Chapter 44 - The Wall of Brotherhood – 19 (1/2)
Bai Xun suddenly appeared, causing the two people at the scene to be agitated.
Lu Zhi Yao clenched his hands, he stood still, and his voice was a bit dry, “You’re back…”
“Xiao Xun, where have you been? Are you okay?” Lu Zhi Yuan was worried and walked quickly to her.
Bai Xun was still a little hesitant. She gave Lu Zhi Yuan a soothing smile, “I’m fine.”
Looking at Lu Zhi Yao, who stood motionless in the distance, Bai Xun turned pale and softly said, “Is what A’Yuan said true? President?”
Lu Zhi Yao’s eyes flashed slightly, and he didn’t speak.
Bai Xun slowly walked to Lu Zhi Yao that stood there, then looked up at him. There were little droplets of water in her eyes, like fine crystals, which looked as if they would fall in a blink of an eye.
“I have always regarded president as a role model during my struggles. Every word the president said, I have taken it as the standard. Only strong people could be fearless of rumors. The president has helped me so much that I can’t figure out how to repay…”
She whispered softly, trying to smile, but the tears kept falling.
“…But, it was all to deceive me? ….Was it to use me to deal with A’Yuan?”
She said these words with difficulty, the facts were in front of her eyes, but she still stubbornly looked at him, wanting an answer.
“No.” Lu Zhi Yao blurted out a little eagerly but paused. His voice was awkward. “All those words I said to you are true, and…”
Bai Xun shook her head and interrupted him. She didn’t want to listen to this. She asked emotionally, “Did you send my design draft to others?”
Lu Zhi Yao reached out unconsciously to wipe her tears, but his action stopped. She stared at him with watery eyes, which made his heart disorderly for the first time.
He didn’t want to lie to her anymore, but if he answered…
His face was cold and his heart uncomfortable, and his silent expression was equivalent to acquiescence.
Bai Xun’s tears fell. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped him with a cold tearful voice—
“Liar!”
The clear slap echoed in the office and shocked everyone present.
Bai Xun’s palm was a little sore, which was enough to show how much strength she used. But she had a sad expression, which was much more painful.
“I’ll never see you again!” She seemed to be emotionally unstable. Bai Xun turned and raised her hands, running away while wiping her tears.
Mom, it was so cool! It was exciting to run after she hit! She wanted to hit her brother’s big mouth a few weeks ago!
Lu Zhi Yao couldn’t return to his senses. He has never been beaten before, in those days in his childhood, he was scolded and beaten by others, but it never scared or hurt him…it only made him stronger.
But just now…how could Bai Xun’s slap be so painful? But it was like his heart was beaten, it was too painful that he couldn’t breathe.
He was dispirited as he waved everyone to retreat. Even though he successfully controls the Lu family now, he was a little confused and at a loss.
He never cared for a person like this.
Lu Zhi Yao affection was at 95%.
……
On the other side, as soon as Bai Xun ran out of the office, Huang Yanran ran after her, closely followed by Lu Zhi Yuan.
He ran faster and quickly caught up with Bai Xun. He reached out and held her wrist and pulled people to the side of the road. “Xiao Xun, don’t run around on the road, it’s too dangerous.”
As he said this, he looked at Bai Xun again, a little relieved, “Xiao Xun, where have you been these past two days? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
He frowned and eagerly asked, but Bai Xun didn’t respond at all.
She looked as if she poured cold water on Lu Zhi Yuan’s eager confrontation. He was discontent, “Was it because of Lu Zhi Yao?”
Hearing the name, Bai Xun looked back at him and murmured, “He lied to me…”
The voice wasn’t big, but these words made Lu Zhi Yuan stunned.
He felt pain in his heart, and said in a low voice, “…do you like him?”
