Lu Xining listened as the footsteps got closer and closer, and became clearer and clearer. Every step seemed to step on her heart, until it suddenly stopped.
She knew that Jin Shaoheng was already standing in front of the cabinet door. As the air fell silent, her heart tensed to the extreme.
She could even feel his breathing and the sound of his hand on the doorknob.
Now how to do?
She suddenly thought of Jin Shaoheng's mysophobia and turtle hair. If he saw her sitting in his clothes, would someone just throw her out?
Just now I could just say hello politely and leave, but I have to make myself look like this.
Lu Xining, Lu Xining, you are really mentally retarded.
She spurned herself and hugged the bag in her arms. There was no crack in the ground to get through, and she had no invisibility skills. She could only watch the cabinet door being opened little by little, and then her eyes met in the gap.
A slight surprise flashed in Jin Shaoheng's eyes, and then more complexity emerged. The color of his eyes was too dark, making it difficult to distinguish.
The two of them just looked at each other, as if they had been staring at each other for eternity... Just when Lu Xining finally felt that he had the courage to face it, his cell phone rang again on the bed.
Jin Shaoheng tightened his grip on the cabinet door handle, and finally closed the cabinet again silently.
"Hello? Qingyue..."
Lu Xining heard him calling Lin Qingyue's name, then packed up the clothes on the bed and left quickly.
At that moment, Lu Xining couldn't tell what feeling was filling his heart. It felt like he was relieved, but also like he was overwhelmed by huge sadness.
Yes, they have divorced, what else does she expect? Even the dislike and cynicism towards her have become a luxury.
She has become a stranger who has nothing to do with him anymore, so naturally she is not worthy of his attention.
Thinking about how nervous I was before, I was really being conceited.
Lu Xining stayed in the cabinet for a long time. When the sound of the engine was heard outside, she gathered her mood and went downstairs.
"Young Mistress?" Zhuang Ma obviously wanted to go upstairs to find her, and then asked with concern: "Master, didn't you see you?"
After all, they had been upstairs for so long and there was no movement. She thought they had talked.
"Yeah." Lu Xining responded vaguely.
Zhuang's mother was anxious after hearing this and was about to say something else, when Lu Xining had already left quickly.
Not long after she left, Sawyer called and asked if she was still willing to continue working.
Lu Xining then remembered that he originally had a job.
It is already rare for me, an intern who has only been working for a short time, to give her such a long vacation.
In addition, Lu Yuzheng kept asking, and she had no other plans for the time being, so she decided to go to work first.
"Xining?" Unexpectedly, before entering the company building, Gu Yuzhi's voice came from behind.
Gu Xining turned around and saw Gu Yuzhi getting out of the car.
Lu Xining subconsciously looked around and chose a business-like title: "Mr. Gu."
Gu Yuzhi didn't care about this, he just looked at her and said, "I heard what Meng Wanyang said."
Originally, I was worried that she might be too seriously injured and unable to adjust for a while. Now that she is in good condition, I feel relieved.
Lu Xining instantly understood that why the company asked about her work matters was probably because of Gu Yuzhi's instructions.
Realizing this, she immediately felt guilty. After all, she had "abandoned" him repeatedly because of other people, so how could she have the face to associate with him now?
Gu Yuzhi saw through her thoughts, touched her head and comforted her: "I told you I don't care."
His wish is also very simple, just to see her every day.
"Thank you, Brother Yu." How can she be virtuous? She is surrounded by friends who warm her.
"Go to work quickly. Let's have dinner and talk together in the evening." Gu Yuzhi said again.
The happiest thing is that she finally got divorced, so that he can pursue her without any scruples.
"Yeah." Lu Xining nodded and took the lead in entering the company.
When she came to the department where she worked before, her colleagues had already arrived, and they were surprised to see her.
"Xiao Lu?"
"Xining."
"Good morning everyone." Lu Xining greeted everyone and sat down.
The colleague next to her drew a chair next to her and asked, "What have you been doing for so long? We all thought you resigned."
"Something happened." Lu Xining replied.
"I heard that someone in your family is sick, are you okay?" Although they didn't know the specific situation, they had heard something about it.
"It's ready." Lu Xining replied.
"That's good." My colleague was also sincere.
