s call went through but was never answered. She was puzzled for quite a while until she suddenly remembered that Gu Qili hated her so much, she must have been blacklisted by her a long time ago. Therefore, she resorted to using a public phone at a roadside newsstand.
Gu Qili was changing clothes in the locker room. She was on the day shift today, and after arranging the evening’s work, she was ready to go off duty.
Before leaving, she made a point of stopping by the kitchen. Luan Yi was transferred there today and seemed very uncomfortable with it. Confronted with a pile of dirty dishes, she reluctantly fished one out of the sink, and felt disgusted the moment her delicate hands touched the greasy surface.
Originally, after becoming the supervisor, Gu Qili hadn’t intended to make things difficult for her, nor had she reassigned her post.
The colleague working with her showed a displeased face, "If you don’t want to finish work, I still do. Don’t think someone else will do your job if you don’t. I’m not that kind-hearted. Really, a rich girl like you should just enjoy your easy life at home and not hold the rest of us back."
Gu Qili just watched through the glass for a while before leaving. She believed these dishes would keep Luan Yi busy until midnight.
Just as she finished changing, her phone in the bag rang. She glanced at the caller ID, and it was from a landline. Without hesitation, Gu Qili answered the call.
"Gu Qili." The moment the other party uttered her name, Gu Qili wanted to hang up out of disgust.
Hu Jiaojiao, guessing she was about to hang up, quickly shouted, "Mu Shuoqian already knows."
Indeed, faint breathing was heard from the phone; she didn’t hang up.
Hu Jiaojiao was somewhat triumphant. She knew Gu Qili’s greatest fear was being discovered by Mu Shuoqian, as her image of innocence would no longer hold, and she would also lose her backer in Mu Shuoqian, along with everything she currently had.
"Do you regret it now? I only wanted that translation job, yet you persistently refused to help. Gu Qili, I didn’t want to fall out with you this badly. You’ve always been forcing my hand. Now, driven to the wall, I’ve made my decision, and you bear an undeniable responsibility. So, don’t blame me, blame your own indiscretions from the past."
