  Episode 132

  Yu Luo nervously smoothed out her skirt, the judges looked up, and the scene fell silent.

  "I have carefully reviewed the plans of each of you, and we adopted a voting approach to select three companies that can enter the next round. They are: San Kou (China) Real Estate Co., Ltd."

  Su Yun'er's mouth curved up in a satisfied smile, as if this was exactly what she had expected.

  Nie Group

  Only one house was left, and Yu Luo's breathing became cautious, every minute and second was a long wait.

  "The last one is a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary under Ye Shi, represented by Ms. Yu Luo."

  Yu Lu let out a sigh of relief, his heart was so excited that he couldn't speak, fortunately, the efforts of these three days were not in vain.

  The other three companies that were not shortlisted walked out of the conference room with their heads down, and the three bidding competitions were held on the same day, so it was a nerve-wracking day.

  "Now please take back your plan books, two hours later, we will have the second round of competition. During this period, you can modify your plan book at will to make it more perfect."

  "Congratulations, Yu Luo."

  Su Yun'er stopped Yu Luo, with a hypocritical smile on her face. She didn't expect that the naive and foolish woman in front of her could actually enter the second round of competition. She couldn't help but doubt whether this plan was really hers.

  "Yuner, congratulations to you too."

  "Hehe." Su Yun'er smiled and asked casually, "If I'm not mistaken, your major in college wasn't economics. I didn't expect you to come up with such a good plan. Ye must have guided you, right? You might not know this, but Ye got his master's degree in economics from Oxford University when he was 23 years old."

  Yu Luo wasn't surprised, she only knew that Ye Xiu had studied abroad in the UK and didn't know he had graduated from a world-renowned institution like Oxford University.

  "Yu Luo?"

  "Yuner, this plan was made by me, since he said it would be fair, naturally he won't help me."

  "Really?"

  Su Yun'er sneered inwardly, it seemed that she had indeed underestimated this woman. In the next round, she must not be careless. However, since Ye wouldn't help her, she was much more confident.

  Su Yun'er had just left when Nie Shao Tang walked over. Their eyes met, and Yu Luo couldn't avoid him, so she smiled politely at him.

  "Yǔ Luò, how did you end up working for the Yè family?" He had wanted to ask her this question since he saw her earlier. "Aren't you... don't you hate him?"

  Yu Luo's expression was somewhat dazed, and he slightly lowered his eyelids: "After all, he is my brother."

  "So it was."

  There was a brief silence between the two people. Behind them, an employee was moving documents into the elevator and accidentally bumped into Yu Luo, causing her to drop the documents in her hand.

  "Be careful!"

  Nie Shao Tang hastily called out, fortunately nothing was wrong. He squatted down to help her pick up the documents that had fallen on the ground, but she beat him to it.

  He stiffened and withdrew his hand, his gaze inadvertently falling on the nape of her neck and the skin in front of her chest that was exposed due to her bowed head, his face suddenly changing color.

  Yu Luo picked up the materials and nodded at Nie Shao Tang.

  "I'll go prepare the materials for the next round first."

  She turned around wanting to leave, but felt her wrist tighten, the man behind her grasped her arm tightly, his facial expression made her feel a little frightened.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Yǔ Luò, be honest with me, why did you suddenly disappear on the day of our wedding? And now, why are you working at Night Corporation? Don't give me those childish and ridiculous reasons, I won't believe them."

  Nie Shao Tang's sudden change in attitude left Yu Luo somewhat at a loss, his wrist was gripped by him and it hurt in waves.

  "I believe I've made myself clear."

  "Is it because of Ye Xiu's pressure?"

  Yu Lu's body stiffened, as if his heart had been seen through: "You're thinking too much."

  "Really?"

  "Yes."

  Yu Luo pulled back his hand with force and walked forward in a somewhat flustered manner.

  "So you willingly went to bed with him?"

  Nie Shaotang's voice was filled with intense pain.

  "What did you just say?"

  Yu Luo's footsteps paused, his face suddenly turned pale.

  A loud crash echoed in her ears as Nie Shao Tang's fist heavily hit the wall beside her, his eyes filled with pain and despair.

  "I was right, wasn't I?"

  His hand stretched out, wanting to caress the skin on her neck, but then seemed to be afraid of something, and abruptly withdrew in mid-air.

  Yu Luo hastily lowered her head, the white shirt on her body, she didn't know when, the first button had already fallen off, revealing the purplish bruise she tried to cover up, she quickly fastened the button, both hands trembling.

  "Rain, do you know how many times I've seen his mark on you? But as long as you say he's your brother, I'm willing to believe you. However, I forgot how many times this has happened, I'm a man, and I'm your boyfriend, how can I tolerate the imprint of another man on my girlfriend?"

  Yu Luo's lips were pale and her mind was a complete blank, she had no idea what she could say at this moment.

  "You never liked me, did you?"

  "Shao Tang——"

  "You never wanted to marry me in the first place, did you? Then why did you agree and give me hope?"

  With a loud "bang", Nie Shao Tang's fist heavily hit the snow-white wall, and fresh red blood immediately seeped out from his finger joints.

  "Shao Tang, don't say anymore, you're bleeding..."

  "Get your hands off me!" Nie Shao Tang suddenly roared, his eyes full of hatred, "I think you're filthy!"

  I hate your dirtiness...

  Nie Shaotang never looked at him again and turned away.

  Yu Luo's body shook violently, her head spinning, and she almost lost her balance. She slid down the wall to the ground, wanting to chase after him, but what could she say?

  "Lolo, is this what you call love?"

  Ye Xiuzhen squatted down in front of her, stretched out his hand and helped her fasten the buttons on her chest.

  Yu Luo slowly turned around, staring at the man in front of her.

  "Lolo, such a man, do you still want to help him?"

  Yu Luo suddenly opened his hands and stood up, with his back facing Ye Xiuchen, his fists clenched.

  "I will definitely win this bid, I hope you agree with me and remember it."

  Ye Xiu gazed at her departing back, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. Luo Luo, even if Nie Zhaotang treats you like this, do you still want to help him?

  Lolo, don't you know, you're so good to everyone in the world, but only cruel to me.

  Yu Luo held onto her documents and headed towards the bidding arrangement's mid-game break room, halfway there, a cramp-like pain came from her lower abdomen, below, it seemed like something had flowed out.

  She was startled and hurriedly walked towards the toilet.

  In the cubicle of the toilet, Yu Luo looked at the few red spots on her underwear with dismay. This month had come a few days early and she hadn't expected it to arrive today, so she wasn't prepared for anything.

  Just dressed up, another wave of cramps, every month these few days, she would be in so much pain that she could hardly move. Why did it have to happen at such a critical moment today?
