I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Lu Yining walked through the crowd and headed to the staff lounge.

It's working hours, so there's basically no one here.

Then, Lu Yining answered the phone: "Hello."

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiumin's excited voice came from the phone: "Yining! What's the news over there?"

"There has been no news from last night to this morning. Do you know how long we have been waiting?"

Sure enough, the moment I answered the phone, I was met with endless questions.

Lu Yining was not even given a chance to speak from beginning to end.

Zhang Xiumin's voice was filled with anger: "That's right, this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry at all. But every minute or second that Mu Ze stays in there is a torture for him!"

"How can there be someone as selfish as you in the world? What's going on over there?"

After Zhang Xiumin vented her emotions, Lu Yining's expression remained calm.

The emotion on her face was hard to read, and then she whispered, "Is this what you called me to tell me?"

"Are you expressing your dissatisfaction by accusing me? Or is this the way to get Xu Muze to go back?"

Her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and it could be heard that she was a little angry at the moment.

Zhang Xiumin also said angrily: "Lu Yining, I am quite tolerant of you."

"Mu Ze doesn't have that much time to wait for you! One night plus one morning, he has never suffered so much before. Do you know how uncomfortable it must be in there?"

"What's the news from your side? Whether it's true or not, just say it!"

Zhang Xiumin's tone was filled with impatience.

Lu Yining sneered: "You should also know how difficult it is to deal with Fourth Uncle, right?"

"If you could have solved it directly, I wouldn't have needed to resort to this trick. The facts show that you can't solve this problem even in one night and one morning."

"Mom, how can you put all the blame on me now? I don't have such a big responsibility."

She spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Thinking about these things now, I feel uncomfortable.

Originally, I felt particularly uncomfortable because of what happened last night, and at this moment, Zhang Xiumin came up to me and said some unpleasant things.

As for Zhang Xiumin on the other end of the phone, she obviously didn't expect Lu Yining's attitude to be so tough, and she spoke less for a while.

She was breathing rapidly and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Lu Yining raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and was not surprised at this reaction at all.

After all, this time it was Zhang Xiumin who needed help. If she had her own way, she would definitely not make this call now.

Lu Yining had anticipated this, which was why he was so confident.

"If that's all you've come to tell me today, then you already know that Fourth Uncle isn't going to let you go."

"Nothing else to do so I went back to work."

After saying that, she pretended to hang up the phone.

But before he could do anything, someone called him back.

"and many more!"

There was a hint of displeasure and impatience in Zhang Xiumin's voice.

Although she wanted to scold Lu Yining, perhaps there was really something that needed her help, so Zhang Xiumin's attitude became much better.

After coughing awkwardly, she slowly said, "Forget it if this matter cannot be done. After all, it is really difficult to deal with Sheng Nanting's side."

"There is one more thing you need to do."

Lu Yining looked at the lit screen of his mobile phone, but was not in a hurry to answer Zhang Xiumin's question.

Zhang Xiumin didn't hear Lu Yining's response from the other end of the phone, and her voice became noticeably more anxious.

She yelled into the phone: "Lu Yining, are you still listening?"

Only then did Lu Yining say "hmm", clearly making a face.

Zhang Xiumin on the other end of the phone was so angry that she clenched her phone tightly, her face full of anger.

She muttered and cursed Lu Yining several times, but she spoke as calmly as possible.

"It's true that I lost my temper with you just now because I was too anxious. I just wanted Mu Ze to come back soon."

"You've worked hard on this matter, and you've put a lot of thought into it. If Sheng Nanting won't let go, just do me another favor."

He seemed to be apologizing, but there wasn't much apology in his words.

More of a reluctance.

He almost gritted his teeth as he spoke these words.

Lu Yining couldn't help laughing, his laughter was crisp.

She didn't hide it and said to the phone, "Mom, as long as you understand."

"Just tell me what's going on. I can't help but want our family to be together. I'll do my best to help in any way I can."

She squinted her eyes and looked out the window through the glass.

The Xu Building is so tall that looking at the people coming and going on the street is like looking at a group of ants.

Everyone seems to be longing for life in this building.

But only those who are in it can understand that every step is not easy.

Zhang Xiumin said in a bad tone, "Your father has booked a table at the Yueting Hotel for lunch today. Tell Nan Ting to come over for dinner."

"It would be best if you came along."

Lu Yining frowned.

When I heard these words, I vaguely understood something.

It seems that he feels that she does not have much ability to persuade Sheng Nanting, so Xu Shengli plans to do it himself.

But that’s fine too.

Lu Yining lowered her eyes, her curled eyelashes trembling slightly.

Her brows were deep, and she stretched out her hand and began to play with her fingers.

After hesitating for a while, she agreed.

After listening to Zhang Xiumin's instructions, he hung up the phone.

Looking at his phone, Lu Yining let out a breath and then walked straight towards the office.

As soon as he opened the door and returned to the office, Lu Yining could still feel Sheng Nanting's gaze on him.

It disappeared in just a moment.

She sat quietly in the chair, looking at the content on the computer screen, while thinking about how to tell Sheng Nanting about this?

According to Sheng Nanting's personality, since most of the things he insists on will not change, he will not worry about other problems at least for now.

However, when I think back to what happened last night, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

It might not be appropriate to tell Sheng Nanting about this now.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yining raised his head and looked at Sheng Nanting.

She said bluntly, "Fourth Uncle, my parents just called and said they want to treat you to lunch at noon. Would you be so kind as to come?"

There was a tentative look in Lu Yining's eyes, but he didn't show any nervousness.

Sheng Nanting paused with his hand holding the mouse, and looked at Lu Yining with a frown.

He didn't give a specific answer, but just gave him a faint look.

Lu Yining said again: "Why don't you go?"
