C10 Four Meeting
She took a deep breath and stared at Liang Feifan without blinking, "Yes, I don't want to."
Liang Feifan narrowed his eyes, as if he was sizing her up. There was no trace of surprise in those deep eyes. It was as if her rejection was within his expectations and there was a faint sense of satisfaction in it.
Finally, he curled his lips and asked, "Why not?"
Why?
Bai Lu laughed bitterly in her heart. Actually, it wasn't that she felt unfit for such a position, it was because she didn't want to be too close to someone from Liang Family. The man in front of her was Liang Jingxiao's biological brother. Her current relationship with Liang Jingxiao was so sensitive. If she were to add another line, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?
She didn't think this way because she was afraid of Liang Jingxiao. Whether it was in terms of reason or friendship, she was the one who betrayed her. She didn't need to be afraid of anything, she just didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
Before the meeting, she was already hesitating about whether she should resign. After Liang Feifan questioned her ability, she would argue. But now … It was as if the thing she cared about the most had been reversed. There was no need for her to stay in the EC …
"Mr. Liang, actually, I …"
The phone suddenly rang, interrupting Bai Lu's next words.
Liang Feifan raised his hand to indicate her to wait a moment, then stood up from the sofa with his straight body and walked towards the high school table with steady steps.
Bai Lu saw him press the speaker button and a respectful female voice came over the radio, "Mr. Liang, your sister Miss Liang is here. She said she wants to see you now."
Bai Lu's heart sank. Originally, she had been tugging at the corner of her clothes with more and more force. Was the heavens playing a never-ending game with her?
"Let her in." Liang Feifan's voice was deep and powerful, so he pressed down the call button the moment he said that.
Bai Lu knew it would be like this. She quickly went up and said before Liang Feifan let go, "Mr. Liang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
"Don't worry." Liang Feifan seemed to be in a good mood. He even smiled at her, "You and Jingxiao aren't good friends? Now that she's here, you can meet her. And what were you trying to say? Haven't you finished? "I don't like to guess. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Bai Lu sighed inwardly, thinking, I can't escape today no matter what.
Forget it, it was just Liang Jingxiao. If she really couldn't face him, then it should be her who couldn't face him. Why did she avoid the person who let her down when she didn't do anything shameful?
"Mr. Liang, I was just about to say …"
"Big brother!"
Before Bai Lu could finish her sentence, another excited female voice interrupted her again.
If it was a familiar voice, there was no need to look to know who it was.
Bai Lu's expression changed slightly, but she still slowly raised her head. However, when she saw the person at the door, her face turned pale — it wasn't just Liang Jingxiao, it was Xiang Longjin as well!
The two of them held hands, their fingers tightly clasped together. The words "We are very happy" were clearly written on their faces, but it was like the sharpest blade that stabbed into Bai Lu's heart without any preparation.
The dull pain followed right after. She kept telling herself that she had already accepted the fact that she had been betrayed, but seeing it with her own eyes was a completely different matter!
"Bai Lu?" Liang Jingxiao probably did not expect that the person who came to look for Liang Feifan would not want to see Bai Lu in the office.
Her expression also changed, but what made it even more difficult for her to accept was that Xiang Longjin suddenly let go of her hand as if he was electrocuted.
After all, she was Rich Young Lady. How could she tolerate a man avoiding her when he saw his ex-girlfriend?
However, there was still Liang Feifan. She endured it even if she didn't want to. However, she pointed her displeasure at Bai Lu, who was standing beside Liang Feifan.
"Big brother, why is Bai Lu here?"
Bai Lu didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. She felt it was hilarious. So many identities had gone up on stage, and they were all attacking her. She was like a deserter who had been defeated without a fight.
This was because she only wanted to turn around and leave. She didn't want to face the two people standing by the door even for a second.
"She's an EC employee, is it weird for her to appear in my office?" Only Liang Feifan, an outsider, knew nothing, so he was the most calm. As he spoke, he walked around the table and sat down on a chair. His slender fingers casually tapped on a folder in front of him as his sharp eyes fell on the somewhat uneasy Xiang Longjin. "Jingxiao, what business do you have with me?"
Liang Jingxiao's gaze was fixated on Bai Lu. After being called out by Liang Feifan, she suddenly thought of something, and without caring about Bai Lu, she grabbed Xiang Longjin's hand and walked in, "Big Brother, I came today because I have something to tell you. I'll introduce you first, this is Xiang Longjin, he's mine …"
