Red Rose and White Rose GL
Chapter 7
Hanging up the phone with a snap, leaving the inexplicable Han Lingxi holding the phone speechless. She has been used to domineering for decades, and she didn't ask if she was free.
Forget it, Mr. Wu originally said that he would give everyone a holiday today, and besides, everyone drank too much last night. If there are a few who can go to the company to continue working, it is better to go home first, so as not to make mother call frantically again Come bomb.
Glancing at the missed call notification symbol at the top of the screen, Han Lingxi just wanted to see who had called, when the phone beeped twice to announce that the battery was exhausted, and it automatically shut down.
Alas, let's go back first.
After tidying up her long and rough hair, Han Lingxi went to the bathroom to wash up.There are disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste in the hotel. Although it is not as easy to use at home, it is tolerable for just one time.
While lazily brushing her teeth, she continued to rub her swollen temples. She felt that the right side of her neck was not comfortable, and she would feel sore when she touched it. She guessed if she had slumped to and fro last night, so she opened her collar to check.
Lifting the collar, there was a glaring red mark on the covered piece of snow-white skin.
Han Lingxi stood stiffly on the spot as if struck by lightning. She was already a mature woman who was about to run away, so how could she not know how the marks were made, but why didn't she have the slightest impression?
Her heartbeat continued to accelerate at this moment, she took off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror to check around, but fortunately, except for the one on her neck, there were no traces anywhere else.
Could it be that he really did something irrational while drunk last night?Who was it that sent him back to his room?
After taking a simple shower to wash away the alcohol smell from her body, Han Lingxi packed up and fled the hotel quickly, and returned home feeling uneasy, her mother was already sitting in the living room waiting.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Squeezing the fastened neckline, Han Lingxi brushed her hair unnaturally twice, that place was covered by the neckline and covered by her hair, so it should not be seen.
"Hey, Ran Ran, come on, come on, it's just in time for you to come back."
Zhang Fenglan waved to her daughter with a smile on her face, let her sit beside her, and said, "Mom and Dad have something to discuss with you."
"Well," Han Lingxi nodded and asked. Seeing the freshly brewed tea on the table, she felt even more dry, so she poured a cup and took a long gulp.
"what's up?"
Zhang Fenglan glanced at Han Xu who was sitting on the side, and kicked him with her toes.Han Xu spread his hands with a distressed expression, shook his head and turned his head in another direction.
These interactions fell into Han Lingxi's eyes, and she asked suspiciously: "What are you doing, what are you going to tell me?"
"Oh, it's really not a big deal." Zhang Fenglan gave Han Xu a hard look, and then became amiable when facing her daughter, "Ran Ran, Mom and Dad just want to ask you, how are you doing?"
"pretty good."
"Is there anything unusual?"
"No."
"Is everything normal? Nothing else?"
"what?"
Han Lingxi understood from her mother's insinuations that her point was not to ask herself if she had a good time, but to ask if there was any new progress in her emotional problems.
"Ran Ran, you see that you are old and not young. You are always unstable, and there is no way to do it. It's okay to fall in love a few times when you are young, but now, it should be for the purpose of marriage, and you still need to find a reliable one. of."
Zhang Fenglan picked up a small folder that was placed on the table just now and handed it to Han Lingxi, "Your aunt Liu helped me find it. I have read the boy's profile and feel that his family conditions and his own conditions are not bad. You Let's see, if possible... meet him first?"
"You want me to go on a blind date?"
Zhang Fenglan already had something on her mind, but Zhang Fenglan's mention of a blind date at this time made Han Lingxi even more anxious. She pushed the document away impatiently, "Mom, it's not that your daughter is no longer wanted. Is it so bad that you need to arrange a blind date?"
"It's not that no one wants it. If there are too many people who want it, it's blinding." Zhang Fenglan scolded, "You go around and think that your mother doesn't know. , the purpose is different, and the meaning of dating will also change. None of the boyfriends you dated took home to show me, and how many of them lasted? Lingxi, beautiful girls are an advantage, but you can’t Taking love as a trifling matter, it lets others know that they don’t know what to think of you.”
She paused and added: "I know this boy before, and I have an acquaintance to connect with him, so I know him well. Go and meet him when you have time, and he won't let you down."
"I won't go." Han Lingxi refused flatly, "I am sure about the relationship, so you and Dad don't bother."
"Just going to see him won't lose any meat, no loss, why are you so stubborn!"
"Mom, I've been too busy with work recently, can you let me stop?" Han Lingxi had a headache, "Let's talk about this matter slowly."
Parents and children are always two generations, with different visions.In Han Lingxi's eyes, those excellent and reliable resources are just crooked melons and cracked dates. This is the generation gap.Besides, the emotional entanglement between her and Zhou Tingyu has not been cleared up, and she is too busy to take care of herself, so she doesn't have the heart to support others.
"Okay, let's talk slowly, Ran Ran, you haven't had lunch yet, let's go eat."
Han Xu pulled Zhang Fenglan, "Daughter, please take it easy and bring it up in a few days. You can't be in a hurry for this kind of thing. It's not like you don't know her character. If you are in a hurry, the chance of meeting her is even slimmer." gone."
Although Zhang Fenglan was unhappy, she also knew that what her husband said was true, so she had to put the matter on hold for now.
Han Lingxi left after having lunch at her parents' house. When she got home, she found that the door was only locked.
There is someone at home, Zhou Tingyu is back?
It was only at this moment that she suddenly remembered that she was drunk and fell asleep in the hotel room last night, and she didn't tell Zhou Tingyu at all about not going back.
Guiltyly opened the door and walked into the living room, Zhou Tingyu was sitting on the sofa with his back to the door, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around and cast a deep look, the expression on his face made Han Lingxi feel that the aura around him was not right.
Her usual mild eyebrows and eyes are now frosted, and Han Lingxi knows that the other party is angry even if she is not sober.
"where did you go?"
Zhou Tingyu's calm and deep voice sounded in the quiet living room, and even speaking was much stiffer than usual...
"I... um... President Wu celebrated his birthday yesterday. You know, I drank a lot. Then I went directly to my mother's place to spend the night. Her house is near the hotel."
Han Lingxi lied, put on her shoes and walked to Zhou Tingyu's side.
"I called your phone, but it didn't go through."
"My phone turned off automatically when it ran out of power." Han Lingxi explained that Zhou Tingyu probably made the missed calls on her phone. She must be very anxious if she didn't go back last night.
"Sorry to worry you, I'm fine."
What is a guilty conscience? Meeting Zhou Tingyu's scrutinizing eyes, Han Lingxi subconsciously touched his collar again.Zhou Tingyu felt even more suspicious about this behavior of trying to cover up. She stared at Han Lingxi closely, "Aren't you hot?"
The temperature outside is high and the sun is shining. Han Lingxi came back from the outside with her buttons so tightly buttoned and her hair untied, which was very different from her usual habits.
"It's not hot." Han Lingxi denied it, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to the bedroom to catch up on sleep..."
However, Zhou Tingyu had already walked towards her, "Let me see."
"What are you looking at, it's really all right."
Han Lingxi retreated immediately as if facing a formidable enemy. Zhou Tingyu grabbed her wrist and unbuttoned her with the other hand. Of course Han Lingxi resisted. During the dispute, Han Lingxi stepped on the heel of her slippers and staggered and fell, trying to hold Zhou Tingyu He kept his balance on the cuff, and finally fell on the carpet with Zhou Tingyu.
