CEO's Substitute Bride

Niu Juan smiled and shook her head, looking at Wu Jingchen's probing eyes, "Don't think too much. Ye means, Xia and President Pei have a child as a bond, it won't be that easy to get a divorce, so we shouldn't worry too much."    

    

"But no one can say for sure about matters of the heart. Furthermore, there have been some problems between them recently, so we don't know how to explain it to you, so it's better to not say anything at all. As friends in the summer, we will help her when she needs it, but we definitely won't interfere in any of her decisions.    

    

Thinking about her plan with Pei Yichen in the summer, Niu Juan added, "Ye, as a friend in the summer, of course the godmother doesn't want to divorce in the summer, so you just have to listen to these."    

    

Wu Jingchen nodded her head hesitantly. What Niu Juan said made a lot of sense, and it was also perfect. It was so perfect that no one could find a single flaw in it.    

    

Leaves, who was at the side, covered her mouth and nodded. She finally let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, Juan'er had helped her make the round. Otherwise, she would have really let down the summer.    

    

Although Jingchen would be fine if she found out about it, since he had told her not to let anyone know about it in the summer, he should keep his mouth shut. He had to be more careful with his words in the future!    

    

"That's what I meant. Don't think too much about it. Jingchenli, eat more dumplings. My celery meat is also very delicious."    

    

Leaves stiffly changed the topic as she dialed a few dumplings on her plate to Wu Jingchen. She didn't forget to give Niu Juan a grateful look when she turned around.    

    

Having a friend with such a high EQ like Niu Juan could sometimes be a type of enjoyment. No matter what she did, Niu Juan could easily dispel it.    

    

Wu Jingchen laughed, "Mhm mhm, come, Sister Ye, try my leek and egg. It's really delicious. We must let Elder Sister Xia Tian have a taste of it some other day. This dumpling restaurant is really good."    

    

The three of them chatted and laughed as if everything that had happened just now had never happened. As they chatted and laughed, they completely forgot about the unpleasant incident that had just occurred.    

    

However, the moment Wu Jingchen lowered her head, she couldn't help but frown. She didn't understand what was going on between Pei Yichen and her during the summer, nor did she know whether he was going to get a divorce or not. Rumors were flying everywhere now.    

    

She really hoped that this matter would be resolved earlier in the summer. That way, she would be able to recover from such an awkward situation.    

    

"What has An An been doing these past few days?" Which one of you knows? "    

    

Niu Juan looked at Leaves and Wu Jingchen as she drank the noodle soup. It seemed that it had been several days since they last saw An Xi. The usually lively An An was no longer speaking in the group, as if she had suddenly disappeared.    

    

"Sister Juan, there's something I don't know if I should say. One day, when we were looking at the blueprints, An An and Yu Xi walked very close to each other, and I heard them say something about not monitoring us. However, when I wanted to go closer and listen more carefully, they wouldn't say anything. I was thinking, maybe I was overthinking …"    

    

Leaves chopsticks slammed down on the table, "This An An, it's fine if you are infatuated with flowers, but why are you infatuated with Yu Xi now? Don't you know that Yu Xi and Yu Hong are not good people?"    

    

Thinking about the relationship between Yu Xi and Yu Hong who planned to leave Pei Yichen for the summer, she felt a nameless anger in her stomach, wanting to vent it out!    

    

Niu Juan frowned. "When and where?" Who was there? "    

    

Glimmers danced in Wu Jingchen's eyes. She felt wronged as tears welled up in her eyes. "Sister Juan, do you not believe me?"    

    

Seeing how wronged Wu Jingchen was, Leaves pushed Niu Juan aside and said, "Juan'er, please don't be like this. Jingchen is definitely better than An An. Is it even better than being an incomparable existence?"    

    

Thinking of An An's pretentious appearance, Leaves felt as if she had goosebumps all over her body. She felt completely disheartened!    

    

Wu Jingchen, on the other hand, had a carefree personality and would never wrongly accuse anyone. She was just like him, daring to take responsibility. She didn't have so many useless things to worry about!    

    

Niu Juan smiled helplessly. "What doubts do you have? I just want to know more clearly."    

    

Niu Juan smiled as she lowered her head to pick up the dumplings and put them into her mouth. There were some things that she didn't want to say too much about, but there were also times when she truly felt that Wu Jingchen was too against An An.    

    

At the very least, she had never heard An An's malicious remarks about Wu Jingchen in private. The two of them were at odds with each other, so it was completely their business. She could not bring any proper matters up.    

    

Wu Jingchen's words today would make them alienate An An even more. After a while, An An would leave the team, but she discovered that An An seemed to not be as ignorant and infatuated as she appeared on the surface.    

    

Niu Juan had been an HR Director for many years, so she naturally had her own ways of dealing with people. What she was best at was to look at the essence of these two people through their appearance.    

    

Wu Jingchen didn't know why, but she suddenly panicked when she met Niu Juan's probing gaze. She didn't know why, but she felt that Niu Juan's gaze was too terrifying.    

    

The look in her eyes made her feel as if she had seen through everything. In an instant, all her little thoughts were exposed to the sunlight, leaving her no place to hide!    

    

Wu Jingchen took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. No matter what, she had to maintain her image. If she was too cowardly, she would really despise herself!    

    

Wu Jingchen lowered her head and continued eating the dumplings with the chili sauce. She felt like she had gotten to know Niu Juan for the first time today.    

    

Usually, this woman didn't talk much and always had a faint smile on her face. But every time she said something, her words would hit the nail on the head. That was why she told a lot of things to Niu Juan in the summer.    

    

Compared to Ye Wen, Niu Juan was much more suitable to be a friend. Her words just now were clearly meant for him, but now that he thought about it, each and every one of her sentences seemed to be a reminder to him.    

    

She reminded herself that they didn't need any help during the summer, so she decided to rethink how she would work with them.    

    

They were good friends, no matter what kind of business they were, but he, wasn't!
