She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Zhou Hanzhi really won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River, but I have to make it clear to him that he will give up.

I said, “I don’t like to joke.”

I said, "I have never joked with Mr. Zhou."

I also said: "I didn't do that in the past, and I didn't do that just now. Every word I said was from the bottom of my heart."

Zhou Hanzhi has been looking at me. His eyes, which were full of expectation at the beginning, gradually became silent, and finally turned into a deep sadness.

I didn't look him in the eye and continued, "I have said everything I need to say. I hope that Mr. Zhou and Manager Lin will be sweet and loving. I am waiting to eat their wedding candy. Xiao Ye is still waiting for me in the company, so I will leave first."

After saying that, I looked at Lin Xixi with a smile, nodded politely to say goodbye, then turned and left.

The elevator door slowly closed in front of me, and Zhou Hanzhi and Lin Xixi's faces completely disappeared from my sight. The tense nerves in my body suddenly relaxed, but I felt weak in all my limbs.

I dare not look into Zhou Hanzhi's eyes. I am afraid that if I look at him for one more time, I will feel heartbroken and regretful. I am afraid that I cannot help but...

Fortunately, I held back, and it was finally over between him and me, and everything was finally clear.

I can feel at ease now, but why does my heart feel like there is a hole dug in it, and an invisible hand is digging out my flesh and blood through this hole, and the wind is rushing in madly through this hole?

It hurts and it's cold.

I leaned weakly against the elevator wall, hugged my arms, closed my eyes, and my body slid silently down the smooth elevator wall, just like my broken and aching heart, falling towards a bottomless cliff.

"Ding." The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot on the first floor.

The door opened, and Zeng Zhi's surprised and nervous voice sounded at the elevator entrance: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Where's Mr. Zhou? Why didn't he come down with you?"

"Zeng Zhi." I opened my eyes upon hearing the voice, and pushed away Zeng Zhi's hand that came to support me. I stood up straight, looked him in the eye, and said calmly, "Boss Zhou and I are a thing of the past. Your sister-in-law is now Boss Zhou's favorite, Lin Xixi. Please don't make such jokes with me and call me sister-in-law in the future, okay?"

Zeng Zhi's face was obviously flustered, and he asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you, you..."

I interrupted him before he finished speaking. I didn't say anything more serious or threaten him. I just looked at him and smiled: "Zeng Zhi, there are many people who like Wu Ling. In addition to Zhang Jiahao who regretted his pursuit, there are many brothers and sisters. How about I introduce a few more to her?"

"Manager Meng, I've remembered your instructions. Don't worry, I won't call you sister-in-law anymore." Zeng Zhi was very sensible and immediately changed the subject.

Wu Ling was indeed Zeng Zhi's weak spot, and he remained silent when he was pinched.

I achieved my goal, nodded with satisfaction, said nothing more, and walked out of the elevator.

But Zeng Zhi called me again: "Manager Meng."

I frowned and stopped: "Do you have anything else?"

"We have known each other since college, so you must know me a little bit. I never joke around, and I have never joked with you either." Zeng Zhi chased after him, speaking hastily, "And I can guarantee that Mr. Zhou has never joked with you either. He is always sincere to you."

Zeng Zhi is worthy of being Zhou Hanzhi's younger brother. He always thinks about working hard for Zhou Hanzhi. Even at this time, he still remembers to speak for Zhou Hanzhi.

I now believe Wu Ling's original speculation. Zeng Zhi was not forced by Zhou Hanzhi to be an accomplice. He was sincerely and willingly an accomplice of Zhou Hanzhi and plotted against me again and again.

But, can you believe what the accomplice said?

I curled my lips and smiled: "I'm leaving first, bye."

I got in the car, started it, and drove out of the garage. Instead of going to the company, I drove aimlessly on the streets.

It’s not that I forgot about work, but I knew in my heart that in my current state, I couldn’t go to the company at all. Not only would I not be able to get anything done, but others would also notice something strange.

I was in a trance, as if there was a transparent glass wall separating me from the world. Everything was in front of me, but I couldn't touch or feel it. Even the sound of cars and conversations on the road seemed far away in the horizon, blurry and unclear.

I opened the car window. It was a sunny day in early spring. The wind was gentle and the sun was warm, but I couldn't feel anything.

I no longer felt the sharp pain and sourness in my heart. I just felt a stuffy discomfort in my chest, as if there was a ball of cold wet cotton blocking it that I couldn't spit out or swallow.

Stuffy and empty.

I vaguely heard the phone ringing, I looked down and found it was Wu Ling calling. After thinking for a while, I hung up.

Zeng Zhi must have told Wu Ling the news, and Wu Ling called to comfort me again.

It’s not that I don’t want to talk to Wu Ling. In fact, I don’t want to talk at all right now. I just want to stay quietly in a lively place.

Until I... stopped the car somewhere.

When I looked up, I was stunned. I actually parked the car in front of the Qili Beauty Salon.

While I was still in a daze, a figure hurried out from inside, hugged me with a happy smile on his face: "Xu Xu, why are you here? Godmother is so happy."

My originally blurred vision became clearer and clearer the moment I touched her.

The sun shone on her beautiful face, and her bright and happy smile ignited the dullness in my chest, and ignited the cold and wet cotton that was blocking my chest. Suddenly, my breathing became smoother. Without thinking, I rushed over and threw myself into her arms: "Godmother."

It was also strange. Her embrace was obviously gentle and warm, but it seemed to have an extremely strong force that broke the layer of glass around my body, and I suddenly felt touch.

The gentle breeze, the warm sunshine, and her embrace with fragrance.

And the sudden surge of emotions that came over me.

I hugged her waist tightly, and tears suddenly welled up in my eyes, unable to control them.

"What happened to you, kid? Why did you suddenly come here and..." Mrs. Zhang Si was surprised when I suddenly hugged her. She hugged me and asked with a smile, but halfway through the question, she seemed to sense that something was wrong with me and immediately became nervous, "Xuxu, why are you crying? What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell your godmother quickly. As my daughter, you will never be bullied by others!"

The pain in my heart suddenly came at this moment, sharp, sour, and so painful that I couldn't breathe.

I hugged her tighter, choking with sobs, and finally uttered a few words after a long while: "Godmother, I, I want to eat the egg noodles you made."
