Mo Yuqing showed a confused expression when she heard the question, “Who are you waiting for?”
She sat here for a long time, but it seemed that she had never thought about it.
Bei Quan and Mo Yuqing looked at each other wordlessly.
Mo Yuqing didn’t respond to his question, instead turned her head and stared at the dark mountains in the distance with her desolate eyes. It was as if she had no sense of what was happening around her.
Bei Quan turned back and hooked his finger at Wei Fuyuan.
Young Master Wei understood immediately.
He quickly stepped forward, opened the photo album on his mobile phone and handed it to Bei Quan.
Bei Quan displayed the screen in front of Mo Yuqing.
“Are you waiting for him perhaps?”
Mo Yuqing lowered her head upon hearing this.
On the screen was a selfie.
In the photo, a man and a woman were intimately attached to each other, along with their cheeks squished close together and index fingers wrapped together. Red pillars and railings could be seen around them, and a corner of the pavilion’s cornice was faintly visible from the edge.
Mo Yuqing was stunned.
The woman in the picture was herself, and the other person…
“Ziye…”
“Are you and Manager Xu lovers?”
Bei Quan took back the mobile phone and asked softly, “This park is where you used to come on dates. You took this picture here, didn’t you?”
Wei Fuyuan, from the sideline, noted that Mo Yuqing’s reply was exceedingly slow, far slower than that of an executive assistant with strong business skills or even a young woman in her early twenties.
But this picture touched her.
“Yes…”
Mo Yuqing muttered to herself.
“Ziye and I are lovers… W-we are together… ”
She paused, “No… We have separated…”
Mo Yuqing said, “He’s getting married… He’s getting married soon… ”
After hearing her affirm to them, Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan said in their hearts, “Sure enough.”

As early as adolescence, Mo Yuqing knew her advantages and shortcomings and accordingly chose a media major in college and joined Lisa Media after graduation.
Her only purpose in this line of work was to find a wealthy husband.
Mo Yuqing had a specific criterion for her potential spouse.
The other party should be a senior in the same industry, at a position higher than hers, skilled and promising, and able to assist her in her career development.
Furthermore, the other party had to establish a solid footing in the city with a house and a car. It would be preferable if the family was wealthy too.
Hence, as soon as Mo Yuqing joined the company, she set her sights on Xu Ziye, the manager of the public relations department.
Manager Xu’s family condition was average, but he was performing well in the industry and had a bright future ahead of him. He was also tall and attractive. He was a walking testosterone, which made him highly appealing to women.
Lisa Media had obscure rules regarding workplace dating. But, Xu Ziye had always chosen to strictly avoid engaging in such relationships at work for the sake of his future.
Manager Xu, on the other hand, had recently separated from his third girlfriend and was in a delicate emotional state. In the face of the deliberate kindness of Mo Yuqing, a great beauty, Xu Ziye almost fell for her without resistance, breaking his principle of never falling in love with coworkers.
However, Xu Ziye was still thinking about his future in the company, so even if he was dating Mo Yuqing, he only considered her a secret lover.
He never showed any familiarity with Mo Yuqing, no more than a nodding acquaintance in the company, nor did he bring her back to his own home, let alone go to the other party’s house.
In addition, he never stayed overnight in a well-kept hotel with her, in fear of running into an acquaintance. Xu Ziye would only choose a place where there were few people like the back of Mingtai mountain.
The group photo of Manager Xu and Mo Yuqing on their mobile phone was the only intimate photo taken by Xu Ziye and Mo Yuqing that could prove their relationship. The place where they took the photo was some shabby, nameless pavilion.
Mo Yuqing insisted on taking the photo and then sent it to Xu Ziye via WeChat.
Shortly after taking this photo, Xu Ziye, who was a very ambitious individual, abandoned her and began dating Miss Lan Tian, the director of the company’s daughter.
Mo Yuqing sat in the pavilion. Like a patient with Alzheimer’s disease, she had to think hard for a while before her memories of the past with Xu Ziye became clear.
At this time, Bei Quan asked, “Xu Ziye is dead, do you know?”
Mo Yuqing thought for a while.
“Yes.”
She nodded.
“Do you know why Xu Ziye died?”
Mo Yuqing’s face became puzzled.
“Ziye, why did he die?” The girl murmured.
“He was killed…”
“He quarreled with his colleague and was killed by the other party…”
Bei Quan continued to guide her step by step.
“So, why did Xu Ziye quarrel with others?”
Mo Yuqing’s stagnant eyes now glowed with a sharp glint.
