She took a deep breath and stared fixedly at Liang Feifan. "Yes, I don't want to."
Liang Feifan narrowed his eyes as though he was sizing her up. The deep look in his eyes didn't seem surprised at all. It was as though her rejection was within his expectations, and there was even a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Finally, he curved the corners of his lips and asked, "Why don't you want to?"
Why?
Bai Lu laughed bitterly in her heart. Actually, it wasn't that she didn't think she was qualified for such a position. It was just that she didn't want to be too close to Family Liang. The man in front of her was Liang Jingxiao's biological brother. She already knew that he doted on Liang Jingxiao a lot. Now that her relationship with Liang Jingxiao was so sensitive, wouldn't it be even more messy if there was another one?
Of course, she didn't think this way because she was afraid of Liang Jingxiao or anything. Whether it was in terms of reason or friendship, Liang Jingxiao was the one who betrayed her. She didn't need to be afraid of anything. She just didn't want to cause more trouble for herself.
Before the meeting, she had already hesitated about whether she should resign. Later, when Liang Feifan questioned her ability, she refuted. But now … it seemed that the people she cared about the most had been vindicated. In fact, there was no need for her to stay at EC …
"Mr. Liang, actually, it's like this, I-"
The phone suddenly rang, interrupting Bai Lu's words.
Liang Feifan raised his hand and motioned for her to wait for a moment. His tall and straight body stood up from the sofa, and he walked steadily in the direction of his large office desk.
Bai Lu looked at him and pressed the speaker button. A respectful female voice came over the phone. "Mr. Liang, your sister, Miss Liang, is here. She says she wants to see you."
Bai Lu's heart sank. She tightened her grip on the corner of her shirt. Was God playing a game with her?
"Let her in," Liang Feifan's deep voice was rich and powerful, and he hung up the call as soon as he finished speaking.
Bai Lu knew this would happen. She hurriedly stepped forward and said before Liang Feifan could say anything, "Mr. Liang, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Don't worry." Liang Feifan seemed to be in a good mood and even smiled at her. "Aren't you good friends with Jingxiao? Since she's here, you should meet her. Besides, what did you want to say just now? Wasn't he not done yet? I don't like guessing. If you have something to say, just say it directly. "
Bai Lu sighed inwardly. She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape today no matter what.
Forget it. It's just Liang Jingxiao. If she really couldn't face her, it should be her who couldn't face herself. Why should she, who didn't do anything wrong, hide from the person who let her down?
"Mr. Liang, I just wanted to say …"
"Big Brother!"
Before Bai Lu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by another excited female voice.
If it was a familiar voice, she would know who it was without looking.
Bai Lu's expression changed slightly. She slowly raised her head, but the moment she saw the people standing at the door, her face turned pale. It wasn't just Liang Jingxiao, but also Xiang Longjin!
The two of them were holding hands, their fingers intertwined. The word "happiness" was clearly written on their faces, but it was like the sharpest knife, stabbing Bai Lu in the heart without warning.
A dull pain followed. She had always told herself that she had accepted the fact that she had been betrayed, but when she saw it with her own eyes, it was clearly a different matter!
"Bai Lu?" Liang Jingxiao probably didn't expect to see Bai Lu in the office when she came to look for Liang Feifan.
Her expression changed, but what made it even more difficult for her to accept was that Xiang Longjin, who was holding her hand, suddenly let go of her hand as if he had been electrocuted.
She was a rich young lady after all. How could she tolerate her man avoiding her when he saw his ex-girlfriend?
However, Liang Feifan was also here. No matter how unwilling she was in her heart, she endured it. However, the unhappiness in her heart was directed directly at Bai Lu, who was standing beside Liang Feifan.
"Big Brother, why is Bai Lu here?"
Bai Lu really didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She felt that it was very funny. Old love, love rival, best friend, so many identities were all present, and they were all attacking her in a way that made her feel like a deserter who had lost without a fight.
Because right now, she just wanted to turn around and leave. She didn't want to face the two people standing at the door for a moment.
"She's an employee of EC. Is it strange for her to appear in my office?" Only Liang Feifan, as an outsider, didn't know anything, so he was the calmest. As he spoke, he walked around the large office desk and sat directly on the chair. His slender fingers casually tapped on a folder in front of him, but his sharp eyes fell on Xiang Longjin, who was a little uneasy. "Jingxiao, why are you looking for me?"
