Chapter 179 I Don’t Need You to Send Me Off, I Can Go by Myself

On Sunday morning, the shrill sound of the alarm clock broke the silence of the room.

Song Rui suddenly sat up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said to himself with a look of despair:

"It's such a nice weekend, but I still have to work. I look like I have a very hard life."

He sighed helplessly, got up slowly, dressed, washed up simply, and hurried to the company.

When he arrived at the company, Song Rui was surprised to find that other assistants had arrived earlier than him today, even Xu Nanxing, who was on sick leave.

I heard that Xu Nanxing had taken sick leave a few days ago, but I didn't expect him to show up in the office early today. Song Rui walked up and asked with concern:

"Assistant Xu, are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, much better."

Xu Nanxing smiled at Song Rui, but the smile was a little forced and his eyes flickered.

In fact, Xu Nanxing was not sick at all. A few days ago, Lu Yiran asked her to resign. She was afraid that what Lu Yiran said was true, so she pretended to be sick and did not come to the company.

In the past few years, she has always regarded herself as Lu Yiran's girlfriend in Dingsheng Group. If she is really fired by Lu Yiran, where will she put her face? She is afraid of being laughed at by others, so she has not come to the company.

But in the past two days, she did not receive any notification from the Human Resources Department, and she guessed that Lu Yiran might just be trying to scare her.

After all, how could he really let her quit? So today she came to the company early and continued to work.

Seeing that Xu Nanxing was not seriously injured, Song Rui returned to his workstation and started working.

In the past two days, Lu Yiran came back and his workload was reduced by half. Compared with before, it was extremely easy.

He even had the leisure to go to the tea room to pour himself a cup of coffee and leisurely enjoy this rare leisure time.

When coming out of the tea room, Song Rui happened to see Xu Nanxing following Lu Yiran into the president's office.

He didn't think much about it, just shrugged and returned to his workstation to continue working.

In the CEO's office, Xu Nanxing stood in front of Lu Yiran, feeling uneasy. She asked cautiously:

"Brother Yiran, is there something you want me to come in for?"

When Lu Yiran heard this name, his brows slightly frowned and he said in a cold tone:

"This is the company. Call me Mr. Lu from now on."

Xu Nanxing's expression changed instantly. She had worked here for five years. Except when she went out for social events with Lu Yiran, she would call him "Mr. Lu". Otherwise, she always called him "Brother Yiran".

Lu Yiran had never objected to this, but today he suddenly asked her to change her mind.

Xu Nanxing felt very unhappy, but she did not show it. As long as she could stay with Lu Yiran, changing the name was not unacceptable to her.

She took a deep breath and was about to call Mr. Lu, but she heard Lu Yiran suddenly say:

"Forget it, no need to change it."

Hearing this, Xu Nanxing's heart skipped a beat, and a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yiran was reluctant to let her change her name? Did he still have her in his heart?

However, before she could recover from her secret joy, Lu Yiran's next words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing her hope.

"You won't be working here anymore anyway."

Xu Nanxing's mood suddenly fell from a high point to the bottom in an instant like riding a roller coaster. She stood there in a daze, her face pale, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

Xu Nanxing was stunned for a long time before he spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling slightly:

"Brother Yiran, are you really going to drive me away?"

Lu Yiran glanced at her coldly, without a trace of fluctuation in his tone:

"Do you think I'm kidding you?"

Xu Nanxing was suddenly speechless. Yes, the man in front of him was the president of Dingsheng Group, the prince who had the final say in the Beijing circle.

He has always been decisive in his actions and never changes his decisions easily. How could she naively think that he would suddenly change his mind?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Yiran continued:

"I'll have someone send you back to Country M. You've been there for a few years, so you should be able to adapt well."

Xu Nanxing raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief:

"What do you mean? I will never be able to return to my country again?"

"That's right."

Lu Yiran's voice was cold and resolute, as if he was sentencing her to fate.

Xu Nanxing's heart sank to the bottom. She bit her lip and tried to make a final struggle:

"No! If you drive me away, what will happen to my mother? I am her only daughter. Do you want to separate us?"

She knew that she was using her mother as a shield, but she had no choice. She couldn't leave here, she couldn't leave Lu Yiran. If she left, she would never come back.

Lu Yiran's face darkened instantly, and a hint of impatience and disgust appeared in his eyes.

He hated being threatened the most in his life, especially being kidnapped by emotions. He said coldly:

"I'll find someone to take care of Madam Liu. You don't need to worry."

Xu Nanxing was unwilling to give in and continued to argue:

"No! If my mom knew you were going to kick me out, she would hate you!"

Lu Yiran's voice suddenly rose, with a sense of oppression

"Xu Nanxing, don't be shameless. I take care of your family because of the friendship we had when we were young. You know in your heart that I have been very kind to your family over the years. Don't destroy the friendship we had in the past for your own sake. You can't afford the consequences."

Xu Nanxing was frightened by Lu Yiran's aura and his face turned pale in an instant.

This was the first time she saw Lu Yiran looking at her with such an expression, his eyes were as cold as if he was looking at a stranger.

His patience seemed to have reached its limit, as if he would explode completely in the next second.

Xu Nanxing finally faced the reality. It turned out that she was nothing in Lu Yiran's heart.

All the kindness and so-called care I had received were all for my mother's sake.

She and Lu Yiran had known each other for so many years and had worked beside him for so many years, but he could ruthlessly drive her away without even bothering to give her an explanation.

In Lu Yiran's eyes, her companionship and her dedication were worthless.

Lu Yiran, you are so cruel.

Xu Nanxing sneered in his heart, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

She felt like she was really blind. How could she fall in love with such a selfish and cold-blooded person?

For so many years, she always thought that she was special in Lu Yiran's heart. Even if it was just a small corner, it was enough for her to have fantasies.

But now, she realized that she was just a chess piece that he could discard at will. Lu Yiran like this made her feel unfamiliar and heartbroken.

"I understand. I can walk by myself. You don't need to send me off."

Xu Nanxing said this coldly, turned around and walked out of the president's office. There was no warmth in her voice, as if announcing that the last connection between them was completely broken.