“Yes, because of ‘Yan Shuangshuang’.” She said, “There is a new intern at our company. Everyone likes her, and every man falls for her…”
Bei Quan asked, “Who is ‘Yan Shuangshuang’?”
Mo Yuqing replied, “She is my colleague.”
Then, she proceeded to describe her appearance more specifically.
“She has a melon seed face, big eyes, small mouth, peach heart-shaped lips and dimples when she smiles…”
Bei Quan interrupted Mo Yuqing’s description.
He took out a photo and handed it to her.
“Melon face, big eyes— just like this person?”
Mo Yuqing’s emotionless face showed a bewildered expression when she saw the photo.
“As for the small mouth, there are dimples while laughing…”
Bei Quan took out another photo.
“There happens to be another person here, who is also very similar to your description.”
In front of Mo Yuqing, the two photographs were placed side by side.
The two girls in the photos, one older and the other younger, appeared to have just graduated from university.
They were not great beauties who had the capability to enter the entertainment circle like Mo Yuqing, but they were quite attractive and their facial features were extremely detailed.
“They used to be your colleagues, right?”
Bei Quan asked with a smile, “Do you remember them?”
Mo Yuqing’s lips trembled.
“Remember…”
Bei Quan smiled.
“Lisa Media had an accident in mid-March this year.” He said in a chatty tone.
“During the rehearsal of the anniversary celebration of a live broadcast platform, the LED indicator sign on the edge of the aisle had been glued incorrectly. Unfortunately, it fell on top of the hostess and injured her spine. She is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.”
“The intern in charge of pasting the LED indication markers was fired by the company, and she had to compensate a substantial portion of the hostess’s medical expenses.”
Bei Quan looked at Mo Yuqing.
“Coincidentally, you were at the rehearsal scene when the accident happened.”
He paused and enunciated carefully, “Also, the one who was initially supposed to go through the stage procedure should be executive director Lan Tian.”
Mo Yuqing raised her head, her murky gaze fixed on Bei Quan’s.
Her formerly cloudy eyes were now miraculously clear.
“Yes, I did it…” Mo Yuqing whispered, “I did it.”
The past, which she had purposefully forgotten and buried in the depths of her consciousness, was unearthed by two strangers without warning. Mo Yuqing felt something akin to ‘relief,’ rather than terror and anxiety.
She admitted that she was jealous of Lan Tian.
That woman was nowhere better than her, but since she was born with a golden spoon, she could have everything she desired with a snap of her fingers.
Lan Tian had money which she could never be able to earn on her own even if she slagged off her entire life. She was able to receive the highest level of education, was quickly promoted to executive director despite having no qualifications, effortlessly took her Xu Ziye, and became his fiancee.
As for Mo Yuqing herself, no one, whether they were colleagues or friends, knew that she had been with Xu Ziye before.
The only evidence that she had been with Xu Ziye for a brief period was a couple photo in her mobile phone photo album.
Bei Quan continued, “You wanted to take revenge on Lan Tian, didn’t you?”
Mo Yuqing nodded.
She was so jealous of Lan Tian that she couldn’t sleep at night. She wanted to trample the woman under her feet and bash her head fiercely.
So Mo Yuqing took advantage of the opportunity for the two to work together and secretly moved the LED indicator marker to the edge of the aisle when no one noticed. She wanted to have Lan Tian, who had a ritual of walking through the process in person, step onto the stage during the formal rehearsal.
At that time, Lan Tian didn’t know that her efficient and obedient assistant was her sworn rival. She didn’t put up any defense in her heart.
Mo Yuqing was extremely confident in her plan. She just wanted to see Lan Tian fall from grace.
It was a pity that the one who fell, in the end, was an innocent hostess.
The poor hostess was so unlucky that she knocked her waist on the steps and broke her spine, and would never be able to walk again in her life.
The female host was only 31 years old, and her child had not yet been to kindergarten. Someone had to be held accountable for such a terrible disaster, so the intern who glued the LED indicators had to bear the brunt of the blame.
This naïve intern had recently graduated and had no social experience. She wasn’t even able to defend herself and was promptly charged with negligence on the job which resulted in a serious injury.
The girl was not only dismissed, but a civil lawsuit was filed against her and she had to pay a large amount of money.
The newly graduated girl’s deposit was only four figures. Her parents hardly pieced together enough to collect compensation for their daughter’s blunder. Naturally, she could not continue to work in this industry and had to go back to her hometown to find another job.
From the beginning to end, Mo Yuqing, who was the real perpetrator, was never suspected by anyone.
