To his disappointment, Xu Qingqing didn't say anything but just stared at him silently.
Xu Qingqing certainly knew what Lu Fenglin wanted, but since she couldn't give it to him, she wouldn't give him hope.
Moreover, Xu Qingqing hated tomb - raiders deeply, and Lu Fenglin had dealings with them, which had crossed her bottom line.
"I hope you can reflect on your actions and stop doing such things," Xu Qingqing said with coldness and detachment in her eyes, showing no pity or sympathy.
Lu Fenglin looked into Xu Qingqing's cold eyes. His heart felt as if it was being slowly ground by a blunt knife. It was dull and painful, and he couldn't break free.
Lu Fenglin said in a trembling voice, "If I correct my mistakes, do I still have a chance?"
All he wanted was an opportunity to compete fairly with Lu Chuanbai for Xu Qingqing.
After spending a night in the detention center, Lu Fenglin was even more unwilling to lose to Lu Chuanbai. Since he couldn't win in business, as long as he could win Xu Qingqing, Lu Chuanbai would collapse on his own.
Xu Qingqing turned her face away, about to reject Lu Fenglin.
She just didn't like him. She wasn't the kind of bad woman who would lead someone on when she didn't have feelings for them.
Xu Qingqing preferred to make things clear.
Just as Xu Qingqing was about to speak, a shrill scream filled with anger and jealousy rang out.
It was Sun Jingjing. While Xiao He wasn't paying attention, she sneaked in and heard every word Lu Fenglin said. Her round eyes were almost spitting fire.
This was the first time she had been so humiliated. In the past, every young master had doted on her.
This time, she had taken the initiative to put aside her pride to find the criminal Lu Fenglin, only to be constantly rejected. And now she heard him confessing his love to another woman.
Sun Jingjing couldn't bear it anymore. Wearing her high - heeled shoes, she stamped on the ground as if she wanted to break it. She coldly questioned Lu Fenglin.
"Lu Fenglin! What do you mean! If you like other women, why did you go on a blind date with me!"
Lu Fenglin's face turned cold again, as if he had never shown any tenderness. He looked at Sun Jingjing as if she was a debtor, and his voice was cold and harsh.
"The one who wanted you to go on a blind date was never me. It was my mother."
"You..." Sun Jingjing was so angry that her cheeks turned red. Her body swayed unsteadily due to her rapid movements.
Xu Qingqing gave her a sympathetic look and reached out to support her. "Miss Sun, are you okay?"
But Xu Qingqing didn't expect that her kindness wouldn't be reciprocated. Sun Jingjing pushed her away forcefully.
Sun Jingjing turned her anger towards Xu Qingqing and shouted, "You already have a child. Why are you still seducing other men? You're so immoral!"
And Gu Anrou, who had been peeping at the commotion, took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Yes, she's a slut who seduces men! She got pregnant before marriage. No one knows who the father of the child is, and she even seduced my fiancé, Lu Chuanbai!"
Su Xiaoyue also roared, "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
When did Lu Chuanbai become your fiancé?
This question flashed through Sun Jingjing's mind, but she continued to blame Xu Qingqing.
The two women shifted all the blame onto Xu Qingqing.
Hearing the commotion inside and the insults towards Xu Qingqing, Xiao He picked up his police baton and knocked on the iron gate, shouting a warning, "If you keep talking nonsense, you'll suffer the consequences!"
Su Xiaoyue and Gu Anrou were bullies at heart. Seeing someone coming, they immediately shut up and shrank to one side obediently.
Xiao He made a gesture of invitation to Sun Jingjing, asking her to leave.
After hearing those women's gossip, Sun Jingjing hated Xu Qingqing even more. She left haughtily, tossing her body, and didn't forget to leave a threat.
"You just wait!"
She would never forget today's humiliation. After saying that, she left in her high - heeled shoes.
"Sister Qingqing, are you okay? What those people said was so unpleasant!"
Xiao He led Xu Qingqing out and poured her a cup of hot water in a disposable paper cup.
Xu Qingqing held the paper cup and gave a gentle smile. She didn't take it to heart. Over the years, she had heard even worse rumors, so she was used to such things.
Those people were just clowns.
In Xu Qingqing's eyes, they posed no threat.
After chatting with Xiao He for a few more words, Xu Qingqing went home.
It was getting cold. The sycamore leaves in front of the door had fallen all over the ground. The wheels made a rustling sound as they rolled over them. Although it was quite poetic, the thick layer of leaves was being blown everywhere, looking rather unsightly.
She thought she should ask the property management to send some people to clean it up.
Xu Qingqing got out of the car and stepped on the leaves. The sycamore leaves were even higher than her ankles. The dust on the leaves also rubbed onto her leather shoes, covering them with a layer of dust.
Xu Qingqing took out her key to unlock the door.
"Mommy!" A cheerful voice came from behind.
Xu Qingqing turned around and saw her mother leading the two children out of the house, carrying all kinds of baking materials in her arms.
Xu Qingqing's hand trembled, and the key in her hand fell to the ground. She looked back at the door she was leaning against and couldn't help but sigh.
She had gotten so used to living in Lu Chuanbai's house that she subconsciously regarded it as her own home. Moreover, she was no longer as repulsed by Lu Chuanbai's closeness as before.
She didn't know if it was a good or a bad thing.
Xu Qingqing bent down to pick up the key and unlocked the door. She casually helped Xu An'an carry the wheat flour in her hand.
"Mommy, we went to the hospital to visit Teacher Wang with Grandma today," Xu An'an said. As soon as she saw Xu Qingqing, she became a chatterbox. Her rosy little mouth opened and closed, and her childish voice was clear and pleasant.
Compared to her talkative younger sister, Xu Yiyi was much more introverted and didn't say much.
Bothered by Xu An'an's loud voice, he turned his face away. His wool hat slipped down and covered his eyes.
"Really? How's Teacher Wang's injury?"
Xu Qingqing helped Xu Yiyi straighten his hat and asked with concern.
"Teacher Wang had three stitches on his head. He still needs to change the dressing twice before he can go back to work in the kindergarten," Xu An'an said. Her bright eyes dimmed a bit as she spoke.
Xu Qingqing gently patted Xu An'an's little shoulder and put the flour in the kitchen. "It's okay. Teacher Wang will definitely get better."
"Yeah." Xu An'an nodded vigorously. "So I want to make desserts for Teacher Wang myself to help him recover quickly."
Xu An'an became happy again and put the powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and other decorative items on the table.
"I see," Xu Qingqing said, nodding in understanding.
No wonder they had bought so many things for making desserts.
Grandma Xu helped Xu Yiyi put the things on the table. Then the two kids turned around and ran to the living room to play.
Grandma Xu's face showed a glint of gossip. "Does Teacher Wang, Xu An'an's teacher, have a girlfriend? What's his family background like?"
"Mom, what are you up to?" Xu Qingqing said while putting away the newly - bought things. "Mom, don't meddle in other people's business. I don't even know if Teacher Wang has a girlfriend."
