Chapter 416: Just a Cripple
Charlene is a very easy-going person. Even if her colleagues give her a cold shoulder, as long as they don't make things difficult for her at work, she will pretend not to see it.
However, today when she heard those people say that Gao Chengbin was a cripple, she couldn't bear it.
She turned around and walked towards those people.
They were originally chatting and laughing, not paying any attention to Charlene at all.
Suddenly, they felt the temperature around them drop sharply. When they looked up, they saw Xia Lin walking towards them with a murderous aura.
They put away their smiles and looked at Charlene with caution.
Xia Lin slammed the table in anger and said through gritted teeth, "People who speak ill of others behind their backs aren't good people either! At least they're researchers, bringing glory to our country."
"What about you? What have you done to deserve to laugh at others?"
"I……"
The colleagues looked at each other in confusion. It was the first time they saw Charlene so angry.
"Um...I'm sorry, it was our fault."
Several colleagues apologized before running away.
When Xia Lin turned her head, she saw Gao Chengbin holding Juanjuan's hand and looking at her with a complicated expression.
Charlene smiled awkwardly, and the anger on her face disappeared in an instant. At this moment, she was a little at a loss.
She said, "Um...I..."
Gao Chengbin smiled at Xia Lin and said, "Thank you for protecting me."
"No, I'm telling the truth, not..."
Gao Chengbin said: "However, what they said is true. I am just a cripple. I don't need you to go to so much trouble to protect me."
"Thank you for your hard work this time."
Gao Chengbin finished speaking and asked, "Where's your doll? Take it with you, we're going home."
Juanjuan could feel that Gao Chengbin seemed a little unhappy.
He wanted to say something, but was afraid that Gao Chengbin would be even more unhappy, so he had to walk into Su Qian's office cautiously, took the toy, and then walked out.
"We're leaving first."
Juanjuan reluctantly waved goodbye to Xia Lin. Xia Lin forced a smile and said to Juanjuan, "Goodbye, Juanjuan."
Gao Chengbin nodded stiffly to Xia Lin, then left with Juanjuan.
"Charlene, come in for a moment." Su Qian said to Charlene.
Charlene pursed her lips and walked in.
"Sister Qian, what can I do for you?"
Su Qian said to Xia Lin, "It's okay, I just want you to come in and sit for a while."
Charlene licked her lips, her nose felt sore and her eyes turned red unconsciously.
She glanced at Su Qian secretly and found that Su Qian was looking at the computer seriously and didn't seem to notice that she was crying.
She took a few deep breaths, sorted out her emotions, and then she felt a lot more comfortable.
She secretly took out her cell phone to check, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
She then said to Su Qian, "Sister Qian, I'm going out first."
At this time, Su Qian slowly raised her head and looked at Xia Lin, saying, "It's inevitable that he has some inferiority complex now that he's like this."
Xia Lin immediately understood who Su Qian was referring to.
Xia Lin forced a smile and said to Su Qian, "It's okay, I know. If it were me, I would be sad too."
Su Qian said, "Well, since you like him, don't give up. Although Gao Chengbin was married before, his wedding was not happy. He had never been in a relationship before and was forced into a relationship because of Juanjuan. It's normal that he doesn't know how to coax people now."
"Once he learns how to coax people, maybe..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Charlene's eyes, and she quickly said, "It's not my turn anyway. Even if I have feelings for him, I know myself. There's no way someone like me can be happy."
Su Qian's heart seemed to be squeezed hard by something.
She said, "Why do you think so little of yourself? You're doing well. Gao Chengbin is divorced and has a child. It's good enough that you don't despise him. Why would he dare to despise you?"
Charlene's nose felt sore and before she knew it, her eyes were filled with tears.
She said: "No, he didn't say that. It's just that I feel I'm not worthy of him. After all, I was so unbearable back then..."
Because she felt that she was not perfect, she declined even if a boy pursued her later.
She didn't dare to test a person's sincerity anymore.
Moreover, she was also afraid that others were just playing around with her because she had experienced all that herself, so she looked down on herself in her heart.
Su Qian said, "You are not him, so how do you know that he cares about your past?"
"Thieves and thieves always have a chance to reform. It's not like you've done anything unforgivable."
"If you really care that much, you can ask him instead of guessing here."
"If you look down on yourself, no one will look up to you. You were like that before when you were designing the competition, you thought you were no good enough. But then you worked hard and achieved some results, didn't you?"
Su Qian’s words made Xia Lin silent. She licked her lips and began to ask herself in her heart, is she really that bad?
But she had no answer.
Su Qian said, "You don't have to be so anxious to give a clear answer. Just let it go."
Xia Lin nodded slightly and said to Su Qian, "Thank you, Sister Qian. You have helped me understand a lot."
Su Qian said, "If you've figured it out, get out."
Su Qian paused and said, "Find me something to eat."
Xia Lin thought, Su Qian had been eating non-stop just now, and now she was continuing, could her stomach really hold more?
However, Su Qian has been eating like this all the time, and she hasn't gained weight.
I can only say that Su Qian has excellent digestion.
Charlene said, "Okay, I'll get it for you now."
As soon as Charlene went out, she turned back.
Su Qian said, "So fast?"
Xia Lin stepped aside, looked out the door, and said, "No need for me to take it, someone has brought it to you."
Su Qian looked up and saw that it was Assistant Ling.
Assistant Ling said to Su Qian, "Ms. Su, the president said he needs to have a meeting with you, so please come up."
Su Qian said, "Okay. Actually, you could have called us. Why would I ask you to come all the way here?"
Assistant Ling had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually very panicked.
Oh my God, he really didn't mean it! If Mr. Fu blames him, it was all Mrs. Fu's own idea and had nothing to do with him!
"This way, please."
Su Qian said, "Okay."
When they reached the elevator, Su Qian said, "Do you have any food upstairs? If not, could you please buy me some? I'm hungry."
Assistant Ling said, "Don't worry about this, Mrs. Fu. Mr. Fu has already made arrangements."
Su Qian hummed and began to feel a little excited.
When she got to the president's office, she smelled the aroma of food as soon as she opened the door.
