1475 A Step Towards Affection
The princ.i.p.al was so embarra.s.sed that not only was he unable to smile, but his back was also dripping with cold sweat. Fortunately, Lu Ting was also an easy-going person. He said to the princ.i.p.al, “Princ.i.p.al, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. I still have other work to do.”
The princ.i.p.al could not wait for him to leave quickly and take Jiang Yu with him. Hence, he quickly said, “Alright, you can go ahead and do your work. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Lu Ting and Jiang Yu left the office together. When they returned to the fourth floor, Lu Ting heaved a sigh of relief. He said to Jiang Yu, “Thank you for coming to help me today. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how badly I would have been framed.”
“It’s alright. After all, the people mentioned in this article are you and me. If I let it go, it will also affect my reputation.” Jiang Yu said.
Although this article did not mention anything about her, Jiang Yu could not guarantee that some people with extreme behavior would not find someone to check her information after reading this article.
!!“No matter what, thank you very much.” Lu Ting gratefully held Jiang Yu’s hand. ” If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to a meal after I get off work. ”
“No need, it’s just a small matter. Go back to work. I’m going back.”
After saying that, Jiang Yu turned around and left.
In fact, Jiang Yu did not agree to Lu Ting’s request. On one hand, she felt that it was not worth it to treat her to a meal. On the other hand, as long as she did not accept Lu Ting’s kindness, he would keep thinking about this matter.
In that case, he would always owe her this favor.
After Jiang Yu left, Lu Ting’s heart felt as if it had blossomed and he felt very happy.
Although he knew that Jiang Yu had a fiancé, he still couldn’t control his emotions. He seemed to have fallen for Jiang Yu.
“No, we can’t do that. She already has a fiancé.” Lu Ting told himself.
However, no matter how many times he said those words, he could not control the feelings that were growing wildly.
He felt that his relationship with Jiang Yu had gotten closer, whether it was as a friend or as a colleague. As long as he could get closer to Jiang Yu, he believed that he would be able to stand by her side one day.
Even if they weren’t lovers, they were just friends.
If Chi Rui knew that Lu Ting had such thoughts about Jiang Yu, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Jiang Yu left the school. On the way back, she saw Lin Shi squatting under a tree, hugging his leg and crying.
Father Lin stood at the side and looked at her. He did not even squat down to comfort her.
Jiang Yu smiled as she read on.
“There’s no need to stop. Let’s go directly.” Jiang Yu said, “I just saw something funny. It has nothing to do with us.”
The car whizzed past. Father Lin stared at Lin Shi for a long time before he slowly squatted down and said, “Don’t blame me for hitting you. You’ve really gone too far. Every stock that the Lin Group sold fell by 0.2%. Do you know how much the combined decline of thousands of stocks is?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know!” Lin Shi roared, “I only know that you hit me! This is the first time you’ve hit me since I was young, and it’s for a strange woman! Moreover, you even apologized in front of her. Your image in my heart has completely collapsed!”
“I’m doing this to protect the Lin Group! You haven’t gone through negotiations. Don’t you know how to count? If the Lin Group’s stocks continued to fall, it would go bankrupt sooner or later! If the Lin Group really goes bankrupt, our family will have to sleep on the streets in the future! You don’t want to be a vagrant on the streets, do you?”
Lin Shi was frightened by Father Lin’s words. He quickly stopped crying and sobbed. “Dad, are you kidding? Our family is so powerful. How can you be afraid of a woman?”
“She can make every stock of the Lin Group fall by herself!” Papa Lin said, “How can I not be afraid? If the power behind her is even greater, then we can’t afford to offend her!”
Lin Shi quickly wiped away his tears. He rolled his eyes and said, “She has a relationship with Professor Lu Ting from our school. When the time comes, I’ll pretend to admit my mistake and ask around.”
