At their first meeting, Sang Wan took one look at Lu Tingzhou and was immediately drawn to him. At their next meeting, she approached him with a purpose, deliberately teasing and provoking him. Som...
Chapter 53 Sang Wan's cheeks instantly blushed
Sang Wan blinked in confusion, then belatedly shifted her gaze from Lu Tingzhou's handsome face to the LCD screen in front of him.
On the screen, there were more than a dozen elites in suits and ties, all looking at them in unison, their expressions filled with shock but also with... meaningful smiles.
He was actually having a video conference!
Sang Wan's cheeks flushed instantly.
Almost as if it were a conditioned reflex, she jumped up from Lu Tingzhou, picked up her bag to cover her face and ran away.
The next second, she sat on the large leather sofa in the front reception area, curled herself up into a small ball, and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
So embarrassing!
She secretly raised her eyes and glared angrily at the man behind the desk who remained calm and composed, even with a playful smile on his lips.
He definitely did it on purpose, even though he had the chance to remind her.
Lu Tingzhou seemed to sense her resentful gaze, raised his eyes to look at her, the smile in his eyes deepened a little, but he did not tease her anymore.
His expression straightened and he turned his attention back to the meeting, calm and sharp, with a powerful aura.
Looking at the side profile of the man concentrating on his work, his jaw line is cold and sexy, and the strategic planning between his eyebrows is very charming.
The shame and anger that Sang Wan had just felt dissipated unconsciously.
Instead, there is love and pride that is full and almost overflowing.
She just lay on the sofa, propped up her chin, staring at him blankly, not even willing to blink.
Lu Tingzhou looked at her, a smile that only girls could see appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She was caught in someone's gaze, and she lowered her eyes and began to browse her phone. A pop-up window of entertainment news popped up, with an extremely eye-catching headline -
[Rich family turmoil! The old man of the Lu family went to Beijing in person, suspected to pick up the "young prince" of the Lu family! ]
The news also included several high-definition photos.
One photo showed the old man of the Lu family holding a little boy who looked to be three or four years old, his face beaming with joy. Song Xinran stood gently beside him, smiling sweetly, her eyes filled with maternal love as she looked at the child.
One was a photo of Lu Tingzhou sending them to Beijing. He was holding the child with a nervous look on his face, and Song Xinran was following beside him, seemingly holding onto the corner of his clothes.
Netizens recognized the enviable woman in the photo - Song Xinran, a designer at MODO.
Many people discussed that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family by virtue of her son's status.
Sang Wan, who was full of joy, felt a buzzing in his head at this moment, as if someone poured a basin of ice water over his head, making him cold from head to toe.
My mood, which was sunny just now, suddenly fell to the bottom and was covered with dark clouds.
The tips of her fingers holding the phone turned white from the force, her chest felt stuffy and anxious, and a nameless anger rose up.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the man who was still in a meeting not far away.
The handsome face that made her infinitely fascinated and that she felt she could never get tired of looking at for the rest of her life, now looked angry when she looked at it.
Although I know that most of the gossip on the Internet is not credible, what does it mean that he can let such things leak out?
Sang Wan stood up from the sofa, grabbed the bag next to her, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Lu Tingzhou was discussing the investment plan with the people in the meeting. When he noticed the movement, he looked up and saw her back as she walked towards the door angrily.
"Wanwan," he frowned, confused, "Where are you going?"
Sang Wan turned a deaf ear and walked faster.
Just as she was about to open the office door, Lu Tingchang took a few steps and caught up with her, pressing the door handle first.
"What's wrong?" He asked in a deep voice, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness in his tone, "Who made you unhappy?"
Sang Wan then turned around, her beautiful peach blossom eyes red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Get out of the way."
There was a hint of crying in the low voice.
"What happened?" Lu Tingzhou looked at her like this, feeling distressed and helpless.
This little thing gets angry quickly and never tells the reason.
At this time, Lin Hao walked in hurriedly with his cell phone in hand: "Boss Lu, this..."
I saw two people, one crying and the other comforting him.
Lin Hao stopped talking instantly, wishing he had never come in.
Lu Tingzhou caught a glimpse of the news headline on the phone screen out of the corner of his eye, his heart sank, and he instantly understood why the little fox was angry.
"Wanwan, please listen to my explanation." He slowed down his tone and tried to pull Sang Wan's hand.
Sang Wan suddenly shook off his hand, opened the office door, and left without looking back.
"Sang Wan!"
Lu Tingzhou suppressed his temper and shouted, then immediately chased after him.
However, when he chased after her, the elevator door was slowly closing, and the slender and resolute figure disappeared behind the door.
He punched the wall in frustration.
Lin Hao followed him out, and seeing his boss's grim expression, he asked cautiously, "Boss Lu, this news..."
Lu Tingzhou took out his cell phone with a serious face and dialed Lu Qishan's number.
