do not love
Xia Xiaobei still wanted to refuse, but it was harder to get a car at People's Square at this point than climbing the sky.
Somehow she said, "I'll take the subway by myself."
He had already opened the door of the passenger seat and turned to her and said, "Don't be stupid, get in the car."
Speaking of this, she had to get into the car obediently. The car emitted a faint fragrance. She had been riding Lei Yunze's car before and knew that he did not have the habit of spraying perfume in the car. When she looked up, she saw a crystal clear amber ornament hanging on the rearview mirror of the car, swinging gently, almost dazzling her eyes.
"Ms. Wen is back together?"
On this side, Lei Yunze also turned around and got into the car. When she heard her question, she was a little stunned. When she saw her staring at the pendant, she reached out to take it off.
Xia Xiaobei asked in surprise: "What did you pick it? Is this Danish amber?"
The amber in the Danish amber room is known as the "Child of a Mermaid". This time they went to Nordic honeymoon, they were inevitably able to bring some souvenirs back.
He ignored it, insisted on taking it off and throwing it into the storage box. "I don't like hanging things in the car," he said.
Seeing his face getting darker, Xia Xiaobei also realized that he might have talked too much.
The car drove all the way to the highway, and Lei Yunze suddenly turned his face and said to her: "Zi Yan may contact you in the next two days."
"Ah?" Xia Xiaobei was a little surprised, "What did she ask me for?"
"When we were in Nordic Europe, she said she wanted to buy souvenirs for you, and I don't know what it is."
Xia Xiaobei suddenly felt that one person had two big heads. Apart from being a matchmaker invisibly, she didn't have much interaction with the young lady. She didn't understand why the young lady was so "good" to her.
Lei Yunze also felt strange and thought for a while and said, "Zi Yan just returned to China and has no friends in Shanghai. Maybe he is particularly close to you."
As the scent of the carriage became more and more cramped, Xia Xiaobei subconsciously turned his head and looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window.
In the next few days, Xia Xiaobei received calls for interviews one after another, but the result was surprisingly unified: either she thought her education was too low or she thought she was not qualified. Someone even pointed to her experience of "four years of work in the world" and said that they "small offerings to the Buddhas in the temple". Such a monotonous statement even Xia Xiaobei himself began to doubt.
She called Lan Jia, and Lan Jia only asked her: "Did you offend anyone above?"
She thought about it carefully. Apart from Ye Shaoqian and Lei Yunze, she could have something to do with "the people above". She was puzzled, and finally Lan Jia said, "I'll ask Kelly to help you check it out."
The clues found by Liang Kaili are all related to Huanyu. Xia Xiaobei remembered that he met Lei Yunze at the interview company that day, and suddenly felt his scalp numb.
What is he thinking? Force her to beg him and have to go back to the universe?
She didn't know where the courage came from, so she closed her phone and took a taxi to Huanyu. When she arrived in the building, the front desk lady knew her and said politely: "Miss Xia, wait a moment, I'll call to help you ask."
The result of the news was that Lei Yunze was having a meeting, but he knew that she was here and asked her to wait in the reception room for a while. His meeting was always long, and this "after a while" was really indefinite, maybe it would take three or two hours.
She was full of anger and had nowhere to release, so she made up her mind to wait for him to come out here. She took the elevator to the 38th floor. Xiao Liu from the secretary's room was particularly enthusiastic when she saw her and made coffee and said to her: "Secretary Xia, sit for a while, and the president will come over in a while."
Unexpectedly, this "after a while" was really just a while. Before the coffee in his hand was cold, he came in. She looked down at her watch, looking for about thirteen minutes.
I was a little surprised to see her, so I pointed to the door of my office and said, "Come in."
She stood up and followed him into the familiar president's office.
He greeted her politely: "Sit."
“No need.”
Her tone was quite cold, and he couldn't help but raise his eyelids and glanced at him again, only to see her standing at his desk, breathing a little rapid: "Mr. Lei."