This knock was not light, even though it was covered by a carpet, it still hurt Han Lingxi's waist. When she raised her head and saw Zhou Tingyu hanging above her with her arms propped up, she somehow felt that this scene looked familiar.
Zhou Tingyu had already parted her long hair and pulled down her collar, and was also taken aback when he saw the red mark on Han Lingxi's neck.
"Have you nothing to explain to me?"
Explain, explain what, her client was so drunk last night that her brain froze, she didn't know what happened, so how could she explain it to the other party?
Han Lingxi opened Zhou Tingyu's hand in a panic, "I can handle my affairs by myself, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about it."
As soon as she said the words, she regretted it, because she clearly saw Zhou Tingyu's body froze for a moment. If she was angry just now, she was still worried, but now Zhou Tingyu's eyes were completely cold.
"Okay, I don't care. I don't care about your affairs in the future."
Zhou Tingyu quickly got up and went into the bedroom, closing the door with a bang.Han Lingxi lowered her head remorsefully, it's over, this time she really messed with her.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After a difficult night, Han Lingxi went to work listlessly. When she walked to the door, she was bumped into by Wang Jun. He immediately came up to her, "Sister Lingxi!"
Han Lingxi didn't bother to talk to him, and continued to walk forward, "What's wrong?"
"Are you okay, you drank so much that night."
"fine."
"That's good, I've been worrying about you. Do you know...you slapped me the other night?"
"Ah, what?"
Han Lingxi's back was stiff, she stopped and asked in surprise, "Did I hit you last night?"
"Yeah," Wang Jun nodded straightly, "Last night you drank too much and said you were going home. I asked you if it's okay, if you want to call a car for you, you smiled and told me no, you can do it yourself, and turned around. Raising your hand is a slap!"
He taught that movement to Han Lingxi while he was talking. Han Lingxi used her toes to think about it and knew that she was drunk and insane. She didn't want to know the details of such a shameful thing!
Pressing down on Wang Jun's hand with a red face, Han Lingxi turned to think, "Wang Jun, what happened later, do you know who sent me to the hotel room to rest?"
"Then I don't know, and then I kind of left beforehand."
Wang Jun was still excited, "But having said that, Sister Lingxi, you smiled so charmingly that night, I wanted to kiss you so much, tsk tsk, for the beauty's smile, it's worth the slap..."
"..."
Han Lingxi understood that it was useless to ask any more questions, probably the little kid was only concerned with being a nympho at that time.But according to his description, Han Lingxi realized the meaningful smiles of some colleagues on the way when he came here. Could it be that he drank too much and did a lot of embarrassing things?
She raised her hand to cover half of her face in embarrassment, and now it's better to withdraw first.
☆, the visitor is not good
"Director, your coffee."
Lili put the cup beside Zhou Tingyu's hand, "I put it here."
"Well, thank you."
While staring at the computer, Zhou Tingyu lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip.
"Hiss—cough cough..."
Lili turned around and was about to go out, but when she heard Zhou Tingyu's cry of pain, she guessed that the coffee she picked up was scalding, so she immediately turned around and went back to hand her a tissue, apologizing guiltily: "I'm sorry, sorry, is it hot? Arrived? It’s all my fault! Don’t even see if it’s too hot!”
Zhou Tingyu took the tissue and wiped off the coffee from his lips, finally managed to breathe smoothly, waved his hand to comfort Lili, "I choked on myself, it has nothing to do with you."
She frowned and pressed her lips with a bent index finger, still looking uncomfortable.
After the lipstick was wiped off, Lili realized that Zhou Tingyu's lower lip was a bit swollen, and there was a tiny wound on it, probably because of the pain caused by drinking hot coffee.
She blinked her eyes and took a closer look, and asked strangely, "Hey...Director, why are your lips broken?"
"I accidentally bit it." Zhou Tingyu smiled at her, "It's okay, you can go out and do some work first, Lili."
"Oh, okay, then you should be careful when you eat and drink. It hurts to have a broken lip. Last time I had a mouth ulcer, which was so painful that I couldn't open my mouth."
"Well, I see, thanks."
Zhou Tingyu maintained the posture of stroking her lips, and did not let go until Lili closed the door to leave. She glanced at the coffee on the table, her black eyebrows slowly relaxed, she sat up straight and sighed.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Facing a thick stack of copies, Han Lingxi was really not in the mood to tidy up.
Although his colleagues looked at him strangely along the way, that was not the focus of Han Lingxi's attention.She didn't get along with some people in the company. She got drunk and went crazy and made a fool of herself. Naturally, some people gloated. She didn't mind the attitudes and opinions of these passers-by A. What she cared about was the truth of that night and Zhou Tingyu's attitude towards her.
How would Zhou Tingyu think of her? How would she think of her, a frivolous woman who was drunk and stayed out at night and messed around with others?Han Lingxi absolutely does not accept this kind of evaluation.Then in order to clear up the misunderstanding and explain to Zhou Tingyu, confess that he was actually drunk and didn't know what happened?Then she either thinks she is lying, or she thinks she is an idiot with low IQ.
"Hey, Xiao Han!"
A familiar voice sounded beside him, it was someone Han Lingxi didn't want to see very much at the moment.
Xiao Jin rushed to her desk in a hurry, the corners of her white skirt swaying back and forth in the air.
"Are you okay? I heard from Xiao Wang that you have arrived at the company, so I will come to you right away."
"I'm fine." Han Lingxi held her chin in annoyance, "What's wrong?"
If Xiao Jin wants to talk to her as usual, then she will immediately drive this woman away, and when she is not in a good mood, how can she have time to listen to her nonsense.
Xiao Jin looked around, leaned down to Han Lingxi's ear, and said to her in a low voice: "Hey, Xiao Han, let me tell you, you have to be careful of Mr. Wu."
"Mr. Wu?" Han Lingxi turned around in surprise, "Why?"
"You didn't feel it? He was interested in you." Xiao Jin's expression was very serious, "It was Mr. Wu who invited everyone to dinner at Jin Kelly the night before, and got many people drunk. I couldn't drink it at the time, so I changed it secretly. Coke. Hey, do you remember what happened?"
Han Lingxi intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with her, so she shook her head and said, "I was drunk, what happened next?"
Xiao Jin slapped the table, "I think you are drunk and not sober! At that time, Mr. Wu pestered you and asked you to clink glasses with him all the time. Your cheeks turned red and you swayed from side to side. He was very happy beside him. I saw Mr. Wu kept drinking I was touching you, and then I stretched out my arms to wrap your shoulders, I really couldn't stand it, so I went over and said to help you go to the bathroom."
Wu Zibo had unreasonable thoughts about herself. Han Lingxi knew from the first day she joined the company that she despised this kind of man and tried to keep a distance from him. Afraid to pay attention to his words and deeds, but everyone was a little drunk last night, did he take advantage of the chaos?Could it be that he sent himself back to the room and then...
Thinking of this idea, Han Lingxi felt disgusted, and immediately shook her head to drive this disgusting possibility out of her head. She suppressed her anxiety and asked tentatively: "Then what happened later, you sent me to the hotel room to rest ?”
Xiao Jin shook his head, "I followed you to the bathroom and said I was waiting for you at the door, but I couldn't wait for you. Go in and see if it's empty. You probably walked away from the other side."
The clue was broken again, Han Lingxi was a little restless, she covered her face in distress, her intestines were green with regret, Han Lingxi, Han Lingxi, you really dug a hole for yourself to jump.
Just as she was regretting, she heard a commotion outside, and then, a woman came in aggressively, calling out names while cursing: "Who is Han Lingxi, come out!"
