Jiang Ruo hung up the phone and looked at the vehicles waiting for the traffic lights on the side.

She was still distracted.

The invisible psychological pressure over the past few days has made her a little unbearable.

Near noon, the sun shone in through the car window, the sun was scorching, and the light reflected on the car body was cold, and there was a sense of desolation for no reason.

She squinted slightly, her eyes gradually empty, and she didn't know that the red light turned green, and she didn't come back from her trance until the car behind her honked its horn to urge.

Seeing that some cars couldn't wait, they had already changed lanes from both sides to bypass her.

She let go of the brakes, refueled her feet, and passed the intersection.

Back at Hualing Mansion, Jiang Ruo drove the car into the underground parking lot, there were no important things in the box brought back from the company, and she didn't usually need it, so she didn't bother to move it, so she only carried her bag upstairs.

After arriving home, Jiang Ruo was not busy changing his clothes first, and just after changing his shoes at the entrance, he took out his mobile phone from his bag and prepared to call Lu Huaishen back.

When she clicked on the call record and was about to call back, her movements suddenly stopped, bit her lower lip, stared at the phone screen for a long time, and after thinking for a while, she prepared the wording before dialing the number.

This time, it was picked up with a sound, and the speed was so fast that Jiang Ruo was a little surprised.

"Hey. ”

Lu Huaishen's voice came from the other end of the earpiece.

Jiang Ruo then raised his feet and walked forward, saying, "I have something to talk about, is it convenient now?"

She called just now, Pei Shao hung up, and replied to her that Lu Huaishen was in a meeting. He has a busy schedule, and Jiang Ruo is afraid that he is doing business.

Lu Huaishen: "You say." ”

Jiang Ruo walked to the room, thought for a moment and said, "Today, Gisele asked me to go to the company, and I wanted to deal with the previous incident, and Miss Du asked me to apologize, I don't know if it was Miss Du or her agency's request." ”

Lu Huaishen didn't say anything.

Jiang Ruo knew that he was listening, and couldn't wait for his response, so she simply continued: "I listened to what Gisele meant, if I don't apologize, Miss Du may find trouble with DS. I didn't provoke her, it was she who deliberately came to trouble me from the beginning, as for the reason, I think it should be you," Jiang Ruo paused, his tone had not fluctuated too much, and he seemed indifferent, "So...... I won't apologize for this. ”

Du Shengyi provoked her in front of her, with unknown intentions, and treated her as a monkey, Jiang Ruo is also an ordinary person, not a virgin who sacrifices her small self to fulfill her big self, even if it is for the company, she will not give up the bottom line of personal dignity to apologize.

Her meaning is already very clear, everything started because of Lu Huaishen, it was caused by the historical legacy of him and Du Shengyi, and it was up to him to solve Du Shengyi's troubles.

Lu Huaishen was silent for a long time, so silent that Jiang Ruo couldn't even hear his subtle breathing, and the atmosphere was suffocating for a while.

After a moment, Lu Huaishen said, "I know." ”

Jiang Ruo nodded, thinking that he was not in front of him and couldn't see it, and then said, "Okay, then I'll hang up." ”

"Is there anything else you want to say?" his voice was very low.

Jiang Ruo walked into the open cloakroom in the master bedroom, put the bag aside, and replied indifferently: "No." ”

Jiang Ruo didn't immediately cut the line after answering.

After a short silence of breathing and breathing, Lu Huaishen hung up.

Jiang Ruo took the phone off his ear and exhaled a long breath. I took off my suit and found a loose top and bottom pajamas from the closet to change into.

It's almost lunch time, I just went to the supermarket yesterday to buy, the fridge was stuffed with things, she rummaged through it, took the shrimp and vegetables out, and prepared to make two light and simple dishes.

When Jiang Ruo was studying abroad, he usually ate by himself, and in the past few months, he has eaten three meals a day with others, either his aunt and brother or Wang Zhao, and more often Lu Huaishen. Even after a few days of adaptation, it was still a little hard to get used to the emptiness across the table.

Jiang Ruo's appetite was still not very good, and in the end, he forced himself to eat all the small bowls of rice.

After eating and resting, Jiang Ruo took out the computer to write an electronic resignation letter and sent it to Gisele, before writing, Jiang Ruo checked his mailbox, there were several replies from the company that received her resume, she had received an interview invitation text message before, Jiang Ruo hurriedly glanced at it, and closed the email.

After careful consideration, she adopted Wang Zhao's suggestion and was not busy looking for a job for the time being. The situation in the belly is not stable, and at her age, she used to get a good salary in DS and her position is good, but now in other companies, in her opinion, it is either bad here or there, and she is used to being more picky than when she was just looking for a job a few months ago.

