With Love and Time

Chapter 58: Once bitten, twice shy

Views:

Luo Xiangdong stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly drove away from the entrance of the imperial court.

We were silent all the way until he parked the car in front of the apartment building where I now live.

I unbuckled my seat belt and said, "Thank you, Mr. Luo."

Luo Xiangdong didn't look back and said directly: "No matter what the occasion is from now on, don't drink if you can't avoid it. If you can't avoid it, drink less. If I meet you drinking so much again, you won't have to work at Luo's in the future. "

My heart suddenly went cold. I was already preparing to open the car door and get out of the car. When I heard this, I stopped.

After a few seconds, I couldn't hold back my surprise, so I couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Luo, what do you think of me?"

Actually what I want to say is, what do you think of me

But I was afraid that Luo Xiangdong would directly scold me for being fanciful, so I still left myself a way out.

When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at me in the rearview mirror.

He said, "What do you think?"

I don't like it when others don't answer questions, especially on such ambiguous relationships and topics.

So after a few seconds of silence, I adjusted my breathing secretly in my heart and replied aloud: "Mr. Luo, I don't like hiding things, and I don't have as high an IQ as others, so I'm not good at guessing."

"If you have any opinion about me... please tell me directly."

Luo Xiangdong opened his mouth and said in a calm voice: "I have told you several times, openly and secretly, that if you come to Luo's and want a promotion and salary increase, I can satisfy you with just one word from you, but the prerequisite... you got it."

Sitting in the back seat, in the closed space, my whole body felt hot and dry, and I felt a layer of fine beads of sweat on my forehead.

I didn't answer immediately, so Luo Xiangdong continued: "But since you said you wanted to rely on yourself, I'll treat it as if you refused my invitation. We are all adults, and we must pay attention to mutual love. Since you don't like me , I won’t force you, but I will still take care of you, so no matter if you have any difficulties in the Luo family, you can come to me. "

Luo Xiangdong spoke very straightforwardly this time. Even if I drank a little too much, I could still hear him clearly.

I opened my lips and said, "Thank you very much for Mr. Luo's favor. I know that I am nothing special, and I can't compare with the excellent members of the opposite sex around Mr. Luo. However, I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Luo for his help and care these few times." ”

Luo Xiangdong seemed to make a low hum, and then gave me a series of phone numbers and told me: "Write down my phone number and call me if you need anything."

In order to express my gratitude and politeness, I took out my mobile phone and wrote down Luo Xiangdong's phone number, but I hesitated for a moment at the name, and finally just typed the word "东" in a hurry.

"I got it."

Luo Xiangdong just hummed again.

I said, "Mr. Luo, I'll leave first. Please be careful on the road."

After that, I opened the car door and got out of the car, and because I was nervous, I walked towards the apartment door without looking back.

The car behind me was going faster than me, barely stopping for a moment, and drove away very quickly.

I looked sideways and only had time to see the taillights of the white Porsche.

After Luo Xiangdong left, I dared to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Spending time with him is like fighting a battle, full of hard work.

Fortunately, after many twists and turns, we finally made it clear. I am a person who can't let go of things. If I don't talk about it, I will always be uneasy and worried about what Luo Xiangdong has planned for me.

But then again, while he was having an affair with me, he was in love with Li Yanshu at the same time. It seemed that his relationship with Li Yanshu was still disconnected, but I caught him in the bathroom with Liu Shiqi again...

Thousands of words come together, and I can only use one word to describe Luo Xiangdong: scum.

Once I was bitten by a snake, I was afraid of the rope for ten years. Now when I think about the cheating man, I can't help but feel sick in my heart.

If it weren't for Luo Xiangdong being my immediate boss, I really wouldn't have the time to fool around with him.

In the blink of an eye, it has been fifty days since I came to Luo's. During this period, I have been tortured by all kinds of things, big and small, and I have no time to express my painful experience of being cheated on by both Chen Wenhang and Zhang Xinwei.

Zhang Xinwei and I worked in the same building, but because the building was so tall and big, we never met again after our falling out. I'm very pleased about this.

Some people say that time can make people forget everything, but I feel that only by being busy can people forget everything.

Luo was so busy every day that he hit the back of his head, and he had a history of making mistakes, so he would be more cautious in doing things in the future.

Today, because of a sudden visit from my aunt, I arrived at the translation department at 8:20 in the morning. When I walked to my seat, I saw Wang Huining already here, staring at the computer and reading something.

"Sister Huining, morning."

When Wang Huining heard this, she turned around and said with bright eyes: "Hey, Zijin, have you seen the gossip headlines today?"

I sat down at the seat, took a sip of the milk I just bought on the way, and replied vaguely: "I didn't see it. My aunt came suddenly this morning and made it all over the bed. I came here after washing the sheets, and even I didn’t even have time to look at my phone.”

Wang Huining frowned at first and muttered in disgust: "Who wants to hear about your aunt covering the bed?"

I laughed out loud.

Wang Huining turned the laptop on her desk toward me, then stared with a gossipy look on her face and said, "On the Internet, it is said that Li Yanshu used wine to relieve her sorrows, and squatted on the street and cried. It happened to be photographed by the paparazzi, look."

