Chapter 10 Last Night Was Just an Accident
"Ms. Sang," Lin Hao said respectfully, "Mr. Lu said that it was just a chance encounter last night and it was just a small favor. You don't have to take it to heart. As for the car incident, Mr. Lu doesn't want to pursue it any further."
Sang Wan's heart sank little by little. His words were very straightforward, implying that she should stop pestering him.
Sure enough, Lin Hao continued, "Mr. Lu also said that he hopes to avoid private interactions with Miss Sang in the future to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Avoid private interactions...
Sang Wan's fingertips turned white as she held the phone, and she curled her lips in self-mockery.
It seems that he really looks down on me.
Sang Wan was disheartened. She took a deep breath and pulled herself together. "I understand. Thank Mr. Lu for me."
"I'll pass it on."
Lin Hao paused for a moment after he finished speaking, and then spoke again to remind, "Ms. Sang, what happened last night must have been someone close to you. Please be careful in the future."
After hanging up the phone, Sang Wan fell back onto the bed dejectedly, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
Lu Tingzhou looked down on him, so the plan to hook him fell through.
I thought there would be substantial progress last night, but it turned out to be the end.
Thinking of last night, Sang Wan frowned. There were only two people in the entire venue who had the motive to drug her, one was Wang Sheng and the other was Xu Mingyue.
The person who handed her the wine was Lu Jinxuan. He had no grudge against her and seemed to be a little afraid of Lu Tingzhou.
He had no reason to since he was unsure of his relationship with Lu Tingzhou.
Next to him was Xu Mingyue. They walked up to her together, accompanied by a waiter.
Sang Wan bit her lip and smiled, it was undoubtedly Xu Mingyue.
She quickly stood up and saw the neatly arranged clothes in the living room, which made her nose sore.
She got dressed somewhat angrily and went straight to the Seaside Holiday Inn.
Xu Shiming made several phone calls on the way, but she hung up on them all.
When they arrived at the hotel, Qi Qi went in very smoothly and got the video from last night.
Sang Wan was sitting in the car. After watching the video, she confirmed that it was the waiter Xu Mingyue had called. The waiter had been standing not far from her, as if waiting for her call.
Sang Wan curled his lips and sneered. He really had a good plan, but his mind was too dirty.
When I was about to turn off the video, I accidentally saw the video footage at the hotel entrance.
Not far from the hotel, a man was sitting in a car smoking silently. Even though his face was not clearly in the picture, Sang Wan was still sure that the man was Lu Tingzhou.
It turns out he never left.
Why did he suddenly turn back, and how did his phone happen to fall into her bag?
My mind wasn't clear last night, but now I think Lu Tingzhou was deliberately helping me.
Thinking of this, Sang Wan picked up her phone and sent a message to Shen Yubai.
There was even a hint of joy in my heart.
At this time, the phone buzzed again.
It’s Xu Shiming.
Sang Wan frowned and gritted her teeth before picking up the phone.
"Sang Wan! You've become quite capable! You even dared to ruin Mr. Wang's birthday party last night. Get back here right now! Otherwise, you'll never see your grandfather again in your lifetime!"
Xu Shiming's roaring voice came from the receiver, making her ears numb.
"Don't worry, I will be back. Just wait for me at home."
After hanging up the phone, she felt a slight pain in her hand. She turned her hand over and found that she was so angry that her nails had scratched the palm of her hand.
…
Lu Tingzhou's office.
A man in a black shirt sat behind his desk, his temperament noble.
Behind the gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were deep and cold, completely different from last night.
After reporting the situation, Lin Hao looked at him and thought that the person was Sang Wan. A high-class flower like his President Lu really needs a delicate flower like Sang Wan to match him.
As a result, he was asked to convey the meaning of not bothering her anymore.
"Go check on Wang Sheng. All projects related to our company have been stopped."
Lin Hao frowned. What did this mean? He had just rejected someone, and now he wanted revenge. For whom?
Having been with Lu Tingzhou for several years, he had some understanding of this big boss's temper. He was very sure that Sang Wan was different in his heart.
Otherwise, why would he give her chances again and again and wait for her silently in the car.
He definitely stuffed the phone in there himself. How could it have fallen in there by chance? He waited outside for a long time before saying that the phone fell into Sang Wan's bag.
He was thinking about something and preparing to leave when Lu Tingzhou spoke again, "What's going on with the Sang family?"
"Oh, Xu Shiming recently wanted to participate in Lanqin's chip project, but funding has always been a big problem. Wang Sheng has been using the Xijiao project to harass him. Perhaps it is because of this problem that he wants to participate in Lanqin to make some money."
"Tell Mr. Luo to find an opportunity to bring Xu Shiming along to play."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Lin Hao came out of the president's office and stood at the door, shaking his head. The boss's mind was as unfathomable as the sea. He had to guess, and even if he guessed wrong, he had to guess.
He secretly made up his mind that he would be more careful and cautious in matters concerning Sang Wan from now on.
But what kind of opportunity is this?
At eleven o'clock, Chen Yubai sent a message saying that they would have lunch together at noon to discuss important matters, and the location was Li Ji Private Restaurant.
