Chapter Forty-Nine: Regeneration and Retreat
Next to her stood a man, reporting something to her, and placing an envelope on the coffee table in front of her.
An Ruolin glanced at the envelope, cut off a section of the stem, then inserted it into the vase, put down the scissors, and motioned for the man to stand back.
opened the envelope, the two people in the photo were Wan Yiheng and Chen Xiaoru, An Ruolin looked at the photo and snorted coldly, picked up the scissors on the table, and cut the photo in half, she picked up Chen Xiaoru's half and looked at it carefully, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer.
When the secretary saw An Ruolin, she explained her intentions, An Ruolin always maintained a kind face, prepared Wan Yiheng's clothes, and then handed them to the secretary, and there was also a thermal lunch box by the way.
"Xiao Li, this is breakfast, please help me bring it to him. β
Xiao Li turned out to be in the lunch box, no longer said, turned around and left, these rich daughters and young masters, on the surface, the scenery is dazzling and enviable, but in fact, they are sad and forbearing, only they know best, marriage is just a transaction.
When Wan Yiheng received the lunch box, he wanted Xiao Li to take it and throw it away, but thinking of Chen Xiaoru's attitude towards him last night, he changed his mind again, if An Ruolin always attaches importance to himself like this, even if it is for his family to see, he can also consider maintaining this marriage.
After getting off work at noon that day, Tao Zisu came to find Chen Xiaoru, because she saw her update her mood on the Internet, and knew that she must have encountered something, so when she arrived at Chen Xiaoru's house, she pulled her out and met Xu Yunliang at the door.
"Miss, are you feeling better?" asked Xu Yunliang with a smile.
"It's okay already, do you have something to do?"
"Well, the boss asked me to pick up something for him. Who is this?" Xu Yunliang saw Tao Zisu next to him, and squinted at her slightly, obviously interested in this eye-born beauty.
"My friend, Tao Zisu, Su Su, his name is Xu Yunliang, he beat Wei Shao last time. Chen Xiaoru stared at Xu Yunliang, and her hand was about to wave at him. For his father's group of simple-minded and well-limbed subordinates, she is also speechless, always talking with her fists, what do they think they are, the underworld?
"Oh? sure enough... Heroic. Tao Zisu glanced at Xu Yunliang and had something to say.
"Don't dare to be it, the two young ladies have won the award, and that little thing is not worth mentioning. Xu Yunliang had a modest expression.
"Xu Yunliang, I didn't praise you!" Chen Xiaoru was frantic.
After yelling at Xu Yunliang, Chen Xiaoru pulled Tao Zisu and left, leaving a confused Xu Yunliang messy in the wind, "Hey, a woman is really a strange creature." β
After having lunch with Chen Xiaoru, Tao Zisu rushed back to the store, and Xiaoqing saw her come back and told her that Mrs. Cheng was waiting for her in the lounge inside.
After Xiaoqing was fired, she came back two days later to continue working. She knew that she had made a mistake and was fired, but when she returned, the store manager told her that it was Tao Zisu who asked someone to intercede that gave her the opportunity to come back and work again, so she was grateful to Tao Zisu.
Tao Zisu was a little puzzled when she heard this, but in an instant, she thought that the reason why Mrs. Cheng was looking for her must be related to Cheng Yueze.
Coming to the door of the lounge, she took a few deep breaths to calm down her nervousness, at this time she was in a state of complete preparation, she said to herself, no matter what Mrs. Cheng said, she would not be affected by her, and her determination to be with Cheng Yueze would not waver.
After knocking on the door, without waiting for the response of the people inside, Tao Zisu understood that the other party was deliberate, so after pausing for a few seconds, he opened the door and walked in.
Mrs. Cheng sat on the sofa, and when she saw Tao Zisu, she raised her eyes and looked at it, but she couldn't see any emotion on her face, as if she was just looking at an ornamental piece.
"You are Tao Zisu?" Mrs. Cheng said.
Tao Zisu nodded slightly, "I am, hello Mrs. Cheng!" Her attitude was very respectful.
"Sit down and say, don't be nervous. Mrs. Cheng gestured to Tao Zisu.
Seeing through her thoughts, Tao Zisu felt that she had encountered a powerful enemy, and before this battle had even begun, she had already lost.
But she still pretended to be calm, "May I ask what you are looking for me?" and her tone was still respectful.
"I won't beat around the bush with you, I came here for only one purpose, I hope you can leave Yueze. Mrs. Cheng didn't say much, and directly explained her intentions.
Although Tao Zisu was mentally prepared, when he heard it with his own ears, his breath was still suffocated, and his psychology was a little cramped and uneasy.
Tao Zisu clenched his fists, and then plucked up the courage to look at Mrs. Cheng, "Ze and I really love each other." β
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she glanced at Tao Zisu and put down the coffee in her hand, "Sincerely, do you think sincerity is useful? Your sincerity is worthless to me." β
Tao Zisu felt that she was being treated as a joke at this time, and she was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Cheng was right, it was not a sincere heart between her and Cheng Yueze that could solve all the obstacles.