Xiao Jin was very surprised, "Isn't this Mr. Wu's wife? Why is she here at the company?"
Wu Zibo rushed up from behind the woman to stop her, "Hey, hey, wife, let me tell you to calm down, stop messing around, and come home with me first?"
Mrs. Wu pushed Wu Zibo arbitrarily, and her sharp roar almost shattered the glass of the office, "You still know how to be ashamed, and if you know how to be ashamed, you wouldn't do such a thing behind my back! Han Lingxi, Han Lingxi, you vixen, Stand up for me!"
Xiao Jin turned pale in shock, and looked at Han Lingxi, "Is she here to look for you? No, Mrs. Wu probably heard some gossip and thought that you were having an affair with Mr. Wu and was coming to trouble you. You should hide quickly to avoid this Crazy woman is doing things that are rude to you on her head!"
She got up and went to pull Han Lingxi, but Han Lingxi sat still, if she avoided the accusation of "fox spirit" that Mrs. Wu said was equivalent to acquiescing, the whole office building would know that she had an "affair" with Wu Zibo in three days.She will not deny what Han Lingxi has done, but if she has not done it, she will definitely not take the blame for others. What's more, she wants to know what happened more than anyone else.
Mrs. Wu caught sight of Han Lingxi among her colleagues who were watching the excitement. Seeing her coquettish appearance and sitting outside Xiao Mo's office, she guessed that it was Xiao Mo's secretary Han Lingxi. "You are Han Lingxi, you dare to wait for me here after doing something wrong, very good, really shameless!"
"Mrs. Wu, everyone is a well-cultivated and qualified person. If you say such vulgar words, are you not afraid that others will think you are unqualified?" Han Lingxi became very calm. She knew that the other party was only trying to vent her emotions. The more flustered she becomes, the more arrogant she will become.
Meeting Mrs. Wu's eyes expressionlessly, she said neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't understand, why did you come to the company to ask questions."
"Wife, wife, it has nothing to do with Xiao Han. I have a superior-subordinate relationship with her. Don't make excuses," Wu Zibo comforted, sweating profusely, "I beg you, I admit my mistake to you, can you go back with me ?”
"shut up!"
Mrs. Wu sternly scolded Wu Zibo, "You still protect her in front of me? You feel bad, don't you? If you knew you were wrong, you would have admitted it long ago. Go out to steal food while I'm not at home. If it wasn't for the monitoring at home, I wouldn't I know you haven't come home for several days!"
She glanced at Han Lingxi contemptuously, and said in a weird tone: "Someone from your company told me that I saw you and this little elf in the same room at the Kinkelly Hotel the night before yesterday. How about wearing the clothes I gave you? Meeting lovers outside, isn't it very exciting?"
Han Lingxi was startled, and stood up from the chair directly, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Wu Zibo looked at Han Lingxi in a panic, and accused Mrs. Wu: "You, why are you talking too much..."
Mrs. Wu has no time to take care of Wu Zibo, she has already been irritated by Han Lingxi's tough attitude, "You are shameless to intervene as a third party, dare to talk to me with this attitude, this company belongs to my brother-in-law, what capital do you have as a little secretary?" ?”
She raised her hand and called out to Han Lingxi, but was held by Han Lingxi. She was also very angry at this arrogant woman, "Mrs. Wu, people belong to you, and this matter is also your housework. If you don't feel ashamed, I have no problem. But I feel ashamed, let me tell you, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's your inability to manage your husband, but please don't vent your anger on irrelevant people!"
"You...you...you still dare to be stubborn until now. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know your last name!"
Reluctantly raising her other hand, she was caught the second time. Mrs. Wu angrily turned her face to see who was so bold as to stop her, but she met a pair of piercing eyes.
Han Lingxi froze in place, she did not expect Zhou Tingyu to appear at this moment, but the woman standing quietly behind Mrs. Wu was clearly Zhou Tingyu.She is wearing a white coat with ruffled leaves today, and her collarbone is decorated with a crystal necklace, which makes her skin more delicate like porcelain. An innate sense of tranquility.
She just stood quietly, and easily took all of Han Lingxi's eyes away, as if she was attracted, making her gaze fixed on the other's face and unable to move away.
Zhou Tingyu's eyes crossed the crowd's and met Han Lingxi's. There was a trace of gentleness in his eyes, as if to appease Han Lingxi's emotions, and then he looked at Mrs. Wu with a cold expression.
"What do you think of her being with me the night before yesterday?"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar around, and Mrs. Wu obviously didn't believe it, "Don't fool me, the others said the truth, and besides, why didn't I know that the two of you have made up your mind?"
"Director Zhou has nothing to do with Secretary Han on weekdays, so why is there any reason to speak up for an irrelevant subordinate," Xiao Jin interjected, "I believe she would not do such a thing."
"Director Zhou has no need to lie." A woman squeezed out of the crowd was Li Lin, and she glared angrily at Mrs. Wu defending Han Lingxi, "Because Lingxi is not that kind of woman at all, Mrs. Wu, you beat people indiscriminately." , Is it too much?"
"Yeah...that's..."
Everyone's discussion made Mrs. Wu a little guilty, she wanted to withdraw her hand first, but she didn't know that the woman in front of her seemed weak, but she was very strong, tightly restraining her wrist, which made her painful.
"Let go!"
Zhou Tingyu's face was calm and breezy, but the gloom in her eyes revealed her emotions, making Han Lingxi suspect that the fleeting gentle gaze just now was just an illusion.This is the difference between ice and fire, the difference is too much, she never knew that Zhou Tingyu would be so angry.
"I don't know who framed Lingxi so despicably. Lingxi was drunk. I met her when I went to Kim Kelly to find Mr. Xiao and sent her back to the room to rest. Mr. Xiao can testify to this. Surveillance records can also testify. If you don't believe it, you can check it as you like. But Mrs. Wu, if everything is a misunderstanding, please be responsible for what you said and publicly apologize to Lingxi. You have no right to trample on other people's dignity. "
"What are you doing?"
A deep male voice sounded, and the people around stepped back to make way for both sides. Xiao Mo walked over with a livid face, and Mrs. Wu's momentum immediately dropped a lot, "Sister, brother-in-law..."
"Thinking that I can mess around here without me, isn't that shameful enough? I picked Xiao Han. Do you know her character better than me? Do you suspect that she is doubting me?"
"I, I didn't mean that..."
Xiao Mo's expression was stern, he glared at Wu Zibo, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take your wife back?!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Wu Zibo nodded and bowed, leading Mrs. Wu to leave in a desperate manner, and the people around were afraid of the presence of the big boss, and quickly retreated.
Xiao Mo patted Han Lingxi on the shoulder and apologized to her, "You have been wronged, I will handle this matter, don't take it to heart."
Han Lingxi shook her head, and looked at Zhou Tingyu subconsciously. She never thought that this woman would lie to help her clear her suspicions.A certain part of the soil in the bottom of my heart was loose and peeled off, so that Han Lingxi could no longer remain indifferent. She always appeared in critical moments, like a ray of sunshine illuminating the darkness, and took herself out of the predicament. There was power that she could not predict in her thin body.
"Ting Yu...I..."
The indifference in Zhou Tingyu's eyes deterred Han Lingxi, the woman was silent for a few seconds, then turned and left.
How much she wanted to catch up with her at this moment, but with Xiao Mo present, Han Lingxi could only stand behind Zhou Tingyu, watching that thin figure go further and further away, all kinds of feelings went through her heart.

