Chapter 168: Visitors to the Villa
As soon as I heard that Jiang Cheng asked him to pick me up, he instantly lost a good face towards him, "No need, I'll take a taxi back by myself." "I walked forward more and more.
Xu Yue trotted to my side, "Madam, the president ordered me to pick you up, if you can't pick you up, you will definitely be angry with me, Madame should pity me." ”
"What's the matter with me?" I couldn't stop talking.
I haven't figured out how to face Jiang Cheng yet, so I don't want to meet him.
"Yes, yes, it's none of Madame's business, but Madame is kind-hearted, and she can't bear to let me be scolded by the president."
I paused and said angrily, "Why didn't I notice you were so thick-skinned before?" ”
"As long as Madame is willing to let me send you back, it's okay to be thick-skinned."
If Xu Yue's attitude was tougher, I could still give him a face and refuse, but he was so low-minded, I couldn't let out the fire in my heart.
"Let's go." I said with my breath in my breath.
"Madame, please."
I followed Xu Yue to the parking place, and he pulled the car door to let me in. I bent down to go inside, and when I saw the person sitting inside, my face darkened.
I turned my head to look at Xu Yue and said angrily, "You lied to me." ”
Xu Yue broke into a cold sweat and said with a dry smile: "I didn't lie to my wife, it was really the president who asked me to pick you up." ”
"Then why didn't you say he was there too?"
"I told him not to say it." Jiang Cheng in the car spoke.
I glared at Xu Yue fiercely, I was careless, and I didn't know if Jiang Cheng was also here.
I took a deep breath and withdrew my eyes to leave.
Xu Yue took the first step in front of me, "Madam, you can get in the car." ”
"I'm not going to get on the bus, I'll settle this matter for you later." I disgruntled to say that I hated this feeling of being calculated.
But I hadn't taken two steps before I stopped because of Jiang Cheng's words.
"If you don't get in the car, then I'll make your bridal shop unopen tomorrow."
I turned my head and looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief, "You threaten me?" ”
"If I threaten you and you get in the car, then I'm threatening you." Jiang Cheng's face was calm.
My heart shook and I hesitated to sit in the car.
Seeing that after I got into the car, Xu Yue also sat in the co-pilot, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car started slowly.
"I've gotten in the car as you asked, don't hit my bridal shop idea again." I said with a suppressed anger.
"I'm not going to do it right now." Jiang Cheng said lightly.
If you don't do it now, it doesn't mean that you won't do it in the future, is Jiang Cheng planning to eat me?
"You think you'll be able to force me to do this?" I said sarcastically.
Jiang Cheng's face did not change, "I'm not forcing you, I just want to talk to you seriously." ”
I took a deep breath and expelled the turbid air from my chest cavity two or three times before I really calmed down.
"Talk about whatever you want."
It's one thing to talk about it or not, and it's another thing whether I listen or not.
"I heard that the money you used to open the store was lent to you by Bai Ye." Jiang Cheng said this suddenly.
I couldn't hide my doubts, "Where did you hear that?" ”
Jiang Cheng avoided answering, "So you admit it?" ”
"Yes." I graciously admitted, "He lent me the money." ”
Jiang Cheng's face was stained with frost, "I am your husband, you don't tell me but borrow money from outsiders, do you take me to heart?" ”
"You shouldn't ask me this sentence, but you should ask yourself why I'd rather borrow money from someone else than come to you." I said coldly.
Jiang Cheng fell silent, and said in a hoarse voice after half a sound: "I'll give him the money tomorrow, and you give it back to him." ”
A feeling of humiliation welled up in my heart, "If you want to humiliate me, you don't have to, since I dare to borrow money, I naturally have the ability to pay it back." ”
"I'll give you another chance, one is to stop caring about the wedding dress shop and work hard in ML, and the other is to return the money to Bai Ye."
"I choose the third one."
"What?" Jiang Cheng looked puzzled.
I looked at his face and said word for word, "I chose to resign from ML." ”
The reason why Jiang Cheng persecuted me so much was, in the final analysis, that I didn't have enough capital to talk to him.
If I continue to stay in ML, then I will always be inferior to Jiang Cheng, which is what I don't want to see.
So almost instantly, I decided that resigning from ML and staying away from Jiang Cheng's wings might be an opportunity and a challenge for me.
Jiang Cheng looked incredulous, "For Bai Ye, you want to resign from ML?" ”
I chuckled, "Not for Bai Ye to resign from ML, but for myself, the sky outside is still big, and I want to soar instead of looking at the narrow sky above my head in ML." ”
Jiang Cheng fell silent and didn't speak all the way.
When I got home, I went back to my room, turned on my computer and wrote my resignation.
The next day, during dinner, Jiang Cheng thought that I was talking angrily yesterday, so he deliberately said that he would follow me to work for a while.
"Okay, I'm quitting, just in time to say goodbye to them." I took a sip of the milk from the cup and said.
