Her hands were clenched into fists. If Cheng Yuanying hadn't come, Ren Ying would never have left so easily. She must have been planning this for a long time, and she even went out of her way to steal his computer without fear of Huo Dongheng's reproach.
She made such deliberate plans, but was destroyed by Cheng Yuanying. It is conceivable that her hatred for Qiu Bailu will only deepen, never decrease.
The dishes were served one after another, and the aroma was fragrant. After Cheng Yuanying asked, he enjoyed the delicious food. Qiu Bailu remained silent.
After a while, she spoke. "I know this won't go well, but I want to give it a try. I don't believe that Ren Ying will always make things difficult for me. She is only having trouble with me now because of Huo Dongheng. She will wait until later
Huo Dongheng and I divorced, and when she gets him and is satisfied, she won't bother me anymore."
"How many years will it take? A company will not reach scale after a few years. When you are exhausted by these bad things, I don't believe you will still be interested in running it. In fact, you have other options."
"?" Qiu Bailu was puzzled.
Cheng Yuanying smiled and said, "You can choose to cooperate with me."
"Fangyuan Architecture is no smaller than Qiu's plate. We have signed a lot of contracts this year. If you are willing, I can hire you as Fangyuan's chief designer, and you can pay whatever you want. You can keep the company if you want.
Under Fangyuan, any design work in Fangyuan from now on will be handled by your company, how about it?"
This is undoubtedly a good thing. If there are a hundred small design companies in Binhai, at least ninety of them will agree to Cheng Yuanying's conditions.
But Qiu Bailu thought about it, then shook her head and said, "I don't want it."
Cheng Yuanying was not surprised at all and said calmly, "Give me a reason so that I can die in peace."
"I know the conditions you gave are good, but I don't want to be controlled by others anymore."
"Because our family's company is against the Qiu family? I thought you didn't care about this."
"I don't care. The Qiu family is now in the hands of Huo Dongheng. Even if you fight to the death with him, I don't care. I don't agree, just because I don't want to be used as a gunman again."
She no longer wants to be caught between any two people, doesn't want to be taken advantage of, and doesn't want to hurt herself because of irrelevant people or things.
Even though it would be difficult for her to struggle on her own, she still wanted to try. She had been protected by others for too long and wanted to talk to the world in person.
"In this case, I won't force you." Cheng Yuanying spread his hands with regret, "But remember, if you change your mind one day, please be the first to consider my invitation."
"Okay, I appreciate Mr. Cheng's kindness."
Qiu Bailu felt that she was very lucky. She and Cheng Yuanying had already discussed the most unpleasant part before the food was cold, and then she could enjoy the food with peace of mind.
Although Cheng Yuanying looked like a peach demon, he was actually quite down-to-earth and studied architecture. He and Qiu Bailu had a very good conversation. The two of them were eating and chatting until a loud noise interrupted the conversation.
The door of the box closest to the two people was opened by force, and a woman stumbled out of it. After she came out, a man's indifferent scolding came from the box, "You are so shameless, your skin is so itchy."
Right? Escape? Damn it, if you have the ability to escape to an alien planet, see if I will let you go!"
The woman was really pitiful. Because she fell so hard, she lay on the ground and tried hard for a long time without being able to stand up. Cheng Yuanying couldn't see it and wanted to help, but Qiu Bailu ran over to help the woman up before him.
"Orb!!"
Xiang Baozhu raised his head awkwardly, looked at Qiu Bailu, and immediately saw the distress in her eyes. She quickly covered her swollen cheek with her hands, forcing a smile, "Ah, Xiaolu, no
I thought of meeting you here."
"Didn't you go abroad to get married? When did you come back?" No matter how fast Xiang Baozhu moved, Qiu Bailu could see clearly that there was a clear mark of a slap on her face, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
The culprit who hurt her was sitting peacefully on the seat in the box, his face as cold as ice.
Qiu Bailu knew that person. His surname was Wen, Wen Liangyou or Wen Youliang. He started out as an e-commerce business and has now become one of the most prominent figures in Binhai City. During the economic bubble a few years ago, many people followed suit and played stocks.
Futures ended up being discounted, and Xiang Baozhu's father was one of them. However, this man named Wen suddenly rose up, turned defeat into victory, and became a legend in the stock market.
"I...I have only been back for a few days...Xiao Lu, are you okay?" Xiang Baozhu relied on Qiu Bailu's strength to stand up. Qiu Bailu found that she had lost a lot of weight. She used to be very plump and attractive.
The girl now has a pointed face and a cute jawline.
"I'm fine, but you..." Qiu Bailu glanced at Wen Liangyou. The man looked handsome, but he always gave people a sinister feeling. His whole body exuded an evil aura, and his eyes were slightly raised.
There is always something picky about him. He is not easy to get along with based on his appearance. I don’t know how Xiang Baozhu offended him.
