Chapter 229: The Opportunity to Be Alone

~6 min read 1,107 words

General Manager Xiao, I, I also haven't eaten yet.

Oh, then hurry up and go eat.

Xiao Ming's cold attitude indeed made Liu Peipei feel somewhat disappointed.

She actually had a simple idea: she wanted to have dinner together with Xiao Ming, but unfortunately, he simply didn't give her this opportunity.

Liu Peipei, feeling disheartened, then walked out of the room.

After coming out, she just clenched her teeth tightly and gripped her fists.

No matter how much she devoted herself to this man, it seemed he simply couldn't see her.

Moreover, she always thought that everything she was doing now was completely taken for granted.

She had previously boasted in front of her sisters, saying she would definitely bring this man under her control.

As a result, the outcome was actually the opposite—she ended up being controlled by him instead.

Such a big gap in change also indeed left her feeling a great sense of loss.

Inside the hospital, Xiao Yunzhe no longer wanted to stay here any longer.

This time, what Geng Jing Shu did also indeed made him feel somewhat chilled.

He felt that if it weren't for her hot-tempered nature flaring up, perhaps the child wouldn't have any problems at all.

He had actually been gradually pushing all the problems onto Geng Jing Shu.

Brother, where are you going?

Xiao Jingru had just walked into the hospital when she saw Xiao Yunzhe preparing to get up and leave the ward.

Oh, I'm going to the company to have a look—I haven't been there for several days already.

But, sister-in-law, given your situation, leaving now might not be appropriate, right?

There's nothing inappropriate about it—her parents are already here, and I see she doesn't have any serious issues; if she rests another two days, she should be able to be discharged.

Oh, okay then—you should also tell Dad.

Okay, I got it—if you have nothing else to do, you don't need to keep coming here.

I understand.

After speaking, Xiao Jingru nodded, then watched Xiao Yunzhe get up and leave this place.

She turned her head and looked at Xiao Yuchun.

Do you feel that the eldest brother's attitude has changed somewhat over the past two days?

That's right, there really has been some change; I don't know whether it's because he's been affected by this incident.

It doesn't seem like it—I can feel that he doesn't seem to care as much about his sister-in-law.

No way—what's going on? Besides, this time it's also unwilling; the child was lost, and nobody wants that.

Sigh, who knows? Anyway, it looks pretty complicated—sigh, what is this.

When she reached the ward door, she saw a thermal bucket placed on the floor.

However, this pink thermal bucket— they've actually seen it more than once before; this time, it's still fresh in memory.

It seems that woman has come here again.

She really isn't giving up—she comes twice a day, and each time she brings something different.

Otherwise, we could really take it in and see if sister-in-law can eat it.

Forget it; better not get involved with this, and mentioning this woman might stimulate her.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yuchun walked over, picked up the thermal bucket, went to the trash can, and directly threw it in.

When Xiao Yunzhe left the hospital, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Because he had come in a hurry earlier, he hadn't driven; at this moment, he was standing at the roadside.

At that moment, a red luxury sports car slowly pulled up in front of him.

He found it strange; he didn't seem to have a red sedan.

So he bent down, and at that moment the passenger window slowly rolled down.

He immediately saw that the person sitting in the car was none other than Zong Mengni.

At this time, it's when people get off work, and if you want to hail a taxi, you really can't get one.

Oh, I know.

Xiao Yunzhe said coldly.

But this time, although his attitude was cold, he didn't scold her, nor did he reject her.

So Zong Mengni felt that this matter was finally easing.

Where are you going? Otherwise, I'll give you a ride—I don't have anything else to do right now.

No need—you go ahead and attend to your own business.

I already told you, if you stand here you simply can't catch a taxi; if you don't believe me, wait here and see.

After hearing that, Xiao Yunzhe merely furrowed his brow slightly, then lifted his head and glanced around.

Indeed, there wasn't a single empty taxi in sight around here—all the taxis had their occupied signs on.

He checked the time, and indeed it was already late; if he returned any later, he might not even get to see Teacher Wu.

He gritted his teeth, then directly got into that woman's car.

Just after getting in, he noticed a very light scent inside the cabin.

He couldn't quite say what kind of scent it was, but anyway, smelling it indeed made one feel quite comfortable.

Are you going to Minghui Group?

Yeah, Minghui Group.

Okay.

Zong Mengni stepped hard on the accelerator.

Along the way, there was basically no conversation between the two of them.

Seeing that they were about to arrive downstairs at the company, Zong Mengni did not want to waste such an apology opportunity.

"Xiao Yunzhe, you're called Xiao Yunzhe, right?"

"What's up? Did you dig up my information so thoroughly?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Regarding what happened before, I really didn't do it on purpose, and at the time I locked them up; to be honest, I just wanted to teach them a lesson, and I didn't think about anything else."

"A lesson? Heh, this time your purpose in giving a lesson has actually been achieved, hasn't it?"

"I never imagined things would come to this; sorry, I'm really sorry."

"Enough, you don't need to apologize to me; I've already heard enough."

"But while I'm apologizing to you, there's something I don't know how to bring up."

"What is it?"

Xiao Yunzhe turned his head, then looked at her curiously and asked.

"It's just that, back then, I had gone to the room where I locked them up, and I felt that the environment was a bit strange."

"Strange? Isn't that your turf? Whether it's strange or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"I mean, that place was completely empty, with nothing that could trip it up at all."

"What do you mean by saying that?"
