Chapter 091: A Different Kind of Gentleness
Lu Yaocheng put the pudding in his hand on the coffee table, sat upright, and looked at Wen Lu with blazing eyes, "I'm looking forward to your 'midterm exam paper'." β
He calls the three-month assessment a "midterm exam."
She boasted about Haikou at the beginning, saying that she would satisfy him, and had the audacity to make him promise that once he was satisfied, he would unconditionally cut off his skin and flesh.
In this test, almost all the initiative is in Lu Yaocheng's hands, even if she does a good job, Lu Yaocheng is satisfied, but it can be said that she is not satisfied, so that she has no confidence in losing.
But Wen Lu dared to make such a promise, and she has always had her own thoughts, but the routines and scheming in it depend on whether Lu Yaocheng eats it or not.
At the beginning, Wen Lu thought about it, and when the three months arrived, she would be able to occupy a little weight in Lu Yaocheng's heart at that time, and it should not be difficult for Lu Yaocheng to let go of Wen Luan when the time came.
It's just that I didn't expect that there were too many entanglements in this, so the situation simply developed in a good direction, and now Wen Luan is basically fine.
Naturally, it won't let Lu Yaocheng cut the skin and lose the flesh, but what should Lu Yaocheng think of her?
He had already guessed her thoughts, everything was for Wen Luan, and now that Wen Luan was fine, he must have wanted to see how she asked him to "cut the skin and lose the flesh".
***
On the day Wang Jiaojiao was discharged from the hospital, Wen Lu was processing data in the office, and Du Moyou called her to inform her that Wang Jiaojiao was going to be discharged from the hospital, and Wen Lu hurriedly rushed to hear the news.
The person who helped Wang Jiaojiao get discharged from the hospital was Wang Jiaojiao's personal tutor Erin, and she came with Mrs. Wang, who was not very conscious.
After this period of treatment, her mood has stabilized, but the person seems too calm, unresponsive, indifferent, the doctor said that it is a post-traumatic stress reaction, and it will recover in a few days.
Her emotions did not fluctuate, and even Wang Jiaojiao had to slow down half a beat when she called her, but fortunately, she would respond, otherwise it would really make people think that she didn't even know her daughter.
"I specially invited the most famous experts from the imperial capital to come and treat her, butβthe effect seems to be average, but fortunately, the doctor said that she is also normal, and she should be able to recover slowly," Erin packed Wang Jiaojiao's clothes and other things, and handed them to the driver who came with her.
The driver left the ward with two bags of things and went to prepare the car.
Wang Jiaojiao lay in Mrs. Wang's arms, reluctant to come down, and kept chattering with Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang only responded to a word for a long time, which made her very discouraged.
Wang Jiaojiao didn't understand that her mother was "sick", she just thought that her father was out, she was unhappy, and she took the album that Song Yan gave her to show Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids slightly, and in a blink of an eye she was immersed in her own world.
Du Moyou was a little distressed, but seeing Mrs. Wang sitting on the bed, her hands still firmly wrapped around Wang Jiaojiao, afraid that she would slide down, thinking that she still agreed with this daughter deep down in her heart, and was not as alienated as she appeared on the surface.
Falling into a stressful and indifferent situation, it is estimated that they are like depressed people, they can't control themselves, everything is involuntary, ordinary people can't understand it, but they are always under this emotion.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang is only temporary, and it is only a matter of time before she recovers.
"Fortunately, there are you, if it weren't for you, their mother and daughter wouldn't know what would have happened," Du Moyou looked at Wang Jiaojiao distressedly.
Erin smiled politely back, "I hit it off with Mrs. Wang at first sight, I will naturally help her if I can help her, not to mention Jiaojiao is very obedient and very likable." β
She reached out and wanted to touch the top of Wang Jiaojiao's head, but Wang Jiaojiao did not resist, holding her picture book, and looked back at her deeply, her eyes were not kind.
Obediently lying in her mother's arms, her little eyes kept looking at Irene.
"Look, this kid is still shy," Erin smiled to hide a hint of embarrassment.
Wen Lu, who was standing behind Du Moyou, didn't say a word, and looked at all this.
Du Moyou felt sorry for Wang Jiaojiao, and she wanted to separate at the moment, so she was inevitably reluctant, so she stepped forward to tell Wang Jiaojiao some things, and said her final goodbye by the way.
Erin took the opportunity to step forward, took the initiative to talk to Wen Lu, and whispered, "How did you make the proposal last time?" β
Last time at the coffee shop, Irene's offer was indeed tempting, but it was not a small price for her.
Wen Lu shook his head, "He has always been leaky, how can I easily get the bottom price." β
Erin also shook her head, looking at her with a straight look, "Really didn't find out?" β
"Nope."
Erin stared at her for a while, Wen Lu was not stage frightened, she looked at herself, and she looked back at her, and when their eyes met, there seemed to be an electric current of confrontation.
"It's okay, there's no hurry," Erin smiled nonchalantly, "You take your time, I have something to go back to the imperial capital these days, you should have enough time." But don't let me down when I get back. β
Wen Lu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't show much on her face.
At least this time can give her a little respite, so that she can concentrate on dealing with Mu Huanting.
After all, she pressed harder on her side.
When all the formalities were completed, several people were about to leave, and the figure that suddenly appeared at the door almost collided with Du Moyou, who was the first to go out.
Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and immediately stopped his foot.
