Gong Che lowered his eyes and looked at the letter of appointment.
"Alright, it was my oversight. Please keep the offer letter for Liang. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news!"
Liang Shiyue was sitting in the guardhouse, lost in thought.
The original gatehouse was demolished long ago, and the foundation of the new guardhouse was raised considerably.
It was spacious and bright, and the living area at the back was about the size of a standard hotel room.
The shadow of Lu Gensheng's cramped living quarters is nowhere to be seen anymore.
The security guard was a middle-aged man. Perhaps he had been spending too much time with the silent neighbors. He brought a cup of hot water, placed it next to Liang Shiyue, and then didn't say another word.
Liang Shiyue looked up and saw Gong Che striding towards a car.
A short while later, the car drove away in style.
The security guard watched the car drive away respectfully before closing the gate again, as there was still an hour or so before the park officially opened.
"Xiaoyue, let's go!"
While Liang Shiyue was lost in thought, Lu Yi knocked on the window in front of her.
The atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat heavy. Lu Yi turned on the music, but after flipping through a few songs, he turned it off again.
"Lu Yi, I don't want to study anymore!"
Liang Shiyue hugged the cushion, her fingers quickly tugging at the tassels on it. She finished speaking in a muffled voice and lowered her head.
"If you don't study, what do you want to do..."
Lu Yi glanced at her, his gaze suddenly softening.
Like something exclusively for a certain person, Liang Shiyue was flattered and her ears turned slightly red.
Lu Yi frowned. Fan Huijun seemed to have mentioned it to him briefly, but at the time he was only thinking about Liang's mother's funeral and didn't take it to heart.
Liang Shiyue picked up the appointment letter from the center console and opened her mouth in shock when she saw her name on it.
His lips were pale and dry, but the curve of his lips still gave him a smile.
"Is this the position you assigned to me?"
What secretary? That sounds mysterious.
That person was clearly not someone to be trifled with; he personally went to the cemetery early in the morning to deliver the betrothal letter, which shows that Lu Yizhen had put a lot of thought into her.
"no."
Lu Yi didn't want to dampen her spirits.
After all, at this critical juncture, hope is of utmost importance to her.
But Lu Yi didn't want to lie to her.
Lu Yi parked the car on the side of the road and tapped his fingertips randomly on the steering wheel.
Liang Shiyue silently put the appointment letter back in its original place.
"Sister Junjun said that I can start from the bottom at Fan's Group. I'd be happy to help you if it helps."
Life abroad held no appeal for her.
She truly felt the rejection she received from Fengcheng University.
I secretly called the school and said I wanted to breach the contract and was willing to take full responsibility, but the school leaders were vague and didn't say yes or no.
Finally, he added that she should consider it carefully and not rush to make a decision.
Lu Yi turned to look at her guilty expression. "You still want to go back to Fengda University? The school won't accept you, is that right?"
Liang Shiyue scratched her head awkwardly.
"The leader's meaning was unclear... Actually, I also feel ashamed, since the school helped me out of my immediate predicament."
"Although it was self-funded, my time abroad really broadened my horizons. Maybe I should just go back to my studies!"
All told, there are only a few months left.
However, she needs some time to process the tragic fact of her mother's death.
When we left, my mother was still a healthy 120-pound woman. On the plane, she looked around excitedly, just like a child.
She returned not long ago, only to find herself reduced to ashes.
Although we were still on a plane, I no longer heard her incessant questions.
If she goes back, she will choose to stay in the dormitory arranged by the school.
“Xiaoyue, this is the hardest time for you. I know I should keep you by my side, or do whatever makes me comfortable, but…”
Lu Yi squeezed her hand. "For safety's sake, Mr. Gong's arrangement is the most appropriate."
Let Liang Shiyue go to Gong Che's side, it's a win-win-win situation!
"real?"
Liang Shiyue bit her lip, picked up the employment contract again, and carefully read it word by word.
She wanted a change of scenery.
Fan Huijun took good care of her, and she couldn't bear to refuse her kindness.
In the quiet of the night, I always blame myself for being someone who drifts with the tide and has no self-control.
The current reaction confirms this.
Am I a coward?
Liang Shiyue laughed at herself.
Tears welled up in her eyes again after crying all night.
Lu Yi handed her the tissue box, started the car, and smoothly merged into the main traffic flow.
"Xiaoyue, you are not cowardly, but you know how to assess the situation. People's circumstances are always unpredictable."
"Lu Han attacked you because of me, and this is the second time. I absolutely will not allow it to happen a third time."
“However, the equipment that can provide treatment for Coco has not yet been successfully developed, so I cannot take care of your needs. Mr. Gong is not a bad person, you can trust him.”
Liang Shiyue tried to compose herself and decided to ask the question that had been bothering her.
"He looks a bit like Young Master Huo..."
She had a very good impression of Huo Jingxi and Huo Xiao.
I remember their appearance very clearly.
The moment she saw Gong Che, she wanted to ask him something.
"You read that right. Gong Che is the eldest son of the Huo family. Due to some past events, he severed ties with the Huo family and changed his surname to his mother's."
"He arranged your exchange program, and he also bears responsibility for your accident, so he wants to make amends."
After saying this, Lu Yi's expression tightened slightly.
Liang Shiyue is simple-minded, and I'm afraid she'll think the worst.
As I turned the steering wheel, the rooftop of the tallest building in the Fan family came into view.
Liang Shiyue suddenly smiled, "Lu Yi, I used to be quite sensitive and liked to read people's minds, but I've gotten rid of that bad habit."
