She lowered her head slightly and called out respectfully, “Mr. Ling! ”
He didn’t respond to her, turned his head with a serious expression, looked at her suit and coldly asked, “Where did you borrow it from?”
“I …” Yang Shuting swallowed and said, “Borrowed it from a friend.”
“Don’t you have a decent piece of clothing with you? Do you like borrowing other people’s clothes to wear?”
Yang Shuting winced, her gaze blank, then she lowered her head, nervously clutching the corners of her clothes, and answered his question in a low voice, “There was one, but you cut it up. I don’t like wearing other people’s clothes, I had no choice but to borrow them.”
Ling Weihao frowned and furrowed her brows.
“Then the money you earned from your side job should be enough to buy a few decent sets of clothes!” Ling Weihao face was devoid of any expression, he said the words with sarcasm, “really strange, you earn this money, where did you spend it?”
His words, each of his words, were like an invisible knife, stabbing mercilessly and violently into her chest, causing her great pain and damaging her self-esteem.
Yang Shuting raised her eyes and looked at the handsome face, took a deep breath and said, “I’m not like you, you grew up in a noble family, you don’t have to worry about food and clothes, you have a lot of money in my bank card every month, and your life path is arranged by your parents, but I’m different, I live in a poor family, I worked before I graduated from college, and I have to send money home every month. , I have to save for several months to buy clothes. My life path is not arranged by anyone, I just want my family to be healthy and happy. But sometimes we are forced to choose this path where there is no turning back. Even if we are not respected, at least we live with dignity …”
Ah, what’s wrong with her today, she actually lost control, her voice choked a little but not crying, the corners of her mouth pulled out a bitter smile.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that to you.” Yang Shuting eyes gloomy, lowered his head, said hoarsely.
At this time Ling Weihao was silent, looked at Yang Shuting with a deep and scrutinizing expression, this woman, how many things did he not know?
The car drove smoothly on the road, shuttling between all kinds of cars. But the car was extraordinarily silent. They were silent, each with their own thoughts.
The customer they met with this afternoon was from Japan, and his name was Izumiko Asano. So the place of the appointment was a Japanese restaurant.
They followed the waitress in a beautiful kimono to the front door of a room where she knelt in front of the door, she gently pulled it open, spoke Japanese, and made a “please” gesture to invite them in.
When they entered, Izumiko Asano, who was sitting on the floor, stood up with a smile on her face and extended her hand politely , speaking Chinese with a Japanese accent.
Ling Weihao smiled and extended his hand to shake her back. Then they sat down together, face to face.
Yang Shuting sat next to Ling and raised both eyes.
Meanwhile, Ling Weihao spoke fluent Japanese to discuss working with this Asano Izumi while Yang Shuting sat silently beside her, eating Japanese food. It was the first time she ate these dishes, and when she ate the sashimi and used the wasabi spice, she accidentally choked and coughed, after which her face turned red and her eyes were flooded with tears.
Ling Weihao, who was sitting next to her, frowned slightly, patted her back and gave her a glass of water to drink.
Yang Shuting was very sorry that she had made a fool of herself and said “Sorry” to Izumi Asano, and she said it in Japanese, very fluently.
Izumiko Asano was very surprised and gave her a thumbs up and praised her for speaking Japanese well in Japanese.
Yang Shuting coughed twice, smiled shyly, and then conversed with Izumi Asano in Japanese.
Ling Weihao, who was sitting at the side, frowned slightly, not expecting that she actually knew Japanese and spoke it well, only that she paused a little in the middle and made a few jokes, but this made the Japanese guests laugh out loud.
After that, the contract was signed very successfully.
Sending Izumiko Asano away, they also left the Japanese restaurant.
As they sat in the car, Ling Weihao looked at her with deep, interesting eyes, and her face was reddened in the dim light because Izumi Asano had drunk a few bottles of sake earlier. Izumi Asano toasted , but she snatched it away with one hand and tilted her head to drink it. She patted him on the shoulder , “Mr. Ling, you mustn’t drink so much wine, it’s not good for your health. If you drink too much, it will harm your body.”
He was a bit overwhelmed, he went to the restroom, only to return and see two people collapsed in one piece, almost drunk. Asano feathered his hands, letting their bodies roam more generously.
He was so angry that he walked forward, pulled them apart, and called someone from outside to come and help Mr. Izumiko Asano to leave the Japanese restaurant.
The car was just going less than halfway when Yang Shuting, heard him clutching his hand and shouting loudly for him to stop. The driver hastily pulled the car to the side of the road. He pushed open the car door, Yang Shuting squatting on the side of the road and vomiting violently.
Ling Weihao also followed the car, saw her vomiting uncomfortably, frowned, then took out tissues from his pocket to wipe them, and said, “If you can’t drink that much wine, don’t be parade to be a hero.”
He said with a reproaching tone.
Yang Shuting, who was pale, raised her head to look at the tall Ling Weihao, she did not speak.
She took the handkerchief he handed her, and gently wiped the side of her mouth. Under the dim light of the streetlamp, her face was unusually pale.
Yang Shuting stood up, only to feel a blackness in front of her eyes, a kind of dizziness, her body trembling. Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her arm and asked, “Are you alright! Are you alright?”
Yang Shuting was stunned for a moment, she looked up, a handsome face casting a faint shadow, a sort of indescribable phantom. He was a cold, icy man, suddenly caring for her in a gentle, nervous, concerned tone, and she felt a little surreal. She hastily pulled out her hand and grinned, “I’m fine, I’m not drunk yet!”
Ling Weihao’s eyebrows drew together, and he wanted to move forward to support her, but then he withdrew his hand.
He couldn’t bear to see her suffer like this, and his heart suddenly moved.
“Mr. Ling, have you forgotten? This is my job. Like before, when I was in the sales department, regardless of the wind and rain, I have to go to work. I remember one time, Lee supervisor sent me to meet a customer, recommend our brand, this customer , stared at my breasts, at my hands and feet, and then leered at me “Miss, sleep with me tonight, I will buy your brand”, I was furious, I took a cup, splashed him on the face… … After that, the deal was stirred up. Supervisor li scolded me sternly, and I was deducted almost half a month of my salary …”
