Chapter 106: Uninvited

Views:

When I went to the hospital after get off work, I sat with Teacher Gu’s son. I would ask him about Teacher Gu’s affairs at home, and he would also ask me about Teacher Gu’s status at school. We kept chatting until around eight o'clock in the evening, when Teacher Gu's daughter and son-in-law came to take over.

"Classmate Liang is here." Teacher Gu's daughter smiled at me kindly.

Teacher Gu’s son said: “We have been here for several hours and are very worried about our father’s health.”

Teacher Gu’s daughter looked at me and said, “Classmate Liang, have you eaten?”

I didn't eat, but now I had to lie and replied: "Aunt Gu, I have eaten."

The woman smiled and chatted with me for a few words, then looked at the time and said, "It's getting late. You all have to go to work tomorrow, so hurry up and leave."

After saying goodbye, I left the hospital with Teacher Gu’s son. He insisted on taking me home, and we separated in front of the apartment door.

In fact, they didn't know that a big part of the reason why I stayed in the hospital and refused to leave was because I was worried about Teacher Gu's health, but there was also some selfishness in it. I'm afraid of going back to the apartment alone. Then I won't have anyone to talk to, and I'll start thinking wildly again.

After returning to the apartment, I took a shower, put on my pajamas and sat on the sofa in the living room. My stomach was churning with hunger and growling, so I took out the snacks Xu Lu bought me last time from the refrigerator, which included bread and crispy noodles.

Sitting on the sofa, I turned on the TV and chewed while adjusting the channel.

During this period, my mother sent me a voice message. I chatted with her for about ten or twenty minutes. She asked me if I was okay. I forced a smile, swallowed my bitterness, and replied "yes."

But after all, I felt like I was visiting a grave. After a few words of conversation, my mother said, "Are you sleepy?"

I responded: "I'm a little tired from work today."

My mother immediately said: "Then go to bed quickly, I have nothing to do, let's talk some other time."

After hanging up the phone, a sourness suddenly welled up in my heart. I couldn't tell whether it was homesickness or grievance. Tears rushed into my eyes.

When I was chatting with my mother just now, I swallowed my words several times. I wanted to tell her that if she saw news about me on the Internet tomorrow, don’t believe it, but deep down in my heart, I had a sense of luck and placed my hope on Ji Guanxin, who said he would help me.

That's how I am. After something bad happens, my first reaction is to hide it. To a certain extent, it can be said that I won't die until I jump into the Yellow River.

Although I didn't do anything at the end of the day, I was still exhausted mentally and physically. I was obviously very sleepy, but my nerves were still tense. I stayed on the sofa until about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and I didn't go upstairs to sleep.

My eyelids were fighting. Several times, I only realized after opening my eyes that I had fallen asleep. After several times, I finally stayed up until midnight.

I immediately picked up the notebook in front of me and refreshed the web page to see if the headlines had changed.

I didn’t change it. I couldn’t tell whether I was happy or disappointed. I always felt that I had gone through it all in vain.

Feeling uneasy all the time, I closed my computer and went upstairs, thinking that even if the sky fell, I would have to wait until tomorrow. I couldn't survive it.

I fell asleep and fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes. But I had a very restless sleep that night and woke up almost every two hours.

I put my computer next to my bed, and I would refresh the headlines when I got up. But I waited until after five o'clock in the morning, and I still didn't wait.

When I fell asleep again, it was already dawn. I was woken up by the alarm clock on my mobile phone. When I got up, I saw it was 7:30 in the morning.

My whole body felt weak and I couldn't open my eyes. It felt like I hadn't slept all night.

After a moment of confusion, I saw the computer next to me, and then I realized that there were still very important things waiting for me to confirm.

I sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the computer, and instantly became energetic.

This time I refreshed the web page again, and indeed the headlines had changed, and without exception the first one was the news about Luo Xiangdong.

I almost pointed in with trembling fingers, my brain was in a state of extreme tension. I glanced at ten lines, just looking for my name or words like assistant and secretary.

But what made me completely stunned was that Luo Xiangdong was indeed photographed walking a certain woman back to his apartment, having dinner in the same car, etc., but not with me, but with domestic A-list supermodel Du Ting.

I'm not very familiar with the modeling industry, but I still know Du Ting's name.

I looked at the pictures on the website. The reporter used a long-distance telephoto lens to capture Luo Xiangdong and Du Ting eating together in a Western restaurant. Two people left the restaurant and he opened the car door for her. Later, two more people entered the restaurant together. Photos of the garden villa area.

The reporter below said that Du Ting appeared in the UK yesterday to walk the catwalk for Dior Haute Couture. Luo Xiangdong appeared in the VIP stand. After the show, he immediately picked up Du Ting, and the relationship between the two surfaced.

I stared at the web page and breathed a sigh of relief at first, but soon I felt my whole body burning. Luo Xiangdong had already gone to England for a date, but I was so stupid that I thought the person photographed by the reporter was me, and even shamelessly asked Ji Guanxin for help.

This time, the face was really slapped.

