Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 513 Falling into a trap

Yan Zuozuo's eyes dimmed: "This matter is decided, there's no need to mention it again."

"Director..."

"Alright, senior sister, why didn't you tell me about the selection beforehand? I agree with the director's opinion. Mrs. Chu is indeed not suitable. We at Fan Hua Design shouldn't take any risks lightly. Let's listen to the editor-in-chief."

Lucy pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Ten minutes later, Song Yutong and Lucy came out of the office. Seeing Lucy's unconvinced look, Song Yutong sighed and said, "Senior sister, you haven't been in the country for long. There are some people and some things you shouldn't provoke. Let's forget about Madam Chu and find someone else." After saying that, she patted Lucy's shoulder and turned to leave.

Lucy narrowed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. She had already tested the waters; Yan Zuozuo indeed had a grudge against Madam Chu. However, the more this was the case, the more she needed to contact Madam Chu.

She turned around, about to walk towards her office, when she inadvertently glanced to the side and saw Ding Le making coffee in the break room. A calculating glint flashed in her eyes as she walked up behind Ding Le. "Miss Ding, making coffee?"

"Mmm." Ding Le turned around; she didn't really like this woman.

"I've heard that Miss Ding is very skilled. I happen to be interested in this area as well. I'd like to ask her for advice when I have time."

"You flatter me," Ding Le said in a neutral tone.

Lucy stood beside her with a smile, leaning slightly forward. "I heard that Miss Ding even covered for Director Yan to avoid a gunshot wound. She's quite skilled. Miss Ding, could you have been in the military?"

Ding Le's eyes flickered: "I'm not close enough with you to ask each other about each other's backgrounds. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. Make way."

The tea room wasn't very big, and with Lucy standing there, Ding Le couldn't easily get in or out.

Lucy shrugged and suddenly said, "It's obvious that Miss Ding and that quiet gentleman have a good relationship. I still don't know his name. You all call him Fox. Is his surname Hu?"

Ding Le narrowed his eyes: "What are you trying to say?"

"Don't be so nervous, it's just a casual chat."

Ding Le gave a cold laugh: "I don't like casual conversation, move aside."

"Hey? Don't be so heartless. We've been colleagues for a while now. To be honest, I really like Fox. She's good-looking, has a good grip, and most importantly, she has that figure..."

"Shut up!" Ding Le was furious. This woman had become a mistress and was still trying to seduce other men. Did she have no shame?

Lucy clicked her tongue twice. "So angry, huh? Seriously, Miss Ding, you wouldn't happen to have fantasies about foxes too, would you? But..." She gave Ding Le a disdainful once-over, then sneered, "Women should be gentler and more alluring, otherwise, no matter how hot their figure is, they won't attract men. Or perhaps..."

"What?" Ding Le gritted his teeth.

Lucy sighed and said, "I just saw a news article on Dianping not long ago, about a 'muscle Barbie,' haha. Miss Ding has such great hands, could her figure be like that too? No wonder men don't like her."

"Woman, watch your words!" Hearing Lucy humiliate her like that, even though Ding Le was a carefree woman who didn't care about her figure, she couldn't help but get angry. "Whether I'm a muscular Barbie or not is not important. What's important is not to be so shameless. Being a mistress and still thinking about seducing other men, that's what it means to be shameless and invincible."

"You!" Lucy was insulted, but her eyes darted around and she smiled again. "That's still better than being completely unattractive to men, Miss Ding. Tell me, between you and me, who would the fox choose?"

"What do you want to do?"

“Nothing much.” Lucy raised an eyebrow. “I just really like the fox. We Western women aren’t as hypocritical as you Eastern women, liking someone but not daring to say it. I like the fox, so naturally I want to… have him!”

"You!" Ding Le's eyes widened in anger. She finally saw through this woman; she was shameless and despicable, relying solely on her good looks. A scorpion in human skin, utterly shameless! "If you want to seduce a fox, the fox has to be interested in you. A woman like you, who sleeps with anyone, wouldn't even be wanted by a fox for free!"

“How will you know if you don’t try?” Lucy paused. “Some people can’t get what they want even if they’re together every day, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get it. Miss Ding, don’t regret getting involved later, that would be very low.”

"Who are you calling a jerk?" Ding Le was furious, having never seen such a shameless woman. "I'm warning you, you'd better not mess with that fox, or I won't let you off the hook!"

"Hmph." Lucy snorted coldly, "If you can't have it yourself, you'll resort to tricks to prevent others from having it. You're always clinging to a man who doesn't like you, and you still have the nerve to call others shameless. I think you're the most shameless one."

Unexpectedly, Lucy actually scolded her, and Ding Le's eyes widened in anger.

Lucy didn't back down at all; instead, she continued to smile sinisterly, "I just love men like foxes—they have amazing bodies, they're stylish and manly, and they'd definitely be great in bed. Don't worry, we'll be a perfect match, and you'll be all..."

"Snapped!"

A sharp slap rang out, interrupting Lucy's words. She covered her swollen face with her hand, incredulous: "You...you dare hit me?"

"Watch your mouth! If you keep spewing stench, I'll hit you!"

Lucy glanced at the brewed coffee, narrowed her eyes, and leisurely walked over to take a cup. This action left Ding Le somewhat dumbfounded; this woman wasn't one to be bullied, but her reaction was rather strange.

