Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf
Chapter 20 Breakfast for You
Neither of them spoke for the rest of the drive.
However, Liang Yu was no longer as nervous and restrained as before.
She relaxed her body, and her posture while leaning against the backrest became much more relaxed.
When the car arrived at the entrance of No. 28 Lishu Village, Liang Yu saw that Lin Xiao's car was already parked nearby.
Yan Qi stopped the car and got out first to open the door for Liang Yu.
Liang Yu had barely put one foot on the ground when Lin Xiao stepped out of the car, strode up to Yan Qi, and, with an imposing air, asked:
"So you are..."
Yan Qi's condescending gaze fell on Lin Xiao's face.
Lin Xiao's words came to an abrupt halt, and his imposing manner instantly vanished.
In an instant, Lin Xiao was crushed into a soft, cuddly kitten by Yan Qi's cold and stern aura as a superior.
She swallowed hard, and then her words became a cautious inquiry:
"You're the driver who takes Xiaoyu to and from get off work, right?"
Yan Qi glanced coldly at Lin Xiao and grunted an "Mmm" from his throat.
Lin Xiaosheng was stunned by the response and stood frozen in place, unable to move.
Liang Yu quickly stepped between Lin Xiao and Yan Qi, shielding Lin Xiao behind him, and whispered an explanation to Yan Qi:
"She's a friend who lives with me."
Yan Qi hummed again, his tone noticeably softer, and then spoke in a low voice:
"Know."
Liang Yu quickly waved to Yan Qi, said "See you tomorrow morning," and then turned around and pushed Lin Xiao toward the gate of the house.
As you enter the gate, take down the dinner that's hanging there.
Lin Xiao was pushed along by Liang Yu, and only spoke after they returned to the house:
"Could that man be the legendary Italian Mafia boss? His aura is absolutely terrifying!"
With trembling hands, Liang Yu untied the dinner bag and patiently explained:
"I was quite nervous sitting next to him at first, but after spending the last two days with him, I found that he's just quiet and has a cold personality, but he's actually a very nice person and easy to talk to."
Liang Yu stopped what he was doing, looked at Lin Xiao, and concluded with certainty:
"He probably couldn't find a job, so he became my driver."
Lin Xiao took the dinner from Liang Yu and asked as she set the table:
Why are you so sure?
Liang Yu asked in a very serious tone:
"Then tell me, standing next to him, who looks like the boss?"
Lin Xiao answered without hesitation:
"Of course it's him. The way he stands there is like that of a big boss."
Liang Yu asked with a smile:
"So, what boss would hire an employee who acts more like a boss than the boss himself?"
Lin Xiao replied with a sudden realization:
"That makes sense. If I were the boss, I definitely wouldn't hire him as an employee."
After a pause, Lin Xiao became even more certain of Liang Yu's conclusion:
"When he was looking at me just now, I didn't dare to say anything. If he were my assistant nurse, I wouldn't dare to order him around."
Lin Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and immediately changed the subject with a cheerful smile:
"I think he'd be a good fit as your driver; you'd even save money on hiring a bodyguard."
He then burst into laughter.
Liang Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Stop right there, I don't need bodyguards."
Actually, Lin Xiao rushed over here today mainly because she was worried that Liang Yu had hired a young, blond-haired driver.
She felt that Liang Yujiu, who stayed at home for a long time and had little contact with the outside world, was easily deceived.
When she met Yan Qi and found that he was such an unapproachable, icy driver, she felt much more at ease.
A cool and aloof personality is a good thing; it's so much better than that blond-haired guy.
Lin Xiao was woken up by a phone call from the hospital at 2 a.m.
Because an older pregnant woman's water suddenly broke, she may need to undergo a cesarean section.
Liang Yu, still sleepy-eyed, said goodbye to Lin Xiao:
"Xiaoxiao, I'm too tired to get out of bed to see you off. Be careful on the road, and send me a message when you get to the hospital."
Lin smiled and said, "Okay, you can go back to sleep," and then casually closed the bedroom door.
As she stepped out of the house, her gaze casually swept over the neighbor's house next to Liang Yu's, where the lights were shining brightly through the gap in the curtains.
Lin Xiao muttered to himself, "There are still people still awake this late," and drove off.
The sound of a car engine rose in the silent night.
Hearing the noise, Yan Qi got up and walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and watched Lin Xiao's white car gradually disappear on the country road.
Kang Liang stopped what he was doing in the study, got up and walked to Yan Qi's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Young Master Qi, should we have someone follow us?"
Yan Qi's stiff lips twitched, and he coldly ordered:
"Have someone escort her into the inner ring road."
After all, Liang Yu only had this one friend.
When Liang Yu woke up, she opened her phone and saw a message from Lin Xiao.
[I've arrived at the hospital. The roads around here at night are a bit scary; scenes from horror movies keep popping into my head. Luckily, I had another car with me to go into the inner ring road.]
Liang Yu replied to the message.
[It's good that I arrived at the hospital safely. There are few streetlights here, and they're not very bright, so driving at night is quite scary. I'm up now, time to start my workday.]
Liang Yu put down her phone, got up to wash up, and while toasting bread, she also toasted a slice of bread for Yan Qi.
As I walked out the gate, I still saw Yan Qi waiting quietly by the passenger door.
Liang Yu walked over and greeted him with a smile:
Good morning! Did you sleep well last night?
Yan Qi took the bag from Liang Yu's shoulder and replied calmly:
"That's good, how about you?"
