Maisui caught the evidence, and the yin and yang were strange.
"How Xining is doing is her private matter, why are you talking so much here?" Tu Ruoxi couldn't stand it and stood up for Lu Xining.
"What does this have to do with you?" Maisui didn't take her seriously at all.
"Then it's your business?" Tu Ruoxi was unwilling to be outdone.
"Why are you defending her like this? Does she also want to introduce you to a rich man?" Maisui said disdainfully.
"So that's why you're so mean? But with you acting like this, I'm afraid you didn't even take a look at the introduction." Tu Ruoxi could see through her mind.
"You——" When did this girl become so sharp-tongued?
"Okay, what are you arguing about? You don't have to work?" The manager saw the chaos and reprimanded.
Everyone then returned to their seats. The manager glanced at Lu Xining and said, "Come in with me."
Lu Xining followed her into the office, expecting to be scolded, but the manager sat down, looked at her disheartened face, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lu Xining nodded, not even bothering to say anything.
"The project at Hengqing has started. You can hand over the work in the next two days and report there." This was the purpose of the manager calling her in.
"Okay." Lu Xining responded.
"Cheer up. Don't be so lifeless when you are young. It's not good." The manager encouraged.
Lu Xining reluctantly smiled at her, because he really didn't have the strength, so he left the office.
After a busy afternoon, Tu Ruoxi took Lu Xining's hand when she got off work: "Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Lu Xining's work was temporarily handed over to her, and she could also chat privately.
"Next time." Lu Xining accepted her kindness, but he was really not in the mood today.
She just felt that her whole body was very tired, her heart was tired, her body was tired, and she couldn't feel energetic anywhere.
"Okay." Tu Ruoxi let go and did not force her.
"There are some people out there who just don't have self-awareness. They flatter themselves on their own, right? They have such high standards that they think anyone can be friends with them?" Maisui and several other colleagues came out and looked at them as if they were laughing.
Tu Ruoxi.
Tu Ruoxi didn't mean that at first, she just thought Lu Xining was easy to get along with, but when they said this, she lost her face.
At that time, Lu Xining had already stepped down the steps, and a car parked on the side of the road slowly drove in front of her.
"Madam." The driver got out of the car and said respectfully: "Mr. Jin asked me to take you home."
Maybe Jin Shaoheng meant well, but for Lu Xining, this undoubtedly meant monitoring and restricting her behavior, and she suddenly felt bad.
But she knew she couldn't get rid of it, so she turned around and shouted: "Ruoxi!"
When people in the office area saw that there was a special car coming to pick her up, they all looked at her curiously, including Tu Ruoxi.
She suddenly heard her name and came down to look at her with some hesitation.
Lu Xining opened the back seat door and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
"Oh, okay." Tu Ruoxi reacted and quickly sat in.
At that moment, several female colleagues who were standing at the door watching the excitement were envious, but they could only watch the luxurious car drive the two of them away.
"Did you hear that? The driver's name is Mrs. Xining. Could it be that she is married?" The most important thing is that she actually has a special driver.
"Is it fake? You got married and you still don't know anything about it, Mr. Gu." Someone started to get sour.
"People have said that we are just brothers and sisters, but you don't believe it."
"What kind of man do you think she married?"
"She's pretty pretty in this kind of picture. Most of them are bald and have a beer belly. She might be a matchmaker." Mai Sui has the most vicious mouth.
"Just be jealous."
…
After Tu Ruoxi got on the bus, the driver asked her for her address. Because she was Lu Xining's colleague, he was extra polite.
Tu Ruoxi was actually quite flattered. She was a single girl, and it was not interesting to go home without working overtime, so she asked them to send her to the entrance of the shopping mall, planning to go shopping or something.
"Xining, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
The two said goodbye, and Lu Xining looked at her retreating figure with envy in his eyes because she was so free and carefree.
With his thoughts racing, the car started again and stopped after about half an hour.
When she came back to her senses and saw the Imperial View Villa, she was a little surprised.
"Mr. Jin said it was uncomfortable living there and he has already moved all his things back." The driver looked at her expression in the rearview mirror and said.
Lu Xining got out of the car without saying anything.
It was originally like this. He was in a good mood and was willing to coax her for as many days as he wanted. Now that his cards were laid out, there was no need to stay in that small room anymore.
The driver felt very uneasy when he saw that she had no intention of getting out of the car.
It took a long time for Lu Xining to gather enough breath and actually step on Dijing's courtyard.
She thought she would never come back, but she didn't expect to come back like this, in such embarrassment and shame.
"Young Mistress." Perhaps because she had been standing outside for too long, Mother Wang came out with an eager look on her face.
Lu Xining realized that he didn't even have the strength to move the corners of his lips to give her a smile.
Wang Ma also saw that something was wrong with her, so she helped her into the house first: "Mr. Jin said that he might have to come back very late because of the entertainment. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it."
"No need." Lu Xining said and went upstairs.
Wang Ma was left looking at her in confusion, but Jin Shaoheng said that he must serve her with all his heart and watch her eat more...
——Divider line——
late at night
Jin Shaoheng did come back a little late and drank some wine.
The servants in the main building have also gone to bed, leaving only Wang Ma waiting.
"Master." She stood at the entrance and took over Jin Shaoheng's clothes.
Jin Shaoheng glanced around the room and asked, "Is she asleep?"
She, of course, refers to Lu Xining.
Wang Ma nodded and said, "Young lady didn't eat anything at night and didn't talk much."
Although my complexion was also very bad in the morning, it looked better than it does now. I don’t know what’s wrong, like a flower that is about to wither, without any vitality.
Jin Shaoheng knew that he was forcing her, and she couldn't accept it in her heart. There must be such a process. He nodded slightly, motioned to Wang Ma to rest, and went upstairs.
Pushing open the door of the master bedroom, I saw a bulging figure on the bed in the dim light.
Jin Shaoheng walked in lightly, turned on the lamp, and saw Lu Xining curled up on the quilt, his expression really bad.
He took a shower first, wrapped himself in a nightgown and came out. After getting into bed, he carefully put her into his arms, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw her eyelashes twitching.
Pretending to sleep?
Jin Shaoheng knew what she was hiding from, but the more she avoided him, the more he wanted to do something to prove that she belonged to him, so he spread her body forcefully.
Lu Xining naturally refused. During the struggle, the thing she was holding in her arms suddenly fell to the ground - it turned out to be Zhang Tingyu's posthumous photo!
