Chapter 157 Intuition - Daily Life of a Sickly Girl in the Compound

Lin Qing's smile seemed a bit forced to the more familiar Wang Jiaojiao and Fu Huihui, but in Su Shengnan's eyes, it was just Lin Qing being overly surprised!

After noticing Lin Qing's expression, Fu Huihui wanted to help her friend out of the awkward situation. She feigned urgency, paused briefly, and then said, "Qing Qing, we need to hurry!"

Lin Qing was momentarily surprised but quickly followed her lead, "Ah, right, I almost forgot, we have things to do!"

Su Shengnan realized she might’ve come on too strong!

She figured she should take it easy, so she took a step back and said, "I was just so happy to see Lin that I didn't realize I was holding you up. If Lin has time in the future, you can come and visit me!"

"Oh! Uh," Lin Qing said quickly, "We’d better get going!"

Lin Qing pulled Wang Jiaojiao, and Fu Huihui grabbed Wang Jiaojiao's other hand, and the two of them practically hauled Wang Jiaojiao off at a fast pace!

"Are they still watching?"

"They're still watching!" Lin Qing could feel the gaze fixed on her back.

The three of them didn't slow down until they turned a corner and were completely blocked by the building.

Lin Qing and Fu Huihui both exhaled in relief!

"What just happened?" Wang Jiaojiao, who’d been half-pulled along, was completely clueless.

Fortunately, she trusted her two friends and didn't say much, even though she felt something was off.

Lin Qing turned around to look back, patted her chest, and said, "Let's talk as we walk!"

"Okay!" Fu Huihui was dying to know.

"Okay!" Wang Jiaojiao agreed.

The three of them continued walking toward the office building.

"Qing Qing, you said you've only met that Su twice?" Wang Jiaojiao asked in disbelief.

Lin Qing nodded, "Yes."

Lin Qing then asked, "Does it seem off?"

"Off, totally off!" Fu Huihui, thinking of the strange atmosphere between the two, chimed in first.

Wang Jiaojiao also added, "Her tone made it sound like you two were old friends!" Though naive, she wasn’t clueless.

"Yes, it felt like that woman was very familiar with you!" Fu Huihui also said.

Lin Qing shuddered at their words!

"Stop it! Including today, I’ve only seen her three times. The first two times were when I went shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative, and we just chatted briefly before leaving!"

Now, even Wang Jiaojiao felt something was off!

"That's really strange, isn't it?" Fu Huihui said.

Lin Qing nodded dejectedly, "Isn’t that just too weird?"

"Honestly, from the moment I first met her, I thought she was way too friendly!"

"Isn’t that just like me, though?" Wang Jiaojiao suddenly recalled her first meeting with Lin Qing.

Lin Qing shook her head, "You two are actually pretty different!"

Wang Jiaojiao was very curious about what the difference was.

"You were both super friendly at first, but I could see the genuine excitement in your eyes, not in hers."

Fu Huihui added from the side, "Her friendliness felt totally fake!"

"Exactly! It was all an act!" Lin Qing clapped her hands excitedly.

They walked briskly and were back at the office in no time. Fu Huihui didn’t go back to her own department but followed Lin Qing and Wang Jiaojiao to the finance department!

Wang Jiaojiao pulled up a spare chair for Fu Huihui and said, "Take a seat!"

They huddled in a quiet corner of the office, whispering so as not to bother anyone.

"Based on what you’ve said, she does sound pretty shady!" Fu Huihui rubbed her chin and said.

"Seriously, I got chills all over!" Wang Jiaojiao whispered.

"Same here! When I first met her and walked away, I got chills too!" Lin Qing remembered her first meeting with Su Shengnan, pretending to be calm as she turned to leave, she didn’t even need to touch to feel the goosebumps all over her body.

"Yikes, she’s definitely up to no good!" Fu Huihui said.

"Exactly! It’s way too convenient how often I run into her! I even told Cen Xi about it, saying I’d probably see her again."

"Looks like your gut feeling was spot on!" Wang Jiaojiao exclaimed.

Wang Jiaojiao remembered how her friend had helped her confront a jerk—was that also intuition?

Fu Huihui whispered, "If she’s targeting you, she’s got a motive, even if we don’t know what it is yet. You’re definitely the focus."

"Obviously, or she wouldn’t be bothering me!" Lin Qing nodded, she had thought about this question when she thought of this person.

"So, what do you think she’s after?" Wang Jiaojiao was full of confusion.

Fu Huihui gave Lin Qing a once-over, making her squirm. "What?" Lin Qing asked.

"Maybe it’s because you’re drop-dead gorgeous?"

"Really? Even if I’m somewhat pretty, I look so frail—it’s not like I’m everyone’s type!"

"OMG!" Wang Jiaojiao whispered, "Qing Qing, do you even see yourself? A bit good-looking? You’re stunning, okay?"

Lin Qing was stunned by Wang Jiaojiao’s emphasis—was it really that big a deal?

Fu Huihui nodded, "Absolutely!"

Wang Jiaojiao and Fu Huihui were convinced they’d figured it out: Su Shengnan was after Lin Qing’s looks.

"Is it really about my looks?" Lin Qing muttered, still in disbelief. "But I’m married!"

"Why not walk past her with Cen Gong sometime? Let her know you’re taken and kill her hopes!"

Lin Qing frowned, confused. "That’s so weird! Su Shengnan’s a woman, not a man!"

They both laughed awkwardly, scratching their heads. Yeah, that was kind of odd!