☆, belongings
"That... that day, I want to thank you."
Han Lingxi stood in the kitchen, facing the busy Zhou Tingyu, but Zhou Tingyu only gave her a back view.
Ever since Wu Zibo's birthday party, Zhou Tingyu has fought a cold war with herself, and it is still a protracted war. When she sees her, she is either expressionless or ignores her as transparent. She has tried to communicate with Zhou Tingyu many times, and the other party either cares about herself He didn't say a word about the matter, or he just walked away and didn't dump anyone.
There is a kind of sadness called "can't grasp the front", there is a kind of emotion called "pretend not to see", and there is a kind of retribution called "feng shui turns", she Han Lingxi used to blow beard and stare at Zhou Tingyu at every turn, but this time Zhou Tingyu sneered at her in turn, It can be regarded as treating the person in the same way as the person.
Even if Han Lingxi felt regretful and wronged, she could only blame herself. These days, Zhou Tingyu's attitude was driving her crazy. A soft-spoken person suddenly turned into a hard lump of ice. The huge psychological gap made her really Unable to adapt.
"Thank you for lying for me in order to protect me..." Han Lingxi twitched, "But there is one thing I must tell you, Wu Zibo and I are really innocent, at least, at least I don't have any thoughts about him."
"Didn't you say you were going to spend the night with Aunt Fenglan?"
Zhou Tingyu spoke suddenly, she turned around and put the prepared cold dishes on the table, and then went to the refrigerator to get other ingredients.
Han Lingxi followed her out of the kitchen, and explained bravely, "I'm sorry, I lied to you, but I have something to hide..."
"Is there any unspeakable secret that needs to lie to me?"
"I, that, I can't say now." Han Lingxi bit her lower lip. She had to figure out what was going on by herself before she could explain what happened to Zhou Tingyu.
When she came home that day and saw the hickey on her neck, it must be because of Zhou Tingyu that she was so angry.Han Lingxi also checked herself later, except for the single hickey mark, there was nothing abnormal in other places.If her innocence is still there, then she can speak the truth to Zhou Tingyu with confidence, but if something happens to her, she won't cheat Zhou Tingyu again in the end. Han Lingxi doesn't want Zhou Tingyu to be hurt again because of her lies.
Zhou Tingyu didn't even look at her, turned around and walked back to the kitchen, his tone was still cold, "Since you have nothing to say to me, then I only believe what I see and hear."
"I really have nothing to do with Wu Zibo."
Han Lingxi followed in again, and blurted out in a hurry, "I don't care what other people think, but if you think of me that way, I will definitely not accept it. Don't you understand me?"
Zhou Tingyu cleaned the cabbage, peeled off the outer leaves, and took it to the chopping board. The kitchen knife rose and fell, making regular sounds.
Unable to bear her behavior of treating herself like air anymore, Han Lingxi pulled Zhou Tingyu's arm forward, "Zhou Tingyu! Can you listen to me carefully? What is your attitude like this?! I—"
The arm was ruthlessly thrown away, and her eyes suddenly turned black. Almost at the same time, Han Lingxi felt a gust of wind blowing above her head, making her hair flutter.Han Lingxi, who had a premonition of danger, instinctively stepped back and bumped into the kitchen wall, and after a muffled sound, a slender thing appeared above her head.
That's...Zhou Tingyu's right leg...
Zhou Tingyu is not only good at cold violence, but also good at real violence.
Han Lingxi was indeed frightened, she stared at Zhou Tingyu in surprise, "You, you... what are you doing?"
Zhou Tingyu slowly retracted her raised right leg, her body was so soft that Han Lingxi suspected that it was not her leg at all, otherwise how could she stretch it to that extent.
I saw Zhou Tingyu's face was as usual, and his lips parted slightly: "Bug."
Turning her face to look at the tile she had just stepped on, besides a vague slipper print, there was also a stuffed mosquito stuck to it.
Han Lingxi looked at the bright mosquito blood in horror. She didn't see how the other party made this attack at all, but judging from the strength of the woman's body turning and the speed of the wind swept by her feet just now, as well as the impact on the The sound of the tiles on the wall made Zhou Tingyu definitely want to stomp himself flat.
She came to believe that what people said was the supreme truth: that a man with a good temper can be terrible if he is angry.
Zhou Tingyu's good temper does not mean that she has no temper. She has her own bottom line and limit. Once she is touched by others, it will cause very serious consequences.Being able to see the other side that others can't see, Han Lingxi doesn't know if this is her own luck or her own bad luck.
Exiting the kitchen in frustration, Han Lingxi sat back on the sofa. Can she understand Zhou Tingyu's behavior as a deep love and hatred?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Jiang Ziying handed the string of beads to Zhou Tingyu, "This is what you dropped that day, I put it away for you, I think it should be very important."
On the night of Wu Zibo's birthday party, Zhou Tingyu actually went to a client. He was Jiang Ziying's old friend and was introduced by Jiang Ziying. That's why Zhou Tingyu went with Jiang Ziying. But in the second half, Zhou Tingyu left due to business and dropped his bracelet in a hurry. on the chair.
"Thank you, my mother asked for it for me when she went to Nanshan to offer incense." Zhou Tingyu took it and put it away, and smiled at Jiang Ziying, "To express my gratitude, I invite this meal."
"you……"
Jiang Ziying looked at Zhou Tingyu and hesitated to speak. She actually wanted to ask Zhou Tingyu why she had never worn the bracelet and earrings he gave her. If she really asked, how would Zhou Tingyu explain it? Did she not like it or did she know it? Do you care about her feelings for her?
Either of these two reasons will definitely make me uncomfortable, not to mention asking such a question, it is tantamount to lowering my status in front of Zhou Tingyu again, telling Zhou Tingyu that she cares about her, since knowing that it is meaningless, So why bother yourself.
Jiang Ziying picked up the goblet and shook it lightly, causing the wine to ripple round and round on the side of the cup.
How many people have ever wanted to use the power of alcohol to lose themselves for a short time, in exchange for a chance to get closer, if she was drunk here, if she sent an invitation to Zhou Tingyu with her drunkenness, would this woman be bewitched, even if it was Have a little pity?
I'm afraid the most he can do is send himself home, leave her on the cold bed, make a cup of hot sober tea and leave.
Love must have a response. If the other party doesn't care at all, then no matter how much effort you make, it will be futile.
The corners of the mouth were raised, but the smile was bitter.
That day, she claimed Zhou Tingyu's flower pot and took in the unintentional seed. Even though she gave it fertile soil and abundant water, the small sprout withered quickly.What Zhou Tingyu said was right, its arrival was an accident, it could germinate, but it was destined not to blossom and bear fruit.
Just like this woman's attitude towards her own relationship, even if she is full of joy and expectation, and takes root of this love, patiently caressing it, without Zhou Tingyu providing the soil and moisture for survival, she will eventually fail.
Her heart is as empty as this flowerpot to herself, or in other words, another seed has already been planted in her heart.
That seed is called Han Lingxi.
With Zhou Tingyu's careful care and sweet water from time to time, can that seed take root, germinate, and even grow delicate flowers?
Raising his neck, he drank the wine in the glass. Jiang Zi tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhou Tingyu with a smile on his face, "By the way, did you and Lingxi have a fight? I'll go find you today, let's go together You met her on the road, she was looking at you, but you pretended not to see her, what's the matter?"
Zhou Tingyu's eyebrows trembled, he shook his head and said softly, "I just want some people to be punished for their actions."
