The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 240

Suddenly Mango became agitated, but Queena held her hand tightly to stop her.

"Aunt Xiao..."

Mango did not say anything further, but her lips moved of their own accord. Obviously, this revelation made her very anxious.

If there was really something out of the ordinary about the incident at the construction site, then Nathaniel would have an advantage over the situation.

However, Queena just shook her head and she told Mango to just wait and see what the other two people would do.

The driver was concerned after he heard the woman's words.

"What should we do? As long this matter hasn't been settled, we can't bury Mr. Li. We have to figure out some way to convince the court to accept this case. Didn't they say that it would be easy to file a lawsuit?"

"How the hell would I know? Wasn't this your idea? When we first killed him, I wanted to use his death as a way to get some money. After that, we could have run away to live a better life. If it wasn't for you thinking that the HY Group was shortchanging us in favor of that person giving us a million dollars, would we be in this situation? Now, the HY Group is refusing to compromise with us and the other person still hasn't given us the money. What's more, the court rejected our lawsuit and Mr. Li's body is showing signs of livor mortis. If someone else sees them, we'll be in jail, let alone get any money."

The woman was extremely agitated.

"What are you fussing about? You’re the one that killed him by smashing the back of his head with a rock, so why are you quarreling with me now?"

The driver started to become upset.

"F*ck! Why would I bludgeon Mr. Li to death? If it wasn't for the fact that he discovered what you and I were doing, would I have killed my husband? You told me that you wanted to marry me and take me away from here to live a better life. When you put it this way, does that mean you intend to push the blame onto me? Let me tell you, Fitch, don't push me, or else I'll leave you and we'll go our own separate ways, or let others found what we did! Don't you dare to forget that it was you who dumped him off the building! Plus, other people may not know that it was your contact that swapped the HY Group's materials, but I do! There's no way for you to get rid of me!"

The woman was quite ferocious.

Meanwhile, Mango more or less understood what was going on, but she regretted not bringing Nathaniel here.

Then, Queena took her hand and they quietly left the scene.

After they boarded the car, Mango said angrily, "They're such b*stards! Mr. Li discovered their affair but the woman killed him and the man threw him off a building! What's more, that brought trouble for the HY Group and now they want to extort us? Why are there such evil people on this planet?"

"There'll always be plenty of evil people. Society is filled with too much temptation, and many people lose themselves when they faced it. However, God is fair and we all pay the price for our actions because He is watching. Let's go."

Then, Queena started the car and they quietly drove away.

Mango looked at Queena's expression and she suddenly felt that she could not understand this woman. Initially, Mango had thought that Queena was a painter, or that she was someone who made a living from her paintings. However, Mango felt like her worldview was quite limited after she learned that Queena was a minister.

The two of them turned onto the highway once again.

Then, Queena asked in a low voice, "Do you have any way to contact your husband?"

"Yes, I do!"

"Okay, then let’s find a place for you two to meet."

Queena's words both shocked and concerned Mango at the same time.

"Aunt Xiao, my identity is still a delicate issue. I'm afraid that it'll endanger Nathan if I meet him."

"Then tell him to go to the embassy. No one would think that there would be an illegal immigrant in the embassy."

After that, Queena threw her phone to Mango so that she could call Nathaniel before Queena turned the car around to drive back to the embassy.

Mango felt so much gratitude to Queena now.

Then, she quickly called Nathaniel.

"Hello?"

There was a hint of exhaustion in Nathaniel's voice. It was obvious that this matter had troubled him a lot.

Mango whispered in reply, "It's me."

"Mango?"

"Nathan, listen to me. Go to the embassy and see Minister Xiao right now."

Mango's words confused Nathaniel for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"Stop asking so many questions and just go to the embassy."

"L.Okay then."

After Nathaniel hung up the phone, Mango was still a little uneasy.

"Aunt Xiao, no one is going to realize I'm there right?"

"It'll be fine if you just follow me. If anyone asks, tell them you're my secretary."

Queena's voice was faint when she said that. Clearly, she was not very concerned about it.

However, Mango said worriedly, "But wasn't my picture posted on the Internet? The people in the embassy should know, they..." "They won't say a word to anybody, just relax."

Queena did not elaborate further, so Mango did not ask any more questions.

Although she did not know how much authority Queena had, it was obvious that Queena wanted to protect her now and Mango needed not to doubt it.

Then, the two of them quickly returned to the embassy.

The guard at the door saw Queena's car and he let them pass without even a glance at Mango.

Next, Queena brought Mango to her office.

Only then did Mango realize that Queena was actually the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Queena’s position shocked her a little, but she did not comment.

When they arrived at the office, Queena pointed to the coffee machine beside them and she said, "You can make your own coffee if you want. I prefer having tea."

Nevertheless, Mango instinctively understood what Queena meant and she immediately picked up the tea set to brew some tea.

