Chapter 1118: Lying to Her About His Presence
Xu Xi acknowledged and looked at the lunch box in his hand. He did not dare to say anything and turned to leave, but something unexpected happened when he reached the door.
“Wait a minute.” Jun Shiyan stopped him again. He glanced at the lunch box and said, “Leave it with me!”
Xu Xi did not know what he was thinking and did not dare to ask. He respectfully placed the lunch box down and left. He even secretly looked at the man and realized that he was staring at the lunch box.
In the video, the senior executives of the company looked down, as if they had seen a ghost.
Were they seeing things? The CEO was looking at the lunch box, and there seemed to be a smile on his face. A smile! They had been in the Gu Corporation for so long, but they had never seen him smile before!
Jun Shiyan asked them, “Have you eaten?”
The higher-ups said, “CEO, eat first, we’re not hungry.”
Jun Shiyan said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
The higher-ups were all dumbfounded. What the heck? The CEO wants to eat during a video conference! Oh my god, this is the first time!
“We’ll continue in half an hour. You guys can go and eat.” After saying that, Jun Shiyan closed his laptop.
The high-level executives in the office saw the man on the screen disappear and the screen went black. They widened their eyes in disbelief and were moved to tears. At the same time, they really wanted to know who was the one who gave the CEO the lunch box.
“Oh my god, is the CEO concerned about us? I’m so touched, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t control myself anymore, let me cry for a while first.”
“Don’t you want to know who sent the lunch box that made the workaholic postpone his important meeting to eat?”
“I heard from Assistant Xu that it’s a woman. The CEO must be in love. Indeed, love can change a person entirely.”
“Is it Miss Luo?”
“No, I heard it was Miss Ling?”
“Didn’t you guys hear that a beautiful young lady came to look for the CEO a few days ago? She even said that she’s the Young Master’s biological mother!”
“Really? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“Of course it’s true. That woman said so, but the CEO didn’t admit it. We don’t know either, so we don’t dare to say it!”
The higher-ups of the Gu Corporation started gossiping. Their CEO was famous for being a workaholic, he never stopped his meetings because of anything. Even if a knife fell out from the sky, he would still calmly continue his work.
The woman who delivered the meal was definitely not simple. But if it was not the Miss Luo that everyone knew, who could it be? Third Master’s new lover? Or was it his old love?
Jun Shiyan opened the lunch box and took out all the food inside. They were all very bland food, and the portion was small. They were all contained in small bowls.
Including the steamed egg, there were a total of four dishes and a small bowl of soup. The main dish was colorful dumplings.
There were desserts, a cup of yogurt, and a small box of white strawberries. They were not very big and looked irregular. They did not look like they were bought.
He looked at the food on the table and breathed in the aroma of the food. He wasn’t hungry at first, but for some reason his stomach growled.
Xu Xi actually did not want to disturb Jun Shiyan, but Butler Gu had repeatedly asked him to bring back the empty lunch box. He could only brace himself and knock on the door. “Third Master, are you full?”
Jun Shiyan hummed, it had been a long time since he had been so satisfied. The food tasted very good, even better than all the delicacies he had eaten before.
Xu Xi looked at the lazy and handsome man and walked up to pack his things. He put all the empty plates,and bowls into the lunch box one by one. He was shocked that he didn’t manage to control himself.
The Third Master’s actions were too unkind. Miss Ling was the one who sent the food to Young Master, but he ate it clean.
He was starting to sympathize with the Young Master now. It was his mother who had cooked for him, but his father had intercepted and ate his food.
Gu Zhong sent the lunch box back to Ling Sheng. He looked at her with a pained expression and said, “Miss Ling, you should go back. The sky is starting to get dark, it’s going to rain soon.”
Ling Sheng hurriedly shook her head. “No need. I’ll wait here. Didn’t you say that the Third Master would be back tonight? I must see him today.”
She wanted to ask him what was the meaning behind his actions. The results of the maternity test were out long ago, and he had promised the Huo family that he wouldn’t stop them from meeting.
In this situation, he had gone back on his word. Or rather, what he had said at the Huo family residence was just a ruse to take Xiaoqi away.
The sky was already very gloomy, black clouds covered the sky. Just 15 minutes ago, it was still sunny. Surprisingly, in the blink of an eye, the weather changed.
In less than half an hour, the rain started pouring.
Ling Sheng hid under the roof, but the wind was strong. She held the umbrella that Gu Zhong had given her to block the rain, but it did not do much. Soon, her clothes and hair were wet.
Around evening, the rain became slightly lighter. A car drove over. Ling Sheng’s eyes lit up, thinking that Jun Shiyan had returned.
The car stopped at the entrance.
The chauffeur got out of the car first, opened an umbrella and respectfully opened the back door.
Luo Xin got out of the car and took her umbrella. When she turned the corner, she saw Ling Sheng, who was standing at the entrance of the Gu residence. She sneered in her heart. This woman really did not give up, did she think that she would be able to see the Third Master like this?
She probably did not know that shameless pestering would only make the Third Master hate her even more.
Luo Xin raised her chin arrogantly. When she walked over, she looked at her and smiled mockingly. “Miss Ling is here to look for a Third Master, so why aren’t you going in?”
The moment Ling Sheng saw Luo Xin, she was speechless.
This was exactly what happened at the Gu Corporation. Luo Xin went to look for Jun Shiyan in front of her.
It was the same this time. The same situation, the same humiliation. She was actually going to experience it twice.
“I was just about to leave.” How could Ling Sheng allow others to laugh at her? She smiled and walked out with an umbrella. “Miss Luo, please!”
Luo Xin could tell from the look on her face that she was not allowed to go in and was rejected. She felt extremely disdainful in her heart. How thick-skinned and shameless must a woman be to be rejected time and time again and still suck up to him? She deliberately provoked her. “I heard that the Third Master came back from his business trip last night, so I came to visit him.”
“I’m not here to see him. I’m here to see my son.” There was no emotion on Ling Sheng’s face, but her heart turned cold.
According to Luo Xin, he had already gone home and was now at the Gu family residence. Just because he did not want to see her, he got someone to lie to her and say that he was not around..
