Chapter 648 Quarrel
"Mr. Leng, are you busy this afternoon? I want to discuss something with you. Can we make an appointment to meet?"
When she left the company, she asked Mr. Wu for Leng Jun's phone number and contacted Leng Jun to meet her to discuss Li Jing's transfer.
Leng Jun's pleasant voice came lazily from the other end of the phone, with a hint of pride: "Miss Xiang, don't you know where my home is? You can come directly to me and I will entertain you at home."
"No, we're not that familiar yet," Xiang Zhimu refused directly in a cold tone, "What I want to talk about is my husband's transfer. Please don't embarrass us ordinary people, Mr. Leng."
Leng Jun said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be good to transfer you to the imperial capital? Why is it so difficult?"
Xiang Zhimu: "There is no free lunch in the world. To gain something, you must lose something else. What is it that Mr. Leng wants us to lose? I'm afraid the price is too high and I can't afford it."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
She thought Leng Jun had hung up the phone, but after checking her phone, she found that the call was still ongoing.
What does it mean that he didn't hang up the phone and didn't say anything?
"Boss Leng, are you still there?"
She asked tentatively.
Leng Jun then spoke again: "Of course I'm still here, I just can't bear to hang up on you."
What are you talking about?
Is it appropriate for him to say such things to her, a married woman?
When Xiang Zhimu heard him say this, her face immediately turned red. Before she could refute anything, Leng Jun spoke again.
"If you want to see me, come directly to Bangshan Bay. I won't go anywhere else. Hang up now."
He stopped talking after he finished speaking.
Xiang Zhimu didn't want this call to maintain the inexplicable ambiguity between the two of them, so he hung up directly.
But he also knew that Leng Jun had no other choice.
Knowing that the man was interested in her, there was no way she would go to his place and put herself in danger.
She would rather do Li Jing's job.
At least Li Jing wouldn't hurt her.
But after returning home, she suddenly felt that the trivialities in life were more terrifying than danger.
After returning home, she saw that the rental house she designed was full of messy junk. Zhang Fanghua had packed up her things from her hometown and sent them over, and was now in the process of unpacking them, which had messed up her original living environment.
She even saw the necklace that Shao Ai gave her on her birthday worn around Zhang Fanghua's neck.
Noticing Xiang Zhimu's gaze, Zhang Fanghua didn't think there was anything wrong with it and said to her, "I thought your necklace was pretty, so I took it out to wear. You can't be so stingy that you wouldn't even give your mother-in-law something she likes."
Xiang Zhimu didn't comment, but said in an unhappy tone: "Auntie, please don't go through my things in the future."
After saying that, he went to his bedroom.
But after she went in, something even more devastating happened.
She saw Li Jing's father, Li Yue, lying on her bed.
A bitter feeling of anger and grievance surged wildly in my heart.
Why is this happening.
They moved in with their families without her consent. Do they know what respect is?
Zhang Fanghua saw her standing at the door in a daze, so she came over and said to her nonchalantly, "The master bedroom has good lighting, so you two can move into the master bedroom. I've made the bed for you, and your father-in-law and I will live in this room from now on."
Xiang Zhimu controlled his temper, looked at her and said, "Okay, I'll pack my things."
Zhang Fanghua said unhappily, "What are you packing? Didn't I tell you I've already packed it up for you in the master bedroom? Why are you not happy about just moving in there?"
"I'm not used to people using things I've used," Xiang Zhimu said in a cold voice, reaching out to pull his own sheets. "Uncle, please come down first. I'll replace my sheets and buy new ones for you."
Li Yue was also unhappy. She climbed out of bed and said, "We haven't even started to dislike your used things yet, but you're already disliking us. After living in a big city for a few years, do you really think you're a rich lady?"
Xiang Zhimu suppressed his red eyes and ignored them. Instead, he reached out to grab his sheets and bedding, and finally threw them all into the trash bag to throw away.
Zhang Fanghua was furious and immediately went up to her and snatched the garbage bag from her hand. "Xiang Zhimu, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately giving us a cold shoulder? You won't use the sheets and quilt covers we have. Do you know how much it would cost to buy more? You don't even have a job now, and you're relying on our Li Jing for support. What right do you have to waste money?"
"You knew I resigned?" Xiang Zhimu was stunned as he held the bag. "Did Li Jing tell you?"
"Why, my son won't tell me, are you still trying to hide it from me?" Zhang Fanghua snatched the sheets and quilt from her hands, and pushed her away as if she was an eyesore, saying impatiently, "You're still unwilling to let our Li Jing stay in the capital and delay his future. Xiang Zhimu, I've never seen someone as selfish as you. You don't even care about your own husband's future. Can't you just stand by our Li Jing?"
Li Jing also told her that she didn't want him to stay in the imperial capital.
Xiang Zhimu staggered and fell to the ground, and his forehead hit the cabinet but he didn't feel any pain.
Because it makes me feel worse.
Since Li Jing said so much, why didn't he tell his parents whose help he relied on to stay in the imperial capital, and why she lost her job before.
"Zhimu, Zhimu, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Li Jing returned home, he heard some noise in the bedroom and saw Xiang Zhimu lying on the cabinet with bleeding forehead. He was so scared that he immediately came over to support her and asked her what happened.
Xiang Zhimu waved away his hand that was about to help her, looked at him coldly and asked, "Li Jing, do you really have to stay in the imperial capital? Even if Leng Jun has other intentions, do you have to stay?"
"What's wrong with you, woman? You can't bear to see my son get better. My son wants to stay in the imperial capital and become an important official. It's fine if you can't help him, but why do you keep delaying him?"
"Mom, stop talking. Go out first and don't cause any trouble for us."
Li Jing knew his mother's temper, and he felt heartbroken when he saw the wound on Xiang Zhimu's forehead.
He was in the wrong this time, and he didn't want to ask his mother to get involved and create a rift between him and Zhimu.
When Zhang Fanghua saw that he was actually protecting Xiang Zhimu, she immediately became unhappy. After yelling a few words about how your mother is not in control of you, she was taken out by Li Yue.
After they left, Li Jing lowered his posture and coaxed Xiang Zhimu to help her up from the ground: "Zhimu, no matter what my mother did, I apologize to you on her behalf. Get up first, I will treat the wound on your forehead. The scar will not look good."
"So, if I don't look good and embarrass you in the future, will you abandon me?" Xiang Zhimu sneered and pushed him away from him.
