Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xia Jin’s heart skipped a beat as she listened to their conversation.

Lin Li was actually the third party in a relationship!

Moreover, from their conversation, the man’s wife was currently pregnant. His wife was pregnant, yet he went out to look for his mistress. It was really disgusting!

When Xia Jin passed by the two of them, the man turned his head inadvertently and happened to see Xia Jin’s side profile.

Xia Jin was wearing rather natural makeup today, making her look like a lotus flower that had just bloomed. She appeared pure and refined, without losing its elegant charm.

The man’s eyes fixed on her immediately.

Naturally, Lin Li also noticed the change in the man’s gaze. She turned her head to see Xia Jin’s stunning side profile, and she instantly grew anxious.

“Did you eat the snacks I bought for you last time? Do you like them?” Lin Li took the man’s hand hurriedly and uttered in a soft tone.

Lin Li’s voice was sweet, but she softened her voice deliberately. Thus, the tone of her voice made the man’s heart melt. He was attracted by Lin Li again immediately and shifted his gaze away from Xia Jin.

Xia Jin went to the lounge to get her work badge and pinned it to her chest. She then saw a salesperson staring at Lin Li with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Xia Jin’s heart skipped a beat. She approached the other party quietly, greeting her softly, “Sister Liu, who is the man next to Lili?”

Liu Hui had been watching Lin Li making out with that man. She was full of gossip and was currently worried that there was no one to share the news with. Thus, she perked up instantly when Xia Jin greeted her.

Although Xia Jin was a newcomer and rather petty, Liu Hui saw that Xia Jin’s attitude towards her was quite docile at the moment. Therefore, she did not feel any reservations towards her and began talking to Xia Jin.

“That person is called Wang Ran, and he’s the director of Xinlin Food Group. However, he actually married into his wife’s family, relying on his wife and father-in-law to get this position. A while ago, his father-in-law died. I guess he probably thought that there’s no one to control him now, so he hooked up with Lin Li. Lin Li is such a whore, she knew that Wang Ran’s wife was pregnant, yet she still rushed to be a mistress. Bah, how disgusting!”

Xia Jin’s eyes twitched and nodded. “These two are indeed unethical, but doesn’t Mrs. Wang know about this?”

Liu Hui sighed, “Maybe she does, but she’s about to give birth. What’s the use of talking about it? Isn’t it common for men to cheat? Not to mention, if the two of them really split up, a portion of Xinlin Food Group’s shares would be taken away by Wang Ran. Wang Ran didn’t dare to act rashly when the old chairman was around. Now that the old chairman has passed on, he probably thinks that a weak woman can’t control him at all. That’s why he dares to be so arrogant and bold.”

After Xia Jin and Liu Hui chatted for a while, Wang Ran left. Lin Li twisted her small waist and returned to the side of the counter to continue drinking her beauty tea.

Although the salespeople were looking at Lin Li with a somewhat contemptuous expression, Lin Li seemed to look down on them even more. That expression of hers was as if she was superior to the others.

“Isn’t she just a mistress? Does she really think she’s all that superior? Bah!” Liu Hui spat in disgust.

Xia Jin did not scold Lin Li along with Liu Hui. She looked at Lin Li, but her eyes flickered slightly.

When it was noon, Xia Jin closed the book she was reading and prepared to head out to eat lunch.

Although there were many customers in the jewelry store, many of them were regular customers. In addition, these regulars were received by their exclusive salesperson. This was an unspoken rule in the jewelry store.

If she, a newcomer, dared to steal someone else’s regular customers, she would certainly be ostracized by everyone.

However, in this case, her situation was very awkward. She would be at the bottom of the performance evaluation at the end of the month if she did not have any customers. At that time, she might not even be able to keep her job.

Xia Jin took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

This matter was something that could not be rushed, so she had to take it slow.

She walked out of the jewelry store and was about to walk to the adjacent shopping mall when her vision suddenly dimmed.

A man in his mid-thirties flashed her a warm smile. “Hey, I think I saw you at the jewelry store just now. Do you work there?”

Xia Jin looked up and saw that the man in front of her was none other than Wang Ran.

She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses. Her mind spun quickly and after a while, she smiled shyly. “Yeah, I think I saw you talking to Lili just now. Are you her boyfriend?”

Xia Jin blinked her big, watery eyes. Her expression was very innocent and clueless, as if she was a college student who had just left school.

Wang Ran looked at Xia Jin and had the impression that she was really a pure and innocent girl, so he was overjoyed. He waved his hand hurriedly when he heard her mention Lin Li. “No, no. We’re just friends. I came over to help her with her business.”

Xia Jin pretended to nod understandingly. Her expression was a bit despondent as she said, “So that’s how it is. She’s really lucky to have a friend like you.. I’m in trouble, as my performance up until now is still at the bottom…”
