129 CONFESSING EVERYTHING (2/2)
She shook her head inwardly. No, there was no need to stress.
As long as Hu Lei came for help, Hai would have an opportunity. He was a successful and charismatic man with plenty of charm. If he played his cards right, it would not be long before that little annoyance fell for him.
She knew her brother could not compare to Zhong Feng in terms of status. However, everyone knew that that man was incredibly cold. Even when he was being indulgent with Hu Lei, his face still looked icy. On the other hand, her brother had a warm disposition. It would be difficult not to be a little moved.
If her plan succeeded, she would fulfil her promise to her brother to help him. At the same time, she would take away the backing that Hu Lei had protecting her in Supreme. For a man like Zhong Feng, even the implication of infidelity would probably be a deal breaker. After that, dealing with that violent hussy would be easy.
She smiled to herself before holding herself back. She could not celebrate yet.
”Miss Hu, what are you going to do about this?” Beatrice asked with concern in her eyes.
Hu Lei did not look worried. She yawned lightly and rubbed her eyes before placing her laptop aside. She felt like she had wasted hours of her life. She stood up sluggishly and stretched her body like a lazy fat cat.
”I am going to take a nap.” She had not rested well for the last few days because she had been stressing about Ah Feng's absence.
”What about this scandal online? It could damage your real life reputation.” Her assistant pushed on, as if afraid that Hu Lei had not understood her meaning.
Some scandals could leave a lasting impression and ruin the future of good people.
”Don't think too much. There's nothing I can do for now. Responding to the provocation will only make me look guilty. If I deny anything, I will be effectively confessing everything.” She waved her hand casually.
”You could have Bei Gong Hai clarify the matter. From what I can tell, it is his fault that everything has been blown out of proportion.” Beatrice said with a dissatisfied frown.
Hu Lei's eyes flashed with a glint of realisation. However, she did not continue mulling on the issues. These types of matters always came to a conclusion, one way or another. At most, she could wait for another scandal to come and take away the attention.
”There is no need. For now, go to the apartment below this one and have a look. Get a feeling of the space, come up with some ideas and make a shopping list. We will get started tomorrow. You can go home afterwards.” She did not feel like she would have enough strength to do anything more for the rest of the day.
Beatrice sighed and bowed lightly before leaving the penthouse.
