Mute Beauty

Chapter 74: Obsession

The sudden work was due to a high-level executive from Su Nian's side whose birthday happened to be today. The company decided at the last minute to throw a birthday party for him, and naturally, Yu Ting had to be present to show that he was valued.

Dressed in a complex evening gown, she met Su Nian again at the venue.

Su Nian moved through the business world with an almost devilish ease, flattering everyone with a smile, her words often laced with lies.

However, it seemed that just as she claimed, she didn't intend to do anything to Yu Ting. She was simply bored and lonely, wanting to chat with her since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, teasing her just like before, carefree and light-hearted.

After having a drink mixed by Yu Ting last night, seeing Yu Ting genuinely anxious and looking quite upset, she laughed and let her go, turning to smile at the young singer in the bar until late into the night.

When they met today, she still wore a cheerful smile, even a rather smug one, feigning concern while actually teasing Yu Ting about whether her urgent matter from last night had been resolved.

Because of the ruckus caused by Su Nian the previous night, and now being forced to attend this banquet, plus not receiving any replies to the messages she had sent to Ran Ling all afternoon, Yu Ting couldn't help but feel annoyed, directing her frustration towards Su Nian and giving her a cold shoulder.

Maintaining a two-person distance in their conversation, she coldly told her, "Don't invite me out again."

"Oh, sure~" Su Nian readily agreed, then smiled brightly, "Your 'hear' is quite interesting; I've already made some acquaintances, and next time I can go by myself. I've even added several girls on WeChat," she said, seemingly bragging.

"Let's hope so."

Seeing her like this, Su Nian disdainfully remarked, "Look at you! It's so unseemly to show such impatience at a fine banquet. President Yu, even if you're angry with me, you should know how to play along."

"It's hard to be patient with you."

"Fine, I'm just reminding you. Since you have such a problem with me, anything I say will just annoy you more." Suddenly, she seemed to realize this, acting as if she was going to step away. Yu Ting called her back, "What about what you promised me yesterday?"

Su Nian halted, letting out a little "Oh" as she turned to look at her. "Isn't it because you rushed out yesterday that I forgot?"

"I'll send it to your email tonight, but don't get your hopes up too high. I only have a tiny bit of information; you'll have to investigate the rest yourself."

"As for the collaboration bonus, all I can do is help you a little bit."

She grinned, gesturing with her hand to indicate "a little bit."

The banquet continued until late at night. The next morning, Yu Ting indeed found the "collaboration bonus" that Su Nian had sent in her email.

—The criminal activities of Yu Hao.

Yu Ting had known for a long time that aside from his work at the Yu Corporation, Yu Hao also ran his own private business. She had suspected he wasn't clean and had been investigating him since returning home, but hadn't managed to find solid evidence.

Unexpectedly, Su Nian had sent her a photo of Yu Hao secretly meeting with a government official.

Su Nian: [Caught it by chance.]

Su Nian: [Three years ago, while you were still abroad, Yu Hao got drunk and in a fit of rage, ran over someone.]

Su Nian also included the deceased's identity information: [I don't have any evidence; you'll have to check the details yourself.]