She was still furious and had no time to think about anything else; she turned to leave...

"Ouch, it's so hot!" Ding Le turned around and saw Lucy pouring scalding hot coffee on her. The burning sensation spread through her body in an instant. "You bad woman!" she said, rushing forward to slap Lucy again.

However, Lucy reached out and blocked it, smashing the coffee cup to the ground, where it shattered into pieces.

"You're too green to mess with me. Just wait and see how I turn the tables on this fox..."

"Shut up!" Unable to contain his anger any longer, Ding Le slapped Lucy hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap rang out, and as blood trickled from the corner of Lucy's mouth, her Lanmu flashed a strange smile, rolled her eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

"Oh my god, Lucy!" The door to the break room had been opened at some point, and everyone stared in disbelief at Ding Le, who had taken action.

Song Yutong rushed in and helped Lucy up from the ground. "Senior sister, senior sister, what happened to you?"

Lucy slightly opened her eyes, looking utterly helpless and vulnerable: "I... I accidentally spilled the coffee... She... hit me..."

Song Yutong's eyes darkened, and she turned to look at Ding Le, her tone exceptionally stern, "Ding Le, my senior sister didn't do it on purpose, did you have to resort to violence?"

Meeting Song Yutong's angry gaze, Ding Le finally came to his senses.

Lucy did it on purpose!

He deliberately provoked her anger with his words, his ultimate goal being to get her to take action. And damn it, she actually did!

Faced with Song Yutong's questioning, Ding Le was speechless.

She hadn't quite figured out Lucy's purpose yet, but the thought that Yan Zuozuo might get angry and possibly kick her out made her panic. "She insulted me, said some really nasty things, I..."

"Enough! Can't you come up with a convincing reason?" Song Yutong helped Lucy up and said angrily, "No matter what, hitting someone is wrong. So many people saw it, and you not only don't apologize, but you're also making up excuses. It's really disappointing."

Noticing that something was wrong with Lucy, Song Yutong quickly looked at her and exclaimed in shock, "Call a doctor! Quickly call a doctor! Senior sister has fainted!"

in the hospital.

Ding Le kept explaining, "Sister-in-law, it really was her who cursed at me, and said some very hurtful things... It was my fault, I shouldn't have hit her..."

Faced with the angry Yan Zuozuo, she panicked even more and was almost ready to kneel down and beg for her forgiveness.

Yan Zuozuo knew Ding Le's personality very well; she would never have acted unless there was a reason. But the problem was, no one saw Lucy provoke her; they only saw Ding Le make the move.

"Ding Le, I told you on your first day here not to be impulsive, and to follow the rules here, do you remember?"

Ding Le was speechless, biting her lower lip tightly.

“If you’ve been wronged, you can tell me and I’ll help you get justice. But now that you’ve resorted to violence, even if you’re in the right, others will only see that you’re not standing up for yourself.” Yan Zuozuo had a headache.

“Sister-in-law…” Ding Le looked at her in a panic, his eyes filled with anxiety, “It’s my fault, it’s all my fault… Sister-in-law, please don’t despise me, you can punish me, anything you want…”

My heart suddenly clenched.

Putting aside the fact that Ding Le was Chi Moqing's bodyguard and that she had grown to like Ding Le's personality over the years, she couldn't pretend that Ding Le hadn't happened, even if she was fiercely protective of her own.

Moreover, Lucy is Song Yutong's senior, so no matter what, she has to give her some face. If she doesn't handle this situation well, it could create a rift between her and Song Yutong, and what will the rest of the company think of her? If a director doesn't set a good example, how can she expect employees to follow the rules and regulations?

Moreover, Ding Le's incident has had a terrible impact. Even if she protects her, she will probably suffer grievances at the company in the future.

Thinking of this, Yan Zuozuo looked at the pitiful Ding Le in front of her and made a decision.

"Ding Le, go in and apologize to Lucy now."

"Apologize?" Ding Le's eyes widened. Lucy was the one who insulted her first, so why should she apologize?

Seeing Ding Le's dissatisfaction, Yan Zuozuo knew this was putting her in a difficult position. Actually, she believed in Ding Le, but the current situation was that everyone only saw Ding Le hitting someone, and no one saw that Lucy was in the wrong first.

"Shouldn't you apologize if you hit someone?"

Ding Le bit her lip. It's just an apology, she'll do it!

In the ward, Lucy's face was already covered with medicine. She had just been discharged from the hospital, but now she was back in. Her pitiful appearance really made people want to protect her.

Song Yutong sat down in front of her, her brows furrowed. Seeing Yan Zuozuo enter, she stood up and said respectfully, "Director, Senior Sister's injury has been treated. She just needs to rest for a day or two, so don't worry."

Yan Zuozuo looked at Lucy, and seeing that she wanted to speak, she stopped her with a gesture, "There's no need to say anything. I'll bring Ding Le over to apologize to you."

Receiving Yan Zuozuo's hint, Ding Le reluctantly walked up to Lucy. "It was wrong of me to hit you today, and it won't happen again. But you were the one who insulted me first. Heaven is watching what people do, so you'd better watch yourself."

Yan Zuozuo frowned. Is this what you call an apology?

However, she knew very well that Ding Le was probably the victim, and she was not easy to get over.
