Chapter 181 Miss Lin Comes to Provoke Me
After the farce ended, everything returned to calm. They left after 10 p.m., and Gu Youran held Luo Zhiwei tightly, refusing to let go.
"Weiwei, I don't want to go home. Can I go back with you? I don't want to be alone. My brother is so uncaring. He never talks to me. I'm so bored."
Gu Beixiao: "..."
If I remember correctly, they didn't drink tonight. Oh, and they only opened the bottle of Romanée-Conti and poured a little for each person as a token gesture.
They are people who work every day, and they don't drink every day.
Not to mention, there are two girls here today, so they won't touch alcohol.
But why did Gu Youran, who was already quite drunk, dare to make fun of her brother?
These words left Luo Zhiwei speechless. She hugged Gu Youran with a troubled expression, saying, "Ranran, I live far away, and it's inconvenient for you to go to work tomorrow morning."
Gu Youran wouldn't listen; instead, she hugged Luo Zhiwei even tighter, refusing to let go no matter who pulled her.
Lu Jingxiao stepped forward to try to separate the two sisters, but Gu Youran was holding them too tightly, and he couldn't really pry them apart. If they were really separated, Weiwei might feel sorry for them, which wasn't worth it.
"No, I don't want to be separated from you. I want to whisper secrets to you. Have you forgotten how, after you were free, you talked about your longing and love for Lu Jingxiao every night until late at night? You..."
Hmm, hmm...
Luo Zhiwei's lips twitched incessantly. He hurriedly covered Gu Youran's mouth and smiled awkwardly: "It seems Ranran's alcohol tolerance is not good today. She got drunk after just one glass of red wine and started talking nonsense again."
She felt her heart pounding so hard it was about to jump out of her throat. That brat! That brat!
What nonsense are you spouting so late at night?
However, her attempt to cover up the truth instantly pleased the man in front of her.
So it turns out that Weiwei misses him so much, even when he can't see her.
Gu Youran suddenly seemed more pleasing to the eye, and it wasn't a bad idea to lend Weiwei to her at this moment.
It would be even better if you could say more.
Gu Youran looked aggrieved, her peach blossom eyes misty, and she whimpered twice.
Luo Zhiwei felt a pang of heartache and reluctantly let go of her hand. She immediately warned, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will never take care of you again."
Gu Youran shut up instantly, without the slightest hesitation, but she still muttered under her breath, "It's obvious, isn't it? Before, she couldn't stop talking about Lu Jingxiao, but now that he's back..."
Luo Zhiwei suddenly pushed her away, making her stumble, and then pretended to look disgusted as she said to Gu Beixiao, "It's getting late, you should take her back quickly and tell her not to talk nonsense."
She was too ashamed to look at Lu Jingxiao now. She could picture his face, all smiles and smugness, and he might even make a few teasing remarks.
Just thinking about it made her feel ashamed.
Trying to run away!
Gu Beixiao didn't care. It was alright, as long as he wasn't the only one who embarrassed himself, he was relieved. He and Weiwei were indeed siblings, their ways of embarrassing themselves were quite similar.
"Then I'll take it back. You guys go home early."
As soon as Gu Beixiao left, Li Huaijin chased after him, intending to take Gu Youran home as well, leaving Lu Jingxiao and Luo Zhiwei behind.
How could Lu Jingxiao possibly let go of the opportunity to ask questions, especially the proof that Weiwei loved him? He didn't want to miss it at all.
"Weiwei, you really... Weiwei, why didn't you call me before?"
Luo Zhiwei felt a little guilty and lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Lu Jingxiao's gaze. She didn't know, maybe she just didn't have the courage.
She had considered calling to inquire about his health, but... she was afraid that if Lu Jingxiao already had someone else in his life, her call would cause him trouble and bring her unnecessary problems.
This was something she didn't want to see, so... she never made that phone call.
Lu Jingxiao's questioning made her realize that she had been a coward back then. If she had been braver, things might have been different between them.
But at that time, she wasn't even sure how long she would live, so how could she delay Lu Jingxiao?
"At that time..." Luo Zhiwei stammered as she explained, "I didn't even know how long I had to live. Calling you would have been a waste of your time, wouldn't it?"
Lu Jingxiao felt as if he had been punched hard in the heart, the pain making it hard to breathe.
It's all my fault. If... I hadn't stormed off in a fit of pique, perhaps things would have been different.
"I'm sorry, baby, it's all my fault." Lu Jingxiao apologized with self-reproach.
Luo Zhiwei didn't take the past incident to heart. She smiled lightly and said, "Oh, don't listen to Ranran's nonsense. She was just drunk and talking nonsense."
Lu Jingxiao nodded slightly, obediently, and she did not ask any further questions.
"Let's go home."
"Uh-huh."
It's good to be home; once I'm home, I can forget everything that's happening right now.
The past is the past, there's no need to look back; what they need to do is move forward.
Her most important task now is to avenge her mother and bring the bad guys to justice.
**
The next day, Luo Zhiwei was working when she received a call from the front desk saying that someone was looking for her.
Who else could possibly come all the way to the Lu family to find her?
She thought it was Zhao Yulan who came to her door asking for money, but... it turned out not to be her.
She's... the eldest daughter of the Lin family, what's her name again?
Lin Churan.
Luo Zhiwei stood gracefully in front of Lin Churan, her fresh and elegant temperament making her seem approachable, which contrasted sharply with Lin Churan's arrogant demeanor.
Lin Churan glanced at Luo Zhiwei with disdain: "You're that little bitch from the auction?"
"I'm warning you, Brother Jingxiao is not someone you can covet. You'd better give up your little schemes and leave the Lu family as soon as possible, or else..."
She will definitely not let Luo Zhiwei off the hook.
She'd seen plenty of people like this since she was little—people who wanted to climb the social ladder and marry into wealthy families. But the Lu family wasn't a place just anyone could enter.
Luo Zhiwei is not qualified!
"Miss Lin, right? What I do or who I covet is none of your business. You're not my mother, so what right do you have to lecture me?" Luo Zhiwei was confident because of Lu Jingxiao's unwavering determination, which she found impeccable.
Even if Lu Jingxiao didn't exist, she wouldn't be a pitiful creature to be manipulated by others.
Back then, it was because I didn't want to live; I just wanted to keep some of my mother's belongings before I died. Now that I have her belongings, no one can do anything to her anymore.
Lin Churan was furious at being rebuked like that. She roared angrily, "Luo Zhiwei, you bitch! You seduced Brother Jingxiao, and you still dare to be so arrogant! Do you believe I'll tell Aunt Lu and make sure you can never set foot in the Lu family again?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
"No, are you alright, Miss Lin? This is our CEO's secretary, Luo Zhiwei. What nonsense are you spouting!"
This is the first time someone has caused trouble in the lobby of the Lu Corporation, Miss Lin. You are the first.
[I need to call Assistant Wei and ask the president to come down and take a look. Secretary Luo is being bullied by outsiders on Lu's territory; it's utterly outrageous!]
[Miss Lin, what's the point of saying all this? Our CEO only likes Secretary Luo. Who do you think you are? Get out of here. The Lu Corporation doesn't welcome you.]
It's no wonder they're so arrogant... The Lu family is just too protective of their own, and so are they. A secretary like Luo, who can accurately grasp the president's temper, must be deeply loved and respected!
