Chapter 090: acting like an idiot

He was only dazed for a few seconds before he hurriedly gestured for his assistant to leave.

The assistant quickly left.

Qi Chuyan placed her hands on his desk. When she looked up, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was choked with sobs. "Brother Xiangdong, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What are you doing?"

"Asking to resign from my position as deputy general manager."

He was stunned for a moment. He did not understand why she would suddenly make such a request.

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly resigning?" Lu Xiangdong handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. As her brother, he could not bear to see her so sad.

She squeezed her tears and pretended to lower her head to wipe her tears.

"I feel that my ability is limited. Rather than staying in the company and being criticized by others, I might as well resign so that I can have an easy life."

Lu Xiangdong felt that Qi Chuyan was actually very capable. If she were to become the president, she would be able to handle it easily.

"Chuyan, people don't live for others."

"But I hate to be looked down upon. Su Mianmian said that I'm not capable and that I relied on your relationship with Uncle Lu to get the position of deputy general manager. You know how sad I feel when I hear that." Qi Chuyan was afraid that he would not believe her. She deliberately distorted the truth and acted like she was the victim.

Lu Xiangdong frowned. This didn't sound like Su Mianmian.

"Chuyan, I know Su Mianmian. If she said that, she definitely did not mean it. So don't take it to heart and work hard."

Qi Chuyan threw a tantrum. "But I feel that she has a problem with me. She's jealous that I'm as painful as you are, so she attacked me with words."

Lu Xiangdong pressed his forehead. He raised the documents in his hand. "I'll go back and talk to her. Can you go out to work now? I still have things to deal with."

She bit her lip. "Brother Xiangdong, I know you like her, so I protect her. If you protect her too much, it will only make her more arrogant."

Lu Xiangdong was about to speak, but Qi Chuyan slammed the door angrily and left.

He admitted that Su Mianmian's temper was not great, but he was sure it was not as bad as Qi Chuyan said.

He phoned Su Mianmian, wanting to ask her to change her temper.

When she heard her phone ring, Su Mianmian dropped the watering can in her hand and ran into the living room.

"Hello." She lifted her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her face.

"What are you doing?"

Su Mianmian asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I'm just asking." He sounded calm, but Su Mianmian knew that he had something else to ask her.

"Something up?"

"No. If you're bored at home alone, you should go out for a walk. Don't stay at home and watch TV all day," he told her.

She was watering the flowers and grass in the garden. She wasn't bored enough to watch TV.

"Thank you for your advice. I'm watering the flowers. I'm hanging up now. The water is still running and I don't want to waste it." She hung up and rushed out.

Lu Xiangdong wondered if he was too sensitive. If he had known that Su Mianmian was such a blabber-mouth, he wouldn't have married her in the first place. With that thought, he began to calm down and work.

At a golden nightclub, Li Hong and his son were enjoying their night when the door of their private room was suddenly knocked open. A group of police officers rushed in. Li Hong and Li Mingzhe were still holding the beautiful woman in their arms. They were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

The police officer showed them a warrant and then said impartially, "You are suspected of murder. We are going to arrest you now. You can remain silent, but anything you say will be used as evidence in a court of law."

Li Hong's expression changed. He knew that the police would appear here. Lu Xiangdong must have done something. He reached out his hand and said to the police officer, "I am willing to go back to the police station with you to be investigated. This matter has nothing to do with my son."

"Take him away," the police ordered. The two of them came up and handcuffed Li Hong.

Li Mingzhe cried out in shock, "Dad! You can't take my dad away. My Dad didn't kill anyone."

The police pushed Li Mingzhe to the side. "We'll know whether or not he killed someone when we go back to the police station for investigation."

Li Hong turned around and said to Li Mingzhe, "Go back and sit down. I'll be fine."

Li Mingzhe was so angry that he kicked the table. That d*mn Lu Xiangdong! He must have bribed that woman and killed her so that she would bite them back.

He tried to call that woman's cell phone number, but the phone was turned off. So was the man's phone.

He would not let go of anyone who hurt his father. He vowed that he would make Lu Xiangdong suffer so much that he wished he was dead.

Li Hong was brought into the police station. No matter how the police questioned him, he said that it was none of their business.