Seeing that he rarely spoke so seriously about important matters, Lu Tingzhou nodded and accepted the invitation.
He arrived at their designated private room, but there was no trace of Shen Yubai.
Just when he was wondering, Chen Yubai sent a message saying that his mother had stopped him from working at the company and threatened to kill herself to force him to go on a blind date.
Lu Tingzhou regretted that he shouldn't have believed his lies. What important matter could he have?
Just as I was about to leave, Sang Wan pushed the door open.
"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence, you're here too? Can I have a meal with you?"
The voice was soft and gentle, completely different from the coquettish one from last night.
Today, Sang Wan has a fresh makeup, a simple ponytail, and a Chanel-style dress, looking cute and pretty.
It is very different from the sexy and enchanting look of the previous two times.
She leaned her hand on the door. Seeing Lu Tingzhou again, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, afraid that this man would kick her out.
There was a hint of timidity in his eyes, and he looked very innocent.
Lu Tingzhou now understood that Shen Yubai was a traitor.
"Ms. Sang, wasn't what my assistant conveyed clear enough?"
Sang Wan nodded obediently, "Clear, very clear, but there is one thing I don't understand."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Lu Tingzhou, took out her cell phone and held it in front of him with a sincere look on her face.
When Lu Tingzhou saw the photos on her phone, his eyes darkened. Didn’t Lin Hao say that the surveillance footage had been processed? How could she see this?
"Mr. Lu, why didn't you leave after you took your phone last night? Were you waiting for someone?"
Sang Wan looked up at him, her eyes clear and a smile curved at the corners of her mouth, pure and sincere.
Lu Tingzhou pretended to be calm and said, "Just a cigarette."
Sang Wan didn't say anything, but stared at him, as if trying to find some flaws in his face.
But the man's stern face did not change at all.
She felt dizzy for a moment.
She was really dizzy. She hadn't eaten anything last night and was rejected by Lu Tingzhou early in the morning.
Then I went to the hotel to get the video. I was busy all morning and haven't eaten anything yet.
The moment her body swayed, Lu Tingzhou immediately reached out and hugged her slender waist to prevent her from falling.
Sang Wan, who had escaped danger, took the opportunity to hug his arm and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I have hypoglycemia. Can I have a meal first?"
Seeing that she had stabilized, Lu Tingzhou slowly let go of her hand and asked with lowered eyes, "Didn't the hotel send breakfast?"
Sang Wan shook her head, looking at him with watery eyes, pitiful, "It was given as a gift, but I'm not in the mood to eat it because I was rejected. I feel like dying, so how can I have the mood to eat?"
Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips. The little fox was never well-behaved.
Sang Wan sat down and said obediently, "I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever Mr. Lu eats."
Lu Tingzhou: ...
In about ten minutes, four dishes and a soup were served.
Sang Wan looked at the dishes on the table and wondered why they were all her favorites.
"Mr. Lu, how do you know I like these dishes?"
She blinked her big eyes and looked at the noble man beside her with anticipation.
Lu Tingzhou frowned. He had brought her here before, and she only praised these four dishes and the fish soup.
“This is the signature dish of this restaurant, everyone loves it.”
The low voice suppressed the flickering light in Sang Wan's eyes.
Lu Tingzhou didn't look at her. He raised his hand to unbutton the cuffs of his black shirt and politely offered her some food. "Miss Sang, to avoid you from causing trouble, please eat your meal first."
Sang Wan's eyes were dark, but when she saw the man's slender and clean fingers holding the food, her heart inexplicably tightened.
I don’t know if it’s because the scene is too familiar or because the man’s hands are too beautiful.
She was stunned for a moment, then opened her red lips and said, "Lu Tingzhou, you deliberately helped me last night, why don't you admit it?"
"You deliberately dropped your phone into my bag because you were worried I would be waiting at the hotel entrance, right?"
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyes, his expression indifferent, "Do you really want to know?"
Sang Wan nodded quickly, as well-behaved as a primary school student.
Lu Tingzhou glanced at her and said in a low, emotionless tone, "Eat your meal and I'll tell you after you're done."
Sang Wan heard his low voice and felt as if it was a gentle coaxing. She nodded excitedly, a look of joy on her face.
She ate happily for a while, and when she saw that the man didn't move his chopsticks, she picked up some food for him with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Lu, you eat too."
Lu Tingzhou glanced at the grain of rice at the corner of her mouth, without moving or speaking.
Sang Wan was so anxious to hear the answer she wanted from him that she didn't stop eating.
Less than ten minutes later, Sang Wan put down her chopsticks and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm full. Can you speak now?"
A pair of bright eyes looked at him expectantly, indescribably lively.
Lu Tingzhou glanced at the food on the table and saw that she had eaten less than half a bowl of rice and had a taste of every dish.
Although she didn't eat much, the girl's stomach was as small as a kitten's, so she should be about 70% full now.
Lu Tingzhou slowly adjusted his sleeves. After buttoning the dark green cuffs one by one, he looked up at Sang Wan with a calm expression.
