Chapter 219 Making Trouble
Chu Tong, Cheng Yalin, Ling Tianxue and Xia Xiaoluo were sitting around the table. At this moment, Xia Xiaoluo was confused. She didn’t know how to deal with Chu Tong’s injury or what would happen next.
Chu Tong sat next to Xia Xiaoluo, serving and taking care of her considerately.
Xia Xiaoluo looked at Chu Tong’s ugly face, she said to Chu Tong with guilt, “Chu Tong, are you all right?”
“Don’t worry, I’m OK. If it’s really serious, I won’t be able to work today. At that time, I’ll stay at home and take care of myself.” Chu Tong said with a smile.
“Why did the manager in the Western Restaurant fire you?” Xia Xiaoluo asked.
“There is no reason. They said that they didn’t need so many part-time students for now, so they fired me.” Chu Tong shrugged his shoulders, acting that he was helpless about this.
“But the New Year and the Valentine’s Day are coming. The restaurant should need more people to help! And the winter vacation is coming too. Some student lovers, as well as the teachers with high consumption ability, will come to the Western Restaurant. They should hire more people to help!” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head, she couldn’t understand why Chu Tong was fired that way.
“Xiaoluo, don’t think about it anymore. Anyway, I’ve got a new job now, and the boss is the friend of Sister Yalin. I will be fine.” Chu Tong pretended to be relaxed.
Xia Xiaoluo pressed her own hands tightly. Even she was a glutton, she could not eat anything now. She thought that Ling Tianyi has gone too far this time. He not only fired Chu Tong, but also found someone to beat Chu Tong up severely. So she was angry, she was angry with Ling Tianyi.
At this time, the other three people saw the change of Xia Xiaoluo’s mood. Ling Tianxue showed Xia Xiaoluo the selfies she took by herself in the office on purpose.
“Xiaoluo! Look at my posture, is it cool?” Ling Tianxue looked through the photo album on her mobile phone while asking Xia Xiaoluo.
Xia Xiaoluo was absent-minded. But when Ling Tianxue clicked on a photo, she was attracted. A man and a woman in the photo look very intimate. Once Xia Xiaoluo saw it, she recognized that the man was her husband, Ling Tianyi.
However, the woman in the photo was not her, but another woman, Cheng Yalin.
Xia Xiaoluo clenched her fists tightly after seeing this. Ling Tianyi said clearly that he would not get close to other women or go to the Romantic House dating with Cheng Yalin. But obviously, this photo was taken in the Romantic House. Because the background was the signboard, they were almost hand in hand.
Ling Tianxue showed Xia Xiaoluo this photo on purpose, which was secretly taken by her when Ling Tianyi was selecting the hairpin for Xia Xiaoluo in the accessory shop. Because of the camera angle, it looked as if they were standing there hand in hand. In addition, Ling Tianxue photoshopped the background, creating a warm environment that Ling Tianyi and Cheng Yalin were staying in the coffee shop together.
Xia Xiaoluo was trying her best to suppress her tears. She was very sad, it seemed that the whole world has collapsed. She was helpless, without knowing what to do.
In order to enhance the effect, Ling Tianxue said deliberately, “Oops, I took this photo unconsciously. I’m sorry, Xiaoluo. My brother and Sister Yalin are old friends. They haven’t seen each other for so many years. It’s also normal for them to communicate with old friends once in a while.”
Hearing this, Cheng Yalin pretended to say something casually, “Xiaoluo, Yi and I are not in any relationship. Although we were famous couples in Dwichen’s College before, it was all in the past. As time goes by, we are just old friends now. We are not the kind of relationship in your mind! Don’t mention it to Yi when you go home, or he will be unhappy. I know his temper; he doesn’t like being controlled by a woman.”
“He can do anything he likes; I don’t care about him. He will not listen to me either!” Xia Xiaoluo said half seriously and half angrily.
They knew that they have given Xia Xiaoluo enough pressure. If they continued, Xia Xiaoluo would find Ling Tianyi to confirm it directly. It would be troublesome at that time.
Xia Xiaoluo only ate a little at the beginning. Because she was too angry to eat.
Because of Cheng Yalin, they didn’t have to pay for the bill. They greeted Boss Jiang Yi, and left the hot pot restaurant.
Cheng Yalin was going to work, so she left in a hurry. Ling Tianxue said, “Xiaoluo, let’s go back to the company! We spent too much time for lunch. Maybe my brother has come back to the company. He will be eager to find you.”
“I’m sorry, Tianxue. I don’t want to go to the company. I’m not feeling well, so I want to go home and have a nap!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“Well! However, I have something to do in the afternoon. I can’t take you home!” Ling Tianxue spread out her hands. “Your house is far away from here. I promised my brother that I will take care of you. If anything happens on the way home, I can’t explain it to my brother!”
“Let me take Xiaoluo home! Sister Tianxue, don’t worry, I will take Xiaoluo home safely.” Chu Tong stood beside Xia Xiaoluo as her protector immediately.