The police impatiently pulled him up from the chair. "Murderers will always say that they are innocent. If you're smarter, you should tell the truth."

Li Hong raised his head and laughed. "How much did Lu Xiangdong give you? Why did you work so hard for him?"

"..."

Did Lu Xiangdong give them benefits? Just his reputation was enough to make him afraid.

"Li Hong, don't think that everyone is as dirty as you."

A policeman quickly nodded and bowed. "CEO Lu, you are here. I have already caught the criminal. Do you want to-"

He waved his hand to interrupted the policeman. He walked towards Li Hong slowly.

Li Hong had already expected that he would enter the police station. It was all thanks to the man in front of him.

"Haha, you want to play the good guy? You're too good at pretending. Lu Xiangdong, if you have the ability, then send me to jail for the rest of my life," Li Hong threatened.

Lu Xiangdong ignored him and turned to the police officer. "Just do everything impartially. There's no need to give favors to anyone."

"Yes, Chief Lu," the police officer said respectfully.

Li Hong cursed, "Lu Xiangdong, I won't let you remain proud. I will definitely repay you double the humiliation I suffered today."

Lu Xiangdong stood where he was and sneered, "I'll wait. But the most important thing right now is to think about how to apologize for yourself."

"You!"

The police told Li Hong to be quiet. This was a police station, not a place for entertainment.

"A dog looks down on others. You better remember that." Li Hong pointed at the police officer and snorted.

The police continued to interrogate him.

Lu Xiangdong came out of the police station and drove back to the villa.

Su Mianmian had not gone out at all today. The living room was littered with the garbage and snack bags that she had discarded.

The moment Lu Xiangdong entered the house, he saw that she was watching TV with her legs crossed. Although, he had found that the garden was very neatly fixed.

"Su Chengwu, eating too much junk food will lower your intelligence."

Su Mianmian looked up at him and stuffed the snack bag behind her. She clapped her hands and smiled. "This is called snack food. I'm not used to watching TV without eating something!"

Lu Xiangdong threw his briefcase on the sofa and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Or do you want to order takeout?"

Su Mianmian raised her hand and said, "Order takeout!"

"Then call and order takeout." He didn't want to go out and eat after a long day. He just wanted to eat something fast.

She quickly got off the sofa and picked up the phone to call for takeout. A female voice sounded on the phone. "This is Mai Mianxiang restaurant. May I help you?"

"Two takeouts, fried meat with salt, rice with rice, and," Su Mianmian took a breath and added, "Please send it over quickly. I'm already very hungry."

"Yes, Miss. Our delivery staff will send them over when they're done here."

The call ended. Su Mianmian turned her head to look for Lu Xiangdong, but he was no longer behind her. He had probably gone upstairs to rest.

She focused her gaze on the television.

Half an hour later, she heard the sound of the doorbell. Su Mianmian threw the remote control and ran to open the door. It was the delivery man.

She carried the takeout and walked to the dining table. She smelled the aroma of the food and instantly became hungry. She called upstairs, "Captain Lu, the takeout has arrived. Please come downstairs to eat."

Lu Xiangdong changed his clothes and walked downstairs.

"Su Mianmian, since you're so good at eating, you should learn to cook few delicious side dishes. This way, you don't have to order takeout so often." Lu Xiangdong sat back and picked up his chopsticks to eat a few mouthfuls. He kept feeling that the food outside was not clean.

She had never learned how to cook. She did not want to smell the oily smoke.

"Don't you know how to cook? It's the same if you cook for me. Anyway, I'm not picky." She used her chopsticks to remove the food on the rice, picked it up, and put it in her mouth.

"Of course I'll cook it for you when I'm free, but if I'm busy, or if I'm on a business trip for a few months, how many months do you plan to eat instant noodles?"

She instantly had a headache. Cooking was such a complicated process, and she probably wouldn't learn it soon. The nature of her job determined that she had to take good care of her hands.

"It's okay. It's the same even if I order takeout. I don't care if you think it's dirty."

Lu Xiangdong felt that she was hopeless. He had never seen such a lazy woman.

"Do you know how to make simple soup? Like egg soup or seaweed soup?"

Su Mianmian smiled. "You just throw the food inside and boil it, right? That's simple, I know how to!"

Lu Xiangdong thought that she was an idiot.
