Chapter 775

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, wait, wait, we won't pursue it anymore..."

Hearing that her brother Lu Zixue was going to be investigated, Lu Jingyao grabbed Watching Wen Leyu's arm in a panic.

Lu Zhizhang had gathered everyone related to Lu Zixue that day and explained Lu Zixue's affairs clearly, so Lu Jingyao knew very well what Lu Zixue had done during his internship.

And if the school sent people to investigate, what would be Lu Zixue's fate?

This wasn't the school investigating out of boredom, but the result of someone pushing from behind. It would be strange if they didn't get to the bottom of it!

Lu Zixue was absent from work, late and leaving early, made work errors, and even if Li Ye twisted his mouth and described the later events as Lu Zixue threatening the internship unit with jumping off a building because of dissatisfaction with the internship evaluation, it would all work...

Ten years of hard study, all washed away; wouldn't that be a tragedy?

Watching Wen Leyu gently waved her arm, throwing Lu Jingyao's arm aside, and asked curiously: "You won't pursue it? Pursue what?"

"We..."

Lu Jingyao was speechless for a moment, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she said: "My brother was a bit impulsive at the Light Auto Company that day; he didn't really want to jump off the building, so there's no need for the school to investigate, right!"

"Oh~~"

Watching Wen Leyu said with a sudden realization: "So what you meant just now is that you won't pursue the matter of our Li Ye forcing your brother to jump off the building?"

"No, no, you misunderstood, Xiaoyu. That's not what we meant. This time it was all my brother's fault; let's just pretend this never happened..."

"Is that so? You won't pursue it?"

Watching Wen Leyu tilted her little neck, tilted her head, and squinted her eyes, but her eyebrows were like a curved blade slowly being unsheathed, flying up to both sides bit by bit, sharp and compelling.

Then, Watching Wen Leyu became irritable.

"You won't pursue it, but we still want to! Do you know how much influence your and your brother's behavior has caused Li Ye? Forcing an intern to jump off a building, what a great crime!"

Watching Wen Leyu stretched out her finger and poked Lu Jingyao directly in the chest: "Do you want to be like you were back then, easily moving your lips and making Li Ye act like nothing happened? You've gotten used to it, haven't you, not knowing your own greed?"

"."

Lu Jingyao was shocked. Looking at the sharp-tongued Watching Wen Leyu in front of her, she really couldn't reconcile her with the Watching Wen Leyu from a few years ago.

Let alone Lu Jingyao, even Watching Wen Leyu's current colleagues at the Zhongxin Company would be shocked to see her now.

Watching Wen Leyu had always been cold, quiet, and emotionally stable in front of outsiders, but look at Watching Wen Leyu now; why are her words so intense? Why is her gaze so fierce? Why are her emotions so rich?

And Watching Wen Leyu even started using her hands, her little finger poking Lu Jingyao's chest one poke after another, making her retreat continuously, as if she were about to pull her hair and throw punches the next moment.

Watching Wen Leyu had been practicing bayonet fighting with Li Ye for four years, and now that she was acting up, that fierce momentum was clearly different from an ordinary person, scaring Lu Jingyao all at once.

"Xiaoyu, don't be impulsive, listen to my explanation..."

"Explanation? What are you using to explain?" Watching Wen Leyu laughed mockingly: "Or are you using your effortless spit to explain? So many years have passed, and you are still so hypocritical."

"."

Actually, it's not Watching Wen Leyu's fault for being angry, because Lu Jingyao has either been in school or overseas these years, and she doesn't understand the competition within mainland enterprises at all, greatly underestimating the influence of Lu Zixue's jumping off the building.

Why did Teacher Ke arrange for people from the education system to intervene in the investigation immediately?

Because if Li Ye didn't start the investigation beforehand, the competitors would investigate. They also have people above, and when people from the ministry come to investigate, Li Ye won't be able to escape the label of having a rough style.

Li Ye worked hard to promote the development of the First Branch Factory and just achieved some results; why should he give up halfway?

So whoever determines the responsibility on the other party first can ensure they are safe and sound.

The school giving the investigation result first means it's Lu Zixue's problem; then it won't be easy for anyone else to find fault.

But Watching Wen Leyu felt angry, and Lu Jingyao also felt stifled.

She had already been poked by Watching Wen Leyu's finger until she retreated to the wall. With nowhere left to retreat, she said with red eyes: "Xiaoyu, you can accuse me of anything else, but you cannot insult my character. I really want to sincerely explain and apologize to you, not hypocritically..."

"You're not hypocritical?"

Watching Wen Leyu widened her eyes and said amusingly: "When you proposed to call off the engagement with Li Ye back then, you only paid with a few light words, but how much influence did Li Ye receive?

The whole school laughed at Li Ye, the whole county was mocking the Li family. What kind of explanation and apology do you think can make up for the harm they received? If it can't be made up, what is it if not hypocritical?"

"."

