Xin Yu gritted her teeth. Her cell phone was still in her hand, and the music was still vibrating. It seemed to be provoking her nerves and reminding her of something — she thought, 'Why didn't I pick up his call? Throw a tantrum? Throw a tantrum? What's there to throw a tantrum about? '
…
Finally, she pressed the answer button. She had secretly taken a deep breath before speaking, so when she spoke, her tone was exceptionally calm. "Hello."
"Why didn't you pick up the phone?"
When Qin Fangang heard her words, his voice became deeper. Even through the phone, Xin Yu could feel the cold air coming from the other end of the line. "When did you come back to City D?"
"A little earlier than Boss Qin."
"Then why didn't you tell me? I asked you to come down for breakfast, and you ate on the plane? Did I say that you could come back first? "
Xin Yu bit her lip. After a while, she spoke in a respectful tone, "Boss Qin, I think that since the contract has been negotiated, there's no need for me to continue staying in City B. As for why I came back to City D without telling you, it's because I didn't want to disturb Boss Qin's happy occasion. Otherwise, wouldn't I be too tactless?"
Qin Fangang was obviously stunned. "What happy occasion?"
Xin Yu subconsciously tightened her grip on the cell phone in her hand. She secretly scolded this person for pretending to be confused. "Boss Qin, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. It's time to get off work now."
After she finished speaking, she directly hung up the call without waiting for Qin Fangang to say anything. She put the cell phone into her pocket and heard Mu Chenchu, who was driving, trying to hold back her laughter.
She frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at a little woman who doesn't mean what she says!" Mu Chen Chu was beautiful and usually had a serious look on her face when she went to work. However, when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, giving people a feeling that she was especially sweet. Her voice was also soft. "Xinyu, do you know what the tone of your voice when you were talking to Chairman Qin just now — oh, what does it sound like?"
"Like what?"
"Like a little woman throwing a tantrum."
"…"
"You don't believe me?"
Mu Chenchu shook her head. It was a red light. She stepped on the accelerator and turned to look at Xin Yu. Then she reached out and opened the mirror in front of her. She pointed at the woman in the mirror and said, "Take a look for yourself. Did your expression betray your heart?"
Xin Yu turned around and looked at her reflection in the small rectangular mirror.
Had she betrayed her heart?
Was it that obvious? The difference was that he only had a nose, two eyes, and a mouth. How could he betray him?
She slapped Mu Chenchu's hand away and closed the mirror with a frown. "Don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing as you think."
"Do you know what I'm thinking?"
"…"
"When you spoke to Boss Qin on the phone just now, I can only use one word to describe you — fearless! Xin Yu, tell me the truth. Do you know Boss Qin well? When he was parachuted into the country, I did some research. When he was in the UK, he was in the investment business. VVS, the most famous hotel in the UK, is one of his businesses. I heard that this man has a unique and accurate foresight. As long as he invests in something, it will be profitable. Hence, when he returned to the country, he immediately became the CEO of the Lu Clan. However, none of the senior management of the Lu Clan dared to say anything. Of course, other than that good-for-nothing Young Master Lu Yihan. For someone like CEO Qin, even if he were to stand in front of me, I would feel pressured, let alone if you had the guts to reject his call. So, do you understand what I mean? "
…
Did she mean that Qin Fangang doted on her and gave in to her, so she was fearless because she knew she had a backing?
Xin Yu did not agree. She shook her head and insisted, "Chenchen, you're thinking too much. It's impossible."
Mu Chenchu saw that she was stubborn and refused to admit it. He resisted the urge to sigh and did not say anything else. He focused on driving.
Although Xin Yu said that, her heart was in turmoil. She was a little distracted the whole night, even during dinner. In the end, it was Mu Chenchu who drove her back to the Lu family's house.
The moment they entered the house, they saw Lu Yiting coming downstairs with a small suitcase. Lu Shiyun was following behind her. Lu Yiting did not look too good. Lu Yiting turned to Lu Shiyun and said, "Dad, you don't have to be angry at me. Mom said she wants to stay outside for the next two days."
Xin Yu stood at the entrance and happened to hear this. She was slightly relieved. So, Li Muhua had moved out?
This was not like her. The moment she came back, Li Muhua moved out. To put it bluntly, wasn't she making room for her?
"Tell her later that she wants to stay outside so much … Xin Yu?"
Lu Shiyun was halfway through his angry words when he noticed Xin Yu at the entrance. He coughed softly and changed the topic. "You're back?"
"Dad."
Xin Yu bent over to change her shoes at the entrance. Suddenly, she heard the sound of an engine in the garden. Xin Yu's heart suddenly tightened. She could tell that it was Qin Fangang's car. She did not expect him to be back so early today. She hurriedly put on her slippers and walked in. "Dad, Yiting, erm, I've already eaten outside. I'll go up first …"
"Wait."
