Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng's attitude was very firm: "Qiao Zhen, have you thought this through? If you don't apologize, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen pursed his lips, then looked up and said, "I did nothing wrong. Think what you want."
After saying that, Qiao Zhen looked around at the people and then left.
After leaving the Lu residence, Qiao Zhen suddenly realized that she had nowhere to go. After struggling for a while, she decided to go home.
After gently pushing open the door, I found that the servants had gone to bed early on Lu Zheng's orders, and the living room was completely dark.
Qiao Zhen sighed inwardly and then turned on the light next to her.
Recalling how Lu Zheng had insisted on believing in Tang Yue despite everyone's objections, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sneer twice, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It seems that Qiao Zhen had placed too high expectations on Lu Zheng before; she shouldn't have had any hope for him in the first place.
Qiao Zhen shook her head, trying not to think about it, and turned to go into the shower room, preparing to take a shower and go to bed.
Halfway through her shower, Qiao Zhen suddenly realized she had forgotten her bath towel and couldn't help but complain, "I should have grabbed a bath towel before coming in!"
But since the servants were all asleep, Qiao Zhen didn't want to wake them up, so she quickly washed up and prepared to rest early.
Suddenly a large hand reached in from outside the shower room, holding a bath towel.
Qiao Zhen recognized the hands as Lu Zheng's at a glance.
When did he come back?
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. She blinked, but ultimately accepted the gift.
"Thanks."
Qiao Zhen replied indifferently, not caring whether Lu Zheng heard her or not, and closed the bathroom door again.
After what had just happened, Qiao Zhen lost the will to take a long shower and had to hastily finish what she was doing and come out in a hurry.
Looking at Lu Zheng lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart. She slowly walked to his side and lay down on the bed.
The night was deep and quiet. The only sound inside was Lu Zheng's even breathing. Qiao Zhen thought back on the events of the day and felt her mind was in turmoil.
Suddenly, Lu Zheng, who was standing next to Qiao Zhen, put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Zhen tried to struggle, but Lu Zheng looked satisfied and said, "Let me hug you for a while."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen pouted and stopped moving, letting Lu Zheng hold her.
The room quickly returned to silence, and Qiao Zhen stared at the starry sky outside the window, unable to sleep all night.
The next day, when Qiao Zhen got up again, Lu Zheng was already in the kitchen making breakfast.
When Qiao Zhen was surprised that Lu Zheng had made breakfast for her today, she only saw him smile at her and say, "You're awake. Did you suffer any grievances yesterday?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen pouted and said, "You're only finding out now?"
Qiao Zhen's resentful tone made Lu Zheng chuckle. Seeing that Qiao Zhen was still angry, he couldn't help but soften his voice.
"Don't be angry. I didn't mean to treat you like that yesterday. It's just that I had some plans that I needed to keep from you, and I was afraid that if I told you, you would find out."
Hearing Lu Zheng's explanation, Qiao Zhen was completely confused: "What plan? How come I don't know anything about it?"
"You'll find out when you go to the company today."
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen nodded, even though she didn't understand the situation.
"So all that treatment you gave me yesterday was just for show?"
Lu Zheng nodded, then smiled at her: "Indeed, you're not angry, are you?"
"Of course I'm angry! How could I not be? You treated me like that!"
Hearing Lu Zheng actually ask her if she was angry, Qiao Zhen suddenly got angry and said, "I didn't lose my temper yesterday because I gave you face."
"Okay, okay." Lu Zheng nodded and smiled helplessly. "The food is on the table. Remember to eat. Come to the company with me later."
Qiao Zhen nodded, and after finishing her meal, she went to the company with Lu Zheng.
Just like Lu Zheng said, as soon as Qiao Zhen entered the company, she saw a large crowd gathered outside.
What happened?
Qiao Zhen frowned. Before she could react, she saw reporters surrounding Tang Yue, who was running away with her head in her hands, asking her questions.
"Ms. Tang, are the things circulating online true? And what is your opinion on this?"
"Can I ask you a question? After the Tang family went bankrupt, did you do this to support yourself, or to help the Tang family make a comeback?"
Listening to the reporters' questions one after another, Tang Yue was on the verge of collapse. She covered her face with her hands and said...
"Please, please stop asking!"
In her hasty escape, Tang Yue happened to see Qiao Zhen looking at her with a puzzled expression not far away, and a nameless anger surged up within her.
"Qiao Zhen! You bitch, this is all your fault!"
Tang Yue ignored the reporters around her and roared as she was about to hit Qiao Zhen.
Startled, Qiao Zhen dodged to the side, causing Tang Yue to miss her target and fall heavily to the ground.
Lu Zheng quickly put his arm around Qiao Zhen and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Qiao Zhen wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, looking at Tang Yue lying on the ground, still not understanding what had happened.
Lu Zheng, however, had already pulled her into the office building.
When Qiao Zhen saw the news on her phone, she suddenly realized what had happened.
"So, this is the show you were talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng nodded and said, as if seeking praise, "So, do you like it?"
Qiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, looking at the news about Tang Yue being exposed for what she did with those people. Although Qiao Zhen was not surprised, she did not expect Tang Yue to be so willing to do such a thing with so many people.
Seeing Qiao Zhen's surprised expression, Lu Zheng simply explained without any emotion.
"Someone capable of doing something like this is bound to have this happen one day, so don't be too surprised."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded. After all, Tang Yue had harmed her so much before, so she didn't need to have any sympathy for such a person.
"Don't just stand there. Anyway, the matter has been resolved. Go do whatever you need to do."
Lu Zheng waved to her, signaling her to leave.
Qiao Zhen stood still and asked, "I'm still very curious about what your plan is."
Seeing Qiao Zhen's persistence, Lu Zheng stopped playing games with her and said directly, "After kicking you out yesterday, we sent Tang Yue to the hospital. While the doctor was stitching up his wound, our people took his phone and saw the chat history on it."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen suddenly realized why Tang Yue had always seemed to cherish her phone so much. She hadn't known why before, but now she finally understood.
"Then why did she suddenly get reinstated..." Qiao Zhen remembered that she had recently become an employee of the Lu Group.
"This is all to lower her guard. Besides, when she had the accident, wouldn't we have been able to observe her expression more clearly from downstairs at our company?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect that Lu Zheng could think of this aspect.
Qiao Zhen nodded and left the office, but the noise continued.
