The sound of breathing was very noticeable inside the venue.
Lu Xuping didn't want the situation to become too tense, so she stepped in to smooth things over. "Xiao Jie, just say sorry and it'll be over. Lu Yu isn't a petty person."
Wang Jie immediately understood, her eyes darting around, and she opened her mouth. "I'm sorry, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu realized that although these people didn't have any bad intentions, they were just trying to get away with it.
The feeling of exhaustion gradually returned to her body, and she didn't want to waste any more time. "No way, I'm petty. I've never learned how to apologize, and I've never written a self-criticism report. Adding the reasons will make it seem more sincere."
Lu Yu took off her wristband and put it in her hand.
The wristband was soaked with sweat.
Wang Jie didn't intend to talk badly about others. After mentally preparing herself, she gritted her teeth and apologized: "I'm sorry, Lu Yu, I shouldn't have spoken ill of you behind your back."
Chu Feiyu picked up the ice pack that Lu Yu had used before the competition and placed it on Lu Yu's left shoulder, where it was already red and swollen.
Lu Yu quietly clenched his fangs, staring intently at Wang Jie, and said, "You're wrong, you're making up lies behind my back."
Wang Jie retorted angrily, "What I said wasn't true? I'm just letting you off the hook now because you're in a bad mood. Don't take your anger out on me."
Lu Yu turned around and said, "A few days from now, you'll want to travel back to this moment and bite off your tongue, believe me."
Lu Yu ignored the people on the basketball court and walked away.
[Lu Yu is really heartless.]
Wang Jie is used to being domineering; she's finally gotten her comeuppance.
[Little Taro's shoulder is already swollen...]
Judging from Lu Yu's bitter and resentful look, she must have been played by the wealthy family.
Wang Jie brought this on herself; let's see how she dares to play as a starter now. Maybe I could do better if I were in her shoes.
Listening to the words of those trying to smooth things over and the intermittent thoughts in the audience, Lu Yu suddenly felt that she was also a rather boring person.
Since she always wears a sour, unapproachable face, she's trying to keep everyone away. She shouldn't get upset about how others perceive her.
But... Wang Jie brought up the Olympics again, viciously saying that Lu Yu looked like someone in her family had died...
What truly infuriates people is probably the most genuine pain point.
The application of the pain-relieving spray caused a delay. When they came out of the Qingbei training base, Jiao Yuyin had already been waiting outside the gate for a while.
Jiao Yuyin was inside the car, while Assistant Qin and Xiao Zhong were looking out from the main entrance.
Lu Yu found the two men in suits increasingly conspicuous.
Being so high-profile at the entrance, are you afraid people won't know that the Third Young Master has come to the training base?
Lu Yu hurried along, taking quick steps.
This appearance, however, is quite different in the eyes of others...
It's like a girlfriend in the throes of new love rushing into the arms of her CEO boyfriend.
Lu Yu sat in the back seat of the car, clung to the front seat, and said, "Xiao Zhong, next time park the car further away, and don't stand at the main entrance waiting for me."
These words were spoken to Xiao Zhong, but were meant for everyone on the bus, especially Jiao Yuyin.
Jiao Yuyin closed today's Wen's bankruptcy investigation report, his voice calm and even, "When we got our marriage certificate today, didn't you say someone was following us?"
Lu Yu turned her head to look at Jiao Yuyin and hummed in agreement.
Jiao Yuyin remained calm and composed. "We've found out; they're Jiao Yuchen's men. Since they all suspect us, let's play along to the end."
Lu Yu rolled her eyes: "So you came to pick me up? Young Master, even if you're putting on an act, you should consider my situation in the team. This isn't a good look..."
"I was nearby this afternoon, I didn't leave."
"You're quite proud of yourself?" Lu Yu was so angry she wanted to bite someone. Why were they both trending on social media while she got the blame? She was already being criticized for losing the game, and now, to play along with his act, she had to endure another round of online harassment...
Lu Yu put on long sleeves and trousers again.
Jiao Yuyin was very perceptive and noticed this. Then he said to Xiao Zhong, "Afterwards, park the car at the alleyway across the street."
Lu Yu finally calmed down a bit and said, "So, what arrangements does the big boss intend to make?"
"Like other young couples, let's have dinner together after get off work." Jiao Yuyin glanced out the car window. "Little radar, listen again, how many people are following us now?"
Lu Yu leaned back in her seat, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling in the sunset.
Half a minute later, the answer was given. "There should be two people, but they seem to be a group. Their voices are soft, so their judgment might be inaccurate."
“Then it is indeed only Jiao Yuchen who sent someone to follow…” Jiao Yuyin nodded thoughtfully and gave the order: “Alright, let’s go eat.”
