Gong Yue walked to the big table in the conference room, nodded to everyone present and said, "I am Bai Lu's bridesmaid. You may have seen me at her wedding. In fact, I am also Bai Lu's best friend. Over the years, I
I have been keeping this secret for her because I am worried that if her condition is known to others, others will misunderstand her. Although her mental condition is not good, it is not harmful to people, but it is simple to her.
Management work will also give her a headache. I have been taking care of our gallery for so long, and she has never managed it. I don't know how she should manage someone like Qiu who can't even manage a small gallery.
Such a big company..."
Gongyue... Qiu Bailu groaned in her heart.
This is her best friend. She and Gongyue have known each other for five or six years. Gongyue first worked as a part-time worker in a restaurant. When Qiu Bailu went to dine, she saw that she was being made difficult by the customers. She was a novice and could not serve food well.
Qiu Bailu couldn't stand it, so she broke the plate and splashed juice on the guests' shoes. They forced her to kneel on the ground and wipe the shoes clean. Qiu Bailu couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped in for Gong Yue.
Later, in order to thank her, Gongyue often went to talk to her. After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other. Gongyue had good academic performance, but her family was poor. Qiu Bailu applied for the student loan for her to study in college. Qiu Bailu helped her.
Bai Lu has always regarded her as a confidant, telling her anything she has to say. She is not worried at all when the gallery is left in Gong Yue's hands. Gong Yue said that the gallery was losing money, which was a loss, and she didn't even check the accounts.
"Am I not good to you? Have I done anything sorry for you? How could you treat me like this? Gongyue, how could you...I treat you as a friend...but you..." She gave her sincere heart.
Others are trampled under their feet.
Gong Yue looked at Qiu Bailu. The expression on her face was very unnatural. She opened her mouth and suddenly felt a sharp gaze piercing her. She saw Huo Dongheng staring at her and wanted to say something.
I also swallowed the words.
"I...we are friends...but I can't hide it for you just because you are my friend. After all, it is such a big deal..."
"That's enough! Stop talking!!" Qiu Bailu slapped the table hard, holding on to prevent herself from falling. She told herself that she must not show weakness. If she showed weakness to him now, she would be in front of them forever in her life.
Without looking up, she told herself not to cry, but the tears couldn't stop falling.
Her husband hurt her, her friends betrayed her, and she had never felt that she had failed as a human being. Now she stood in front of these people, and every word and sentence uttered from their mouths was like a sharp knife.
It flashed across her heart, her heart had already been injured by them and was dripping with blood, and there was no good place to eat it, but they still refused to let her go!
They wanted her to die before they were willing to do it!
"Miss Qiu can't stand this? Are you not acting? Who doesn't know that Miss Qiu was a cheerful and outgoing person before marriage, otherwise people wouldn't have taken this group of photos." Ren Ying took advantage of the opportunity and took another stack of photos.
Throwing them on the table, Huo Dongheng's face instantly darkened when he saw those photos.
"Even those Shanghai-style ladies have never been so bold with such a bold style. If outsiders find out, I'm afraid that Qiu's architecture's status in the hearts of the people will plummet."
Qiu Bailu didn't need to look to know what it was. Normally, she would have felt ashamed, but now, she was numb from the pain, and these things could not hurt her in the slightest.
She no longer cares how other people look at her with strange eyes, or how those elders who originally supported her look at her now. She only stares at Huo Dongheng, her tears blurring her vision, making it harder for her to see this person clearly.
In fact, she had never seen him clearly. She thought she understood him. In fact, that was what he deliberately made her think.
From beginning to end, she had never entered his heart, let alone understood his heart.
"You really want this company? Are you so eager to force me out?" Qiu Bailu said softly. Huo Dongheng was on pins and needles when she looked at him like that.
He replied calmly, "Xiaolu, we are husband and wife. Of course I don't want to force you. I just do it for the good of the company. I don't want to make it difficult for you, and you don't want to make it difficult for me."
"Haha... Now that things have happened, you still say that. You don't want to force me..." Qiu Bailu smiled, swaying and almost falling.
Thanks to Qin Zhen's support behind her, "What do you have to say to this beast? If he wants the company, let him show his real skills and hire a good lawyer. We'll see you in the court!"
If Qiu Bailu hadn't stopped him, Qin Zhen would have gone up to give Huo Dongheng some color. But now seeing that Qiu Bailu was bullied so miserably by them, and they didn't leave any way for her to survive, Qin Zhen couldn't bear it anymore.
He pulled Qiu Bailu and walked out, not wanting to embarrass her any more. As soon as he moved, Huo Dongheng's people were already prepared, and several of them stepped forward and blocked Qin Zhen.
"This is not the Qin family, and it's not your turn to act wild! Come and see the guests off!" Huo Dongheng ordered in a deep voice. Those people all took action to catch Qin Zhen and throw him out, but they overestimated their own strength.
, several people went up together and just tied with Qin Zhen.
The desk was overturned by someone unknown, folders flew everywhere, and the scene was in chaos. Qiu Bailu had a splitting headache. She staggered away from everyone and rushed out.
There was a voice calling her name from behind, but she couldn't hear it.
Her chest hurt as if it was going to explode, and every breath she took was a torture. She ran straight to the elevator and pressed the buttons desperately. She didn't want to stay in this terrible place for a moment longer!
Qiu's building has dozens of floors, and the elevators are always overcrowded every day during working hours. Qiu Bailu waited for more than ten minutes, but the elevator refused to come up. Qiu Bailu couldn't bear it anymore and turned around to the stairs.
As soon as she opened the door to the safe passage, her arm was grabbed by someone. Qiu Bailu turned her head, and her heart suddenly became cold.
"Huo Dongheng, what do you want? Make me lose face in front of so many people, make those elders never support me again, make all my colleagues in the company laugh at me, are you satisfied now? Are you happy?
What else are you dissatisfied with?" Qiu Bailu's sharp voice echoed in the empty stairwell, making people's eardrums ache.
Huo Dongheng's expression did not change, and he held her hand extra hard, "You have known what I want for a long time, Bai Lu, as long as you give me what I want, I guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"Do you think I'm a pig? As long as I have food to eat and clothes to cover my body, I will be satisfied? Huo Dongheng, I do know what you want, but do you know what I want?! I'm fucking blind
, will marry you! Don’t think that I will give up the Qiu family because you have made me suffer a big loss today, I! Never! No!” This was the first time in Qiu Bailu’s life that she had cursed, but she felt
It was so pleasurable. If she hadn't been so weak now that it was difficult to even stand, she would have given Huo Dongheng a few hard blows!
