Chapter 496: Not Hastening or Slowing



I don't have classes this afternoon, so I can't go back to the dormitory. I don't want to go home either. It's so quiet and deserted. I don't know what case Mu Sen has taken on these days. He is so busy. Looking for him at this time will only disturb him.

Tang style…

Forget it, forget it. I made it clear last time. Now that we need them, it would be a bit unethical to contact them again.

Bai You put her hands in her pockets and walked forward slowly. The places she often went to had caused her psychological trauma. She met the lingering man every few days. She had to be on guard against him and test the child at the same time. Not only did she not find out the news, but if she continued like this, she would sooner or later suffer from schizophrenia, which was caused by herself.

During this period of time, it would be better to listen to Lu Yunxiao, stay away from that man, and wait and see after a while. There is no point in wasting time like this anyway.

Bai You was walking aimlessly while thinking about what to do next, when the ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

Lu Yunxiao?

At this time, he should not have finished get off work yet, so why did he think of calling her?

Despite her doubts, she still answered the call.

"Hello."

Lu Yunxiao originally wanted to get straight to the point, but when he heard the heartless and cold voice on the other end of the phone, he felt a little unhappy. He narrowed his eyes and asked grimly, "Who am I?"

Bai You: "..."

She must be the one who is exhausted during this period. He... should be fine, so why is he becoming mentally confused?

Could it be that she was mentally disturbed and misread the caller ID?

With this doubt in mind, Bai You looked at the caller ID three more times. The three words "Mr. Lu" were extremely clear and eye-catching, and there was no way he would make a mistake.

Bai You thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Hmm...did something happen over there?"

"What do you want to happen to me?"

The tone was colder and more dissatisfied than before. Bai You blinked and began to recall whether she had done anything to make him angry during this period. She thought about it for a minute. She couldn't guarantee anything else, but this week, she didn't do anything that touched his bottom line.

Especially when it comes to Zhou Yan's matter, this week, she has pushed back everything she could and avoided everything she could, including his appointments and intentional or unintentional contacts.

He had no reason to be angry about this matter. Since he had no reason to be angry about this matter, he had even less reason to be angry about other things.

This time, Bai You was very sure that his anger was not directed at her. Since it was not directed at her, then it had nothing to do with her.

He coughed and adjusted his tone, no longer as tense as before, but with a touch of flattery, "Did something happen at work? If you're too busy, you can leave it to Mu Lin. Isn't he quite capable?"

Mu Lin, who was working himself to death: "..."

Lu Yunxiao waited for a long time, only to receive such a perfunctory response. His breath suddenly became stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.

After a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his forehead with a little helplessness. Didn't he already know what she was like? When she was heartless, she could make people angry to death. If he really made a fuss with her, he might not be able to enjoy his old age.

Forget it, forget it. I have chosen a good wife, so what else can I do except spoil her?

She made me angry today, so I have to take revenge on her tonight.

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became cheerful. This was a good idea.

Lu Yunxiao smiled gently, his voice filled with a hint of doting, "Well, your idea is good. Mu Lin's work ability is indeed good. I will hand the work over to him."

Just hand in the work. Why is she smiling so gently for no reason? Why does it feel so... indescribably weird?

Bai You always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Lu Yunxiao didn't give Bai You a chance to think further and said directly: "The Zhou family is holding a charity dinner. Are you interested? Come and have a look."

Bai You's wandering thoughts were completely brought back by Lu Yunxiao's words.

Subconsciously frowning, he asked, "Is it held by Zhou Yan's family?"

Lu Yunxiao chuckled softly, "Besides the Zhou family, which other Zhou family do you think is worth mentioning to you?"

Bai You pursed his lips and said nothing.

Since the generation of the old man, the Zhou family has had few business geniuses. The only good one is Zhou Yan, but the old man Zhou's attitude towards him shows that he does not like him, so the real power of the Zhou family is not in Zhou Yan's hands at all.

However, in recent years, the Zhou family has not only not declined, but has shown a trend of making a comeback and rising step by step. Without a business genius to plan for them, they must have done some other business that is not presentable to the public to be able to develop to this point.

This kind of family, which takes money from one pocket to pay off another, is the most disdainful of Lu Yunxiao, the real person in power.

People like Lu Yunxiao, Jian Yichen, and Si Youli look down on the banquets held by their Zhou family. I'm afraid they didn't even pay attention to the banquets they held in previous years.

This was a place that I used to look down upon, but now I am taking the initiative to go there. There is obviously something wrong.

Bai You didn't need to hide anything from Lu Yunxiao, so she asked directly about the point that confused her, "You've never cared about the Zhou family's charity dinner, so why did you want to go today?"

Lu Yunxiao looked at the contract that was returned to the table, his eyes cold, and he tapped his fingers on the contract and said coldly: "They are jumping so high, if I don't go to check, wouldn't it be a disservice to their style?"
