But Lu Qingli was neither brainless nor blind, her mother had given her beauty and health, her father had given her status and upbringing, and given her both beauty and talent, as well as her status and wealth. What right did she have to endure such humiliation!? What right did she have to work with another woman!
Love can be very particular, can also be very good. It just so happened that Lu Qingli was not someone who could be taken lightly.
If you don't care, then just throw it away.
Lu Qingli turned around and went into the bedroom and opened the drawer of the bedside table.
A black velvet jewelry box with a white ribbon in the upper left corner.
Inside was the diamond ring Xi Muyao had brought to her ring finger at their second wedding.
When they first got married, she didn't bring the diamond ring with her after the divorce and gave it to Xi Muyao. She had only heard Lin Yeyan mention it when she provoked her, and Lin Yeyan threw it into the toilet and flushed it away.
This is the second diamond wedding ring. The diamond was bigger and brighter than the first.
There were no lights on in the bedroom, and diamonds sparkled in the dim light from outside the French windows.
Lu Qingli closed the box with a ”pa” sound, and rushed to the balcony, holding onto the jewelry box, she swung it with her arms up high, going past the highest point, and then suddenly retracted it.
Lu Qingli held the jewelry box tightly, a white mark appearing on her lower lip. As if she had thought of something, she returned to her bedroom and stuffed the jewelry box into the pocket of her cloth jacket.
Nanny Liu knocked on the door and entered, asking curiously: ”Miss Er, why did Young Master leave?”
Lu Qingli straightened the clothes on the clothes rack, and casually said: ”Oh, his company still has urgent matters, so he left first. Bob and I are staying at home these days. ”We'll wait until she's fully recovered before we head back to live.”
Nanny Liu was overjoyed: ”That's great! I wanted to mention this matter to Miss Er! I was afraid that Young Master wouldn't bear to part with Miss Er, so he didn't say anything. ”
”Why would he be reluctant to part with me? He would rather I wasn't around so he could fool around with that woman …” Lu Qingli pulled at his woolen shirt, and muttered with his head lowered.
”Huh?” Nanny Liu did not hear clearly and asked, ”Miss Er, what are you muttering about by yourself?”
”I'll tell you!” Lu Qingli raised her head, raised her voice, and said: ”I'm hungry! Isn't it almost 6 o'clock? ”
Nanny Liu hurriedly nodded, ”They are in the process of being prepared! Miss, what did you go out for at noon? She came back without lunch and went to the nursery to watch Bob. I'll go cook something for you first. ”
”Mhmm, hurry up!” Lu Qingli pushed Nanny Liu out of the room and closed the door casually.
Mu Wenshu released the steering wheel, picked up the business card on the stage, and glanced at it again. It's Lattice Wood Corporation, correct.
Mu Wenshu called Lin Luo, looked at the building outside the window, and said, ”I'm downstairs at your company.”
Lin Luo was currently lying on the office sofa, looking at the transactions between the Lattice Wood and Western Europe. Hearing the buzzing sound of her phone, she directly answered the call without even looking at the caller ID. You're already here! What time is it? ”
Lin Luo immediately placed the information on the table, and used one hand to support herself as she sat up. She looked at her watch and smiled: ”My ankle is injured, why don't you come and pick me up?”
Mu Wenshu decisively answered ”Ok” and then hung up the phone.
He did not believe that Lin Lin Yeyan was the general manager of Lattice Wood or that she was in charge of such a large company.
He did not know how Lin Yeyan had left the police station at that time, nor did he understand why Xi Muyao would still be willing to stay with her after he had injured Xi Muyao and his group, but who would let a young and inexperienced woman to become the general manager of a company? At most, they could just rely on relationships to be little clerks or secretaries.
Mu Wenshu threw down the name card in his hand, remembered the floor, then directly entered the office building.
The elevator opened with a ”ding” sound, and Lattice Wood company's huge logo entered his eyes.
Mu Wenshu adjusted his sleeves, and pushed open the glass door and entered.
”Hello! Is there anything I can help you with? ” The front desk girl smiled politely. Her soft and beautiful voice sounded at the first moment.
Mu Wenshu nodded and stood still. He was dressed in a blue and grey suit, looking dignified and proper. My surname is Mu and I'm looking for Lin Luo. ”
When the front desk girl heard the person's surname was Mu, she quickly came out from behind the reception desk, ”Ok, Mr. Mu, please follow me.”
Mu Wenshu raised his eyebrows slightly, could it be that Lin Yeyan was really the general manager of Lattice Wood?
When the stage lady brought Mu Wenshu to stop in front of the Lattice Wood office that had the General Manager badge on it, Mu Wenshu finally believed in what Lin Luo had said.
