Chapter 158: Minor Car Accident

lling.Lu Kuo thought it was embarrassing, so he lightly pulled at her hair and tugged her back: “Act a little more reserved, for heaven's sake, you’re the eldest miss of the Lu family.””Siblings are u...Lu Yaoyao kept her word and never spoke more than necessary to Zhuo Yunan or Lu Kuo. It wasn't that she was particularly committed to her promise, but rather that she was biding her time, watching the drama unfold, waiting for a major earthquake in the Zhuo family, hoping for chaos throughout the world.

Shu Tinglan was able to return to her law firm because the negotiations between Tingjing Finance and Huahua Entertainment were at an impasse.

Unfortunately, Director Xiao was on a business trip, and Zhou Ming was also busy with other projects, leaving her feeling quite alone. As the mainstays of the team were absent, she didn't know other lawyers well, or perhaps they intentionally avoided her. Even Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaogē tried to keep their distance. With nothing else to do, she settled down at her desk and diligently studied the Listen Whale Finance negotiation project, hoping to find terms that both sides could accept and move the negotiations forward.

In short, it's someone who can't sit still.

On her way to the water cooler, she glanced at her social media feed. The top post was from Lu Yaoyao, who was holding a script and pretending to read it with a serious expression. Her caption read: "New script, new beginnings."

She casually clicked a like, forgetting that the little princess's job was an actress, even though she was still an eighteen-liner.

Scroll down your friend circle, it's Lin Zhixuan's post, a picture of an elaborately arranged breakfast for two. No caption but the meaning is clear, it's her and Fu Shanyi's breakfast.

She wanted to like it, but she thought about it and gave up, sighing inwardly. Just as she was about to leave the tea room, Cheng Chen sent her a WeChat voice call.

She was never one for beating around the bush, she simply asked.

“What’s wrong with Lin Zhihao”

A few days ago when this was making waves online, Cheng Chen called and asked about it. Shu Tinglan gave a brief explanation of the situation, omitting any mention of her argument with Lin Zhifan. Cheng Chen agreed with her, saying that such a man should be avoided. At the time, Cheng Chen's exact words were:

"Lin Zhi's always been clever. She figured it out on her own after a few days, and she ran faster than anyone else."

Yes, running away with all her might is how they know Lin Zhixuan.

But right now, looking at this photo, it's a case of "no turning back until you hit a wall." Cheng Chen is so angry his teeth are itching.

“She’s the one who wants to do something stupid, and no one can stop her. Just don't worry about what happens to her.”

Cheng Chen and Lin Zhi's feelings are naturally not as deep as Shu Tinglan and Lin Zhi's, and they are also harsher when scolding people.

"Don't say that about her, it's not easy for her either." Shu Tinglan didn't want to say a bad word about Lin Zhifei.

"Where did you come from, it’s not easy. The original wife is easy Her daughter is easy Lanlan, if she truly treated you as a friend, she would know your reservations and wouldn't do this. What's the difference between her and Wenlan and Wenjian"

“She was also deceived.” Shu Tinglan felt uncomfortable and heartbroken when Cheng Chen said this about Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao had been avoiding her recently, even ignoring her. She knew that this was because Lin Zhixiao cared for her, the more she cared, the harder it was to face her.

And what about her What kind of true friend was she When Lin Zhixuan was at his most vulnerable, she, like an outsider, played the role of a strict moral guardian, telling him this wasn't right and that wasn't allowed.

But deep down, her most genuine wish was simply for Lin Zhiyao to be happy and content. Who he was with didn't matter to her.

She sent a WeChat message.

"Hey hey, I'm sorry." I want to give her a hug and tell her that as long as you are happy, I will be your strong support.

But Lin Zhiyi didn't reply, not even when she got off work.

As the workday neared its end, a heavy downpour began. This only added to the already congested evening rush hour traffic, so Shu Tinglan decided to stay at work for a while and wait for the peak time to pass before heading home.

Zhuo Yu'an gave her his phone number: "Wait for me at the law firm, I'll pick you up." He was worried that she was still a novice driver and in this weather after the heavy rain, she wouldn't dare to drive.

"No, I got home before you arrived."

"Okay, be careful." Actually, what he didn't say was that he was already on his way to her law firm. He glanced at the navigation prompt; the road ahead was red all the way. He had been stuck in the middle of the road for half an hour.

Shu Tinglan was the last one to leave the law firm. The roads around them were not as congested as before, and after the rainstorm, the evening sky became bright again. Two rainbows hung in the distance on the horizon. When waiting for the traffic light, many drivers took out their phones to take a picture of the rainbow.

Shu Tinglan also took a picture and sent it to Zhu YUAN.

“How beautiful.”

"Hmm."

Zhuo Yu'an could also see the rainbow, but there were three minor car accidents in front of his location, blocking the entire road. He was a little irritable at first, but when he saw the rainbow she sent him, his heart calmed down.

"I might be home late today."

"Okay."

The green light came on, Shu Tinglan signaled left and turned, two more intersections and he'd be home.

She had just turned onto a road with fewer cars ahead when her car was suddenly rear-ended. She slammed on the brakes, and due to inertia, she almost hit the steering wheel. Just as she was shaken, someone knocked on her window. It was the driver of the car behind her.

After she came to her senses, she was furious. "Will she even be able to drive anymore On such a wide road, she managed to rear-end someone!" She unbuckled her seatbelt and stormed out of the car to check the damage to her rear end.

The driver of the car behind just knocked on her window. He was wearing a suit and tie, tall and muscular, standing between the two cars looking at his own vehicle.

Shutinglan was wearing a dress, but because she was driving and had changed into flats, she looked especially petite and fragile, lacking any presence whatsoever.

The other party was driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, license plate Sen888xx. At a glance, this car was clearly owned by someone wealthy. That man in the suit and tie must be the driver because she saw a lady sitting in the back seat, not getting out, waiting for him to finish his business.

Shu Tinglan at the time didn't think much, she only saw that her taillights were shattered, while the other car was unscathed. Before she could blame the other party, the driver of the other car arrogantly spoke first;

"Have you ever driven like that You suddenly decelerated on a perfectly straight road. You're lucky today, I was driving slowly. At my usual speed, I would have crushed your car."

Shutinglan had never seen someone so rude and unreasonable before. She wasn't afraid at all. In this situation, momentum was also very important. While she took photos as evidence, she scolded

“What’s wrong with me driving This road has a 40 mph speed limit, can’t you see Besides, you need to get this straight, you were tailgating me!”

As if realizing she wasn't an easy target, the driver walked back to his car and said something to the lady in the back seat. The lady seemed to nod, and the driver then walked back to Shu Tinglan again.

"Alright, we have an urgent matter and can't wait for the insurance company to handle it. Let's settle this privately. How much do you want Give me a number."

She acts like a nouveau riche, looking down on her car and her. Many people are willing to settle privately, taking the compensation and then finding some excuse to claim from the insurance company later, essentially getting double payment. on three sides, offering a panoramic view of the entire city of Senzhou at night. 。。Lin Zhihao looked at him, thinking to himself, how could there be such a gentle person He felt a little intoxicated...
