Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Huo Xiaoting looked down at himself, the skirt reached the ankle, the neckline reached the chin, and no matter how tight it was, it would be breathless.
She took a deep breath and stood on tiptoe to find the maรฎtre d'รชtre.
"Do you know where Linda is?" She stopped a waiter and asked.
"Behind the bar." As he spoke, the waiter pointed to the bar not far away, and saw a bewitching figure looking for something in the wine cabinet.
Huo Xiaoting was stunned in place, feeling a little dazzled for a while, but she still walked up.
"You're Linda?" She asked.
The man named Linda turned around, startled, but in an instant a smile curled up at the corners of his lips.
"I'm ah, why did Mrs. Lu come to this kind of venue?"
It's none other than the bewitching girl who was unclear with Lu Brown before!
Huo Xiaoting's heart sank, she never expected that she really had to work in the Lu family, and for a while, she was in a dilemma.
She had planned to work here for a while, but Linda knew her identity and treated her with some hostility, so it seemed that it was impossible to "make a private visit to Weifu" here anyway.
"Oh," Linda said with a look of sudden realization, "are you here to trouble me?" โ
As she spoke, she looked Huo Xiaoting up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, this place is not suitable for you, even if you are the wife of the president of the Lu family, you are still a student after all." โ
When the word "student" was spoken, Linda couldn't help but laugh out loud, full of sarcasm.
"What's wrong with the student?" Huo Xiaoting hooked his lips and said, "Although I am a student, I am married, unlike some people, who can only watch the men around me marry other women." โ
"You!" Linda retracted her smile, her eyes lit up.
"Me? Which of my words was wrong? You like to hit the muzzle of the gun so much, you should be low-key, but you always speak disrespectfully, I didn't want to pay attention to you, but listening to your nonsense without discipline, in public and private, I can't say it, right? โ
The word "public and private" was bitten extremely hard by Huo Xiaoting, Linda was stunned, did not dare to refute, and had to drink a glass of spirits under her hand.
Putting down the cup, she seemed to be bold, hooked her eyes, and said, "It's okay to come and play, it's always okay to drink, right?" If you don't know how to drink, why do you want to come to me? โ
"Who said I'm here to play? This is the property in the hands of Hancheng, you mean I can't come? โ
Linda's eyes flickered, and she reached out to the people around her.
The man was her subordinate, and quickly pushed a cup over, and Linda placed the cup heavily in front of Huo Xiaoting's eyes.
"Since you're here, don't come in vain," Linda said, a little less feminine and a little more aggressive, "I just opened a bottle of wine, one person also drinks, two people also drink, you and I compare, I set up a game, let the people present bet, the final money is not divided between you and me, all confiscated, no matter who you and I win, the final winner is the Lu family, how about it?" You have no reason to refuse, right? โ
Hearing this, Huo Xiaoting's eyes darkened.
She suddenly realized that she had underestimated the person in front of her all along, thinking that she was just a vase, and it seemed that she was a vase with some brains.
She thought of Lu Brown's expression at the wedding before, and her heart was even more uneasy.
"Mrs. Lu," added Linda, "what do you want?" Wouldn't you be thinking that Mr. Lu would come to the hero to save the United States? I heard Ah Brown say that you were originally his girlfriend, but later became his third aunt, and you can only show off your power in the Lu family by relying on Lu Zong's maintenance, which is different from me, I am all on my own. โ
"Okay," Huo Xiaoting glanced at the cup in front of him and raised his eyes, "It should be regarded as an increase in revenue for my Lu family." โ
Linda was stunned, but soon smiled: "A powerful person is called brave enough; People who don't have the strength can be called inadequate, Mrs. Lu, you can think about it. โ
"Of course I thought about it, what, are you scared?"
"I'm afraid?" Linda frowned and said, "I just can't figure it out, although you are still superior to his current wife, but Ah Brown used to like you as a type of clear soup and little water, it's really surprising." โ
She unabashedly stood up, showing her good figure, and then looked at Huo Xiaoting, who was particularly tightly wrapped, with disdain, and just as she wanted to say something more, there was suddenly one more person behind Huo Xiaoting.
"Then I want to thank my nephew for worrying about his vision, if he is really reluctant to give up on Xiaoting, won't my Lu family's gossip become the talk of the whole city again?"
It's Lu Han City!
He put one arm on Huo Xiaoting's shoulder, and his gestures were showing his ownership.
Linda, who was still triumphant, was full of jealousy in her eyes, but she didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
Lu Hancheng held Huo Xiaoting tightly in his arms and said coldly: "You really have to be an employee of my Lu family?" โ
"Yes," Linda was not afraid, "Mr. Lu, such a big stall of the Lu family, of course you can't recognize every employee, I am an excellent employee, this time through my hands, a lot of money for the Lu family." โ
As she spoke, she deliberately leaned forward and lay on the bar, and the male guest opposite her instantly straightened her eyes.