After having dinner with Jiang Ziying, Zhou Tingyu said goodbye to her and drove home.
Forget it, Mr. Wu originally said that he would give everyone a holiday today, and besides, everyone drank too much last night. If there are a few who can go to the company to continue working, it is better to go home first, so as not to make mother call frantically again Come bomb.
Glancing at the missed call notification symbol at the top of the screen, Han Lingxi just wanted to see who had called, when the phone beeped twice to announce that the battery was exhausted, and it automatically shut down.
Alas, let's go back first.
After tidying up her long and rough hair, Han Lingxi went to the bathroom to wash up.There are disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste in the hotel. Although it is not as easy to use at home, it is tolerable for just one time.
While lazily brushing her teeth, she continued to rub her swollen temples. She felt that the right side of her neck was not comfortable, and she would feel sore when she touched it. She guessed if she had slumped to and fro last night, so she opened her collar to check.
Lifting the collar, there was a glaring red mark on the covered piece of snow-white skin.
Han Lingxi stood stiffly on the spot as if struck by lightning. She was already a mature woman who was about to run away, so how could she not know how the marks were made, but why didn't she have the slightest impression?
Her heartbeat continued to accelerate at this moment, she took off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror to check around, but fortunately, except for the one on her neck, there were no traces anywhere else.
Could it be that he really did something irrational while drunk last night?Who was it that sent him back to his room?
After taking a simple shower to wash away the alcohol smell from her body, Han Lingxi packed up and fled the hotel quickly, and returned home feeling uneasy, her mother was already sitting in the living room waiting.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Squeezing the fastened neckline, Han Lingxi brushed her hair unnaturally twice, that place was covered by the neckline and covered by her hair, so it should not be seen.
"Hey, Ran Ran, come on, come on, it's just in time for you to come back."
Zhang Fenglan waved to her daughter with a smile on her face, let her sit beside her, and said, "Mom and Dad have something to discuss with you."
"Well," Han Lingxi nodded and asked. Seeing the freshly brewed tea on the table, she felt even more dry, so she poured a cup and took a long gulp.
"what's up?"
Zhang Fenglan glanced at Han Xu who was sitting on the side, and kicked him with her toes.Han Xu spread his hands with a distressed expression, shook his head and turned his head in another direction.
These interactions fell into Han Lingxi's eyes, and she asked suspiciously: "What are you doing, what are you going to tell me?"
"Oh, it's really not a big deal." Zhang Fenglan gave Han Xu a hard look, and then became amiable when facing her daughter, "Ran Ran, Mom and Dad just want to ask you, how are you doing?"
"pretty good."
"Is there anything unusual?"
"No."
"Is everything normal? Nothing else?"
"what?"
Han Lingxi understood from her mother's insinuations that her point was not to ask herself if she had a good time, but to ask if there was any new progress in her emotional problems.
"Ran Ran, you see that you are old and not young. You are always unstable, and there is no way to do it. It's okay to fall in love a few times when you are young, but now, it should be for the purpose of marriage, and you still need to find a reliable one. of."
Zhang Fenglan picked up a small folder that was placed on the table just now and handed it to Han Lingxi, "Your aunt Liu helped me find it. I have read the boy's profile and feel that his family conditions and his own conditions are not bad. You Let's see, if possible... meet him first?"
"You want me to go on a blind date?"
Zhang Fenglan already had something on her mind, but Zhang Fenglan's mention of a blind date at this time made Han Lingxi even more anxious. She pushed the document away impatiently, "Mom, it's not that your daughter is no longer wanted. Is it so bad that you need to arrange a blind date?"
"It's not that no one wants it. If there are too many people who want it, it's blinding." Zhang Fenglan scolded, "You go around and think that your mother doesn't know. , the purpose is different, and the meaning of dating will also change. None of the boyfriends you dated took home to show me, and how many of them lasted? Lingxi, beautiful girls are an advantage, but you can’t Taking love as a trifling matter, it lets others know that they don’t know what to think of you.”
She paused and added: "I know this boy before, and I have an acquaintance to connect with him, so I know him well. Go and meet him when you have time, and he won't let you down."
"I won't go." Han Lingxi refused flatly, "I am sure about the relationship, so you and Dad don't bother."
"Just going to see him won't lose any meat, no loss, why are you so stubborn!"
"Mom, I've been too busy with work recently, can you let me stop?" Han Lingxi had a headache, "Let's talk about this matter slowly."
Parents and children are always two generations, with different visions.In Han Lingxi's eyes, those excellent and reliable resources are just crooked melons and cracked dates. This is the generation gap.Besides, the emotional entanglement between her and Zhou Tingyu has not been cleared up, and she is too busy to take care of herself, so she doesn't have the heart to support others.
"Okay, let's talk slowly, Ran Ran, you haven't had lunch yet, let's go eat."
Han Xu pulled Zhang Fenglan, "Daughter, please take it easy and bring it up in a few days. You can't be in a hurry for this kind of thing. It's not like you don't know her character. If you are in a hurry, the chance of meeting her is even slimmer." gone."
Although Zhang Fenglan was unhappy, she also knew that what her husband said was true, so she had to put the matter on hold for now.
Han Lingxi left after having lunch at her parents' house. When she got home, she found that the door was only locked.
There is someone at home, Zhou Tingyu is back?
It was only at this moment that she suddenly remembered that she was drunk and fell asleep in the hotel room last night, and she didn't tell Zhou Tingyu at all about not going back.
Guiltyly opened the door and walked into the living room, Zhou Tingyu was sitting on the sofa with his back to the door, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around and cast a deep look, the expression on his face made Han Lingxi feel that the aura around him was not right.
Her usual mild eyebrows and eyes are now frosted, and Han Lingxi knows that the other party is angry even if she is not sober.
"where did you go?"
Zhou Tingyu's calm and deep voice sounded in the quiet living room, and even speaking was much stiffer than usual...
"I... um... President Wu celebrated his birthday yesterday. You know, I drank a lot. Then I went directly to my mother's place to spend the night. Her house is near the hotel."
Han Lingxi lied, put on her shoes and walked to Zhou Tingyu's side.
"I called your phone, but it didn't go through."
"My phone turned off automatically when it ran out of power." Han Lingxi explained that Zhou Tingyu probably made the missed calls on her phone. She must be very anxious if she didn't go back last night.
"Sorry to worry you, I'm fine."
What is a guilty conscience? Meeting Zhou Tingyu's scrutinizing eyes, Han Lingxi subconsciously touched his collar again.Zhou Tingyu felt even more suspicious about this behavior of trying to cover up. She stared at Han Lingxi closely, "Aren't you hot?"
The temperature outside is high and the sun is shining. Han Lingxi came back from the outside with her buttons so tightly buttoned and her hair untied, which was very different from her usual habits.
"It's not hot." Han Lingxi denied it, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to the bedroom to catch up on sleep..."
However, Zhou Tingyu had already walked towards her, "Let me see."
"What are you looking at, it's really all right."
Han Lingxi retreated immediately as if facing a formidable enemy. Zhou Tingyu grabbed her wrist and unbuttoned her with the other hand. Of course Han Lingxi resisted. During the dispute, Han Lingxi stepped on the heel of her slippers and staggered and fell, trying to hold Zhou Tingyu He kept his balance on the cuff, and finally fell on the carpet with Zhou Tingyu.
This knock was not light, even though it was covered by a carpet, it still hurt Han Lingxi's waist. When she raised her head and saw Zhou Tingyu hanging above her with her arms propped up, she somehow felt that this scene looked familiar.
