Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Chapter 275: A soldier never tires of deceit

"You!" Lin Mei was speechless.

"Qiao Luo, did you see something?"

Lin Mei seemed to realize what was happening and asked with some wariness.

Qiao Luo stared into her eyes: "What does Editor Lin mean?"

Lin Mei met her gaze, then gave in. Unsure if she had seen anything, she dared not point it out rashly, and could only warn her sullenly, "You'd better not have seen anything, otherwise, you know what will happen."

After Lin Mei finished speaking, she gave her a cold glare, picked up her handbag, and left.

Qiao Luo frowned as she watched her departing figure. Was this a threat to her?

"Why did it take you so long?"

Back in the private room, Lu Tingnian asked, puzzled.

Qiao sat down and then said, "I ran into an acquaintance and we exchanged a few words."

"Oh? What acquaintance?"

Lu Tingnian was quite curious.

Qiao Luo originally didn't want Lu Tingnian to know about her encounter with Lin Mei, since there wasn't much to say. However, thinking about Lin Mei's arrogant demeanor just now, she couldn't help but complain.

"A mortal enemy at work."

"A mortal enemy? Your boss?" Lu Tingnian guessed.

Qiao Luo had only intended to make a casual comment, but she was surprised that he guessed it so quickly. "How did you know?" she asked.

Lu Tingnian knew he had guessed correctly just by looking at her expression.

In fact, he had seen the two people when he parked earlier, but he recognized Mr. Hu first.

"My guess."

Qiao Luo didn't believe it, but considering that she had mentioned her past conflict with Lin Mei to him before, she wasn't surprised.

“She’s with one of our company’s senior executives. I’d heard rumors about them before, but I didn’t believe them. I never thought it was true.”

"It's that kind of unhealthy relationship, you know what I mean."

Qiao Luo added.

Lu Tingnian finally understood; it turned out he had caught his colleague having an affair.

"And then what?" Lu Tingnian asked again.

"And then? That's it... nothing more." Qiao Luo shrugged.

But it's clear that she didn't tell the whole story.

Even if she didn't say it, Lu Tingnian could guess that it was nothing more than a battle of wits between women.

However, he remained convinced that it was definitely not Qiao Luo who started it.

"Do you want revenge?"

Lu Tingnian suddenly asked.

Qiao Luo asked in surprise, "What revenge?"

Lu Tingnian: "You've caught her in an affair. Now that she knows, she'll definitely target you. Why not strike first before she does anything?"

Qiao Luo hadn't expected this.

"How do you plan to strike first?"

She asked.

Lu Tingnian: "Isn't she having an affair with one of your higher-ups? Let's start with that."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo seemed to understand.

But she immediately refused.

"Let's forget about it. It's despicable to stab someone in the back like that."

Lu Tingnian: "This is not called despicable, this is called all's fair in war. Besides, didn't she also use her connections to attack you before? What you're doing is just retribution."

Qiao Luo thought about it and realized it made a lot of sense.

However, she has always been upright and honest in the workplace and has never stooped to using such tactics.

Moreover, she always felt that even if she wanted to get revenge, she should compete in business, which was much more meaningful than resorting to underhanded tactics.

With that in mind, she stopped paying attention.

The next day, the incident caused an uproar in the company.
