Chapter 86: Throwing It All Out (1)
After work in the afternoon.
Lu Manman was in no rush to leave and had been working overtime in the office.
Her performance had been slumping recently, and she had to admit that someone must be behind it. After all, she had said back then that her market performance would increase by five to eight percent. Some people who did not want to see her stay would think of ways to stop her.
She told Zhang Cui to get her some of the outstanding plans that the Lu Firm had. She wanted to learn from her predecessors before she could find a better way to expand her business. She needed to find some inspiration.
Of course, that was just one of the reasons she wanted to stay behind and work overtime. The other reason was because she had to delay her meeting with Wen Yun.
What was this man up to?
She pursed her beautiful lips and devoted herself to her work until her cell phone rang.
It was already nine-thirty in the evening.
Wen Yun couldn’t wait anymore.
She looked at the caller ID and picked it up. “Yun.”
“Manman, you’re still busy?”
“It’s almost over.”
“I’m in a private room at Zun Huang Hall in KTY. I’ll be waiting for you.” The voice on the other end was as gentle as usual.
Lu Manman nodded. “I’ll try to come over earlier.”
Lu Manman hung up and stayed for a while.
It wasn’t until ten that she got into her car and headed to KTY.
KTY was one of the more expensive bars in Wen City, unlike Sleepless Charm that Mo Yuanxiu frequented. This bar was more formal and deals in the dark were usually handled in a more down-to-earth manner. The bar was mostly frequented by gold-collar workers and above. Hence, when Lu Manman entered, the bar was not as stuffy as it had been when she went to look for Mo Yuanxiu.
The attendant led her all the way into the private room.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
The lights were dim inside, and Wen Yun was sitting on the couch. He was in a white shirt, and from afar, he looked as refined and clean as ever. The environment here was worlds apart.
Wen Yun was always capable of confusing others.
“Manman.” He looked at her, his voice as gentle as ever. He got up from the sofa, revealing his impressive figure.
Lu Manman stared at his face.
At such a close distance, even with the dim light, she could still see his hypocritical face clearly. It was so elegant.
“I was worried that you wouldn’t come.” Wen Yun smiled as he took her hand and led her to the couch.
At this point, only she and Wen Yun were in the private room.
The two of them were actually not at a safe distance.
“Do you want to drink?” Wen Yun asked her.
Lu Manman shook her head. “Yun, I’m not drinking anymore. Getting drunk makes me break down.”
She wouldn’t even drink water here.
She didn’t trust Wen Yun, so she had to be on her guard against any possible tricks this man might play on her.
Wen Yun did not force her. He picked up his glass and poured himself a drink.
In their private room, Lu Manman accompanied him.
His actions tonight completely exceeded her expectations. He didn’t mention anything about what happened on the news today, nor did he say that he would love her no matter what. He just drank his alcohol and didn’t say a word.
If she hadn’t experienced such a tragic betrayal last time, she definitely would have been deceived by Wen Yun’s expression at this point.
