Chapter 500: Betrayal

In the corner, Zhang Yue heard the conversation between the two very clearly.
Leaning against the wall, she looked up at the gradually dimming sky, feeling the chili despite the early summer weather. Though it was still summer, she shivered uncontrollably.
What she hadn’t expected was that Wen Miao, who had always been considerate of Mei Shu, would choose betrayal.
If Wen Miao could betray Mei Shu for her own safety, then maybe what happened last night was indeed Wen Miao’s doing!
She stood there without moving until both of them had left. Slowly, she began to regain warmth in her hands and feet.
“Do you now believe that Wen Miao is the mastermind behind everything?” Song Yan had somehow taken off his coat and draped it over her.
Zhang Yue’s eyelids trembled, and she suddenly slumped to the ground.
The wounds on her body were still aching, but the pain was far less than the agony in her heart.
She and Wen Miao had been good friends for over a decade. She never thought that, because of Mei Shu’s matter, she would see Wen Miao for who she truly was.
Song Yan helped her up from the ground, gently advising, “The best way for you to turn things around now is to listen to me. Blame everything on Wen Miao. This way, you can return to a normal life. Think about it, if it weren’t for Wen Miao, you wouldn’t have to suffer like this. She caused all of this, and she should bear the consequences for you.”
When Zhang Yue looked up again, tears filled her eyes.
Song Yan took out a tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped away her tears. “Doing this is fair to you. Since she could betray her other friend, she could certainly betray you. Such a person is not worth your trust.”
After saying this, he didn’t rush to prompt Zhang Yue for a response, just quietly waited for her to come to her senses.
After a while, Zhang Yue closed her eyes, wiped away the last tear, and there was nothing but determination in her eyes. “You’re right. The events of last night were definitely not a coincidence. 1’11 do as you say. I don’t want to continue living like a mouse on the run.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve said before; I’m here to help you.” Song Yan’s goal was achieved, and the curve of the smile on his lips never faded.
He escorted Zhang Yue back home and then sat back in his car. He dialed a number on his phone.
“President Shen, everything is taken care of. Don’t worry; she didn’t suspect anything. 1’11 handle things with the police, making sure they won’t suspect you.”
“That’s good. Also, send that person out of Lin City immediately and make sure no one sees him again!” Shen Yuan instructed before hanging up.
The secretary, with a congratulatory smile prepared, said, “President Shen, 1 told you, with Director Song from our public relations department personally involved, nothing unexpected would happen. Now, let Zhang Yue’s attention focus on Wen Miao. Let them fight each other, and during this time, we can thoroughly solve the trouble with the old ghost!”
“Next time, don’t ever find such beasts for tasks!” Shen Yuan rubbed her temples irritably. “This time, let it go. Give the old ghost some money, and make sure he leaves Lincheng forever.”
“Yes, President Shen. Have a cup of tea to calm yourself down. It’s not worth getting angry over such beasts.” The secretary comforted her and then brought up another issue. “But do you really believe what Wen Miao, that girl, said? Could it be that she and Mei Shu conspired to set a trap for us intentionally?”
Shen Yuan squinted her eyes, a glint of coldness flashing in them. “It’s hard to say now. Keep observing for a while. If she can provide genuinely useful information, I’ll temporarily overlook her previous actions online. If she conspired with Mei Shu to deceive me, I will make her regret meeting Mei Shu!”
“Yes, I will continue arranging for people to meet her, keeping an eye on her at all times.” The secretary wisely left the office after saying this.
On the other side, at Mei Corporation.
Mei Shu sat at her desk, watching a video that had just been sent back on her phone. A dangerous smile appeared on her lips. “Tang Mei, check this person, and by the way, is the loan agreement ready?”
“It’s ready.” Tang Mei hesitated, placing the document on the table. She reminded for the last time, “President Mei, the interest in this agreement is too high, exceeding legal standards. Are you sure you want to use this agreement?”
“Of course.” Mei Shu smiled and said, “This agreement will help me a lot in the future. Go and check the man in the photo from earlier. But don’t startle him. I have other plans for him.”
“Okay.” Tang Mei suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and immediately left to inform the relevant departments to start their work.
Behind her, Mei Shu kept her eyes fixed on her figure. On the screen beside her, detailed information that only Mei Shu could see lit up.
Tang Mei might not stand out in other aspects, and her experience might not be extensive, but there was one thing that attracted Mei Shu.
It was that Tang Mei actually had a liking system for Mei Shu.
Looking at the brightly lit five large red hearts at the bottom of the screen, Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh silently.
She really wondered what she had done to make Tang Mei like her so much in such a short time..
