After he called, Yu Jin's new secretary answered the call. When the secretary heard my voice, he immediately said: "Miss Yu, Boss Yu is still in a meeting."
Hearing her words, I immediately replied, "I'm fine. I just want you to pass on a message to him that I have a gathering today and that he shouldn't come to pick me up from work."
After hearing my words, the secretary said a "good" word on the phone, then said: "After the Boss Yu meeting is over, I will definitely pass on the message for you at the first possible moment."
I said, "Okay, that's it."
After we hung up, I put my phone away and smiled at my colleague. "Let's go."
Having a common purpose and point of contact, getting to know each other is actually very simple. When a colleague sees me say it, he easily puts his arm around me. We are all simple girls, small companies don't have much competitive strength to begin with, so there aren't any points of conflict.
Just as we were about to take a taxi to the place where we were going to eat, a lengthened Ken Lin slowly drove in front of me. I thought it was Yu Jin, but after thinking about it carefully, it wasn't that car that Yu Jin was driving in the morning, and he also didn't like such high-profile cars. Just as I was guessing who it was, the tightly closed window suddenly lowered, revealing Wu Zhijun's face.
He immediately sat in the carriage and smiled at me. "Little Wei, I'm Uncle Wu."
When my colleagues saw this situation, they all looked at each other and looked at me.
Probably curious as to how someone like me could know the person driving such a car. Obviously, social status didn't match.
I felt a bit awkward and didn't know how to explain myself. At the same time, I was waiting for them to answer my question. I hastily told them, "How about, you guys leave first. I'll come over later."
When they saw that I seemed to have something on my mind, they didn't linger any longer. They only instructed me to come when they left.
I smiled at them, and after they had gone far, I looked towards Wu Zhijun who was in the car and asked: "Uncle Wu, why have you come looking for me today?"
Wu Zhijun sat in the car and laughed: "Uncle Jin Tian is here to chat with you."
If it was just a phone call, it would be solved, and we didn't know each other very well, and there wasn't much to talk about. More importantly, how did he know I was here, and how exactly did he find me?
It seemed that the conversation between the two of them that he had casually mentioned was not as simple as he had said, but rather that it had been planned for a long time.
I stood there for a long time. After a while, I smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, it's my colleague's birthday today. Should I invite you out for a meal some other day?"
Wu Zhijun had already expected that I would say something like that, but in the next second, he also laughed and said, "It's alright, Uncle Wu will just talk to you for a bit, it won't take up too much of your time. When the time comes, I'll send you to your colleagues, how about it?"
I was silent for a few seconds. Then, Wu Zhijun's secretary walked out of the car and opened the door, she gestured, "Miss Yu, please get in the car."
I looked at Wu Zhijun, then looked at his secretary. He had clearly come prepared, no matter how much he refused. There was no way he could escape.
I could only smile as I maintained my politeness. "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Wu."
I got in the car with Wu Zhijun's secretary watching me, and then his secretary followed me in.
The car brought me to the direction of my colleagues' gathering. On the car, Wu Zhijun and I did not talk much, but we were about to reach our goal, but he took the initiative to ask me a few questions. They were all very common questions, and there were no special characteristics to it.
After the car stopped, Wu Zhijun and I got off, and he directly brought me to the restaurant closest to my colleagues' birthday party, where he ordered a lot of dishes.
I asked a lot of ordinary questions about my age, when I was a student, and what school I graduated from.
I know that this isn't the main course for today. I just wanted to take the lead and test out the taste buds of the other people's side's side dishes.
After a while, Wu Zhijun held onto a teacup, smiled at me, and said: "Little Wei. How long have you been away from the company? "
The main dish was finally served. I smiled innocently and said, "It's been half a month, what's wrong? Does Uncle Wu only know? "
Wu Zhijun said with a little regret, "Uncle Wu only knows that you're going to be asked today. If you had told me earlier, Uncle Wu might have been able to help you."
I smiled in a nonchalant manner and said, "It's alright. I don't really like this position. After all, if I leave, I'll be free to go."
