Fu Mingxue nodded calmly. "That’s right, I haven’t eaten."
She knew Li Zhao was looking at her.
He was probably very puzzled as to why she hadn’t eaten the meal.
However, she felt no need to explain.
’Anyway, if he misunderstands—it’s not like I care.’
’Good. Maybe now he’ll stop doing these unnecessary things.’
’It’s quite forward of him, really.’
’After all, we’re not in the same group, and we don’t know each other that well.’
’I wouldn’t be thrilled even if Xu Ming brought me lunch.’
’Let alone someone from a completely different group.’
Chang Qingze didn’t overthink it. The moment he heard she hadn’t eaten, he said hurriedly, "Then you should go eat! Mr. Li and I can discuss things here. I’ll report back to you afterward."
"Alright, that works." With those words, Fu Mingxue strode away.
Once she was gone, Xu Ming, who had been left behind, immediately started complaining, "Group Leader Fu’s sister-in-law is so fierce! I’ve never met a woman with such a sharp tongue. Group Leader Fu must have it tough with a sister-in-law like that."
"I just misspoke a little, and her words were like daggers. It was terrifying!"
Li Zhao: ...?
Chang Qingze: ...?
"Don’t talk bad about her. Besides, you just admitted you were the one who said the wrong thing, so why can’t she say a few things back?"
Xu Ming: ...?
’A few things back?’
’She practically flayed me alive with her words and left me wishing the ground would swallow me whole, alright?’
Meanwhile, Fu Mingxue saw Qin Wenying.
She gestured toward her office. "Want to come in and sit for a bit?"
Qin Wenying shook her head. "No, I’d better not. Someone was already accusing me of trying to steal secrets before I even stepped inside. Imagine what they’d say if I actually went in."
As soon as she said that, Fu Mingxue instantly realized Xu Ming must have said something nasty.
