Invite him to lunch
"You …" Shen Junyao was furious, now, her husband had taken over all the faults by himself, protecting Cheng Liyue at all times, how could she not be mad?
But she wanted to say something, Lu Junxuan had already forcefully pulled her out.
Lv Ying also quickly left. Now, she was truly afraid of Cheng Liyue.
When Lu Junxuan and the other two left, everyone in the hall looked at Cheng Liyue, some sympathy, some guilt, some surprise, in their eyes, Cheng Liyue"s figure, once again became tall and clean.
What shocked them the most was Lu Junxuan"s apology. This meant that Cheng Liyue was the one who was bullied the most, and Shen Junyao and her daughter were just a shrew.
"Liyue Sis, are you alright?"
"I"m fine! I"m fine. " After Cheng Liyue finished, he pushed open the door and entered the office, leaving the employees to whisper to each other and discuss nonstop.
Lin Da had also watched the scene in her office. She thought, meeting Gong Yexiao was truly a blessing given to her by the heavens, because she would always be able to hold her head up high when facing this man.
As Cheng Liyue sat in her seat, she was momentarily unable to calm down. She didn"t know why, but at this moment, there was only one person that remained in her mind: Gong Yexiao, she was only thinking about him, grateful to him.
Cheng Liyue impulsively picked up her phone and called him.
At the other end, in the quiet background, his exceptionally low and magnetic voice could be heard, "h.e.l.lo."
"Ugh …" "Are you in a meeting?" Cheng Liyue was immediately embarra.s.sed, she did not expect to disturb his meeting again.
Gong Yexiao laughed lowly, as if he was moving, "Go ahead!"
"Forget it, I won"t disturb you for now."
"Cheng Liyue, you can say whatever you want to say. For you, I am willing to spare ten minutes." Gong Yexiao, on the other hand, did not allow her to hang up the phone.
"I... I was going to say, are you free at noon? I want to treat you to a meal. " Cheng Liyue asked with a smile.
"What is it? Aren"t you afraid that I"ll eat till you"re poor? " Gong Yexiao"s smile was especially clear and pleasant, like the sound of a guqin, mesmerizing.
Cheng Liyue held onto her phone, her beautiful face flushed red.
"I"m afraid, but I still want to treat you to a meal." Cheng Liyue felt that, at this moment, she was willing to pour all the money in her pocket just for the sake of treating him to a meal.
"Alright, I won"t choose the restaurant. You can choose, just the normal high-end ones will do." Gong Yexiao actually saved her money out of kindness.
Cheng Liyue then burst out laughing, "Alright, I choose."
"At 12 o"clock sharp, I"ll come pick you up." Gong Yexiao ended the call and hung up.
Cheng Liyue put down her phone, and reached out to hold her flushed and hot cheeks. Her mind was still a little muddled, and she still could not shake off Gong Yexiao"s laughter.
She looked at the time. It was 11: 20. It was time for her to choose a restaurant.
This time, Cheng Liyue didn"t dare to be careless. This man had lived in luxury since she was young, and her stomach seemed to be even more reserved and expensive than normal people. She couldn"t eat dirty food.
Cheng Liyue found the price on the web to be acceptable, but it was also a bit more expensive.
Finally, he selected a restaurant and the time was almost up. Cheng Liyue picked up his bag and went downstairs to wait for him.
Walking out of the hall, he saw an apology banner hung high up on the telephone pole across from him. The question of apology had been forgotten, there was only the feeling of grat.i.tude towards Gong Yexiao.
The black Bugatti sports car swept past like a ghost. Cheng Liyue"s heart immediately throbbed. Was she attracted to him?
Opening the car door, Gong Yexiao"s body was graceful and lazy as he sat inside. A luxurious top quality sports car with a high end, coupled with a handsome and charming man, was definitely the most attractive combination.
As Cheng Liyue fastened her seat belt, she tried her best to calm the throbbing emotions that rose from the bottom of her heart. She had to be careful, so that she wouldn"t be discovered by this man.
Gong Yexiao"s gaze landed on the banner that was hung and asked her: "Has the Shen family come to apologize?"
Cheng Liyue nodded and answered, "He"s here."
"How did you apologize?" Gong Yexiao curiously inquired.
Cheng Liyue turned her head to look at him. She did not want to mention the chaotic apologetic scene from today, so she said softly, "Gong Yexiao, thank you."
Seeing her obediently say thank you, Gong Yexiao was momentarily caught unprepared. He looked at her with a surprised face and smiled: "Is this the reason why you suddenly invited me to dinner? You want to thank me? "
"Yes, other than treating you to a meal, I can"t find any other way to repay you." Cheng Liyue nodded honestly.
Gong Yexiao suddenly laughed dangerously, and walked closer to her: "There are many ways to repay me, you have only chosen one of the simplest ones."
Of course Cheng Liyue knew what he wanted to say, she was so embarra.s.sed that she immediately grabbed her clothes. She was grateful to him, but she could not do it.
This way, it wouldn"t be fun. He liked the moment she took the initiative to repay her father after he had helped him, so he thought that for that moment, he would be willing to endure it, willing to wait.
"Alright, where"s the restaurant?" "Point the way." Gong Yexiao sat back in his seat and looked forward.
Cheng Liyue heaved a sigh of relief and pointed to the road. The restaurant was not far, and it was not bad.
Sitting in the restaurant"s private room, Gong Yexiao was very satisfied. He looked at the menu, and the prices of the things he liked to eat were unknown, forget it, he would not eat these dishes today.
"You order." Gong Yexiao handed the menu over to her.
"You order!" Eat whatever you want. " When Cheng Liyue said these words, a little less confidence appeared in her limpid eyes.
Gong Yexiao wanted to laugh, but he endured it and did not laugh at her. He flipped through the menu, ordering a few dishes and gave them to the waiter.
"Why do you only order a few?" Cheng Liyue was a little embarra.s.sed, was he saving money for her? You don"t have to save money for me, I brought it with me. "
"I"m not in a good mood for the meeting today. I don"t have much appet.i.te." Gong Yexiao pretended to be annoyed, "What about you? How"s your work these days? "
"Not bad." Cheng Liyue pursed her lips and smiled, causing the atmosphere to become lively.
"There"s some information about your father. My people have found the prisoner that was released in advance and are currently interrogating him. As long as he tells us, there will be information about the person behind him." Gong Yexiao brought her good news.
Cheng Liyue"s eyes shone with an intense light, "I want to confirm if it"s Lu Hai, he"s the most suspicious person."
"My people are collecting evidence. If it really is Lu Hai, then he will pay the price for his actions back then." Gong Yexiao resolutely opened his mouth, even though he did not tell Cheng Liyue that Lu Junxuan had revealed this matter. His substantive purpose was also to borrow her name and then borrow his hands to get rid of a strong opponent for him in Lu Group.
Of course he wouldn"t tell her, if not, even if her father was wronged, she wouldn"t be happy, because her hatred for Lu Junxuan was also very strong.