The call was quickly connected, and Lu Tingzhou's voice was cold and stern, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"What can I do? Since you can't bear to leave her, I'll help you."
"You have no right to interfere in my affairs."
Lu Tingzhou hung up the phone and fell silent, looking terribly gloomy.
As a result, everyone in the entire office was silent.
After thinking for a while, he gave a simple explanation, "Remove the news, then issue a statement to make Kaikai's background public."
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, and shook his head secretly as he looked at Lu Tingzhou who had already left. The father and son were at odds with each other.
But what is this old man thinking? Even if it is a great favor, he can't repay it like this.
Let Mr. Lu pledge himself to me, this...
Sang Wan left Lu's company and felt very upset. She was indeed very angry just now, but now she understood that it was just that Lu Qishan didn't want her to bother him.
But when he saw Lu Tingzhou holding the child and Song Xinran holding him, he felt uncomfortable.
I just felt that my sincerity had been wasted, and I hurried back to see him, only to give her such a big gift.
So he made an appointment with Qu You and Su Mo to have dinner at the Royal Court.
Lu Tingzhou returned to Jingyuan and saw that no one had returned, so he called Sang Wan.
He called, and the little girl hung up. He called again, and she hung up again.
Just as he was getting anxious, Shen Yubai’s phone rang.
Seeing his name, Lu Tingzhou felt even more annoyed. How could this man be so carefree and change women at will?
I didn't want to answer the call, so I just hung up.
"Buzz—"
The phone vibrated again.
Chen Yubai sent a message: [Your woman didn't look for you when she came back, but had dinner with someone else instead. Are you not capable of that? ]
This provocation is simply adding fuel to the fire.
Lu Tingzhou's temples throbbed and he instantly called back.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Yubai's lazy voice carried undisguised gloating: "Oh, President Lu is finally willing to talk to me."
"Where is she?" Lu Tingzhou's voice was cold, with suppressed impatience.
"Imperial Court, Youlan Box." Chen Yubai chuckled, "Tsk, your little rose has thorns. She just came back and ordered two bottles of red wine worth 100,000 yuan."
One hundred thousand worth of red wine, and two bottles?
Lu Tingzhou frowned, then he remembered that he had been so distracted that he didn't pay attention to the consumption reminder of the secondary card.
That little thing was really angry and took it out on his money.
"knew."
He hung up the phone in a deep voice, started the car and rushed into the night.
…
Imperial Court, Orchid Box.
Sang Wan's face was slightly tipsy, with a peach-like blush at the corners of her eyes. She held up a high-heeled glass and clinked it with Su Mo and Qu You.
"Momo, Youyou, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight!" Her voice was deliberately heroic.
Su Mo glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Lu Tingzhou?"
Sang Wan curled her lips, tilted her head back and took a sip of red wine. The cool liquid slid down her throat, but it couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"Don't mention that guy!"
Qu You gently advised, "Wanwan, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart."
"I'm not really sulking, I just feel like I've been pretty useless lately." Sang Wan snorted and poured herself another half glass.
She felt that her emotions had been too out of control recently, and Lu Tingzhou could easily influence her. This loss of control made her feel that she was no different from those kept canaries.
Just at this moment, the door of the box was pushed open, and Shen Yubai's handsome face that attracted bees and butterflies peeked in.
"Hey, it's you guys. What's the good news today?" He raised his peach blossom eyes and fixed his gaze on the incredibly expensive bottle of red wine on the table. His smile deepened. "What a generous gesture."
Sang Wan glanced at him sideways and said unhappily, “Compared to Mr. Shen, it’s nothing.”
Chen Yubai didn't get angry. He pulled a chair and sat down, pouring himself a glass of wine: "Did that guy Lu Tingzhou offend you? Tell me, I'll help you vent your anger."
Then he thought about the news in the evening and couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Tingzhou. His father was really idle and had nothing to do, so he was messing around.
Sang Wan snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Everyone knew that he and Lu Tingzhou were in cahoots.
She drank a little too quickly and stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Su Mo was worried: "I'll accompany you."
"No need, I'm not a child." Sang Wan waved her hand and walked out in high heels.
The corridors of the Imperial Court are covered with thick carpets and dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of privacy and luxury.
Sang Wan walked to the bathroom door and was about to go in when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Lan was wearing a mask. She looked around and then quickly slipped into a private room.
He looked so nervous, as if he had done something wrong.
Sang Wan raised her eyebrows, curiosity aroused.
Who is she meeting? Why does it feel so sneaky?
Sang Wan tiptoed over and stopped by the half-open door.
Just as the door was about to close completely, she caught a glimpse of Wang Sheng's disgusting face in the private room.
Sang Wan's suspicions grew even stronger. Why would Lin Lan be so sneaky when she saw Wang Sheng?
