His Majesty is Scheming - C203
After painstakingly signing the contract, Ling Mengzhu had thought that she could finally settle the score. She hadn’t expected that Director Yu would open a book for her in front of her boss. It was clear that she was taking revenge on that night’s matter.
Such a stingy man, Ling Mengzhu thought hatefully in her heart. However, thinking about it again, she had indeed made a fool of him that night. The meat that was about to reach his mouth suddenly flew away. Furthermore, with such a huge joke, it would make a person angry.
This time, Director Liu appeared in front of Ling Meng Zhu as if he couldn’t be saved by anyone. He shook his head helplessly: “Ai, I already told you that you wouldn’t be able to get even little Yang’s customer, yet you still want to try.”
“I’m so happy that I gave this kind of pervert a slap in the heart!” Ling Mengzhu raised her head and puffed up her chest as she boasted as if she deserved it.
In fact, she was still feeling wronged and angry. It was clearly that stinky man who wanted to eat her first. She had only thought of a way to escape, but he had actually brought about such a punishment for being fired. Sigh, who asked him to be such a big customer? For someone that even her boss couldn’t afford to offend, a nobody like her should bear the consequences if she dared to offend him.
After leaving the meeting room, Ling Mengzhu packed up her things and headed straight home. Under the compassionate gazes of the entire room, she walked out of the company’s main entrance.
When she returned home, Madam Ling, who was kneeling on the floor, wiping the floor, looked up at her with a puzzled expression and asked, “Why did you come back so early today?” Is the company on holiday? What are you holding in your hands? ”
“Mom, I’ve been fired by the company.” With a sunken face, Ling Mengzhu unhappily placed the items on the floor and heavily threw her weak body into the sofa. She closed her eyes and began to recuperate.
Mrs. Ling immediately put down her work, walked up to her and asked with concern, “What happened? Why were you fired? ”
“Wasn’t it because of that old pervert, Director Yu? Last time, he wanted to get me drunk on purpose, so he failed to take advantage of me. Now, he’s angry from embarrassment.” Ling Mengzhu gritted her teeth as she finished speaking, her hands angrily slapped the sofa and sat up, “Tell me, how can there be such a shameless person in this world? I thought Long Zhenghao was a bastard, but there’s someone even more bastard than him! ”
Upon hearing her say that, Madam Ling’s expression immediately changed. She anxiously pulled her arm and made a silent gesture. Pointing upstairs, she said, “Lower your voice. Mister Long is upstairs. If he hears this, he’ll definitely be angry.”
Ling Meng Pearl was alarmed. Long Zhenghao was upstairs? How could he be upstairs at this time? Had he been fired by the hospital? With her previously loud voice, only the deaf could not hear her!
With an empty head, Ling Meng Zhu immediately looked up, while Long Zhenghao stood at the top of the spiral staircase, staring at her. She even had the heart to die. What a disaster … He was talking about someone like her!
“Ugh …” “Mr. Long.” She was tongue-tied and stammered, “Why didn’t you go to work today?”
Of course, Long Zhenghao didn’t answer her boring question. His handsome eyebrows slightly raised as he stared at her coldly, “I never thought that I, Long Zhenghao, would be such a despicable person in your eyes. Miss Ling, why make it difficult for you to be with someone you hate every day?”
The corners of Ling Mengzhu’s mouth twitched, she was speechless for a long time, but finally, it was Madam Ling who spoke up, “Haha, Mister Long, you’ve heard wrongly. Zhu Zhu Zhu was talking about the one who tried to take advantage of her, not you.”
Ling Mengzhu hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right, that’s right. I just blurted out a name without any warning. Mr Long, please don’t misunderstand.” How terrible, it would be strange if others would believe her lousy excuse, sigh …
Fortunately, Long Zhenghao had gotten used to her evaluation of him, and didn’t expect her to have a good impression of him. He only sneered and continued to walk down the stairs. He opened the door and walked out, disappearing at the other end of the corridor.
Ling Mengzhu let out a heavy exhale, heavily stroking her chest that was beating rapidly, and returned to the sofa. She threw her body back into the softness, evidently frightened by Long Zhenghao.
“Zhu Zhu, if you don’t have a job, where would you get the money to pay rent?” Mrs. Ling thought of a very practical problem.
This was precisely the problem with Ling Meng Zhu. Not only was there no rent, even living expenses were a problem. He really didn’t understand how he could be so unlucky. He had just taken his mother over and now he was out of work. Who knew what would happen after that?
“Mom, don’t worry. I will find a job as soon as possible.” Ling Mengzhu helplessly sighed.
“How about I go back to my hometown and stay at Mrs Wang’s house for a while? She’s fine and warm-hearted.” Although Madam Ling’s words were full of joy, Ling Mengzhu only rolled her eyes. How could an outsider be so enthusiastic that he would let someone else stay in his house for a long time? She raised her hand to interrupt Madam Ling’s words. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m too old for you.”
“I didn’t want you to work so hard.” Madam Ling’s eyes darkened. With a face full of remorse, she said, “When you’re alone, anything is fine and convenient. Why do you think I should come over and give you trouble now?”
“Mom, that’s enough, stop talking. What kind of trouble is this? Don’t forget that you saved my life. ”
To Madam Ling, Ling Mengzhu was as intimate as her own mother. She was already the only one left, and it was unknown whether her biological parents were still alive or not. She was naturally happy to be able to find maternal love from Mrs. Ling.
Like Mrs. Ling, she belonged to a lack of family, so they respected each other.