Liang Yu got into the car, looked up at Yan Qi, and replied with a smile:
"I slept quite well too."
Yan Qi placed the bag on Liang Yu's lap, and as he closed the car door, Liang Yu seemed to see the corners of Yan Qi's cold and aloof lips slightly turn up.
The two remained silent the entire way.
As Liang Yu got off the car and was about to leave, he waved to Yan Qi with a smile:
"There's a loaf of toast on the center console for your breakfast. See you after get off work."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and headed straight for the elevator.
Yan Qi stood still, his gaze fixed on Liang Yu's back until she disappeared behind the pillar and could no longer be seen.
He got into the passenger seat, reached out and picked up the bread that was left on the center console, gently rubbing the outside of the packaging with his thumb.
It seemed as if the warmth of Liang Yu's fingertips still lingered on it.
A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up in front of Yan Qi.
Kang Liang got out of the car, walked to Yan Qi's side, and whispered:
"Young Master Qi, the executives from the private equity firm have all arrived and are waiting for you."
Yan Qi grunted in agreement, took the bread, got out of the passenger seat of the 911, and got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
When Liang Yu entered the office, all her colleagues greeted her with smiles, except for Li Li, who was sitting opposite her.
Li Li deliberately avoided Liang Yu's gaze, trying to avoid any interaction with him.
Liang Yu really wanted to find an opportunity to explain things properly to Li Li.
Just as she was wondering how to start the conversation, Shi Yue stormed into the office with a laptop in her hand.
Shi Yue walked straight up to Liang Yu, angrily placed her laptop in front of him, and began to shout at him:
"Liang Yu, didn't I tell you the day before yesterday to just pick up your computer from my desk after get off work? I was busy yesterday and didn't come in, so why did you suddenly call the police?"
"You clearly gave me the laptop yourself the day before yesterday, so what's the meaning of calling the police yesterday? Are you trying to frame me for stealing the laptop?!"
A single sentence silenced the entire office completely.
There was complete silence all around.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although Liang Yu was caught off guard, the person opposite her was Shi Yue, and she quickly figured out the whole story.
It turns out that Shi Yue was behind all of this.
The day before yesterday, Li Li was out working, and Liang Yu was going in and out of the warehouse alone. Shi Yue wanted to steal the laptop and frame Liang Yu.
Shi Yue thought that if Liang Yu lost a laptop, he would be fired by Manager Wu.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yu was not the one punished in the end; the company even called the police.
Shi Yue knew the police would find out the truth, so she quickly staged this scene in the office to pour all the dirty water on Liang Yu.
Liang Yu slowly straightened up, calmly looked at Shi Yue, and asked:
"When and where did I personally hand you the laptop?"
Shi Yue was already feeling guilty and in the wrong, and she didn't want to linger there any longer. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make, so she simply went ahead and twisted the truth, saying:
"I had no idea you were framing me by giving me the laptop! If I had known you were so malicious, I would have definitely filmed it as evidence."
Changing the subject, Shi Yue began to make harsh remarks:
"Stay away from me from now on, I don't want to be framed by you again!"
Shi Yue made a harsh statement and walked away without looking back.
Liang Yu followed closely behind, trying to grab Shi Yue and confront her.
As Shi Yue passed the office door, she grabbed the door handle and closed the door. Through the glass door, she mouthed the word "get lost" to Liang Yu.
Liang Yu was unaware that the office door needed to be unlocked.
She stretched out her arm and gently pushed the door, but it wouldn't open.
I put my arm through the handrail and pulled hard, but it wouldn't open.
Liang Yu watched helplessly as Shi Yue left gracefully, and angrily banged on the door handle with his elbow.
When she turned around and went back to her workstation, the atmosphere in the office had changed.
Everyone looked at Liang Yu with a scrutinizing gaze tinged with disdain.
Liang Yu stretched out his arms, picked up the laptop that Shi Yue had thrown down, and walked straight into Manager Wu's office.
As soon as she left, everyone in the office opened their phones for a group chat.
[I never expected Liang Yu would even dare to scheme against Assistant Shi.]
I bet Liang Yu really wants Assistant Shi's position.
[It's not just Assistant Shi's job position...]
[Seconded]
【+1】
【+1】
……
Liang Yu placed the laptop on Manager Wu's desk and carefully explained the situation:
"Manager Wu, I really didn't give this laptop to Assistant Shi. If I had given it to Assistant Shi myself, I wouldn't have suggested calling the police yesterday."
Manager Wu is a veteran in the workplace and knows all too well what to say and when.
After the incident yesterday, considering that Liang Yu was recommended by Dong Xiao, I told Dong Xiao about it, hoping to hear Dong Xiao's opinion on how to handle it.
Unexpectedly, Dong Xiao came in person to discuss this matter.
It is clear that Liang Yu was very important to Dong Xiao.
At this point, the situation has escalated to the point where Dong Xiao, the veteran chief assistant, is on one side, and Shi Yue, the newly favored assistant, is on the other.
We can't afford to offend either side.
Manager Wu could only try to smooth things over.
So Manager Wu smiled and said to Liang Yu:
"Okay, I believe you. This matter was dealt with yesterday, so let's call it a day. You can go back to work with peace of mind."
Liang Yu said "okay" and turned back to his workstation.
When she looked up at Li Li across from her, she couldn't help but feel irritated.
After Shi Yue's outburst, Li Li will probably hate her.
She was just thinking about how to explain to Li Li when Li Li suddenly looked up and met her gaze.
