Chapter 9: Aggravated Hostility
Located in the prime location of the city center, the thunder building, in the high-ceilinged bright and elegant lobby, from time to time there are serious faces of elite men and women passing through. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dressed in a Chanel suit, Schumansie walked into the lobby with a bag in her hand, greeted respectfully at the front desk with exquisite makeup, and walked towards the elevator on the side.
As soon as she took two steps, there was a low call behind her, she stopped and turned her head to look, and saw Chen Shao with an anxious face walking hurriedly.
He rubbed his hands, his face full of flattering and humble smiles: "Sister Manxue, are you going to see Mr. Lei?" Can you help me plead for mercy? I really drank too much that night, so I collided with Mr. Lei and the young lady. Please, just let him see me. ”
Glancing at him lightly, Shu Manxue turned around and was about to leave, Chen Shao hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and then withdrew his hand under her displeased look.
Ning Mei looked at him with a dejected look of request, although she was impatient, but because of the friendship between the two mothers, she still promised to open her mouth to try.
Chen Shaoru breathed a sigh of relief: "With the relationship between the two of you, it must be no problem if you are willing to speak." ”
Hearing this, Shu Manxue, who walked into the elevator, raised her eyebrows lightly, with a confident smile on her soft face.
During the lunch break, the huge penthouse seemed a little empty.
Shu Manxue walked into the special assistance room, waved his hand to prevent Assistant Yu from informing, knocked on the door directly and pushed open the door of the president's room, and after searching his eyes, he saw a man at the conference table on the left.
She approached slowly, a happy smile on her face, a slight stiffness at the sight of the familiar logo of the cake box on the table, and a look of displeasure in her eyes.
Lei Ziqian was eating the cake brought by Bei Minghui, who came to the company to report in the morning, when he heard the footsteps and looked up, he buried his head again after seeing that it was her, and ate the last bite of the cake left, then wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and leaned lightly on the back of the chair, looking lazy and satisfied.
Shu Manxue, who sat next to him, put the bag in his hand on the table, took out the exquisite box inside and opened it, and a piece of cake with a delicate shape and a delicious look appeared in front of him.
She picked up the fork and handed it to the man: "Brother Ziqian, this is a new product made by the hotel's pastry chef today, I specially brought it to you to taste." ”
The black eyes glanced at her lightly, and Lei Ziqian pushed her hand away: "No, I'm full." ”
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the desk, spread out the papers on the table, and continued the unfinished work.
The smile on his face froze, and the anticipation in Schumann's eyes was extinguished little by little. She bit her lip, unwilling to accept his cold attitude as always, but there was nothing she could do.
After reviewing a document, Lei Ziqian raised his head, glanced at the woman who walked to the desk, and frowned slightly: "Anything else?" ”
Shu Manxue nodded, simply conveyed Chen Shao's request, and looked at the man's increasingly heavy face, she pursed her lips: "You also know that my mother and Aunt Chen are classmates and friends, I can't refute his face, so you can meet him." ”
Condensed a handsome face, Lei Ziqian's eyes were full of displeasure: "What I hate the most is that there is no distinction between public and private." ”
His tone was cold, Shu Manxue's face stiffened slightly, and the accumulated dissatisfaction in her heart made her raise her voice: "It's you who don't distinguish between public and private!" He just got drunk and accidentally molested Miss Pei, and he didn't cause much fault, why don't you just refuse to keep any affection? ”
The anger in the black eyes flashed suddenly: "You'd better not interfere in my affairs and get out." ”
The man's angry appearance made Shu Manxue's face pale, and he wanted to open his mouth to show weakness, but when he lowered his head and ignored her, he could only close it sneeringly.
She turned around with a cold face, and when the corner of her eye caught sight of the empty cake box placed on the conference table, she turned to deep hostility and jealousy.

The warm sun shines brightly, the breeze sweeps through the faces of the passers-by on the streets, and the sunny weather on the weekend attracts everyone to go out and stroll.
In the small cake shop, the sweet aroma of cakes wafted indoors, and there were many customers sitting in the store, Pei Xiaorou had a slight sweat on her forehead, and she had just cleaned up an empty table, and in a blink of an eye, another guest sat down.
Although she was busy, she always had a smile on her face, and she turned around and was about to walk back to the counter when a low groan suddenly came from the side, and she turned her head to look.
There was a mother and daughter sitting at the table, the woman in her twenties was pale, frowned, bit her lower lip, covered her stomach with her hands, and whispered in pain.
Seeing her daughter like this, the mother next to her was so anxious that she asked what was wrong, and the woman shook her head, but kept saying that her stomach hurt.
The sudden commotion made all the customers in the store turn their heads to look over, Pei Xiaorou walked quickly to the woman's side, gently supported her shoulder with one hand, and her eyes were full of worry: "Does it hurt badly?" ”
Cold sweat broke out on the woman's forehead, she nodded, and her mother on the side blushed: "It was fine just now, why did you suddenly have a stomachache?" ”
As she spoke, her eyes focused on the remaining small piece of cake on the table, suddenly turned her head to glare at Bei Xiaorou, stood up and violently waved away the hand she was holding the woman, and said angrily: "There must be something wrong with your cake!" ”
The woman's baseless accusation made Pei Xiaorou a little stunned, and the onlookers in the store turned their heads and ears one after another because of this sentence, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Bei Xiaorou frowned, and looked at the woman calmly: "This lady, you can't talk nonsense without evidence, what is going on will not be known until after the inspection." The most important thing now is to take your daughter to the hospital first. ”
"I don't need you to remind you!" The woman seemed to think that it was the cake, and spoke to her in a tone full of resentment: "You have to come with me!" ”
As he spoke, he bent over to help his daughter, whose face was even paler, but turned his head to see Bei Xiaorou standing still, and sneered: "What's the matter, my heart is weak, I don't dare to go?" ”
The woman who was standing softly against her mother snorted again at this time, and pulled her mother's sleeve weakly with one hand, and her face turned even paler.
The woman, who was still waiting for Bei Xiaorou to go with her, panicked at the moment and hurriedly hugged her daughter and walked out.
Bei Xiaorou hurriedly followed behind the two and stopped a taxi for them, the woman took the woman into the back seat, and glared at Bei Xiaorou fiercely before closing the car door: "You wait, I will come to you again!" ”
Looking at the figure of the taxi leaving, Bei Xiaorou frowned and sighed lightly, turned around and walked back to the store.
As soon as she stepped into the store, she saw that the customers were all looking at her with inquiring eyes, Bei Xiaorou blinked her eyes and looked around at everyone: "Everyone, please rest assured, I promise you that there will be no problem with my food." ”
Although the guests still have some concerns, they don't know what is going on, and of course they don't believe it, but they still have some pimples in their hearts. A few of the customers were the first to get up and leave the store, and the other customers also left.
Bei Xiaorou stood in place, frowning at the guests who left one after another, and did not say anything to stay, but her heart sank slightly. The store, which used to be bustling with activity, is now empty.
