From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 271 An Old Friend Quietly Arrives: A Shadow of Doubt

The door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and the person who came was not anyone Wen Nuan expected, but Mo Han's cousin, who looked anxious.

After a few whispers, Mo Han's face changed slightly and he left in a hurry, leaving Wen Nuan alone to face the noise in the room, feeling even more uneasy.

The next day, Lin Xiao showed up at the Mo Group on time.

As soon as they met, she gave Wen Nuan a warm hug, as if they had never been estranged.

"Wen Nuan, long time no see! You are getting more and more beautiful!" Lin Xiao held Wen Nuan's arm affectionately, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Wen Nuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and responded politely to Lin Xiao's enthusiasm.

In the next few days, Lin Xiao took great care of Wen Nuan and asked about her well-being, as if they were back in college when they could talk about anything.

Wen Nuan gradually let down her guard and began to miss their past friendship.

However, some subtle actions still attracted warm attention.

For example, Lin Xiao would always stay in front of Wen Nuan's computer for a long time after she left the office; for another example, she would frequently go in and out of the printing room to copy some materials for the projects that Wen Nuan was in charge of.

Although Wen Nuan felt it was strange, she did not delve into it because of their old relationship.

Perhaps, Lin Xiao just wanted to familiarize herself with the company's business as quickly as possible, she comforted herself in this way.

At the same time, some rumors about Wen Nuan began to spread within the company.

In the staff lounge, employee Chen vividly described how Wen Nuan acted arbitrarily and suppressed his subordinates, prompting some employees who were unaware of the truth to agree with him.

"I heard that she relies on President Mo's favor to act arrogantly in the company. Anyone who dares to offend her will be in trouble!" Employee Chen said with saliva flying, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Secretary Li, who was hiding in the corner, was horrified when she heard this. She knew that this was not the case, but she was just a small secretary. How could she dare to stand up and refute it?

She could only pray silently, hoping that these rumors would not reach Mr. Mo's ears.

That night, Wen Nuan worked overtime until late at night.

When she left the company, she found that the lights in Lin Xiao's office were still on.

Out of curiosity, she gently pushed the door open.

Lin Xiao was sitting in front of the computer, and the screen clearly displayed the core confidential documents of the project that Wen Nuan was in charge of.

Lin Xiao seemed unaware of the warmth coming. His fingers were rapidly tapping on the keyboard, copying the contents of the file into an encrypted email.

My warm heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran up from the soles of my feet.

She finally understood that Lin Xiao's appearance was not accidental...

"What are you doing?" The warm voice was as cold as the wind from hell.

Lin Xiao turned around suddenly, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly calmed down and forced a smile.

"Wu Nuan, you...why haven't you left yet?"

Lin Xiao pretended to be calm, her eyes flickering: "I'm just helping you check if there are any errors in the documents. You know, this project is very important to the company." She chuckled, trying to hide her panic, but her slightly trembling fingertips exposed her guilt.

Wen Nuan didn't say anything, but just walked quietly behind Lin Xiao, staring coldly at the unsent email on the computer screen.

The recipient was Zhang, the biggest competitor of the Mo Group.

At this moment, a rapid phone ring broke the silence in the office.

Lin Xiao answered the phone and his face changed suddenly.

On the other end of the phone, reporter Zhao's voice was low and threatening: "Ms. Lin, I think I have enough material about the 'wonderful story' of the young lady of the Mo Group. If the Mo Group doesn't want some 'not so good' content to appear on the front page tomorrow, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation now." Lin Xiao hung up the phone, her face pale.

She didn't expect reporter Zhao to act so quickly.

Wen Nuan sneered in her heart, and everything seemed to become clear.

She turned to look at Lin Xiao, her tone frighteningly calm: "It seems that you not only want to steal company secrets, but also want to drag me into it?"

Lin Xiao pretended to be calm: "Wen Nuan, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Wen Nuan ignored Lin Xiao's excuses and turned to leave the office.

She knew that Lin Xiao, her competitor Zhang, and the reporter Zhao, who was eager to create chaos in the world, had formed an alliance of interests, and she was their target.

This phone call undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the top management of the Mo Group.

At the board meeting, several veteran figures expressed their dissatisfaction with Wen Nuan, believing that she had brought negative impact to the company, and some even proposed to revoke all her positions.

Faced with the sudden pressure, Wen Nuan did not panic as others expected.

She took the initiative to find Lin Xiao and pretended to chat casually about the project.

Although Lin Xiao tried his best to hide it, Wen Nuan still caught the panic in his eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, what areas do you think we need to improve in this project?" Wen Nuan asked casually, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Xiao's face.

Lin Xiao forced a smile: "I think... it's going very smoothly at the moment, there's nothing that needs improvement." She answered hesitantly, her eyes flickering.

Wen Nuan sneered in her heart. The more Lin Xiao tried to cover up, the more it proved that she had something to hide.

She continued to test him calmly, pushing Lin Xiao into a desperate situation step by step.