Wait, something suddenly occurred to me. There is an eight-hour time difference between the UK and China. That is to say, reporters took photos of the two of them in the UK and only later spread them to China. So for such a long time, Ji Guanxin has never been there. You know, I'm not the one in the photo

Once you have this idea in your mind, you won't be able to get it out of your mind. I was thinking about this until I appeared on the top floor of Luo's and returned to my office.

Does Ji Guanxin know the truth of the matter? If he had known it for a long time, wouldn't the phone call I made yesterday have dug my own grave and told him that I have a close relationship with Luo Xiangdong

But if he didn't know, then after our phone call yesterday, when he asked the people below, he would know that the matter had nothing to do with me, why didn't he tell me earlier

My head was about to explode thinking about it, so I finally chose to give up. What's the use of knowing it? Anyway, the matter has nothing to do with me, and I can't blame Ji Guanxin. It was me who took the initiative to call him, and he didn't come to find me.

When lunch break was approaching, Han Xuetong knocked on the door and came in to find me. She smiled and said, "Assistant Liang, do you want to have lunch together later?"

Yesterday I had something to eat at noon and half a bag of crispy noodles at night. Until now, I haven't eaten properly. In addition, I just came to the top floor and I must have a good relationship with Han Xuetong and the others, so I didn't even think about it and smiled. Agree: "Okay."

Han Xuetong said: "Then I'll talk to Sister Guan Yue and ask her to book seats for three people."

Not long after Han Xuetong left, I packed up my things and left the office. Not long after, Guan Yue also came out of the office. She looked at me and said, "I made a reservation at Shangdao Restaurant. Do you like Western food?"

I smiled and replied, "I can do either."

Han Xuetong was the last one to come out. The three of us got together and took the elevator downstairs.

Luo's employees all know that the three of us are Luo Xiangdong's assistants. We can be said to be the 'popular people' in front of the boss. People in other companies also heard that I was promoted to the position of Luo Xiangdong's assistant by rocket, and I am the new celebrity. Son. As soon as the three of us appeared, we immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Guan Yue and Han Xuetong have long been accustomed to holding me on their left and right, smiling and chatting with me. I deliberately ignored the different looks around me and tried to be like them, chatting and laughing.

After leaving Luo's Building, the three of us walked towards the underground parking lot. We didn't go far when we heard a slightly familiar male voice behind us, shouting: "Sister."

This sound passed through the noisy sounds around me and poured directly into my ears, causing me to subconsciously stop and turn around to look.

The first thing that caught my eye was the stunning light blue Aston Martin supercar, and the speaker was leaning against the car, smiling and waving to me.

He was dressed in casual clothes, with big sunglasses covering his face, but even so, I recognized him at a glance, Ji Guanxin.

Guan Yue and Han Xuetong have already turned their heads and followed my line of sight.

People like Ji Guanxin, even if they don't drive a sports car, are still the center of attention. At this time, he smiled and waved at me, causing everyone to look at me frequently.

Han Xuetong had sharp eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Isn't this Ji Guanxin, the boss of Xinrui Entertainment?"

I didn’t believe that Han Xuetong recognized him, but Guan Yue didn’t, but she just smiled and said to me, “It’s you.”

This sentence is neither light nor heavy, neither salty nor light, and it feels like a thorn in my back.

Maybe I stood there without reacting at all, while Ji Guanxin opened his long legs and strode towards the three of us.

He slid his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose, revealing his big single eyelids behind his back. He looked at me and said, "I was just about to call you and ask you to come down, but I didn't expect that I bumped into him."

I tried hard to control the expression on my face, neither surprised nor happy, and said calmly: "Why are you here?"

Ji Guanxin said: "I'll pick you up for dinner."

I thought, please, I can't bear this.

Pursing my lower lip, I said, "Sorry, I made an appointment with my colleague."

Ji Guanxin then looked at Guan Yue and Han Xuetong beside me. A smile flashed across his big single eyelids, and then he said: "Isn't this the assistant next to Luo Xiangdong?"

Guan Yue first smiled and nodded, and greeted politely: "Hello Mr. Ji, my name is Guan Yue."

"Hello Mr. Ji, I am Han Xuetong."

Ji Guanxin raised the corners of his lips, and I saw two shallow dimples on his face. He smiled and said, "Are you my sister's current colleagues? That's perfect. I'll invite the three of you to dinner today."

Hearing Ji Guanxin call me sister, a look of surprise flashed through Han Xuetong's eyes, while Guan Yue still smiled and remained calm.

I said, "No, we have made an appointment and the seats have been reserved."

Ji Guanxin didn't think twice and said directly: "Then go to the place where you have reserved a seat."

I was so angry that I almost rolled my eyes. I was about to refuse when I heard Guan Yue say, "If Mr. Ji doesn't mind, we'd be happy to have dinner with you."

Ji Guanxin immediately looked at me as if to show off and said, "Look, your colleagues don't mind, so stop being so annoying."

As he said that, he came over and took my arm, dragging me towards his car.
