Yan Yiren walked over to them, her eyes blazing with anger. “You’re the one that told Yan Shudan I’m having an affair with the President, aren’t you?”

For the very first time, Wang Lan seemed stunned. However, she quickly concealed her emotions. “What? Lame!”

She turned around, ready to return to her desk. Yan Yiren quickly grabbed hold of her wrist, pulling her back.

As Wang Lan spun around, she screamed, “What are you doing? Don’t try anything funny, or I’ll call security!”

“If it wasn’t you, what are you getting so worked up about?” Yan Yiren pursed her lips. “Does the President know that you’re out here spreading rumors about our relationship? Also, I hold the right to take legal action against you if you continue to defame my character.”

After saying her piece, Yan Yiren returned to her desk, pretending like nothing had happened as she got back to work.

In fact, she had long suspected who had been responsible for telling Yan Shudan that she had been having an affair with Mr. Chen.

After giving it much thought, she realized that the root of the problem was the staff of the company.

She had just been trying to sound out the culprit then. However, Wang Lan’s reaction made Yan Yiren confident that she was indeed the culprit.

…

During breaktime, Wang Lan quickly went to the staff kitchen, wanting to call Yan Shudan discreetly. “Shudan, what should I do? Yan Yiren seems to know that I was the one who leaked the news to you. She also said that she had the right to pursue legal action…”

Yan Shudan got up from the couch hurriedly. “Are you saying that Yan Yiren is back?!”

“Yes, she came back to work this morning. She seemed unscathed. She’s doing well.

“Good going, Yan Yiren…” Without saying another word, Yan Shudan hung up.

On the other end of the line, Wang Lan called out a few more times before hanging up, frustrated. What had she got herself into?

Should she continue, or should she stop here, so that she wouldn’t get on Yan Yiren’s bad side?

As she spun around, she caught sight of Yan Yiren standing by the door. Shocked, Wang Lan dropped her phone. “Hgh! What are you doing here?”

Yan Yiren glanced at the phone that Wang Lan had dropped onto the floor and kicked it away. “It’s really you.”

“What? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Wang Lan picked up her phone and strode off.

Yan Yiren stretched her arm out, blocking her way. “Don’t know what I’m talking about? That’s fine. I’ve recorded your conversation. Just wait for my lawyer’s letter.”

Wang Lan was shocked. Was she really going to sue her?

“Hey, wait a minute!” Chasing after her, Wang Lan stumbled over her words. “I’ll apologize! I’m sorry! Will you just let this go?”

Yan Yiren chuckled, scoffing softly. “Too late.”

That very afternoon, Wang Lan received a lawyer’s letter. The entire company soon learned of her attempts to defame Yan Yiren.

And those female colleagues that Yan Yiren despised who always hung out with Wang Lan now stayed away from her. They didn’t dare to gossip about Yan Yiren any longer.

They were colleagues after all. They had expected that Yan Yiren would let such trivial matters go. However, she’d now gone as far as suing someone!

After Mr. Chen learned of the issue, he blew his top and immediately fired Wang Lan. He even made a call to Ji Hanjiang, informing him of the issue and offered his apologies.

After much hesitation, Ji Hanjiang decided to call Yan Yiren.

“Hanjiang?” Yan Yiren was surprised. Hadn’t he said that he would be out on a business trip?

How would he have time to call her?

“I heard from your company’s President that someone defamed you. Are… are you alright?” Ji Hanjiang’s voice sounded raspy. He spoke sluggishly as if he was trying to hide something.

“I’m alright. I’ve become a common topic for people’s gossip, so I have already become immune to such things.” Yan Yiren was worried about him. “What about you? Why is your voice like that? Did you have too much to drink yesterday night?”
