Wu Youyou rushed to the scene, which could only mean one thing: Lan Qingqing was about to face a tough time. While it was uncertain whether Wu Youyou would emerge victorious, her presence guaranteed that the confrontation would be thrilling.
Since Wu Youyou and Si Li had showcased their prowess in previous encounters, the employees had affectionately nicknamed Wu Youyou "The Unyielding Weapon."
In the grand hall, Lan Qingqing wore a radiant smile as she linked her arm with Mo Kai Liang's, presenting herself like a delicate bird nestled against him. She boasted to those around her, "I've been with Mo Kai Liang for quite some time now. If it weren't for his sensitive identity, I would have told you all long ago."
The employees formed a small circle around Lan Qingqing and Mo Kai Liang. Mo Kai Liang had a handsome yet honest demeanor that exuded reliability. His expensive suit, purchased at great expense by Ke Wenjie, was meant to elevate Lan Qingqing's status.
Mo Kai Liang smiled shyly, adhering strictly to Lan Qingqing's instructions to speak little or not at all, maintaining only a smile unless absolutely necessary.
Wu Youyou pushed through the crowd and stood directly in front of Lan Qingqing.
Lan Qingqing had anticipated Wu Youyou's arrival and stood tall, chest out, ready to match her gaze with Wu Youyou's.
Wu Youyou glanced at Mo Kai Liang but felt nothing special about him; if anything, he appeared timid and lacking in assertiveness.
"Is that your husband?" Wu Youyou questioned. "Did you really bring him along? What kind of status does he have? Is he really as wealthy as you claim?"
Lan Qingqing's expression was filled with confidence as she had prepared her lies well in advance. She replied word for word, "My husband works in the military industry! His job is special, so we can't publicly share our romantic relationship. But that will soon change because we are getting married."
With eyes full of affection, Lan Qingqing looked at Mo Kai Liang and continued to flaunt, "My husband is involved in family enterprises that are far beyond what you can imagine."
Wu Youyou's gaze turned provocative as she positioned herself directly opposite Mo Kai Liang and asked, "What do they call you?"
Mo Kai Liang answered truthfully, "Mo Kai Liang."
Unable to suppress her laughter, Wu Youyou thought Mo Kai Liang was nothing more than a counterfeit; he lacked any noble aura.
"Are you just an extra in Hengdian? How many films have you been in? How much did Lan Qingqing pay you to play this role? I’ll give you ten times that amount!"
Lan Qingqing stepped forward to shield Mo Kai Liang from Wu Youyou’s taunts, filled with disgust. "Wu Youyou, don’t go too far! Don’t project your filthy heart onto others!"
Wu Youyou laughed heartily. "Lan Qingqing, have you been dreaming too much about being in a wealthy family? Military industry? What are you doing? Researching planes and cannons? With all your bragging, why haven’t you been launched into the sky? You're just the best at being a show-off!"
Lan Qingqing trembled with anger, losing some of her composure in her frustration. She pointed out the window toward the parking lot where an eye-catching Rolls Royce was parked, visible to everyone in the office.
"Look at my husband's car! Do you still want me to prove anything? Should I take you to see my husband's villa? He said that after we get married, everything he has will be mine. What about you? What do you own that's solely yours? Your wealthy brother-in-law?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Youyou raised her hand as if to slap Lan Qingqing. Fortunately, Tong Le intervened just in time. At that moment, Mo Kai Liang instinctively stepped in front of Lan Qingqing.
Tong Le would not allow Wu Youyou to hit Lan Qingqing; after all, there was still a life growing inside her. If something tragic happened, not only would Wu Youyou face trouble, but the entire Zong Shi Yan Tuan would be implicated as well.
Moreover, given Lan Qingqing's penchant for theatrics—she had once staged a fainting spell in the break room—if Wu Youyou were to actually strike her, Lan Qingqing would surely seize the opportunity to exaggerate the situation dramatically!
Mo Kai Liang’s protective instincts kicked in as he clenched his fists tightly. Though men should not hit women, if Wu Youyou dared to lay a finger on Lan Qingqing, he would fight back without hesitation!
