Chapter 145 Shameless, Invincible
Sang Wan listened, a knowing smile appearing on the corner of her lips.
She scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest and slowly put it into her mouth.
Lu Tingzhou always called her little fox.
But compared to him, her skills are nothing.
He is the old fox who remains calm and composed but can manipulate everything in his hands.
Let public opinion ferment to its peak, and then use the most thundering means to deliver a fatal blow.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
That's his style.
"You, take care of yourself and don't work too hard for me."
Sang Wan changed the subject.
"If you can get along with Pei Huaizhi, then spend more time with him."
Su Mo's voice on the other end of the phone instantly became eight degrees more cheerful.
"Don't worry, we have dinner together tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Sang Wan put down the phone.
The sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on her.
She knew very well that this online storm was not groundless.
There must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.
Now, a few clowns were pushed out.
So who is the real person hiding behind this?
***
The air conditioning in the recording studio is turned on very high.
Sang Wan had just finished recording a short clip and came out to drink some water.
A gentle male voice sounded behind her.
"Wanwan."
Sang Wan turned around and saw Xiao Yan walking towards her.
He was dressed casually today, in a white T-shirt and jeans, looking as clean as the big brother next door.
In her hand, she was holding an exquisite gift box.
"A gift."
He handed it over with a smile.
"I couldn't be there yesterday, congratulations."
His eyes were clear and sincere, pure and happy for her.
Sang Wan took the gift box and said with a curved lip, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
"By the way, where's Liu Xi? Was she so generous in letting you go free today?"
When Liu Xi was mentioned, a trace of helplessness flashed across Xiao Yan's face.
"I had a fever yesterday and was in the hospital on an IV drip, so I didn't have time to go and congratulate you. You even cried when I left home this morning."
Sang Wan laughed when she heard it and couldn't help teasing him.
"Why do I think you're a little proud? You're so proud of yourself that someone cares about you so much."
Xiao Yan was choked by her words, and then laughed helplessly.
There was even a hint of shyness on that handsome face that captivated everyone.
"You tease me every chance you get. After spending so much time with Lu Tingzhou, you've even picked up a bit of his sharp tongue."
Sang Wan looked at his somewhat embarrassed expression and smiled even brighter, "Brother Xiao Yan, you are now completely Liu Xi's man."
Xiao Yan sighed. He always felt an inexplicable closeness between him and Sang Wan. After spending some time with her, he really treated her like a younger sister.
"no way."
He whispered, but there was a tenderness in his tone that he himself didn't even realize.
"I can't bear to see her cry."
While chatting and laughing, Sang Wan's attention was attracted by the scene in the rest area.
Two uniformed policemen were standing in front of Song Ziqian, asking something in a low voice.
Song Ziqian's face was as white as paper.
The smile on Sang Wan's face slowly faded.
Instead, there was a cold, wait-and-see arc.
It seems that Lu Tingzhou is quite quick.
Now that Xu Mingyue has climbed up to Lu Tingfeng, there is naturally someone to protect her.
It's not surprising at all that Song Ziqian was the first one to be thrown out as a scapegoat.
I'm afraid she doesn't know it herself.
Her so-called ally was no longer the little follower who followed her around and called her "Sister Ziqian" all the time.
The police asked a few simple questions and then put away the notebook. Before leaving, he gave Song Ziqian a meaningful look.
That look was a warning.
Song Ziqian sat on the sofa, her hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white.
She tried to remain calm, but her slightly trembling body betrayed her.
The high heels stepped on the floor, making a light "click, click" sound.
Neither fast nor slow, but it feels like stepping on people's hearts.
Song Ziqian looked up suddenly.
Sang Wan had walked in front of her without her knowing when.
She was leaning leisurely against the wall, with her arms folded across her chest, looking at her leisurely.
That delicate and soft face had the most harmless smile.
The words he spoke were like cold knives.
"Miss Song."
"What bad things have I done that the police came to my door?"
Song Ziqian's face turned red instantly.
"Sang Wan, stop being so sarcastic here."
She stood up suddenly from the sofa and wanted to leave.
Sang Wan seemed not to see her action, but just turned sideways, inadvertently blocking her way.
She was still laughing, her voice sounding sickly sweet.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"I'm just being kind and reminding you."
Sang Wan leaned slightly closer to her and lowered his voice.
The warm breath brushed against Song Ziqian's ears, making her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.
"This time, it was the police who came to question me."
"Next time, I can't say for sure."
"Maybe it'll just be a pair of handcuffs. I'll invite you to the police station for tea."
Song Ziqian's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Sang Wan stood up, put some distance between them, looked her up and down, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
"So, you should hurry up and find your umbrella."
She paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, and pretended to be enlightened.
"Oh, I forgot."
"Your good ally is no longer the little follower he once was."
"She has a new backer, and her standards have become higher. I'm afraid she would have... stopped paying attention to people like you a long time ago."
The last sentence was light, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Song Ziqian's heart hard.
Her face turned from red to white, then from white to blue, and finally, all the blood color faded away.
yes.
Xu Mingyue is no longer the Xu Mingyue of the past.
Sang Wan looked at her distraught appearance, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
She turned around and walked away gracefully.
Song Ziqian was left alone, frozen in place, as if falling into an abyss.
She just wanted to give Song Ziqian a warning, otherwise she would be used as a scapegoat, which would not be the result she wanted.