Lu Yiting threw down the suitcase in her hand and blocked Xin Yu's way. "Leng Xinyu, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Did you do something shameful? "
"…"
"Yiting, what nonsense are you talking about? I've said before that Xin Yu is your sister-in-law. Don't call her by her name all day long. Don't you have any manners? Did I teach you to behave like this since you were young? "Lu Shiyun frowned and scolded her in a low voice.
Lu Yiting's expression stiffened slightly. She still had some misgivings about Lu Shiyun. "Dad, you only know how to yell at me. Why don't you ask this daughter-in-law of yours where she went and what she did? How dare she walk into the Lu family now? Don't think that no one knows about what you did in B City! "
Xin Yu's heart tightened subconsciously. B City?
What happened in B City hadn't been reported in today's newspaper. Why was Lu Yiting talking about B City now? Could it be that Lu Yihan told her about it? That was impossible … Strictly speaking, all logic was on her side when she was in B City. It was impossible for Lu Yiting to question her like this.
"B City?" Lu Shiyun was also a little surprised. "Xin Yu, you went to B City?"
"… Dad, I went to …"
"She went to B City with me on a business trip."
A deep and familiar male voice came from the entrance, cutting off Xin Yu's words. Qin Fangang reached out and tugged at his tie. With a jacket hanging from his long arm, he walked over confidently and looked at Lu Shiyun with a magnanimous gaze. "It was a last-minute decision, so I didn't tell you. There's a contract in B City that has been put on hold for a while. Yesterday, Xin Yu and I went over together and signed the contract. We raised it by two percent. "
Lu Shiyun's eyes lit up. "… B City. You mean the project that you discussed with President Li and the others? Fan Gang, you got an extra two percent? "
"Yeah."
Qin Fangang nodded expressionlessly. He turned to look at Xin Yu, who was standing at the side. She looked a little pale. She had a fever for half the night last night. Although she was fine now, it was obvious that she had not fully recovered.
"I knew it. There would be no problem in handing it over to you!" When Lu Shiyun heard that the two percent increase would bring huge profits to the Lu Clan, his face was full of gratification. He glanced at Xin Yu again. "It's good to take Xin Yu out to discuss the contract. She can learn more."
Lu Yiting stood at the side. She saw that Qin Fangang's gaze had stopped on Xin Yu's face. However, from the moment he entered the room, he did not seem to have looked at her. She frowned and an inexplicable sense of jealousy welled up in her heart.
She immediately stepped forward and glared at Xin Yu aggressively. "Dad, do you really think that Leng Xinyu went out to discuss the contract? She didn't go out to fool around? "
Xinyu lifted her head and looked at the disdainful expression on Lu Yiting's face. She was also at a loss. What was she talking about? Or perhaps, she knew something? Or … did the incident in B City have something to do with her?
The last thought flashed through Xin Yu's mind. She opened her mouth and asked, "Yiting, if you have any doubts about me, just say it. Otherwise, I really don't know what you're talking about."
"You don't know what I'm talking about?" Lu Yiting sneered and took a step closer to Xin Yu. "Leng Xinyu, what did you do in B City? Don't think that we don't know. I know someone. Tell me, you got drunk in B City and slept with someone else. Is that right? "
Lu Shiyun's expression changed drastically. "Yiting, you don't have any evidence. What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm not spouting nonsense! Dad, why are you always protecting this woman? Brother doesn't like her at all. If you hadn't forced him to marry her five years ago, he wouldn't have avoided coming home for the past five years. And Mom … You gave her 5% of the Lu Clan's shares. Now, even Mom can't accept it. Even I, your daughter, don't get such good treatment. Why are you so good to her? "Lu Yiting was full of resentment." Why would I lie to you? That friend of mine told me that himself! She did fool around with another man in B City. Also, when she was in England, she was also unclean. Someone took photos of her going in and out of a hotel! "
…
Xin Yu's heart instantly rose to her throat.
If she had a clear conscience about the incident in B City, then in England …
Someone had taken photos of her going in and out of a hotel?
Her breathing instinctively stopped, but at the same time, she could clearly feel the familiar domineering aura of a man behind her. It wantonly provoked her nerves, constantly reminding her of what she had done in England …
"Who told you?" Lu Shiyun listened to his daughter's solemn tone and pondered for a moment. In the end, he still sided with Xin Yu. "Some things can't be said carelessly. Don't jump to conclusions based on hearsay. I know you don't like Xin Yu, but you can't falsely accuse her like this …"
"I'm falsely accusing her? Dad, why don't you ask her yourself? Look at her face. It's as white as a ghost. If she had a clear conscience, would she be like this? "
Of course, Lu Yiting wouldn't say that these things were actually told to her by Lan Ruoran in private.