After Wu Zhijun heard what I said, he put down the teacup in his hand and sighed: "Foolish girl, aren't you wasting the old man's effort? Back then, the old tutor had placed so much importance on you, but who would have thought that this would be the result? "
Hearing Wu Zhijun's words, I laughed. I said, "Uncle Wu, this is indeed a place of regret for me. I was unable to fulfill Grandfather's dying wish, but I think that what he wishes for more is for me to be happy."
Wu Zhijun suddenly asked me: "Are you really happy right now?"
His words caused me to be stunned for a moment. I looked at him.
Wu Zhijun lifted the bottle of red wine on the table and poured a cup for me, "Little Wei. Although Uncle Wu doesn't know about the situation with your Yu Family and isn't really qualified to say anything, Uncle Wu still needs to tell you today that happiness is built on your freedom. When you lost your freedom and were imprisoned in a small world that you thought was wide, you actually weren't happy at all.
I looked at Wu Zhijun without batting an eyelid.
On a night like this, the red wine gave off a scarlet luster.
Wu Zhijun continued: "I know what you want the freedom you want, but without help, you simply cannot get it, and it will be forever. You and Yu Jin, are also your older brother —"
When he said till here, he did not continue, but instead smiled at me twice, changing his words: "In the end, between you two, there is only family, and family means that one day we will be married. Little Wei, don't you think of a way out for yourself?"
Wu Zhijun spoke in a very obscure and vague manner. I didn't know which aspect he was referring to, nor did I know if his words were referring to the relationship between Yu Jin and me, or guessing and probing.
I pretended not to understand. "Uncle Wu, can you explain a bit? I don't understand."
Wu Zhijun held up his wine cup and similarly said with a smile, "Little Wei, you are an understanding person and a smart one. There are a lot of things that you shouldn't say too clearly."
I said, "But I still don't understand what you're talking about."
Wu Zhijun said: "You think that you came down here simply, your brother never truly wanted you to sit in this position. I heard that all the shareholders forced you to sit down, and your brother, under the coercion of everyone, could only choose to compromise."
Speaking to here, Wu Zhijun laughed and said: "It's really a joke. Who would believe you if you told people this? Forget about now, just in the past, the entire Yu Clan has already been controlled by your brother Yu Jin. Even if the incident with Chen Feng happened, who would dare to openly humiliate you like that? "
Wu Zhijun shook his head while holding the wine cup: "I dare not say that, if your brother had sincerely wanted to protect you at that time, the situation would not have developed to this state. Furthermore, with his abilities, it would have been easy for him to protect you under that kind of situation."
He sighed and said, "It's a pity that you don't have this ambition. He might have thought of this and decided to leave it to you."
After Wu Zhijun finished speaking, he looked at me, but I still pretended that I did not understand, and said: "Maybe it is, I truly do not like this position, so for me, this position is not important to anyone."
My reaction was within Wu Zhijun's expectations. Seeing that there was not a trace of anger on my face, he laughed and said, "Alright, Miss Yu's personality is really good, no wonder you two are so close to each other. However, Uncle Wu still needs to say a few words to you.
I hastily declined his offer. "No need, Uncle Wu. I'm feeling pretty good right now. I don't have any pressure, and my job is easier. I'm much freer than before."
Wu Zhijun smiled and did not reply. After a while, he said, "Since that's the case, then Uncle Wu will not say anymore."
I thought for a bit, then stood up from the chair and said to Wu Zhijun: "Uncle Wu, my colleague has urged me to go, so I will be leaving for the time being."
Wu Zhijun said while beaming: "No problem." After a while, he asked, "Do you need me to send you off?"
"No," I said.
After I came out from Wu Zhijun's place, Yu Jin called me at the right time. He was in a good mood, and there was a smile in his voice as he said: "You're already having a gathering with your colleagues after just one day at work?"
I said, "Yeah, a colleague's birthday."
Yu Jin said: "A gathering is good, don't drink, you know your own, just drink and you'll be drunk."
I said, "Okay, I know."
Yu Jin asked again: "What time is it over, give me a call. I'll come pick you up later. "
I said, "Okay."
After we hung up the phone, I threw my phone into my bag and continued to walk forward. Wu Zhijun's attempt to sow discord was extremely successful, but what he did not expect was that, I already knew that Yu Jin did not really want to protect me, and when Chen Feng took over this project, although he had reminded me, it was only a warning. According to his personality, if he knew that there was danger, he would have ignored my objections and decided to end it early, but that time he did not, he merely tapped me a few times and allowed the situation to develop.
