Xia Zhi gasped for breath, looking at Lin Yuqing with a mixture of hatred and fear.
At this moment, the Lu family's driver arrived and stopped in front of them.
Lin Yuqing glanced at Xia Zhi, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.
"Ugh... Ugh!" Suddenly a strange sound came from behind them. Lin Yuqing turned around and saw a man with his head wrapped up tightly running towards them, swaying his fat body.
Lin Yuqing was taken aback, but noticed that Xia Zhi's expression was somewhat unnatural.
The fat man finally managed to tear a gap in the gauze covering his mouth, smiled obsequiously, bowed, and mumbled incoherently:
"Madam, I am Hu Liansheng. It is a great honor to meet you here today!"
"What an honor it is to see me in the hospital!"
"Well……"
Hu Liansheng paused for a moment.
The driver whispered in Lin Yuqing's ear, "He is the manager and the main person in charge of the film and television city project."
“Oh,” Lin Yuqing nodded, “So it’s Manager Hu.”
"Yes, hehe...it's me!"
"How did it get like this?"
Hu Liansheng slowly turned his head and glared at Xia Zhi.
Even without being explicitly stated, Lin Yuqing could guess what was going on from Xia Zhi's sinister gaze and the expression on her face.
"Manager Hu, since you're injured, don't stand here. Go back to your ward and rest."
Hu Liansheng bowed and scraped, repeatedly saying he was fine, and insisted on seeing Lin Yuqing into the car.
Xia Zhi remained silent, her expression already quite unpleasant.
Lin Yuqing sneered, and before getting into the car, she turned to look at Xia Zhi, "Miss Xia, if I remember correctly, you are Wen Jie's girlfriend, right?"
Xia Zhi was startled, and when she looked up, she saw that Hu Liansheng's expression was even colder.
"Now that you're someone else's girlfriend, you know the meaning of shame, don't I have to teach you?" Lin Yuqing curled her lips. "You're a college student, you should know more than me."
Xia Zhi bit her lip, her face turning deathly pale with anger, and her whole body trembling.
After Lin Yuqing's car drove away, Hu Liansheng glared at her fiercely, muttering indistinctly, "Bitch..."
Xia Zhi was instantly furious. "What did you say?!"
"Am I wrong?" Hu Liansheng retorted confidently, "She's hooking up with her boyfriend while trying to get benefits from me at the same time!"
"Hu Liansheng, do you think you're clean? You want to line your own pockets with the Lu family's money? If you piss me off, I'll expose everything you've got!"
Hu Liansheng shook his head; the wound on his head was still throbbing, and he had no mood to argue with her.
Xia Zhi stared at Hu Liansheng's plump back and stomped her foot hard!
My phone vibrated; it was a message from Wen Jie.
“Last time we had coffee, your coffee cost 42 yuan and mine cost 35 yuan. We also ordered a cake for 20 yuan, but I didn’t touch it and you ate it all. So you should transfer 62 yuan to me.”
Next is a QR code for receiving payments.
Xia Zhi was furious and about to scream when Wen Jie sent another message:
“I drove both times we went out, so I won’t ask you for the gas money. But don’t make me pick you up next time, since gas prices are quite high these days. I plan to take the subway.”
"ah--"
Xia Zhi went crazy, shouting out all her resentment.
Back then, she was the one who actively pursued Wen Jie, just wanting to have a powerful backer.
Unexpectedly, this big tree not only offered no shade, but also brought daily storms and torrential rain.
Since they started dating, they've always split the bill. Xia Zhi has hinted and suggested he pay, but he retorted that he's a straight man and would never pay for a girl.
Xia Zhi thought he was a clueless naive guy who had never been in a relationship, but she never expected that the lawyer's shrewdness would be used on her.
Following Wen Jie, she won't even get a piece of chocolate, let alone a house!
That's why she got close to Hu Liansheng.
But……
Xia Zhi let out a heavy sigh. It turns out that men are all unreliable.
But why is Jiang Mianmian's man reliable?
Even Lu Ran, who came from such a humble background, has someone who cares for her!
She clenched her fists tightly, and malice, like a flame, blazed fiercely in her eyes.
*
It was already past 10 p.m., and Jiang Mianmian was still intently staring at the design drawings in her office.
She stretched and saw Lu Ran across from her give her a slight smile and wink.
She then realized that Huo Junyu had entered at some point.
Jiang Mianmian gasped softly, then playfully punched him, saying, "Why do you walk so quietly?!"
"I knocked on the door," Huo Junyu said with a smile. "You were too focused on your work to hear me."
"Look, I even brought you a late-night snack."
When Jiang Mianmian saw the delicate little lunchbox he was carrying, she suddenly felt hungry, so she put down her work and prepared to enjoy it.
Lu Ran sensibly turned off the computer, got up and walked out.
"I won't bother you two any longer, I'm leaving now!"
"Hey, Ranran, you should eat something too..."
"Yangyang is waiting for her downstairs." Huo Junyu chuckled softly. "Don't worry, she won't go hungry!"
He wanted some alone time with his partner, so of course there couldn't be anyone else in the office. So when he came to deliver the late-night snack, he also pulled Huo Junyang, who rarely went to bed early, out of bed again.
Jiang Mianmian smiled at him and was about to start eating when the man moved closer and put his hand on her waist.
She pushed him away, but he only hugged her tighter, eventually pressing her head against his chest, unwilling to let go.
"Huo Junyu..."
"I haven't seen you for several days," Huo Junyu said in a low voice. "Don't you miss me?"
"I'm focused on my career right now and don't want a man for the time being."
