Chapter 227: Chapter 0227: So Rejoice, So Grieve Chapter 227: Chapter 0227: So Rejoice, So Grieve Mu Lan remained calm.
“He’s the sa.”
After Huo Tingxiao went back to square one, Mu Lan had initially kept out of it, but now, she directly equated him with Pei Zhao. However, he couldn’t really bla Mu Lan, since Pei Zhao had specifically sought her out today to speak on her most painful mories, stirring up her sadness, so it was normal for her to involve him as well.
Arguing now was pointless, since Mu Lan still stayed at Maple Forest Garden. Close to the water tower, he was bound to find his chance.
Pei Zhao, unaware of Huo Tingxiao’s sches, slightly curved his lips upward. His relentless pursuit was simply because he didn’t want Huo Tingxiao and her to have any more entanglent. Now that both n were treated the sa, Pei Zhao was naturally too happy to care. Mu Lan’s lack of interest in him was sothing he was very aware of, so being rejected didn’t bother him at all.
Gu Xiaoman silently sighed, not daring to speak well of Huo Tingxiao, blaming him for his past misdeeds, and now he rightly deserved to painstakingly chase after his wife.
“Lanlan, try this Wagyu beef. It’s slimy yet tender, truly exceptional.”
Mu Lan looked at the beef in her bowl. In reality, she had no appetite at all, but she didn’t want to waste Gu Xiaoman’s kindness, so she took two bites, tasting nothing.

Sheng Xueqin rushed to the company upon receiving a call. Just as Sheng Xueqian, who had recently joined the Marketing Departnt, had bought afternoon tea for her colleagues, and everyone was starting to feel so affinity for the second Miss of the Sheng Family, the president stord over furiously.
“Sis, I bought so coffee. Do you want so?”
Sheng Xueqian wore a pleasing smile, but Sheng Xueqin was completely uninterested.
“This is a company.”
Sheng Xueqian bit her lip, hastily apologizing.
“I’m sorry, President Qinqin.”
Everyone noticed that Sheng Xueqin had a concerned expression, and imdiately scattered.
“Co to my office, I have sothing to discuss with you.”
Sheng Xueqin turned and entered the elevator with her high heels clicking. Sheng Xueqian hurriedly followed, and just after the two sisters left, the gossip squad behind them started.
“What’s with President Qinqin? She seems unhappy.”
“I heard the sisters had a fallout, but I don’t know why.”
“Really? Then who would dare to get close to the Second Miss Sheng now? This is the end, we even have her coffee in our hands.”
The Chief walked over, saying in a low voice:
“You all, mind your own business. She’s the president; she doesn’t have the ti to worry about you. Focus on your work, and gossip less!”
The group returned from the pantry to their respective workstations to continue their tasks.
In the president’s office, Sheng Xueqin looked extrely upset.
“Who allowed you to co to the company?”
Sheng Xueqian looked innocent, her eyes turning red, ready to cry at any mont.
“Sis, are you still angry with ?”
Sheng Xueqin scoffed coldly.
“Would I dare to be angry with you? You’ve grown tough wings now, Miss Second Sheng.”
Sheng Xueqian’s tears dropped down as she sobbed, looking very pitiful.
“Sis, coming to the company was grandfather’s idea because he thought the entertainnt industry was too complicated and didn’t want to continue in it; he wanted to intern at the company and learn sothing.”
Sheng Xueqin narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Sheng Xueqian, her tone even harsher.
“So you’re saying, grandfather forced you and you were unwilling?
Stop feeding these lies. Sheng Xueqian, you might deceive others, but you can’t deceive !”
Sheng Xueqian, looking gloomy, hurriedly tried to explain to Sheng Xueqin.
“Sis, what’s wrong exactly? Did soone tell you sothing that made you misunderstand ?
Sis, if there’s anything I did wrong, just tell , or if it really upsets you, you could scold or hit to vent, but don’t misunderstand like this.
You’re my only sister, I…”
Sheng Xueqin, watching her sobbing uncontrollably, remained utterly unmoved.
“Don’t waste your tears here. If you know what’s good for you, you’d tell grandfather you can’t adapt to the company.”
“If you don’t know your place… your days at the company are not going to be easy.”
Sheng Xueqian bit her lip, her eyes red with tears.
“Sister… are you really not going to make up with ?”
Sheng Xueqin snorted coldly.
“You’re worthy? You’re a snake in human’s skin. Stop playing the victim with .
Get out, just looking at you disgusts .”
Sheng Xueqian cried as she turned to leave, Sheng Xueqin only felt annoyed, her uncle’s family was just too troubleso. What was Grandpa thinking? It used to be all about her, and now…
She picked up her phone and dialed Huo Tingyang’s number.
“It’s , Huo Tingxiao has returned from Paris. How are things on your end?”
Huo Tingyang was also at his wit’s end, facing constraints from Feng Lin, he felt restricted in everything he did, and people in the company didn’t take him seriously at all.
“Not so good.”
On hearing this, Sheng Xueqin grew even more irritated.
“You can’t even act the part when dressed as the prince. Aren’t you already the vice president? You should at least be able to get involved in major company plans, right? Hasn’t Feng Lin been pulled into your camp yet?”
Huo Tingxiao loosened his tie and leaned back in his chair, sounding quite impatient.
“Stop ordering around. Do you think Feng Lin is that easy to sway? He’s impenetrable, neither soft nor hard approaches work. No faction in the company can win him over.”
Sheng Xueqin raised an eyebrow, so he could hold his ground that well? Everyone has a weakness, she refused to believe that this Feng Lin was a saint.
“Get your hands on his schedule, I’ll figure sothing out.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingyang’s eyes lit up. Although Sheng Xueqin wasn’t popular, her work capability was admittedly impressive.
“Okay, that should be easy.”
Sheng Xueqin snorted.
“Don’t boast just yet. Talk after you get the goods.”
Huo Tingyang was about to retort when Sheng Xueqin hung up first.
Suffering at the company and looked down upon by Sheng Xueqin, Huo Tingyang felt deeply frustrated. After several etings, he felt powerless. Every ti he tried to stand out, he couldn’t hit the mark, and although the other executives didn’t say anything, their attitude was quite obvious.
Without solid backing, he definitely couldn’t shut up the gossips. At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to stay at the company much longer.
Sticking his tie into his pocket, Huo Tingyang got up and headed to the president’s office, with the secretary assistant stopping their typing as soon as they saw him.
“Director Huo, President Feng isn’t here.”
“Has President Feng been busy lately?”
“Yes, he’s been having quite a few engagents recently.”
Engagents… Huo Tingxiao raised an eyebrow.
“What kind of engagents?”
The secretary assistant looked at Huo Tingxiao sowhat awkwardly.
“Sorry, Director Huo, I’m not sure. Such schedules are managed by Secretary Lin; I’m just an assistant.”
The reasoning was quite solid, but Huo Tingyang knew all too well that it was just an excuse to brush him off.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m not here to make things difficult for you.
Okay, you go back to your work. I’ll co back to see President Feng later.”
“Take care, Director Huo.”
Having hit a soft spot, Huo Tingyang left, recalling Sheng Xueqin’s words, his expression very sour.
Had he beco so useless that he couldn’t even find out Feng Lin’s schedule?
Squinting his eyes, Huo Tingyang dialed a series of numbers.
“Hello? It’s , there’s sothing I need you to do…”