The front desk miss knocked on the door twice, when she received a reply from the person inside, she then pushed open the door and let Mu Wenshu in.
”Thank you.” Mu Wenshu walked in and sat straight up at the desk with a serious look on his face.
Lin Luo slowly stood up and gave a light smile: ”You came on time! ”If you say six, then six. It's neither too late nor too early.”
”Then can we leave now?” Mu Wenshu said indifferently. Even though he had many questions in his heart, Lin Luo might not tell him. Rather than asking, he might as well wait for Lin Luo to bring it up himself.
”Then come here!” Lin Luo waved her hand towards Mu Wenshu, and pointed to his right leg, ”Help me up, my leg is injured!”
The lower half of Lin Luo's body was hidden under the desk, so even if Mu Wenshu looked at it directly, he would not be able to see it.
Mu Wenshu suddenly remembered that before he left this afternoon, Lin Luo limped over to his side to help him take away the security guards.
He must have been injured because of the dispute between the two of them.
Mu Wenshu casually sat opposite of Lin Yeyan, with the two of them separated by a thick and heavy table.
”Since it's inconvenient for you, let's talk here!”
Lin Luo immediately jumped up onto the table and came out, ”Don't! I'm hungry! She didn't have the strength to speak. I'm going out to eat! ”
Mu Wenshu looked at Lin Luo's leg. Her entire lower leg was tightly wrapped by the boot barrel, revealing a chunk of thigh wearing black stockings.
Lin Luo followed his gaze and looked at Lin Luo, who was leaning on the table, trying to support her body, as if she was about to take off her shoes, ”You don't believe me? Do you want me to take it off for you to check and verify its authenticity? ”
Mu Wenshu stood up, and walked over and supported her arm, ”No need. It's none of my business whether you're hurt or not. ”
”So heartless!” Lin Luo pouted and said in a low voice, ”I was trying to protect you. Otherwise, I would have been pushed down by Xi Muyao.”
”That's perfect.” Mu Wenshu shifted his gaze, looking at the nearby glass door, ”I saved you once, and you also saved me once. We're even! ”No one owes anyone a debt.”
Lin Luo curled her lips, and said in a low voice: ”How could it be calculated like that?”
When she was at her lowest, most helpless and saddest, Mu Wenshu saved her from a street hoodlum. He even brought her home to take care of her with all his heart.
Mu Wenshu no longer answered, as he half-supported Lin Luo and half-carried him out of the office.
It just so happened that Chen Dong was holding onto a piece of information and walking out of the Vice President's Office with his head lowered. When he looked up and saw Mu Wenshu and Lin Luo, who seemed to be extremely close to each other, his eyes moved around the place and a polite smile hung on his face, ”Boss Lin, are you off work?”
”Yes.” Lin Luo smiled, ”With you here, what else do I have to worry about.”
She patted Mu Wenshu's shoulders and introduced him to Chen Dong: ”This is Mu Wenshu, a Gold-ranked lawyer who just returned back to the Mainland from Hong Kong.”
Chen Dong nodded and extended his hand, ”I have heard a lot about you! I am the Deputy General Manager of Lattice Wood, Chen Dong. Lawyer Mu was indeed a talented person. I've seen the case where Lawyer Mu represented the Jianghua Group and fought back with all his might.
Mu Wenshu reached out his hand to grasp Chen Dong's hand, and said with a smile, ”Thank you, Chief Chen. ”Nice to meet you!”
Lin Luo looked at the two of them exchanging greetings, and then spoke: ”We should go! Chief Chen, you go back earlier as well. ”
Mu Wenshu helped Lin Luo onto her own Maserati, and turned to ask Lin Luo who was sitting in the front passenger seat, ”Where to?”
Lin Luo straightened her hair and replied: ”There's a western restaurant nearby that tastes pretty good. Let's go somewhere else. ”
Mu Wenshu faintly nodded, ”Up to you.”
”When we reach the intersection ahead, turn right. We'll reach our destination after walking for another 200 meters.”
Night fell, and the lanterns were lit. He sat in the 18th floor of the western restaurant. The melodious music lingered in his ears, and the slightly dim western restaurant was quiet.
The restaurant was not full. Guests were either eating quietly or talking in whispers.
Mu Wenshu took a glance at the lights of the city outside the window. They were shining brightly as they meandered far away, looking down at the earth. There were countless tall buildings along the street, and the cars on the street were flashing their lights in the darkness as they slowly moved.
”Aren't you going to ask me what I want?” Lin Luo shook the wine in her goblet lightly, and looked at Mu Wenshu with concentration.
Mu Wenshu withdrew his gaze from the window and gulped down the red wine in his cup.
He shook his head. ”There's nothing to ask. I don't have anything to do with you, but we met by chance. ”What do you want? It's none of my business who you want to be with.”
