Chapter 1989: What Are You Afraid Of?

Lu Xingzhi and Liang Yueze talked about something else for about ten minutes before hanging up.

It was strange that the person in his arms suddenly became so obedient. When he looked down, he saw a peaceful sleeping face.

Jiang Yao was sleeping in the same position as she was lying on top of him.

How sleepy was she?

Lu Xingzhi could not help but laugh. It was true. Jiang Yao had the habit of taking a nap. Furthermore, pregnant women were always lethargic. She had just gone out to treat Shao Fucheng, and she had been gone for more than an hour. It would be strange if she were not tired.

Lu Xingzhi gently moved Jiang Yao to the bed and covered her with the blanket to prevent her from catching a cold.

The weather in the south was abnormal. The average climate in mid-September was hot, but once it rained, the temperature would suddenly drop and be as mild as spring and autumn.

That afternoon, Jiang Yao slept soundly beside Lu Xingzhi.

Far away in Jindo City, Zhou Hailan and her manager were also very proud.

“What did I tell you? What do you think a country b.u.mpkin could do? I’ve already forced Lu Xiaoxiao to the point where no one wants her, and I’m still fine, right?”

Zhou Hailan was lying on the sofa, and her a.s.sistant was applying nail polish for her. Then, the latter accidentally spilled some nail polish on her fingers. Zhou Hailan was so angry that she screamed repeatedly. Then, she grabbed the nail polish bottle and smashed it in her a.s.sistant’s face.

It was a small bottle, but it was also a gla.s.s bottle. The a.s.sistant could not dodge it in time. The bottle hit her forehead and immediately left a red mark.

The scariest thing was that the nail polish bottle only hurt her face, but its content spilled all over her face.

The a.s.sistant felt aggrieved. She cried as she ran out of the room.

“Why are you giving me a hard time?”

Zhou Hailan was so angry that her face paled. “It’s just a little a.s.sistant; why do you have to use her?”

“You need to rein in your temper. What if you do the same in front of others?

Do you want to ruin your reputation?”

The manager was more rational than Zhou Hailan, so he tried to persuade her.

“What are you afraid of?”

Zhou Hailan said, “How much money do I make for the company every year? Are you afraid that the company will do something to me because I lost my temper?”

Zhou Hailan scoffed. “In this industry, the one with the money is the boss. Look at that man. He’s rich, right? But he’s heartless, right? He kicked me out so promptly, and he didn’t even need an excuse. He said that I offended someone. He’s just trying to scare me.”

Zhou Hailan had been scared for the whole day, but as time went on, nothing happened to her. No one attacked her, so she thought nothing of it.

She had also thought about Lu Xiaoxiao’s relations.h.i.+p with the jewelry company’s Director Lu. It was a new company; what could they do to her?

Zhou Hailan thought that the people from the jewelry company must have been afraid of her. They wanted to build a presence in Jindo City, so they must not have wanted to offend anyone with power in that city.

Zhou Hailan dreamed that Lu Xiaoxiao would apologize to her. She might even bring her brother and sister-in-law. Zhou Hailan had been waiting for Director Lu’s humble invitation for her to rejoin their project.

Even if she did not endorse the brand, she could get compensation from the jewelry company for breaching the contract..