But Lu Hancheng didn't move, but said with a smile: "Even if you give it to a dog, you can still earn so much money, so it has nothing to do with you." โ
Hearing this, Linda's narcissistic expression froze, and her eyes were mixed with jealousy and anger, making her otherwise dazzling appearance extremely terrifying and ugly.
"Mr. Lu, even if Ah Brown can't be defeated in front of you, such words shouldn't be the words of President Lu!"
"I naturally like to be able to reason well, but for special people, you have to use special methods, if you feel offended, you can sue Lu Brown, aren't you like glue? I heard that he gave up on his honeymoon, and you have another chance. โ
With that, he picked up the wine glass in front of Fang Cai Huo Xiaoting, glanced at the liquor in it, and spilled it out with a flip of his wrist. Immediately, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he said: "This bottle of wine, count it in my account, the bureau you just said, estimate the price, and I will help you confiscate it." โ
Linda suppressed her anger and said in a low voice: "Okay, I made a note, there are a lot of guests, Mr. Lu, don't embarrass your staff." With that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Lu Hancheng also walked out with Huo Xiaoting in his arms, and whispered in her ear as he walked: "If I don't come, do you really want to drink those wines?" โ
"Of course, she's on her toes in front of me, and I can't swallow it."
"It's just one breath, even if you are really angry, I will help you out, if you drink your body, what should I do?"
"Won't it?"
"Won't? Did you know that people die of alcohol poisoning every year? โ
"Hancheng, you are looking forward to me so much...... Dead? Huo Xiaoting knew that he was at a loss, and immediately said pitifully.
Lu Hancheng took a deep breath and said angrily: "Xiaoting, it's okay to be coquettish, but if you say this kind of 'death' again, I can only teach you well and make you dare not open this mouth again." โ
Huo Xiaoting was speechless, nodded lightly, and said, "I know, but why are you here?" When were you there? โ
"I knew you were going to have a problem, and I followed you a few steps after you got out of the car."
"You can't trust me?"
"I'm just worried about you."
"Did you know that Lu Brown's lover was the manager here?"
Lu Hancheng shook his head, his expression secretive.
"Hancheng, I suddenly feel that Lu Brown Wolf's ambition has not changed."
"Heh," Lu Hancheng said with a smile, "This is natural, not only has he not changed, but Du Ru is even more impatient, otherwise how could they marry Huo Xiaolan?" โ
"Are you in danger then?" As he spoke, Huo Xiaoting's eyes were also stained with a layer of worry.
"No," Lu Hancheng said, "Where there is a choice, there must be a price, Lu Brown can't control his lower body, so he has to help himself bury a mine outside and give me a big gift, so I naturally want to be disrespectful." โ
He glanced back at the bar again, didn't say anything, hugged Huo Xiaoting's waist tightly, and walked out......
Huo Xiaoting's "stimulating" job really stimulated her, and in the middle of the night, she began to think about a new internship position.
"Hancheng, I know it's wrong." In the center of the soft big bed, she shrunk into Lu Hancheng's arms like a cute kitten.
"Wrong? Well, the children can be taught, so tell me what you did wrong. โ
"Don't look for excitement." Huo Xiaoting said pitifully.
"Heh, it's not bad, the central idea is summarized accurately, what should I do in the future?"
"Congliang."
"Congliang?" Lu Hancheng frowned, pinched the small chin in front of him with his big hand, and said in a low voice, "You lie next to me, can't you be considered good?" โ
"I ...... I mean work...... Congliang. โ
Hearing this, the darkness in Lu Hancheng's eyes finally receded, and he nodded and said, "I can promise you this matter." โ
"And what else can I do?"
"Lu's has a children's entertainment industry, you go to the children's photography store."
"Children?" Hearing these two words, Huo Xiaoting pouted and said, "Go around, you still want me to give birth to a baby." โ
"I didn't say that."
"But what you did ......"
"What did I do?" Lu Hancheng raised his eyebrows, "You said, work should be good, there is no more 'good' profession than serving children, Lu's just has a children's photography store opened, if you want to go, I can call me now, do you regret it?" โ
"Nope!" Huo Xiaoting hurriedly said, "Then I'll go early tomorrow morning, and I must not reveal my identity." โ
"Don't worry, I'll say it's Mrs. Lu's classmate." With that, he smiled slyly.
As he spoke, Lu Hancheng dialed the phone, quickly arranged it, put down the phone, and wrote lightly: "It's okay, I'll send you over tomorrow morning." โ
Huo Xiaoting looked surprised.
She looked at the time, and it was a little past the moment.
"Hancheng, do you always call your subordinates in the middle of the night?"
"Occasionally, how? Do you have an opinion? โ
"I just don't think there's a rush in this matter......"
"I'm not in a hurry, but as soon as it has something to do with you, I forgot the time." Lu Hancheng said solemnly, without the slightest intention of deliberately pleasing him.
