Chapter 1369: Reprimand

Lu Zhenzhen shot a glance, practically on the verge of cursing her.

Mother Lu happened to be walking over, and Mr.

Lu whispered, “Zhenzhen, your mom has had a cold for the past few days, went to the hospital for an IV, and took medicine.

She only just got better today.”

Lu Zhenzhen’s heart skipped a beat, “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Just a minor cold, your mom didn’t let me say anything.

We ran into Ah Zhe at the hospital; he was the one taking care, running back and forth.

If he hadn’t helped your mom in and out of the car, my old bones wouldn’t have managed.

He even went for a follow-up at the hospital this morning.

Your mom insisted on having Ah Zhe stay for a meal, he couldn’t refuse, but he privately asked me for the time you were coming home.

He planned to leave before you got back, but I lied to him.”

Deliberately pushed the time later.

That’s how they ended up bumping into each other.

“Also, your mom doesn’t know about you and Ah Zhe.”

Lu Zhenzhen clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She couldn’t stand being played, yet she’s always obedient in front of Mother Lu.

She didn’t say a word, even at the dinner table she showed no sign of a crack with Gao Zhe.

She ate all the shrimp peeled by Gao Zhe, and as he was folding a couple of napkins, she naturally leaned over for him to wipe her mouth.

After the meal, Mother Lu packed a lot of pastries, as well as brewed milk tea, splitting them into several cups for Nan Jiaojiao.

Additionally, she prepared a portion of pastries and pear water for Gao Zhe to take back for his parents to taste.

Before leaving, Mr.

Lu called Gao Zhe into the study.

Lu Zhenzhen would usually wait to leave with Gao Zhe.

Today was no different.

But the relationship had changed; she lost her patience, kept checking the time, couldn’t bear waiting any longer, and went straight to the study to call him.

Mr.

Lu had no choice but to let him go.

His expression clearly showed there were still words left unsaid, yet he was mindful of Lu Zhenzhen’s presence, swallowing them back down, only instructing briefly, “If anything happens, call me.

I’ve stepped down now, the company is all in Zhenzhen’s hands.

Support her more, and in any situation, give me a call, understand?”

“Alright,” Gao Zhe agreed.

He had his back towards the doorway, so Lu Zhenzhen didn’t see the lack of warmth on Gao Zhe’s face.

“Gao, are you leaving or not?”

Gao Zhe said goodbye to Mr.

Lu and turned around, taking a step forward as Lu Zhenzhen spun on her heel to leave, grabbing the car keys and calling out to Nan Jiaojiao.

She pressed the elevator button only after Gao Zhe arrived.

He casually took Lu Zhenzhen’s coat from the clothes rack and exited the elevator.

The temperature in the garage was low, so he draped the coat over Lu Zhenzhen’s shoulders, “Don’t catch a chill.”

Lu Zhenzhen pulled the clothes off and was about to toss them into the garbage.

“Don’t throw it there.

If Mom and Dad see it, hand it to me.”

Lu Zhenzhen paused, walked back, and threw the clothes at him, unintentionally, but the clothing was tossed towards Gao Zhe’s face.

He raised a hand and caught it.

Lu Zhenzhen had already gotten into the car, yet delayed driving off, suddenly reversing, and quickly walked up to Gao Zhe.

Her eyebrow corners and eye edges were all mixed with anger.

“Just remember, we’ve broken up.

This is the last time.

From now on, whether it’s intentional or not, don’t come here.

Even if my parents call you, find an excuse to decline.

This is my home, seeing you here makes me sick.

I was being polite to you before.

Today’s matters are settled, but there won’t be a next time.

Moreover, those are my parents, what nonsense are you talking about!”

Gao Zhe remained silent, letting her lash out.

Any other man wouldn’t tolerate a single sentence of this.