After eating big fish and meat, I can no longer accept steamed cabbage that can only provide food and clothing.

It sounds like it tells people to go to higher places and water to lower places.

In fact, on the one hand, it is also because Jiang Ruo has no financial worries for the time being, so she can plan calmly, if she is financially tight and has emotional problems with Lu Huaishen, she may consider giving up this child more seriously.

Jiang Ruo leaned on the sofa and stared at the computer for a while, then rubbed his eyes and wrote his resignation. After writing, she closed the computer and went back to the bedroom to remove her makeup and take a nap.

When lying on the bed, Jiang Ruo's heart began to feel inexplicably panicked again, the emptiness of doing nothing was slowly swallowing her, she actually wanted to find something to do for herself, and this state of living in a state of chaos constantly increased her psychological urgency.

Jiang Ruo really slept well in the early stages of pregnancy, and no matter how much she slept, she felt that she couldn't sleep enough, so she naturally woke up when it was dark.

She put her phone on vibrate mode while she was sleeping, and Gisele called her halfway through, but she was too deep to hear it.

Jiang Ruo slowed down, and when he was more sober, he called Gisele back.

When the call came, Gisele left the company, still stuck in traffic on the way home, and when the night was still dark, the city light seemed to be bright, and there was a hazy beauty, she lowered the window to answer the phone, and her face was very ugly.

"Jiang Ruo, may I ask you that you are giving up on yourself? You sent me your resignation and didn't even answer the phone. "I also want to say that she has not agreed to resign!

Jiang Ruo explained: "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, I'm taking a nap, and I didn't hear the phone. ”

Gisele let out a deep sigh, feeling that she was not feeling well, and that she was as strong as a cow today, and her complexion was more ruddy than ever.

"I don't think I saw the resignation, okay?" said Gisele, who even spoke in a tone of inquiry, as she always did.

Jiang Ruo didn't hesitate and said: "I don't want to do things that go against the bottom line of my psychology, but I don't want to cause trouble to the company either." ”

She was silent for a moment, and then said, "G, I appreciate your care during this time. Whether you're using me or not, you've taught me a lot of things. You really don't have to waste time on me because of Lu Huaishen, if his business decisions can be easily shaken because of a woman, he will no longer be Lu Huaishen. I mean, you get the idea, right?"

Gisele sneered after hearing this: "So you think that I don't agree with your resignation, just for this reason? Then it seems that you are not really grateful, so why do you say some high-sounding words to prevaricate me? It is really extremely hypocritical." ”

This was said a little harshly, and Jiang Ruo was speechless for a while.

Gisele didn't wait for her to say anything more, and hung up with a cold snort.

Jiang Ruo was still sitting on the bed, staring at the screen for a while, still putting the phone on the quilt, bending his legs and rubbing his hair, because Gisele's words were not very comfortable.

Jiang Zuo always thought that Gisele had never been sincere to herself, in fact, if Gisele simply hated her, but felt that she was useful, she could not have given her any valuable job opportunities, and it would be easier to treat her as an ornament.

Xu Qiumei's work has just been finalized, and she has found a house and is ready to move out, Jiang Ruo got dressed and got up, ready to go to Jinshang Nanyuan to have a look.

When she arrived at home, Xu Qiumei was not there, and Qiao Hui said that she went to the furniture supermarket near the rental office early in the morning to put things in the back of her new home.

Therefore, it's not that I don't have money, it's just that when I can be cheap, I don't want to spend my own money.

When Jiang Ruo came, she was thinking about how to tell Qiao Hui about her work, and gave her a preventive shot during dinner, saying that she wanted to change jobs.

Qiao Hui didn't ask much, just said that he just decided by himself, and after eating two chopsticks, he asked, "Did you find a new job?"

Jiang Ruo said: "I am submitting my resume, and I am not satisfied for the time being. If you don't find it, wait a little longer, don't rush. ”

It's a different time and a different way of living. If it had been a few months ago, Qiao Hui would have been worried. But now that Jiang Ruo has taken back the shares, and Lu Huaishen has it, there is naturally no need to rush.

Jiang Ruo left before Xu Qiumei came back, and on the way back, Jiang Ruo received a call from He Zongming.

"Hey?" Jiang Ruo turned on the speakerphone, and vaguely guessed in his heart who He Zongming had to do with the sudden call to her.

He Zongming was polite to her at first: "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it. Jiang Ruo said.

At the end of summer, Jiang Ruo did not turn on the air conditioner, but put down the general car window, and let the comfortable night breeze pour into the car, and at the same time, the sound of the car was brought in.

