"You're the one who's being so persistent, big brother!" Xu An'an retorted defiantly.
The siblings rarely got into an argument.
"I have evidence!" Xu Yiyi's little face flushed with anger as she held up her phone watch. "I recorded your conversation with Teacher Su!"
"What?" Xu An'an instantly panicked and instinctively reached out to grab Xu Yiyi's phone watch.
"Don't you dare grab it!" Xu Qingqing picked Xu An'an up and moved her to one side to stop her from snatching. Xu Yiyi immediately played the video for Xu Qingqing.
After watching the whole video, Xu Qingqing was instantly consumed by a wave of anger. She couldn't wait to find Su Xiaoyue right then and there and slap her hard!
Saying such things to a child and deliberately luring her to a hillside where she could easily fall to her death, Su Xiaoyue was clearly trying to harm someone!
Lu Chuanbai, who was driving in the front, saw Xu Qingqing's furious face through the rear - view mirror. When the car stopped at a red light, he reached out and snatched the phone watch from Xu Qingqing's hand.
Xu Qingqing wanted to take it back, but she was worried about distracting Lu Chuanbai while he was driving. So she reluctantly advised him, "Don't be angry for now. I'll go and confront Su Xiaoyue tomorrow."
"I know."
Looking at the faintly throbbing vein on Lu Chuanbai's forehead, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Chuanbai was even more of a girl - lover than she was. After seeing this video, Su Xiaoyue was definitely in for a rough time!
But after watching the video, Lu Chuanbai didn't say a word. He coldly tossed the watch into Xu Yiyi's lap.
The atmosphere in the car was chillingly cold. Xu Qingqing rubbed her temples to suppress her anger. Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an both snorted angrily and didn't want to look at each other.
All the way home, Lu Chuanbai kept a gloomy face.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Xu Qingqing tried to console Lu Chuanbai. "Don't be angry anymore. I'll handle this matter properly and make sure our daughters don't suffer."
After saying that, Xu Qingqing reached out to hold Lu Chuanbai's hand and found that his hand was trembling slightly. His eyes were full of restraint and pain.
Lu Chuanbai gently hugged Xu Qingqing, resting his head on her waist and breathing in her fragrance. The strong and calm man softened his eyes and spoke hoarsely.
"You don't know how scared I was when I heard that An'an had an accident today."
On the way to the hospital, he even made a wish that he was willing to give up everything in exchange for the long - life, happiness and well - being of the two children and Xu Qingqing.
"I just want all of us to be okay."
"We will be." Xu Qingqing hugged Lu Chuanbai's head and gently patted his back.
The next day, Xu Qingqing brought some gifts for the kindergarten principal and asked her to pass them on to Teacher Wang. Then she inquired about Su Xiaoyue's whereabouts from the principal.
"Teacher Su resigned this morning. May I ask what you need her for?"
"Principal, my daughter didn't go to the hillside on her own. It was Su Xiaoyue who told her there were flowers on the hillside, so she went. Her actions are suspected of attempted murder!"
Xu Qingqing said these words through gritted teeth. Although her smile was polite, a closer look at her misty eyes revealed a chilling coldness.
"What? That's impossible." Hearing this, the principal frowned and instinctively refuted, pretending not to know.
"Mom of An'an, I know you attach great importance to this matter, but I asked An'an at that time and she said no one told her. She went there on her own."
"Otherwise, you can ask An'an again..."
"Principal, if I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't have come to you." Xu Qingqing said firmly.
"Teacher Su has come to find An'an before, asking her to plead for her not to be fired. So I have reason to suspect that this time Su Xiaoyue might have asked An'an to keep it a secret."
"This..." The principal frowned.
"Moreover, I have evidence. Xu Yiyi recorded a video of Su Xiaoyue talking to my daughter. I can show it to you."
Xu Qingqing took out the video she had specially saved and showed it to the principal.
"No need. I believe you." The principal waved her hand.
Seeing Xu Qingqing's certainty and recalling what Teacher Wang had told her before, she completely believed Xu Qingqing and gave her Su Xiaoyue's phone number.
"Thank you, Principal."
At this moment, Su Xiaoyue was holding her prepared resume and had come to the Lu Group to apply for the receptionist position.
Su Xiaoyue was very satisfied with her looks, and her educational background was higher than what was expected for the receptionist position.
She was confident that she would be selected, so that she could see Lu Chuanbai every day!
The secretary showed Lu Chuanbai his schedule. "Mr. Lu, this is your schedule for today. Besides these, for the recruitment of the receptionist, I've already arranged for the personnel department to handle it."
"Okay." Lu Chuanbai nodded expressionlessly. Then he said to the secretary, "Please help me check on someone. Her name is Su Xiaoyue."
"She was a teacher in a kindergarten under the Lu Group and has already resigned. Please find out what she's doing now."
"Sure, I'll check right away." The secretary went to the electronic database of all the employees in the Lu Group. When searching for Su Xiaoyue, two documents popped up.
One was the information about Su Xiaoyue's resignation, and the other was the resume she had submitted.
The secretary quickly told Lu Chuanbai the news. "Mr. Lu, I've found the person you asked me to look for. She's one of the candidates for the receptionist interview today."
"Interviewing for the receptionist..." Lu Chuanbai, who was typing on the keyboard, stopped for a moment and snorted.
He was just about to look for her, but unexpectedly, Su Xiaoyue had come to him on her own.
"When it's Su Xiaoyue's turn for the interview, let her come up. I'll interview her myself."
There were quite a few people, more than a dozen, coming to the Lu Group to apply for the receptionist position. After all, the Lu Group had good benefits, good treatment, a flexible working schedule, and was a world - renowned company.
Su Xiaoyue was the last one in line. While waiting, she practiced her self - introduction again and again and tidied up her makeup and appearance.
"Last one, Su Xiaoyue."
The staff member called out Su Xiaoyue's name. With a nervous heart, Su Xiaoyue took a deep breath, then hugged her resume and walked towards the staff member.
Su Xiaoyue thought the staff member would take her to the interview room where others had gone. Instead, the staff member took her to the elevator.
"Excuse me, I'm here for the receptionist interview. Why are we going somewhere else? What's going on?" Su Xiaoyue asked in confusion.
"Our Mr. Lu wants to see you."
The staff member said expressionlessly.
"Mr. Lu wants to see me?!" Su Xiaoyue was both surprised and delighted. Her heart started pounding instantly.
Oh my god, Lu Chuanbai was going to interview her in person!
This was a privilege that others didn't have!
Could it be that Lu Chuanbai had a crush on her!
Su Xiaoyue's mind was filled with unrealistic fantasies and she was full of expectation.
The staff member took Su Xiaoyue to the top floor and led her to Lu Chuanbai's office. "This is Mr. Lu's office. Please go in."