"As long as I don't say it from him personally, I won't give up. Although her heart has turned over and her original firmness is shaky, she is still neither humble nor arrogant.
"You don't cry when you don't see the coffin? The girl in front of her is nothing more than that, this kind of paragraph, she solved it before Cheng Jingxiu got married.
Tao Zisu fell into a short silence, he was really going to get engaged, but why didn't he know at all.
"Look at you, my youngest son didn't tell you about his engagement?"
Mrs. Cheng clearly captured Tao Zisu's small movements, her guess was correct, obviously, she didn't know anything. It seems that Cheng Yueze wants to resist the engagement to the end.
Tao Zisu told herself that she must believe Cheng Yueze, there must be a reason why he didn't tell herself, she waited for him to explain to herself.
"I know, but he won't get engaged to anyone else, he said that the future home will definitely be with me. She herself was a little surprised to say such a thing, and now she must have looked brazen.
"Haha! I heard what a funny joke, you don't look at your own position, with his identity as the second son of the Cheng Group, how can the marriage matter be up to him. β
Cheng Yueze's marriage is destined to involve a lot, in this circle, the intricate relationship, although she doesn't fully understand, but she still knows some simple truths, the idea that she and Cheng Yueze can go to the end is originally a luxury, which she realized from the moment she knew his identity, at that time she retreated, and found an excuse for her withdrawal that was enough to convince herself, so she planned to leave. It was Cheng Yueze who pulled her back.
But at this moment, she didn't want to lose too embarrassed, and the three words "no" could only be counted when they came out of Cheng Yueze's mouth.
"I trust him, and I won't back down no matter what you say. Tao Zisu looked at Mrs. Cheng's eyes without a trace of dodge, but only she knew how uncertain she was in her heart at this time.
"Okay, since you want to stay by his side, wait for more people to tell you how naΓ―ve your persistence is. After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she got up and walked out of the lounge.
Tao Zisu saw her get up and wanted to leave, stood up, until she heard the sound of the door of the lounge closing, a worried heart fell, the tight strings loosened, she sat down on the sofa again, at this time her heart was like a lake blowing through a gust of wind, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"What should I do?" her heart rose again with a hint of hesitation.
calmed down, she walked out of the lounge silently, everyone was just doing their own thing, Tao Zisu was very happy, they didn't know the reason why Mrs. Cheng came to her.
Back at the counter, Xiaoqing was introducing a piece of jewelry to a customer, and Tao Zisu was standing there fixedly, her thoughts drifting to nowhere.
"Shiso?"
Tao Zisu came back to her senses when she heard the words and looked at Xiaoqing, the customer had already left at some point.
"What?"
"What? I want to ask you, what's wrong? I told you several times and you didn't answer. "When she came out of the lounge, she looked weird.
Tao Zisu pulled out a reluctant smile, "What's the matter, don't guess." β
But you can't blame Xiaoqing for wanting to gossip, everyone must be curious about this, Mrs. Cheng, who is high up, it is difficult for them to see each other, so they actually came to the store to find Tao Zisu, this Tao Zisu originally made everyone curious about her background, according to observation, she is definitely not a simple designer of Cheng's Group.
During the break, Tao Zisu looked at the gossip around her eyes, which made her a little breathless, they had no malicious intentions, but she was too depressed.
Finding the store manager, Tao Zisu asked for leave.
The store manager is a person who has come over, and she is the only one here who knows the relationship between Tao Zisu and Cheng Yueze, and she has probably guessed what Mrs. Cheng came to find Tao Zisu for.
"Go back and rest. The manager didn't say anything superfluous, just patted her on the shoulder.
Tao Zisu saw the store manager's eyes looking at him, the store manager should know about the matter between himself and Cheng Yueze.
When she returned home, she found tools and materials for graffiti and decided to go to the orphanage.
The orphanage is a little far away from where Tao Zisu lives, it took about an hour to arrive, and after saying hello to the director, Tao Zisu came to the place where she graffiti last time with something, and couldn't help but think of Cheng Jingxiu, their graffiti is still there, but it has faded a little.
She wanted to be quiet, but she didn't want to be alone and cranky, so she chose to come here today.
The theme of lavender flowers is always indispensable in her paintings, and she paints each one very seriously.
After finishing the painting, Tao Zisu turned to marry another color, and caught a glimpse of a little boy who appeared behind him at some point.
It was a very beautiful little boy, about five or six years old, Tao Zisu wanted to greet him, but found that the little boy did not look at her, only stared straight at the graffiti on the wall behind her.
"What's your name?" Tao Zisu asked with a smile.
The little boy still ignored Tao Zisu, as if he hadn't heard her.
Tao Zisu guessed that he might not be able to hear the sound, otherwise how could her family be willing to abandon him with such a beautiful child.
The little boy watched for a while, then turned away, and walked past the children who had gathered to play, and then walked far away, and some of the children stopped to look at him after noticing him, and then continued to play.
The little boy caught Tao Shisu's attention.
