She discovered that the fragrance was coming from Chen Yidu's house and poked her head around the balcony.
At this time, the WeChat notification sounded on the phone, and it was from Chen Yidu.
"Stop looking and come here."
Li Weiwei looked at it and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Chen Yidu held the menu and opened the door for her in an apron, looking completely different from his usual domineering appearance.
Li Weiwei looked greedy when she saw the food on the table. She couldn't help but grab the food with her hands and put it into her mouth, saying inarticulately: "It's delicious!"
Chen Yidu said dotingly: "You didn't taste my craftsmanship yesterday, so I'll make it up to you today."
Li Weiwei said guiltily: "Uncle Huo insisted that I go to his house for dinner last night. I couldn't refuse. Don't be angry, Adu."
Chen Yidu nodded: "I understand, I'm not angry."
Li Weiwei said sweetly in her heart: "Adu, you are so kind!"
Chen Yidu scratched the tip of her nose lovingly and said, "Just wait a moment, there will be one more dish and we can start the meal."
Li Weiwei listened and nodded obediently. She saw the manuscript on the workbench and turned over it curiously.
At this time, Chen Yidu's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and saw that it was Cao Zhong. She quickly shouted to the kitchen: "Adu, phone."
Chen Yidu only focused on cooking and did not answer. Li Weiwei was about to send him his cell phone, but accidentally answered the call.
Cao Zhong cried and said: "Mr. Chen, are you really going to give up the company for Li Weiwei? You can't care about our life and death, Mr. Chen..."
Li Weiwei was shocked and hung up the phone.
Chen Yidu didn't notice anything and came out to call her: "Weiwei, it's time to eat!"
She quickly put the phone back where it belonged, her face expressionless.
While Li Weiwei was eating, she secretly looked at Chen Yidu and asked insinuatingly: "Adu, are you in trouble?"
Chen Yidu denied: "No, what's wrong?"
She pretended to be angry and said: "You still lied to me, Cao Zhong told me everything!"
Chen Yidu was shocked and quickly covered it up: "Oh, it's not a big deal. The board of directors knew about our relationship and had some complaints. I have already solved this matter, so don't worry about it."
Li Weiwei asked suspiciously: "Really?"
"Of course," after saying that, Chen Yidu gave her a piece of braised pork, "Chen's braised pork, my signature dish, come and try it."
Li Weiwei ate the braised pork sullenly, half convinced.
At the same time, Tiffany was slovenly dressed and walking home carrying a bag of instant noodles.
Leo stood in the open space in front of the building, with a mannequin standing behind him.
Tiffany said angrily: "Why is it you again!"
Leo dodged, revealing the wedding dress on the stage behind him: "Does it look familiar to you?"
Tiffany looked at the wedding dress: "This is the finale of our French show. How did you get it?"
Leo pretended to be stupid: "It's the finale, so you designed it?"
She said impatiently: "Nonsense, you haven't answered my question yet. This wedding dress is an orphan. Why is it in your hands?"
Leo was proud: "I asked my future brother-in-law to borrow it."
Tiffany didn't believe it at all: "Liar! Adu would never lend you such an important thing."
He said mysteriously: "Because I told my brother-in-law that I borrowed this wedding dress to perform a show for you."
Tiffany had a bad premonition: "What show?"
Leo took out a large brush from his back: "Look, now I'm going to perform the pinnacle of performance art for you - the wedding dress painting."
He held up the writing brush and approached the wedding dress eagerly.
Tiffany was shocked and angry, and hurriedly stood in front of the wedding dress to stop Leo: "What do you want to do?"
Leo had a bad smile on his face: "You'll know after I finish painting."
He continued to approach the wedding dress, and Tiffany was forced to step back step by step.
Leo picked up his pen and started drawing, while Tiffany gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, standing in front of the wedding dress without moving away.
He scribbled with a brush, stopped with satisfaction, and watched as a big turtle was painted on Tiffany's face.
Tiffany opened her eyes, touched the ink stains on her face, and immediately turned nervously to look at the wedding dress, which was still pure white.
She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get angry at Leo: "You idiot..." When she turned around, she saw Leo staring at her coldly, and asked guiltily: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Leo asked seriously: "Do you understand now?"
She frowned: "What do you understand?"
Leo replied: "How you feel when you watch your hard work being destroyed."
Hearing this, Tiffany was stunned.
"No matter what issues you have with Weiwei, you should not resort to dirty tricks to ruin her show. If you don't even know how to respect other people's works, then you are not qualified to be a designer at all."
Leo threw the pen away and turned to leave.
During working hours at Linglong Company, Huo Xiao entered the elevator.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, Li Weiwei squeezed in, pressed the button on the top floor, and said seriously: "Huo Xiao, I have something to tell you."
On the rooftop, Li Weiwei carefully took out the jade bracelet and handed it to Huo Xiao.
"sorry."
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment, but did not answer. He forced out an ugly smile and said, "Weiwei, please think carefully. There are some things you shouldn't say easily."