He was still carrying some things in his hand, all of which were gift boxes.
"Xu Ke?" Wen Lu was the first to react.
Du Moyou saw the person who came clearly and remembered that he had seen him many times.
Xu Ke apologized very politely, and Du Moyou said it didn't matter.
"Why are you here?" Wen Lu was shocked, could it be that Lu Yaocheng also knew that Wang Jiaojiao was discharged from the hospital today? But it was obvious that this was a temporary decision, and even she only knew about it because of Du Moyou's notice.
Wen Lu called him, but his gaze remained fixed on the other person.
Following Xu Ke's eyes, his gaze passed over the few people at the door and went straight to Erin in the innermost part.
Apparently they know.
Looking back at Erin, Erin smiled indifferently, she couldn't tell whether she was hot or cold on her face, and only said slowly, "Hello, Xu Ke." β
Her tone was like that of an old friend.
Xu Ke nodded slightly, "Hello, Miss Irene." β
is still a respectful and serious look.
Then he gave the gift box to Wen Lu, "This is what Mr. explained, let you turn the corner for Mrs. Wang." β
Xu Ke was very knowledgeable, and he didn't ask Lu Yaocheng in front of Mrs. Wang, but just called "sir".
Wen Lu didn't understand what Lu Yaocheng meant, so she just took it obediently, "Put them in the car in a while." β
Several people accompanied Mrs. Wang and Wang Jiaojiao to see them off, but Xu Ke said to Erin: "I have something to think about, and I want to talk to Miss Erin alone." β
Erin froze for a moment, obviously not expecting it, "Yes," and said to them instead, "You can send Mrs. Wang and Jiaojiao down first, and I will go down later." β
Du Moyou and Wen Lu accompanied Mrs. Wang and Wang Jiaojiao to leave first, but Erin's eyes kept on Wen Lu.
"Say, what does he want to warn me?" Erin's expression suddenly became cold, and her tone was not polite at all, "Do you want to warn me to stay away from his sweetheart, or is it like a warning to me not to ruin his good deeds?" β
"Miss Erin, Mr. Lu didn't mean that," Xu Ke said.
"And what does he mean?" Erin crossed her arms, twisted her eyebrows and asked coldly.
"What does Miss Erin mean when she comes to Enoe City?" Permission rhetorical question.
Erin paused, and then said: "The world is so big, where I want to go is my freedom, come here but I heard that the scenery here is good, come out and take a walk." I will return to the imperial capital in a few days and tell Lu Yaocheng not to worry too much. β
"Of course Mr. Lu will be worried, after all, your health has always been not very good, if something goes wrong on the Zhijiang side, I think Mr. Lu must be very worried. So, for the sake of your body, it's good to go back to the imperial capital as soon as possible," Xu Ke said.
Erin listened to Xu Ke's words, but she had a different taste.
"Is this a change of law to drive me away?" Erin asked.
"Where? Miss Erin, your body is the main thing," Xu Ke said.
Erin ignored him, glared at him, and walked away in her high heels.
Xu Ke watched her leave, a faint smile on his face.
When Wen Lu came back, what she saw was the mysterious smile on Xu Ke's face, she couldn't guess what Xu Ke was happy about, and when she thought about it, it should be Erin who said she was leaving.
"Miss Wen?"
A shocked inquiry came, Wen Lu looked up, and was also shocked when she saw the person in front of her.
She had just left her phone in the ward and came back halfway to pick it up, only then did she hear the conversation between the two. Standing around the corner, she basically heard the whole process of the conversation between the two, and at this moment she was ruthlessly exposed by Xu Ke, and she was stunned in place, like a child who had done something wrong, unable to move.
Xu Ke's scrutinizing gaze looked at her, which made Wen Lu a little confused.
"I'll get my phone," briefly explained the reason, bypassing Xu Ke, Wen Lu hurriedly ran to the ward.
After coming out, I thought that Xu Ke had left, but I didn't expect that he was still waiting for her at the door.
Wen Lu was shocked, "I didn't hear anything." β
"Miss Wen?" Xu Ke looked puzzled, "I'm just waiting for you to come out and say goodbye." β
I didn't want Wen Lu to confess himself.
"It doesn't matter if you hear it, I guess Miss Erin's identity, you already know it, right?" Xu Ke said.
Wen Lu saw that he had seen everything, so he had to have a showdown, "I know, she is Lu Yaocheng's first lover." β
is also the only woman Lu Yaocheng has ever given her true feelings.
"Your identity, you also know, it's better to see her rarely in the future," Xu Ke advised, not hearing whether it was good or bad.
Wen Lu nodded, but all of this was Erin who took the initiative to find her, and she didn't seem to have a chance to refuse.
Erin is obviously setting up a game, a big game, and the primary target of this game is Lu Yaocheng.
Regarding their previous grievances, right and wrong, Wen Lu was just forced to enter the game.
She is not in control of the game, she can only wait and see, waiting for an opportunity.
"I heard that you went to the flower and bird market with Mr. Song a few days ago and ate together," Xu Ke looked at her suspiciously.
Wen Lu frowned, "Let's go buy flower pots." β
"Buy flower pots?" Xu Ke asked: "Why did you buy flower pots with Mr. Song?" Or - you're just looking for someone close to Mr. Song? After all, Mr. Song also knows the low price of Tiansheng Pharmaceutical's packaged and sold goods. β
