“The man who hit on you is already married. His wife is the daughter of a board member of the Qiyan Group.”

Ling Xiaoqi was a little surprised. Ning Siyuan did not tell her about this. “Then why is he still…”

“I guess he’s not a well-behaved person to begin with. He only wants to climb up the ranks and is unwilling to submit to others. However, his father-in-law was only a small director of Qiyan Group and not even the chairman. The chairman of their company is friends with that man, and they are on the same level. It could be seen that that man’s status is higher than his father-in-law’s.”

“People go up the ladder. If he wanted to climb up the ladder, the fastest shortcut would be to hook up with a woman who is better than his current wife and could bring him a bright future. That person would be you.”

Ling Xiaoqi’s face darkened. She was obviously disgusted and dissatisfied with herself for being a tool for others to climb up.

“Have you ever heard of the saying that the way a person is, they will naturally think that others are the same as them? They will put their thoughts on others. In his opinion, you are a poor girl who has no money, no power, and no one to rely on. You will yearn for the warmth of a family. You will also love money as much as he does. You will want to soar to the sky and become the second generation of the rich that everyone is envious of. There’s no reason for you to reject such a good thing.”

Ling Xiaoqi pursed her lips. “But I will reject him, so he is destined to be disappointed.”

Su Yayan glanced at her and deliberately teased her. “Isn’t it a possibility for you to have a change of heart and fall in love with someone else? Maybe you would abandon this high potential Young Master Ning and turn to look at such a thing blindly?”

Ling Xiaoqi was stunned. After realizing that Su Yayan was making fun of her on purpose, she glared at her angrily and seemed to have thought of something, she asked tentatively, “Yanyan, did you already know that the Qiyan Group… is related to that man?”

In fact, when Ning Siyuan found out about that man’s background and told her the whole story, Ling Xiaoqi already had a trace of doubt in her heart.

When she had just returned from abroad, she had interviewed several companies before deciding to go to this Qiyan Group, which had better conditions in all aspects.

However, in the end, before she had the time to apply for a position, she was forced into East City by Su Yayan.

At that time, she did not think much of it. She only thought that Su Yayan was worried that she would be bullied in other companies and wanted her to join her company. If anything happened, it would be convenient to take care of her.

Now that she thought about it, she felt that Su Yayan’s reaction when he heard that she was going to Qiyan Group was not quite right. It was as if she knew that she would suffer a loss if she joined the company.

At that time, she only thought that Su Yayan was worried that she would be harassed by that man and suffer a loss because of the unspoken rules of the business. Now, she felt that she might have long known that she would be involved with that man if she joined that company, when the time came, she would have a contract with him, so it was inevitable that she would suffer a loss!

When Su Yayan saw that she had discovered it, she did not continue to hide it. She sighed and asked carefully, “Are you angry?”

“I’m not angry. I just hope that you can tell me about this next time you know something like this. After all, I’m the person involved. I know that you’re doing this for my own good, but it’s a little uncomfortable to be kept in the dark about something like this. And I’m an adult, so stop treating me like I’m a fragile child. Even though I hate that man, he really doesn’t mean that much to me.”