Li Weiwei took Huo Xiao's hand, put the bracelet in his palm, and said firmly: "I have thought it through. I have fallen in love with Chen Yidu, so I can no longer fulfill my engagement with you."
Huo Xiao said emotionally: "You are just temporarily confused by Chen Yidu. You will regret it when you see clearly what he is like. Weiwei, don't regret your marriage in a hurry, I can wait for you."
Li Weiwei shook her head: "It has nothing to do with Chen Yidu. I have always regarded you as a good brother in my heart. There is no relationship between men and women at all. I don't want to continue to lie to you and Uncle Huo. Huo Xiao, can we be friends like before?"
Huo Xiao looked at her sadly: "But in my heart, you are more than just a friend."
She said softly: "I'm sorry."
Huo Xiao looked at Li Weiwei's back sadly and clenched the bracelet in his hand.
Li Weiwei walked into the design department with relief, where Jenny and the others were gathered in front of the TV.
When Jenny saw her, she immediately turned off the TV.
Li Weiwei asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"
Jenny stammered: "No... nothing."
Others also looked away, not daring to look at Li Weiwei.
Li Weiwei looked at everyone suspiciously, grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV.
On the TV, there were scenes of Li Weiwei and Chen Yidu dating and holding hands.
The host reported: "Li Weiwei, the design director of Linglong Wedding Dresses, and Chen Yidu, the president of DU Wedding Dresses, unexpectedly broke the news! This news not only shocked the entire fashion industry, but also made the battle between Linglong and DU for the right to enter Fontainebleau Department Store even more complicated..."
Upon seeing this, Li Weiwei was shocked on the spot and felt various complicated looks from Sophie and others around her.
Sophie asked her angrily: "Mr. Li, is it true what was said on TV? Did you really have an affair with Chen Yidu?"
Jenny rushed to defend Li Weiwei: "Of course it's fake, how could Mr. Li do this! Mr. Li treats us so well, and you still doubt her!"
Neither of them was convinced by the other, and they immediately started to quarrel.
Li Weiwei felt sad when she saw everyone arguing and turned to leave.
As she walked in the corridor, the employees around her looked at her and whispered, and when Li Weiwei looked at them, they lowered their heads to avoid eye contact with her.
Li Weiwei hid her sadness when she saw Huo Xiao walking out in a hurry.
She hurriedly went up to him and explained, "Huo Xiao, I really don't know what those photos are about!"
Huo Xiao said: "Dad had a heart attack and went to the hospital. If you have anything else, wait until I get back."
When Li Weiwei heard this, she immediately panicked: "I'll go with you."
Huo Xiao looked at her and nodded slightly.
As soon as the two people's car drove out of the garage, the reporters who had been waiting for it swarmed around the car and took pictures of Li Weiwei through the car window.
Li Weiwei looked a little panicked and at a loss.
Upon seeing this, Huo Xiao held Li Weiwei in his arms with one hand, shielded her from the camera with the other, and said to the driver: "Old Zhang, drive quickly."
The car accelerated and rushed out of the crowd of reporters.
Li Weiwei leaned in Huo Xiao's arms, looking helpless.
At the same time, all the directors of DU Company were sitting around the conference table, and the atmosphere was tense.
Director Zhang said in a strong tone: "Mr. Chen, the matter between you and Li Weiwei has been exposed in the media now, and we can't wait any longer! Whether to choose Li Weiwei or the company, you must give us an answer now."
Director Wu also chimed in: "That's right, which one do you choose?"
Chen Yidu said calmly: "As I said before, my personal life will not affect my decision-making on company affairs, and I will not break up with Li Weiwei."
The directors were also surprised and looked at each other.
Director Zhu kindly persuaded: "Mr. Chen, do you want to think about it again?"
Cao Zhong also had an anxious look on his face and whispered, "Mr. Chen, don't be impulsive!"
Director Zhang slammed the table angrily: "Since Mr. Chen's attitude is so resolute, our attitude is also very resolute. We are firmly opposed to you being with Li Weiwei. I request that the board of directors be convened immediately to start the impeachment process and let all directors decide whether you will stay or leave." .”
Chen Yidu frowned and said, "I have no objection, Cao Zhong, you can arrange this matter."
Cao Zhong was in a dilemma: "Mr. Chen, this..."
Chen Yidu opened the door and came out and bumped into Tiffany who was eavesdropping outside the door.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, his back looking a little lonely.
Seeing Chen Yidu like this from behind, Tiffany showed distress on her face and begged: "Adu, please let me go back to the company! Such a big thing has happened, both the company and you can use me now. What happened before was that I was too impulsive and I shouldn't have sent people to cause trouble at Li Weiwei's show. I have deeply reflected on it these days and promise not to do it again in the future! Adu, just let me come back."
Cao Zhong echoed: "Yes, Mr. Chen, please forgive Tiffany. In this situation, one more person will bring more strength."
