She pushed the oolong tea that she had bought in advance in front of him. &Quot; have a seat. Have something to drink first. &Quot;
Obviously, there was no rush to be honest with him.
Xu Jialu pulled out a chair and sat down. He took a sip of the oolong tea and glanced at the woman who was packing her things.
“You knew I would come to you.”
Lin Wanying packed her things, took a sip of her coffee, and slowly said, ” “The onlooker sees more.”
“Then you also know what I’m here to say.” Xu Jialu’s lazy voice was calm, without a trace of guilt or self-blame.
“I know.” Lin Wanying answered without hesitation, ” I agree to it too. &Quot;
Xu Jialu squinted his eyes and looked at her again. &Quot; you promised to be my girlfriend back then. Even when we were together, you didn’t ask anything of me. Now that we’ve broken up, you’re so quick to agree … &Quot;
He paused and changed the topic. &Quot; tell me, what are your conditions? ”
Lin Wanying took out the card that he had given her earlier from her bag. &Quot; other than the dinner that night and the bag that was worth 30000 dollars, I didn’t touch a single cent more. Consider it payment for my hard work in cooperating with you during this period of time. &Quot;
Xu Jialu lowered his eyes and glanced at the card on the table. He didn’t say anything, and it was obvious that he had more to say.
&Quot; as for the price of me helping you understand your inner feelings, that’s another price. &Quot; Lin Wanying was a clear-headed woman with a clear goal in mind. Everything in this world had its price, including herself.
&Quot; su lanxu made me lose my director position. Now you’re compensating me. This request isn’t too much, is it? ”
Even though she managed to get su Lan Xu’s job, she still lost her position as the director. However, she wasn’t someone who would give up easily.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to graduate from an unranked University, jump ship to work in a company, and get to where she was today. However, with her hard work and ability, she would never be able to compare to those connections.
A few years ago, she could still be proud and arrogant, thinking that her talent would not be buried. However, after time, she deeply realized that talent alone could not go far. She could only be a designer who took on small orders for the rest of her life. She would always be trampled under the feet of others, and even be doubted by those who did not understand design.
She didn’t want to be like this forever.
Xu Jialu was the most important person in the network she had built. With his favor, she would not have to be so careful and compromise in the future.
Xu Jialu nodded. &Quot; not too much, but I’m not in charge of the company below, so I need some time. &Quot;
If he wanted to replace her, he had to do it at the right time.
Lin Wanying chuckled. &Quot; it’s alright. I’m quite patient. &Quot;
Xu Jialu finished the tea in one breath, put down the cup, picked up the card, and stood up. &Quot; “Then that’s it.”
Lin Wanying stood up and extended her hand. &Quot; thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. &Quot;
Xu Jialu’s gaze fell on her fair hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, he shook it. &Quot; you’re different from the women I’ve known before. &Quot;
The girls he had met in the past were either clamoring to buy this and that, or complaining that he didn’t have time to spend with her. When they broke up, they cried, made a fuss, and hung themselves. After a few times, he was no longer interested in dating.
“Actually, there’s not much difference.” Lin Wanying retracted her hand and said calmly, ” “I just have a different goal from them.”
Other girls wanted money or men’s gentleness and consideration, but what she wanted was a smooth career and a solid foundation for her future.
Xu Jialu admired her calmness. She was much more interesting than those who pretended to be pure.
&Quot; alright, if you need anything in the future, you can look for me. I’ll help you if I can. &Quot;
“Then I’ll thank you first.” Lin Wanying didn’t stand on ceremony with him. &Quot; I wish you success and hope that you’ll be able to bring the beauty home soon. &Quot;
Xu Jialu didn’t say anything, but the corner of his mouth curved up. He was obviously very satisfied with this blessing. Then, he turned around and left the cafe.
Lin Wanying sat down and picked up her coffee again. She then called her friend. &Quot; are you free tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner. &Quot;
“Nothing, I just … Suddenly felt like eating a big meal to reward myself.”
……
Su lanxu did not see Xu Jialu again after that day. She was back to work, and every day was busy and fulfilling.
The most important thing was that she had finally found a suitable Auntie. Every day when she returned home, she would have hot food to eat, and she no longer had to eat instant noodles or go out.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Golden autumn and October. In addition to the national holiday, it was also her birthday.
Xu Youyou had specially called her to stay in the countryside for two days so that she could celebrate her birthday with her.
Su lanxu didn’t have any other plans anyway. There wasn’t much difference between staying at home and going to the countryside, so she agreed readily.
That night, she packed her things and got up early the next morning. Just as she was about to order a car to go to the countryside, the doorbell rang.
The helper went to open the door. &Quot; miss su, a guest with the surname Xu is looking for you. &Quot;
For those with the surname Xu, besides Youyou, the only one left was …
Su lanxu got up and walked to the door. She saw Xu Jialu in a black t-shirt and camouflage pants. He was wearing sunglasses and leaning against the car door with his hands in his pockets.
The sun shone on his body, and the lines of his muscles seemed to be glowing. He was a well-shaped man.
“What are you doing here?” Su lanxu asked after she came back to her senses.
&Quot; Youyou said you were going to visit her. I’m going to visit her on behalf of mom and dad, so I’ll bring you along. &Quot; Xu Jialu straightened his back and walked towards her step by step with his long legs. &Quot; do you have any luggage? ”
“A suitcase.” Su lanxu was still a little confused. Why did he have to go over?
Shouldn’t he have asked Lin Wanying out for a trip during the National Day holiday to improve their relationship and take a swim in the lake of love?
Xu Jialu went into the house to help her with her luggage. He glanced at the breakfast on the table from the corner of his eye. &Quot; eat quickly. We’ll leave after eating. There’ll be a traffic jam if we’re late. &Quot;
“Oh.” Su lanxu nodded and asked politely,”Have you had breakfast? If you haven’t, you can eat before you leave.”
Xu Jialu put the suitcase into the trunk, closed the door, and clapped his hands. &Quot; sure. &Quot;
Su lanxu was speechless.
Actually, I’m just being polite, but you’re really not polite at all.
He complained in his heart, but he enthusiastically asked the Auntie to fill his bowl and chopsticks.
After breakfast, the two of them set off.
Su lanxu sat in the front passenger seat. She looked at her phone to make sure there was no work she needed to do. Then, she took out her earphones to listen to some music.
Xu Jialu glanced at her. &Quot; I have a stereo system in my car. If you want to listen to songs, you can connect it to Bluetooth. &Quot;
Su lanxu tilted her head, her eyes filled with doubt.
“You want to hear my song list?”
“Otherwise?” Xu Jialu frowned. &Quot; I’m your driver and I can’t listen to your song list? ”
“Yes, I can.” Su lanxu nodded decisively and looked at his central control. She started to figure out how to connect the Bluetooth.
Today, she tied her hair into a bun. When she lowered her head to connect to her Bluetooth, Xu Jialu could see her fluffy hair, which was golden and soft under the sun.
