I Became the Best Forensic Doctor After My Betrayal-Chapter 261 - After-Meal Interlude

261 After-Meal Interlude

Zhong Xin looked at their inquisitive expressions and knew that if he did not explain this matter clearly to them, if word got out and unfortunately reached the President’s ears, he would have to pack up and leave.

Zhong Xin coughed softly in the face of the eager and inquisitive gazes of the young ladies. He said, “President Lian is still eating with Miss Shen upstairs. I have to leave. Although Shen Luo is Miss Shen’s sister, he is still scrupulous about separating his work and private life. You must not let anyone into the office for no reason. This is the President’s usual rule. You know that.”

The young ladies nodded repeatedly. Zhong Xin had already explained it so clearly. Of course they understood.

It was obvious who was the favored sister. Miss Shen, who was having lunch with President Lian upstairs, was their lady boss!

The young lady at the front desk, who had let the wrong person go upstairs, was instantly grateful to Zhong Xin. If he had not helped her cover up just now, she would have violated the President’s rules of letting an unauthorized person go upstairs. If the President found out, she would not be able to keep this job that everyone envied!

Zhong Xin looked at their enlightened expressions in satisfaction. He turned around expressionlessly and walked into the elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed, Zhong Xin, who had been putting on a serious expression, completely relaxed. He raised his wrist to look at the time.

He had already been delayed by 20 minutes because of Shen Luo. His scalp tingled when he thought about how the President might have looked for him but failed to find him during this period of time.

He hoped that the beautiful Miss Shen could continue to be kind and not let the President skin him alive!

No matter how nervous he was, the elevator door still opened with a ding.

The entire secretary’s office was quiet. It was lunchtime. Other than the people at the front desk who had to take turns to take their lunch break, the rest had already gone to the canteen or outside to eat.

Looking at the cold lunch on the table, Zhong Xin expressionlessly stuffed the lunch box back into the microwave. While waiting, his eyes would glance uneasily at the tightly shut door of the President’s office.

In the office, Shen Yin had just finished lunch with Lian Jing and was lying lazily on the sofa, listening to Lian Jing talking to someone on the phone.

They were all talking about a contract, which Shen Yin did not care about. Just as she was idly scrolling through her phone, she suddenly heard a sickly sweet female voice over the phone. The woman called out softly, “President Lian.”

Shen Yin instantly put down her phone and sat up straight, staring straight at him.

When the gentle female did not hear a reply, she immediately complained in a coquettish voice, “President Lian, I’m coming back to see you next week. Are you coming to the airport to pick me up?!”

Shen Yin narrowed her eyes dangerously, and her face instantly turned pale and fierce.

Lian Jing saw that she was looking at him hostilely. He chuckled softly and turned on the speaker. He placed the phone in front of Shen Yin and said sternly, “Lian Meng, stop fooling around. Speak properly. Your sister-in-law is here.”

The female voice on the other end of the phone immediately became pleasantly surprised, and her voice returned to its normal tone. “Sister-in-law! Did you miss me? By the way, I heard that I missed your birthday after I left. I specially bought a birthday gift. I’ll definitely make it up to you when I get back!”

When Shen Yin heard Lian Meng’s mischievous voice, she was stunned for a moment. She looked up and met Lian Jing’s half-smile. Her pale face suddenly turned red and hot, and her voice was a little awkward. “Okay, okay. Thank you, Meng Meng. When did you leave last time? I didn’t know you were leaving and didn’t send you off.”

Lian Meng snatched the phone from the man beside her and complained to her gloomily, “Sister-in-law, you don’t know how horrid my brother is. In order to get rid of me, he arranged a project for me overnight and asked me to fly overseas to settle my work before returning!”

Shen Yin could tell how attached Lian Meng was to Old Master Lian. Of course she had been unwilling to go when Lian Jing sent her overseas. When she heard Lian Meng’s complain, she immediately looked up and glared at Lian Jing unhappily.

She comforted Lian Meng on the phone while condemning Lian Jing with her gaze.

Lian Jing sat beside Shen Yin and reached out to pull her into his arms. He explained to her in a slightly aggrieved voice, “Lian Meng returned to China too sudddenly and did not properly settle matters over there. After she left, the company was in a mess and could not operate normally at all. That’s why I had to let her go back and settle her work before coming back.”

The moment Lian Meng heard Lian Jing’s voice, she immediately exploded. She gritted her teeth and growled. “Brother! It’s not as bad as you say! Brother Song can handle it alone!”

On the other end of the phone, the man who had his cell phone snatched away by Lian Meng looked helplessly at the girl beside him.

When Lian Jing had come over for a business trip, he happened to be away on a business trip too, so he did not see him.

When he came back, he had to take over the mess left behind by Lian Meng. Now that it was almost settled, she had come back and reaped the benefits.

But she was the girl he adored.

He had promised to protect her for the rest of her life, so he would not readily abandon her.
