Chapter 735 – Distracted

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Zhao Lanlan reentered the city, and as soon as she got home, she immediately removed the cloth band wrapped around her belly. A bright red look was wrapped around her belly, and she stroked it, aggrieved on behalf of the child. Suddenly remembering Mu Feiqing’s humiliating words, the tip of her nose soured and she almost burst into tears again.
Hope is not at home at this moment.
She was really so tired, so tired that she no longer had the spirit to care that much. Changing out of her t-shirt and putting on her pajamas, she collapsed into bed. Hands, covering her eyes, not letting the tears seep out again.
How can he be that hateful?
Because of the finished interview, Zhao Lanlan instantly became the hero of the newspaper. The editor-in-chief is also sure that she gradually in the recovery up, also began to gradually arrange the work down, her whole person also become full. Only, when the late night falls … only she clearly understand, the empty feeling in her heart is constantly tormenting her …
On this day, she receives an interview assignment in S city – a serial murder case in a hotel. Because the incident happened out of town, she had to go on a business trip this time.
I got home at night, packed up my stuff, and looked up at the clock to realize it was after 9:00 in the middle of the night.
Why didn’t Hope come back again?
She goes out all day in heavy makeup. Is she really looking for a job? No, how can she be back so late? Did she go to the bar again to hang out with that group of people? Zhao Lanlan took her cell phone to make a call, but, this time, the call was never connected.
The Other Side …
The hustle and bustle of the box.
Xia Feiqing’s gang of brothers were making a scene. Ever since that day at the old man’s place, no, or rather, after being told by Zhao Lanlan that he had fallen out of his appetite, he had agreed to develop a developmental look with Yu Ningjiao. However, it was just a try! To get engaged, sorry, he didn’t have that idea yet.
He desperately wanted to prove that he could also fall in love with Yu Ningjiao, but he couldn’t tell for what purpose.
A group of people in a row, he poured himself a drink, but more lonely. Solely walked out, lit a cigarette to smoke, unintentional glance, I saw not far away from a dim corner, a girl confused squatting there.
Under his nose was a small poke of white powder.
Her whole body was mentally drained, but she had a delirious smile on her face, and she looked a little fluttery.
A teenager next to her, also blatantly sucking on something, smiled and asked her, “Well? I didn’t lie to you, did I? Is it true that if you suck on this, you can have whatever you want?”
“My dad … my mom … and my DIOR, are all back … are all back… … “Zhao Yuanyuan giggled, waving one hand in the air.
Xia Feiqing’s brow tightened into a Chuan character as he fought to wring out the cigarette in his hand. Damn it, is she hitting salt?
In the next instant, without much thought, he raised his step and walked towards her.
Zhao Yuanyuan was squatting when suddenly, her entire body was violently lifted up. Without waiting for her to come back to her senses, a tissue paper reached out and roughly wiped away the white powder under her nose.
Nor did she look at who the other party was, she impatiently pushed the other party away, “Who are you … annoying?”
“Zhao Yuanyuan, do you want to die, playing with this!” Xia Feiqing slammed her against the wall. The movement was so heavy that her entire body took a step back, her back knocked hard against the wall, pain hit her, and in front of her eyes was a gloomy face.
She sobered up a little and sneered, “Who are you you? Who are you to control me?”
As she said that, she turned around and asked the boy on the side for white powder again. Xia Feiqing snatched those powders over and threw them directly into the trash can, “If your sister sees you in this uncontested state, she will definitely be pissed off by you!”
“Ha, so you still remember my sister ah …” She is like hearing a big joke, slightly lax eyes are very hard to adjust the line of sight to her face. Gradually, to the focus, her eyes are endless provocation and ridicule, “My good brother-in-law … if not thanks to you, my sister now have to live so hard?”
“Which of my sister’s clothes didn’t cost thousands in the past? Do you know how much the clothes she wears on her body cost now?”
“A hundred bucks buys four!!!” Her voice rose high as she kept comparing four fingers in front of him. Everyone coming and going stationed their eyes on them, but Xia Feiqing only stood there in a daze.
He suddenly remembered what she was wearing the last time he saw her at the old man’s house. A wide, plain t-shirt, no more of the old Missy’s aura.
Think of her standing in front of the fruit stand, alone and thin …
The heart, suddenly, hurt a little sharply.
He suddenly didn’t dare to think deeper about the reasons, he only grabbed Zhao Yuanyuan’s wrist and pulled her outside, “I’ll send you back!”
“You fuck off! I don’t want your fake kindness! You’re our enemy!”
Her struggles couldn’t shake her at all.
She continued to make a scene, “My sister hates you, Xia Feiqing, you bad egg! My sister … is not without people chasing after her, there are plenty of men who want her!”
Xia Feiqing only felt his chest getting more and more blocked. The breathing also increased by a few points, and in the end, he directly shoved her into the car.
After buckling her seatbelt, she was still making a lot of noise, Xia Feiqing coldly grimaced and warned with a low gulp, “Zhao Yuanyuan, you shut up now!”
She’s really annoying!
That mouth, constantly reminding him of the fact that Zhao Lanlan hated him. Before this, he never knew how distasteful it was.
Apparently, earlier, she was having a HIGH time at the club, so after cursing for a while, she just collapsed into the passenger side and fell asleep.
Xia Feiqing sent her directly to the downstairs of that old building, without immediately getting out of the car, he just lowered the window and surveyed the house.
This was the first time he actually came here, he had heard Pei Yajun describe this place before, but, he didn’t expect it to be this old. Or rather, he didn’t think that Zhao Lanlan could live in such a place.
He subconsciously looked up toward the 9th floor. There, a dim light was vaguely cast out.
She … is still awake?
Taking his cell phone out, he didn’t flip through the phone book and just dialed the string of numbers. He’d forgotten exactly when he’d memorized the string of numbers by heart.
The other side.
Zhao Lanlan was constantly calling Zhao Yuanyuan’s phone, and just when she was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do, her cell phone rang at first. She thought it was Yuan Yuan returning the call, but when she touched the row of numbers flashing on the screen, she was slightly stunned for a moment.
Surprisingly, it’s him …
They hadn’t contacted each other once since the divorce. And she, too, had long since stricken his number from her cell phone.
Just …
There are some things that are just so burned into the heart.
It’s hard to forget.
Just as she was rambling, the cell phone, which she hadn’t had time to pick up yet, went dark. The ringing, abruptly stopped. The entire room, returned to silence.
And then …
The cell phone, it didn’t ring again.
Holding the cell phone, Zhao Lanlan couldn’t help but lower her eyebrows and look at it twice more.
He was looking for himself perhaps for something? Otherwise, how could the so proud Xia Feiqing take the initiative to call himself?
However, she was by no means going to call him back!
After making up her mind, she casually threw her cell phone away, determined not to care about these things anymore. However, the originally uneasy heart, this time, inexplicably, became even more disorganized. That phone that only rang once was like a stone that was cast into the lake of her heart.
Distracted and unable to sit still.
The doorbell, however, rang at that moment.
Hope?
Relieved, he didn’t slow down and immediately went to open the door.
“Where have you been? I’ve been calling you, you …” Zhao Lanlan’s words suddenly stopped when she saw that figure. Her face stiffened slightly, and her smile had already converged on her lips, “What exactly do you want to do?”
