Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057 You’re Really Funny

Because she had done something embarrassing with He Nan in the office, Shen Mianmian temporarily forgot what Tang Ling had said previously, until she ran into Tang Ling at the company’s entrance, which reminded her.

Tang Ling’s expression wasn’t very pleasant at that moment. Shen Mianmian had stayed in the office for over two hours, a lone man and a single woman, alone in a sealed room for so long—what could they possibly have been doing?

Tang Ling wasn’t a fool. Having met many people, she had seen a lot as well and naturally knew about some unspoken rules of the trade. Still, she believed He Nan wasn’t that kind of person.

Yet, she faintly felt that He Nan treated Shen Mianmian differently from others.

She concealed the emotions in her heart and walked toward Shen Mianmian, "Miss Shen."

Shen Mianmian nodded, pretending she didn’t know Tang Ling had been waiting for her, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Tang Ling smiled, her laughter half genuine, half forced, "Miss Shen, this is no coincidence. I’ve been waiting here for you for over two hours."

She deliberately emphasized "over two hours."

Shen Mianmian feigned surprise, "You were waiting for me?"

"Yes," Tang Ling said, "Miss Shen, could you give me your contact information? Whenever you’re available, could you send me a signed photo?"

Shen Mianmian sidestepped her request, "How about I have someone send it over later? You seem quite busy, and you waited here for me for so long. I wouldn’t want to waste more of your time."

Tang Ling immediately understood what Shen Mianmian meant, "That works."

She glanced up at the company building, then pretended to ask casually, "Miss Shen, you’ve known our Mr. He for quite some time, haven’t you? You two seem very familiar with each other."

"Not that long." Shen Mianmian considered, then said, "We met in junior high."

Tang Ling, surprised, "That long ago? Then you must know Mr. He quite well. I’ve noticed he never interacts with other girls. Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Hasn’t he mentioned having a girlfriend?" Shen Mianmian countered.

Tang Ling said, "He’s said he has a fiancée, but no one has seen her. Behind his back, everyone says Mr. He made up a fictitious fiancée to avoid unwanted romantic advances."

Shen Mianmian responded, "Then the people at your company have quite the imagination."

"Miss Shen, you really have a sense of humor," Tang Ling laughed again.

"Do I?" Shen Mianmian replied in kind.

"Miss Shen is so certain, you must have seen Mr. He’s fiancée, right?" Tang Ling pressed.

"I have," Shen Mianmian’s tone paused, then she added, "and know her quite well."

Tang Ling pursed her lips, looked at Shen Mianmian for a while, and then said, "I’ve also heard that Mr. He once sponsored a poor student, a girl from Beijing University."

"You’re quite well-informed," Shen Mianmian replied calmly, "That girl is me."

She was the poor student sponsored by He Nan; this wasn’t a secret, and many people knew, so Shen Mianmian had no intention of hiding it.

As for her relationship with He Nan, it was something that would become public in a couple of years anyway, so she wasn’t at all worried about Tang Ling finding out.

Others could brazenly confront her, and she would certainly defend her own love.

...

This time Tang Ling was genuinely surprised.

No wonder Shen Mianmian and He Nan were so familiar with each other—it turned out their relationship was of this nature.

"You... You really are the poor student sponsored by Mr. He?" Tang Ling asked with a hint of skepticism, "Miss Shen, are you joking with me? You look like a rich young lady, nothing like a poor student."

She spoke these words from the bottom of her heart.
