35: Chapter 35 This move is too amazing

Downstairs, the car with a Beijing license plate was still parked there.

He reopened the picture sent by his subordinate, confirming it was indeed that car.

Did he lose track, or did his subordinate make a mistake?

Would Gu Shiyu get into such a shabby car?

He thought it was impossible.

Xiao Nianchen got into his G-Wagon with his assistant.

"Back to the company!"

Xiao Nianchen's car hadn't even returned to the company when Lin Xueyao's call came through.

"Brother Nianchen, I'm off work. Where are you?"

Xiao Nianchen checked his watch; it was rush hour, and the road to the CBD would be congested. He had only said he would pick her up to annoy Song Yuan, and now he didn't want to go at all.

"I'm a bit busy at the moment and can't leave. Why don't you take the subway to my company?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Xueyao was clearly unhappy, but she didn't say it directly. Instead, she spoke in a passive-aggressive tone:

"Song Yuan never told me to take the subway; he always came downstairs to pick me up."

Xiao Nianchen rubbed his temples. He didn't want to provoke her. She thought Song Yuan was still that devoted simp, but he was already intimately involved with other women, even getting intimate in fitting rooms.

"Then should I have Song Yuan pick you up?"

Lin Xueyao, sitting at her workstation, paused, and the next second, her chest heaved with anger.

After a long moment, she suppressed her grievance and said, "I'll come to you."

After hanging up, Lin Xueyao grew angrier the more she thought about it.

Xiao Nianchen only gave her empty promises; he hadn't fulfilled a single thing he'd promised her. The most expensive gift he'd given her didn't even exceed a four-digit sum.

She had been in a bad mood these past few days. After Song Yuan sold the house, she also fell out with her family.

Homeless, she was staying with her best friend, Qiao Xi, but that wasn't a long-term solution.

To escape her current predicament, she could only endure.

She had to first get Xiao Nianchen to help her with accommodation, at least securing a house.

That way, the next time Song Yuan came to beg for forgiveness, she could confidently tell him, 'I don't care about your shabby house; there are plenty of men willing to buy me a house!'

She wanted to make Song Yuan regret it for the rest of his life.

Lin Xueyao packed her bag and went downstairs. She couldn't stand the unpleasant smell of the subway. She opened her phone, ready to book a ride-hailing car, but after hesitating for a few seconds when she saw the estimated fare, she exited the app.

She had very little money left on her card. Without Song Yuan, her free meal ticket, she had to be frugal to last until next payday.

If she took a taxi every time, she couldn't afford to live.

Lin Xueyao was sighing at her balance. If she hadn't been so impulsive and directly broken up with Song Yuan, she wouldn't be in this situation of squeezing onto the subway.

She should have at least secured Xiao Nianchen before breaking up with Song Yuan. This might have really provoked Song Yuan.

She regretted it a little.

However, she was confident that Song Yuan would come back and beg her.

Tomorrow was their originally scheduled wedding. Before the wedding, she was sure she could wait for Song Yuan to return.

While Lin Xueyao was feeling melancholic, a black car stopped in front of her.

Lin Xueyao looked at the familiar car body, snorted through her nose, and thought, 'Speak of the devil, and he appears.'

Song Yuan was so resolute when he sold the house, but wasn't he still coming back to beg her obediently?

She would not forgive him!

Then, she saw a portly, greasy-haired man get out of the driver's seat with a confused expression; it wasn't Song Yuan after all.

Wang Jincai owned the same model of car as Song Yuan. He got out and greeted her with a smile.

"You must be Miss Lin?"

Lin Xueyao had met Wang Jincai before. She had attended his company's annual meeting with Song Yuan and had an impression of his leader.

"Mr. Wang?"

Wang Jincai smiled and nodded, extending a hand to greet her.

"Hello, Miss Lin, I am Song Yuan's leader. Our company's outstanding family member award for this quarter has selected you as Song Yuan's fiancée.

I hope that in the future, you will continue to support Song Yuan's work. The company cannot do without you."

Lin Xueyao nodded and exchanged a few pleasantries, not quite understanding the other party's intention.

The next second, Wang Jincai pulled out a shopping card from his wallet and handed it over.

"This contains two hundred thousand yuan, and the password is Song Yuan's birthday. This is the reward for the outstanding family member. Song Yuan is busy with a project, so I specifically came to deliver it to you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyao couldn't help but curve her lips.

"Did Song Yuan ask you to come?"

Wang Jincai's eyes darted, and he immediately responded, "Yes, the company values him highly. This card has a time limit; it's best to spend it before tomorrow!"

Lin Xueyao felt a pang of doubt. What kind of card had an expiration date?

However, thinking it was from Song Yuan's company, she didn't think too much of it.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'll use it to buy things today."

Wang Jincai nodded with a smile, then returned to his car.

The assistant asked uncertainly, "Mr. Wang, will this trick work?"

Wang Jincai scoffed, "Of course it will work. I'm a good judge of character. Song Yuan's fiancée won't refuse shopping. As long as she spends this card today, Song Yuan will be under my control.

If he comes back, everything's fine. If he doesn't, then he's embezzling public funds and will be facing jail time."

The assistant praised, "Mr. Wang, your trick is too brilliant."

"To deal with someone like Song Yuan, who is impervious to both soft and hard tactics, you have to play dirty."

On the other side, Lin Xueyao had received the card, and her previous unhappiness vanished.

She first checked it at the ATM in the building. After entering Song Yuan's birthday, there was indeed two hundred thousand yuan in the balance.

Lin Xueyao hadn't bought a bag in a while. That morning, the SA at the LV store had even WeChatted her to say that the style she had always liked was back in stock, and there was only one in the entire Jingbei district.

How could she miss such an opportunity?

Lin Xueyao walked towards the mall across the street, her high heels feeling more energized as she stepped on the ground.

Upon entering the store, she directly bought that bag. After swiping the card, she still had tens of thousands of yuan left.

She thought it was a shame not to spend it, so she went to a nearby jewelry store and bought jewelry with all the remaining money.

Song Yuan had already taken the initiative to show goodwill, so she no longer needed to worry about whether the money on her salary card was enough to sustain her life. She directly picked up her phone and booked a car to Xiao Nianchen's company.

Xiao Nianchen's assistant stopped her downstairs.

"Miss Lin, Mr. Xiao will be down shortly. He instructed you to wait for him downstairs."

Lin Xueyao was displeased. Xiao Nianchen was still wary of her, not even allowing her to step into the company lobby.

She suddenly felt she had backed the wrong horse. Even if Xiao Nianchen was a rich second-generation heir and wealthier than Song Yuan, his money had nothing to do with her.

Because Xiao Nianchen was reluctant to spend it on her.

Song Yuan didn't have as much money, but he was willing to give her everything.

Things had come to this point, and she was unwilling to give up directly, especially since she had slept with Xiao Nianchen a few times. Giving up now would truly mean he had taken advantage of her for free.

Lin Xueyao patiently waited downstairs. In a few minutes, Xiao Nianchen walked out of the building, and the first thing he asked when he saw her was, "Did you really not meet Song Yuan today?"
