“Director Li, stop fooling around. Let’s eat quickly. Didn’t you say that you still had to go to the office today?” Meng Yu said helplessly.
Li Zhe sighed heavily and said, “Sigh, we’ve known each other for more than ten years, but I can’t get you to call me Ah Zhe. Sigh, I’m so sad.”
Li Zhe sighed as he carefully placed the breakfast in front of Meng Yu.
Meng Yu felt a headache coming on. He could only lower his head and eat the breakfast on his plate silently. He didn’t expect Li Zhe’s cooking to be so good.
Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu t s expression and immediately went up to him, asking with a smile, “How is it? Do you think it’s okay? I learned it especially for you.”
Meng Yu didn’t expect that Li Zhe would actually be willing to cook for him. A dignified heir of the Li family would actually cook for someone with a dirty ident.i.ty and body like him.
He felt inferior and lowered his head in disapproval. “Director Li, you don’t have to do this for someone like me. You’ve lost your status for no reason.”
Li Zhe sat across from Meng Yu and no longer smiled mischievously. Instead, he said in a dissatisfied tone, “Ah Yu, if you say that again, I’ll be angry. I don’t like you using such a tone to evaluate the person 1 like. Can you stop using words to hurt the person I love? My heart will hurt, very much.”
Li Zhe’s words set off a storm in Meng Yu’s heart. He gripped his chopsticks so tightly that his fingertips turned white.
Meng Yu had always evaluated himself in this way. An illegitimate child who was set up and given birth to, a piece of junk that had been played by a man in public.
Even if Shen Xi and Zheng Huai had repeatedly said that he was not the one in the wrong, did this mean that these things did not exist?
He could stop doing extreme things because of these things, but these things that existed would always be a stain that he could not get rid of.
In Meng Yu’s eyes, Li Zhe, who had a good family background and was a young master of a n.o.ble family, should be matched with a good girl with a
n.o.ble status and clean family background, not with a dirty person like him.
Li Zhe saw that Meng Yu’s expression was not right and thought that his tone was too tough, making Meng Yu unhappy. He quickly softened his tone and said, “Ah Yu, don’t be angry. I just don’t want you to always say that about yourself. I apologize. I shouldn’t have been so fierce. I won’t do it again.”
Nieng Yu shook his head silently and said, “Director Li, you didn’t do anything wrong. You don’t have to apologize.”
Li Zhe felt a sense of powerlessness. He really didn’t know how to make Meng Yu stop thinking about those things, but with Meng Yu’s meticulous personality, he definitely wouldn’t forget those things.
The breakfast atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet. The two of them ate breakfast before setting off for the company.
Before getting into the car, Meng Yu vigilantly checked the surroundings of the car. This was a newly bought bulletproof car. He wanted to make sure that this car would not be tampered with.
Li Zhe frowned as he looked at Meng Yu, who was acting strangely. When he bought a new car in the past, he never saw Meng Yu check it so carefully.
Could it be that Meng Yu’s vigilant personality had been cultivated after all these years abroad?
Thinking of Meng Yu’s bitter days of living in the open and licking blood on the tip of a knife, Li Zhe couldn’t help but feel his heart ache a little.
After confirming that the car was safe, Meng Yu turned his gaze to the driver. To prevent the driver from being bribed, Nieng Yu said directly, “Director Li, why don’t we give the driver a break for a period of time and let the guard drive? What do you think?”
The driver thought that he was going to be fired. His face turned pale as he begged, “Director Li, I still have a family to support. Can you not fire me?”
Meng Yu knew that the driver had misunderstood and quickly explained, “It’s not like that. I just want you to rest. I’ll pay you as usual.”
The driver looked at Meng Yu suspiciously, then turned to look at Li Zhe. Meng Yu also turned his gaze to Li Zhe and asked, “Can l? Director Li?”
Li Zhe smiled and said, “Of course.” Then, he turned to the driver and said with certainty, “What President Meng wants is what I want. He said that he’ll give you a paid rest, so you should rest well. Don’t worry, he won’t give you a cent less.’
When he turned his gaze back to Meng Yu, Li Zhe said with a doting expression, “As long as it’s something President Meng wants to do, I’ll agree to it no matter what.’
The driver was instantly moved to tears. “Thank you, Director Li. Thank you, President Meng. ”
Li Zhe’s doting gaze made Meng Yu feel his entire body heat up, a kind of heat that made him a little embarra.s.sed..
