Chapter 1151 - He Actually Likes Her This Much... (7) (1/2)

So now, what Qiao Lian needed to do was to provoke Qiao Yiyi.

Although she felt it was an extremely meaningless undertaking.

Seeing that Qiao Yiyi had left, her expression softened as she walked to the side and sat down quietly.

Shortly after this, she heard gossip.

“Hey, have you guys heard? It’s frightening up there in the penthouse!”

“What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Lu is furious.”

“Isn’t Director Lu always furious?”

“What do you know? Director Lu seldom beams with joy. Normally, if you make a mistake, he doesn’t say much, but this time he blew his top in his penthouse office. Now everyone upstairs is nervous as hell, afraid of even speaking.”

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank at once as she paid attention to the people talking.

“What’s the matter? What happened that made Director Lu rush into the office so early in the morning?”

“That’s right. Isn’t Director Lu feeling unwell?”

One of them looked around cautiously before saying in a low voice, “My aunt’s cousin’s niece works in the secretary’s department in the penthouse. I’ve just sneaked upstairs to ask. Guess what?”

“Someone broke into the penthouse and something got stolen!”

At those words, everyone in the room sucked in their breath sharply.

“Damn! Is that true?”

“That’s right, it can’t possibly be. That’s the penthouse! How did that happen?”

“Inconceivable, isn’t it? Let me tell you something even more inconceivable! Actually, they don’t know when the break-in happened. It’s only that this morning, when the assistant went in to do some cleaning, he noted the safe behind a picture had been opened by someone.”

Sitting in a corner, Qiao Lian’s head snapped up when she heard this. She looked in their direction in disbelief.