"You stand at such a high place, I always thought that your horizons will be broader than others." She paused, with a nearly contemptuous smile, "But I didn't expect you to be so despicable. The higher you stand, the more sinister you play, the more you play, what else can you do except use such shameful means? What else can you bully others by virtue of your power? Are you very proud to bully a poor and careless little person like me? Do you think I will come to beg you when I have no way out? You want to force me to return to the world... Lei Yunze, I look down on you from the bottom of my heart."
She spit out all the anger word and word that had been prepared when she was waiting. After saying that, she stood there, looking straight at him.
His deep and quiet eyes were also staring at her, as if he had never seen her before. After a while, he suddenly sneered: "Where did you learn this trick? If I want to mess with you, I can't let you go out of this door when I say something just now."
His words were calm and did not seem to threaten anyone, but they had the power to believe that what he said was indeed true.
Seeing her stunned there for a while and not speaking, Lei Yunze issued an order to expel guests: "If Miss Xia, you came up just to say these words, then you can leave now."
She vented with all her might, but she didn't expect that it would end like this in the end. It was just that she was too young and had no confidence in cursing, or that Lei Yunze was too deeply aware of his Taoism.
After a few days of work-seeking, Xia Xiaobei had basically given up. But then Lan Jia called again and said: Although the evidence found last time was related to Huanyu, it was not Lei Yunze's intention, but from his newlywed wife, Wen Ziyan.
When Xia Xiaobei remembered that she once said to Lei Yunze with confidence, "Your wife is too simple", she felt cold sweat. Fortunately, she ran to Lei Yunze with great momentum and made a big fuss. Unexpectedly, after going around in a circle, the truth was like this. She suddenly felt ashamed and angry, and she blamed herself for being too impulsive and not passing through her brain.
However, things in this world have always been afraid of anything. Last time Lei Yunze said that Wen Ziyan might contact her in the near future, so she really received a call from Wen Ziyan.
Wen Ziyan is still so generous and beautiful, noble and elegant. She has a gift bag with exquisite packaging in her hand and pushed it to her and said, "Ms. Xia, this is for you. vincent and I have seen a lot of fun things in Denmark this time."
Xia Xiaobei felt inexplicably fear, as if he was alert, but just looked at the box on the table and did not take it.
Wen Ziyan was stunned and said, "Don't you open it? See if you like it or not."
Xia Xiaobei had to open the beautiful packaging as he said. The box was a teardrop-shaped amber pendant, with a very bright appearance, exactly the same as the one Lei Yunze hung in the car.
Xia Xiaobei looked at the amber, like a lover's tears, feeling a little guilty, and more angry.
She spoke directly: "Miss Wen, I don't remember any offending you. If there is really, then I apologize to you and ask you to be generous and forgive me."
The smile on Wen Ziyan's face condensed inch by inch, like the old wall skin peeling off from the base of the wall.
Xia Xiaobei said sincerely: "A little person like me is just a mediocre person who makes a living, and you don't need to take such pains. You are very compatible with Mr. Lei. Really, what you are worried about will never happen."
Wen Ziyan's pupils contracted sharply. At this moment, she almost lost her composure, but she immediately laughed: "I underestimated your ability, Miss Xia. The difficulties you encountered in job hunting were indeed set for you. I heard that you were going to the United States before, so I didn't plan to move you, but you didn't leave. I thought about it and couldn't figure out why you were staying. Since you didn't leave, I had to find a way to send you away."
It turned out that she had gone around such a big circle just to force her to leave, forcing her to leave Shanghai far away from Lei Yunze. But she didn't know that even if she didn't do this, she would never provoke Lei Yunze, and she wouldn't have any ideas about a married man.
"Yes, we are married, but as soon as he got on the plane, he started to be out of control. We stayed in Northern Europe for only three days. Although others were by my side for three days, my heart had already flown back here. Later I learned that the phone told him that you didn't get on the plane. Because of this, he was in a hurry to come back three days later, and the day after he came back, you would meet!"
