Chapter 157: The Fear of Being Controlled
heir expressions remained calm. Only Shu Tinglan couldn't contain her nervousness. This was her first project after joining Hongzheng Law Firm, and it was a large-scale project that could directly aff...She lived downstairs from Zhuo Yuan'an, and upstairs was Zhuo Yuan'an and Shu Tinglan. 。Lu Yaoyao's tiny head was filled with big questions, and she had already imagined all sorts of juicy gossip. 。She didn't know that the melodrama in her mind was less than one-tenth of what reality held. 。As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, she was being dragged away by Lu Kuo. She kept glancing back at Wen Jian with every three steps. 。Wen Jian was working out at the gym in the clubhouse downstairs, so she was dressed in sportswear and hadn't put on any makeup. Lu Yao looked at her and secretly told Lu Kuo: "Wen Jian is really beautiful." 。Lu Kuò didn't care: "What's pretty about it, it can't compare to Shu Tinglan." 。Isn't it a good idea to have different styles of "
" 。“When they got in their respective cars and were about to leave the parking lot, Lu Kuo rolled down his window and earnestly told Lu YaoYao:
“About Teacher Cheng, don't say anything you shouldn't.” 。Zuo Yuyan has her own plan. 。"
know " 。Lu YaoYao isn't stupid, reporting Cheng Teacher wouldn't be good for her. She should pretend she doesn't know anything, she doesn't want to get involved with the Zhuo family's affairs. 。As a result, Lu YaoYao miscalculated. The next morning, she was still asleep when Cheng ZhiMin's phone call woke her up. 。"Yaoyao, wake up and have breakfast tea with Auntie." 。It's really frustrating, she has a temper that could blow the roof off, but when it comes to Cheng Zhimin, she becomes completely submissive and doesn't dare utter a single complaint. 。Her old man always said that the only two people in the world who could control her were Zhuo Yu'an and Teacher Cheng. 。"Teacher Cheng, have you returned to Senzhou" The tone was extremely respectful. 。"Well, I got back last night..." 。
Yo yo, Auntie is at the restaurant outside your house, come over.
"Okay, I'm coming right away." 。Lu Yao yao didn't dare to waste a moment, she got up, washed, then found a particularly proper dress to wear before going out. 。There's a fear of being dominated, probably stemming from strong shadows left over from childhood to adulthood. 。At that time, Lu Yaoyao didn't think much of it because Cheng Zhimin often invited her to eat and treated her like a daughter. 。Lu Yaoyao and Lu Kuo, like Zhuo Yuan'an, grew up together from childhood. No matter how their personalities were outside, when facing these elders at home, they were all well-mannered and polite. This was mainly because they had gained experience in getting along with elders. The more assertive or rebellious they were, the stricter they would be disciplined. Instead, pretending to be obedient and submissive, no matter what the elders said, they would just answer "yes, yes, yes." The elders felt that they were obedient and gave them less reprimand. 。But when they got to the tea restaurant and saw Cheng Zhimin's face, she knew it was over, over. This expression was even more frightening than an overcast sky before a storm. 。"Yaoyao, sit down" 。"Cheng Zhimin said, her eyes and attitude were like she was going to eat people." 。Lu Yao sat down nervously: "Teacher Cheng... Teacher Cheng, what's the matter"
Cheng Zhimin didn't speak. She slowly poured her a cup of homemade milk tea,
"Drink it." 。"Oh" 。Under Cheng Zhimin's sharp gaze, she couldn't bear to drink any more. She surrendered first: "Teacher Cheng, just say what you have to say. Don't look at me like that, I'm scared." 。At such a young age, bearing burdens that were not meant for him. 。Cheng Zhimin didn't want to beat around the bush with Lu Yaoyao either. She took out her phone from her bag and opened the messages page, then slammed it in front of Lu Yaoyao. "Look for yourself." 。Actions, sounds, and gazes, converging into a dark cloud on the horizon, were the prelude to a raging storm. 。。"In front of me, Teacher Cheng is like Yama, the god of hell. And in the picture, Zhuo Yu'an is also like Yama. I can't afford to offend either of them." 。And who told Teacher Cheng 。"Don't know Then take a good look." 。Cheng Zhimin wasn't so easily fooled. She forcefully threw her phone back in front of him again. 。
She's still a little princess, why is she pushing me Lu YaoYao gritted her teeth and pretended to be completely clueless as she flipped through the photos, one by one. 。All the photos are of Zhu Yuyan and Shu Tinglan being taken in their residential area. There are pictures of them holding hands and taking a walk on the tree-lined path, sitting side by side by the lake, and even kissing in the garage and elevator, which is enough to make people blush. 。Lu Yaoyao was momentarily captivated by the photo. What exactly had she done wrong She was subjected to intense interrogation while simultaneously being bombarded with the couple in the photo showering each other with affection. 。...whether it was the photographer's chosen angle or simply the way Zhuo Yu'an and Shu Tinglan interacted in their daily lives, every photo looked both teasing and alluring. The hormones radiating from them threatened to spill out of the phone screen. They were even more charming than the male leads in idol dramas. 。Tsk tsk, too good, it makes her even more want to fall in love and have such a boyfriend. 。After she had calmed down a bit, she asked,
"Mr. Cheng, who sent you these photos" It was clearly a premeditated act. 。"Yao Yao, I'm so disappointed in you. You knew all along about your brother Zuo and this woman, right"
Cheng Zhimin had been sleepless since receiving those photos last night. She flew back to Senzhou overnight. 。Besides her face, which was tired from staying up all night, there was more anger. 。Remembering when I tried to set him up with someone during Chinese New Year, he said he already liked someone. I always thought it was Wen Jian, but it turns out it's Shu Tinglan. 。Cheng Zhimin received information about Shu Tinglan this morning when she was boarding the plane. However, time was short and she didn't have much detail. She only knew that he was a lawyer who had put Zhuoyuan Technology in the spotlight recently and was also the person who kicked out Wen Jian from Zhuoyuan Technology. 。
"How long have they been together" There had been signs all along, she'd just been too dismissive. 。"Teacher Cheng, I really don't know. I just found out when I saw the photo." 。Curiosity killed the cat, she shouldn't have followed Lu Kuo last night. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have seen that damned love affair, and she could be more confident today. 。"Wasn't this Lawyer Shu in charge of the Whale Finance acquisition case you guys were listening to" At that time, Cheng Zhimin didn't know Shu Tinglan's background. What she was most angry about right now was their concealment 。"Oh, that was my brother Lu Kuo who stuffed it in here. It has nothing to do with me." 。It is said that he was a classmate of my brother's in high school. 。She's best at shifting blame and transferring the heat to Lu Kuo. 。As expected, Teacher Cheng diverted the attention.
"Qining person"
"It should be... " 。"What I need to talk to you about today, especially the photos, please don't spread the word. Just pretend you know nothing about it." 。Cheng Zhimin has his own plans. 。The anger I felt when I saw these photos last night has gradually subsided, especially since Zhuo Yu'an's father sternly warned me not to rush into things. He said it would be counterproductive and that knowing yourself and your enemy is essential for victory in a hundred battles. 。At her age, it's not easy to suppress anger. 。Lu Yao yao heard this and hurriedly agreed.
"Well, I've been sleeping all day, no one has seen me" 。” and he had nothing to do with it. But since she was working outside and not under his watchful eye, his heart remained uneasy.He thought, this is tricky. Love affairs are harder to control than he im...
