He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

The other person nodded: "Okay, go ahead and tell me, I promise you."

Zhang Ying hesitated for a while, feeling uneasy, before finally speaking cautiously: "A new female colleague joined our company. She is very beautiful, and the other colleagues are all talking about her behind her back."

They said they saw her go into Manager Li's office several times, and each time she would stay for half an hour.

What's even stranger is that every time she comes out of Manager Li's office, her face is flushed, and I wonder what she's doing in there..."

As she spoke, Zhang Ying's voice grew softer and softer after seeing the other person's ferocious expression.

Upon hearing this, the other person's expression suddenly turned somewhat ferocious.

"So he really did have a mistress! No wonder he's always making excuses about working overtime and not coming home. Who is this shameless slut? How dare she destroy my family!"

Zhang Ying was taken aback by the other party's imposing manner, and she hesitated before replying, "This... I... I'm not sure how to say."

"Go ahead and tell, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

However, Zhang Ying still shook her head.

Upon seeing this, the other party became furious and angrily pressed, "Tell me, or I'll go to the place where you're having a meal right now and confront someone there."

Zhang Ying trembled at the other person's roar, and she quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, don't go! I'll talk, I'll talk..."

"Her name is Song Zhi. She joined the company last month. She's a new employee, so they just transferred money directly to her and she can take leave anytime. There must be someone else supporting her."

Do you have a photo of her?

Zhang Ying quickly shook her head, replying with a look of fear, "No, how could I dare to take pictures of people?"

The other person didn't seem satisfied with the answer. She was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "How about this, can you do me a favor?"

Zhang Ying asked cautiously, "What kind of help?"

The other person glanced at her, then lowered their voice and said, "When you're at work, take a picture of that woman for me. I want to see what she looks like. How could she be so shameless as to seduce my man?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying's face immediately showed reluctance. She hesitated and said, "This isn't quite right..."

Upon seeing this, the other party's face darkened, clearly indicating some displeasure.

She reached up and pulled off the gold necklace around her neck, then handed it to Zhang Ying, saying stiffly, "This is for you, okay?"

Zhang Ying was startled by this sudden action. She hurriedly waved her hands and said repeatedly, "I can't accept this."

However, he didn't give her a chance to refuse. He grabbed Zhang Ying's hand and shoved the necklace into her hand without saying a word, while saying, "Help me out, don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."

Zhang Ying's hand was held tightly by the other person. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't break free. She could only nod helplessly and agree, "Then you mustn't tell anyone."

Seeing that she had finally relented, the other person smiled and quickly said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell. By the way, give me your phone number or WeChat, and you can send me the photos later."

Zhang Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and gave the other party her phone number.

After writing it down on her phone, the woman called Zhang Ying's phone directly.

She then hung up the phone and said, "By the way, my name is Mei Ting, what's your name?"

Zhang Ying instinctively wanted to say her own name, but then, remembering something, she immediately changed her words, saying, "Chen Lan..."

Mei Ting nodded: "Okay, then remember to take a picture and send it to me. Also, please keep an eye on my husband for me. I won't treat you badly."

"it is good."

After watching Mei Ting leave, Zhang Ying began to examine the gold necklace in her hand.

Based on the current gold price trend, this necklace could probably sell for over 30,000 yuan.

Did Li Ming buy this for her?

I never expected that Li Ming, who was so stingy with me, would be so generous to his wife.

However, how much money could a lowly clerk possibly have?

Once she's with Pei Jinnian, let alone a gold necklace worth tens of thousands, jewelry worth hundreds of thousands will be no problem for her.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhang Ying's lips, and she began to imagine herself living a life of luxury.

……

The hotel lounge at that time.

Pei Jinnian sat on the edge of the bed, feeling irritated, glancing at the bathroom every now and then.

Fifteen minutes have passed, and Song Zhi still hasn't come out.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go in and get the person out, Song Zhi's phone rang.

Pei Jinnian paused for a moment, then reached out and picked it up.

Pei Jinnian's face darkened when he saw that it was Fu Lu calling.

He hung up the phone immediately, then turned it off and tossed it aside.

Pei Jinnian got up and walked towards the bathroom.

He heard the sound of running water coming from inside and knocked on the door.

"Song Zhi".

no response.

Pei Jinnian reached out and pushed the door open.

Upon seeing the girl who had fainted in the bathroom, Pei Jinnian rushed in without thinking, picked her up, and placed her on the bed.

They immediately contacted a doctor to come over.

A short while later, there was a knock on the hotel door.

Pei Jinian stood up and spoke, only to see the hotel manager and a middle-aged woman standing at the door.

Before Pei Jinnian could speak, the hotel manager said with a smile, "Young Master Pei, the doctor is here."

Pei Jinnian said indifferently to the female doctor, "She has a fever, please take a look at her."

The female doctor nodded and went into the room.

Seeing that Song Zhi was still wearing wet clothes, they suggested helping her change.

Pei Jinnian didn't say anything, but simply took a bathrobe from the wardrobe next to him and threw it aside: "Help her change."

As he spoke, he went straight to the balcony to smoke.

After he finished his cigarette, the doctor, having completed his examination, walked towards him.

"Young Master Pei, this young lady has a fever. I've already given her a fever-reducing injection, and her fever should be gone by tonight."

Pei Jinnian hummed in agreement but didn't say anything.

The doctor tactfully left the room.

Pei Jinnian stood on the balcony for a while to enjoy the breeze before going into the room.

He walked to the bedside and looked down at the still unconscious girl.

He then reached out and gently touched her brow, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He regretted it.

I really regret it.

If I hadn't been so sharp-tongued and hadn't hurt Song Zhi, would they have continued to be happy together?

He originally had a chance to be promoted, even if he was just a stand-in.

three years.

Song Zhi had been by his side for three years, but he had never given Song Zhi a kind look.

He didn't want to do anything to hurt Song Zhi, but he felt insecure.

She always felt that Song Zhi didn't genuinely care about her, which is why she kept testing Song Zhi's tolerance for her.

He wanted to see Song Zhi heartbroken and sad for him.

But gradually, he suddenly realized that his once tentative heart had drifted away.

He enjoyed moving among different girls, reveling in their adoration and affection for him.

Gradually, they forgot their original intentions.
