Yet Secretary Tong was panicking at the moment.
Why?
Of course it was so that her lie wouldn’t be uncovered!
It wasn’t like she was really leaving the country, so how could she possibly ask the chairman to go to see her off, wouldn’t she be exposed if she went?
Secretary Tong gripped the phone with both hands and hurriedly explained, “Because I bought a ticket for eleven o’clock at night, it’s so late, so I don’t want you, Chairman, to go back and forth, it’s too much trouble, on top of that if you come to see me off at such a late hour, Mr. Fu must not be at ease either.”
That was true.
Rongshu rubbed her chin, “But why did you buy it so late?”
Secretary Tong continued to lie, “I specially bought it so late in order to catch up on sleep on the plane so that when I arrive abroad, I can immediately report for duty.”
“In that case, then fine, then I won’t see you off, but before you get on the plane, send me a message so that I can rest a*sured knowing that you boarded the plane without any problems.” Rongshu said.
Secretary Tong knew that she had given up on the idea of going to see her off, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief in his heart, “Okay Chairman.”
“That’s fine, then I won’t disturb the rest, I’ll hang up first.” Rong Shu looked at the time, it was not too early.
Secretary Tong also did not want to continue talking to Rong Shu, the more she talked, the more she felt sorry for Rong Shu.
In the end, she was even more afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withstand the guilt inside her and just confess everything.
So behind Rong Shu’s offer to hang up the phone, she was relieved.
“Okay, goodbye Chairman.”
“Bye.”
Hanging up the phone, Secretary Tong put down the phone, the boulder raised in her heart finally fell back into place.
Mr. Lu walked over and sat down at the edge of the bed, looking at her with a smirk, “I didn’t expect you to lie nowadays, but your face is not red and your words are not false.”
Hearing the man’s sarcasm, Secretary Tong laughed to herself in her heart and said in a light voice on the surface, “You asked for this yourself, Mr. Lu, you asked me to resign in order to keep the chairman from knowing that you brought me here, I couldn’t tell the chairman the truth, so I had to lie.”
“Oh? So you’re blaming me?” Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.
Secretary Tong looked away, “No, I just blame myself.”
I blame myself for not pushing him away in the first place.
I blame myself for not getting rid of the baby earlier.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been what happened now.
She was just curious, how on earth did Mr. Lu know she was pregnant?
And how did he know that she wanted to get rid of the baby?
And he knew it very accurately, arriving at her exactly before her operation.
All of this was so curious to her.
She didn’t know how he knew, and the only thing she was sure of was that it certainly couldn’t have been the chairman who had told Mr. Lu.
Because the chairman had never asked Mr. Lu from the beginning to the end, so the chairman himself didn’t know that Mr. Lu was aware of her pregnancy and had come to stop it.
Then the reason why Mr. Lu knew was open to question.
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Qi couldn’t help but ask when he saw Secretary Tong’s eyes kept flickering.
Secretary Tong avoided his gaze, “Nothing.”
She didn’t intend to directly ask Lu Qi exactly how he knew.
She knew that she wouldn’t get an answer even if she asked.
He wouldn’t tell him.
So it was better not to ask.
Maybe when time had pa*sed, she would figure it out too.
Seeing that Secretary Tong was hiding something, Lu Qi sank his face unhappily, then stood up, “Alright, it’s late, I should go, you stay here well, a maid will come to take care of you in a while, if there’s nothing going on, don’t contact the outside world, let alone go out, or I don’t know what I’ll do, understand?”
Secretary Tong jerked her head up to look at him and her face went white, “Mr. Lu, you want to put me under house arrest?”
Lu Qi gave a meaningful laugh, “If you like it, it’s not impossible.”
Secretary Tong’s face became even more ugly.
Who liked it?
“Alright, I’m leaving, call me if there’s anything.” Lu Qi reached out his hand and subconsciously wanted to pat her head.
But then thinking that she wasn’t Rong Shu, but Tong Xi, the hand that reached out over Secretary Tong’s head stopped abruptly, his expression unsightly.
He didn’t understand how he could want to pat her head.
It was clear that many women were not Shou Shu, and he himself had never patted those women’s heads.
But now with Tong Xi, it was the desire to do that.
It was clear that Tong Xi was not Rong Shu either.
Lu Qi withdrew his own hand and stared down at his own hand for a while, the more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
He only felt that he was crazy. He clearly did not think of Tong Xi as Shushu, yet he also wanted to pat her head.
Lu Qi put his hand down and his eyes sunken towards Secretary Tong, as if he wanted to see what was going on with Secretary Tong.
But after looking for a while, not only did he not and did not see it, he ended up getting more annoyed mentally, and after humming, he turned around and left.
Secretary Tong looked at his indignant back and only felt that he was a bit baffled.
He hadn’t offended him, so why was he suddenly angry again?
At this time, Secretary Tong noticed that Mr. Lu’s temper seemed to be getting worse and worse.
Obviously, once upon a time, Mr. Lu’s temper was very good and would not be so gloomy and unpredictable like now.
Now, he was probably like this because he saw her, a nasty person, was he?
Secretary Tong gave a bitter smile and slightly raised her head to look at the ceiling, launching into a daze.
Over there, Lu Qi walked out of this private villa of his and returned to his car.
He did not rush to drive away, but sat in the driver’s seat, leaning against the back of the seat, raising a hand to rest on his eyes, his whole body looking very tired.
Of course, he wasn’t really tired, he just felt irritable and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It was a feeling that was beyond his peace and control, even as his intuition told him that not only would it not go away, it would even get heavier as time pa*sed.
And he knew clearly that he had become like this because of Tong Xi.
Because he never became like this when he faced others.
Only when facing Tong Xi, he became unlike himself.
It was reasonable to face such an uncertainty that could drive him away from becoming unlike himself.
But for some reason, he did not do that, nor was he even willing to do that, instead he kept this uncertainty directly around him.
That’s why he said he was crazy.
As he was thinking about it, the phone in his bag suddenly rang, temporarily interrupting Lu Qi’s confusion.
He rubbed his face, not thinking about these things that were hurting his brain, and sat up straight before taking his phone out.
Seeing the caller ID, a smile appeared between his eyebrows before he answered the call, “Shushu.”
The call was from Rong Shu.
She had been completely relieved to learn that Secretary Tong was not as she and Lina had guessed.
After that, after she hung up the phone with Secretary Tong, she remembered what a*sistant Zhang had said when she left the old mansion at noon, and only then did she call Lu Qi again.
“Ah Qi, are you busy?” Rongshu inquired.
Lu Qi glanced at the villa across the street outside the car and returned with a twinkle in his eye, “No, not busy, Shushu, is there something you want to see me about?”
“Nothing really, just wanted to tell you that Su Cheng has been beaten up.” Rong Shu said with a smile.
Lu Qi was surprised, “So soon? I thought he would take at least a day or two to do what he was told to do, but I didn’t expect him to beat someone up today after I told him last night.
He laughed with surprise and delight.