However, Yu Jin was not without weight in their hearts. It was just as Wu Zhijun had said, if he was sincere enough to protect me at the meeting of the shareholders, it would be easy for him.
It was a pity that he didn't really try to protect me that time. He only put on a show in front of me and pushed me off the seat.
Furthermore, it is possible that he knew earlier than me that something had happened to the Long Bridge Project, so when this matter had spread, he took care of the only Jiang Hua by my side that could help me.
How could he allow me to have all this, all he wanted was to have me firmly in his control, how could he be willing to give me all this under his control? I had already expected this, from the day grandfather died, I had already guessed that this would happen, so I wasn't surprised at all, and I didn't hold any grudges. I myself didn't have the ability, so I couldn't blame anyone.
When I arrived at my colleagues box, they were playing like crazy. I just drank a little and watched from the side while some of them pulled me over to sing along. I really couldn't sing, so I pushed them away and they gave up.
In any case, there were only a few people in the room. One of my colleagues who was a year younger than me was tired from singing. She came over and asked me who the person who had come to find me at the entrance of the company was.
I knew that sooner or later they would ask this question, and I had thought of an excuse. "Just a distant relative," I said.
The colleague looked at me with wide eyes and said, "All the distant relatives are so rich! Is your family even richer?! "
She looked at me in the dim light and said, "And looking at you, you must have a good family."
I awkwardly explained, "No, my family is normal. I don't usually contact that distant relative, but he had some business with me yesterday, so I came to find you. Don't misunderstand."
That colleague gave me two glances before suddenly reaching out to hug me. "Who cares? Who cares if he has money or not. From now on, we're colleagues. We're all of the same age. We can play and work together."
She laughed heartily, and I was relieved.
Then they took me along to sing, and I had no choice but to sing a few songs, but I sang a little too harshly, and it didn't stop until eleven, when I thought it was time to go back, but then there were a lot of men.
It turned out to be an employee from the opposite company. I was embarrassed when I saw them coming over to make friends.
A colleague placed me in the middle of a man, and then each of us liked the other, so we talked to each other.
The man sitting next to me, probably from a colleague, kept asking me questions and toasting me, even being very close to me, speaking in a very ambiguous tone, occasionally taking advantage of the dim light to come into physical contact with me, which was a bit unbearable for me, but seeing that everyone was speaking normally, after all it was someone else's birthday, I didn't dare to overdo it, so I just sat there and endured.
After enduring for a long time, Yu Jin called again. I heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately found an excuse to get up from the man's side, and went to the private room to answer the call.
Yu Jin asked me on the phone, "Is the gathering not over yet?"
The diaphragm isn't working very well here. The corridor was filled with the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. I took a deep breath and said to Yu Jin, "Not yet.
I looked at the time. It was almost twelve, so I said, "Are you still awake?"
Yu Jin seemed to be making coffee on the other side of the phone, he said lightly: "I'm still waiting for you to get off work."
I said, "I should be here soon."
Just as Yu Jin and I were talking on the phone, the man who was previously in the private box walked out again and pulled me away from behind. "What are you talking about, it's already your birthday cake, let's go."
I think that Yu Jin heard my voice, I couldn't even hold back as he asked: "Who is the one that spoke?"
I was dragged around by my colleague and finally managed to steady myself. "It's my colleague."
Yu Jin's side was extremely quiet. He said, "If I remember correctly, all of your colleagues are women."
Just as I was about to explain, the man who was pulling me saw that I was still making calls, so he snatched my phone from my hand and directly pressed down my phone without even looking at it. I was stunned for a few seconds, and before I could say anything, he directly put my phone into my hand and pulled me into the room, saying, "Let's go, why are you calling me at this time?"
Following that, I was pulled in. After that, there was a commotion in the room. I originally didn't drink alcohol, but I was also forced to drink a few cups. It was about one o'clock and everyone was pretty drunk. After thinking about going to work tomorrow, they separated. That man had been pestering me to send him back.
I had never dealt with this kind of problem before, I kept pushing it away saying that there was no need, but he kept following me, all the way until I saw Yu Jin's car parked on the street. I looked at the man, and I said, "Don't follow me, my family is here to pick me up."
