Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Lu Xingchen was stunned by the question, and questions that he had been curious about before suddenly popped up in his mind.

Did the phone call from the HR department of Zhencheng Company at that time really mean that he agreed to hire her?

But wasn't his first decision to throw her into the trash?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Li Zhen said in a deeper voice, "You can accept any wine from anyone, no matter where it comes from. Is that what you are capable of doing to work here?"

Even though his tone was unfriendly, Lu Xingchen could still hear his worry, so he explained: "I didn't plan to..."

"That's enough." Li Zhen suddenly became impatient, "I don't want to hear your nonsense."

The words that were about to come out of Lu Xingchen's mouth were once again abruptly blocked.

Then she felt embarrassed. What was she thinking just now? Did she hear that he was worried about her?

This... is a bit shameless.

Since he didn't want to hear about her, she honestly avoided him and thanked him again with a sincere smile: "Thank you so much for what you did just now."

"Aren't you blaming me for ruining your plans?" Li Zhen's voice was not loud but the sarcasm was obvious.

"Then I..." Lu Xingchen didn't plan to drink it. She kept these four words in her mouth. Seeing her memory, she had to explain all these things. She raised her hand and touched her neck and apologized, "I'm sorry."

And then nothing else was said.

Li Zhen guessed what she wanted to say and asked, "What can you do if you don't plan to drink? Even if you escape this time, what about next time?"

This... Lu Xingchen was really speechless. Indeed, in her current job, she would inevitably encounter similar situations. No matter how smart she claimed to be, she could not guarantee that she would be foolproof.

and so……

There's no use explaining.

Prevention is useless.

It seemed that she really had nothing else to say to him.

Lu Xingchen raised his head and smiled at him politely, and said sincerely again: "Thank you very much for what you did just now."

She didn't say anything else, and Li Zhen frowned even more.

Lu Xingchen thought he would leave, but he endured her disgust, took out a cigarette from his pocket, then lit it with a cold face and started smoking.

The two did not argue, but the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

Lu Xingchen felt uncomfortable. The person in front of her should be feeling much worse than she was. So, would it be better for her to leave first? However, she suddenly thought of something else. "Oh, by the way, will your helping me like this affect your relationship with Director Wang and the others..."

"Worry about yourself." Li Zhen said in a bad tone.

Lu Xingchen subconsciously explained: "I don't mean anything else."

"Is there anything else you mean?" Li Zhen asked back with a serious face.

"..." She didn't pretend to be worried, but she really didn't want to implicate him. However, this thought made Lu Xingchen feel that he was acting too much, so he said insincerely, "I just don't want to implicate you."

Li Zhen replied coldly: "It's not like I don't know what kind of person you are."

Yes, yes, Lu Xingchen fully accepted any evaluation of her, smiled, lowered her head, took out a business card from her waist bag and handed it to him.

"I'm at work now and can't be away from my post for too long. If you need anything later, you can call me. Of course, you can also come to me when you come here to play. I'll buy you a drink."

She knew that he would never call her, let alone ask her out for a drink, and she just wanted to end the situation in a dignified manner.

She was already in a bad enough state, and today, he, who was always called "Mr. Li", had to see her "accompanying drinks". She was embarrassed enough without him even mocking her.

So compared to how he avoided her, she was only more kind to him.

As expected, Li Zhen only glanced at the business card she handed over coldly, with no intention of accepting it. As expected, Lu Xingchen took back her business card and said, "Sorry..."

"Quit your job here." Li Zhen interrupted her farewell words forcefully.

Lu Xingchen looked at him silently. What did he mean by quitting his job here?

Li Zhen turned around and walked to the wall, then put out his cigarette in the ashtray on top of the trash can.

Lu Xingchen looked at his stiff back and the cigarette that was put out after just two puffs, and thought that he was upset about what he had just said.

It just so happened that she also hoped that what he just said was not true, so when she saw that he didn't look back for a long time, she turned around and walked towards the door.

"I want you to quit your job here immediately."

Li Zhen's unhappy voice came from behind again. Lu Xingchen stood there for a moment and turned to look at him.

She really didn't know why he changed his mind and hired her, but she could see clearly from everything he said and did that he disliked her.

If he was helping her out of pity, she didn't need it. If he was seeking revenge, then that was one thing, she was the one who dumped him, but she never ruined his job, right?

Lu Xingchen looked at him calmly and said, "There is no problem with my work."

Li Zhen still did not allow any further explanation: "Come to Zhencheng."

Hearing him say this in person, Lu Xingchen's mind flashed with memories of their past, and then these memories were instantly overwritten by time and reality. Lu Xingchen turned to face him and answered with great determination: "I won't go."

"What did you say?" Li Zhen's voice became noticeably deeper.

He didn't like her in the first place, and her ignorance at this moment angered him even more. Lu Xingchen saw it but still smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness."

"This is not up to you." Li Zhen suppressed his inner displeasure and said in a threatening tone, "I am your creditor now."

Creditor?

It was true that they had been in a relationship and broke up before, but she definitely didn't owe him money.

She didn't say anything, but Li Zhen saw through her thoughts and reminded her in a deep voice, "Didn't you take Fang Pengfei's 500,000?"

Lu Xingchen frowned immediately.

Her first reaction was how did he know this? Then she felt ashamed and she almost instinctively said in defense: "I didn't..."

The word "take" came to his lips and he choked.

The reason why he knew about this was most likely because her affair with Fang Pengfei had also been reported to Zhencheng Company, and Li Zhen was probably like everyone else, believing that she had gotten to the top by seducing her married boss and so on.

She now tried to explain that she did not do that, but Fang Pengfei's 500,000 yuan was indeed transferred to her card, and Li Zhen must have confirmed it before taking over the debt.

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath. Even though it was embarrassing, he had no way to explain it.

Her reaction probably made Li Zhen think that she was unable to argue, so he took over her unfinished words with a colder expression and asked in a deep voice, "Since you didn't take it, why were you forced by the other party's wife to not dare to stay in this industry?"

Don't dare?

Lu Xingchen looked up at him.

Before, she could accept his emotions unconditionally because she owed him, but now seeing the cold disgust on his face, her expression could not help but turn cold.

She never thought about it deeply, but later at Ruoxi's wedding, did Zhang Qiaoai find Li Zhen and tell him about her current situation? Now that she thinks about it, she should have.

He probably knew about her poverty and the scandal with Fang Pengfei, so he suddenly changed his mind and let her go to work at Zhencheng.

Therefore, his words just now, "It's not like I don't know what kind of person you are", not only reflected his hatred for her past, but also reflected her current shamelessness.

In his eyes, it was inevitable for her, who was scornful of the poor and greedy for fame and fortune, to cling to her boss when she was in a bad situation.

That's why people mocked her, "Since you didn't get it, why are you forced by the other party's wife to not dare to stay in this industry?"

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath, trying to maintain his last bit of dignity and gratitude towards him, and asked seriously: "If I say that Fang Pengfei and I have no relationship, would you believe me?"

Li Zhen looked at her coldly for a moment and asked, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
