Chapter 80 How about we break off our friendship?
Li Huaijin was kicked out and was extremely frustrated and irritable.
Tsk, I wonder what the third brother did to make Gu Youran so heartless as to kick him out...
When has he, the eldest son of the prestigious Li family, ever suffered such humiliation?
This is absolutely outrageous.
But unfortunately, he had nowhere to complain.
So much so that when Lu Jingxiao arrived at the company the next day and opened his office, he thought the company's trade secrets had been stolen.
Lu Jingxiao looked at Li Huaijin with a dark expression: "When did you get here?"
Li Huaijin sat up from the sofa like a ghost, slumped down and straightened his clothes, even vainly running his fingers through his hair: "I came here yesterday, but you weren't here, so I can only... stay here."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Did you think I was like you?
I'm a man who makes sure to come home on time.
You and me!
no the same!
Lu Jingxiao walked to his desk and called on the intercom: "Assistant Wei, make two cups of coffee."
He sat in his office chair, looking at Li Huaijin casually, and said jokingly, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
Li Huaijin got up and sat opposite him, looking somewhat dejected. He rubbed his temples helplessly and looked at Lu Jingxiao speechlessly: "Did you offend someone outside?"
"What?"
"Otherwise, why would Gu Youran kick me out as soon as she heard your name?" Li Huaijin said as if he had come up with a good idea: "You... how about I break off our friendship?"
Lu Jingxiao: "???"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
No, do you want to hear what you're saying?
They really deserve a beating.
Is this reasonable?
wrong.
Lu Jingxiao finally realized what was going on: "Who are you talking about, Gu Youran?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Lu Jingxiao was somewhat confused, even a little bewildered: "When did you get involved with her?"
That's Weiwei's best friend; he would absolutely not let Li Huaijin do anything reckless.
"Me... Gu Youran and I..."
QQ—
"Enter."
Luo Zhiwei brought in the coffee. She placed it on her desk as a matter of routine, but showed no intention of leaving.
She looked at Li Huaijin and asked softly, "Mr. Li, did Ranran do anything wrong? If she upset you, I can apologize on her behalf, but I believe Ranran didn't do it on purpose."
Li Huaijin: "......"
I haven't even said anything yet, and all I've done is apologize and say I believe Gu Youran.
But the crucial point is, he is the victim.
He was slept with by Gu Youran, and Gu Youran didn't even take responsibility. After learning about his relationship with Lu Jingxiao, her initial cautious unease towards her suddenly turned into anger.
They kicked him out with a mix of pushing, shoving, and cursing, showing him absolutely no mercy.
How could he possibly accept this?!
He originally came to find Lu Jingxiao to vent his frustrations, but the guy wasn't there... so he stayed here all night.
I'm still being bombarded with these touching displays of best friend affection.
"Miss Luo, you don't even know what Gu Youran did, yet you're in such a hurry to apologize?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
This can be considered an implicit agreement.
In her heart, no one was better than You Ran.
Li Huaijin was almost laughing in anger. He said jokingly, "Miss Luo, I did open the safe for you, and this is how you repay me?"
Luo Zhiwei remained silent; she had forgotten about it.
She hesitated for only a second—or rather, she had forgotten about it—before realizing it: "Mr. Li, let's keep things separate."
Li Huaijin: "......"
I'm so angry! Destroy it!
Seeing that Li Huaijin was angry and looked like he wanted to devour someone, Lu Jingxiao quickly asked Luo Zhiwei to leave.
Sometimes this guy can't control his emotions. If he gets really angry later, both he and Luo Zhiwei will suffer.
"Secretary Luo, please prepare the materials for the meeting in a little while. My second brother and I have something to discuss."
Luo Zhiwei nodded. It really wasn't appropriate for her to stand here; she should leave as soon as possible.
After she left, Lu Jingxiao's eyes turned sharp, and he warned coldly, "If you dare to scare Weiwei, I'll cripple you."
Li Huaijin: "......"
Who exactly is the second brother, and why is this person threatening him?
"Lu Jingxiao, I'm supposed to be your second brother, how dare you threaten me like this?"
I haven't done anything yet, is that appropriate?
"It concerns Weiwei, even if you were my own brother, it wouldn't matter."
Li Huaijin: "......"
He's probably here to be tortured.
I'm really annoyed to have been warned!
I'm unhappy.
Seeing Li Huaijin's frustration, Lu Jingxiao softened his attitude a bit: "Take it easy on yourself. Gu Youran is Weiwei's best friend. She has saved Weiwei many times over the years. Just for that, she is my benefactor for life. Don't go too far."
The implication is quite clear.
If you dare to hurt Weiwei's friends, I don't mind fighting you!
Li Huaijin suddenly felt a bit aggrieved; who was bullying whom here?
"Lu Jingxiao, how dare you say that? Gu Youran was so polite to me before, but as soon as she mentioned her relationship with you, she became a completely different person. Did you offend her?"
Just thinking about it makes me angry!
Lu Jingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is that so?"
I don't know anything.
"when?"
"Yesterday!"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
It seems they're taking their anger out on Li Huaijin.
Gu Youran wouldn't dare do anything to him, after all, he had just taken a project from him, so he probably wouldn't turn against him. But his... brothers might not get a good look.
Lu Jingxiao had no intention of standing up for Li Huaijin. He simply said, "Don't mess with her if you don't have to. She's Gu Beixiao's sister, after all. You know how crazy Gu Beixiao is."
Li Huaijin: "......"
Would I be afraid of him?
Well, that's not necessarily true.
Li Huaijin suddenly realized something and looked at Lu Jingxiao: "Where did the boss go? He hasn't been seen since he gave Miss Luo a blood transfusion. What did he do?"
Lu Jingxiao was silent for a moment. He hadn't noticed it before, but after Li Huaijin reminded him, something seemed off.
"I don't know either, but it seems like they went to investigate something, and they're not in the capital."
Li Huaijin had a vague recollection of it, but he wasn't quite sure what it was about.
What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?
Li Huaijin sat in Lu Jingxiao's office for a while longer, but when he got bored, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Let's all get together in a few days."
The boss should be back by then.
They can't just go away for so long and not come back.
——
Li Huaijin encountered Luo Zhiwei outside the office and suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with amusement: "Miss Luo, do you know what Gu Youran likes?"
Luo Zhiwei: "...I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I didn't know."
She wouldn't casually tell Ranran's preferences to people she didn't know well.
Li Huaijin: "......"
Are you still wary of me at a time like this?
That can't be true!
“Miss Luo, I won’t bully her, you don’t need to be so wary of me.”
Luo Zhiwei twitched her lips: "President Li, even if I were to tell you Ranran's preferences, I would need her consent."
But... she didn't need to ask to know that Ranran would never tell!
Li Huaijin sighed heavily, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He had finally become interested in this woman, but unexpectedly, he encountered obstacles at every turn.
He could only give up helplessly: "Miss Luo, we're getting together in a few days. You and Lu Jingxiao can come together."
"I...."
He didn't give Luo Zhiwei a chance to refute him at all, and Li Huaijin strode away...