After get off work, Wen Nuan did not go home directly, but went to a place...

"He's coming." Wen Nuan whispered, her eyes fixed on the figure slowly approaching the corner of the street.

Mo Han's appearance was like a ray of light, dispelling the haze that had shrouded Wen Nuan's heart for many days.

He did not directly expose Lin Xiao's conspiracy, but chose a more clever way - publicly supporting Wen Nuan.

At the company's regular meeting, Mo Han highly praised Wen Nuan's contribution to the project in front of all senior executives and employees, and expressed his absolute trust in her.

His tone was firm and unquestionable, as if he was declaring: Wen Nuan is mine, and anyone who dares to touch her is against me.

Mo Han's actions were undoubtedly a heavy blow to those who spread rumors.

Employee Chen was originally whispering with his colleagues, but after hearing Mo Han's words, his face turned pale instantly.

Other employees who had originally agreed also fell silent and began to reconsider the authenticity of the rumor.

Secretary Li breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that President Mo's statement had undoubtedly given Wen Nuan peace of mind.

After the meeting, Mo Han took Wen Nuan back to his office.

He held Wen Nuan's hand tightly, his eyes gentle but firm: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." Wen Nuan looked into his deep eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart.

Mo Han's determination gave her great strength.

But the pressure from the outside world still made her feel a little breathless.

"But...on the board of directors..." Wen Nuan's voice was a little low. She knew that although Mo Han's support was important, it could not completely solve the problem.

Mo Han gently stroked Wen Nuan's hair, with a hint of heartache in his tone: "I know what you are worried about, but you have to trust me, I will handle everything. You just need to do your own thing, and leave the rest to me." His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying some kind of magic, which gradually calmed Wen Nuan down.

"Thank you." Wen Nuan leaned gently on Mo Han's shoulder, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.

She knew that she was not alone, she still had Mo Han.

As night falls, the Mo Group Building is brightly lit.

Lin Xiao sat alone in the office with a gloomy face.

Mo Han's actions completely disrupted her plans.

She originally thought that as long as she spread some rumors, she could ruin Wen Nuan's reputation, but she didn't expect Mo Han to defend her so much.

She clenched her fists tightly, and a gleam of resentment flashed in her eyes.

"Wu Nuan, do you think you can win like this? I won't let you have it easy!"

She took out a document from the drawer, a sinister smile on her face...

"This should be enough to keep you busy." She folded the document carefully, put it in a folder, then stood up and left the office.

The corridor was empty, with only the sound of her high heels hitting the ground, which seemed particularly harsh in the silent night...

Lin Xiao walked to the door of Wen Nuan's office and stopped...

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the warm office, and slipped in.

She looked around and finally stuffed the folder into the top of a file box, a place where Warm checked every day.

After doing all this, Lin Xiao left quickly, as if he had never appeared.

The surveillance camera in the corridor faithfully recorded everything, but no one knew it at the moment.

The next morning, the forged document was discovered by a new employee named Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang had just joined the company and his understanding of Wen Nuan was limited to the rumors circulating within the company.

When he saw the document, he immediately concluded that Wen Nuan was the kind of person who would do anything for profit.

He rushed to the tea room with the documents and showed them to his colleagues indignantly: "Look! I told you there was something wrong with her! She actually dared to pocket all the profits from the project! This is too much!"

The emergence of this document undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and the voices of doubt about Wen Nuan within the company became even louder.

At the board meeting, several elders once again put pressure on Mo Han, asking him to deal with the matter seriously.

Although Mo Han still believed in Wen Nuan, he began to feel a little shaken when faced with such conclusive "evidence".

When Wen Nuan learned about this, her heart turned cold.

She knew that she was framed.

But she can't just sit there and wait for death. She must find out the truth as soon as possible and prove her innocence.

She decided to start the investigation from Lin Xiao’s recent activities.

She retrieved the company's internal surveillance video and carefully observed Lin Xiao's every move.

She found that Lin Xiao would always wander around the company for a long time after get off work, as if waiting for someone.

Wen Nuan's heart moved. Could there be someone else behind Lin Xiao?

She decided to follow Lin Xiao to see who she was in contact with.

That night, Wen Nuan quietly followed Lin Xiao and watched her walk into a high-end restaurant.

Through the glass window of the restaurant, Wen Nuan saw Lin Xiaozheng sitting opposite a man, and the two seemed to be discussing something important.

Wen Nuan took out her cell phone and took a picture of the two of them.

She enlarged the photo and carefully identified the man's identity.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank sharply, and a chill ran up from the soles of her feet.

That man turned out to be...

Zhang's competitor!

Wen Nuan immediately realized that there must be some unspeakable secret between Lin Xiao and his rival Zhang.

She must find out as soon as possible to completely expose their conspiracy.

She turned and left the restaurant, ready to go home and study the photos carefully.

Just then, a black car stopped silently behind her.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a strange face.

"Miss Wen, someone wants to see you." The man's tone was cold and left no room for doubt.
