Lan Yanxi explained that she ate a few chocolates she brought along due to hunger and finally convinced Yang He. As an old employee, Yang He couldn"t help but scold her a few times and told her to follow the rules and follow the example. Lan Yanxi lowered her head and kept saying yes.
When they got off work, it was already 9: 30. The two of them walked out of the office building. Yang He suddenly stopped walking for a moment, then said with a ashamed expression, "Yanxi, can you send me home? At this late hour, I didn"t dare to ride my bike back. There were a lot of hooligans on the street where I lived, so I was afraid that it wouldn"t be safe. "
"Sure, let"s go. A beauty like you returning late by yourself is certainly not safe!" Lan Yanxi was happy to help her with this.
"Really? Thank you so much! " Yang He also didn"t expect her to be so straightforward as to thank her with a joyful expression on her face.
"It was a simple task. Besides, we"re colleagues, so there"s no need to be so polite!" Lan Yanxi smiled and opened up her little red sports car. It was really quite small. It was either the cool and eye-catching sports car or the small sports car that the two of them were sitting in.
"Yanxi, did you buy this car yourself?" Yang He sat in the car and realized that the interior was beautifully decorated, as if it was driven by a girl.
"No, it"s a gift from my grandpa. I haven"t even started making money myself, I can"t help but reach out to my family for more food and clothes. I"m so embarra.s.sed." To be honest, she was going to the office for the first time in her life, and she wouldn"t be paid until the end of next month.
Yang He"s envious face couldn"t help but sigh. "It"s really good to have money in my family, unlike me, who has bad family conditions. I have to pay half of my monthly allowance for my family."
Seeing how her words made Yang He sad, Lan Yanxi quickly stopped talking. She said with a smile, "You"ll definitely be able to lead a good life in the future. I should also learn from you and earn money by myself."
"Yanxi, you have a really good character. You are very open and open. You look like a lady from a n.o.ble family. There must be a lot of people chasing after you." Yang He was actually envious of her.
"If I say... Not much, do you think I"m lying? But in fact, there aren"t that many! " In the past, there had been people chasing after her at school, but later on, for some reason, the men began to distance themselves from her. They could vaguely hear that she was boring, rigid, and wouldn"t withdraw from them, and so on.
Later on, Lan Yanxi"s pursuit of men had a shadow over her. Whenever a man got close to her, she would hide far away, no longer giving him the chance to speak ill of her. Over time, the men who knew her all knew that her personality was difficult to get along with.
"Don"t be modest, I think you"re quite likeable. After coming to the office, everyone can become friends with you, unlike me, I"ve worked here for more than half a year and few people have truly befriended me. You"re the only one who doesn"t mind being my friend." Yang He laughed at herself.
Lan Yanxi was stu
ed for a moment. She thought about it carefully. Yang He was indeed not very popular in the office. This might have something to do with her personality.
"As long as you treat others sincerely, there will naturally be people who like you. Don"t worry." Lan Yanxi"s car had already driven out of the city, so she casually asked, "Which side of the city does your house live on?"
"Turn left on the street ahead. After two traffic lights, we"ll be there!" Yang He quickly pointed the way.
Lan Yanxi drove the car to the area she was talking about and realized that there was an old city district there. The whole street was in disarray.
"My house is right in front. Just let me down by the roadside!" Yang He also felt very embarra.s.sed. She had always kept her dwelling a secret, but now, she had let Lan Yanxi see it.
Lan Yanxi stopped the car. After she got off, she said with concern, "The street lights are broken. Be careful!"
"I will. Hurry back!" Yang He closed the car door, waved at her, and turned back toward the path.
Lan Yanxi turned the car around, preparing to return. Suddenly, she saw a few people from the society riding a few locomotives in front of her. They were tilting their heads, looking at her with smiles on their faces.
Lan Yanxi frowned. No wonder Yang He didn"t dare to come back so late. It seemed like this was really a place where humans and fish mixed together. It was really worrying for a girl to come here.
Lan Yanxi stepped on the throttle until it reached the bottom. The locomotives actually turned a corner and chased after her for a distance before scattering in all directions.
"What are these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds doing?!" Lan Yanxi gritted her teeth in anger.
It was fortunate that she ran away quickly. Otherwise, those people wouldn"t really do anything to her, would they?
Lan Yanxi suddenly felt pity for Yang He. Living in such a insecure street, not only her, but many of the people living here would also be affected by these people.
"As a good citizen, I have the authority to bring this up with Mr. Vice President."
Lan Yanxi drove the car home quickly. It was already 11 o"clock at night. The lights in the living room were bright. As soon as her sports car died, she saw a tall figure quickly walking out of the living room.
"Lan Yanxi, where did you go?" Ling Mofeng had calculated her time to return home, but he didn"t expect to return half an hour later.
"I sent a colleague home, why are you still waiting here? Worried about me? " Lan Yanxi put one hand on the door of her car, looking like a playful person. If she were to hold onto a blade of gra.s.s or something in her mouth at this moment, she would probably be accused of flirting with a pretty boy from a good family.
"From now on, you"re not allowed to run around outside, do you understand?" Ling Mofeng was really enchanted by her playful smile. He felt like he was electrocuted by her eyes for some reason.
"Don"t worry, I won"t run around. I know the way home!" Lan Yanxi walked weakly towards the living room with an indifferent expression on her pet.i.te body.
"At present, no one knows about your relations.h.i.+p with me, but this matter will be made public sooner or later. I treat you strictly, not because I care about you, but because I"m worried for your safety!" Ling Mofeng was afraid that she would hate him for talking too much, so he started to explain in a low voice.
"I know, my Lord Vice President, do you have water? It"s going to be hot! " Lan Yanxi leaned on the sofa with a smile and asked.
Ling Mofeng turned around and poured her a gla.s.s of water. I"ll rub it for you! "
"It hurts, but are you really willing to do this for me?" Lan Yanxi asked, looking at him with her eyes as she drank her water.
"Why not? Didn"t you say that you went to work for me? Since you did this for me, it"s only right for me to do something for you. " Ling Mofeng"s thin lips curled up into a mocking smile.
"You ?? Did you hear those rumors? I"m really sorry, I didn"t mean to spread it. I just casually mentioned it to a colleague, I didn"t expect the entire office to be asking me. " It was the first time that Lan Yanxi had felt the power of public opinion. It was simply too terrifying.
"I don"t blame you!" Ling Mofeng immediately replied softly when he saw her apology.
"Really? Don"t you blame me for talking too much? " Lan Yanxi was slightly happy.
Ling Mofeng replied with a helpless smile: "What do you want to say is your freedom. Plus, you said it already, you didn"t do it on purpose, why would I blame you?"
"Oh right, I have something I want to tell you. When I was escorting my colleagues home, I almost got chased by a few men riding on a locomotive. That street is not very peaceful. Can you think of a way to fix it?" Lan Yanxi asked with a serious expression.
"Which street?" Ling Mofeng narrowed his eyes. Danger was clear in his eyes. Someone was chasing after her car?
"Let me think for a moment. That"s right, that street is called East Sun Road. I can"t remember the specific street, but it is still an old city district. Although it isn"t big, it gives off a gloomy feeling." Lan Yanxi recalled.
I know where you"re talking about, it"s just that no one is willing to develop that area. Coincidentally, I was also looking for your grandfather to discuss this matter, and I wanted to destroy that old city, the cost is huge, but this is also an opportunity to build a meritorious service. If I can take care of it, it will be beneficial for my reputation! When Ling Mofeng heard her mention it, he knew where it was. He was also thinking about this matter.
