Human Greed - Chapter 109
When the assistant knocked on the door, Su Yi was still being pressed down by Xu Ruoxing. The sweet smell of fruit wine was on the tip of her tongue. Su Yi put her arms around Xu Ruoxing’s neck, half hanging on her chest. Xu Ruoxing laughed: “I’m going to open the door.”
Su Yi let go of her with a cry, and kissed her on the lips when she got up, Xu Ruoxing wanted to laugh, but held back, tidied up and opened the door, Su Yi slipped into the lounge next to her with the wine.
The layout of the lounge is simple, and you can see the bottom at a glance. It is usually used by Xu Ruoxing to rest. Last time, the traces of the two people’s ups and downs were cleaned very clean. Su Yi sat by the bed and listened to the unclear chat outside.
There have been moments like this before.
She hid in a corner of the house and secretly listened to the quarrel between Pei Yiran and Su Changhe. She didn’t dare to go forward to persuade the quarrel, but dared to hide in the room silently, listening to the louder and louder quarrel outside.
She heard Pei Yiran say that she regretted giving birth to her, and Su Changhe said that if you don’t want her, you can give it away, and she was trembling all over, squatting on the ground, hugging her knees.
Now those memories, so clear in an instant, made her feel less painful.
Su Yi sat by the bed, took a sip of the fruit wine, the sweet taste was the same as Xu Ruoxing’s.
In the office, Xu Ruoxing listened to the assistant’s report: “Mr. Xu, Ryan has sent you another message. I hope to get your reply before tonight.”
Xu Ruoxing said, “Reply to them the morning after tomorrow.”
The assistant nodded: “Okay, Xiu Zhan, are you coming?”
Xu Ruoxing said, “I let Mr. Li pass by.”
The assistant wrote down: “Also, Huaihai has always wanted to ask you to meet.”
Xu Ruoxing asked her, “Has the new person in charge of Huaihai arrived?”
The assistant said: “The news is here tonight, and their lawyer is also here tonight, and has sent you a message.”
Xu Ruoxing nodded: “Huaihai has postponed it for the time being, and we will talk about it when the person in charge comes over.”
The assistant responded: “Okay, I’m going out first if there’s nothing else to do.”
Xu Ruoxing watched her leave the office, and when she heard the sound of the door closing, she looked towards the lounge. The door was closed without any gaps. She walked to the door and shouted: “Su Yi?”
No one answered her inside.
Xu Ruoxing pressed the doorknob: “Su Yi.”
The doorknob was turned from the inside, and Su Yi poked her head out. She had a fair and pretty face with a slight smile, and her eyes were filled with joy. Xu Ruoxing’s heart beat suddenly two beats faster. Su Yi has always been stable and mature in the company, even with a little Indifferent, now suddenly smiling, with a playful look, Xu Ruoxing didn’t react for two seconds.
Her nerves tensed, Su Yi asked: “Is it over?”
Xu Ruoxing suddenly wanted to hug her.
She took two steps closer and hugged Su Yi.
Su Yi was inexplicably in her arms: “What are you doing?”
Xu Ruoxing didn’t know what was wrong with her. She just hugged Su Yi, buried her face in her neck, and kissed her. Su Yi’s voice changed a little: “Mr. Xu, this is at the company.”
“Well, I know.” Xu Ruoxing said, “I know this is the company.”
It’s just that I suddenly couldn’t hold back the urge to hug her, and it came quickly and quickly. Suddenly, Su Yi was stuffed in her arms, stretched out his arms to hug Xu Ruoxing, raised his head and asked, “Are you drunk?”
Xu Ruoxing said: “I haven’t exaggerated that much.”
It’s only a sip of fruit wine, she really shouldn’t be like this.
Su Yi said: “That’s not necessarily true.”
Xu Ruoxing looked at her: “Why not sure?”
Su Yi leaned into her ear: “Everyone gets drunk if they don’t get drunk.”
Xu Ruoxing’s ears were numb, and the itch in her heart was provoked again. She hugged Su Yi and walked two steps in, kicked the door with her heel, and the door closed with a click.
In the small world of the two of them, the aroma of fruit wine was particularly obvious, mixed with the aromas of their bodies, and mixed into a scent of confusion and obsession, Xu Ruoxing always hugged Su Yi and fell into the gentle land.
The busy work outside the door was still going on. Li Chen walked past Xu Ruoxing’s office three times, but didn’t go in. When he returned to the office, the secretary said, “Mr. Li, Chen Jin has started contacting Pei Lu.”
She looked at the information and said: “Chen Jin is also a difficult character. This is her qualifications in other provinces in the past few years. It is not easy.”
Li Chen took the documents and asked the secretary: “I heard they had a good relationship before?”
The secretary nodded: “Yes, according to what I heard, they had a very good relationship when they were in school. Later, after Pei Lu got married, she applied to go abroad for a few years. Later, she helped Pei Lu’s divorce lawsuit. Speaking of which, Director Su should know Chen Jin.”
Li Chen asked: “Then why did they break up?”
The secretary said: “There is no word about the breakup. I only heard that Chen Jin went to other provinces not long after the divorce lawsuit and never came back.”
After all, it is someone else’s private matter, and they can’t inquire too much.
The secretary asked: “Mr. Li, are you worried that Pei Lu will miss her old relationship…”
Li Chen said: “Pei Lu knows what to do.”
It’s just their routine to investigate the details of each partner and opponent. Li Chen said: “Go and check again, don’t miss the details.”
The secretary nodded: “I know.”
It’s just that the matter between Pei Yiran and Chen Jin happened many years ago. It’s really not easy to find out. The news is mixed with true and false. I’m afraid only the person involved will know what’s going on.
Pei still sat in the office, listening to the assistant knock on the door and said: “Pei Lu, Chen Lu asked if you are free tonight.”
