Chapter 707 Ode to Joy 11

"I'm not wrong. Isn't someone's silence because they have something to hide?" Qu Xiaoxiao snorted, leaning against the elevator wall with a disdainful look, staring defiantly at the person in front of her.

Faced with Qu Xiaoxiao's sarcastic remarks, Andy remained unusually calm and composed, standing motionless like a statue, seemingly completely unaware of the hidden meaning in Qu Xiaoxiao's words.

Seeing this, Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer, and Fan Shengmei all looked embarrassed and exchanged glances. For a moment, none of them dared to interrupt.

After all, they knew perfectly well that neither Qu Xiaoxiao nor Andy were easy to deal with, and that they could easily get themselves into trouble if they were not careful.

Lin Jiu, on the other hand, watched the tense standoff like a detached bystander, muttering to himself.

Finally, unable to suppress her true thoughts, she couldn't help but say, "Maybe that's not the case? Maybe they really did earn the boss's appreciation and trust through their own outstanding abilities, which is why they were given a house and a car as a reward."

These words are actually the point that Lin Jiu has always wanted to express.

In her view, women driving luxury cars does not necessarily mean they are so-called "mistresses" or "other women," and such unfounded speculation is simply a blatant act of gender discrimination.

Why should women make things difficult for other women?

“Yes, that makes so much sense!” Qiu Yingying nodded repeatedly, indicating that she completely agreed with Lin Jiu’s words.

After this reminder, she suddenly realized that the reason she felt Qu Xiaoxiao's words were a bit awkward was because they contained malicious speculation and disrespect.

Qu Xiaoxiao was about to retort to the guy who dared to challenge her, but when she saw that the other person was actually Lin Jiu, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

However, Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't so polite to Qiu Yingying, who chimed in from the side: "Heh, you're so good at talking, hindsight!"

“You…” Qiu Yingying has always been straightforward and outspoken, and can be described as a person who is guileless and impulsive.

This was already the umpteenth time Qu Xiaoxiao had mocked and scorned her like this, and her anger flared up instantly.

In a fit of rage, Qiu Yingying abruptly rolled up her sleeves, and then...

Just then, without warning, the elevator suddenly plummeted downwards at an astonishing speed! "Aaaaaah!!!"

In an instant, a series of ear-piercing screams erupted from the elevator, as if they were about to lift the roof off.

Lin Jiu covered her ears in pain, feeling a buzzing in her head, almost deafened and blinded by the noise.

After a while, the elevator finally stopped falling.

However, the situation did not improve—it would sometimes plummet rapidly and sometimes come to an abrupt stop, clearly indicating a serious malfunction.

Faced with this situation, the other beautiful women in the elevator were all terrified, and even Andy, who was usually the most composed and calm, was as pale as a sheet.

In contrast, Lin Jiu's appearance was particularly striking. She stood there motionless, her face showing no sign of fear whatsoever.

Fear? What is that?

Lin Jiu hadn't heard those two words in a long time. She had the ability, so why was she afraid? Besides, what she had done in this life wasn't more exciting than an elevator malfunction?