He Zongming asked, "Are you outside?"

"Yes, I just left from my aunt. After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, he asked, "Do you have anything to do?"

"Is it inconvenient for you to meet with me?" He Zongming seemed to want to speak and stopped, but Jiang Ruo didn't react, so he added: "I want to tell you about Lu Huaishen." ”

Jiang Ruo hesitated for a moment: "Can you say it's okay on the phone?"

He Zongming pinched Jiang Ruo and was curious about the "thing" he wanted to say, so he continued to pretend to be embarrassed and said, "Hey, isn't it unclear on the phone for a while?"

Jiang Ruo didn't speak for a long time.

He Zongming said: "I know that there is something wrong with the two of you recently, I don't fully understand what happened to him before, but I also know a little bit about it, I roughly know what the reason for your conflict, he is a serious person, and he doesn't like to mention some unpleasant things before, if you have anything you want to ask, I can tell you." ”

Jiang Ruo felt that He Zongming's concern for Lu Huaishen was not ordinary, so she asked thoughtlessly: "Are you secretly in love with Lu Huaishen?"

"Holy?"

He Zongming was caught off guard and burst out with a questioning swear word.

He promised earnestly: "Sister, even if I like men, I will like obedient and obedient little white faces, okay?"

Jiang Ruo nodded, "Hmm." ”

"What do you mean?" He Zongming smiled and reported the name of a hall: "Please drink something, this place is clean, private is high, garden style, don't worry about the mix." ”

Jiang Ruo pursed his lips: "Okay." ”

"When you report my name, someone will bring you in. ”

More than half an hour later, Jiang Ruo went to the Suzhou garden-style hall and reported He Zongming's name to the hall, and the staff sent someone to drive a small sightseeing car in the hall to see He Zongming.

The hall covers a wide area, with small bridges and flowing water, and even artificial lakes and artificial islands, and there will be no shortage of flowing water in the corridor, and the leisure and entertainment and residential areas are far away, and the residential areas are divided into different categories.

In the end, Jiang Ruo arrived in front of a small building, and the staff took her in.

Facts have proved that it is better to believe that there are ghosts in the world than to believe in He Zongming's stinky mouth.

He Zongming bluffed people second in the world, and no one should dare to admit the first anymore.

Listening to his true feelings on the phone, Jiang Ruo actually believed it.

And now, when I opened the door, I saw He Zongming and a few men around a table, giggling and talking about meat jokes, and several men laughed and scolded when they heard it.

Only Lu Huaishen sat aside and hooked his lower lip lightly, unable to raise his interest.

Jiang Ruo wanted to turn around and leave, but before he could take a step, Lu Huaishen raised his head and had already seen her.

I was about to put the cigarette in my hand into my mouth, but when I saw her, my hand stopped. While staring at her intently, he rubbed the cigarette butt with his fingertips, and then pressed the cigarette that he had only smoked twice into the ashtray without hesitation.

He Zongming saw Lu Huaishen looking at the door, thinking of something, and looked back, only to find Jiang Ruo.

"Yo, here, come in and sit. He Zongming was warm and welcoming, he didn't feel weak at all, and his face was very thick.

Jiang Ruo glanced at He Zongming silently with his remaining eyes.

Seeing a woman come in, the men gentlemanly extinguished their cigarettes.

Lu Huaishen got up, came over and pulled her to the position next to him, there were so many people, Jiang Ruo didn't want him to lose face, and he couldn't do such a thing as throwing his face and leaving, so he sat down with him.

Except for Hua Qing, they are all friends who have known each other for many years, and they also know about them.

Lu Huaishen introduced Hua Qing and the other two Jiang Ruo to her that he had never seen, and then put his hand between her waist and the back of the chair, hugged her, and introduced to the others: "Jiang Ruo, my wife." ”

As soon as Lu Huaishen walked into her, Jiang Ruo noticed that he had drunk a lot, and he smelled of cigarettes and alcohol on his body, especially the smell of alcohol, and his tone was still clear and calm when he spoke.

And when he saw him, his eyes flashed with surprise, obviously, Lu Huaishen didn't know that he was back.

tricking her into coming over is likely to be He Zongming's idea alone.

Suddenly, there were more women, and the men were much more restrained, and they didn't speak as recklessly as before.

Lu Huaishen asked Jiang Ruo: "Have you finished eating?"

Jiang Ruo sat with his back straight, and glanced at him when he heard the words, "Well, I ate." ”

He no longer continued to throw up topics for her to speak, but drank silently without a glass, and rarely talked to others, and was very silent.

Jiang Ruo gradually couldn't sit still.
