Chapter 91: Arrogance
Zhou Ling put down his phone, and a kind of tiredness that he had never felt before came overwhelmingly.
She stared blankly out the window at the endless night, the tall buildings in the distance flashing with beautiful neon lights.
On the road, there is a lot of traffic, and the street lights on both sides are connected in a line, extending into the distance.
I have to admit that the city has its own unique charm that attracts countless young people.
Apart from her, how many people are adrift in this strange city?
She used to think that among these people, she was not too much of a failure.
But the facts slapped her hard, and no matter how expensive luxury goods were, they couldn't hide her embarrassment.
What is the point of her persistence?
For the first time, Zhou Ling had deep doubts about his future and had thoughts of leaving the city.
She didn't see the distress and self-blame flashing in Rong Zheng's eyes.
At some point, Rong Zheng quietly left the room and closed the door for her softly.
He knew that Zhou Ling at this time didn't want to be disturbed.
It's just that Rong Zheng didn't feel good in his heart, he sat on the sofa, looking at the ornaments on the table and was silent.
The next day, Joanya's urging call came early.
Zhou Ling rubbed his eyebrows, only feeling sore.
Yesterday, she sat like this until the early hours of the morning unconsciously, and then she actually sat directly on the head of the bed and fell asleep.
In a daze, she seemed to hear the door open, and then a pair of strong arms carefully laid her flat on the bed.
There is a faint fragrance on his body, and this fragrance is very familiar to Zhou Ling.
Who else could there be besides Rong Zheng?
This man is always like this, his heart is full of thoughts, and he never talks about it to others.
Even so, after sitting for so much of the night, Zhou Ling's waist almost couldn't straighten up, and even the joints in his body ached.
If it weren't for Qiao Anya's call in the morning, I'm afraid she would have been able to sleep until noon.
She was so tired that she hadn't had a good rest for two days in a row.
When he walked out of the living room after washing, Zhou Ling glanced at Rong Zheng, who was still lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.
His eyes were quietly closed, his long, curly eyelashes casting a shadow under them. I don't know what kind of dream he had, but at the moment he pursed his lips tightly, and he slept very unsteadily.
The handsome face was crawling abruptly with sinuous and ugly scars, on the arms, on the back, shocking.
The scars looked too out of place, like something someone else had imposed on them through pranks. But it is a maggot on the tarsal bone, which cannot be removed for a lifetime.
If these scars were on her body, Zhou Ling was very sure that she couldn't be as calm as Rong Zheng, and she would collapse.
How important is appearance for a working woman?
Although this is too superficial to say, sadly, it is true.
But Rong Zheng helped her block it, and she still remembers that scene.
Just when she was extremely desperate, Rong Zheng rushed in front of her like a god, blocking all the pain for her.
She stretched out her hand and carefully touched the scar on Rong Zheng's face, the warm touch made her hand tremble, but she couldn't bear to touch it anymore.
She turned her head, her eyes slightly hot.
As if thinking of something, Zhou Ling took a post-it note and left a message for Rong Zheng.
The hotel chosen by Joanya is the most famous in the city.
Splendid and ornate building, with two uniformed waiters standing in the revolving glass doorway.
Seeing Zhou Ling come down, he bowed slightly and made a welcoming gesture, "Welcome." ”
"Boom-"
Suddenly, there was a roar of a sports car, and Zhou Ling recognized that this was He Shuo's sports car.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw Bai Xiao holding He Shuo's arm and coming down.
Bai Xiao was a lot haggard, even if he wore a thick base makeup on his face, he couldn't hide it.
After seeing Zhou Ling, Bai Xiao's face sank, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he was gently touched by He Shuo just as he wanted to open his mouth to sarcastically mock her.
She glared at Zhou Ling angrily, and then took He Shuo's arm and entered the hotel as if no one was around.
Zhou Ling laughed mockingly, this is her attitude of apologizing today?
She wants to see how Bai Xiao, who has always been arrogant, will apologize today!
In the box of the hotel, Qiao Anya and others were already seated, and there was only one seat left by the door.
And these people still talked and laughed as if they didn't see her, as if this drinking party was a family party in their family.
She sat in the only seat with a calm face, and did not take the initiative to say hello, but slowly poured herself a cup of tea.
In the end, these people couldn't talk anymore, so Qiao Anya spoke, "Oh, Zhou Ling, you're here, today's drinking party is specially prepared for you and Bai Xiao." ”
Zhou Ling raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiao Anya lightly, right? How could she feel that this wine party had nothing to do with her?
"Thank you, Mr. Joe, for taking the time. ”
The personal grievances of the two people, Qiao Anya can come forward to settle in the name of the company, which is really bothersome.
"Shouldn't I bother to say this? You and Bai Xiao are my right-hand men, the two backbones of our company. Of course, I'm going to pay more attention. ”
"Who's going to have anything to do with her. Bai Xiao instinctively sneered.
Everyone looked at Zhou Ling's face quietly, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing.
Qiao Anya hurriedly snorted and eased, "Oh, look at it, these dishes have been ordered, everyone eat them quickly! Zhou Ling, you also eat more, it's not good if it's cold." ”
Although Qiao Anya had a smile on her face, she scolded Bai Xiao as a fool in her heart!
She presided over this drinking party, for what? Not for Bai Xiao?
Zhou Ling said that the condition for withdrawing the lawsuit is that in addition to compensation, Bai Xiao must apologize in person!
She was willing to completely give up the right to sue, where did she think that Bai Xiao would be so arrogant at this time.
"Mr. Qiao is right, everyone should not be so restrained, they should eat and drink. He Shuo also hurriedly came out to relieve the siege.
Everyone was secretly paying attention to Zhou Ling's face, but they found that she was not uncomfortable at all sitting there alone like no one.
On the contrary, Bai Xiao was even more angry when she looked at Zhou Ling, if He Shuo hadn't warned her in the car just now, she really wanted to slap Zhou Ling.
After eating a bowl of rice, Zhou Ling gently put down his chopsticks, took them out and wiped his lips, and then raised his eyes to look at Bai Xiao, "I'm done eating, what about apologies?"
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Zhou Ling to suddenly say this.
Didn't Qiao Anya explain it to Zhou Ling? Or did she not understand the meaning of this drinking party?
Just tell her that the meaning is enough, and this matter should not be pursued again, so what is the apology?
