Marriage First, True Love Later Novel-Chapter 184
184 First meeting with Ling LAN
Although she had already put a hot towel on her eyes last night, her eyes still looked a little red and swollen because she had cried so hard the previous day. When she sent the little girl to school, teacher Chen even asked her out of concern.
Lin Li didn’t have the face to tell the truth, so she just said that she didn’t sleep well last night. Then, she made an excuse that she had to rush to work and quickly turned around to leave.
When she drove back to the company, Zhou han had already arrived. He was in the office discussing the contents of the ten O ‘clock meeting with Special Assistant Xu.
She put her bag aside and turned on her computer. While it was on, she took the mug on the table and went to the pantry to pour herself some water.
When Lin Li came out of the tea room with a cup in her hand, a woman came out of the elevator. She was wearing a khaki windbreaker and a big wavy shawl. She was walking over with nearly 10 cm heels.
Lin Li looked a little dazed. This woman was very beautiful, but the most important thing wasn’t whether her face was beautiful or not. It was that this woman had a very elegant temperament. She was born with a skilled temperament that others couldn’t imitate. She was so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off her.
The woman seemed to have seen her as well. She glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. She didn’t say anything nor stop walking. She walked directly to Zhou Han’s office in her high heels.
Lin Li came back to her senses and quickly called out, ” “Miss, please wait a moment.”
The woman didn’t pay any attention to him and continued to move forward.
Upon seeing this, Lin Li frowned slightly. She thought to herself, even a beautiful woman can’t be so arrogant! Moreover, Zhou han and special Assistant Xu were discussing company matters inside. If this woman came with ill intentions and heard something that she should hear, wouldn’t it be troublesome?
With that thought in mind, Lin Li strode forward and put the mug in her hand on the table. Then, she blocked the woman’s way and said with a serious face, ” “Miss, do you have an appointment? If not, please wait outside for a moment. I’ll have to ask our general manager if he wants to meet you!”
The woman stared at Lin Li for a while, then sneered and said coldly, ” “I don’t need to make an appointment to see Zhou han.”
Lin Li looked straight back at her and said in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing, ” “I’m sorry, but our general manager never told me who’s special.”
The woman sneered and flirtatiously reached out to stroke her big waves. She only said, ” “What if I say I’m his wife?”
Lin Li was stunned. She looked at her for a while before asking, ” you’re Xiao bin’s mother? ”
“What, don’t you think so?” Ling LAN looked at her in disdain, the smile on her lips full of mockery.
Lin Li stared at her for a while, then muttered in a low voice, ” no wonder Zhou han doesn’t even want his parents or friends. Oh my, so he’s been bewitched by her beauty ...
Lin Li spoke very softly, so Ling LAN couldn’t clearly hear what she was saying. Frowning slightly, she said unhappily, ” “What are you mumbling about? get out of my way.” 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
Lin Li retracted her gaze and looked at her with a smile. “I’m sorry, the General Manager is in the middle of a meeting. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you to go in now.”
Hearing this, Ling LAN said impatiently, ” “What’s inappropriate about it? Didn’t I tell you? I’m the wife of your general manager!” As he spoke, he walked past her and headed for the office.
Lin Li stepped forward and reached out to stop her. sorry, I can’t let you in.
what’s wrong with you? I already said that I’m Zhou Han’s wife. Are you deaf? can’t you understand what I’m saying? ” Ling LAN was a little angry. She had never been stopped like this before, not to mention that the other party was just an insignificant Secretary. She looked at Lin Li and said coldly, ” do you believe that I’ll get Zhou han to fire you later? you really don’t know what’s good for you!
Lin Li looked at her and felt a little sorry for her. She had wasted her good looks and temperament, but the words she said and the things she did were two different things. No matter what kind of grudges she had with Zhou han, just based on how she treated her own son, Xiaobin, she didn’t deserve to be a mother at all. No mother would use their child’s ignorance to frame others. Back then, Anran was pushed into the hospital by Xiaobin and almost had a miscarriage. She remembered that in the corridor in front of Anran’s ward, Xiaobin personally said that it was his mother who made him do this! She simply could not imagine how there could be such a mother who would instruct her child to harm others just to achieve her own narrow goals.
“What are you looking at? get out of my way!” Ling LAN glared at Lin Li. She had come to find Zhou han today because of her father’s matter. She hoped that she could use the Zhou family’s power to help her find someone to pull some strings. Although she knew that Zhou han definitely hated her, but didn’t one say that the deeper the hate, the deeper the love? in the past, he was willing to give up his brothers, friends, parents, and family to hold her hand and not let go for her. So this time, she begged him to think of a way. Perhaps there really was a way.
