Chapter 99 You won’t be satisfied unless you kill him, right?
At this moment, crisp footsteps were heard on the second-floor stairs, followed by a figure in a neat suit appearing at the corner of the stairs.
Lu Xiyan came down with the documents and saw Cheng Wanwan standing in the office looking at him with a smile.
"When did you come?"
He walked down the stairs.
"I just arrived not long ago. Assistant Jiang said you were in the office, so I came in."
Cheng Wanwan walked up to him with a smile and said, "I didn't see you in the office, so I wondered if you were resting upstairs."
"Here!" She held up the thermos in her hand. "I learned how to make some soup from Cao Ma today. Try it and see if it tastes good."
"Thanks."
Lu Xiyan didn't answer and walked quickly to the desk.
Looking at the phone on the table, he habitually turned on the screen to take a look, and suddenly saw an unread text message.
He clicked it, and his cold eyes swept across the text message, his gaze falling on the last line of words - Can you trust me this time?
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he snorted coldly.
What confidence did she have to say the word "faith" to him?
Cheng Wanwan didn't offer the thermos to him. Instead, she looked at the man's cold and superior profile. His eyes were fixed on the phone in his hand, his expression deep and cold.
He was reading the message sent by An Ning.
Cheng Wanwan couldn't help but tighten the handle of the pot in her hand and exerted force with her fingers.
In front of her, Lu Xiyan always has no temper. Without temper, there is no warmth.
He was always cold and indifferent. He treated her properly and politely, but he had a sense of alienation that kept her at a distance. It seemed that no matter what she did, she could not arouse his interest at all, nor could he keep his gaze on her.
She is jealous of An Ning!
Even the coldness and disdain he showed as he stared at the text message at this moment made her jealous to the point of her heart boiling with jealousy.
Only peace can arouse his various emotions.
Cheng Wanwan stared at the phone in the man's hand, the resentment and anger in her heart almost overflowing.
Twenty-eight years of childhood sweethearts could not compare to the sudden appearance of An Ning.
It was like this four years ago, and it is still like this four years later!
She didn't understand why she was inferior to An Ning!
"What's wrong?"
As if feeling a strong gaze staring at him, the man turned off his phone and looked at her calmly.
Cheng Wanwan reacted and immediately suppressed her emotions. She curled her lips and walked over, "I'm wondering what message you're reading so seriously."
She placed the thermos on the table, deliberately revealing the scars on her hands. "Assistant Jiang said you didn't eat lunch. Drink some soup while it's still hot."
Lu Xiyan clearly saw the burn on the back of her hand and frowned slightly, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Cheng Wanwan quickly withdrew her hand, "I just accidentally burned it."
Lu Xiyan frowned and looked at the thermos on the table, "Don't do this kind of thing yourself in the future."
Hearing this, Cheng Wanwan felt warm in her heart. She had never expected Xiyan to care about her. The corners of her mouth curled up, "My parents are afraid that I will be burdened and don't let me worry about the company's affairs. I can't help you with anything. I don't have anything to do all day. If you like, I can make soup for you every day."
"Let me tell you, Mother Cao is really good at making soup. I've been in poor health since I was a child, so she's always found ways to make soup for me. I can learn a few recipes from her now, and from now on, every day—"
"I don't like soup."
Cheng Wanwan was interrupted by the man before she could finish her words. She was speechless for a moment and looked at the man.
Lu Xiyan looked at her injured hand and said, "Go back and treat the wound to prevent it from getting infected. Don't do this kind of thing again."
It was clearly a caring word, but his tone was calm.
Cheng Wanwan choked for a moment and nodded gently, "Yeah."
......
The first floor lobby of Oteng Group.
The young receptionist saw a familiar figure approaching from the doorway. Before the person even got close, she immediately expressed embarrassment, "Ms. An, the CEO's office has instructed that we won't accept any of your appointments."
