She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 824

After hearing Wu Ling's questioning, I was stunned.

I couldn't help but ask myself in my heart, yes, why didn't I ask her how she knew the truth.

Since Wu Ling knew the truth, why didn't I ask her about it immediately?

It was only after I met Wu Ling's earnest eyes for a long time that I suddenly understood.

It’s not that I forgot to ask, but that I didn’t dare to ask.

Yes, I didn’t dare to ask. Perhaps, my subconscious mind had already guessed who the person who helped me was.

And Wu Ling's eyes at this moment have confirmed my guess.

The green light came on and I quickly looked away: "No matter who helped, it's all in the past. There's no point asking this now, right? Besides, the severe winter made me very unhappy. I don't want to mention this matter again in the future."

"Xuxu?" Wu Ling frowned, "This is not your style."

I know what she wanted to say is that I am not the kind of person who can accept help from others with ease and confidence. No matter who helps me, I will be grateful.

There's no way I could pretend I knew nothing and let this go.

"By the way, sister, you must know the person who helped me, right? Then I will transfer some money to you and ask you to return it to the other party as my gratitude, okay?" I said immediately.

This is also my way of thanking the other party.

"Xuxu! You are not showing any gratitude at all by thanking me this way." Wu Ling's face looked even worse. "That person doesn't need money at all, but you used money to thank him, and you thanked him through me. You didn't even meet him in person. This is too disrespectful."

"Yeah, that's true. This is indeed a bit bad. I won't transfer the money then. Let's talk about it when there is a chance in the future." I turned the steering wheel and the car turned into the parking lot of the Beijing-Hong Kong Grand Theatre.

The Beijing-Hong Kong Grand Theatre is very large and the parking lot is underground. The light inside the car suddenly became dim and Wu Ling stopped talking at this moment.

But I could feel her eyes always on me, observing me.

It was as if I didn't feel her gaze. The car stopped, I unbuckled my seat belt, and said naturally and calmly: "Sister, we're here. I'll help you get out of the car."

"Xuxu, do you know who it is?" Wu Ling suddenly spoke at this time.

In the dim light, her eyes looked at me quietly, with a faint light flickering in her eyes: "You know who he is, and you don't want to have anything to do with him, so you are so cold, right?"

The air was quiet and I could hear my heartbeat getting heavier and my breathing becoming slightly faster.

But when I spoke again, my tone was as calm and natural as before: "Sister, the time is almost up, let's not be late."

Wu Ling stopped talking. She stared at me for a while and finally sighed softly: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. I respect any decision Xuxu makes, as long as she feels happy."

I heaved a sigh of relief and put my hand on the door frame: "Be careful with your head."

We got off the bus and walked into the theater. There were a lot of people, and the huge theater was almost full.

Because the play had not yet started, the audience was still talking to each other. Wu Ling and I found a seat and sat down, but discovered that there were pairs of men and women sitting around us, all interacting sweetly and intimately. They were all quite young, and some were even college students.

I looked at the ticket in my hand and realized that the play I was going to watch today was a famous domestic drama called "Butterfly Lovers".

"It turns out to be a romantic drama. No wonder so many young people come to watch it." I sighed and teased Wu Ling on purpose, "Assistant Zeng is unlucky. She can't accompany my sister to appreciate love. It's a good thing for me."

"Hmph, don't mention that unlucky guy. He always fails at the critical moment. I don't know how many times he has stood me up from the beginning to now! I'm so fed up with him and never want to meet him again!" Wu Ling was still very angry when Zeng Zhi was mentioned, and he ranted on and on.

I guess Zeng Zhi must be sneezing right now.

But we really can't blame Wu Ling for getting angry and swearing. Zeng Zhi did often stand Wu Ling up, and each time it was due to emergencies.

He did very well in other aspects, almost perfect, but this was his only flaw.

But if a girl dresses up beautifully to go on a date with her lover and ends up being stood up, anyone would be angry.

I couldn't say much, so I could only gently hold Wu Ling's hand and comfort her: "He definitely didn't mean it. I have to thank Assistant Zeng. I haven't been on a date with my sister for a while, and he stood me up so I could have this chance to be alone with my sister."

"Xuxu, you have a mouth that can confuse people when you want to coax them." Wu Ling's anger and resentment seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and he reached out and pinched my face.

I gave her a bright smile, "So is my sister confused?"

"I'm confused, I'm confused. I'd be willing to sell me even if you want to!" Wu Ling also laughed.

The play began at this time, and the actors came on stage one after another. They were beautifully dressed and their singing styles were authentic. I was quickly drawn into the plot and immersed in it.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai also met in college. Zhu Yingtai admired Liang Shanbo's talent and was moved by his character. She took the initiative to approach Liang Shanbo. Liang Shanbo realized it later and gradually became closer to her. The relationship between the two gradually improved...

They knew and cherished each other, yet were cautious and entangled and hesitated for several times.

Just like me and Zhou Hanzhi back then.

I was attracted by his talent and took the initiative to approach him, but soon discovered that his appeal was not only reflected in his talent, and I fell more and more deeply in love with him.

The difference is that Liang Zhu were attracted to each other, but for Zhou Hanzhi and me, it has always been one-sidedly attracted to me, and Zhou Hanzhi has never liked me.

There is also a difference in social status between Zhou Hanzhi and I, but Zhu Yingtai doesn't care about the difference in social status between us. In order for the two of us to be together, she resisted several times.

But it was not the case between Zhou Hanzhi and me. When the difference in our social status became apparent, he abandoned me without hesitation, and in a deceiving way.

The damage started from this time and has spread to this day.

Wu Ling is right. I actually already know who helped me back then, but I don’t want to thank this person.

Because he doesn't deserve it!

He hurt me more than I actually wanted, always hurting me again after helping me, over and over again, to the point where I no longer believed he was really helping me.

Perhaps, he chose to help me suppress the news at that time just because we had common interests. After all, I was the project leader of the story, and my damage to my reputation directly affected his actual interests.

I won't thank him, I don't have any gratitude towards him.

My thoughts were in a mess and I could no longer focus on the plot on stage.

At this moment, Wu Ling beside him suddenly spoke quietly: "Actually, I don't blame him. Although I have been scolding him, I know that if it is not a particularly urgent situation, he will not stand me up and leave me and the child alone to go abroad."