Zhou Tingyu had already parted her long hair and pulled down her collar, and was also taken aback when he saw the red mark on Han Lingxi's neck.
"Have you nothing to explain to me?"
Explain, explain what, her client was so drunk last night that her brain froze, she didn't know what happened, so how could she explain it to the other party?
Han Lingxi opened Zhou Tingyu's hand in a panic, "I can handle my affairs by myself, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about it."
As soon as she said the words, she regretted it, because she clearly saw Zhou Tingyu's body froze for a moment. If she was angry just now, she was still worried, but now Zhou Tingyu's eyes were completely cold.
"Okay, I don't care. I don't care about your affairs in the future."
Zhou Tingyu quickly got up and went into the bedroom, closing the door with a bang.Han Lingxi lowered her head remorsefully, it's over, this time she really messed with her.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After a difficult night, Han Lingxi went to work listlessly. When she walked to the door, she was bumped into by Wang Jun. He immediately came up to her, "Sister Lingxi!"
Han Lingxi didn't bother to talk to him, and continued to walk forward, "What's wrong?"
"Are you okay, you drank so much that night."
"fine."
"That's good, I've been worrying about you. Do you know...you slapped me the other night?"
"Ah, what?"
Han Lingxi's back was stiff, she stopped and asked in surprise, "Did I hit you last night?"
"Yeah," Wang Jun nodded straightly, "Last night you drank too much and said you were going home. I asked you if it's okay, if you want to call a car for you, you smiled and told me no, you can do it yourself, and turned around. Raising your hand is a slap!"
He taught that movement to Han Lingxi while he was talking. Han Lingxi used her toes to think about it and knew that she was drunk and insane. She didn't want to know the details of such a shameful thing!
Pressing down on Wang Jun's hand with a red face, Han Lingxi turned to think, "Wang Jun, what happened later, do you know who sent me to the hotel room to rest?"
"Then I don't know, and then I kind of left beforehand."
Wang Jun was still excited, "But having said that, Sister Lingxi, you smiled so charmingly that night, I wanted to kiss you so much, tsk tsk, for the beauty's smile, it's worth the slap..."
"..."
Han Lingxi understood that it was useless to ask any more questions, probably the little kid was only concerned with being a nympho at that time.But according to his description, Han Lingxi realized the meaningful smiles of some colleagues on the way when he came here. Could it be that he drank too much and did a lot of embarrassing things?
She raised her hand to cover half of her face in embarrassment, and now it's better to withdraw first.
☆, the visitor is not good
"Director, your coffee."
Lili put the cup beside Zhou Tingyu's hand, "I put it here."
"Well, thank you."
While staring at the computer, Zhou Tingyu lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip.
"Hiss—cough cough..."
Lili turned around and was about to go out, but when she heard Zhou Tingyu's cry of pain, she guessed that the coffee she picked up was scalding, so she immediately turned around and went back to hand her a tissue, apologizing guiltily: "I'm sorry, sorry, is it hot? Arrived? It’s all my fault! Don’t even see if it’s too hot!”
Zhou Tingyu took the tissue and wiped off the coffee from his lips, finally managed to breathe smoothly, waved his hand to comfort Lili, "I choked on myself, it has nothing to do with you."
She frowned and pressed her lips with a bent index finger, still looking uncomfortable.
After the lipstick was wiped off, Lili realized that Zhou Tingyu's lower lip was a bit swollen, and there was a tiny wound on it, probably because of the pain caused by drinking hot coffee.
She blinked her eyes and took a closer look, and asked strangely, "Hey...Director, why are your lips broken?"
"I accidentally bit it." Zhou Tingyu smiled at her, "It's okay, you can go out and do some work first, Lili."
"Oh, okay, then you should be careful when you eat and drink. It hurts to have a broken lip. Last time I had a mouth ulcer, which was so painful that I couldn't open my mouth."
"Well, I see, thanks."
Zhou Tingyu maintained the posture of stroking her lips, and did not let go until Lili closed the door to leave. She glanced at the coffee on the table, her black eyebrows slowly relaxed, she sat up straight and sighed.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Facing a thick stack of copies, Han Lingxi was really not in the mood to tidy up.
Although his colleagues looked at him strangely along the way, that was not the focus of Han Lingxi's attention.She didn't get along with some people in the company. She got drunk and went crazy and made a fool of herself. Naturally, some people gloated. She didn't mind the attitudes and opinions of these passers-by A. What she cared about was the truth of that night and Zhou Tingyu's attitude towards her.
How would Zhou Tingyu think of her? How would she think of her, a frivolous woman who was drunk and stayed out at night and messed around with others?Han Lingxi absolutely does not accept this kind of evaluation.Then in order to clear up the misunderstanding and explain to Zhou Tingyu, confess that he was actually drunk and didn't know what happened?Then she either thinks she is lying, or she thinks she is an idiot with low IQ.
"Hey, Xiao Han!"
A familiar voice sounded beside him, it was someone Han Lingxi didn't want to see very much at the moment.
Xiao Jin rushed to her desk in a hurry, the corners of her white skirt swaying back and forth in the air.
"Are you okay? I heard from Xiao Wang that you have arrived at the company, so I will come to you right away."
"I'm fine." Han Lingxi held her chin in annoyance, "What's wrong?"
If Xiao Jin wants to talk to her as usual, then she will immediately drive this woman away, and when she is not in a good mood, how can she have time to listen to her nonsense.
Xiao Jin looked around, leaned down to Han Lingxi's ear, and said to her in a low voice: "Hey, Xiao Han, let me tell you, you have to be careful of Mr. Wu."
"Mr. Wu?" Han Lingxi turned around in surprise, "Why?"
"You didn't feel it? He was interested in you." Xiao Jin's expression was very serious, "It was Mr. Wu who invited everyone to dinner at Jin Kelly the night before, and got many people drunk. I couldn't drink it at the time, so I changed it secretly. Coke. Hey, do you remember what happened?"
Han Lingxi intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with her, so she shook her head and said, "I was drunk, what happened next?"
Xiao Jin slapped the table, "I think you are drunk and not sober! At that time, Mr. Wu pestered you and asked you to clink glasses with him all the time. Your cheeks turned red and you swayed from side to side. He was very happy beside him. I saw Mr. Wu kept drinking I was touching you, and then I stretched out my arms to wrap your shoulders, I really couldn't stand it, so I went over and said to help you go to the bathroom."
Wu Zibo had unreasonable thoughts about herself. Han Lingxi knew from the first day she joined the company that she despised this kind of man and tried to keep a distance from him. Afraid to pay attention to his words and deeds, but everyone was a little drunk last night, did he take advantage of the chaos?Could it be that he sent himself back to the room and then...
Thinking of this idea, Han Lingxi felt disgusted, and immediately shook her head to drive this disgusting possibility out of her head. She suppressed her anxiety and asked tentatively: "Then what happened later, you sent me to the hotel room to rest ?”
Xiao Jin shook his head, "I followed you to the bathroom and said I was waiting for you at the door, but I couldn't wait for you. Go in and see if it's empty. You probably walked away from the other side."
The clue was broken again, Han Lingxi was a little restless, she covered her face in distress, her intestines were green with regret, Han Lingxi, Han Lingxi, you really dug a hole for yourself to jump.
Just as she was regretting, she heard a commotion outside, and then, a woman came in aggressively, calling out names while cursing: "Who is Han Lingxi, come out!"