She had to say that she really admired Miss An's perseverance. She came to see Mr. Lu every day without fail. This morning, she even brought Mr. Lu coffee in front of so many employees. Mr. Lu was very kind by not letting the security guard drag her out. But she actually came again in the afternoon!
From a distance, An Ning could see that the girl at the front desk had a wrinkled face. She must have caused her a lot of trouble these days.
"I'm sorry."
She approached and apologized, her attitude sincere, "But I'm not here to see Mr. Lu this time."
"Aren't you looking for Mr. Lu?" The girl's tone relaxed when she heard it. "Then who are you looking for, Miss An? Do you have an appointment?"
"I'm looking for your Vice President Liang, Liang Xu."
......
"sit."
The setting sun streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on the black desk in the office.
The man entertained him casually and asked his assistant to bring in a glass of milk.
An Ning looked at the milky white liquid in the transparent glass in front of her and was slightly stunned.
"Oh, sorry, I haven't seen you for a few years. I forgot to ask if Miss An's taste has changed." The man opposite asked politely, "Orange juice or coffee? I'll give you another one."
"No thanks." An Ning curled her lips and looked at the man sitting opposite her. "I'm still used to milk."
Liang Xu smiled gently, "Are you curious about why I know your preferences?"
An Ning smiled lightly and said, "You are Xi Yan's best friend. I guess he told you about it before."
She was just a little surprised that four years had passed and Liang Xu still remembered him.
Hearing her calmly say the word "Western Banquet", Liang Xu's inquiring eyes fell on the woman's beautiful face.
"Lu Xiyan used to be really annoying. She had to brag about her relationship to us, even telling us her likes and dislikes, just to avoid making you feel uncomfortable in front of us. I've heard her so many times that my ears are callused. It's hard for me to forget now."
Liang Xu stared at the woman's slightly trembling eyes, smiled, and continued, "But he is indeed the most pitiful. The second young master of the Lu family has never suffered any hardship, but he was toyed with and thrown away like a stray dog. The whole of Jinghai is laughing at him. Tell me, is he pitiful?"
Hearing this, An Ning's heart was stabbed hard, and even breathing was painful.
"If Miss An came back this time to see him laugh, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Liang Xu's tone was not harsh, but it was filled with a hint of mockery. "You can see that he is doing very well now."
As Lu Xiyan's best friend, Liang Xu's words were targeted at her, and An Ning understood what he meant.
If it were her, if Song Xiaoyu was deceived by a man for two years and then dumped mercilessly, she would definitely go and settle the score with that bastard.
She understood Liang Xu's hostility towards her and accepted it.
At this moment, it was already a great thing that Liang Xu still gave her a chance to see her.
An Ning smiled gently, "Mr. Liang, thank you."
Lu Xiyan must have gone through some difficult times. She was grateful to Liang Xu for being by Lu Xiyan's side at that time, and now for being his business partner and lending him a helping hand.
Liang Xu didn't expect that after he said so much, she didn't show any emotion at all. Not only was she not angry, but she also thanked him inexplicably.
He looked into An Ning's gentle and calm eyes and asked, "What have I done to deserve Miss An's thanks?"
"Thank you, Mr. Liang, for meeting me despite past grudges." An Ning smiled, "I'm not meeting Mr. Liang today for business."
Liang Xu chuckled and leaned back in his chair, "Don't tell me you did this for Lu Xiyan?"
"Yes." An Ning answered without hesitation.
"Miss An, I really don't understand what you are up to."
Liang Xu's eyes became sharp. "It was you who deceived him, betrayed him, and toyed with his feelings. It was you who sold him out, took the money, and walked away. Now it's you who's come back and pestered him!"
Hearing that An Ning came to see Lu Xiyan every day these days gave him a headache. Lu Xiyan clearly had a hundred ways to prevent her from entering Ou Teng's door, but he had to let her come to disturb him again and again!
"Miss An, you won't be satisfied unless you kill him, right? What on earth does Lu Xiyan owe you?"
