Of course, she didn't expect him to turn around and comfort her at a time like this, but she would rather have him question her than not say a single word.
The warmth that he had shown her before seemed to have vanished in an instant. At that moment, Liang Feifan exuded a hostile aura and deliberately maintained a certain distance from her.
Bai Lu didn't like this feeling. It was as if she had really betrayed him.
She felt that she couldn't continue to be silent like this. She didn't want him to misunderstand. The moment he opened the car door, she finally couldn't help but call out to him. "Mr. Liang, can you listen to me?"
Liang Feifan paused in the act of getting into the car. He looked up and saw the woman opposite him with her long eyelashes lowered like butterfly wings. Her fair fingers were tightly gripping the car door. She looked so careful, like a child who had done something wrong.
Liang Feifan instinctively narrowed his eyes and said mildly, "I know what you want to say, but you don't have to say anything now. I don't know anything about this, so now, get in the car. Come back to the company with me and we'll figure this out. "
Bai Lu's heart sank. She didn't want to deny how much she hoped that he would say to her, "I believe you."
But he didn't say it. He just said, "Go back and investigate."
Could it be that there was a scale in his heart, and to him, whether it was the left or the right, she was the same weight?
She shouldn't be disappointed or sad, because what he did wasn't wrong at all. But she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart … She couldn't describe the feeling.
The car sped along. Bai Lu was still sitting in the front passenger seat. She propped one hand against the car window and watched the scenery fly by with dim eyes.
"Are you disappointed? Are you thinking that I'm also suspecting you, huh? "
The silence in the car was particularly oppressive. Bai Lu secretly took a deep breath and suddenly heard Liang Feifan's deep voice.
She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned her face. She saw Liang Feifan holding the steering wheel with both hands and looking straight ahead as he controlled the car. The lines on his side profile were not as tense as before.
Bai Lu pursed his lips and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Mr. Liang, I don't know how to explain this to you, but I really don't know anything about this. I also don't know why Chu Weiye, he … I don't know why Far East would have my design drawings, but I'm innocent."
She paused and secretly took a deep breath. Her last sentence was said very softly, but in this silent carriage, it seemed to be powerful and resonant. "I … have never thought of betraying you."
The hostility in Liang Feifan's body seemed to be disappearing little by little. He raised his eyebrows and asked her in a low voice, "If I asked you to give yourself a score after entering society, 100 points is the full score, how many points would you give?"
Bai Lu was stunned.
Liang Feifan's change of topic was too sudden. However, this wasn't her first day working for him, and she knew that he always spoke and did things with a specific purpose. She thought about it and answered seriously, "I don't know what you're talking about, but if it's my work attitude, I think I'd give it 80 points."
"80 points?" Just as they reached the turn, the green light changed to red. Liang Feifan turned the steering wheel, and the car was stuck in a long line of cars. He turned his face and glanced at her. The corners of his mouth curved into a habitual smile. "So, how do you deal with things?"
"…"
"Can't give me a score?" Liang Feifan laughed emotionlessly. "Then you should feel it this time and see how many points you can get in this area."
After he said this baffling sentence, he didn't say anything else. He stepped on the gas pedal to the max and soon arrived at EC.
Bai Lu was trying to figure out Liang Feifan's so-called "score" the whole way. She didn't understand why Liang Feifan would ask her such a question for no reason.
Of course, she really wanted to know.
The car drove to EC, and the two of them got out of the car one after the other. Guan Chao was already waiting at the door with a serious expression. When he saw Bai Lu and Liang Feifan coming back together, he wasn't very surprised.
"Mr. Liang." When he saw Bai Lu, he nodded at her.
Liang Feifan glanced at Bai Lu. When he saw that she was in a daze, he said, "Go back to the office first." He quickly walked towards the elevator.
Guan Chao followed closely behind, and the two of them quickly entered the private elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, Bai Lu saw Guan Chao leaning over Liang Feifan. It seemed like he was saying something, and the two of them didn't look very good.
When the elevator doors closed completely, Bai Lu felt as though all the energy in her body had been sucked out. Her whole body swayed as she leaned against the wall beside her. She lowered her eyes and quietly adjusted her emotions as she sorted out the matter in her mind.
She didn't know why her design drawings were leaked, but in fact, it wasn't hard to understand because the entire design department in EC knew about her design drawings. If someone wanted to deliberately harm her, it wouldn't be hard to understand.
Moreover, it just so happened to be at such a coincidental time … It was easy for her to fix her eyes on someone …
However, she didn't have any evidence, so of course, she wouldn't say anything.