At this time, the phone in her hand rang, and her colleagues looked at it. It was a group created privately by their department, and someone in the group posted a photo of Zhang Yuzhi touching Lu Xining's head at the door.
Of course, Lu Xining also saw it.
"Xiao Lu, have you hidden it deep enough?"
"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Mr. Gu?"
She said that Lu Xining's position had been vacant for so long and no one had been recruited. She thought the department didn't think it was necessary, but it turned out that it was still waiting for her.
Although everyone was surprised, they were all working in the workplace after all, so they immediately started to inquire about it as a joke.
"No, we just know each other." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Lu Xining had to deal with it.
"It doesn't look like we just know each other, right?" Who knows that they are not easy to dismiss.
Lu Xining just smiled and didn't want to say anything more.
"Some people, who usually pretend to be well-behaved and obey the rules, actually come in through the back door." A discordant voice suddenly sounded.
Lu Xining glanced at the person opposite him. It was the woman who took the initiative to rub against the manager at the welcome reception not long ago.
She suffered a loss, but did not gain anything. Now that the relationship between Lu Xining and Gu Yuzhi was confirmed, she became more convinced that the manager's dismissal was related to her, and she started to hold a grudge in her heart.
"Maisui, I think you are jealous." Someone stood up for Lu Xining.
"Hey, seeing that he has a backing, you immediately fall in line and flatter him?" Maisui countered.
"Everyone treats each other. Besides, I'm just saying nice things. It's not like some people who have no bottom line. Everyone loses money and ends up gaining nothing."
"That's right, everyone is the same, why should we laugh at the fifty steps?"
No one in the office was a vegetarian, so they all took the opportunity to join the team.
"Then I advise you to find out clearly. Others are just playing for fun, leaving you with nothing to enjoy -" Maisui said harshly.
Lu Xining was not happy because her colleagues stood up for her, they just used her as a weapon.
But she couldn't offend both sides, it was like this at work, so she just didn't talk and let them argue on their own.
As for her relationship with Gu Yuzhi, she knew that no matter what she said, there would be different versions when it was spread.
In other words, even if she doesn't say anything now, the whole company is already talking about it.
The two sides were arguing with each other, and Lu Xining was about to get up and go to the tea room, but suddenly Mai Sui grabbed his arm: "You should talk about it!"
Lu Xining's refusal to respond made Maisui guess that she actually didn't have much confidence, otherwise she would have shown off by now.
"That's right, brother Yu Zhi and I have known each other since we were children." Seeing her reluctance, Lu Xining admitted openly and even pretended to be intimidating: "You'd better be careful in the future and don't mess with me."
"you……"
Lu Xining usually kept quiet, so Mai Sui thought he was a soft persimmon?
But she was really frightened. After all, they were "relatives of the emperor and the country." She, a small employee with no background, really didn't have the strength to compete with them.
In the end, he had to sit down dejectedly and muttered: "What's so great about it."
I thought this matter would just go away, but Maisui became angrier the more she thought about it, and made trouble all morning.
For example, when a colleague asked Lu Xining to do something, she would remind him: "Be careful if someone complains to Brother Yu."
Someone asked Lu Xining to copy the information, and she added: "If you take so much, my brother Yu will feel bad if he finds out."
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, the name is quite friendly, but I don't know whether Mr. Gu will admit it or not." As a result, uninformed colleagues from other departments thought that Lu Xining was deliberately putting on airs and not doing anything.
Later, for some reason everyone felt that Lu Xining was bragging. I have to say that Mai Sui's operation was really brilliant.
But he was quickly slapped in the face.
After getting off work at noon, everyone was discussing what to eat. When they were about to leave the office, Gu Yuzhi's secretary came over with a lunch box.
"Miss Lu, Mr. Gu ordered eel rice for lunch. Remembering your favorite food, he asked me to bring you one." The secretary was really polite to Lu Xining.
"Thanks."
But this operation still surprised Lu Xining. Could it be that the gossip had already reached Gu Yuzhi's ears?
But since the things were delivered, she had to keep them because even if she refused, she would be accused of putting on airs.
"Mr. Gu also said that he will wait for you at the door after get off work to remind you not to forget your appointment in the evening." The secretary added.
"Cough...cough..." A colleague who was drinking water choked after hearing this.