When it came to brewing tea, Mango was actually not very good at it. However, she naturally picked up some techniques after she stayed with Terrance and observed him brewing tea.

Queena had an appreciative glint in her eye when she saw Mango's professional approach to brew tea.

Frankly, the more Queena looked at Mango, the more pleasing Mango to her eyes.

"Have you ever thought about working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Queena's words stunned Mango.

"Aunt Xiao, I'm not cut out for that."

Mango knew the extent of her own capabilities, and furthermore, she was only interested in art. Other than that, she was completely clueless about foreign affairs.

Thankfully, Queena did not press her for answers and she stayed silent.

In fact, Mango thought that this was an excellent way for them to get along with each other.

After the tea was brewed, someone knocked on the door to deliver a message.

"Minister Xiao, there's someone called Nathaniel who's here to see you." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Let him in."

Queena’s voice was light when she spoke.

Meanwhile, Mango was slightly nervous and her hands trembled as she held the kettle.

At that, Queena shook her head and said, "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that you won't be able to see him even when he’s already arrived?"

Hence, Mango was a little embarrassed at Queena's question.

Indeed, she missed Nathaniel so much.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" There was not much inflection in Queena's steady voice.

When Nathaniel came in, the first thing that his eyes focused on was Mango.

He was surprised to see her, but he still politely nodded to Queena and said, "Minister Xiao, you wished to see me?"

"It’s your wife who wants to see you, not me."

Queena smiled and she pointed to Mango, who was next to her.

At that, Mango's face suddenly blushed.

Likewise, Nathaniel was also very excited to see Mango.

He had not seen Mango for several days already. Initially, he had thought that he could easily solve the problem at the construction site, but he did not expect it to be so complicated until it took up all of his time.

"Well, you two have a lot of catching up to do, so I'll make myself scarce."

After that, Queena stood up before she went into a back room before she closed the door behind her.

When Nathaniel and Mango were left alone in the office, Mango could not help but throw herself into Nathaniel's arms.

"I've missed you so much."

"Aww.J've missed you too!"

In fact, Nathaniel felt like he was in a dream because it felt surreal to hold Mango's body in his arms again. "Gosh! Are you really here?"

"Yes, it's me. It's really me!"

Then, Mango looked up and she saw the stubble forming on Nathaniel's chin.

He had always been meticulous about his appearance, but this matter had really worn him down and it made Mango very distressed.

"You've lost weight."

"You're saying that as if you've gotten fatter."

Nathaniel smiled. He had temporarily forgotten his worries and all he wanted to do now was to hug his wife.

After that, Mango directly stood on her tiptoes and she gave him a lingering kiss.

Naturally, Nathaniel did not hesitate to reciprocate her kiss wildly.

The two of them were kissing passionately, and the temperature in the room rose. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in Queena's office, Nathaniel would have sexual intimacy with Mango now.

When the two of them separated, they panted for breath.

Mango leaned into his arms and she said, "I didn't expect that Aunt Xiao would turn out to be Minister Xiao. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be able to meet you."

"I didn't expect that either. You're lucky enough to meet a Good Samaritan."

"Yeah, but I have something to tell you." Mango took Nathaniel's hand and they sat down on the sofa beside her. Then, she told Nathaniel what she heard earlier.

"If all this is true, then as long as the coroner examines Mr. Li's body, that means we can be cleared of the crime right?"

Mango asked hurriedly.

However, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "It's not that simple. Don't you think that the original coroner realized that something was wrong with Mr. Li's body? However, the autopsy report says that he fell from the building due to the substandard quality of our materials. I think that Abyss has bribed both the coroner and the suppliers. Even if we know Mr. Li's been murdered, it'll be difficult to find evidence of that."

"Then what should we do? Are we going to let Abyss trap us like this?"

Mango was simply livid.

Although it had been made clear that this was Abyss' territory, it wasn't fair that he could oppress people like this.

Nathaniel looked at the anxious expression on Mango's face as he ran his fingers through her hair. Then, he said with a smile, "My dear, look at you that become all worried about me."

"How could I not be? Both you and Ye Family’s reputation are on the line. Didn't you say that our family is very unstable now? If this isn't solved as soon as possible, I'm afraid that you..."

"Don't be afraid. Everything is under my control, and if you wait another day, the truth will be revealed." Nathaniel's confident look puzzled Mango slightly.

"You already knew about this?"

"Yes, Thomas found out about it long ago, but I'm waiting for the right moment to strike."

Nathaniel's words made Mango let out a sigh of relief, but she said in a low voice, "You scared me to death. Why didn't you tell me that you have a plan? At least I wouldn’t have worried for nothing."

"Well, not really. At least I know that you care a lot about me. To be honest, I'm not worried about this, but I am worried about the issue of your identity. What do we do about it?"