Hearing this, I slid my chair close to Wang Huining and stared at the computer screen.

Today's gossip headlines are exactly "Lee Yan-soo had an emotional breakdown, drank to drown her sorrows, and squatted on the roadside crying late at night."

Sliding the mouse down, the paparazzi also took pictures, several of which showed Li Yanshu's front face.

There is a scene of her being helped out of a hotel by an assistant; there is a scene of her pointing somewhere, as if she is angry; there is also a scene of her squatting on the side of the road, arms around herself, and everyone around her is at a loss.

I saw that all the comments below were speculating on why Li Yanshu suddenly lost control of her emotions. Eighty percent of the people guessed that she was trapped in love.

A series of scenes emerged in my mind. That night in the bathroom of the imperial court, Luo Xiangdong and Liu Shiqi...

If she really became like this because of Luo Xiangdong...

Wang Huining next to her looked excited and said excitedly: "Didn't we meet Li Yanshu in the mall before? Her gold card was stopped and she couldn't use it, but she didn't even know it. It seemed like she was dumped unilaterally. "Yes, do you think it is directly related to her losing control of her emotions this time?"

I was in a good mood, but now I felt inexplicably depressed.

My lips opened and I said lightly: "I don't know."

Wang Huining must have noticed something strange about me, so she quickly said: "Hey, it's okay, I'm just talking casually, I won't really go online to expose the news or anything."

I also tried my best to raise the corners of my lips and smile slightly, thinking that this matter was over.

But I didn't expect that Li Yanshu lost control and cried on the street, which was just the beginning.

In the days that followed, she dominated the front pages almost continuously.

First, she was injured during the filming process; then, during the interview and recording of the show, netizens exposed the unaired clip. Lee Yeon-soo was asked about her recent relationship status at the scene, and she left the show with red eyes...

In just a few days, the Internet exploded with new revelations almost every day.

First, some media claimed that according to reports from people close to Lee Yan-shu, the reason why she lost control of her emotions was because of emotional injuries.

For a time, everyone from entertainment reporters to the general public began to discuss who Li Yanshu's boyfriend was.

These days, there is no airtight wall.

Someone soon found out that Li Yanshu had used the same card to purchase goods at many luxury stores in the past month. This card was from a bank owned by Luo's, signed Luo Xiangdong, and was his secondary card.

For a time, there were different opinions.

To put it nicely, Li Yanshu's boyfriend is Luo Xiangdong; to put it ugly, Li Yanshu is being kept by Luo Xiangdong.

But no matter what form it is, the man behind Li Yanshu has still surfaced.

In response, Wang Huining came over and said to me seriously: "Zijin, I didn't tell anyone about the online credit card."

I felt helpless and wanted to laugh, so I sighed and replied, "Sister Huining, you don't have to explain it to me, I know it's not you."

Even if Wang Huining knew that Li Yanshu's credit card had been suspended, he would not have guessed that the man behind Li Yanshu was Luo Xiangdong.

Sure enough, Wang Huining changed the topic and said, "But I really didn't expect that Li Yanshu is our second young master's woman."

I didn't answer, and Wang Huining continued: "It's a pity... The second young master's curse of changing his girlfriend within three months has still not been broken."

When I heard this, I frowned subconsciously, and my heart was full of disgust.

Nowadays, the entire Luo family, although they do not want to discuss things openly, secretly they are gossiping about the affairs between Li Yanshu and Luo Xiangdong.

I thought it was just a normal breakup, but with the heated discussion and gossip from many forces on the Internet, some people gradually spread the word that Li Yanshu and Luo Xiangdong broke up, and it was suspected that a third party was involved.

When I saw this report, the first person I thought of was Liu Shiqi.

I checked online and found that Liu Shiqi and Li Yanshu are artists in the same company. I really don’t know what their expressions would be like if they met in the company.

Maybe because I witnessed the tangled romance between several people throughout the whole process, I paid more attention to this matter.

At noon, I went to the restaurant downstairs with Dong Jianan and Wang Huining for dinner. While waiting for the meal, Wang Huining and Dong Jianan gossiped about the Li Yanshu incident, while I looked online to see if there was any latest news.

A few minutes later, when I refreshed my message, the hot search topic on Weibo suddenly became: The third party who intervened between Li Yanshu and Luo Xiangdong was Ms. Q, a senior executive of the Luo Group.

I looked at the long Weibo post below. The original text was written by a 'friend' next to Li Yanshu. According to her, Ms. Q, a senior executive of the Luo Group, used her position to seduce Luo Xiangdong, and even took the initiative to answer Li Yanshu's call to Luo Xiangdong in a hot spring hotel, provoking and verbally suppressing Li Yanshu on the phone. Li Yanshu is not allowed to contact Luo Xiangdong again.

Soon after, Li Yanshu was forced to break up, and she never contacted Luo Xiangdong from beginning to end.

Throughout this long Weibo post, I keenly captured a few words that shocked me: Ms. Q, hot spring hotel...
