Chapter 1153: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (9)

Qiao Lian froze in the middle of eating. Her fingers tightened around the chopsticks and her posture straightened.
Had she been busted?
So what should she do now? Admit it or deny it?
In a split second, she made a decision.
She lifted her head immediately with a blank expression in her eyes. Puzzled, she looked at Lu Nanze and spoke calmly, “Why do you say that?”
The moment she said this, Qiao Yiyi’s voice drifted in from the doorway, “Because you stole from Second Brother’s safe! Qiao Lian, what were you looking for in Second Brother’s safe? I knew it! You have ill intentions. You haven’t lost your memory, you’re just pretending!”
Qiao Yiyi charged into the room after saying this. Pointing at Qiao Lian with her finger, she said accusingly, “Second Brother, I knew she was up to no good. Look, now she’s given herself away. I saw her sneaking up here yesterday and knew straightaway she had planned this in advance! Good thing I rushed over and foiled her plans. Otherwise, she’d have stolen the things in your safe.”
Qiao Lian pursed her lips tightly.
Glaring at Qiao Yiyi, she smirked.
How could anyone be this shameless?
She first took advantage of the Qiao family and later on, she betrayed the Qiao family. And now she was out to frame her?
She hadn’t even tried to get even with Qiao Yiyi, yet the latter now jumped right in the line of fire.
Qiao Lian wasn’t going to hold herself back now.
She narrowed her eyes and then laughed icily.
Staring at Qiao Yiyi, she said, “What gives you the right to say I wanted to steal?”
“Because your purpose was to sneak into Second Brother’s office then!”
Qiao Lian looked at Lu Nanze and said, “You should know the best. You were the one who asked me to come up here to get the document, isn’t that right?”
“Then why did you stay in the office for so long? After you found the document, why didn’t you leave immediately?”
Qiao Yiyi was trying to corner her.
Narrowing her eyes, Qiao Lian replied, “I wanted to have a look around Lu Nanze’s office since I was here, what’s wrong with that? Do you mean that you didn’t look around in curiosity the first time you went to his office?”
At once, Qiao Yiyi was stumped.
The first time she had pestered Lu Nanze and entered this office, she had been completely stunned by the interior.
At the time, she had been completely amazed and had looked around for the longest time, trying to imagine in her mind that she would marry Lu Nanze some day and officially sit in this office as the lady boss.
Could it be that Qiao Lian had been thinking the same thing?
Qiao Yiyi narrowed her eyes at this thought.
Qiao Lian continued, “Did you see with your own eyes, or hear with your own ears, me stealing from the safe? You don’t even know anything and you accuse someone without any basis? I know that you like Lu Nanze, but you don’t have to smear me like this.”
Qiao Yiyi began to panic and retorted, “How did I accuse you? There was only one person in this office at the time and it was you! Who else would it be if it weren’t you?”
Qiao Lian looked towards Lu Nanze at once. She saw that he was staring at them in silence, as though he was contemplating something.
Qiao Lian laughed icily and said, “You are wrong. I wasn’t the only one who was alone in this room yesterday.”
Then she pointed a finger at Qiao Yiyi and raised her voice, saying, “After I left, you stayed back in the office alone. And all the secretaries can verify this!”
