With a "bang", the enamel jar in Chen Meiqin's hand fell to the ground, and wolfberries and red dates were scattered all over the floor.
Her eyes flickered, and a smile was plastered on her face. "Captain, what are you talking about? You can't wrongly accuse a good person."
As he spoke, he squeezed next to Jiang Ningyan and tried to pull her hand, "Comrade Jiang, we are in the same office. How could I harm you?"
Jiang Ningyan took a step back to avoid her, biting her lip, her eyes wet, "Director Chen, if you have any objections to me, you can tell me directly. I'm still willing to help you, but how could you hurt me like this..."
Chen Meiqin's smile froze, and she lowered her voice, "Xiao Jiang, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, let's go back to the office and talk about it. Don't make a scene here and make things awkward for everyone."
Jiang Ningyan seemed frightened and hid behind Lu Bingchuan, her voice rising several degrees:
"Director Chen, it's already this late. Do you think threatening me will be of any use? No matter how much you hate me, I was admitted here based on my own abilities..."
Chen Meiqi gritted her teeth and could hardly hold back the smile on her face.
You little bitch, you got to act.
The people around saw this and became angry.
"How can you bully others like this? What Chen Meiqin did was so unkind!"
"She was the one who fabricated rumors and slandered Comrade Jiang. We can all testify to that!"
Lu Bingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "The evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"
Chen Meiqin finally couldn't hold it anymore. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes and her voice became sharp. "So what if I said it?"
"But what have I done wrong? She's from the countryside, how could she have such a good job? Why is she so indifferent to me? I just can't stand it!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
Lu Bingchuan's expression darkened completely. He turned to look at Liu Jinbu and said, "This matter must be dealt with seriously."
Liu Jinbu nodded, his face livid. "Director Chen, I'll suspend you from your duties and reflect on your actions from now on. Report to the Disciplinary Committee immediately!"
Chen Meiqi trembled all over, her legs felt weak, and she fell to the ground.
Outside the crowd, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't bear it any longer and raised his leg to rush in.
But after receiving a vicious look from Chen Meiqi, he stopped abruptly.
He gritted his teeth and understood what his aunt meant: as long as he stayed here, he would have opportunities to take revenge on Jiang Ningyan in the future!
After the excitement was over, the crowd began to disperse.
Wang Jianfen's face turned as red as a tomato after being yelled at by her husband.
"Comrade Su, I was wrong. I'm so sorry."
Jiang Ningyan crossed her arms and looked at her calmly, "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly."
Wang Jianfen took a deep breath and spoke a little louder, "I'm sorry, I was confused and believed the rumors... I, I apologize to you..."
Thinking of her husband's stern warning just now, she felt a pang of fear in her heart.
Jiang Ningyan is a member of the Lu family, so it will be easy for her to make trouble for her husband in the future.
And because she believed the words of that vicious woman Chen Meiqin, she almost brought her family to ruin!
Wang Jianfen steeled her heart and slapped herself hard, "Comrade Su, please be magnanimous and forgive me!"
After the slap, her face suddenly swelled up.
Jiang Ningyan reached out to stop her and sighed softly, "You were also deceived by someone. I don't blame you."
"Rather than apologizing to me, shouldn't you settle the score with the culprit?"
Wang Jianfen was stunned for a moment, then two flames flashed in her eyes, "Yes, yes!"
Liu Jinbu had a terrible headache, fearing that she would do something embarrassing again, so he quickly came over to grab her and persuaded her to leave.
Before leaving, he turned around and apologized, "Comrade Jiang, we will come to your house another day to apologize..."
Seeing the man walking away, Jiang Ningyan stopped pretending, raised the corner of her mouth, and turned to the man beside her.
"By the way, why are you here?"
"I was in a meeting when I heard someone report the news, so I came here with Captain Liu."
Lu Bingchuan's eyes were heavy. "Someone is bullying you. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Since the rumor had reached Captain Liu's wife, it must have spread throughout the unit long ago. Jiang Ningyan couldn't have been unaware of it, yet she never complained to him at all.
Jiang Ningyan stared at him with her dark eyes, pretending to be surprised. "If I tell you, will you come and support me?"
Lu Bingchuan frowned slightly, "What kind of person do you think I am?"
Cold-blooded and ruthless, standing idly by?
Jiang Ningyan stuck out her tongue, "I know."
In fact, she thought about telling Lu Bingchuan, but the idea disappeared in an instant. She always felt that Lu Bingchuan would choose to avoid suspicion and keep his distance from her.
Gao Qiaolan watched them chatting with a smile on her face, the smile on her lips becoming more and more loving. She did not say anything to interrupt them, but turned around and left.
…
Lu family.
Above the dining table, the ceiling light cast a warm yellow glow.
Jiang Ningyan held her chin with one hand and watched Su Pianran pick up the spinach from the bowl and put it on the table for the third time.
On her white wrist, she wore the gold bracelet that Gao Qiaolan had just given her, which made her wrist look even more slender.
Noticing her gaze, Su Pianran touched the bracelet vaguely and smiled softly.
Gao Qiaolan was busy all day and ate in a hurry.
After a while, he put down his chopsticks and stood up, "I still have work to deal with, you guys eat first."
After Gao Qiaolan left, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle.
"Brother Lu..." Su Pianran suddenly held her forehead with her hand, deliberately unbuttoning two buttons on the collar of her white dress, "I feel dizzy, can you..."
"The clinic is on Jianye Road." Lu Bingchuan said without batting an eyelid. "Turn left outside the gate and go straight for 500 meters."
