Chapter 318 Breaking Up a Couple
Since things had come to this point, the female employee had no choice but to give up and leave.
After all, the station's top female anchor is always a woman of her word. She has already told us so bluntly, and any further persuasion would definitely not end well.
She had no choice but to leave and return to the reception room to tell the waiting noblewoman,
"Mrs. Jiang, I'm sorry... Sister Yilan is in a meeting right now and can't see any guests. Perhaps you could make an appointment with us another day..."
Lian Yuzhu waved her hand and laughed.
"It's alright, I'll wait for her here."
The female employee was somewhat surprised, not expecting the wife of a top-tier wealthy family to be so easy to talk to, but she still advised:
"Hmm... but I don't know how long the meeting will last..."
Lian Yuzhu nodded, indicating that she understood, but she did not change her mind at all.
"Anyway, I don't have anything to do today, so don't worry, go ahead and do your thing."
She came uninvited in the first place, so I can't cause her any trouble because of myself.
Seeing her determination, the female employee didn't try to persuade her any further, but simply served her tea and refreshments with the highest level of hospitality.
And so, after more than three hours, the meeting finally came to an end.
"Alright, those of you who need to eat, go eat," Mo Yilan gave the order, glancing at her watch at the same time: "Everyone must be on duty in one hour."
Okay~
"Okay, Sister Yilan."
"understood."
……
The team members were already used to this intense work environment and were highly obedient.
After all, Mo Yilan's professional skills are undeniable; every news story she handles consistently makes headlines, and her viewership, clicks, and dissemination have consistently ranked first in Taiwan for many years.
That's why she's considered the top female host in Taiwan; you have to admit it!
Mo Yilan returned to her workstation, grabbed the sandwich she bought that morning, and headed to the break room to heat up her mat. She had completely forgotten about the incident where someone had bothered her.
The female employee quickly ran over again.
"Sister Yilan, um..."
Upon seeing her, Mo Yilan remembered and said directly:
"Just have someone come in and find me. I don't have time to go to the reception room."
Before the female employee could speak, she was cut off and could only reply,
"...Okay then."
Then she sheepishly went to ask someone for help.
Mo Yilan took the heated sandwich back to her workstation and, as usual, opened the trending topics lists on various platforms, ready to eat while browsing.
Until the visitor walked up to them.
"Reporter Mo?"
A gentle, refined female voice rang out above her head, each word spoken slowly and steadily, carrying the quality of an old-fashioned person.
Mo Yilan chewed on her sandwich, then looked up.
"What's wrong...?"
Before he could finish speaking, his gaze met Lian Yuzhu's clear and composed smile.
Mo Yilan's pupils dilated instantly, and she quickly stood up.
"Uncle...cough cough cough..."
She tried to call for help, but the sandwich in her mouth almost choked her to death.
The commotion drew the attention of everyone else in the office, who looked up and witnessed the scene. They immediately began whispering among themselves.
"Huh?? That's... Mrs. Jiang?!"
"Yes!! Why would she come here?"
"She came to see Sister Yilan."
"Huh...??? Something's up~"
"Of course! Young Master Jiang has been picking up Sister Yilan from get off work a few times recently.
"Then...wouldn't that be...the mother-in-law meeting her daughter-in-law?"
"I don't know, maybe it'll be a chaotic scene?"
"Logically speaking, wealthy families value matching social status. Although Sister Yilan is capable, her family background shouldn't be good enough for a wealthy family..."
"Huh~ This is the first time I've seen Sister Yilan look so guilty."
"Hehe, I'm different. Yesterday, when I was shooting on location with Sister Yilan, I saw how guilty she looked after Young Master Jiang came to see her."
"Hey, tell me quickly!!"
……
When Lian Yuzhu saw that Mo Yilan's face turned red from choking, she panicked a little. She glanced at Mo Yilan's workstation, saw a thermos, picked it up, and was about to feed her.
"Here! Drink some water!"
Mo Yilan didn't care about anything else and quickly took a sip, only to almost scald herself to death.
"Cough cough cough..." She coughed even more violently.
"Oh dear! Why is it scalding hot water?" Lian Yuzhu realized that it was not her fault. At home, servants prepared warm water at the perfect temperature for her 24 hours a day. She never knew that ordinary people would take scalding hot water and wait for it to cool down.
The people in the office, witnessing this scene, felt even more that it was a chaotic battlefield.
Could it be that Madam Jiang wanted to break up the couple but couldn't be too direct, so she tried to anger Mo Yilan to death in this way?
Mo Yilan only recovered after Yan Lele quickly gave her a bottle of mineral water to drink.
Yan Lele secretly glanced at Lian Yuzhu, then moved closer to Mo Yilan and whispered:
"Sister Yilan, are you alright?"
Mo Yilan coughed slightly and shook her head.
"Oh dear... I'm so sorry... Yi... Reporter Mo."
Lian Yuzhu felt very guilty. Her colleagues all called her "Sister Yilan," and she wanted to call her "Yilan" too, but she was afraid that they would think she was too familiar, so she changed it back to "Reporter Mo."
Hearing her very formal way of addressing him, and hearing Lian Yuzhu's very natural "Aiya," everyone felt even more that she was being sarcastic and trying to intimidate Mo Yilan.
Hearing her apologize, Mo Yilan felt somewhat flustered and quickly shook her head.
"It's nothing... cough... Auntie, did you come to see me for something?"
Lian Yuzhu was about to take out her gift when she noticed that almost everyone around them was staring at them, which might cause her trouble.
"Do you have a spare moment right now? Shall we go find a coffee shop outside and sit down?"
"Huh?" Mo Yilan was somewhat surprised, but more so nervous and flustered.
Even she had a slight feeling that the other party might be coming to settle scores with her because they didn't want Jiang Baishen to have any contact with them.
But she couldn't bring herself to refuse, since the person had come all this way to find her, and was an elder at that.
She glanced at her watch and politely replied.
"I have 50 minutes left. There's a coffee shop right outside the TV station, but it doesn't have any private rooms. If you don't mind..."
"I don't mind at all!" Lian Yuzhu quickly replied.
"Let's go then." With that, Mo Yilan bent down slightly, clicked the mouse to lock the computer, and was about to leave with Lian Yuzhu.
Yan Lele grabbed her at just the right moment and whispered with concern:
"Sister Yilan, are you sure you can go alone?"
Mo Yilan was stunned, inwardly thinking that she was doomed.
Even a mentally challenged child like Yan Lele could tell that Madam Jiang's visit was ill-intentioned.
She gave him a look, signaling him to go do whatever he was doing.
Lian Yuzhu frowned slightly as she looked at the sunny and lively young boy.
Look how many people are after her daughter-in-law!
He should hurry up and take care of his stupid son.
Then I looked at the sandwich on Mo Yilan's table that she had only taken one bite of.
