"Really?" The woman who was very important to Mu Tongzi was coming back, and this news was too sudden for her. She was slightly stunned for a moment before raising her eyes. "Yue Qingchen's return doesn't seem to affect my work here, right? I was personally appointed by the President. If he wants me to leave, I will leave immediately. If he doesn't say anything, I won't just abandon my work."
"You... what do you mean by that? You don't actually think the President likes you, do you? To him, you're just a plaything. Yue Qingchen is the most important person to him; what are you? Don't think that he actually likes you. You're just a pawn in his competition with Jiang Shao!"
As soon as she said this, she suddenly realized she had said something she shouldn't have and hurriedly closed her mouth.
It was precisely this obvious reaction that made Green Qi furrow her brows and raised some doubts in her heart. "What do you mean by what you just said? What does my work here have to do with Jiang Chengmu?"
"Since I've let it slip, I won't hide it from you anymore. It's common knowledge now that Mu Group, Xue Group, and Jiang Group are all competing for the Meihai Resort land. Although Mu Group has always been ahead, the strength of the Jiang Family and Xue Family cannot be underestimated. If they join forces, the Mu Family may not necessarily be their match. And since you are Jiang Chengmu's wife, how could the President not make good use of you?"
"Really?" A teasing smile appeared on Green Qi's lips as she slightly narrowed her eyes, a hint of coldness covering her clear gaze. "I never expected I would be so valuable, but it seems you've underestimated the situation."
"What do you mean?" Liu Xinran looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I'm well aware of the competition between the three companies, but you don't know the inside story. Even if I am a pawn, as long as I still have value, he won't abandon me! If Yue Qingchen comes back and Mu Tongzi wants me to leave, I won't cling to my position. As for you, there's no need to stand up for Yue Qingchen anymore. I know my own identity well and hope you understand yours too."
"You..." Good intentions turned into a lesson for Liu Xinran, who glared at the woman sitting calmly in the office chair with a dark expression. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Fine, just wait. Yue Qingchen is not an easy woman; don't say I didn't warn you when the time comes!"
"Then thank you for your warning!" Lowering her head, she picked up a document beside her and began to read it. Just as she opened it, she heard sharp footsteps and the sound of a door slamming.
Her hand paused on the paper as Green Qi looked at the empty office and sighed helplessly.
She was well aware of her own identity; the entangled relationship between her and Mu Tongzi had likely begun from the day she sought his help, falling into a cycle of using and being used—becoming a pawn in his hands without any choice in the matter.
After all, this transaction was never an equal exchange from the very beginning.
Now that Xue Yiyang has returned to her country, it involves more than just two people; in this tripartite situation, she is inevitably drawn into it.
However, she couldn't understand why, upon hearing that she was merely a pawn of Mu Tongzi, a sense of sadness welled up within her.
These past few days in B City, his pampering and indulgence made her almost believe she was in a dream. If she weren't so clear about her own identity, she might have truly thought she was in love. His tenderness made her unable to resist wanting to get closer and rely on him, but she knew she couldn't.
