After a long time, Xie Chongwen sighed.

He tapped Lu Qiyue's forehead lightly, "I really lost to you, okay?"

Realizing that he had compromised, Lu Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't ask any more questions.

After returning to the villa, Lu Qiuyue had no appetite at all. She put down her chopsticks and went upstairs after eating just a few bites.

Mrs. Li glanced upstairs, then turned back and looked at Xie Chongwen in confusion.

"Sir, did you have a quarrel with the young lady?"

Xie Chongwen frowned.

He wished he could hold Lu Qiuyue in his hands and pamper her, so how could he possibly quarrel with her.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sister Li continued to talk to herself: "You care so much about the young lady, it shouldn't be you, then someone has made the young lady unhappy."

Did someone offend Lu Qiuyue?

Xie Chongwen pursed his lips tightly, and a layer of coldness covered his dark eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Mrs. Li again.

"Make something she likes to eat and I'll bring it to her."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Mrs. Li smiled instantly.

A simple yet tempting dinner was ready, and Xie Chongwen took it upstairs.

knock --

Lu Qiuyue, who was daydreaming in the room, heard a knock on the door. She knew without guessing that it was Xie Chongwen. She took a few deep breaths to adjust her state, and went to open the door with a smile on her face.

Xie Chongwen came in and put dinner on the coffee table.

"You didn't eat much at night, so Sister Li was worried about you and made it again for you."

"Sorry, I really don't have much appetite." Lu Qiuyue refused with a smile.

Looking at her forced smile, Xie Chongwen stood up and walked in front of her.

His expression gradually became serious.

Realizing that he was angry, Lu Qiuyue panicked.

She subconsciously explained: "I don't want to waste Sister Li's kindness, I..."

"Have you been bullied at the company?" Xie Chongwen interrupted her and asked.

A hint of deep meaning flashed across Lu Qiuyue's eyes, and then she lowered her head and shook her head slightly.

"No."

It seems that he has been wronged, but is unwilling to say it.

Xie Chongwen was a little angry and raised his hand to knock her on the forehead.

"I'm not Zhou Ruixuan. If you've been wronged, just come to me and I'll help you vent your anger."

Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

No, Xie Chongwen took her in when she was most helpless. She would have been a burden to Xie Chongwen and made him a laughing stock.

Suppressing the throbbing in her heart, Lu Qiuyue pushed the person out.

"I want to be alone for a while."

After saying that, she slammed the door shut.

Xie Chongwen frowned.

Even after all this, can't he replace Zhou Ruixuan?

After standing at the door for a while, Xie Chongwen returned to his room with a gloomy face.

Xu Tao, who had just left the company and returned home, saw Xie Chongwen's phone call and immediately understood why he called.

Xie Chongwen asked directly: "Who bullied her?"

“Someone gave Kelly a photo of the young lady getting into your car, and the news that the lady is the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family has also been known, but the lady seems to be unaware of her identity as an illegitimate daughter.”

After listening to Xu Tao's report, Xie Chongwen was silent for a long time.

"Don't let her know. Let Kelly come to see me tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Chongwen walked to the window.

The news that Lu Qiuyue was Lu's father's illegitimate daughter had not spread, and he had been using various means to suppress the news over the years.

When he was bullied at school, he was the one who made those comments disappear from the Internet.

I didn't expect that there are still people who are not afraid of death and dare to bother Lu Qiuyue with such news.

Xie Chongwen squinted his eyes, but the chill that shone through the gaps between his eyes still made people feel terrified.

The next day.

Xu Tao asked Kelly to go to the president's office.

Kelly came back again, her eyes red, and she rushed to Lu Qiuyue.

"You are the one who complained, right?"

"What?" Lu Qiuyue raised her head, confusion in her light-colored eyes.

She looked at Kelly in confusion, "What crime do you want to accuse me of?"

Seeing that the other person was still unwilling to admit it, Kelly sneered.

"Lu Qiuyue, don't you think you are noble? But you still complained to Mr. Xie."

"Kelly." Xu Tao came over and looked at Kelly expressionlessly: "Go pack your things, you've been fired."

Kelly was a little panicked because she didn't expect Xu Tao to say it in front of everyone.

Especially the looks from everyone were unacceptable to her.

Kelly pointed at Lu Qiuyue angrily, "Why did you fire me? Just because I told everyone that Lu Qiuyue got in through the back door? Xu Tao, I am the victim. As soon as she came, she took my job and everyone else's. There were so many projects, and all the commissions were taken by Lu Qiuyue alone."

"Qiuyue only took her share, and everyone should get what they deserve. Kelly, you encouraged everyone to isolate Qiyue and wrongly accused her without knowing the truth. Not only will you be fired from the company, but you will never be able to find a job in the same industry again."

Kelly's body trembled, and the others were even more panicked.

Is this going to ban Kelly?

Kelly was completely panicked now.

She looked at Lu Qiuyue.

Suddenly remembering something, Kelly knelt in front of Lu Qiyue, "I know I was wrong, Miss Lu, can you give me another chance? I promise I will never do it again, okay?"

Lu Qiuyue's eyes were calm and there was not much expression on her face. She looked at Kelly for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing this, Kelly suddenly understood what Lu Qiuyue meant.

She can't help herself.

"Ms. Lu, please, I can do whatever you want me to do. I will be your dog from now on. Please, don't let Mr. Xie ban me."

"Kelly, pack up and leave quickly. You have one hour to finish it." Xu Tao spoke again.

Then Xu Tao looked at the others.

"If anyone spreads rumors or isolates anyone again in the future, Kelly will be the one to suffer. The company invites everyone to work, not for intrigue, please know."

After saying that, Xu Tao smiled at Lu Qiuyue again.

"Mr. Xie asked you to go upstairs to find him. He is waiting for you in the office."

Lu Qiuyue gritted her teeth and left under everyone's gaze.

It just so happens that it is not suitable for her to stay in the office now.

Xie Chongwen was standing by the window gazing into the distance. When he saw her come in, he just told her to close the door and continued watching his own thing.

Lu Qiuyue walked over and stood next to him.

After looking downstairs for a while but still unable to figure out what was going on, he looked up again and observed Xie Chongwen curiously.

Xie Chongwen is countless times better than Zhou Ruixuan.

He is kind to others, while Zhou Ruixuan always takes out his anger on people around him and has no gentlemanly manners at all.

most important……

Lu Qiuyue suddenly laughed.

"You helped me vent my anger today, aren't you afraid that others will say you are partial?"

Xie Chongwen lowered his head to meet her gaze and said confidently, "You are my wife, shouldn't I be partial to you?"

The smile on Lu Qiuyue's face disappeared.

She hurriedly avoided Xie Chongwen's gaze, twisting her fingers in confusion.

"I……"

After a moment's silence, Lu Qiuyue finally mustered up the courage.

She looked up and looked directly into Xie Chongwen's eyes, begging in a low voice: "Can you please not announce our relationship? I just want to work hard."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Chongwen's eyes.

Even after all this, she still doesn't want to make it public?
