Yes, he had indeed seen on several occasions that this woman always followed Zhai Cheng around.
He never expected that she was actually Zhai Cheng's woman.
A surge of joy welled up in Xu Yan's heart. This was really a lucky strike. With this woman in his hands, why should he worry about Zhai Cheng not obeying him?
Song Ge took in all of Xu Yan's delighted emotions. She lowered her head slightly and the corners of her mouth turned up.
It seemed that this man believed about seventy percent of what she had said.
Xu Yan, sitting across from her, half - squinted his eyes. Only then did he take a good look at Song Ge - this woman wasn't bad - looking. It seemed she was quite resourceful.
However, that man was Zhai Cheng. Could this woman really have captured his heart?
At this moment, some of the joy in Xu Yan's heart faded away. He stood up and walked around Song Ge. His cold and gloomy gaze clung to her like a form of torture.
It seemed that he was suspicious.
Song Ge thought to herself secretly, but on the surface, she remained calm. She sat upright in her seat and openly accepted the gaze Xu Yan cast on her.
"Have you looked your fill?"
Song Ge's cold tone was laced with impatience. She shot a sidelong glance at Xu Yan. At this moment, the woman was like a pure lotus emerging from the mud, exuding a decisive and cold - elegant aura.
This woman was so cold and elegant, a real feisty one. Maybe it was exactly this kind of woman who could win over Zhai Cheng. Xu Yan thought to himself, but there was not a hint of emotion on his face.
"As far as I know, there's no shortage of women around Zhai Cheng, especially beautiful ones." Xu Yan showed a malicious and evil smile. He walked in Song Ge's direction, getting closer step by step.
The strange and disgusting smell of the man wafted towards her. Song Ge forced herself to hold back the discomfort in her heart and only gently frowned her eyebrows.
Xu Yan stretched out a hand. He pinched Song Ge's chin and gently lifted it, forcing Song Ge, who was sitting on the chair, to raise her head.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Song Ge met Xu Yan's probing gaze head - on. He stared intently at every expression on Song Ge's face, like a venomous snake, seemingly trying to find a flaw in her.
This man was quite rational when he wasn't crazy.
Song Ge suppressed the urge to punch Xu Yan. She fearlessly looked into his eyes and mercilessly slapped away Xu Yan's hand.
"Mr. Xu, it was your men who invited me here. Please show some respect. I'm not one of those women in the basement."
The clear sound spread in the quiet living room, abruptly tearing through the heavy atmosphere.
Song Ge lowered her long, crow - feather - like eyelashes. Her fair and delicate little hand gently touched her cheek, as if to make sure her makeup was intact.
Looking at the hand that had been mercilessly slapped away, Xu Yan gave a perverted smile. He walked back to his seat, but there was still a hint of suspicion on his face.
The disgusting sound of footsteps in her ears gradually faded away. Song Ge's ears twitched, and her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.
She lowered her eyes and picked up the red wine on the table. The image of Zhai Cheng flashed through her mind. Then she imitated his elegant way of swirling the wine glass and looked up at Xu Yan with a cold smile.
"Mr. Xu, if your informants just make a little inquiry in Zhai's Group, they'll know that the woman who follows Zhai Cheng around all day is me, and only me."
Seeing Song Ge's actions, Xu Yan's face darkened a lot. This woman's every move really resembled Zhai Cheng's.
Was it because she had been with him for so long that she was influenced by him?
"In February this year, at the Dongye bidding meeting, Zhai's Group showed up at the last moment and won the Dongye project with a bid of 80 million." Song Ge deliberately paused here. She silently observed Xu Yan's reaction and then continued, "Taking away the project that should have belonged to Xu's Group."
Xu Yan was stunned at first, and then slowly clenched his fists.
Clearly, his group was bound to win that time, but out of nowhere, there came a spoiler!
Song Ge raised her willow - leaf eyebrows. She secretly took in all of Xu Yan's reactions and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
"In March, several key employees of your company jumped ship to Zhai's Group." Song Ge took a sip of the red wine in the glass. She let out a soft laugh, which was laced with a bit of irony. "However, Zhai Cheng didn't take them in. He introduced them to other companies."
"I don't think I need to say who those key employees are." Song Ge motioned to the glass goblet in her hand. She tilted her head slightly, and there was a confident smile on her delicate face.
Xu Yan was now looking straight at Song Ge, and anger was burning in his red eyes.
He never expected that this woman even knew the list of the key employees who had jumped ship.
But Song Ge's heart was pounding like a drum. She slightly squinted her beautiful eyes, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of them.
How could she know the list of the key employees? She was just bluffing this pervert.
"Oh, and in June, the major project planned by Zhai Cheng directly became a national priority." Song Ge covered her mouth and chuckled. She asked Xu Yan word by word, "I think you must remember this incident very clearly, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Yan's eyes were blood - red, and his tightly clenched fists were placed on the table.
"After all, I remember that Xu's Group also had a project during the same period, but it was suspected of being a publicity stunt."
When Xu Yan finally heard this sentence come out of Song Ge's mouth, he slammed his fist on the table. The whole dining table trembled.
"Shut up!" There was a hint of anger and humiliation in these two words.
"We can turn the tables as long as we cooperate."
Song Ge ignored Xu Yan's words. She slightly lowered her eyelashes and steadily placed the glass goblet on the table.
Xu Yan stared at Song Ge angrily. This woman's calm and unhurried appearance just added fuel to the fire for him.
"Why should I trust you? It's true that you're the woman around him, but don't forget that for a man in my position, there's never a shortage of women!"
Xu Yan slapped the table hard with a loud noise. He suddenly stood up from his seat, and his words were full of interrogation.
Song Ge stopped her action. She slowly raised her head and quietly looked into Xu Yan's blood - red eyes.
"Mr. Xu, I'm a woman who values her life."
Xu Yan swayed a bit. He regained some of his rationality - yes, this woman was now in his hands.
"Moreover, I'm going to be the woman of the strongest man. A man like Zhai Cheng, who has no sense of romance, is so boring."
Song Ge proudly raised her head. Her calm and clear eyes were like a deep pool, and her cold and clear tone was a bit like a fox.
Xu Yan looked at Song Ge. There was a different kind of aura about this woman. Maybe she could really help him achieve his goal.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan was a bit tempted. His angry emotions wavered a bit, and a thoughtful expression replaced his anger.
It seemed that he was tempted.
Song Ge lowered her eyes to hide the complex emotions in the bottom of her eyes. Her slender fingers tapped on her knee absent - mindedly. She patiently waited for Xu Yan's next move.
