Chapter 1046 - Exchange (3)
Xi Xiaye had just rolled up the blueprint and was about to put it on the shelf when the secretary knocked from the outside to signal that she was letting Gu Lingsha in. “CEO Xi, Manager Gu is here!”
When Gu Lingsha walked into the office, she only saw a petite figure with the back facing her while putting a rolled-up blueprint onto the shelf. However, she was confused. Was the CEO of Fuhua not Shen Yue? When did it become a woman?
In fact, this woman’s posterior looked a little familiar. Her black hair fell to her waist and her white off-shoulder dress showed off a slender figure. Even just the sight of her back had an indescribable charm to it.
“Alright, go bring us two cups of tea,” Xi Xiaye calmly responded, then turned around and looked up indifferently. When their eyes met, Gu Lingsha’s eyes instantly flew wide open!
How was it her!?
She was Fuhua’s CEO?
Xi Xiaye was Fuhua’s CEO?
“How…how is it you?!” Flabbergasted, Gu Lingsha’s blue eyes were round and large as her eyes were fixed on Xi Xiaye in disbelief.
Previously, she had heard about Xi Xiaye frequently rubbing shoulders with the people in Fuhua, and with Fuhua’s previous collaboration with Glory World to take down the South River Project No. 2, she thought that Xi Xiaye was just a contact person from Glory World. She did not think that…
How did Xi Xiaye take over Shen Yue’s position?
Gu Lingsha thought about it for a while, and in her daze, she recalled that Xi Xiaye’s mother’s surname was Shen too.
Shen Wenna…Shen Yue?
She had never gone that in-depth when investigating Xi Xiaye, so she did not expect her to come from a good background too. It was no wonder that the Mu family and Mu Yuchen would have accepted her so easily.
Gu Lingsha’s expression was a little strange at the moment. It was shifting with gloominess and changed quite a bit, yet you could not quite tell how she was feeling. “Why is it you!? You…” she muttered as her beautiful eyes remained fixated on Xi Xiaye’s face. The shock in her eyes did not vanish.
“Why wouldn’t it be me?” A sneer flashed on Xi Xiaye’s lips as she looked calmly at Gu Lingsha.
Gu Lingsha took a deep breath and quickly forced herself to calm down!
If it was Xi Xiaye, then everything made sense. It must have been this witch that caused all the problems! She must have known about her materials, so she intentionally stole them from Hua Heng. It was probably because of that incident with her son and Weiwei at school!
Gu Lingsha was not a fool. Quickly, she analyzed everything. Upon being aware of this, her eyes quickly turned hard.
“It was you! You did it on purpose, didn’t you!? Why would Hua Heng suddenly sell those materials to you? You must’ve known that we need those materials urgently! You did it on purpose, Xi Xiaye. You definitely did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Gu Lingsha’s stern voice came through. You could hear how stirred up she was from her voice as she pointed an accusing finger at Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye reacted calmly. She walked casually to the desk and then set down her pen as she said in objection, “Miss Gu, you have too much prejudice against me. Fuhua needs those materials urgently too. In fact, you should know that Fuhua and Hua Heng are very good partners. From their end, we are prioritized since we need these materials too. Fuhua offered the same prices as you did, and we could save Hua Heng a huge sum in logistic fees. If you were Hua Heng, how would you have chosen?”
“But it was clearly Qi Kai that settled on the deal first! As long as they release the materials from City B, we can pay the downpayment right away. We’ll pay in full when the materials arrive. We’ve already discussed this! It must you, you vicious woman! You’re making a move on us on purpose! You want to take revenge on me!” Gu Lingsha responded angrily.
Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye suddenly laughed, her tone containing a hint of mockery. “But you didn’t pay the downpayment in the end, did you? Who can prove that you discussed it first? I’ve already told CEO Hua a while ago to leave these materials for me. In fact, Fuhua has already paid for everything, so where’s your downpayment? Miss Gu, you’re someone who’s been in business for quite a while. Businessmen care about win-win situations and sincerity the most. Until now, have you shown Hua Heng any sincerity?”
Gu Lingsha’s expression darkened upon hearing that. “Xi Xiaye, you’re despicable! You’ve already done it. Do you have to come up with such a pompous reason? Don’t think I don’t know that it was you who made Mu Yuchen frame me! I’m telling you, I’m not Xi Xinyi. I won’t let you play me for a fool!”
Her expression was bitter as she pointed at Xi Xiaye. She was close to cursing at her. Even the assistant who brought the tea in was shocked by Gu Lingsha’s manners. She looked at Xi Xiaye to see if she needed the bodyguard, but Xi Xiaye only shot her a look before she cautiously retreated.
“Xi Xinyi?” Xi Xiaye softly muttered before she sneered. “Turns out you know her too! Well, then let me tell you, if you don’t want to become the second Xi Xinyi, you’d better behave yourself! Do you really think I don’t know what you did to me before this? Just with Ruan Heng’s incident alone, I should have made you pay the price!”
“Huh, right, I almost forgot that Ruan Heng still hasn’t regained consciousness until now. Is he still in a coma? You don’t have to look at me like that. That incident has nothing to do with me. I was a victim too. It’s just that Ruan Heng wasn’t as fortunate as me! What? Do you want to threaten me? What other tricks do you and your husband have apart from this!?”
Gu Lingsha recalled that when she first returned, Mu Yuchen had also threatened her like this. If she was not worried about those who would be implicated, she would not have been afraid!
“There’s no need for us to use such bright tricks when it comes to people like you. Aren’t you an expert in using these methods too? At my wedding with Mu Yuchen, you locked me in the washroom and released a snake. You tried to recklessly smear my relationship with Qi Lei. By the roadside in West Park, you pushed me down and made me go into premature labor, and you even wanted to frame Xi Xinyi. You framed Su Nan and almost made her go to jail. You’ve done more horrible things than can be counted. Isn’t someone like you even more despicable and shameless?” Xi Xiaye sat down leisurely on her chair. Her gaze was indifferent yet sharp.
Stunned, Gu Lingsha quickly lowered her gaze and responded, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You can refuse to admit to it, but the truth is right there as long as we all know it. If you’ve come for the materials today, then you can leave now.”