Lu Jingyao felt her blood rushing, her head buzzing, and if she hadn't leaned hard against the wall behind her, she might have lost her balance and fallen to the ground.

She had already explained the matter of calling off the engagement with Li Ye to him, and she had apologized to Li Ye again at the full-month party of Lu Zixue's son. Even when she met Li Ye a few days ago, she had expressed that any grudges could be "taken out on me."

But why were these apologies, which she had lowered her self-esteem for time and again, useless? Why were they hypocritical?

In the end, Lu Jingyao braced herself and said: "At that time... the country advocated freedom of marriage... I didn't break the law..."

"Of course you didn't break the law,"

Watching Wen Leyu decisively acknowledged Lu Jingyao's defense, but before Lu Jingyao could react, she said with a smile: "Then did we break the law?"

"Don't worry, we will definitely not wrong Lu Zixue; we will definitely investigate the facts clearly and give you, your brother, and Li Ye... a fair and just justice."

"."

"You want justice? Can't I want justice? My father almost died; can't I go and ask Li Ye? Even if it has nothing to do with Li Ye, can't I even ask?"

Lu Jingyao collapsed; she really collapsed.

Her father is lying in a hospital bed, and she is powerless. Does she not even have the qualification to look for the reason?

Now her brother is about to suffer, and she is powerless again. She just wanted to apologize and explain, but what she got in return was intense humiliation. What did she do wrong?

Is it just because of the one time she called off the engagement back then that she has no reason to speak of forever?

But Watching Wen Leyu said relentlessly: "Your father is dying, so you go to Li Ye to ask for the reason. Then when Li Ye was dying back then, did he go to you to ask for the reason?"

"."

Lu Jingyao shuddered and blurted out: "How was he dying?"

The matter of calling off the engagement had already burdened Lu Jingyao with a heavy debt of conscience. If something happened to Li Ye, she wouldn't know how to repay it.

Watching Wen Leyu looked at the dazed Lu Jingyao and said hatefully: "At that time, you were instigated by your roommate to send Li Ye forty-five yuan, and then he had a high fever in the dormitory for two days and one night.

If Li Dayong hadn't discovered something was wrong and taken him to the school infirmary, he might have died. Did the Li family go to ask you? Do you think if the Li family went to ask your family, how would they ask?"

"."

Lu Jingyao was stunned, and the thought "What does Li Ye's fever have to do with my forty-five yuan" flashed through her mind, but the next moment, she was dumbfounded.

Her father fell off his motorcycle and hit his head; what does that have to do with Li Ye?

Li Ye didn't die, so did her father die?

These tangled grievances, who is right and who is wrong?

Lu Jingyao cried, and while crying, she said: "What do you want? What do I have to do to repay the debt I owe Li Ye back then? My brother has nothing to do with my affairs..."

"You can't repay it! Because time cannot flow backward!"

Facing Lu Jingyao, who was crying and collapsing, Watching Wen Leyu had no pity.

"There is no regret medicine for sale in this world. Don't think your apology is noble. I tell you, since you did something wrong, you must accept the punishment you deserve.

Your brother Lu Zixue is the same. If he is not wrong, we will definitely not wrong him; if he is wrong, no compensation can save him."

Watching Wen Leyu approached Lu Jingyao, almost face-to-face with her, and said extremely calmly: "I'll give you an idea! You hurry up and take that brother of yours and roll overseas. Anyway, you are all speculators who worship foreign things. Just pretend the country was blind and raised two ingrates like you."

"."

Lu Jingyao finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Calling off the engagement and going abroad were the two important decisions she made to break free from shackles and run toward freedom, but now, in Watching Wen Leyu's mouth, they have all become her crimes.

And it wasn't over yet. Watching Wen Leyu lowered her head and stared at Lu Jingyao: "There is one more thing I must tell you. Now all matters related to 'A Song of Ice and Fire' are my responsibility.

Ms. Jonina will come to the mainland for academic exchanges recently. Stay away from my man in the future. I am not a kind gentleman like Li Ye; I am very petty."

"."

Lu Jingyao raised her head blankly and stared at Watching Wen Leyu in a daze.

She is not a fool; she naturally understands what Watching Wen Leyu means.

Watching Wen Leyu is threatening Lu Jingyao, saying she can destroy her life at any time and make her return to the situation of washing dishes in a restaurant from being a successful middle-class person.

So what should she do?

Raise her neck stubbornly and take the initiative to resign from the job as Jonina's agent?

The two stared at each other quietly for a long time, and Watching Wen Leyu stood up straight with a smile.

"I won't chat with you today; I still have to go home to feed my child! Goodbye, Sister Jingyao."

"."

Lu Jingyao watched Watching Wen Leyu walk away with light steps, and suddenly felt that Watching Wen Leyu was showing off to her.

That's right, it was showing off.

Showing off that she had obtained the man who once had eyes full of her, Lu Jingyao.