After I finished speaking, I quickly walked towards Yu Jin's car, but I did not expect this man to be so pestered, and just as I was about to pull on Yu Jin's car door, he suddenly stopped me from behind and said: "Didn't your colleagues say you don't have a boyfriend?"
Just as he said that, Yu Jin suddenly walked down from the carriage and asked: "Little Wei. "Who is this?"
I immediately looked at Yu Jin, who was wearing a light colored jacket and khaki pants. From the looks of it, he had been waiting for me at home for a long time.
I immediately walked over to him, took his arm, and explained, "It's from the company across from ours."
Yu Jin glanced at him, then smiled and said: "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
The man was also sizing up Yu Jin, "You are?"
Yu Jin smiled gently: "I am Little Wei's brother."
Seeing Yu Jin address himself as his family, the man immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He even fawned over him and extended his hand out with a smile, "My name is Tao Ping, hello."
Yu Jin glanced at the man's outstretched hand, and laughed: "If there's nothing else, then we'll be taking our leave first."
When he opened the door, the man still wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Yu Jin's secretary and said: "Sir, if you continue pestering us like this, don't blame us for calling the police."
The man glanced at his secretary and then at us, who had already got into the car. In the end, he didn't dare to pester us any further. He could only stand there.
Immediately after, Yu Jin's secretary also turned and got in the car, and the car drove away from the KTV's entrance.
Although Yu Jin's face didn't have much expression, I still explained: "This man. "Actually, it's from the other company. Only then did I know that there's a social meetup in the company today."
He let go of my hand and gave a flat grunt of acknowledgment.
"Are you angry?" I asked, watching his face carefully.
He turned his face to me, and after a moment he asked, "Did you drink?"
I didn't expect him to ask that question so suddenly. I was stunned for a few seconds before I said, "I drank a little."
Yu Jin's face was gloomy, but he suppressed the emotions on his face and said: "Let's go home first."
After that, he stopped talking and looked towards the front of the car. I didn't dare to say anything, so Yu Jin's secretary sat in the front seat and was even more cautious. She wouldn't be like Yumann Ting, who would try to ease the atmosphere.
I didn't know if there was a problem with the wine this time, but when I went back, I was a little allergic to alcohol, my entire body was itchy, and I had a rash. I followed behind Yu Jin, but who knew that as soon as we walked into the hall, we would immediately see Yumann Ting, who had been sitting in the living room for a long time.
At this time, why was Yumann Ting, who should be abroad, here?
Just as this doubt flashed through her mind, Yumann Ting, who had been waiting here for a long time, suddenly stood up from the sofa. She did not look at anyone, her gaze landing accurately on Yu Jin as she said: "Boss Yu, I have something to talk about with you."
Yumann Ting's tone was extremely serious. Normally, when she spoke to Yu Jin, he would subconsciously carry the respect of a subordinate with him, but this time, his tone was actually a bit sharp.
Yu Jin didn't even ask why Yumann Ting, who was far away from home, would suddenly appear here. He didn't even ask her what she wanted to talk about, as if he had already expected this would happen.
He said to the servant beside him, "Prepare some tea."
After saying that, he went upstairs, but after taking only two steps, he said to me who was standing behind him, "You wait downstairs, you're not allowed to go near the study."
Rather than saying these words to me, it's better to say it to the servant that is looking after me. Following that, he brought Yumann Ting up the stairs.
Inexplicably, at this moment, I felt a trace of something unusual. What this thing is, I am not sure, but I felt that the thing that Yu Jin and Yu Jin wanted to say, is related to me.
This huge house, due to Yumann Ting's sudden appearance, had an indescribably heavy atmosphere. It was almost two o'clock, but everything was brightly lit.
Not long after, the servant brought the tea upstairs and headed straight for Yu Jin's study.
The servants downstairs were all looking at me, and for some reason I couldn't sit still, waiting for them to serve me some tea. I got up from the couch.
The servants standing beside me immediately asked anxiously, "Miss, where are you going?"
I said, "I'm going upstairs to rest."
Those servants immediately surrounded me and said with difficulty: "Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. Mr. Yu has said that he can only let you move about downstairs."