When Xiang Baozhu saw Qiu Bailu going to see Wen Liangyou, she was so frightened that she grabbed her and stopped her, "Xiao Lu, I'm fine, I just didn't stand firm just now. Don't look at him, he... he is a good person
."
Her voice was extremely low and no one should have heard it, but as soon as she finished speaking, Wen Liangyou's face became gloomier.
Wen Liangyou snorted coldly, stood up and left. When Xiang Baozhu was near him, he coughed on purpose. He immediately raised his head to Xiang Baozhu and smiled at him, "Young Master Wen, I'll be here right away. I'll be here right away." Wen Liangyou didn't.
Ignore her and leave.
Xiang Baozhu kept watching him go away, until he turned the corridor and was sure that he could no longer be seen, Qiu Bailu heard her take a long breath, "Xiao Lu,...can you lend me some money?"
"
Qiu Bailu only brought one card with her. There was about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan on the card. She took it out and gave it to Xiang Baozhu.
The jasper bracelet came off, "I don't know when I can pay you back the money, so I used the bracelet to pay off the debt. In fact, the diamond ring is more valuable, but I can't give it to you. If I give it to you, Wen will kill me."
."
As she spoke, she put the bracelet on Qiu Bailu's hand. Qiu Bailu quickly retracted her hand, "Baozhu, I still have money. Although it's not much, it's better than you. Besides, I'm not in a hurry to use money. What are you doing?"
Give me whatever you have. Hurry up and put the bracelet away, don't break it."
This bracelet is probably the last valuable thing that the Xiang family left to Xiang Baozhu. It was given to her by her father on her birthday. Qiu Bailu said she would never ask for this kind of thing. Although she was tricked several times, she still
Believe in the treasure.
Xiang Baozhu held the bracelet and burst into tears. Qiu Bailu held her hand and felt that her hand was cold.
"You said we...what kind of life are we living..."
Xiang Baozhu's voice was choked with sobs, and Qiu Bailu felt uncomfortable. The once proud girls of heaven have now fallen into such an unbearable situation. Once upon a time, they were the objects of admiration and envy for everyone, but now, the humblest happiness of ordinary people has no hope for them.
They are all so far out of reach. In their best years, they experienced the saddest things in the world.
"Stop talking, I, I have to leave quickly, otherwise..." Xiang Baozhu shivered as if she thought of something terrible. She asked for a pen from the waiter and wrote down her mobile phone number.
In the palm of Qiu Bailu's hand, he left a message to contact him when he had time, and left in a hurry.
Xiang Baozhu jogged all the way to the parking lot. She looked left and right but couldn't find Wen Liangyou's car. She called in fear, but found that the phone there had been turned off.
Xiang Baozhu had no choice but to hail a taxi and return to her mother's rented house near the Ring Road. Fortunately, she and Qiu Bailu borrowed some money, otherwise she might have had to walk home.
She returned to China for two weeks and thought she could escape from this man's clutches. Unexpectedly, this fearless resistance made her hide even deeper.
Although Wen Liangyou's surname is Wen, he really has nothing to do with the word Wen. Xiang Baozhu thinks that he should be cold.
She had never seen a more ruthless person than him, and she really couldn't imagine how someone could be so smart and yet so cruel.
Opening the door, Xiang Baozhu was startled. His mother, who was supposed to be resting at home, was not there. Instead, Wen Liangyou was sitting in the middle of the sofa, her long legs resting on the white printed coffee table.
The mud on the soles of his shoes left a few black marks on the printed cloth. He walked towards Baozhu, half-knelt down, and wanted to take off Wen Liangyou's shoes. My mother is the most clean person, and she must not be able to bear such stains.
Wen Liangyou leaned over and grabbed Xiang Baozhu's chin with his hand, "You want me to wait for you? Are you out of your mind? Are you worthy of my waiting?"
His hand was so strong that Xiang Baozhu's face was almost distorted when he pinched it. She endured the pain and said with a smile, "Young Master Wen, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. You don't care about the villain. Don't get along with me."
I care about it, okay?"
Tears were on the verge of falling in Xiang Baozhu's eyes, which looked very annoying. Wen Liangyou wiped them hard with his hand, and Xiang Baozhu's face immediately turned from white to red, "Who do you think you are? I care about you?"
He sneered twice, but he didn't look very angry. Xiang Baozhu dared to press her body close to his chest like a kitten, "Young Master Wen, I didn't mean to run away. It's my mother.
I'm sick, very sick, and I want to come back to see her. I'm afraid that if I come back late, I won't have the chance."
"Shut up! Xiang Baozhu, are you really a pig?! Or do you think I'm as stupid as you?!" I don't know what Xiang Baozhu said that offended Wen Liangyou. He suddenly became furious and grabbed Xiang Baozhu's long hair.
, dragging her up from the sofa. "You are quite good at finding excuses. Your mother is sick? Why doesn't she die?!"
