Xin Yu didn't rest well the entire night. She wasn't worried about Lu Yihan. Qin Fangang had said that he wouldn't be coming home tonight, so she believed him. She lay in bed, tossing and turning restlessly. All she could think about was Leng Dongming.
In the middle of the night, her cell phone received a text message. Xin Yu was still in a daze when she thought she saw that it was a text from Lu Yihan. However, she only squinted her eyes to glance at the text. When her cell phone screen dimmed, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep again.
…
When she woke up the next day, she was lucky that she had already set the alarm, so it wasn't too late.
As expected, Lu Yihan didn't come home for the whole night. Xin Yu heaved a sigh of relief. She thought about how she had to have a good talk with Lu Shiyun today no matter what, including the fifth anniversary. Also … she couldn't stay here forever. She was preparing to get a divorce, so she wanted to move to Mu Chenchu.
After she got out of bed, she washed up briefly. When she went downstairs, she saw Lu Yiting sitting in the dining room having breakfast. Lu Shiyun was sitting at the head of the table. Li Muhua probably hadn't come down yet, and Qin Fangang wasn't there either.
"Xin Yu, you're up?" Lu Shiyun shook the newspaper and instructed the servant to prepare breakfast.
Xin Yu greeted him and sat down. She thought about what had happened last night. Now that she was facing Lu Shiyun and Lu Yiting, she felt a little guilty, so she tried her best to keep her eyes down. When the servant brought her breakfast, Lu Shiyun suddenly asked, "Yihan didn't come home yesterday?"
Xin Yu was stunned for a moment. Then she nodded and said, "Yeah, I think … he had something to do."
"Where did you go yesterday? I went to look for you, but you weren't in your room. "
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Xin Yu's heart trembled, but her face remained calm. In fact, she had already thought of an excuse last night. At this moment, she tried her best to control the speed of her speech and said, "… I might have been taking a shower. I've been a little tired these past few days, so I accidentally fell asleep in the bathtub. When I woke up, I realized that it was already very late. But when I went to look for you later, the housekeeper said that you had already gone to bed."
Lu Shiyun glanced at Xin Yu's face as he read the newspaper. Seeing her calmly eating her breakfast, he nodded and took a sip of his coffee. "So that's how it is. You have to be careful next time. The weather is getting colder, and it's easy to catch a cold if you fall asleep in the bathtub."
"I know, Dad."
"Well, Yi Ting is going to the company today. You can go with her."
"…"
Lu Yiting's face was full of disdain. When she heard this, she only snorted and said arrogantly, "I have my own car. Do you want to hitch a ride with me?"
Xin Yu looked at the rich heiress in front of her and recalled the way she looked at Qin Fangang yesterday. For some reason, an inexplicable sourness rose from the tip of her heart.
"What car? Since you're going to work at the company, you should behave. You can go with your sister-in-law. I'll get the chauffeur to take you there today. "
Lu Yiting was speechless.
They arrived at the company about 30 minutes later. Lu Yiting was very aware of how dissatisfied Xin Yu was with Lu Yiting, so she didn't say a word along the way. In the beginning, Lu Yiting would make a few sarcastic remarks, but after listening to countless sarcastic remarks, Xin Yu felt that she had almost developed an indestructible heart, so she was completely indifferent.
It was probably true. No matter what the other party said, she couldn't be bothered to refute them. Lu Yiting was asking for a snub, so she didn't say anything else.
The atmosphere was stiff and silent all the way until they arrived at the Lu Clan.
This wasn't Lu Yiting's first time at the Lu Clan, but it was her first time entering the Lu Clan as an employee. Lu Shiyun had already helped her contact the human resources department. Since it was her first day at work, she naturally had to report.
The two of them went their separate ways after entering the company.
Xin Yu purposely waited for Lu Yiting to get into the elevator before choosing to take the next flight. While waiting for the elevator, she suddenly heard someone call her name from behind. It was a familiar female voice. Xin Yu turned around and saw Tang Miao.
"I heard that you took a leave of absence. I've been working here for three days." Tang Miao held a stack of documents in her hands and smiled warmly at Xin Yu.
Xin Yu remembered that Tang Miao told her last time that she would start working at the Lu Clan next week. Now that she thought about it, it was about time.
"I've been a little busy these few days. Are you used to it?"
The elevator arrived and the two of them went in together. Tang Miao smiled and said, "It's great. Actually, I'm really satisfied to be able to work at the Lu Clan."
Just then, a call came in. Tang Miao hurriedly looked for her phone. Xin Yu reached out and took the documents from her hands. "Let me help you. Which floor should I go to?"
