Chapter 1316: Chapter 1317: Gossip
With one question, Qin Feimo’s heart shook, and he stared at Ma Pianpian for a long time without speaking.
Does he still love Ma Qianqian?
Suddenly, Feng Jinglei’s striking and unique face flashed through his mind, leaving him inexplicably stunned.
"Brother Feimo?"
Seeing his silence, Ma Pianpian seemed a little anxious, her focused gaze fixed on him, as if impatient to know his answer.
Qin Feimo came back to his senses, his deep, narrow eyes resting on her face for a moment, quickly retracting his gaze.
"Go have lunch, I have matters to attend to, I’m leaving first."
He didn’t answer, instead got up, picked up his coat and car keys, seemingly ready to go out.
"Brother Feimo." Ma Pianpian suddenly stood up.
Qin Feimo paused, only showing her extra care because she is Ma Qianqian’s sister.
"That Feng Jinglei, she’s not really your cousin, is she?"
The unexpected question made Qin Feimo frown slightly, staring at her, "Why do you ask this?"
"This M Group is yours, if she’s really your cousin, how could her position be just a finance department supervisor’s assistant?"
Qin Feimo’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Finance assistant?"
Ma Pianpian furrowed her brows in surprise, "You didn’t know? Your so-called cousin is our finance department manager’s assistant."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feimo’s deep eyes furrowed even more.
His mind flashed back to the morning when he sent Feng Jinglei here; she got off the bus not far from M Group. Was it because she worked at M Group and didn’t want him to know, so she chose to get off at the bus stop?
"You didn’t know Jinglei works at M Group?" Seeing his lightly furrowed brow, Ma Pianpian seemed to grasp something.
His gaze lifted lightly, glancing at Ma Pianpian, his sensual thin lips slowly parted, his voice deep, "I know."
After answering, Qin Feimo turned away, disregarding Ma Pianpian.
Seeing him leave, Ma Pianpian naturally had no reason to stay; she stood up, watched his departing figure, her expression thoughtful.
In his heart, who truly resides now? Her deceased sister, or the ’distant cousin’ he mentioned?
Her fingers on her side moved slightly, Ma Pianpian’s eyes turning somewhat unreadable.
.
After lunch, some employees in the finance department took advantage of the lunch break to go out. Of course, some stayed in the break room, sipping tea while chatting about gossip.
Feng Jinglei was no exception; having finished her meal and feeling thirsty, she took a ceramic cup and headed to the tea room, pouring herself some hot water.
Just as she was about to leave the tea room, she overheard a group of female employees sitting by the window, talking about gossip.
"Hey, have you heard? The new Ma Pianpian from our department has reportedly gone to the top floor."
"Top floor, did the big boss let her go up?"
"I don’t know, but she’s said to be a sister to an employee from the design department, and they look identical. And that employee used to be very close with the big boss; someone even saw them dining together!"
"I know, I know, it was Ma Qianqian from the design department. Someone once saw her dining with the big boss, but later, the employee was reportedly killed in a car accident."
"Oh my, so now is Ma Pianpian from the finance department here to replace her sister?"
"I guess so, otherwise, how could a small employee from the finance department end up on the top floor?"