The smile on Lin Li’s face slowly disappeared. Looking at her, she said in a firm tone, ” “I won’t.”
you!!!! Ling LAN pointed at her. She was so angry that she was trembling. Her beautiful face was also starting to become twisted in anger.
Just as Lin Li and Ling LAN were in a stalemate outside, assistant Xu opened the door behind Lin Li and came out. Zhou han, who was behind Lin Li, also rushed out of the office because of the noise outside.
When Ling LAN saw Zhou han, she immediately went up and pulled Zhou Han’s arm. She pointed at Lin Li and said, ” ah han, fire this woman. She doesn’t have any manners at all. She’s shouting at me. Won’t you let me in? ” As he said this, his eyes glared at Lin Li.
However, Lin Li wasn’t afraid. When she glared at her, she just calmly looked back.
Zhou Han’s eyes indicated for Special Assistant Xu to leave first. After receiving the signal, Special Assistant Xu quickly nodded and didn’t stay for a moment. He strode directly to the elevator and reached out to press the floor button. These series of actions were extremely smooth and didn’t stop at all.
After Special Assistant Xu left, Zhou han looked at his hand that was being held by someone. He was stunned for a moment without any displeasure. He reached out and pulled Ling Lan’s hand away. He didn’t look at her and just said, ” “Why did you come to find me?”
Only then did Ling LAN remember the purpose of her visit today. She glanced at Lin Li, who was standing at the side, then turned to Zhou han and said, ” “Let’s go in and talk.”
Zhou han didn’t reply. His eyes looked straight ahead and his brows were tightly knitted. After a long while, he turned around and walked back to his office.
Ling LAN followed him in and closed the door behind her.
Lin Li looked at the tightly closed door. After a while, she shrugged and returned to her seat. She took the cup of hot water that had just been poured and took a sip. The temperature was just right, not too hot nor too cold.
Putting down the cup again, Lin Li started today’s work. She habitually opened her mailbox first and filtered through all the emails in her mailbox. She divided the important emails and roughly browsed through them before making a mark. Suddenly, she heard a ” Bang Bang Bang ” from Zhou Han’s office. . Then, he could faintly hear Ling Lan’s angry roar from inside. Zhou han, must you be so ruthless?!
The soundproofing of the office was too good. Even though it was so quiet outside and she was the only one there, Lin Li still couldn’t hear what Zhou han was saying inside. On the other hand, she could vaguely hear half of Ling Lan’s loud shouts. She only heard her say that she would make Zhou han regret it and that she wanted to take something away. As for how to make Zhou han regret it and what she wanted to take away, Lin Li didn’t hear it clearly.
And just as Lin Li was still trying to figure out what exactly was going on between them, the office door suddenly opened. Ling LAN came out with a face full of anger, walking past her in her high heels, knocking away the stack of freshly printed documents that Lin Li had been sitting on. The papers scattered all over the floor, and Ling LAN entered the elevator without even turning her head.
After Ling LAN left, Lin Li stood up and picked up the piece of paper that had fallen to the ground. She then turned her head to look behind her. She saw that the door to Zhou Han’s office was wide open, and there was no sound inside.
After arranging and binding the documents, Lin Li carried the documents to Zhou Han’s office with curiosity. Standing at the door, she saw Zhou han standing straight in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes looking straight out. In front of his desk, the documents had long been scattered all over the ground. Even the crystal pedestal that was originally placed on the table had fallen to the ground and broken into two.
Lin Li sighed in her heart that the sound insulation effect of Zhou Han’s office was really good. The battle inside was so intense, but she didn’t feel it at all outside.
He knocked on the door politely, but Zhou han didn’t turn around or say anything.
He went in directly and placed the documents in his hand on the desk. Then, he squatted down and picked up the scattered documents on the ground. He picked up the broken crystal pedestal and threw it into the trash can.
Zhou han still maintained his posture and stood in front of the window. He didn’t turn around and didn’t say anything.
Lin Li looked at his back and muttered in her heart that he only knew how to talk about others but not herself. In fact, he still hadn’t let go of the past. Otherwise, what would he be now?
Of course, Lin Li didn’t say it out loud. Seeing that he didn’t have any intention of turning around, she looked at the documents she had brought in and reminded him, ” the contract from the construction material company has been sent over. I’ve placed it on your table.
After that, Lin Li waited for a while. Seeing that he still didn’t turn around, she turned around and left the office.
Lin Li didn’t know how long Zhou han stood there like that. When she went in in the afternoon to ask him if she wanted to help him order a lunch box, he had already returned to his seat and was seriously looking at the documents in his hands. His entire person was so normal that it was as if Ling LAN had not come in the morning. There was nothing unusual about him at all.
Seeing that he had returned to normal, Lin Li acted as if nothing had happened and didn’t mention a word about what had happened in the morning.
