Lu Tao wanted to see Chen? Since he couldn't get through, he glanced at Yang Zhitang in confusion. However, Yang Zhitang was also staring at him mockingly, as if he already knew that he couldn't get through.
Just then, the doorbell of the guest room rang. Then, Xia Bingbing shouted, "Lu Tao, are you in the room? Chen? Team leader is calling you. "
Lu Tao heard Xia Bingbing call him Chen? She was a little surprised that Xia Bingbing called her. She couldn't help but look at Yang Zhitang, only to see an awkward expression on his face. She guessed that he definitely didn't expect this situation. She felt a little relieved. She quickly stood up and opened the door. She took the phone from Xia Bingbing's hand and put the receiver to her ear. Why are you calling Chief Xia to look for me? My phone has always been working! "
"I know your phone is working, but I don't have it with me right now. When I call you normally, I just find your name from the address book, so I don't remember your number. Last night, when I came out of the shower, my phone suddenly disappeared. It was turned off. I couldn't find it. After I went to work today, my mom called my office and said that she found my phone under the sofa. She brought it to school and told me not to worry. She would bring it home tonight. After lunch at the office, I remembered that there was something I wanted to confirm with you, so I borrowed Deputy Director Li Tao's phone to call Chief Xia. I wanted to ask her what your phone number was. Chief Xia said that she saw you returning to the hotel, so she asked you to pick up the phone. "
Hearing this, Lu Tao was enlightened. He called Chen last night? When the call came, she was showering and left her phone in the living room. Her mother picked up the call and lied that Chen had gone to the hotel. Then, Chen said that Chen had gone for a walk with her boyfriend. To stop Chen? Since he had called her back to expose her lie, she might as well go all the way to Chen Zhao. She turned off and hid Chen's phone. Then, she arranged for Yang Zhitang to negotiate with him. She wanted him to stop pursuing Chen with 50,000 yuan? …
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel angry and amused at the same time. He asked, "??? Your mother received a call from me last night and said that you found a boyfriend. After dinner at your house, you went for a walk with him. You even left your phone at home so that no one would disturb you. Is this true or not? How come I've never heard you mention that you have a boyfriend? "
Considering that Yang Zhitang is Chen Dengfeng's secretary and a leader of the Provincial Party Committee, Lu Tao does not want to offend him. Also, Xia Bingbing is standing at the door, so he did not tell Chen Dengfeng anything. Should he say that Yang Zhitang was in his room? She scolded him angrily …
Chen? She was obviously shocked by Lu Tao's words. First, she exclaimed, then angrily and anxiously explained, "My mother is talking nonsense! Since when do I have a boyfriend? I've been with you almost every day for the past few days. If I had a boyfriend, wouldn't you know? Also, you're well aware of my feelings for you, and we even have a three-year agreement. Do you think I'm the kind of person who makes promises easily and doesn't mean what I say? If you don't even have this basic trust in me, then it only proves that I'm a failure as a person! "
Although Lu Tao believed that she was telling the truth, he was still suspicious that she did not tell him that Zhang Wenqing went to her house for dinner. So, he asked again, "Did Zhang Wenqing go to your house for dinner last night?"
Chen? She hurriedly said, "That's right. He did go to my house for dinner last night. My father's secretary, Yang Zhitang, brought him there. I won't hide it from you. Yang Zhitang wants to set me up with Zhang Wenqing. He has been praising how outstanding Zhang Wenqing is in front of my parents and how much he likes me. But I've already told you before: Zhang Wenqing is not my cup of tea, especially after he spread the photos and videos of you and Lin Susu everywhere. My initial dislike for him has turned into hatred for him. I feel that he's a rather shady person, and he's not at all open and aboveboard. Furthermore, he'll do anything to achieve his goals. He's the type of person that I despise the most.
"Of course, I'm also a little wrong in this matter. Actually, before I parted with you yesterday afternoon, I already knew that Zhang Wenqing would come to my house for dinner. I also knew that this meal was a blind date, so I should've told you about it. But then I thought about it again. I won't bother with Zhang Wenqing anyway. If he wants to come to my house for dinner, then let him go. If I told you about this matter, it would only make you feel even more uncomfortable. So, I took back the words that were about to come out of my mouth. You didn't really misunderstand me, right? "
When Lu Tao heard her explanation, the haze in his heart disappeared. He asked in a relaxed tone, "You said that you wanted to confirm something with me. What is it?"
"I just wanted to ask you: Are you sure that you're coming to my birthday party tomorrow? If you're sure that you're coming, I have to talk to my mother first. Right now, she has some misunderstandings and prejudices against you. I have to talk to her properly so that she won't be unfriendly to you when you come to my house tomorrow. You're a person who can't take the slightest bit of anger. I'm afraid that if she offends you, you'll leave in a huff. That would be very awkward. "
Lu Tao subconsciously glanced at Yang Zhitang and deliberately said in a loud voice, "??? Don't worry, I'll definitely come to your house tomorrow to celebrate your birthday. I won't go back on my words! "
When Yang Zhitang heard this, his eyes revealed an extremely shocked expression. After he hung up the phone, he stood up and said, "Little Lu, since you won't listen to me, then I'll take my leave now!"
Then, he carried the money bag and hurried out of the room. Lu Tao said, "Goodbye, I won't see you out." Then, he handed the phone back to Xia Bingbing and thanked her with a smile. After she left, he closed the door and laid on the bed. He picked up his phone and scrolled through WeChat. Just as he was about to close his eyes and sleep, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Lu Tao thought that it was Xia Bingbing or Zhang Yaling looking for him, so he hurriedly got up and opened the door. When he looked outside, he was stunned. Chen? His mother, Wu Manping, was standing at the door with a gloomy face. She was using her cold eyes to scan him up and down. It was obvious that she had come with Yang Zhitang. She had probably been in the car or in the hotel lobby the whole time. She had arranged for Yang Zhitang to come up and do Lu Tao's work. When she saw that Yang Zhitang couldn't persuade him, she came up personally to look for him …
After being stunned for a while, Lu Tao forced a smile on his face and said, "Hello, Auntie Wu." Then, he waved his hand and gestured for her to come in.
