Chapter 322 - It had to be something else

She nagged on for half an hour straight but Yun Xuan didn't find it annoying. She had missed her mother's care and concern a lot.

She didn't tell her mother that she and Tyler were no longer together.

After hanging up the call with her mother, she had the urge to call someone else she really cared about.

…

Wan Jia was on her lunch break when she received the call. Just like Madam Yun, she was shocked to see the person she hadn't seen for months.

Although they had a broken relationship before, the woman on her screen now seemed a lot different.

She looked like she had undergone a range of change and from their conversation; she had found herself a job in Country F. Wan Jia couldn't believe that she had given up on her design brand. But she could understand Yun Xuan. She just said that she had nothing to do with the Yun family; well, that studio was started using General Yun's money.

If it were someone else's studio, Wan Jia would consider buying it over but she didn't want anything to do with the Yun family either.

"Yun Xuan…"

Yun Xuan interrupted her. "Wanwan, shouldn't you be calling me your elder sister?"

Wan Jia bit her lower lip. "I shouldn't."

Yun Xuan sighed. What was she thinking? Why would the heavens make such a kind woman a child of the Yun family? Perhaps their friendship was doomed forever.

"Wanwan,"

"Hmm? What is it?"

Yun Xuan sighed. "It's nothing. Bye." With that, she hung up.

In the office of the president, Lu Enterprises.

Lu Aotian was preparing his best robot, thirty for a mission. It involved recording and copying the content of conversations. He had already informed Wan Jia that he was going to use her phone to test it.

Because she didn't have anything to hide from him, she agreed. In the end, Thirty recorded her conversation with Yun Xuan.

Lu Aotian initially didn't intend to listen to it, but when Thirty reported that it was a conversation between his wife and that woman who had gone missing for a while, his interest was piqued. He was still going to mind his own business despite his curiosity but Lu Shaoting was more curious. He played the recording and his brother didn't stop him.

At the end, they both had question marks on their faces.

"What do you think she was going to tell sister-in-law just now?"

Lu Aotian didn't answer him. He looked calm.

Lu Shaoting knew better than be deceived by his brother's look. While he indeed looked calm, it was merely the calm before a huge storm.

In Lu Aotian's mind, a storm was indeed raging. Just now, Yun Xuan wasn't going to tell Wan Jia about her pregnancy. It had to be something else. And he had a feeling it was something related to them.

Forget it. There was nothing he couldn't find out on his own, unless he just didn't want to know.

In Elite Fashion World, Wan Jia was wondering about the same thing. What was it that Yun Xuan was going to say? If this was at a normal time, she would have passed it off as her trying to reminisce with her and giving up halfway. But this wasn't a normal time.

For some days now, she had been feeling uneasy, as though someone was trying to follow her. She had checked her surroundings many times and seen no one. It made her feel insecure. Now that Yun Xuan acted that way, she began wondering whether she was being followed by Yun Jifeng or his psychopath father. Could it be that Yun Xuan knew it and wanted to warn her just now?

In real sense, she was worrying about nothing. The only person trying to follow her around was Miss Poisonous. She was trying hard to find an opportunity to get close to her and just when she was about to give up, she found one.

Elite Fashion World was hiring secretaries and assistants to replace those that had retired, been fired or resigned recently.

Miss Poisonous found a remarkable resume from who knows where and applied for an interview. She was overjoyed when she was called for an interview on Monday morning.

Finally, she was hopeful about accomplishing her mission. The woman wore a plain white knee length skirt and simple top that was not of her style. She draped a mid-length wig on her head and styled it into twin braids. With her skin mask and huge goggles, even her own grandmother wouldn't recognize her. The tall bold and charming Miss Poisonous was now replaced with a country bumpkin.

"Pfft. White lotus." She laughed at the woman in the mirror. She grabbed her plain-looking satchel and left for Elite Fashion World.

To her delight, the "country bumpkin" version of her passed the interview. She had now been assigned to be Dai Youran's assistant. Her old assistant had resigned to send her ailing mother overseas for treatment. Her mother couldn't be left all alone in a foreign place and she needed a new environment to recuperate.

"Lai Shuangshuang, you are now my new assistant. I don't have many rules but I like everything done fast and on time. Your days off are…" Dai Youran gave her rules in detail, but the girl wasn't listening. "Lai Shuangshuang! Why are you in a daze?"

"Boss, pardon me. I'm listening."

Crap! She wasn't accustomed to her new identity yet. Just now, she had forgotten that she was "Lai Shuangshuang".
