Bai Yueguang returns to China, don't be a spare tire, divorce Lin

Chapter 267 Enemies meet on a narrow road

Ye Wanqing slowly woke up from her sleep and found that Lin Xuan was no longer by her side. Only the special cup belonging to her was left on the bedside table. The cup was filled with warm water and still carried his delicate care.

She reached out and touched it gently. The water temperature was just right, still warm, as if he had never left.

The curtains were tightly drawn, blocking out both the noise and light from the outside world. The room was filled with a soft darkness, making it difficult to tell whether it was the dawn or dusk.

Ye Wanqing wanted to check her phone to confirm the time, but just as she raised her hand, she suddenly remembered that she had left her phone in her bag at the entrance.

When Lin Xuan gently carried her into the room last night, she completely forgot about the chaos in the outside world, including the communication tool lying quietly in her bag.

Thinking of this, her cheeks couldn't help but blush shyly, as if she could still feel the warmth of his embrace.

After making some adjustments, she slowly got out of bed, picked up the remote control, pressed it lightly, and the curtains slowly opened. The scenery outside appeared before her like a painting.

The sun shines through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows, and the room instantly becomes bright, indicating that it will be another bright day.

Ye Wanqing stood on the balcony, letting the breeze brush against her cheeks, taking away a trace of her morning sleepiness. She then turned and walked into the room to start washing up.

After tidying herself up, she picked up the still-warm water and sipped it as she headed for the stairs, mentally planning her plans for the day. She found her phone, turned it on, and saw the time had slipped quietly to nearly nine o'clock, giving her a slight start.

Outside the window, the sky is blue and the clouds are leisurely and contented.

After breakfast, Ye Wanqing took her drawing board and sat on the balcony, capturing this beautiful scene on the canvas.

The clock ticked past ten o'clock, and her phone vibrated. Lin Xuan's message arrived as promised, briefly informing her that he had an engagement tonight and couldn't accompany her. Ye Wanqing nodded slightly. Although she felt a little regretful, she also understood his busy schedule.

Then, she sent a message to her good friend Qin Zhuyu, making an appointment to have dinner together and enjoy this rare leisure time.

Today was Friday, and Qin Zhuyu had an interview assignment this afternoon, which was expected to be completed around 4:00. After receiving the reply, Ye Wanqing drove to Qin Zhuyu's workplace.

The two hadn't seen each other for half a month. As soon as they met, Qin Zhuyu looked at Ye Wanqing carefully: "Wanqing, why do I feel that you have become a little rounder recently?"

Hearing this, Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "Yes, I have a good appetite recently and have eaten more."

Qin Zhuyu mentioned yesterday's events while fastening her seatbelt: "By the way, how's your investigation going on with that video?"

"We've already found out. It was someone who had a grudge against me in the past who was behind this." Ye Wanqing said in a calm tone, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Is it solved?" Qin Zhuyu asked with concern.

"It's been resolved." Ye Wanqing said lightly. She believed that Zhang Qing would stop Zhang Duoer's crazy behavior for the reputation of the Zhang family.

Qin Zhuyu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "I saw the video clip the editor-in-chief gave me yesterday. It was completely taken out of context and pieced together maliciously! If they really make this matter public online, it will be troublesome."

In this age of information explosion, the speed at which a piece of news spreads is staggering.

The Internet environment is complex and changeable, with fragmented information flying all over the place. People often only pay attention to eye-catching fragments, while the truth is often ignored.

Once that video gets circulated, it will be extremely difficult for Ye Wanqing to prove her innocence.

"Yes, I understand." Ye Wanqing nodded gently, with a barely perceptible firmness in her tone, "Don't worry, this matter won't get out of hand."

To change the subject, she asked softly, "Did your interview go well today?"

Qin Zhuyu sighed, "It wasn't going well. That guest was so difficult to please. He had a bad temper and didn't answer any questions properly."

Along the way, Qin Zhuyu kept complaining about the difficult guest, and Ye Wanqing occasionally interrupted with questions, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Soon, the car came to a steady stop in the parking lot of the dining venue.

Ye Wanqing parked the car. The place was bustling with people coming and going, so Qin Zhuyu stopped complaining about the guest.

