Chapter 14 Her tears were the most unbearable for him
"I really don't know why you are familiar with my project book."
An Ning took out a lipstick and looked at Li Hui, "But I'm sure that you gave me the excuse of red and asked me to go to the bathroom to touch up my makeup just to create an opportunity to switch it."
Li Hui's expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with surprise. "Lipstick?"
She quickly snatched the lipstick from An Ning's hand and said, "This is my lipstick, how come it's here with you?"
She seemed to understand and laughed, "I know, Sister An Ning. You deliberately stole my lipstick just to turn the tables on me. I always call you Sister An Ning, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning."
Li Hui's eyes welled up as she spoke. "I know you need a job, and you're afraid I'll take it away from you. But Sister An Ning, you can always find another job if you lose it. Do you think you can live with a clear conscience after doing something as detrimental as this?"
An Ning didn't expect Li Hui to be able to argue to this extent.
"This project book originally belonged to me! You are plagiarizing my work!"
Li Hui's words were flawless. Sun Jingying felt embarrassed in front of the two big bosses, Ou Teng, and her face turned grim. "An Ning! It's fine if you're embarrassed alone, but you also want Hao Wei to be embarrassed with you! Why do you think Li Hui would steal your project book without any evidence?"
Listening to their argument, Liang Xu flipped through Li Hui's project books. There were no signatures on these project books, so it was indeed difficult to prove who stole from whom.
The man who had been indifferent at the main seat suddenly spoke up, "Manager Sun, I don't think we at Ou Teng should spend our time watching your company perform."
Lu Xiyan stood up, his tone frivolous, "We'll discuss the project cooperation another day. I suggest that your company resolve the internal conflicts first."
His refusal to cooperate was obvious, but how could Sun Liangying accept that the cooperation that was about to be reached was now ruined? She couldn't let the project be blown because of a newcomer who hadn't even joined the company yet.
Seeing Lu Xiyan about to leave, Sun Liangying quickly argued, "Mr. Lu, An Ning hasn't joined Haowei yet. She's not an employee of Haowei. With her behavior, she won't be accepted by our Haowei. So what she said just now doesn't represent Haowei employees. We can still continue to discuss our cooperation."
An Ning's face turned pale and her body trembled uncontrollably. She couldn't believe that Sun Liangying would reject her before finding out the truth.
She saw the pride in Li Hui's eyes.
An Ning is unwilling to accept the fact that someone stole her work to get a high-paying job and was labeled a slanderer!
People from the Oteng Group stood up one after another and prepared to go out.
An Ning watched the tall figure almost reach the door. Just as he was about to take a step forward, she clenched her fists and shouted, "Mr. Lu! I can prove that the project book is mine!"
When An Ning shouted this, she was almost shaking all over.
The man at the door paused when he heard that, then turned around two seconds later, looking at her with frosty eyes, meeting her red ones.
He asked in a cold voice, word by word, "How do you prove it?"
There is no signature and no evidence. How can she prove it?
Li Hui thought about it in her mind and realized that An Ning had no evidence to prove his innocence!
An Ning met his gaze for just a second before quickly looking away.
She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. "In my project book, I underlined the important parts with a black pen."
Li Hui raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this. What kind of proof is this?
But the man's eyes were waiting for her to continue.
An Ning's heart was beating painfully. "The pen I used was specially customized. There is a tiny fluorescent light in the pen mark. If you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can see two letters - AN, my name."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
There is something so profound and mysterious in her handwriting.
Assistant Jiang Yao hurried out to get a magnifying glass.
Liang Xu frowned slightly and glanced at Lu Xiyan. The closer he was, the colder he looked.
Lu Xiyan slowly clenched his hands in his pockets, and his brows twitched slightly.
"How could there be a name in the handwriting?" Sun Liangying thought she was just making it up. "An Ning, are you out of your mind?"
Li Hui also didn't believe it. "Sister An Ning, you can't just make up stories to ruin my job."
"This pen was specially made in Italy." An Ning looked at Li Hui. "You'll know if I'm making this up after you see it."
At this time, a senior executive of the Outeng Group spoke up, "I have indeed heard of this kind of creative pen, but I heard that custom-made ones are very expensive."
The other party looked at An Ning and seemed to be sure from her attire that she couldn't afford to have a custom pen. He asked, "Miss An, how did you get this pen?"
It sounded like an ordinary question, but considering that Li Hui had just accused her of stealing lipstick, it sounded to An Ning as if she was saying that the origin of her pen was unknown.
"The origin of the pen doesn't seem to have anything to do with what happened today, right?"
An Ning's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "The most important thing now is to confirm whether what I just said is true."
"Could it be stolen too?" the man at the door said with a hint of ridicule.
An Ning suddenly looked over and met the man's frivolous eyes.
There was disgust and sarcasm in his eyes.
An Ning's face turned pale for a moment, and even her bright red lips lost some of their color.
She suddenly smiled softly, "Mr. Lu, you're worrying too much. This is a gift from my ex-husband."
Their eyes met, and a barely perceptible hint of obscurity flashed across Lu Xiyan's deep eyes. The hands hidden in his pockets were clenched into fists, and the bone rings turned white, but his stern face remained calm.
At this time, assistant Jiang Yao brought over a magnifying glass and immediately opened the project book to look at the marked area.
"Mr. Lu! Mr. Liang! There really is fluorescence, and there are letters!"
Jiang Yao shouted in surprise, and many people went to see.
Liang Xu turned his head to look at An Ning, then looked at Lu Xiyan.
Of course he knew there were fluorescent lights or letters.
Because that special pen was given to An Ning by Lu Xiyan.
He had it specially made for her with the prize money he earned from a car race when he nearly broke his leg.
He took a deep breath. These two people really are enemies.
Across the noisy and talking crowd, two pairs of eyes met in mid-air.
There were too many emotions in his eyes that An Ning couldn't understand, and it made her heart ache. She was the first to look away, tilting her eyes to the side, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Hui was still trying to defend herself, and Sun Liangying's face turned black.
The final result showed that the project book decided by Oteng Group was indeed An Ning's.
The moment the truth was announced, it was like a criminal who was wrongly executed getting the chance to have the truth revealed. An Ning turned around and ran out, feeling full of grievances.
......
In the dim corridor, An Ning took a deep breath, tilted her slender neck back, and forced back all the tears that were about to flow, preventing them from falling.
Someone once told her that tears are useless.
But someone also told her that her tears were the most irresistible weapon.
An Ning leaned on the stair railing, holding her pounding heart and breathing heavily.
Suddenly, the half-open corridor door was pushed open, and a tall and slender figure walked in.
An Ning suddenly stopped breathing.
