CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 134 NOW PRETENDING TO BE INNOCENT HERE_2
After Assistant Xie left, Jian Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned back to look at the tightly closed door of the president’s office, she almost felt like scratching the walls in frustration.
It was indeed Lu Jingchen who had called her to come over, saying that there were problems with the new movie that was about to start shooting. Since the movie had gone through a strict vetting process and many high standards were required, initially she really thought Lu Jingchen was seeking her out because of issues with the movie.
But now, she couldn’t help but wonder if Lu Jingchen actually wanted to find fault with her over the incident where Song Qiao and Zuo Yuqing got injured.
Jian Xia was a bit confused about who exactly Lu Jingchen loved, Song Qiao or Zuo Yuqing. Just yesterday, she heard from her subordinates that when Lu Jingchen arrived at their company and saw the injured Zuo Yuqing and Song Qiao, he decisively chose the former and left Song Qiao lying on the ground.
It was said that Song Qiao’s injury was more severe than Zuo Yuqing’s, who had merely sprained her wrist and would be fine after a few days of rest. However, Song Qiao reportedly injured her waist, which could require a month’s worth of rest.
She had planned to visit Song Qiao directly, but then she received the call from Lu Jingchen.
Jian Xia stood hesitantly at the door for a long time, but didn’t have the courage to really walk into the office. After thinking it over, she turned and quickly headed towards the elevator.
...
Inside the office, Lu Jingchen was sitting in his leather chair with a very unpleasant expression, looking at the documents in front of him, unable to focus on a single word.
When the office door opened and the sound of high heels on the floor came through, Lu Jingchen did not look up but spoke out in a cold voice directly, "Didn’t I say not to let anyone disturb me? Get out!"
The footsteps of the newcomer paused, and then the next second the sound of high heels on the floor resumed, followed by a slightly ethereal and gentle voice, "Jingchen, it’s me."
Lu Jingchen lifted his gaze and saw Zuo Yuqing, who had already reached his office desk, dressed in simple casual clothes, holding a Magic Mirror in one hand and the other wrapped in a bandage.
With a slight frown, Lu Jingchen put down the pen he was about to sign with, and nodded his chin towards the sofa not far away, his voice temperate, "Why are you here? Your wrist isn’t healed yet, why aren’t you staying in the hospital?"
Zuo Yuqing obediently walked over and sat down on the sofa, with a shallow smile on her face, and spoke with a hint of clearness in her voice, "Staying in the hospital is too stuffy, plus it’s just a sprained wrist, I can also recuperate at home. I just need to check the recovery at the hospital every day, so I had Sister Xu help me with the discharge procedures earlier. When I was passing by CK, I thought I’d come up to see you."
Lu Jingchen, sitting leisurely on his leather chair, did not say much upon hearing this, simply humming in response.
Looking at that handsome face, Zuo Yuqing remembered the scene at Hua Yi when he first saw her in an accident and immediately picked her up. Even though she was in pain and a bit unfocused, she could still clearly see his concern for her.
At that time, her heartbeat began to accelerate in an instant, as if something was on the verge of bursting forth.
Seeing the thick stack of documents on the man’s desk, Zuo Yuqing paused, still spoke up, "Jingchen, are you very busy? I was thinking of inviting you to lunch at noon, is that okay?"
What exactly was Song Qiao’s status to Lu Jingchen, she didn’t know, but she was sure she wouldn’t let go of any chance to win him back.
Lu Jingchen was about to speak, his lips moved but the words he wanted to say were suddenly stalled, with the image of Song Qiao’s disappointed face from yesterday flashing in his mind, his lips were pressed tightly, and his low and husky voice lightly said, "Yuqing, sorry, I may not be able to have lunch with you today, I have an appointment with a client."
Zuo Yuqing felt a wave of disappointment upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s refusal, but she did not show it on her face, still smiling elegantly, "That’s okay, we can do it next time when you’re available."
Lu An’an was brought to CK Group by Jian Xia. As the second young miss of the Lu Family, Lu An’an didn’t frequent CK Group often, usually to avoid conflict of interest, especially since she wasn’t an employee of CK Group.
However, despite her infrequent visits, everyone on the secretary floor recognized Lu An’an, so when Jian Xia, brimming with excitement, pulled Lu An’an toward the president’s office, no one stopped them.
As the office door opened, without even getting a clear view of the people inside, Lu An’an had already called out, "Bro, are you there?"
The abrupt intrusion made Lu Jingchen frown slightly, glancing towards the two girls who had walked in together, his eyebrows tightening even further as he lightly said, "Why have you two come together? Also, don’t you know to knock before entering?"
Lu An’an lifted her head, and the first person she saw wasn’t Lu Jingchen, but Zuo Yuqing sitting on the sofa, giving her a faint, surprised look, then smiling at her. Lu An’an froze on the spot, taking quite a while before she managed to utter, "Why are you here?"
"An’an, watch your tone," Lu Jingchen began to scold Lu An’an even before Zuo Yuqing could reply.
"Jingchen, it’s fine, An’an might just have a small misunderstanding about me," Zuo Yuqing said, the smile on her face become slightly stiff, her tone laced with an awkward sort of resignation.
Lu An’an suppressed the emotions in her heart. If she had to choose who she disliked more between Li Xin and Zuo Yuqing, she would undoubtedly pick Zuo Yuqing without hesitation.
If it weren’t for this woman, how could her brother have been involved in that incident? And now, she has started to come here pretending to be innocent.
