The air became silent, and Zhou Hanzhi on the other end of the phone also became silent.

After a moment, I heard his low sighing voice: "Xuxu..."

"That's all I have to say!" I interrupted him in a deep voice and hung up the phone.

With the emotions still surging in my chest, I closed my eyes and held the phone against my heart.

The heartache is severe, sharp and deep. Only by squeezing the heart hard can the pain be slightly relieved.

Even though I know in my heart that I am just a tool in Zhou Hanzhi's heart and my importance cannot be compared with Lin Xixi, but he chose to sacrifice me, a tool, to please Lin Xixi. I still feel sad.

He did it, but he refused to admit it and tried to find excuses to cover it up, saying that he couldn't bear to let me get hurt. This is a great humiliation for me.

Not only did he disrespect me, he also rubbed my IQ into the ground.

How did it become so unbearable?

At least we have been together and had sweetness and tenderness. In my heart, he was as elegant and holy as a male god.

Perhaps, the sweetness and tenderness of the past were just my wishful thinking, and he never took it seriously.

At the beginning, I regarded him as my male god, but in Zhou Hanzhi's eyes, I was just a bootlicker with no dignity.

But Zhou Hanzhi, a licker is also a living being, and will be hurt! When it hurts, he will wake up!

They will fight back, you can’t treat them like this!

There was a knock on the door, and Nannan's worried voice: "Xuxu, can I come in?"

"Okay, come in." I tried hard to suppress my emotions and make myself look relaxed.

As soon as Nannan came in, she gave me a bear hug. She stood on tiptoe and rubbed my head. Her tone was both worried and comforting: "Don't be afraid, Xuxu, Nannan is here."

She learned the words I usually used to comfort her, and like a little adult, she tried her best to comfort and protect me.

But my heart was shaken again, and I couldn't help but hug her tightly in my arms: "Okay, I'm not afraid, I have Nannan, I'm not afraid of anything."

The heart that was covered with scars caused by Zhou Han began to grow new blood vessels. Nannan's small warm body brought me warmth and strength. However, when I lowered my head, a warm tear slid down my nose and fell on the back of my hand.

The girl in my arms looked up and stretched out her little hand to touch my face. Her dark eyes were full of nervousness under her furrowed brows: "Xuxu, don't cry. Tell Nannan, who bullied you?"

Her words made me unable to hold back anymore. I hugged her tightly again, but my throat was dry and I couldn't speak.

How should I explain this to her? I was indeed bullied, but that person has a close relationship with both of us...

"Is it Uncle Zhou?" Nannan was in my arms, her face in the crook of my neck, and her voice came into my ears in a muffled voice, "Is it your boss, Uncle Zhou? Did he bully you?"

My body froze.

Although the child is young, she is very smart and sensitive. I just said two sentences to my aunt, but Nannan has already guessed the whole story.

It was indeed Zhou Hanzhi who bullied me.

Nannan leaned back with all her strength, her face looking very serious: "Uncle Zhou actually bullied Xuxu, I won't like him anymore! We won't be good friends anymore! Xuxu, take me to find him, I want to criticize him!"

Another wave of bitterness, astringency, sorrow and pain surged in my heart.

Nannan is weak and always sick, so we usually take better care of her. In addition, she is sensible and well-behaved, so even if she does something wrong, the worst punishment she feels is being criticized.

So at this moment she said she wanted to criticize Zhou Hanzhi.

After all, the adult world is different from the children's world. How could Nannan know that this matter could definitely not be solved by just criticizing her?

I held her for a long time, and slowly calmed down: "It's okay, Xuxu can handle this, Nannan, don't worry."

Nannan didn't say anything, but just hugged me tightly.

I glanced outside the door and said softly, "However, Xuxu has something to ask of Nannan. Please help me take good care of my aunt. Xuxu cannot be with her for the time being, and I am a little worried."

"Leave it to me!" Nannan agreed immediately.

She was like a little adult. My heart felt a mixture of pain and warmth, as well as a mixture of bitterness and sweetness.

At this time, Wu Ling called again. She was very worried about me, so I briefly told her about my conversation with Zhou Hanzhi.

"No matter whether he was the one who did this or not, the chat screenshots must have leaked from his phone. He is guilty of not keeping his phone safe!" Wu Ling's tone was also very serious, but he changed the subject and said, "But Xuxu, don't worry. The innocent will be innocent. Our public relations team is already handling this matter. I just came to find out the whole story so that we can handle it better."

"When did we have a public relations team?" Wu Ling's words surprised me.

Our company is a small one. All the staff including the cleaning ladies are only in the double digits. We have never hired any public relations staff. Where did the public relations team come from?

"We just formed this group. The members are Xiaoye and I, as well as Zhang Tingyuan, a non-staff member of our company." Wu Ling's answer was concise but serious. "Xiaoye tried to call you just now but couldn't get through. He was very worried, fearing that something might have happened to you. Fortunately, my call got through, otherwise he would have collapsed again."

Yuan Tianye and Zhang Tingyuan were also fighting for me. My heart was warm, but I also felt guilty: "Xiao Ye..."

"He's fine, he's just worried about you. I just sent him a message, he should be relieved now. He and Zhang Tingyuan are controlling public opinion online right now." Wu Ling immediately comforted me, "Now that we know the whole story, it's easier to deal with it. Xuxu, the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself first, don't be afraid of this!"

Every time I get into trouble, my family and friends stand behind me. They are my strongest support, protecting me and warming me time and time again.

I wanted to cry again, but this time, I swallowed back my tears.

My teammates are working so hard, so I certainly can't be vulnerable.

"Thank you Wu Ling. I will also immediately post a statement on Weibo explaining the whole story." I said seriously.

After a pause, I added, "Also, I just notified Zhou Hanzhi to return the diamond bracelet to me immediately, otherwise I will sue him immediately."

"Okay, didn't he also say that he would deal with this matter immediately? Maybe he will also issue a statement to explain it for you." Wu Ling whispered.

"Impossible, he wouldn't do that. He just used me to sacrifice to the gods. How could he explain for me?" I denied it immediately.

I don't think Zhou Hanzhi would do that.
