Passionate Devotion

Where’s Your Husband?

“Big sister, it’s really you! Shi Yang mentioned this afternoon that he saw you volunteering here, and I didn’t believe what he had said at the time.” Tong Juan was leaning against Shi Yang’s chest with a blissful expression. “I was looking for a chance to let you know that Shi Yang and I are dating and that we started dating back when we were in Yale. Now, we’ve decided to return to this country and start our careers here. You don’t mind, do you?”

As Tong Lu held the stack of documents, she pretended to be calm. “Of course not…”

That was obviously a lie.

“I knew that you definitely wouldn’t mind. You’re already married, after all. Shi Yang, do you hear that? I told you that my older sister won’t mind.”

Tong Juan straightened her body and raised her head with a victorious expression. Shi Yang’s gaze was fixed on Tong Lu’s face. He looked like he was about to say something when Tong Juan beat him to it. “Big sister, are you coming into the elevator or not? The doors are about to close.”

Tong Lu felt a sense of suffocation in her chest. She hurried into the elevator, and Tong Juan followed her inside.

“Shi Yang, I need to talk to my older sister in private. Why don’t you head over first?”

Once the elevator doors slid close, Tong Juan immediately discarded her friendly facade and looked at Tong Lu with an arrogant expression. “Big sister, I just want to warn you that Shi Yang is my boyfriend right now. Don’t you ever think that you have a chance with Shi Yang just because your husband is dead. It’s impossible that Shi Yang would go back to you.”

Tong Lu did not feel like paying any heed to her younger sister. “Tong Juan, I’m here to volunteer, not to snatch your boyfriend away from you. Why are you so anxious? Are you not confident in your ability to hold onto your man?”

“What right do you have to sound so arrogant? You’re merely a volunteer here who’s doing miscellaneous tasks such as serving drinks. If it weren’t for this, do you think that you have had the chance to attend such a classy banquet?” Tong Juan straightened her body and raised her head like a proud peacock. “Things are different for me. I’m attending the banquet as Shi Yang’s partner. People like you are born to serve people like us! Why wouldn’t I be confident in my ability to hold onto my man?”

“Attending the banquet? What a joke. Only leaders, VIPs and representatives from various countries are invited to attend the banquet. At most, you’re just here to watch the firework show. Are you even qualified to enter the banquet hall?”

Tong Juan, whose lie was exposed, was rather furious and embarrassed. However, she kept her head up and said, “So what? I’m at least a guest, and I’m also Shi Yang’s girlfriend. Meanwhile, you’re nothing but a service crew member, a widow at that!”

Tong Lu ignored her. The elevator doors slid open, and she strode out.

She was actually feeling very upset. But how could she blame Shi Yang for dating her younger sister?

She was the one who had abandoned Shi Yang first. She was the one who let go of her first love.

Tong Lu took a deep breath and forced herself not to fall into a glum mood. She headed to meeting room 305 on the second floor.

Security was extremely tight there. She was allowed to enter the meeting room after the security guards conducted a body search. However, those security guards could not help but sneak a few glances at her. They looked like they were trying not to laugh, and Tong Lu found it strange.

The long table in the meeting room was occupied by powerful and extraordinary people. The president was sitting in the main seat and speaking with cadence. However, Leng Yejin was the first person who caught Tong Lu’s eyes. He was leaning against the backrest of his chair with a hand propping up his chin as he spun the pen in his other hand.

Tong Lu tried her best to remain invisible as she placed a stack of documents in front of all the delegates. After walking around the oval table, she placed the last stack of documents in front of Leng Yejin. He glanced at her and furrowed his eyebrows.

Tong Lu was puzzled. ‘What’s going on?”

Leng Yejin whipped out his cell phone and opened the front camera. He then held up his cell phone with the screen facing her. Tong Lu did not know what he was trying to do, but she panicked so much that she almost covered her mouth with her hand after looking at the screen. There was a grain of rice at the corner of her lips.
