Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Don’t Waste a Bad Woman
He didn’t reply right away.
Instead, he tapped [Contacts] -> [New Friends] to check.
He found that Pan Kejia’s friend request had been accepted along with those from his classmates.
Chen Mo finally understood how she had added him.
"Need something?"
Chen Mo replied with two words.
He had a vague impression of Pan Kejia.
He’d run into her at Disney with Zheng Xiaoxiao.
She was about 168cm tall, very attractive, and had a great figure.
She definitely wasn’t on Xia Shiqing’s level, of course.
But in real life, she was definitely a great beauty with plenty of suitors.
It was just that he didn’t know her at all, and they had no connection.
’Why is she looking for me?’
A minute later, she sent a voice message.
Sixty seconds long.
He frowned the moment he saw the 60-second-long voice message.
Too lazy to listen, he tapped "Transcribe to Text."
"Hi Chen Mo, this is Pan Kejia. I just saw that you accepted my friend request. There’s something I want to tell you."
"That day at Disney when Xiaoxiao and I ran into you and Minister Xia, we kept our mouths shut and didn’t tell a soul about your relationship."
"But later, when I was getting coffee at the office, I was chatting with a coworker and accidentally let it slip. I unintentionally mentioned you and Minister Xia."
"Afterward, I repeatedly told my coworker not to tell anyone else, but she did anyway, and soon the whole company found out."
After reading it, a flash of understanding crossed Chen Mo’s eyes.
’No wonder the people from Xihe commented about his relationship with Xia Shiqing on that Friends Circle post about the 911.’
At the time, he’d wondered how the Xihe staff knew.
’So it was Pan Kejia who spread it at the company.’
BZZZ BZZZ~
Just then, Pan Kejia sent another 60-second voice message. Once again, he transcribed it to text.
"Minister Xia was furious when she found out. She called me into her office and gave me a lecture. It seems like she’s really angry that your relationship was made public."
"Although, I personally think if you’re in a relationship, you should make it official and go public. Especially if you’re dating a top-tier guy like you—handsome and from a good family. If it were me, I would definitely make it public."
"But Minister Xia might have her reasons, or maybe she has some concerns, thinking that people knowing she’s dating would affect her somehow."
"Actually, I’ve been wanting to apologize to Minister Xia, but she’s so angry about it being public that she won’t even talk to me. So I was hoping to apologize to you in person. Please, you have to give me this chance to apologize."
After reading the two 60-second-long voice messages she’d sent, Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed.
’Why does she seem so... "green tea"?’
She was clearly the one who had let the secret out.
But in the end, she’d shifted all the blame onto her coworker.
Making herself out to be some innocent white lotus.
And on one hand, she was saying she thought relationships should be made public.
She even said that if *she* were dating Chen Mo, she would definitely tell everyone.
At the same time, she stressed how angry Xia Shiqing was that the relationship was now public.
Then, on the other hand, she was feigning sympathy and making excuses for Xia Shiqing.
Saying she might have her reasons, that going public could affect her, and so on.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
The ’green tea’ aroma was just too strong.
’You couldn’t brew tea this strong without using leaves from a century-old tree.’
’What is she trying to do?’
’Is she trying to sow discord between him and Xia Shiqing?’
’But she has no idea what the real situation is.’
’There are no feelings between him and Xia Shiqing!’
’Isn’t she just stirring up trouble for nothing?’
"Oh, so you’re the one who said it. Then you got yelled at? Serves you right!"
Chen Mo sneered and typed out his reply.
He was always direct with "green tea" types, never one to mince words.
「Xihe.」
"BANG!"
Seeing Chen Mo’s message, Pan Kejia, who was pouring coffee in the breakroom, angrily slammed her mug down on the counter.
She gritted her teeth, her pretty face flushing red with anger.
A blush that even her foundation couldn’t hide.
’Fine, just fine. So that damned couple is ganging up on me, is that it?’
Seeing Chen Mo’s "serves you right" really made Pan Kejia lose her composure.
’So what if he’s handsome and has a powerful family? Does that make him so great?’
’How can he be so harsh?’
For a moment, she wanted to block and delete Chen Mo, but then she remembered she hadn’t achieved her goal yet.
She could only force herself to swallow her anger.