“You? Can you protect Xiaoluo under such a condition?” Ling Tianxue said on purpose.
Xia Xiaoluo also said hurriedly, “Chu Tong, you’d better go back to have a rest earlier! I don’t need you to drive me home. I am a grownup now, I can go home by myself.”
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t want Chu Tong to take her home. First, she couldn’t bear to let Chu Tong take care of her under such conditions. Second, she was afraid that if Ling Tianyi knew it, he would punish Chu Tong severely again.
“No, I’ll be anxious if I don’t drive you home safely. Even if I go back to have a rest, I will be anxious anyway!” Chu Tong insisted.
“Well, that’s settled. Although Chu Tong is a little stupid, he is still a man. It’s natural for a man to take a woman home. Xiaoluo, let Chu Tong take you home! Just do me a favor, OK?” Ling Tianxue said to Xia Xiaoluo.
“Chu Tong, take care of Xiaoluo. Or I will punish you if something happens to her!”
“Xiaoluo, call me or send me a message when you get home, or I will worry about you all the time.”
Ling Tianxue decided the whole thing by herself.
Xia Xiaoluo had no choice. She knew that if she didn’t agree, Ling Tianxue would put down her work and take her home. If she delayed the business affair, Ling Tianyi might have more troubles. So, she could only agree.
Ling Tianxue helped Xia Xiaoluo to call a taxi. After watching them getting on the taxi together, she drove away. In fact, Ling Tianxue didn’t have anything to do in Huasheng Group. She just found an excuse to make Chu Tong and Xia Xiaoluo stay alone to increase their connections. The most important thing was that they could stimulate Ling Tianyi only by making Xia Xiaoluo and Chu Tong stay together.
When Chu Tong sent Xia Xiaoluo to the door, he suddenly twisted his feet and fell to the ground.
“Chu Tong, are you all right?” Xia Xiaoluo pulled Chu Tong and asked.
“It’s OK. I twisted my feet for the second time just now, so I have to find a place to wipe some medicinal liquor!” Chu Tong said, taking out the small bottle prepared in advance.
“Come in! It’s too cold outside!” Although Xia Xiaoluo dared not to bring people into the villa, but she was reluctant to let Chu Tong apply the medicinal liquor barefoot outside in winter.
“That’s not good!” Chu Tong refused deliberately.
“It’s nothing, I’ll help you!” Xia Xiaoluo supported Chu Tong, but she couldn’t hold him. At last, Chu Tong’s arms supported on Xia Xiaoluo’s shoulders, entering the living room of Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo’s love house.
When they walked in, Chu Tong glanced at a camera outside, feeling a little happy.
Chu Tong didn’t linger maliciously, because he was afraid of arousing Xia Xiaoluo’s suspicion. He could only apply the medicinal liquor as if he really twisted his feet and left immediately.
During this period of staying with Xia Xiaoluo, Chu Tong told her three things. First, he really liked Xia Xiaoluo, but he would not force her. He just wanted to help her in the hospital that day. Second, he would continue helping her, he was not afraid of anything. In other words, he just wanted to tell Xia Xiaoluo that Ling Tianyi caused all these troubles. Third, he said that Ling Tianyi had a violent tendency, he asked Xia Xiaoluo not to tell Ling Tianyi that he has been here, or she would be beaten up by Ling Tianyi.
After Chu Tong left, Xia Xiaoluo was very upset, sitting in the dancing room specially designed by Ling Tianyi.
At 3 p.m., Ling Tianyi went back to the company hurriedly, but he couldn’t find Xia Xiaoluo in his office or the private lounge. At that moment, Ling Tianxue rushed over, Ling Tianyi asked, “Where is my wife?”
“Brother! I just want to tell you!” Ling Tianxue pretended to be nervous, “I took Xiaoluo to eat the hot pot. After eating, she said that she was not feeling well, wanting to go home to have a rest. However, I think I have made such a big mistake, I dare not to leave the company, so I asked Chu Tong to take her home. I told her to call me when she got home. But she didn’t call me. When I called her, she didn’t answer it, so I’m afraid that something happened!”
“You…” Ling Tianyi was confused. “How can you let another man take Xia Xiaoluo home, especially Chu Tong? Why is he there?”
Ling Tianxue pretended to be pitiful and innocent, telling Ling Tianyi the whole story according to her design. “Brother, will Xia Xiaoluo be in trouble?”
“I’ll go home and have a look!” Ling Tianyi said. Suddenly he turned around and said, “Ling Tianxue, I tell you in advance. If Xia Xiaoluo had an accident, I will take your head off and kick it as a ball.”
As soon as Ling Tianyi left, Ling Tianxue called Chu Tong immediately, “Chu Tong! My brother has just set out. You can take action!”
“Don’t worry, Sister Tianxue, I won’t disappoint you.” Chu Tong hung up, holding Xia Xiaoluo’s mobile phone in his hands. At this time, Ling Tianyi called Xia Xiaoluo.