Song Ziqian looked at Sang Wan's slender back and felt invisible pressure pressing towards her from all directions.
She seemed to have lost all her strength and staggered out.
The phone slipped out of her bag and she picked it up in a panic.
With trembling fingertips, he found Xu Mingyue's number.
Dial out.
There was a cold, mechanical female voice in the receiver.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is currently unavailable."
Over and over again.
It was always the same echo.
Sang Wan's smiling voice lingered in her mind.
"I am no longer the little follower I used to be."
"I'm afraid I've already... stopped paying attention to people like you."
Cold sweat instantly soaked Song Ziqian's back.
She believed it.
Xu Mingyue kept telling her that there was someone behind her who would take care of everything.
She only needed to follow the instructions, contact the internet trolls, and spread rumors, with the goal of ruining Sang Wan's reputation and making her pregnancy unstable.
Xu Mingyue also promised that after the matter was completed, she would give her a sum of money that would be enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
Now it seems that the so-called "someone behind the scenes" is trying to push her out to take the blame.
The internet trolls that slandered Sang Wan were indeed contacted by her.
The police came to her house with witnesses and evidence, and she was powerless to refute it.
Song Ziqian's face was pale without a trace of blood.
She's finished.
At this moment, Xu Mingyue, whom she regarded as her life-saving straw, was lying leisurely in the villa arranged for her by Lu Tingfeng.
With a facial mask on her face, she picked up a plump Chilean cherry with her slender white fingers and elegantly put it into her red lips.
She turned her cell phone to airplane mode and threw it casually on the wool carpet.
Song Ziqian?
Just an obedient and stupid pawn.
Now that it is no longer useful, it should be thrown away.
These are what Lu Tingfeng said.
***
Lu Group, top-level president's office.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the most prosperous scenery of Shenzhen.
Lu Tingzhou sat on the leather chair, tapping the table with his fingertips.
Lin Hao is reporting respectfully.
"Boss Lu, our people have already found those people who were causing trouble and have handed them all over to the police."
"They admitted that they were hired by someone, but they took the money at a designated location and never met the mastermind."
The clue is broken.
Lu Tingzhou's eyes darkened.
He sneered, as expected.
"Find someone to 'contact' Liu Yao."
"Follow him closely and see who he has been meeting and what he has been doing recently."
There was no warmth in the man's voice.
Lin Hao nodded, "I understand."
Just as he was about to leave, the office door was pushed open from outside.
Lu Tingfeng walked in leisurely in a high-end suit.
On his face was the gentle smile of an older brother.
"Third brother, getting married and getting a marriage certificate is such a big deal, why didn't you tell your family?"
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyes, his dark eyes staring straight at him.
"My second brother also said that he is a family member."
"Dad knows, but you don't."
"What does it mean?"
With just one sentence, the smile on Lu Tingfeng's face was torn to pieces.
This means that you, Lu Tingfeng, are not a real "family member" in the Lu family.
Lu Tingfeng's face sank.
But he quickly returned to his smiling face, as if the embarrassment just now had never existed.
"Tingzhou, you are too hostile to me."
"We are brothers after all, is this necessary?"
"Dad handed the position of CEO to you, and I didn't fight with you. Why do you always look so bitter and resentful?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingzhou raised the corners of his lips into an extremely cold arc.
"You didn't fight, or you couldn't fight?"
His voice was soft, but every word was heart-piercing.
"Second brother, you've eaten ten years more than me, so your skin is indeed ten times thicker than mine."
"Second brother, this meal was not eaten in vain. You know where to grow, and it will be useful at any time."
These indirect words that called him shameless made Lu Tingfeng's face turn pale.
Lin Hao, who was standing aside, was trying hard to suppress his laughter and reduce his presence.
As a result, one of them couldn't help but said something quickly.
"There's a saying in my hometown: 'Thick-skinned, not afraid of ugliness, just wave your hands when you see a mirror.'"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Hao wanted to slap himself.
The air in the office froze instantly.
Lu Tingfeng's gloomy eyes shot towards him like a knife.
Lu Tingzhou was amused by what he heard. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Lin Hao leisurely.
He even smiled encouragingly.
"If you have any other rhymes, tell me."
"Let Vice President Lu listen and broaden his horizons."
Lin Hao: “…”
He rolled his eyes and secretly glanced at Lu Tingfeng, whose face was ashen, with anxiety and embarrassment written all over his face.
"Mr. Lu...this...this is not good..."
The smile on Lu Tingzhou's face faded.
"Um?"
He only uttered a single syllable, but the feeling of oppression came over him.
"If you don't tell me, I'll fire you and get out."
"Well said, the year-end bonus will be doubled."
Lin Hao's back straightened instantly.
He cleared his throat, without even looking at Lu Tingfeng, and spoke very quickly, as if he was reciting something.
"If you are thick-skinned enough, you will have enough food and drink."
"If you are thick-skinned, you can eat a piece of meat; if you are thin-skinned, you can't eat anything."
“People need face, trees need bark, and telephone poles need cement.”
At the end, he took a deep breath and ended with a closing statement in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"If you have no shame, you are invincible!"
The words fell.
The whole office was dead silent.
Lu Tingfeng's face was so ugly that it could no longer be described.
It was a color palette that changed from blue to purple, and then from purple to black.
He clenched his hands into fists at his sides, his knuckles turning white from the force.
It seemed as if he would rush up and tear Lin Hao's mouth apart in the next second.
