C24 (1/2)

The next day, when I came to the company, I was acutely aware that something was wrong.

The way my colleagues looked at me changed. The harmonious atmosphere in the office started to get weird again, leaving me confused. The moment I walked into the department, before I even sat down, the manager informed me, ”The chairman wants you to go to the CEO's office.”

”Alright.”

Before I even knew who the chairman was, I went into the office, and I didn't know I was going to be sent to the Wolf's Pit.

Pushing the door open and entering, I saw a dignified middle-aged woman with brows that were somewhat similar to Zhu Wuchen. She sized me up from head to toe, her eyes filled with loathing and contempt.

She slowly got up and walked in front of me, coldly snorting, ”Miss Lu, you have some ability to seduce my son, but you should know that if you let go of this matter that you are in charge of your family, if you let the people from the upper class know that my son married a second-hand person, the reputation of the Zhu Family will definitely be completely ruined.”

Second-hand goods...

These three words made me freeze momentarily. The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, and the only dignity I had was being trampled on by others. It made me feel oppressed.

”Aunty, you misunderstood, I …”

She put her hand on my shoulder to stop me from continuing. ”Miss Lu, I'm not interested in fighting with you. I'm giving you two choices. Do you want me to ban your entire family or take the money and leave?”

I've long heard that Zhu's mother is a great character, and I only found out today how she managed to reach her current position. But I can't let anyone bully me like this.

I took a deep breath. ”Aunty, I think you're thinking too much. Not everyone is interested in your Zhu family's money.”

”A sharp tongue!” She coldly snorted, and in the next second, she pulled me forward and looked at me condescendingly. ”I don't understand. ”Don't think that you can be my daughter-in-law just by climbing onto my bed!”

She was so aggressive that I subconsciously took a step back. However, just as I took a step back, she fell right in front of me. At the same time, the sound of the door opening came from behind me.

She suddenly got up from the ground with lowered eyes and changed from her previous overbearing look to a pitiful one, ”I'm just talking like this. Even if you don't like me, you can't push me. My high heels are so high, then you can do it!”

Before I could understand what she was saying, Zhu Wechen's voice suddenly came from behind me.

”Lumen.”

When I froze, I was suddenly enlightened!

Turning around, I saw that Zhu Feichen's eyes had already frozen over. His gaze towards me had turned cold, making me feel uncomfortable. Just as I was about to open my mouth to explain, he impatiently said, ”You go out first.”

Seeing his cold attitude, I didn't have any thoughts of explaining anymore. I silently turned around and left. My heart felt a little uncomfortable and my eyes felt a little hot.

I didn't want anyone to see me in such a sorry state. As soon as I stepped into the elevator, I heard a clatter of high heels behind me, and before I could look at the man, a pair of hands were pressed against my back. The man gave me a shove that made my heart stop, and I lost my balance and tumbled down the stairs.

Ah …

So painful.

After a series of earth-shaking rolls, I finally tumbled down the stairs. The moment I fell down, I desperately tried to protect my stomach, and my hands and feet were in extreme pain from the rubbing.
