Chapter 187: Chapter 187: If we agreed on pranking, then we must prank (1) _1

"Yes, yes... it’s Xia Wan’an."

Upon hearing this name, Zhang Te, who was drinking water on the other end of the line, choked on his drink.

After a bout of violent coughing, he finally regained his breath and instinctively glanced to the side.

Sitting elegantly on the couch dressed in a black suit was Han Jingnian, looking much the same as before. However, there was an obvious sharpness flashing in his slightly furrowed brows.

Zhang Te’s hand had trembled, nearly dropping his phone.

Ai Jiang, on the other end of the line, unaware of the situation at Zhang Te’s end, continued to speak coquettishly, "Xia Wan’an called Director Gu late at night only to be caught by his fiancée. Then Xia Wan’an and Gu’s fiancée had a row in their department chat group. Xia Wan’an even showed her marriage certificate, claiming she’s already married..."

Hearing this, Zhang Te carefully looked at Han Jingnian, finding his face darker than ever, the whole hotel room was so tense you could cut it with a knife.

Looking at Han Jingnian in this state, Zhang Te regretted asking that question about who the mistress was, feeling like he’d rather die.

That secretary Ai is poison! If she wanted to die, why drag him into it? Damn it, he was one of the highest-ranking people in Zhang’s office, just wait until he made her life difficult!

Wait a minute... Isn’t the lady a good friend of Secretary Ai? Since they’re good friends, why would Secretary Ai gossip about her?

An idea crossed Zhang Te’s mind, he promptly made amends: "Secretary Ai, aren’t you and..."

The word "madam" only half spoken, Zhang Te quickly amended it to: "...Designer Xia good friends?"

Zhang Cheng’s statement silenced Ai Jiang, who was previously chattering nonstop on the other end of the line.

Probably ten seconds later, Ai Jiang finally spoke: "Yes, Wan’an and I are good friends. I just called her to offer my comfort, and that’s why I told Zhang Te all this... I felt sad for Wan’an and couldn’t help myself..."

Zhang Te put on an enlightened face: "Is that so? If you didn’t explain, I would have thought that you were intentionally trying to smear Designer Xia."

Ai Jiang on the other end of the line: "..."

Just as before, Ai Jiang remained silent for a good ten seconds before speaking up, "No, how could I ever smear Wan’an?"

"If Secretary Ai has no intention to slander her good friend, I would advise to stop spreading gossips about her. This could easily mislead people." Zhang Te spoke up with a righteous tone.

Caught off guard, Ai Jiang was silenced for a moment before awkwardly responding, "Yes, Zhang Te."

Without saying another word, Zhang Te ended the call and immediately looked toward Han Jingnian.

He didn’t wait for Han Jingnian to speak and quickly said, "President Han, I apologize."

Han Jingnian didn’t reply.

"President Han, I didn’t mean to blurt out the question about who the mistress was. I was tricked by Secretary Ai..."

He had promised to create trouble for her, and trouble there would be!

With that thought in mind, Zhang Te didn’t hesitate to speak again, "... Secretary Ai first mentioned Xia Wan’an, and after I challenged her on that, she then changed the subject to ’Wan’an’. What does this imply? It implies Ai doesn’t sincerely treat the lady as her friend. President Han, although I misspoke once, I have found out what kind of person Secretary Ai is, so my credits should outweigh my faults..."