As for what the rest of her life would be like, she didn’t know yet, so she could only take it one step at a time. She just hoped that it wouldn’t be too hard to find a job, because she really didn’t have time to find one.
After losing her job, Ling Mengzhu immediately fell into the long road of applying for a job. She who never bought a newspaper had also learned how to buy a newspaper. After that, she laid on the table and began working on the recruitment information written on it.
Hu Chang and Wang Xiang had not been here ever since they came back. The main reason was that Long Zhenghao was hospitalized during that time, and even Ling Mengzhu herself rarely came back to live here, so they occasionally gathered outside.
Madam Ling naturally knew Ling’s best friend. As soon as she entered the room, she sized up her bulging abdomen and murmured in extreme joy, “Oh my god, I’ve only been back for half a year. Xiang Xiang is not only married, she’s pregnant.”
“Auntie, she was pregnant before she got married, isn’t that disgraceful?” Hu Chang leaned back in his chair and chewed on a jujube.
Wang Xiang was unconvinced and glared at her, “Hu Chang, don’t think that you’re so elegant. If you roll in the bed with Young Master Xi every night, sooner or later, you’ll become like this. I advise you to calm down for a while.”
Hu Chang quickly looked at Long Zhenghao, who was standing beside him, and angrily glared back at him. “You should speak more elegantly for me.”
Wang Xiang shrugged as she curled her lips, then sat down at a corner of the room with a jujube in her mouth. Ling Mengzhu giggled, and Hu Chang, who could not stand to watch, glared at her, cutting off her laughter.
Long Zhenghao had been dragged into the living room to talk when Hu Chang entered, but all these women were talking about topics that he found unbearable. Just as she was about to leave, Wang Xiang suddenly had an ambiguous expression as she sized up Long Zhenghao and Ling Mengzhu. She smiled and said, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, you’ve stayed here for so long. Are you still going to finish staying here?”
Long Zhenghao’s footsteps stopped as he was taking a bath. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Mengzhu, then turned his head back just in time to see his malicious gaze. He quickly turned his head away and was about to scold Wang Xiang. Hu Chang, who feared that the world would not fall into chaos, followed up, “If they can still maintain the status of a complete wall, then one of them must be someone else.”
As for what ‘that’ meant, she had left a suspense for everyone to figure out. Ling Mengzhan did not want to become the ‘what’ she spoke of, so she blurted out without thinking, “Who said I’m a complete body?”
“Ya?!” Wang Xiang and Madam Ling cried out in surprise at the same time. Hu Chang laughed heartily, “Look, look. I was just saying that the two of them have some tricks up their sleeves, yet they managed to get the truth out.” Speak! Who took the initiative? ”
“Don’t think too much of it, that’s not what I’m referring to.” Ling Mengzhu was at a loss for words, as she felt that Hu Chang was being treacherous on her behalf as well. If only he knew in his heart, why would he yell out? Give them the chance to make use of this opportunity?
Ling Mengzhu helplessly thought to herself. She knew that she was no longer a perfect body, and she had long been taken over by this man. However, those things were like a lifetime ago, they were not in her memories. She even had to wonder if she really lost her body to him. Otherwise, how could she not have any impression of him? Even a little.
“Which one do you mean?” Long Zhenghao suddenly opened his mouth and said the first words of the party. The deep gaze was fixed on her through the atmosphere, as if waiting for an answer.
Ling Mengzhu was getting more and more embarrassed as she was being stared at by him until her heart was burning. Yet, at this time, Hu Chang was still jeering: “That’s right, that’s right, who else are you referring to? A hypocrite still wants to pretend! He has already admitted to it. ”
Here, only Hu Chang dared to call Long Zhenghao a righteous hero. Everyone called him Mr Long, and even Ling Mengzhu, who spent almost all her time with him, did not dare to call him that. This point was very worth pondering over, and she was indeed pondering over it.
The situation was extremely awkward, but in the end, Madam Ling broke the stalemate and waved her hand, saying, “That won’t happen, my Zhu Zhu Zhu doesn’t have this kind of guts. At most, she would dare to hold someone’s hand and hug him.”
“Mom …!” Ling Mengzhu couldn’t stand it any longer and called out to him. Could this be considered as helping her? Seems not, right?
Madam Ling lowered her head and muttered, “I won’t say anything. I’ll go buy vegetables and cook.” With that, he carried the shopping bag and left.
“Auntie, I want to eat crabs.” Hu Chang was impolite.
“I want to eat aquatic fish.” Wang Xiang wasn’t polite either.
Ling Mengzhu’s heart ached when she heard this. She added on at the end, “The big crabs are poisonous, pregnant women can’t eat them, and the water fish might not even taste good. I think it’s better to have lucky fish.” He then chuckled to the ladies.
“Zhu Zhu Zhu, don’t you feel embarrassed? It’s so rare for us to come to your house. ”
“Hur hur, I’m out of work. Please forgive me.”
“Mr. Long isn’t unemployed. We should have Mr. Long treat us to a meal.” Wang Xiang interrupted.
This had nothing to do with him. Ling Mengzhu looked at Long Zhenghao with sympathy, but the latter didn’t seem to care at all. He indifferently said, “When I’m done buying, come and report to me.”
Hu Chang immediately cheered: “Oya! Great! Auntie, you can go ahead and buy a meal. Don’t worry, our financial backer is rich. ”
“Support!” Wang Xiang raised her hand.
Ling Mengzhu looked at Long Zhenghao and laughed dryly. She waved her hand and said, “I also support him.”
Long Zhenghao fainted …