What surprised her was that the other party was actually Yuandong …
Chu Weiye, that guy. Could it be that last night's incident was also intentional?
He deliberately led her to the mountaintop villa. It was impossible that he didn't know that Liang Feifan also had a property there. Did he even know when Liang Feifan would appear? He just wanted to make Liang Feifan suspect that their relationship wasn't ordinary? So it was natural that he would sell the design drawings to Yuandong?
Her thoughts gradually became clearer. Bai Lu felt that this was the most likely possibility.
However, there was still … no evidence.
Everything was just a figment of her imagination. She could not testify against anyone.
When Bai Lu returned to the design department, the first person to welcome her was Lei Yi. "Bai Lu, you're back? So soon. How was the bidding? Did you get it in one fell swoop? "
It seemed that the people here still didn't know anything.
Bai Lu slowly exhaled and forced a smile at Lei Yi. "I'm a little thirsty. I'm going to drink a glass of water."
She avoided talking about it. Lei Yi thought that he was smart and thought that the bidding would fail. For a moment, he was stunned and didn't know how to comfort her. Naturally, he was disappointed.
The other employees of the design department, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the show. They didn't know that Bai Lu's designs had been leaked. They simply thought that her designs weren't presentable at all.
Those senior staff who had a lot of opinions about her were now looking at her with sneers. Those gazes were all conveying one meaning —
Just you? Are you worthy? You deserve it if you fall to your death!
Bai Lu's mouth twitched and she swallowed the bitter taste in her throat. She didn't want to say anything more and walked directly into the pantry.
She drank a large glass of water in one go. Just as she put down the glass, she heard a familiar female voice behind her. "Originally, I thought that if you really won the city council building project, I would really have a whole new level of respect for you. But now it seems that … I thought too highly of you. Bai Lu, are you still not going to admit defeat? The design department is not suitable for you. "
She was really timely.
Bai Lu released the fingers that were holding the glass and slowly turned around. She saw Liang Jingxiao leaning against the door. Her lower abdomen was slightly bulging and she was wearing a pair of flat shoes. Because she was already a mother-to-be, she didn't look as sharp as before.
"Miss Liang, the question of whether I'm suitable or not is not something you should be saying to me." Bai Lu sighed softly. She didn't want to fight with her. She tried to use a calm tone and said, "Also, I didn't come to the design department for anything else like you said. I just want to fulfill my dream. I hope you won't treat me as a thorn in your side."
"Dream?" Liang Jingxiao didn't buy her concession at all. She crossed her arms and sneered, "What's a dream? Bai Lu, you've been in society for so many years. Don't tell me you don't even know what a dream is? Dreams are just things that are piled up with money and status. Do you think you can enter the design department without my brother? Do you think you can participate in that bidding without my brother? Without my big brother, your dreams are worthless. Why don't you go to another company? You can try. I want to see who would choose a third-rate designer like you. To put it bluntly, you're just relying on my brother, Liang Feifan. "
"That's true, Liang Feifan. Do you know how many people in City A want to have a relationship with Family Liang? But you don't deserve it! " Liang Jingxiao slowly approached Bai Lu and said word by word, "My brother will never have any relationship with you. If you have any self-awareness, you should leave on your own. "
"So? Because you think I don't deserve it … "Bai Lu took a step back and put her hand on the bar counter behind her. Of course, she wasn't afraid of Liang Jingxiao's words. She just smiled and said," So you leaked my design to Chu Weiye from Far East, right? Miss Liang, do you know everything about the bidding? Is that why you're saying these things to me so confidently? "
Liang Jingxiao was quite smart this time. She didn't show any flaws on her face. She even pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes. "No way? The design was stolen? "
She paused and pointed at herself with a look of disbelief. "Why are you looking at me like that? You can't be that ridiculous, right? You caused such a big trouble and now you're pushing the responsibility to me? Do you think I'm framing you? "
"…"
Bai Lu was fed up with her hypocritical smile. She used to be her best friend … but now, she wanted to kill her …
She quickly closed her eyes and walked past Liang Jingxiao toward the door of the pantry. "Say whatever you want. God is watching. I believe Mr. Liang will find out who did it."
"Ha, you're right. My brother will find out."
Liang Jingxiao's voice was particularly firm. Bai Lu paused at the door. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that this matter … didn't seem to be simple.
Liang Jingxiao didn't do things that she wasn't sure about, nor would she say things that she wasn't sure about, let alone when it came to her.
