Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 141
Chapter 141: Face to Face (4)
Lu Manman left Yue Nan’s office. She had no idea how many people were watching her, but at least until now, she had found people she could trust.
Back at the office.
Lu Manman suddenly felt herself relax.
She needed information on her progress, and all she could do now was wait.
There was the market performance to worry about too.
She had to admit that she really could not focus on managing the company and making the necessary arrangements. Thankfully, she had made the necessary arrangements before the accident. At this crucial moment, anyone who knew how important their career was would take it seriously.
She took a deep breath.
She massaged her throbbing temples.
She had not had a good rest for the past two days. When she closed her eyes, all that was on her mind was nonsense, preventing her from falling asleep. But at this point, she was a little dazed.
She kept quiet for a few seconds, then adjusted her chaotic thoughts. She picked up her cell phone and made a call.
The call went through very quickly. “Lu Manman.”
“Di An, are you alright?” she asked with concern.
“What?”
“Gu Xin said your arm was injured.”
“Oh, it’s nothing serious. It’s just a mild fracture. I’ll be fine after recuperating for a while,” Di An said nonchalantly.
“Rest more then.”
“Thank you for your concern,” he said sincerely. He then thought of something and asked, “Manman, are you getting married soon?”
“On the sixth of this month.”
“When we were young, I told you that I would help you take your wedding photos when you and Gu Xin got married. But I’m afraid I’ll have to break the promise now. My right hand is injured, so I can’t hold the camera.”
“That was when we were young, yet you still remember it.” Lu Manman smiled.
Di An was more introverted. Out of the three of them, he was the most introverted. She wondered if he had known since he was a child that his status was a little special compared to others. He was always unwilling to show off in front of others and was even used to hiding in the corners most of the time.
Gu Xin had been a happy child full of tricks up her sleeves since she was young. She was familiar with everyone, and she was always welcomed in the circle she grew up in. The three of them were around the same age, and Gu Xin and Lu Manman had been friends since they were young. When Gu Xin was six, she made friends with Di An, who was always forgotten by everyone.
It was Gu Xin who seduced Di An first, but in the end, Di An was the one who got dumped.
Lu Manman felt bad for Di An.
But in her previous life, she had supported Gu Xin’s decision. She simply thought that in front of the two men who loved Gu Xin equally, Di Yi would provide Gu Xin with a greater sense of security. He was progressing much better than Di An, and Gu Xin would be able to lead a comfortable life without having to worry about food or clothing. Meanwhile, Di An had been quiet and introverted since he was young and was not suited for the politics and schemes of the business world.
Of course, she had dismissed him as unsuitable for Gu Xin.
Moreover, Gu Xin did love Di Yi.
Although she felt sorry for Di An back then, she did not have much regret.
Hence, she and Gu Xin slowly and naturally distanced themselves from Di An.
Until now.
An inexplicable feeling flashed across her heart.
She knew that Gu Xin had already ‘betrayed’ Di An, but Di An still kept a piece of his heart for them. Although he was never proactive and seemed to sense their disapproval, he was still willing to treat them sincerely.