This is the fourth time I have asked her today.
Why is she still the same as before.
Pei Yiran said: “No time, tell her that we don’t need to meet before the trial.”
The assistant paused. It was the first time that Pei Yiran had such a firm attitude, but it was unrealistic. Before the trial, the two of them would definitely sit down and discuss the details of the case. Seeing that she hadn’t left, Pei Yiran frowned: “Is there a problem?”
The assistant immediately shook his head: “No problem!”
Although it’s unrealistic, but Pei Yiran said so, she naturally didn’t dare to disobey, the assistant silently transferred the words back to Chen Jin, and Chen Jin smiled on the other end of the phone: “Really? Pei Lu is still so impartial.”
The assistant laughed dryly.
I just heard that the two had a relationship before and were very close, but as an assistant, she didn’t know anything about what happened, and she didn’t dare to talk nonsense, so she hung up the phone in embarrassment.
Pei Yiran suddenly walked to the door, carrying his bag, and said, “Prepare the materials for the rights protection case with Huaihai as soon as possible, and we will resolve it quickly.”
Fair and impartial indeed.
The assistant thought to himself and nodded: “Understood.”
Pei Yiran left the law firm, and the assistant breathed a sigh of relief. Just after get off work, she received a call from Secretary Li Chen, asking her to have dinner tonight.
The two people who were suppressed by the leader huddled in the hot pot restaurant, eating sullenly.
“Hey, isn’t that your Mr. Xu?” Assistant Pei Yiran said, “What is she doing there?”
“What else can I do?” Secretary Li Chen said, “Wait for my wife.”
The assistant’s voice was lowered: “I heard that President Xu and Director Su are very close.”
“Sure.” The secretary picked up the fat beef roll and said, “Aren’t you Assistant Pei Lu, you don’t even know this?”
The assistant shook his head: “It’s not like you don’t know the relationship between Pei Lu and Director Su.”
The secretary looked up at her: “I really wonder why their relationship is so bad?”
“Because of Su Li.” The assistant said, “Su Li is a scumbag.”
The secretary nodded and changed the topic: “Hey, it’s not nice to meet people, but I heard that Chen Lu, who is new to Huaihai, has a very good relationship with Pei Lu.”
Outside the hotel, Xu Ruoxing stood at the door of the company, waiting for Su Yi to drive out. Originally, she wanted to drive, but Su Yi insisted: “The doctor said that I don’t need to take special care of me.”
After all, it’s not a physical problem, so don’t pay too much attention to it. The doctor asked her about her condition in the past two days. Su Yi felt that her tinnitus had eased a lot. It was tinnitus and stomach discomfort before, but now it’s just a short-term tinnitus. Talk to the doctor During the psychological counseling, the doctor said: “Your condition has improved, have you encountered anything recently?”
Su Yi smiled.
I haven’t encountered anything recently, I just shook hands with my past self.
Xu Ruoxing sat in the co-pilot, turned his head to see Su Yi driving, his eyes were clear, Su Yi glanced back at her, and said, “I heard Huaihai changed the person in charge in your office?”
The news hasn’t come out completely, but there are already rumors, Xu Ruoxing nodded: “Yeah.”
She said: “I also changed a lawyer, I don’t know if you recognize him or not.”
Su Yi said: “I don’t know many lawyers.”
Xu Ruoxing said, “It’s called Chen Jin.”
Su Yi was slightly startled: “Aunt Chen?”
Xu Ruoxing asked: “Do you know each other?”
Su Yi said: “Yes, my mother was busy with work when I was young, sometimes she would pick me up from school and even treat me to eat.” After speaking, he looked at Xu Ruoxing: “Has she gone to Huaihai?”
Xu Ruoxing: “Well, she’s in Huaihai.”
Su Yi nodded and said, “I thought she wouldn’t come back.”
Xu Ruoxing asked: “What’s going on with your mother and her?”
Su Yi said: “I don’t know either.” His eyes were a little dark: “I have never been clear about my mother.”
Xu Ruoxing’s heart ached when she heard that, she reached out and grabbed Su Yi’s hand, and said, “It’s okay if you don’t know, no matter what their relationship was before, it won’t affect this lawsuit.”
Su Yi nodded: “In business affairs, she has a sense of proportion.”
Xu Ruoxing laughed, “I’m not worried about her.” She said slowly, “Su Yi, I’m worried about you.”
“You just got better now, and when you meet someone from before…”
Su Yi understood: “I’m fine.”
The car drove into the community, Su Yi parked the car, looked at Xu Ruoxing, and said: “I’m really okay.” Her eyes were clear and bright, there was no pain in her, only some calmness, Xu Ruoxing’s uneasy mood eased, and she got off with Su Yi car.
When she arrived at the door, Su Yi received a call from the doorman, saying that there was a courier for a few days, but she didn’t answer the previous call. Su Yi remembered that she was busy a few days ago and hadn’t answered, so she and Xu Ruoxing went downstairs to pick up the courier.
Xu Ruoxing carried the package: “What is it?”
Su Yi thought for a while: “I haven’t shopped recently…” Before she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, and took the package from Xu Ruoxing: “It’s clothes, right?”
Xu Ruoxing didn’t care, and went to the bathroom after entering the door. When she came out, Su Yi lay beside the door and looked at her, with her hands behind her back, Xu Ruoxing laughed: “What are you doing here?”
Su Yi said: “Honey, help me try on some clothes?”
Xu Ruoxing said sweetly, “Okay.”
Su Yi came out with a piece of clothing behind her, Xu Ruoxing was slightly startled, her ears turned red, she looked at Su Yi, Su Yi asked: “How are you?”
Xu Ruoxing pursed his lips: “Okay.”