She knew her limits well. Most of her interviewees were public figures, so it was okay to complain a few words in private, but in public, she had to be careful with her words and actions to avoid getting into trouble.

The two walked into the restaurant side by side, and Ye Wanqing announced the table that Lin Xuan had already reserved.

This position is extremely popular. If Lin Xuan hadn't asked Secretary Zhao for help, they might not have had such good luck today.

Qin Zhuyu had long since let go of the relationship between Ye Wanqing and Lin Xuan. The two smiled at each other and followed the waiter to the window booth.

Not long after I sat down, a familiar and unexpected voice rang out: "Ms. Xu, this way please."

Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Zhang Duoer enthusiastically greeting Xu Xinyi and walking towards them.

The two of them didn't seem to notice the presence of Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu.

Qin Zhuyu just took a sip of the water in the cup, and her eyes followed Ye Wanqing's gaze to a place not far away.

When she saw that it was Xu Xinyi and Zhang Duoer sitting side by side, she couldn't help but frown slightly: "What a narrow road for enemies to cross. How did they end up together?"

Qin Zhuyu still vividly remembers the incident at the ski resort. Although she and Zhang Duoer weren't close friends, as a media professional, she possesses an exceptional memory for faces.

Ye Wanqing retracted her gaze and looked at Qin Zhuyu, a faint smile on her lips: "Zhuyu, do you mind if we change seats?"

Qin Zhuyu instantly understood Ye Wanqing's intention and nodded: "Of course I don't mind. I also want to hear what they are plotting. Maybe it really has something to do with you."

Both of them knew in their hearts that Zhang Duoer and Xu Xinyi had no good feelings towards Ye Wanqing, and if they got together, nothing good would probably happen.

After getting Qin Zhuyu's consent, Ye Wanqing immediately called the waiter and politely asked to change seats.

Considering that they arrived early and occupied such a great seat by the window, the waiter naturally had no reason to refuse them.

Ye Wanqing and Qin Zhuyu moved to a position diagonally behind Zhang Duoer and Xu Xinyi, maintaining an appropriate distance so that they would not be too conspicuous while still being able to clearly capture the content of their conversation.

Shortly after sitting down, she vaguely heard Xu Xinyi and Zhang Duoer mention the name "Ye Wanqing". Qin Zhuyu couldn't help but snort: "These two women are really not that simple. Coming here to eat is just a cover!"

Ye Wanqing was not completely immersed in the conversation between Zhang Duoer and Xu Xinyi. She elegantly ordered two special dishes, turned to Qin Zhuyu and smiled:

"Let's take a look at the menu and enjoy the food."

Qin Zhuyu quickly took out a small and exquisite recorder from her handbag, gently pressed the switch, and started recording.

In this way, no matter how Zhang Duoer and Xu Xinyi argue, they cannot deny their words and actions.

Ye Wanqing glanced at the recorder on the table and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In this regard, Qin Zhuyu was always more careful and thorough than her.

At this time, the restaurant was not crowded, and the atmosphere was quiet and elegant. After ordering, Qin Zhuyu and Ye Wanqing chatted while secretly paying attention to the conversation between Zhang Duoer and Xu Xinyi.

Sure enough, the two people's topic always revolved around Ye Wanqing, and their words were full of malice and dissatisfaction towards her.

Zhang Duoer mentioned last night's humiliation and the suspension of her credit card, and her emotions became increasingly agitated. "Ms. Xu, Ye Wanqing is not someone you can easily deal with. Even if we two join forces, we may not be able to teach her a profound lesson."

Xu Xinyi naturally knew this very well. With Lin Xuan as a strong backer, it would be extremely difficult to touch Ye Wanqing.

But she wasn't about to give up easily: "Doesn't she make a living as a writer? I heard the web series adapted from her novel is going to be online this week. Weren't you and her classmates? You've known each other for so long, don't you have any leverage over her?"

Zhang Duoer bit her lower lip when she heard this, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes: "I do have some things in my hands, but I'm worried that if things get out of hand, it will be difficult for us to end it."

When Xu Xinyi heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, as if she had discovered some treasure: "What do you have in your hand?"
