When Shen Zhinian heard this, he was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Why should I hook up with him?"
The sincere retort sounded mocking to Lu Jingchuan's ears. He snorted heavily and tightened his hold on her.
There was a faint feeling of tension in the waist and abdomen, and the pain in the heel became more and more obvious at this time. Shen Zhinian did not have the time to speculate on Lu Jingchuan's expression, and asked softly: "Can I go to the side to rest for a while?"
Lu Jingchuan said with a cold face but did not answer.
Shen Zhinian had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.
The grueling dinner was finally over, and after saying goodbye to the last few partners, Shen Zhinian walked quickly to the corner, and the moment he took off his shoes, the smell of blood rushed out.
The blood on the heel had dried.
She wanted to lift her foot to see where the bleeding was, but Lu Jingchuan shouted in a voice that was so disturbing: "What are you still waiting for?"
Shen Zhinian responded and quickly put on his shoes again, carefully raising his heels to avoid touching the injured area again.
Lu Jingchuan saw her strange posture from a distance and frowned: "You don't even know how to wear shoes?"
"It seems to be worn out, so I don't dare to step on it." Shen Zhinian told the truth and got into the passenger seat obediently.
Lu Jingchuan pursed his lips and hesitated to speak. He took out his mobile phone and quickly typed out a line of text before driving her back to Su Mang's house. He watched her get out of the car with a gloomy look, then glanced at her heels again, and finally drove off without saying a word. Leave.
Shen Zhinian couldn't bear to wear them for another second, so she simply took off her shoes, twisted them in her hands, and tiptoed into the apartment.
As soon as he saw her coming in barefoot, Su Mang yelled, "Why are you so embarrassed at a banquet?"
"Bring me the iodophor." Shen Zhinian didn't have the strength to explain and asked for help.
After a while, Su Mang brought the whole set of tools and carefully cleaned the blood stains with gauze dipped in water. Shen Zhinian frowned more and more and gritted his teeth to endure.
"Is this caused by nails?" Su Mang finally saw the wound after cleaning up the blood, and asked in surprise: "Aren't those shoes high-end? Can they still have nails?"
Shen Zhinian immediately took the shoes over, wiped them clean and saw a small nail head protruding from the insole of the heel. No wonder it was hidden and piercing.
"Who prepared the shoes for you? Lu Jingchuan?" Su Mang was speechless: "Even Mr. Lu can't prepare a decent pair of shoes for you?"
"Gao Qian prepared it." Shen Zhinian corrected silently.
Su Mang's eyes widened even more when he heard this: "Gao Qian? That new general secretary? Isn't she Lu Jingchuan's tool to make you angry? How come she still has the guts to create such trouble for you?"
Shen Zhinian stared at the nail head and thought for a while, then put it away: "We can't pursue it."
Gao Qian could have directly denied it and then slandered Shen Zhinian for questioning the brand. Although Shen Zhinian could argue with reason, there was no need to go to the brand.
After much thought, she decided not to express it.
"You're not going to pursue the case? She's done this to your feet, and you're still looking out for the overall situation for the Lu family?" Su Mang looked down and applied medicine to her with an expression that said, "You're hopeless."
Shen Zhinian knew that she was doing it for her own good, so she felt soft in her heart: "I know better, and I won't suffer in vain."
"I'm afraid that you will suffer in vain. You were bullied by those people before and you didn't say a word."
"Where, am I not paying back slowly? By the way, do you know that Lu Jingchuan has an older brother?" Shen Zhinian asked with concern.
After all, Su Mang is a reporter and is well-informed.
Sure enough, Su Mang looked up again and said in disbelief: "You have been following Lu Jingchuan for so many years and you didn't know he had a brother?"
"..."
"But he doesn't have a good relationship with his brother. I heard that his brother is in the entertainment industry. Lu Jingchuan doesn't seem to think highly of him." Su Mang muttered.
That would match Lu Jingchuan's attitude towards Lu Yan.
Shen Zhinian nodded understandingly.
Su Mang suddenly came up to her and looked at her gossiping: "But I heard that his brother is a romantic beauty. He probably likes you very much. He is also humorous. If you meet him, why not consider it?"
She received an eye roll in response.
When she went to work the next day, Shen Zhinian walked in and saw Irene swiping the access card. She had nothing to say to her, so she lowered her eyes and walked over.
Unexpectedly, Irene "accidentally" stretched out her leg, and Shen Zhinian fell directly to the ground. His heel got stuck on the edge of the machine, and a bloody streak was immediately scratched out.
Irene originally just wanted to cause trouble, but she accidentally went too far. She widened her eyes in surprise and quickly ran away as if nothing happened.
Shen Zhinian took a deep breath, calmed down his temper, and planned to go to Lu Jingchuan to explain things to him first.
"Shen Zhinian, are you a three-year-old child?"
Faced with Lu Jingchuan's question.
Shen Zhinian followed his line of sight and saw her bleeding ankle, and silently stepped back: "I'll take care of it right away."
She put down her bag, took out gauze bandages and disinfectant from the drawer, lowered her head to pull up her skirt first, and pulled her elbows back.
"boom"
The disinfectant water fell to the ground and spread everywhere.
Shen Zhinian immediately raised his head and looked at Lu Jingchuan.
The latter closed his eyes, his face speechless, and said with disgust: "Can't you do this little thing? I really doubt what's going on in your head."
Shen Zhinian pursed his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
If it hadn't been for her foot injury yesterday, she could have stabilized herself today. Lu Jingchuan was so unkind.
She apologized muffledly: "Sorry, I'll clean it up right away."
After saying that, he took out a paper towel and started to apply disinfectant. After laying down two sheets, his wrist was grabbed.
Lu Jingchuan took the tissue in her hand and threw it into the trash can. He didn't know when he brought another bottle and said in a deep voice, "Auntie will come to clean it. Put your feet out."
Shen Zhinian was puzzled: "Do you want to bandage me?"
"Do you have to repeat it a second time?" The man's tone became more serious.
Shen Zhinian pursed her lips and moved her toes carefully, not daring to let go directly.
Unable to stand her slow motion, Lu Jingchuan directly stretched out his hand to hold her ankle. His movements were quick but gentle, and he carefully took off her high heels.
"What's going on with the wound on the sole of her foot?" He keenly sensed something was wrong. He lifted it up and saw the large band-aid on the sole of her foot.
Shen Zhinian didn't want to cause trouble, so she made it up casually: "I accidentally hit a stone yesterday, it's not important."
Lu Jingchuan tore off the bandage without saying a word. When he saw the needle-like wound, he sneered: "It's amazing that a stone can look like a needle's eye."
"...Well, there are a lot of strange things." Shen Zhinian answered along with his words with an innocent face.
Lu Jingchuan was so angry that he remained silent.
Gao Qian deliberately chose a time when Shen Zhinian might not be around to deliver the medicine. Who knew that before she even entered the door, she saw Lu Jingchuan squatting to treat her wounds? She stopped in shock and looked down at the anti-inflammatory medicine in her hand. Seems to understand something.
She received a message from Lu Jingchuan in the middle of the night yesterday, still buying daily necessities. She was very happy, thinking that she finally had a chance.
I didn’t expect that she was the clown.
She was hesitating whether to go in, and the people inside had already seen her first.
There was a moment of panic in Shen Zhinian's eyes, but Lu Jingchuan gave Gao Qian an order with a natural expression: "Ask Irene to go to the personnel office to resign."
