Chapter 59 – You've been making me quite upset these past few days
Tonight, Jiang Ci originally planned to stay in the dormitory.
However, she had leaked the news about her marriage, which was a breach of contract, and she would have to pay a penalty. Not only would the five million be out of reach, but she might also have to return the money she had received before.
In this situation, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and apologize to Lu Yudong.
Lu Yudong walked to his car and saw Jiang Ci standing by it.
He paused, "What do you mean by this, Miss Jiang?"
"Mr. Lu, I slept in my mom's hospital room last night. The nurse couldn't handle everything alone, and as her daughter, I had to fulfill my responsibilities, right?" Jiang Ci forced a smile, though it was a bit stiff.
"So?" Lu Yudong took out a cigarette and leaned against the car door to smoke.
"I'm afraid Grandpa might worry, so I'm coming home with you now."
A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"You think the Lu Family is what? And what do you think I am? You come and go as you please without informing anyone?"
Even though Jiang Ci had a thousand arguments ready, this time, she was clearly in the wrong.
She had violated the terms of their agreement, which could lead to significant losses, as the interpretation of the contract was entirely up to Lu Yudong.
She looked down at her feet, saying nothing, appearing somewhat pitiful.
Lu Yudong smoked his cigarette, looking down at her, "If you just go back like this, wouldn't it seem too casual? At the very least, you should make a vow, like not leaving without informing me in the future."
Jiang Ci thought for a moment and raised one hand, "I swear, if I ever want to leave the Lu Family, I must inform Mr. Lu in advance and get his consent before leaving."
"And."
"And what?" Jiang Ci was surprised.
"Don't flirt with other men."
"I didn't flirt." Jiang Ci was a bit anxious. Did he really need to use such a serious word as "flirt"?
Lu Yudong extinguished his cigarette butt, threw it on the ground, and turned to get into the car.
That was his way of saying "I'm done talking."
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu..." Jiang Ci took two steps forward to stop Lu Yudong, "I swear, I won't... flirt with other men."
When Jiang Ci said the word "flirt," she felt it was a bit degrading, but she had no choice.
"Get in the car."
Only then did Jiang Ci breathe a sigh of relief.
"What about the marriage certificate? Are you not planning to return it to me?" Lu Yudong asked Jiang Ci.
"Marriage certificate? I left it in my dormitory."
Lu Yudong took out his phone and called Director Zhu from the Human Resources Department, asking her to vacate the 1507 dorm room where Jiang Ci lived and arrange for a new person to move in.
Jiang Ci panicked upon hearing this. It was like a game of cat and mouse; she had just taken out the marriage certificate and hadn't done anything yet, and now she was losing her dormitory.
Lu Yudong didn't mind that everyone knew he was married; he accepted it as it came.
"Yes, she's married, so she doesn't need the dormitory anymore." Lu Yudong continued on the phone with the HR Director, "You don't need to inform her separately by phone; she's in my car, and I'll go with her to pack her things."
After finishing the call, he turned to Jiang Ci and said, "The dormitory will be arranged for someone new, so go get your things."
Jiang Ci had a helpless expression.
The car left the parking lot and stopped at the dormitory across from the company.
Jiang Ci, like a lost dog, took small steps to her dormitory.
Han Lan saw Jiang Ci return and anxiously asked, "Did he give you a hard time?"
Jiang Ci frowned, throwing all her belongings into her suitcase, and said disappointedly, "I've lost the dormitory. He told me to move out. You're going to have a new roommate."
Han Lan sat down on the bed, regretting sending the wrong message today. The new person, she didn't know who it was or if they'd get along.
"I told you, arguing with him won't do you any good," Han Lan said.
Jiang Ci deeply agreed but said nothing.
Back at the Mid-Levels Villa, Jiang Ci returned to her room to do her homework.
Lu Yudong was leaning against the headboard reading a book. Jiang Ci had a question she couldn't solve, so she took her book over to ask him for help.
"Mr. Lu, I can't solve this problem. Could you explain it to me?" Jiang Ci walked over to Lu Yudong, bent down, and prepared to humbly learn.
"How to handle a public opinion crisis? Haven't I explained this before? You weren't even asleep during that class, so how come you don't know?" Lu Yudong slightly frowned at Jiang Ci.
He really knew how to hit where it hurt!
It wasn't enough to step on Jiang Ci; he had to grind his foot in, settling even old scores.
The light shone from behind, making Jiang Ci's face blush and her ears appear translucent.
She licked her lips, not daring to look at Lu Yudong, seemingly focused on the book, "Could you please explain it?"
"How will you repay me?" Lu Yudong's gaze lingered on her face without restraint.
"Well... what do you want?" Jiang Ci suppressed her anger.
"Take good care of me tonight. You've been making me quite upset these past few days."
Jiang Ci: ...
After a long pause, she licked her lips, "Alright."
Only then did Lu Yudong begin to explain in detail.