I said, "Why? Why should he tell me where I am? This house belongs to the Yu Family industry and half of it belongs to me. I'll go wherever I want to go, and no one can give me any instructions. "
I went straight up the stairs, and the servants at once stopped me and begged me not to make things difficult for them, but to ignore them.
"If you dare to stop me again, I'll fire all of you tomorrow."
They just stood there and did not dare to move. Of course they knew how to weigh the pros and cons, and could not stop me. At most, they would just receive a lesson from Yu Jin. However, if you stop me, I will fire all of them tomorrow. It seems like Yu Jin's words were to sound like an iron order that was as strong as a mountain, but in truth, most of the time, Yu Jin would give in to me, so of course they wouldn't dare take the risk.
They all stood there and looked at me, conflicted.
I stopped looking at them and headed upstairs. Only then did I walk to Yu Jin's study room, and just at the door did I hear Yumann Ting's voice from inside. She said: "Don't you think that your method is very selfish? Using such a method to tie Little Wei by your side, yes, Little Wei was indeed your Yu Family's child, but I believe you should be very clear on whether or not she is really your Yu Family's child. Even if you send me abroad this time, when I return, you must at least tell Little Wei about this matter no matter what. "
The moment Yumann Ting's voice fell, Yu Jin did not speak. The study room was silent for a few minutes.
Yu Jin said: "What are you talking about, talk about how your family gave her birth, and how they abandoned her? I believe that you should be very clear about the situation your Yu Family is in right now. It would not be beneficial to her to recognize her, and it might even be a form of harm to her.
Yumann Ting said: "Whether or not she chooses to return to the Yu Family is Little Wei's own problem, but I am her big sister and I will definitely tell her clearly."
Yu Jin said: "Secretary Yu, if you insist on doing this, I can't do anything either, but I urge you to think carefully."
Yumann Ting said: "I am very clear, I want to tell her that she is my Yu Family's bloodline. "That's all."
Yu Jin sneered, and said two words: "Very good."
When the atmosphere in the study became so tense that even I, who was standing outside the door, felt my hands and feet turn cold, the door in front of me was suddenly pulled open.
Yumann Ting's solemn expression appeared in front of me. She looked at me, and I looked at her.
She unconsciously took a few steps back and even Yu Jin looked over. He got up from the chair in front of the desk and unexpectedly said: "Little Wei!"
I looked at Yumann Ting, then looked at Yu Jin, and my stiff face twitched. After a long while, I smiled as if nothing had happened, and said: "It's like this, I wanted to ask if you guys would like some fruits. Auntie is currently preparing downstairs."
Yu Jin and Yumann Ting probably didn't know how long I had been standing here and whether or not I had heard anything.
Yumann Ting grabbed my hand, and wanted to say something anxiously. At this time, Yu Jin smiled and replied first: "No need, it's getting late, why aren't you resting yet?"
My hand struggled out from Yumann Ting's palm and walked towards Yu Jin. I wrapped myself around his arm and smiled: "Didn't I wait for you? Are you talking? "What? We haven't even discussed it yet."
Yu Jin reached out his hand to caress my head and said, "I have some work matters to attend to. If you are tired, you can enter your room early to rest. You still have to work tomorrow."
I said, "So you're not going to sleep?"
Yu Jin laughed and said, "There are still some matters that I have to take care of."
I said, "Okay, then I'll go first."
Yu Jin nodded, I did not stay any longer, and let go of Yu Jin's hand, then turned and walked out of the study. Yumann Ting was standing at the entrance, and I did not look at her. Under her gaze, she left the study.
Yu Jin came to the bedroom, while I was already lying on the bed resting. Yu Jin stood at the door and looked at me for a good while, but didn't wake me up, and instead observed me for a good while before walking in from the outside. His movements were very light and agile.
I felt that after he went to the bathroom, he went to bed and whispered in my ear, "Little Wei."
I didn't give him a reply. He probably thought that I was asleep and pulled on my blanket, before lying down beside me and habitually embraced me in his embrace. He felt that my hands and feet were a little cold, so he placed my hands on his chest.
But I still didn't react. Yu Jin saw me lying there without moving, he felt him sigh lightly, and in the next moment, his finger landed on my face. He said: "Go to sleep."
