"Madam, Mr. Zhang is here next door." The servant came and knocked on the door.

I closed the computer and said faintly, "No." ”

"However, Mr. Zhang seems to have something very important to tell his wife." The servant's face was full of unease.

I frowned, "Then let him wait." ”

The servant opened his mouth, glanced at the sky outside, lowered his eyes and did not dare to squeak.

I knew what she meant, it was dark outside, and it was about to rain.

The tempest in City A always comes as it is said.

Soon, accompanied by a burst of thunder and lightning, a torrential downpour poured down.

I tried to concentrate on my work, but the maid's words kept flashing in my head, and I wondered if he was still waiting outside.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, I lifted the curtain and unexpectedly saw a man standing in the rain.

He was still waiting.

My heart moved, and I rushed into the rain with an umbrella and stared at him coldly.

"Why aren't you leaving?"

The rain slowly flowed down his handsome eyebrows, and his face was pale, but his expression was persistent and serious.

"I just want to explain to you, the woman you just saw at my house is Xiaoyun's best friend, this time I came to City A to play, Xiaoyun asked me to take good care of her, other than that, the relationship between me and her is not the kind of relationship you think at all."

"You don't have to explain this to me, I don't care." I lowered my eyes and replied lightly.

He looked at me in disbelief, "Don't you still understand my mind?" I like you, Moran, I like you more than anyone else. ”

In the heavy rain, he confessed to me loudly, his resolute eyebrows and eyes full of longing, eager to see a little bit of love on my face.

I pursed my lips, holding back the moisture in my eyes, trying my best to look cold and ruthless, "You give up, I can't forget Tianqi." ”

He took a step forward and stood in front of me, his expression grim.

"I don't ask you to forget him, as long as you can let me take care of you, I'm satisfied."

"Zhang Yuanjun, are you stupid? Do you have to put yourself in this unfair situation? I muttered.

He hugged me hard, lowered his head and whispered in my ear, "Mo Ran, since the first time I saw you, I have always wanted to stay by your side, take care of you silently, give me this opportunity, okay?" ”

It seemed that no woman could refuse a black knight who had stayed by her side for a long time, and I slowly closed my eyes and let him hold me, and a voice in my heart screamed silently.

Promise him, Jiang Moran, you are already at the end of the crossbow, in fact, you are already tired, aren't you?

"Okay, I promise you." I heard my voice drowned out by the wind and rain.

Zhang Yuanjun was ecstatic and couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout out.

The days with Zhang Yuanjun don't seem to be special compared to before, the only difference is that the driver used to pick me up from work, and now, he always insists on picking me up in person.

We are like two mature and sensible adults, going with the flow of each other's slowly progressing relationships until the party of Marbour.

Zhang Yuanjun, as my male companion, accompanied me to attend.

I wore a silver-white suspender dress, white lace-up stiletto heels, and a light and elegant makeup, holding his hand and appearing at the party.

Wan Bao'er has exquisite makeup, flaming red lips, and a black fluffy gauze short skirt, which is punk and gorgeous, and looks particularly aggressive.

Seeing the man next to me, Wan Bao'er's eyes lit up, and she leaned over and said with a smile, "Sister Moran, I didn't expect your boyfriend to be so elegant and handsome."

Angry, I think that Lu Qingming still dares to covet you! ”

I laughed out loud, raised my hand and hooked her nose, "What nonsense are you talking about, if Qingming sees you so beautiful today, I will definitely be fascinated by you." ”

Wan Bao'er lowered her head shyly, and suddenly heard the little sister on the side say that Lu Qingming was coming, and she immediately greeted her with a nervous smile.

Lu Qingming didn't come alone, he also brought Jerry, he coldly exchanged a few words with Wan Bao'er, and then walked towards me.

"Mo Ran, you're dressed beautifully today." He stared at me and said.

Lu Qingming suddenly became so serious, I was a little unaccustomed to it, I grinned, waved Jerry to come over, and brought them a few glasses of wine.

"Although today is a banquet set up by Bao'er, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I would like to introduce you to a few of your friends here, the man next to me, Zhang Yuanjun."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and bowed his head with them, "Thank you for taking care of Mo Ran." ”

Jerry screamed, "Mo Ran, you got a boyfriend?" ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, and whispered to him "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ”

Jerry glanced at Lu Qingming with strange eyes, lowered his voice and muttered, "It's really pitiful......"

"What did you say?" I didn't hear clearly, so I couldn't help but ask again.

Jerry shook his head, pulled Zhang Yuanjun aside to discuss the aesthetics of oil painting, Lu Qingming paused, and suddenly said softly, "I thought you wouldn't easily date men, I thought you couldn't forget Tang Tianqi." ”

My heart throbbed slightly, and the smile on my face did not change, "People always look forward, don't they?" ”

Under his fine bangs, a pair of eyes flashed confused, "So, why is that person him?" If you really want to look forward that way, can't I? ”

I was stunned, what the hell was he talking nonsense?