Xiao Jin was very surprised, "Isn't this Mr. Wu's wife? Why is she here at the company?"
Wu Zibo rushed up from behind the woman to stop her, "Hey, hey, wife, let me tell you to calm down, stop messing around, and come home with me first?"
Mrs. Wu pushed Wu Zibo arbitrarily, and her sharp roar almost shattered the glass of the office, "You still know how to be ashamed, and if you know how to be ashamed, you wouldn't do such a thing behind my back! Han Lingxi, Han Lingxi, you vixen, Stand up for me!"
Xiao Jin turned pale in shock, and looked at Han Lingxi, "Is she here to look for you? No, Mrs. Wu probably heard some gossip and thought that you were having an affair with Mr. Wu and was coming to trouble you. You should hide quickly to avoid this Crazy woman is doing things that are rude to you on her head!"
She got up and went to pull Han Lingxi, but Han Lingxi sat still, if she avoided the accusation of "fox spirit" that Mrs. Wu said was equivalent to acquiescing, the whole office building would know that she had an "affair" with Wu Zibo in three days.She will not deny what Han Lingxi has done, but if she has not done it, she will definitely not take the blame for others. What's more, she wants to know what happened more than anyone else.
Mrs. Wu caught sight of Han Lingxi among her colleagues who were watching the excitement. Seeing her coquettish appearance and sitting outside Xiao Mo's office, she guessed that it was Xiao Mo's secretary Han Lingxi. "You are Han Lingxi, you dare to wait for me here after doing something wrong, very good, really shameless!"
"Mrs. Wu, everyone is a well-cultivated and qualified person. If you say such vulgar words, are you not afraid that others will think you are unqualified?" Han Lingxi became very calm. She knew that the other party was only trying to vent her emotions. The more flustered she becomes, the more arrogant she will become.
Meeting Mrs. Wu's eyes expressionlessly, she said neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't understand, why did you come to the company to ask questions."
"Wife, wife, it has nothing to do with Xiao Han. I have a superior-subordinate relationship with her. Don't make excuses," Wu Zibo comforted, sweating profusely, "I beg you, I admit my mistake to you, can you go back with me ?”
"shut up!"
Mrs. Wu sternly scolded Wu Zibo, "You still protect her in front of me? You feel bad, don't you? If you knew you were wrong, you would have admitted it long ago. Go out to steal food while I'm not at home. If it wasn't for the monitoring at home, I wouldn't I know you haven't come home for several days!"
She glanced at Han Lingxi contemptuously, and said in a weird tone: "Someone from your company told me that I saw you and this little elf in the same room at the Kinkelly Hotel the night before yesterday. How about wearing the clothes I gave you? Meeting lovers outside, isn't it very exciting?"
Han Lingxi was startled, and stood up from the chair directly, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Wu Zibo looked at Han Lingxi in a panic, and accused Mrs. Wu: "You, why are you talking too much..."
Mrs. Wu has no time to take care of Wu Zibo, she has already been irritated by Han Lingxi's tough attitude, "You are shameless to intervene as a third party, dare to talk to me with this attitude, this company belongs to my brother-in-law, what capital do you have as a little secretary?" ?”
She raised her hand and called out to Han Lingxi, but was held by Han Lingxi. She was also very angry at this arrogant woman, "Mrs. Wu, people belong to you, and this matter is also your housework. If you don't feel ashamed, I have no problem. But I feel ashamed, let me tell you, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's your inability to manage your husband, but please don't vent your anger on irrelevant people!"
"You...you...you still dare to be stubborn until now. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know your last name!"
Reluctantly raising her other hand, she was caught the second time. Mrs. Wu angrily turned her face to see who was so bold as to stop her, but she met a pair of piercing eyes.
Han Lingxi froze in place, she did not expect Zhou Tingyu to appear at this moment, but the woman standing quietly behind Mrs. Wu was clearly Zhou Tingyu.She is wearing a white coat with ruffled leaves today, and her collarbone is decorated with a crystal necklace, which makes her skin more delicate like porcelain. An innate sense of tranquility.
She just stood quietly, and easily took all of Han Lingxi's eyes away, as if she was attracted, making her gaze fixed on the other's face and unable to move away.
Zhou Tingyu's eyes crossed the crowd's and met Han Lingxi's. There was a trace of gentleness in his eyes, as if to appease Han Lingxi's emotions, and then he looked at Mrs. Wu with a cold expression.
"What do you think of her being with me the night before yesterday?"
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar around, and Mrs. Wu obviously didn't believe it, "Don't fool me, the others said the truth, and besides, why didn't I know that the two of you have made up your mind?"
"Director Zhou has nothing to do with Secretary Han on weekdays, so why is there any reason to speak up for an irrelevant subordinate," Xiao Jin interjected, "I believe she would not do such a thing."
"Director Zhou has no need to lie." A woman squeezed out of the crowd was Li Lin, and she glared angrily at Mrs. Wu defending Han Lingxi, "Because Lingxi is not that kind of woman at all, Mrs. Wu, you beat people indiscriminately." , Is it too much?"
"Yeah...that's..."
Everyone's discussion made Mrs. Wu a little guilty, she wanted to withdraw her hand first, but she didn't know that the woman in front of her seemed weak, but she was very strong, tightly restraining her wrist, which made her painful.
"Let go!"
Zhou Tingyu's face was calm and breezy, but the gloom in her eyes revealed her emotions, making Han Lingxi suspect that the fleeting gentle gaze just now was just an illusion.This is the difference between ice and fire, the difference is too much, she never knew that Zhou Tingyu would be so angry.
"I don't know who framed Lingxi so despicably. Lingxi was drunk. I met her when I went to Kim Kelly to find Mr. Xiao and sent her back to the room to rest. Mr. Xiao can testify to this. Surveillance records can also testify. If you don't believe it, you can check it as you like. But Mrs. Wu, if everything is a misunderstanding, please be responsible for what you said and publicly apologize to Lingxi. You have no right to trample on other people's dignity. "
"What are you doing?"
A deep male voice sounded, and the people around stepped back to make way for both sides. Xiao Mo walked over with a livid face, and Mrs. Wu's momentum immediately dropped a lot, "Sister, brother-in-law..."
"Thinking that I can mess around here without me, isn't that shameful enough? I picked Xiao Han. Do you know her character better than me? Do you suspect that she is doubting me?"
"I, I didn't mean that..."
Xiao Mo's expression was stern, he glared at Wu Zibo, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take your wife back?!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Wu Zibo nodded and bowed, leading Mrs. Wu to leave in a desperate manner, and the people around were afraid of the presence of the big boss, and quickly retreated.
Xiao Mo patted Han Lingxi on the shoulder and apologized to her, "You have been wronged, I will handle this matter, don't take it to heart."
Han Lingxi shook her head, and looked at Zhou Tingyu subconsciously. She never thought that this woman would lie to help her clear her suspicions.A certain part of the soil in the bottom of my heart was loose and peeled off, so that Han Lingxi could no longer remain indifferent. She always appeared in critical moments, like a ray of sunshine illuminating the darkness, and took herself out of the predicament. There was power that she could not predict in her thin body.
"Ting Yu...I..."
The indifference in Zhou Tingyu's eyes deterred Han Lingxi, the woman was silent for a few seconds, then turned and left.
How much she wanted to catch up with her at this moment, but with Xiao Mo present, Han Lingxi could only stand behind Zhou Tingyu, watching that thin figure go further and further away, all kinds of feelings went through her heart.

☆, belongings
"That... that day, I want to thank you."