Tang Miao made a "5" gesture and picked up the phone. She didn't know what the person on the other end said, but she immediately looked troubled. "… Huh? Half an hour? I really can't … I still have a document to send. Half an hour is too rushed. Can you give me another half an hour … That's not what I meant. I'm really busy … Just half an hour … Hello? Hello? "
"…"
Tang Miao hung up the phone in disappointment. Her two long eyebrows were tightly knitted together and she had an irritated expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Xin Yu could tell that something was wrong. "Did someone make things difficult for you at work?"
Tang Miao's gaze fell on the document in Xin Yu's hands. She bit her lip, pointed at the document, and said, "I'm going to send this to the SVS Hotel in a while. Someone is waiting there, but the higher-ups just called me and told me to send a document to the construction site within half an hour. There should be someone waiting there … I wish I could split myself in half right now. That way, I can run to two places at the same time."
Xin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Silly girl, can you still live if you split yourself in half? Send this document to the SVS Hotel, right? I'll send it to you for you. I don't have anything to do anyway. Just send your document to the construction site. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you. "
Tang Miao suddenly looked excited. "Really? Xin Yu, you're the best! I'll remember this time. I'll definitely treat you to a meal next time! "
Xin Yu smiled gently. "You helped me when I was in England too. Okay, I won't go up now. I'll send it to you directly."
She pressed the button to open the door again. The elevator reached the fifth floor. Tang Miao walked out and thanked her profusely. Xin Yu didn't take it to heart. In fact, she really didn't have anything to do. Tang Miao said that she would contact her on her phone later. Xin Yu nodded and closed the elevator door again.
The moment the double doors closed slowly, what she didn't notice was that the girl standing outside the elevator who was smiling suddenly sank. A trace of guilt flashed across her eyes …
She took out her phone, opened the text message, and quickly typed a line on the screen.
She had already passed.
After sending the message successfully, Tang Miao quietly deleted the message. She stared at the phone screen until the screen dimmed. Then she gently moved her lips and silently said, "I'm sorry."
The distance from the Lu Clan to SVS Hotel was not far. Xin Yu hailed a taxi and arrived very quickly.
Tang Miao had told her that the document was to be sent to suite 8520. Xin Yu went straight into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth floor. The suite was easy to find. It was the first suite at the corner of the corridor. Xin Yu stood at the door. Just as she was about to press the doorbell, she was surprised to find that the door was open.
She frowned. She thought that the front desk downstairs might have notified them and opened the door to wait for her to come in.
Anyway, she was just going to send the document, so she didn't think too much about it. She gently pushed the door open and was about to enter when she suddenly heard a man's voice coming from inside.
It was a low and deep male voice. It was a slightly lazy tone, but it was a voice that Xin Yu was extremely familiar with.
"… Old feelings? It seems like you came to me and told me that we should pretend that we didn't know each other in the future. If that's the case, why are you talking about old feelings with me now? Or does Miss Lan think that since you slept with me and had sex with me five years ago, I'll still reminisce about it today? "
Xin Yu's hand trembled. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the document in her hand.
There was a voice in her heart telling her loudly, "Go, leave this place immediately." She knew too well that there were some words that she shouldn't have heard. However, it was as if there were nails on the soles of her feet. She held the door handle tightly with one hand and couldn't move her feet.
Subconsciously, even his breathing became lighter.
Soon, a female voice came from inside. It sounded a little disappointed, but Xin Yu was familiar with it.
"… Are you blaming me? Yes, I've told you before. Do you think I'm the one who wanted this to happen? You would suddenly become Yihan's brother, I never even dreamt of it. At that time, I was completely panicking. What's wrong with me telling you that? Fan Gang, I … "
"Miss Lan, please get it straight. What should you call me?"
"…"
"Okay, Qin Fangang. Yes, that's all in the past. Moreover, I did leave you first. But even so, I don't think you're an ungentlemanly man. Did you expose those things in the newspaper because you wanted to take revenge on me?"
"Revenge?"
Xin Yu heard Qin Fangang laugh coldly. Soon, she heard his slightly lazy male voice mixed with disdain. "What do you think I need to do to take revenge? I'm just giving you a reminder. If I really wanted to take revenge on you, you wouldn't be living so comfortably. Do you understand? "
"… You, for Leng Xinyu?"
Qin Fangang only laughed. There was a faint smell of tobacco in the room. Xin Yu stood at the door and kept squeezing the door handle. That familiar smell of tobacco entered her lungs. Her whole body started to tremble uncontrollably.
She knew that it belonged to that man. So in her mind, the image of him smoking appeared again. His slender fingers holding the cigarette, his long legs casually crossed …
Xin Yu had never thought that a man could smoke in such an elegant manner.