"Lu Qingming, you're drunk." I reminded you out loud.

He raised his head and poured down a glass of wine, and curled the corners of his lips mockingly, "Jiang Moran, don't you have a heart?" Do you think that over the years, what has supported me to wait for you, and what has supported me to stand behind you again and again, carrying the company for you? Money? Power? I have it all, but I want more than that. ”

I took a step back and distanced myself from him who was excited, no, this is not the Lu Qingming I know.

He is humble, unobtrusive, humorous, my best friend and my most solid partner. There is only no emotional entanglement between us.

"All the while, I've always treated you as my best friend......"

"Is there really such a thing as a friend between a man and a woman?" He grabbed me by the arms and muttered.

The smell of gin came from him, and I tried to push him away, but accidentally bumped into the snack table behind me.

"Be careful!" Zhang Yuanjun caught a glimpse of it, rushed over in time, and stretched out his hand to hug me.

He stared at Lu Qingming coldly, blocking me behind him.

"Mr. Lu, you have lost your temper."

Lu Qingming squinted his eyes and looked at him, and sneered, "What are you?" How long have you known her? ”

The guests around felt the movement and gathered around, and even Wan Baoer appeared in surprise and looked at us suspiciously.

I took a deep breath and didn't want this party to be messed up because of me, so I pulled Zhang Yuanjun to leave.

"Jiang Moran!" Behind him, Lu Qingming gritted his teeth and asked me, "Do you have no heart?" Ask yourself how much I've done for you over the years! ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Wan Bao'er looked at everything in front of her in shock, and her little face turned pale.

I bit my lip, held Zhang Yuanjun's hand tightly, relied on the support of his body, and walked out of the villa quickly.

"Don't worry, he might just be drunk." Zhang Yuanjun patted me on the shoulder and comforted me softly.

I grabbed the railing with both hands, and suddenly I was a little dazed.

"Yuanjun, I want to be alone, you go back first, okay?"

There was the sound of footsteps fading away behind me, and when he left, my shoulders collapsed, and I sat alone by the river, looking at the wrinkled waves in the sun, but what I was thinking about was Tang Tianqi.

"Tianqi, I miss you so much, if you are here, will I not have to face this?" I said to myself.

I don't know how long it took, when the sun set, I wrapped my clothes tightly and turned around to walk back, but under a willow tree, I saw Zhang Yuanjun standing.

I don't know how long he had been standing there, his shoulders covered in flying catkins.

"I'll send you back." He smiled silently.

I walked up to him, looked up and asked, "You're really going to protect me like this forever, right?" ”

He raised his hand solemnly, "I swear." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, "Brother Yuanjun, thank you." ”

He hugged me gently, just like before, Tang Tianqi's embrace.

When I got home, there was a man with a deep brow standing under the street lamp, and when I looked closer, I realized that it was Ma Chuanxiong.

"Chuanxiong, it's so late, why don't you go back to rest?" I was a little surprised.

Ma Chuanxiong twisted his eyebrows and said, "Boss, I have something to report to you." ”

He rarely took the initiative to show up to look for me, and looking at his expression, I vaguely realized that something was wrong.

In the study, Ma Chuanxiong handed me a stack of information bags.

"I've been with you for so long, and I've always regarded you as my closest person, but people will grow up and become more and more greedy, I don't want the three of us to go further and further, so I left this document for you, boss, now only you can persuade Lu Qingming, who has gone mad."

I looked at him suspiciously, slowly opened the file bag, and found that it was some financial statements of the company that Lu Qingming had managed for me over the years.

The more I looked, the more gloomy my my face became.

"Why are you giving me this evidence?" I grabbed my bag and stared at Ma Chuanxiong quietly.

"Only you have a way to stop him." He looked at me steadily.

Thundered

The thunder sounded, and the sky was about to change.

The next day, I strode into the office and called the front desk secretary.

"Let Lu Qingming come in."

"General manager, Mr. Lu didn't come to the company today."

"It's the other way around!" I scolded with a grim face, "No matter what method you use, let him come to the company immediately!" ”

More than an hour later, someone pushed open the door and appeared in front of me drunk.

A smell of wine came to my face, and I stared at him coldly, "Lu Qingming, you are now so bold that you can't even think of the company, so you won't come?" ”

He sat lazily across from me, with a woman's lipstick print on his face, smiling both and wanton.

"I have made great contributions to the company, even if I don't come to the company today, I am still the company's general manager."

Since when did Lu Qingming gradually become less like the person I remembered?

I remembered the evidence in the information bag that he bribed officials, colluded with shareholders, and sought personal gain, and my heart gradually filled with anger.