Han Lingxi stood in the kitchen, facing the busy Zhou Tingyu, but Zhou Tingyu only gave her a back view.
Ever since Wu Zibo's birthday party, Zhou Tingyu has fought a cold war with herself, and it is still a protracted war. When she sees her, she is either expressionless or ignores her as transparent. She has tried to communicate with Zhou Tingyu many times, and the other party either cares about herself He didn't say a word about the matter, or he just walked away and didn't dump anyone.
There is a kind of sadness called "can't grasp the front", there is a kind of emotion called "pretend not to see", and there is a kind of retribution called "feng shui turns", she Han Lingxi used to blow beard and stare at Zhou Tingyu at every turn, but this time Zhou Tingyu sneered at her in turn, It can be regarded as treating the person in the same way as the person.
Even if Han Lingxi felt regretful and wronged, she could only blame herself. These days, Zhou Tingyu's attitude was driving her crazy. A soft-spoken person suddenly turned into a hard lump of ice. The huge psychological gap made her really Unable to adapt.
"Thank you for lying for me in order to protect me..." Han Lingxi twitched, "But there is one thing I must tell you, Wu Zibo and I are really innocent, at least, at least I don't have any thoughts about him."
"Didn't you say you were going to spend the night with Aunt Fenglan?"
Zhou Tingyu spoke suddenly, she turned around and put the prepared cold dishes on the table, and then went to the refrigerator to get other ingredients.
Han Lingxi followed her out of the kitchen, and explained bravely, "I'm sorry, I lied to you, but I have something to hide..."
"Is there any unspeakable secret that needs to lie to me?"
"I, that, I can't say now." Han Lingxi bit her lower lip. She had to figure out what was going on by herself before she could explain what happened to Zhou Tingyu.
When she came home that day and saw the hickey on her neck, it must be because of Zhou Tingyu that she was so angry.Han Lingxi also checked herself later, except for the single hickey mark, there was nothing abnormal in other places.If her innocence is still there, then she can speak the truth to Zhou Tingyu with confidence, but if something happens to her, she won't cheat Zhou Tingyu again in the end. Han Lingxi doesn't want Zhou Tingyu to be hurt again because of her lies.
Zhou Tingyu didn't even look at her, turned around and walked back to the kitchen, his tone was still cold, "Since you have nothing to say to me, then I only believe what I see and hear."
"I really have nothing to do with Wu Zibo."
Han Lingxi followed in again, and blurted out in a hurry, "I don't care what other people think, but if you think of me that way, I will definitely not accept it. Don't you understand me?"
Zhou Tingyu cleaned the cabbage, peeled off the outer leaves, and took it to the chopping board. The kitchen knife rose and fell, making regular sounds.
Unable to bear her behavior of treating herself like air anymore, Han Lingxi pulled Zhou Tingyu's arm forward, "Zhou Tingyu! Can you listen to me carefully? What is your attitude like this?! I—"
The arm was ruthlessly thrown away, and her eyes suddenly turned black. Almost at the same time, Han Lingxi felt a gust of wind blowing above her head, making her hair flutter.Han Lingxi, who had a premonition of danger, instinctively stepped back and bumped into the kitchen wall, and after a muffled sound, a slender thing appeared above her head.
That's...Zhou Tingyu's right leg...
Zhou Tingyu is not only good at cold violence, but also good at real violence.
Han Lingxi was indeed frightened, she stared at Zhou Tingyu in surprise, "You, you... what are you doing?"
Zhou Tingyu slowly retracted her raised right leg, her body was so soft that Han Lingxi suspected that it was not her leg at all, otherwise how could she stretch it to that extent.
I saw Zhou Tingyu's face was as usual, and his lips parted slightly: "Bug."
Turning her face to look at the tile she had just stepped on, besides a vague slipper print, there was also a stuffed mosquito stuck to it.
Han Lingxi looked at the bright mosquito blood in horror. She didn't see how the other party made this attack at all, but judging from the strength of the woman's body turning and the speed of the wind swept by her feet just now, as well as the impact on the The sound of the tiles on the wall made Zhou Tingyu definitely want to stomp himself flat.
She came to believe that what people said was the supreme truth: that a man with a good temper can be terrible if he is angry.
Zhou Tingyu's good temper does not mean that she has no temper. She has her own bottom line and limit. Once she is touched by others, it will cause very serious consequences.Being able to see the other side that others can't see, Han Lingxi doesn't know if this is her own luck or her own bad luck.
Exiting the kitchen in frustration, Han Lingxi sat back on the sofa. Can she understand Zhou Tingyu's behavior as a deep love and hatred?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Jiang Ziying handed the string of beads to Zhou Tingyu, "This is what you dropped that day, I put it away for you, I think it should be very important."
On the night of Wu Zibo's birthday party, Zhou Tingyu actually went to a client. He was Jiang Ziying's old friend and was introduced by Jiang Ziying. That's why Zhou Tingyu went with Jiang Ziying. But in the second half, Zhou Tingyu left due to business and dropped his bracelet in a hurry. on the chair.
"Thank you, my mother asked for it for me when she went to Nanshan to offer incense." Zhou Tingyu took it and put it away, and smiled at Jiang Ziying, "To express my gratitude, I invite this meal."
"you……"
Jiang Ziying looked at Zhou Tingyu and hesitated to speak. She actually wanted to ask Zhou Tingyu why she had never worn the bracelet and earrings he gave her. If she really asked, how would Zhou Tingyu explain it? Did she not like it or did she know it? Do you care about her feelings for her?
Either of these two reasons will definitely make me uncomfortable, not to mention asking such a question, it is tantamount to lowering my status in front of Zhou Tingyu again, telling Zhou Tingyu that she cares about her, since knowing that it is meaningless, So why bother yourself.
Jiang Ziying picked up the goblet and shook it lightly, causing the wine to ripple round and round on the side of the cup.
How many people have ever wanted to use the power of alcohol to lose themselves for a short time, in exchange for a chance to get closer, if she was drunk here, if she sent an invitation to Zhou Tingyu with her drunkenness, would this woman be bewitched, even if it was Have a little pity?
I'm afraid the most he can do is send himself home, leave her on the cold bed, make a cup of hot sober tea and leave.
Love must have a response. If the other party doesn't care at all, then no matter how much effort you make, it will be futile.
The corners of the mouth were raised, but the smile was bitter.
That day, she claimed Zhou Tingyu's flower pot and took in the unintentional seed. Even though she gave it fertile soil and abundant water, the small sprout withered quickly.What Zhou Tingyu said was right, its arrival was an accident, it could germinate, but it was destined not to blossom and bear fruit.
Just like this woman's attitude towards her own relationship, even if she is full of joy and expectation, and takes root of this love, patiently caressing it, without Zhou Tingyu providing the soil and moisture for survival, she will eventually fail.
Her heart is as empty as this flowerpot to herself, or in other words, another seed has already been planted in her heart.
That seed is called Han Lingxi.
With Zhou Tingyu's careful care and sweet water from time to time, can that seed take root, germinate, and even grow delicate flowers?
Raising his neck, he drank the wine in the glass. Jiang Zi tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhou Tingyu with a smile on his face, "By the way, did you and Lingxi have a fight? I'll go find you today, let's go together You met her on the road, she was looking at you, but you pretended not to see her, what's the matter?"
Zhou Tingyu's eyebrows trembled, he shook his head and said softly, "I just want some people to be punished for their actions."
After having dinner with Jiang Ziying, Zhou Tingyu said goodbye to her and drove home.