Xia Xiaobei was a little shocked and said at a loss: "He came back just to talk about a big case. I happened to do that day..."
"Ctually?" Wen Ziyan smiled, her laughter was light and crisp, and still so beautiful. "How many coincidences do you think there are in this world? Do you think that with so many resumes, you happened to be the interviewer and entered the world? Do you think that with your qualifications, you can be a vincent assistant secretary? Miss Xia, it turns out that you have been in the workplace for so many years, and you are still so naive."
Innocence... She once said Wen Ziyan was innocent, but now it seems that innocence is indeed her. She never expected that even her entry into the world was deliberately arranged by others. She is today. She thought it was obtained by her diligent efforts, but it turned out that it was not. From beginning to end, she was just a chess piece at the mercy of others.
She didn't know what to say, so she could only repeat: "But you are already married..."
When it comes to marriage, Wen Ziyan laughed unexpectedly, and the laughter was full of sarcasm: "Vincent never thought of marrying me. Yes, we had a engagement, we went to France to study together, but he came back early. When he left, he told me that he would find a way to terminate the engagement, hoping that we could all find our own happiness. He doesn't love me, and never loves me... But for you, he promised his mother to marry me. Oh, you may not know Aunt Qin's methods. Today you fell into my hands, and there might be a glimmer of life. If Aunt Qin took action personally, there would probably be no more voices about Xia Xiaobei in this world."
Xia Xiaobei's back felt cold when she heard this, but she actually didn't understand it very much. The people in their circle always wanted to kill this and that one, but she understood one thing. This marriage was not something Lei Yunze was willing to do.
She remembered that time he almost lost his composure and asked in front of her: "If I said I didn't want to marry Wen Ziyan at all, if... without Shaoqian, would you... love me?"
At that time, she instinctively escaped this assumption, and her answer was "no if", or even she herself didn't know the exact answer.
Wen Ziyan said: "You are so good at pretending to be stupid and just gave me the ring in front of vincent. I guess vincent must be so angry. He proposed to you, but you transferred the proposal ring to me. I have never seen such a fun thing in my life. Xia Xiaobei, you are so interesting."
She suffered too many blows today, and this time she could no longer tell what she felt. She only felt mixed feelings. She always felt that Lei Yunze was arrogant and he could have many girlfriends, but she would never notice her. Even if she had been confused about her, it must be because of the child and proposal... something she dared not think about, but she couldn't imagine that she personally pushed him towards someone she didn't love.
She took a deep breath and asked her: "So, what's the matter now? You still try every means to approach me, why?"
"It's nothing, I'm just doing it for vincent," Wen Ziyan spread his hands indifferently. "You probably don't know that vincent and his mother's relationship is very stiff. On the one hand, it's because of his elder sister, but it's not so stiff that he doesn't speak at all. But this time his mother used you to threaten him to get married. He said on the surface, but he basically broke off relations with Beijing. vincent is very smart. He has to be guarded at all times, so why can't he be guarded against me? He is afraid that I will not be beneficial to you, so I will try to create a state of mutual appreciation and happiness in front of him. Aren't you happy about it? Keep pushing him to me and using me as a shield. Don't worry, as long as you leave Shanghai obediently, I promise to give you a good job that is not inferior to the world, and you can leave vincent, aren't you just happy?"
Xia Xiaobei was instinctively disgusted: "Whether I go or not, that's my business."
Wen Ziyan smiled leisurely: "I'm just trying to be at ease. I know you can't make a fuss."
He didn't say anything but a long sentence, not to mention that he was such a hypocritical person in front of him. Xia Xiaobei felt disgusted and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, we don't need to continue talking. Say goodbye."
She felt heavy in her heart. She felt that she owed Lei Yunze something, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she didn't. After all, she had devoted herself to the world for four years and nothing was enough to pay back. (To be continued)