The next morning, when I woke up, I was still acting normal. I chatted and laughed with Yu Jin on the dining table downstairs, as if nothing had happened.
Yu Jin did not expose me, he replied me whatever I said, the living room was harmonious, Yu Jin did not question the servant, why did I go upstairs yesterday?
After he sent me to work, just as I was about to get off the car, Yu Jin grabbed my hand. I looked at him and he said: "Little Wei."
As soon as he spoke, I knew what he was going to say. I smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" I raised my hand again and looked at the time. "I'm going to be late. I won't talk to you anymore!"
I took his hand off my wrist, turned around and ran out of the car door. I didn't even turn around to look at Yu Jin's face, but felt that something was chasing after me.
After I arrived at the company, I leaned against the cold stairs and kept gasping miserably. I told myself that everything was fake, everything was fake. That day, I didn't hear anything, I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want to listen to anything.
I stayed there until I forced myself to breathe again, then I moved my stiff body and touched the sweat on my forehead. I took the elevator to the office. As he stood there, his thoughts drifted to outer space.
It wasn't until the elevator stopped and I walked out that I reached the entrance of the company. Before I could make a call, a colleague walked out of the company and said to me, "Little Wei, someone is looking for you."
I put my hand on the card machine and frowned at my colleagues. They pointed to the lobby and said, "They're inside."
I looked over according to her words. Yumann Ting was currently standing there with her mother, eagerly looking at me.
I expressionlessly looked at them. My colleagues thought that they had come to cause trouble for me, so they immediately asked, "Are you alright?" Do you need help? "
I looked at her and smiled. "It's fine." Then, she walked in and stood in front of Yumann Ting. When Yumann Ting's mother saw me, she shouted, "Little Wei …"
Seemingly wanting to say something to me, Yumann Ting used her hand to stop her body.
Her mother stopped and looked at me with tears in her eyes.
Yumann Ting walked towards me. She said, "Little Wei, I came here today to —"
Before she could finish her words, I looked at her and asked coldly: "Who allowed you to call me Little Wei?"
She was taken aback by my words. I looked at her mother again and asked again, "Don't you know I'm at work? "What does it mean to bring someone into my company with you?"
Yumann Ting explained: "Little Wei, it's not what you think. I really have something to discuss with you."
I said with a cold and detached face, "I don't have time. Talk to Yu Jin about whatever you want to talk about. He's your boss after all."
After saying that, I walked away from them and headed for my job.
Seeing my cold attitude, Yumann Ting's mother finally couldn't take it anymore, and broke away from Yumann Ting's grasp and walked towards me, crying as she said: "Little Wei, I'm your mother, I'm your mother. You can't help but acknowledge me. Do you know what kind of life I've led in the past ten years that you've lost?! You can't just ignore your mother like that! "
I sat on the chair and sneered at Yumann Ting's mother: "Mrs. Yu, I really don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean you're my mother? "My mom died this year. I'm not going to catch anyone so I got used to it. Please leave and don't disturb my work."
After Yumann Ting's mother heard what I said, she cried even harder. "Little Wei, how can you say that, you can ignore mother, but can you stop speaking to me like this?
Yumann Ting's mother wouldn't forgive me, but she made everyone in the office look at her, including my boss. He heard me coming and came out and asked what was the matter with the shampoo.
I finally lost all patience. I looked at Yumann Ting and asked, "Are you going to take her or do you want me to call the security?"
Yumann Ting frowned and wanted to say something, but I just picked up the phone on the table and started dialing the security department's number. Yumann Ting rushed over and placed the phone in my hand onto the table, then said: "I'll bring her along right now, don't make her look so bad."
I looked at her coldly.
Yumann Ting continued, "But I still want to talk to you."
I said, "What do you want to talk about? About my relationship with your family? " I laughed. "Yumann Ting, who do you think you are? What do you mean you're my big sister and she's my mom? Go to hell, I don't want to hear any of this. "
Yumann Ting looked at me with a sorrowful face. She probably did not think that I would have such a reaction. Are you sure you want to do this? "
I said, "Are you going to scram?"
Yumann Ting was probably infuriated by my attitude. Her face changed and she wanted to say something, but her mother hugged her and cried, "Manting, let's go first. Don't be like this.
