Chapter 27 Deserves Death
I walked to the balcony and took a look at the height below. Although it was only one floor high, it was still very dangerous to jump down.
I really don't know where I got the courage from before. I jumped several times.
When I was lying on the guardrail, Xu Zhengnan strode over, grabbed me, and shouted angrily, "You are crazy! Get down!"
I was a little confused, "What's wrong? I didn't want to jump."
"..." Xu Zhengnan's face darkened, and then he turned and walked towards the door, "Just go downstairs and leave in ten minutes."
Before I could react, he had already gone downstairs.
After waiting quietly for a while, I heard a noise downstairs from the balcony. My parents took Mingming outside, and Mingming was still shouting happily, "Brother Zhengnan will definitely help me finish the puzzle! My dad said he is the smartest!"
Xu Zhengnan rubbed his little head gently, and from this angle I could vaguely see a smile on his face.
After he helped me get my parents away, I quickly ran downstairs. Aunt Yang sighed when she saw me, "Yueyue, your parents are back."
"Aunt Yang, thank you. I'll go back first." I thought of what my father said just now, and I felt very uncomfortable. I didn't dare to look at Aunt Yang and left in a hurry.
I took a taxi home, and when I got home I found that Shen Yixiao had already returned.
He sat on the sofa in the living room with a gloomy face and a frown on his face.
As soon as I got home, he stood up and walked towards me, questioning me with suspicious eyes, "Where did you go just now? Where did you eat? Why didn't you ask me to pick you up?"
"I didn't eat. I took a taxi back." I answered calmly. He had just taken Lu Xiaoyun to a social event. I didn't know whether they were there to eat or to eat people.
In short, he can remain calm in front of me, and I can do the same.
Shen Yixiao suppressed his anger and continued to ask, "Did you go to see Xu Zhengnan?"
I looked at him in surprise. How could he guess so accurately?
"You went out alone before and never came back so late. Now that Xu Zhengnan has returned, you've been leaving early and coming back late. Don't you think it's strange?" Shen Yixiao stated the basis for his guess.
"No, I met Chen Hao today." I brought up Chen Hao to change the subject. Shen Yixiao was too suspicious. If I told him that I did meet Xu Zhengnan, he would probably send someone to monitor me.
Hearing the name "Chen Hao", the expression on Shen Yixiao's face changed, and he became nervous, "What happened? Are you hurt? Did he embarrass you?"
I told Shen Yixiao how I met Chen Hao and what Chen Hao said.
One million is a piece of cake for us now, but the problem is that Chen Hao will never really take one million and disappear.
We are old acquaintances and we know each other's character very well.
A hint of hostility flashed across Shen Yixiao's brows. He hated it most when people used me to threaten him, because they were sure that I was his Achilles' heel.
He hugged me and promised me, "Honey, I will take care of this matter and will never let him have the chance to touch you again."
"Yeah." I responded softly, and whispered in his arms, "Yixiao, I was actually really scared just now. Secretary Lu answered the phone and she said she didn't know where you went."
Hearing this, he hugged me tighter, full of heartache, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
I didn't say anything else, just let him hold me.
In the middle of the night, I noticed that Shen Yixiao was gone. The other side of the bed was empty, without a trace of warmth. He must have left for a while.
I pulled out my cell phone and tried to make a call, but gave up.
After dawn, I went to work on time.
Not long after arriving at the company, I heard people chatting.
"Oh my god, I was scared to death. This is the first time I saw Mr. Shen get so angry that Secretary Lu even cried because of him!"
"What happened to Secretary Lu? Why was he scolded?"
"I don't know. I was just delivering a document. I seemed to hear something like "Don't touch my phone to answer the phone anymore." Could it be that I answered the wrong call and the client ran away?"
"Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. I'd better just be an HR. Being a secretary is pretty scary."
Shen Yixiao scolded Lu Xiaoyun to tears?
My intuition told me that it was because of what happened last night. Fortunately, nothing happened to me last night. If something happened to me, Lu Xiaoyun’s career as a mistress would have come to an end.
Manager He came over and handed me a quarterly report from the HR department. "Li Yue, could you please hand this report over to the president's office?"
Now everyone else is afraid of getting into trouble, so sending me is the safest option.
After all, everyone can see how much Shen Yixiao dotes on me.
"Okay, Manager He." I nodded, took the report, stood up and left.
When I arrived at the president's office, the secretariat was in deathly silence. Everyone was looking at each other, not daring to speak a word for fear of being the first to stand out.
I glanced at Lu Xiaoyun's workstation, but she wasn't there.
“Madam, Mr. Shen is inside.” Someone saw me coming and quickly stood up to greet me, saying in a low voice.
"Okay." I pushed open the office door and walked in.
Lu Xiaoyun sat on the sofa, crying her eyes out. Her red eyes looked a little swollen, her soft black hair was a little messy, and she looked like a flower ravaged by wind and rain.
Shen Yixiao stood in front of the French window with his back to her, his back full of coldness.
When Lu Xiaoyun saw me, she quickly stood up. There was a hint of resentment in her eyes, but she still said respectfully, "Madam."
"Why are you here?" Shen Yixiao turned around and was a little surprised when he saw me.
"I'm here to deliver the documents. What happened? Did Secretary Lu do something wrong? I heard from my colleagues that you scolded her and made her cry." I asked knowingly, and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Xiaoyun, "Secretary Lu, stop crying first."
Lu Xiaoyun forced out a pitiful smile, but after taking the tissue, she couldn't stop crying. She grabbed my hand and pleaded, "Madam, I'm sorry for last night. I didn't know you were in danger at that time. If I knew, I would definitely get off the car to find Mr. Shen. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise I would be guilty of a thousand deaths! Please forgive me, okay?!"
As she said that, she suddenly knelt down in front of me, raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
A slap mark immediately appeared on that pretty face, and it looked painful.
Shen Yixiao's body paused obviously, and he felt surprised and distressed by Lu Xiaoyun's extreme behavior.
I clenched my fingers, then slowly loosened them. I had seen the look on his face when he felt sorry for me, so I knew very well what that look meant.
"Secretary Lu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" I said, but I didn't go to help Lu Xiaoyun.
Shen Yixiao snorted coldly, “Wife, if something really happens to you, it will be useless even if she kneels to death!”
