After saying this, Wang Hu turned around without hesitation and left Li Wanting's office with firm steps, without even glancing back. Li Wanting, left in the office, quietly watched Wang Hu's receding figure, secretly thinking: This man is truly an interesting fellow. His vindictive nature might actually help him successfully eliminate that detestable "fly."
Just as Wang Hu stepped out of the law firm, his cell phone suddenly rang loudly in his pocket. He took it out and saw that the caller ID showed Chen Linlin.
"Hey! Linlin, what's up?" Wang Hu answered the phone and asked casually as he walked away.
"Are you coming back for lunch? I've already made lunch for you!" Chen Linlin's clear, slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Wang Hu subconsciously picked up his phone and glanced at the time; it was already past noon. He scratched his head and said into the phone, "Oh dear, I'm afraid I can't get back. I'm out running errands right now, and even if I rush back, it'll probably take about an hour to get home. Besides, I have a driving lesson scheduled for this afternoon, so I really don't have time to go back for lunch."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hu hurriedly hung up the phone. On the other end, Chen Lingling, hearing the busy tone on the phone, turned pale with anger. She slammed her fist on the sofa next to her twice, muttering, "That damn Wang Hu, he didn't even wait for me to finish speaking!"
This morning, Meng Zhiyun and Chen Linlin were chatting. When they got into the conversation, Meng Zhiyun casually mentioned that Wang Hu especially liked the dishes Chen Linlin cooked.
The speaker may have just said it casually, but the listener took it to heart. Chen Linlin's heart stirred, and she secretly resolved to show off her culinary skills to Wang Hu. So, before ten o'clock that morning, Chen Linlin excitedly went out to buy groceries.
The market was bustling with activity, filled with a dazzling array of ingredients. Chen Linlin carefully selected each item, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and bought a large quantity of side dishes and seasonings. Back home, she immediately went into the kitchen and got to work.
Washing vegetables, chopping meat, frying, stir-frying, cooking... After a flurry of activity, a large table full of delicious dishes was finally prepared. A rough count revealed that there were more than a dozen dishes, laid out to the brim.
Chen Linlin gazed happily at the delicious food on the table before her, imagining Wang Hu enjoying it immensely, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
However, Wang Hu was unable to return to enjoy these delicious dishes due to other commitments, and this thought filled her with a touch of annoyance. Looking at the mountain of food, she knew Wang Hu had a large appetite, so she had prepared a particularly large amount today. But now that he wasn't coming back to eat, what should she do with all this food?
Meng Zhiyun slowly walked out of the second bedroom and immediately saw Chen Linlin sitting in the living room. Her face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water, and her little mouth was so pouting that it could almost hang an oil bottle on it.
Meng Zhiyun curiously stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Look how angry you are, your lips are so pouty you could hang an oil bottle on them!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Linlin suddenly raised her head, glared fiercely at the doorway, and said indignantly, "It's all because of that Wang Hu, that damned bastard! I painstakingly prepared a whole table of delicious food for him, and he actually called to say he wasn't coming back. I'm so angry!" As she spoke, she angrily slammed her fist on the sofa next to her.
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhiyun couldn't help but chuckle and comforted him, "Oh, don't be angry. If he's not coming back, so be it. Let's call Zhang Fengjie and the three of us can eat by ourselves. It'll be more comfortable that way!"
Chen Linlin turned to look at the lavish spread on the table and sighed helplessly, "But... there's so much food on the table, how can the three of us possibly finish it all!"
Meng Zhiyun, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "What's there to be afraid of? If we can't finish it, we can save it for Wang Hu. When he comes back tonight, he can eat what we have left over! It's his fault for standing us up!"
