Peng Shiyi wailed and sobbed as she rushed straight past Yan Xia into Fang Jiangyi's arms.
Yan Xia watched coldly. This stupid woman really exemplified the phrase "the guilty party files the first lawsuit" to perfection.
Fang Jiangyi slightly raised his hand. He neither stopped Peng Shiyi's action nor hugged her. He frowned, seemingly quickly understanding the situation in front of him.
"Brother Jiangyi, as soon as she came to my office, she started causing a ruckus. She moved my documents and even hit me. Look at my face. Am I going to be disfigured..." Peng Shiyi cried tearfully.
Yan Xia exhaled a faint breath of turbid air. She ignored Fang Jiangyi's gaze. "If I were you, I'd admit my mistake right now instead of continuing to distort the truth, so as not to be too embarrassed when the truth is revealed."
Peng Shiyi was relentless. "You're the one talking nonsense. Brother Jiangyi, you have to believe me."
The two stuck to their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
Fang Jiangyi's expression showed no sign of joy or anger. "Ms. Lu, don't you intend to give an explanation?"
In the past, Yan Xia always thought Fang Jiangyi was a smart man. How could his IQ regress to such an extent now?
She didn't want to stay with such a brainless person for a single second. So she just waved her phone and smiled. "Let the court decide what really happened. Also, I hope Ms. Peng will replenish the original goods as soon as possible. I believe Mr. Fang doesn't want to delay the project progress of Shengshi either."
She stepped aside to leave. When passing by Fang Jiangyi, he suddenly reached out to grab her wrist. Yan Xia felt disgusted and slapped his hand away with a snap, glaring at him angrily.
Peng Shiyi gave a signal with her eyes. The lackey beside her also seized the opportunity to step forward and grab Yan Xia's phone. But Yan Xia dodged to the side. The next second, she kicked the lackey hard in the waist, and the lackey crashed into the glass beside the corridor.
Yan Xia was extremely impatient. "What does Ms. Peng mean? Is this your way of hosting guests? You've attacked me again and again. Do you want me to make the evidence I have public right now?"
Peng Shiyi nervously looked at Fang Jiangyi.
No one stopped her anymore. Yan Xia walked out of the Huahui Wood Industry building unimpeded.
After Yan Xia left, Fang Jiangyi pulled Peng Shiyi into the office, closed the door, and looked at her askance.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Peng Shiyi didn't dare to look at him. "It's just as I said just now. Look, my face was scratched by her. She even said she wanted to compete with me for you. She said such a thing so boldly. How could she do this? Brother Jiangyi, I don't want to see her stay by your side. Will you fire her..."
Fang Jiangyi rubbed his temples. "If you didn't have a handle in her hands, would you have let it go so easily just now? What on earth happened? What did you say to her?"
He wasn't a fool. Peng Shiyi's petty tricks could be seen through by anyone with a bit of sense.
Peng Shiyi bit her lower lip. "Well... She said there was a problem with a batch of goods we sent and asked me to replenish them. She said if I didn't, she would ask for a refund. She also said she wanted to compete with me for you..."
Fang Jiangyi kept looking at her. His dark eyes were extremely intimidating, and Peng Shiyi fell silent.
Perhaps sensing that Fang Jiangyi was really angry, she hesitated for a while and finally said, "I deliberately withheld a batch of first - class products and filled the order with defective products and sent them to her. That's why she came to make a scene. But it was really because her attitude was so arrogant. I..."
"I've told you not to provoke her again, and never play games with the company's projects." Fang Jiangyi interrupted her.
Peng Shiyi was completely speechless. She originally just wanted to play a small joke to put Lu Sheng in her place. She didn't expect to be outwitted instead. What was important was that now even Fang Jiangyi was on Lu Sheng's side.
"Lu Sheng won't really sue me, will she... She secretly recorded my admission of swapping the goods just now."
Fang Jiangyi raised his eyebrows. "Now you know to be afraid. Why didn't you consider the consequences when you did these things?"
Peng Shiyi was almost crying with anger. "I didn't do it on purpose. It was her who always provoked me. She knew you were my boyfriend but still said those things. She's not a good person at all. Brother Jiangyi, don't be deceived by her."
She regretted it so much now. If time could turn back, she would never want to see this unlucky woman.
Fang Jiangyi became even more impatient. He didn't want to deal with this mess at all. If he hadn't promised his mother and considered her situation, he wouldn't have stayed for a single extra second.
"Mind your own business and don't provoke Lu Sheng again." Fang Jiangyi looked down at his watch. "I'll explain today's situation to your father. Later, you go and apologize to Lu Sheng in person and ask for her forgiveness."
Peng Shiyi was both angry and anxious and immediately blew up. "I'm not going to apologize to her."
Fang Jiangyi looked at her with a hopeless look. After a while, he turned around and left.
Yan Xia didn't really intend to sue Peng Shiyi. She just said that to scare her. Fortunately, this show had an effect. On the same day, Peng Shiyi obediently replenished the goods. And someone from Huahui Wood Industry called to plead, hoping that Yan Xia would be lenient and not make a big deal out of it.
Yan Xia ignored all of them, but pretended to ask a lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to Peng Shiyi. Then she turned off her phone, cut off all contact, and went home from work feeling relaxed.
She was in an extremely good mood today. She cooked a simple Western meal for herself and poured a glass of red wine, ready to have dinner.