She felt that Chen Mo was a bit difficult to handle; it seemed her usual tricks weren’t working on him.
’Looks like I’ll have to bring out the big guns.’
She thought for a moment, then started typing.
"I know that no matter who spread it later, it started with me. That’s my fault."
"I don’t blame Minister Xia for yelling at me, and I know I deserved to be scolded."
"It’s precisely because I’ve realized my mistake that I want to apologize to you in person."
"Even though some time has passed, I still feel guilty all the time. I was just crying on the rooftop a moment ago."
After typing and sending her message, she found a full-body photo she had taken in the elevator today in her album.
She tapped "Send Original Image" and sent it to Chen Mo.
"DING~"
Chen Mo’s phone chimed. He picked it up and saw it was a reply from Pan Kejia.
He ignored all the "green tea" nonsense at the beginning.
His gaze focused on the photo Pan Kejia had sent after her message.
’Well now, she’s pulling out her best moves.’
She wore a navy blue OL suit with a white shirt underneath. Her company ID hung from her chest, and one could faintly make out her ample bosom.
Her long, straight, beautiful legs were clad in black stockings under the skirt, and she wore a pair of small black high heels.
Her body was leaning slightly against the elevator door, her left leg raised in a flirtatious manner.
It looked like a simple photo, but it was actually full of little tricks.
’Just looking at the photo, where is there even a trace of guilt?’
’There’s no sign she’d been crying, either.’
But none of that was important.
The girl had already struck a flirtatious pose, raised her leg, and sent him a photo of herself in stockings.
There was no need to get hung up on such minor details; he wasn’t that petty.
’But what was her purpose in sending him this photo?’
’Was she trying to seduce him on purpose?’
’Or did she want to go against Xia Shiqing?’
’Or maybe she had some other goal?’
"Pan Kejia contacted me. What’s her deal? Do you know?"
Too lazy to guess, Chen Mo sent a message directly to Zheng Xiaoxiao.
He and Zheng Xiaoxiao had gotten along okay during his internship.
Zheng Xiaoxiao had been with Pan Kejia at Disney when they ran into them, so she should know something about her.
"She probably knows you have a good background and is interested in you, and at the same time wants to get revenge on Minister Xia."
Zheng Xiaoxiao guessed that Chen Mo’s background was not simple and wanted to get on his good side, so she directly told him what Pan Kejia was thinking.
As for Pan Kejia?
’Fake friends. We’re not even that close.’
"How do you guys know about my background?"
Chen Mo asked curiously.
Previously, people from Xihe had commented that he had a good background under his Friends Circle post about his new car.
And just now, Pan Kejia had also said he had a good background.
He was the only one who didn’t know what kind of background he supposedly had.
"We guessed. Otherwise, you and Minister Xia..."
After reading Zheng Xiaoxiao’s reply, he finally understood what was going on.
’So it was all just something Zheng Xiaoxiao and Pan Kejia made up in their own heads.’
But he didn’t explain. He’d just let them think that.
"OK, thanks."
"You’re welcome. I’ll unsend it now."
After seeing Chen Mo’s reply, she immediately unsent the message.
After Zheng Xiaoxiao told him about Pan Kejia’s intentions, he basically had the full picture.
"You know, she’s a bit straightforward and her words can be harsh, but she doesn’t mean any harm."
"However, what you did was definitely wrong."
A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Mo’s face as he started to play games with her.
"I know Minister Xia didn’t mean any harm, and I also know that what I did was wrong."
"But Minister Xia won’t talk to me, so I can only apologize to you."
"Are you free tonight? I’d like to treat you to dinner. Please give me a chance to apologize in person!"
Pan Kejia replied quickly, sending an invitation.
She saw that Chen Mo’s attitude had changed and immediately seized the opportunity to invite him out.
"Alright, then. Seeing as you’re so sincere, send me the location tonight."
Chen Mo typed his reply, his tone sounding as if he’d been moved by her sincerity.
"Oh, and by the way, next time you can skip that long string of ’green tea’ talk."
"Just send the photo directly."
As if remembering something, Chen Mo gave her a "well-intentioned" reminder.
He put down his phone and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
He’d heard an old saying before.
Don’t let a good girl down, and don’t let a bad girl go to waste.
As a frugal person, he felt that waste was shameful!
Therefore, he had no intention of being wasteful.