Jiang Cheng's face was slightly gloomy, "Are you serious?" ”
Not to be outdone, I looked back, "I never lie. ”
In the end, Jiang Cheng was defeated, didn't wait for me, and left with a distraught face.
I didn't stop him, and when I was done, I asked the driver to take me to the company.
After I submitted my resignation letter, my boss didn't give me a clear answer and told me to wait first.
I guess Jiang Cheng should have told him, so he didn't ask more, and left after talking for a while.
As soon as I went out, I saw Joseph and Song Meng at the door, and Song Meng's eyes were red, as if she had cried.
"Ruoyao, do you really want to resign?" Joseph said suspiciously.
"Well, the letter of resignation has been handed in."
Song Meng's tears flowed down her eyes, "Sister Ruoyao, why are you leaving all of a sudden, is something wrong?" ”
When Joseph heard this, he looked at me with some concern.
"Nothing happened, didn't I open a bridal shop recently? I was busy with a lot of things, and I was working and designing wedding dresses, and I couldn't take care of both ends, so I thought about quitting my job. I explained.
The two suddenly realized, Song Meng sobbed and said, "Then will you come back in the future?" ”
"I'll come to see you if it's okay in the future, and I'm in this city, and we'll see you at any time."
After I finished speaking, Song Meng stopped crying, but she was still a little sad.
I was worried that the two of them would be sad if they continued to talk about it, so I asked them to go to work first.
I went back to the office, and in the blink of an eye, I had been here for almost half a year, and every grass and tree in the office was added by me later, and now I am suddenly leaving, and I am still a little reluctant.
But there is a give-and-take, and I have already taken this step, and it is impossible to turn back.
I pack up my usual things and plan to take them back when I get off work.
I'm not worried at all that Jiang Cheng won't agree to my resignation, and even if he doesn't, I'll leave.
When I got off work, Xu Yue still came to pick me up, this time I didn't say anything, gave him the cardboard box in my hand, and naturally sat in the car.
Jiang Cheng was also there, as I expected.
When he saw the box in Xu Yue's hand, Jiang Cheng's eyes deepened, and his face seemed to be enduring something.
Speechless all the way.
After getting out of the car, I walked towards my room with the suitcase, and when I reached the door, Jiang Cheng stopped me.
"Your resignation approval will come down tomorrow."
I was surprised, I thought that Jiang Cheng was going to embarrass me for a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Thank you."
Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and complained: "Have we reached the point where we want to say thank you?" ”
"Sometimes it's better for each other to be clear." When I say this, my heart hurts beyond words.
Every time I use such cold words, I can suppress my love for Jiang Cheng.
"I see."
Jiang Cheng's face was complicated, and there was something in his eyes that I couldn't understand, whether it was pain or sadness.
Looking at Jiang Cheng's lonely back, I was in a trance, and the softest place in my heart seemed to be pricked by something, it hurt very much, and it hurt so much that my nose was sore.
I lifted my head and poured the wetness back into my eyes.
As night fell, I was in my room thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly, a loud sound suddenly came from the originally quiet villa, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
"Sister-in-law Zhang!"
As soon as the words came out, I quickly closed my mouth, remembering that today was a rest day, and the servants in the villa had gone home to rest, and they would only come back tomorrow.
Suddenly, there was another loud bang, this time the sound of glass falling to the ground.
It can't be a thief, right?
When I think about this, my heart pounds, and the more I think about it, the more scared I become.
I crept to the door, intending to lock it so that even if a thief did come in, I would be able to resist it for a while.
But as soon as I got to the door, I heard a faint cry of pain.
I thought I had misheard, so I put my ear to the door and listened, and sure enough, there was a sound.
In an instant, I remembered that Jiang Cheng was still there, and I thought that the person outside couldn't be him, right?
I returned to the desk and picked up my phone to call Jiang Cheng, but the phone rang and hung up, followed by a text message.
It was sent by Jiang Cheng, telling me to hide and not go out.
Looking at these words, I was shocked. Jiang Cheng said this, that is, something happened to him.
At this time, the sound outside gradually became quieter and became intermittent.
If the person outside is Jiang Cheng, then he may not be able to hold on.
I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and sent a text message to Xu Yue, asking him to come quickly.
After texting, I searched in my room to see if there was a suitable weapon, and after searching for a long time, I found a pair of golf clubs.
I gently opened the door and took the club and followed the source of the sound.
The villa was dark, and I didn't dare to turn on the lights for fear that the thieves would see it.
It was silent, and there was no sound except the sound of my heartbeat.
At the same time, I could smell a hint of blood in the air.
My heart tightened, and I quickened, and I was always on the lookout for a person popping up around me.
After walking for a while, the faint sound reappeared. My eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and I could probably see the scene in front of me.
I found myself walking into the hall and becoming more and more careful, for the hall was large and empty, and it was not easy for people to hide.
Suddenly, I saw a black mass on the ground not far away, which looked like a person.
I was so frightened that the hairs stood on end all over my body, and I subconsciously wanted to run.
But before he could run away, the black shadow made a small sound.
