Looking at the chaotic scene in the office, Lan Qingqing thought that it seemed like they were about to sort out all the accounts of Tongshan Real Estate.
In the conference room, Tong Le poured a cup of tea for Lan Qingqing as they sat facing each other.
Tong Le spoke up, "You didn't tell me about your mother's passing. Have you taken care of everything regarding her funeral?"
Lan Qingqing nodded. "It's not a big deal; there's nothing much to say. My mom had been bedridden for so long that this day was inevitable. I didn't think it was necessary to inform you and Tian Ling. I handled everything myself; it was less of a hassle that way."
She glanced at Tong Le, testing the waters. "But you know why I came to see you today, right? I'm here under the pretext of doing company business, but really, the whole Zong Group is buzzing about you and Zong Zeyu! So many people have come to ask me what's going on, and as your closest friend, I had no idea!"
With a hint of reproach, Lan Qingqing continued, "So how are you going to make it up to me? You cheating is one thing, but your affair is with my boss! Tong Le, you really kept this under wraps; you didn't even tell me!"
Tong Le chuckled lightly. "Not telling you was my mistake. I thought since you're an employee of Zong Group, you'd be better off not knowing. I was worried you might spill the beans. But now, everyone knows; my reputation is in tatters!"
Lan Qingqing feigned ignorance. "So what’s going on between you and Ke Jie now?"
Tong Le shot her a glance; she was still putting on an act. Their mutual understanding was evident, yet they were both playing their parts. Tong Le had no intention of exposing Lan Qingqing's secret affair with Ke Jie or her husband, Mo Kai Liang. This game needed to last longer to be interesting.
"Well, what else can I do? Divorce," Tong Le admitted candidly.
Lan Qingqing tensed up. "And then what? Marry Zong Zeyu? Do you really think he would marry you?"
Her eyes were filled with urgency; she desperately wanted to know how far things had progressed between Tong Le and Zong Zeyu. If Tong Le managed to marry Zong Zeyu after divorcing Ke Jie, Lan Qingqing would be furious! Jealous! Why should that happen? They were both from the same background, attended the same university, and had similar life experiences. Why should Tong Le get to marry Zong Zeyu while she was left picking up someone else's discarded leftovers?
Tong Le knew exactly what Lan Qingqing was thinking; she deliberately provoked her. "Zong Zeyu does want to marry me, but I'm just not ready yet. We'll see when the time comes."
Lan Qingqing spoke anxiously, "Tong Le, you really should consider this matter seriously. Even though you're my closest friend, in your marriage with Ke Jie, you're the one at fault. You cheated on him; you've wronged Ke Jie. If he decides to divorce you unexpectedly, you need to grasp who truly loves you—Ke Jie or Zong Zeyu? It's obvious who is genuine and who is just a fleeting interest!"
Tong Le replied, "Do you really think Zong Zeyu sees me as just a passing fancy?"
Lan Qingqing nodded vigorously. "What else could it be? Is it true love? He's such a wealthy man! Can he genuinely care for you? It's probably just a thrill for him! And now he's made a mess of things! Don't believe any promises he makes; they're just temporary measures to keep you around! Once you're actually divorced from Ke Jie, Zong Zeyu will definitely change his tune and deny wanting to marry you!"
Tong Le smiled and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
