CEO Above, Me Below - Chapter 9

There’s nothing else.”

“Miss Shi, you were most likely pregnant then,” Feng De guided.

“No. I wasn’t pregnant.”

Feng De didnt see any peaks in the display. She had answered truthfully, but he couldn’t help feeling suspicious.

He paused for a moment then continued, “Impossible! According to the investigation, you were pretty much housebound three years ago. Everyone who met you then saw that you were dressed in loose clothing. If you weren’t pregnant, why did you hide in your house for a year?”

“That was because I was drawing manhua! I like to stay in my house when I’m creating artwork. I wore loose clothing because I like to be comfortable. Was it really that odd?”

Shi Xiaonian was speechless. That could also become evidence?

“Where were you three years ago on the evening of the lunar new year?”

“Lunar new year? I was probably celebrating the new year at my childhood home. I always go home for the new year every year.”

“No. That night, you were with our young master.” Feng De said, “You were with young master, and you were the one who initiated.”

If it weren’t for the excessive earnestness on Feng De’s wrinkled face, Shi Xiaonian would have thought he was joking.

“I wasn’t! I’m disgusted every time I see an irascible, odious man like him. How could I possibly start anything with him?” Shi Xiaonian shouted in agitation as she glared at Feng De.

Gong Ou.

When she heard those two words, she felt like she swallowed a fly.

The scenes from the sauna played again in her head. She was swallowed up inch by inch by that irascible, odious man.

“BAM!”
On the balcony outside, a man lounged on a white rattan chair. When her words drifted out the window, he scowled and slammed his wineglass onto the table.

Disgust.

This woman actually said that he was disgusting! He didn’t find fault with her pretentiousness, yet she was already complaining he was disgusting?

“Mr. Gong. That woman is purposefully provoking you to get your attention by playing hard to get. Don’t take it too seriously.”

These words came from a woman with E-cup breasts wearing practically transparent sleepwear. She stood behind Gong Ou massaging his shoulders. When she saw him start to lose his temper, she rushed to calm him down in a soft voice.

“Playing hard to get?”

Gong Ou icily repeated. He looked into the window with ill will only to see Shi Xiaonian sitting on the polygraph chair, her eyes brimming with hatred.

He could easily tell whether it was true abhorrence or playing hard to get.

In the room through the window, butler Feng De frowned and continued speaking to Shi Xiaonian, “Miss Shi, we’ve investigated you before.”

“You’re only the Shi family’s adopted daughter. You have a sister who is a year younger than you. From your youth until now, you’re always outmatched by your sister with respect to both looks or abilities. You are only a third-rate manhua artist while she is the country’s beloved top actress. She’s even the young mistress of the Mu family who are cosmetics moguls…..”

Having her background suddenly narrated like this was like she was having her clothing removed piece by piece in front of an audience.

Shi Xiaonian clenched her fists and firmly bit her lips.

“I hired an expert in psychology to make an analysis. Long-term feelings of inferiority and jealousy would make you want to surpass your sister,” Feng De informed her. “So three years ago on the lunar new year, you plotted to climb into young master’s bed

He stated this full of conviction as if he saw it all in person.

Long-term feelings of inferiority and jealousy……

Shi Xiaonian’s anger suddenly turned into bitterness, but she was still unable to say a word.

What a joke! What kind of expert was that? Did they know her? Understand her? For what reason did they come to that conclusion about her!?
