At that moment, Lu Jinyang was already questioning him, "When did you schedule that meeting for me?"
"I... I remembered incorrectly." Leng Yixing's heart seized with fear, particularly afraid of Lu Jinyang probing further, lest it backfire.
When he went to pick up Xiao Qing, Lin Xiaoxiao had just entered Lu Jinyang's office, mentioning that there was a project from the Lin Family that nobody could decide on, hence they sent Lin Xiaoxiao to consult with Lu Jinyang.
How could Leng Yixing not know Lin Xiaoxiao's intention?
Lu Jinyang had not been to work these days, and as soon as he did come, Lin Xiaoxiao showed up. Likely, consulting was merely a pretense, perhaps with another less pure motive being the reality.
He knew that Lu Jinyang was not interested in this Lin Xiaoxiao, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Xiao Qing would find out that these two were alone in the office... Therefore, the lie just now happened.
