Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1311: Zhao Xuemo Has Fallen (Monthly Ticket)

“Boo hoo! Brother-in-law, you’ve abandoned me, you’ve abandoned me. I might as well find a piece of tofu and knock myself out! If you don’t pay attention to me, I really will find a piece of tofu and knock myself out!”

People coming and going after work all turned their attention this way.

Even some employees who knew Lin Zifeng looked at him strangely, as if blaming him for something but not daring to say it out loud.

Oh crap!

Lin Zifeng cursed inwardly, guessing those people around must have misunderstood him, the reputation of abandoning someone being not far away.

Seeing that Lin Zifeng showed no intention of stopping, Zhao Xiaoshi made an even bigger scene.

“Boo hoo! I’ve become a girl nobody wants. My cousin has already abandoned me, wouldn’t you abandon me too?”

“Shush shush shush—”

All eyes were now on Lin Zifeng’s serious face.

“This guy is so shameless, playing with the little girl and just wanting to bail out?”

Hearing those accusing voices more and more, Lin Zifeng felt a headache coming on, and he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“I say Zhao Xiaoshi, what do you want from me? What do you want from me? Didn’t I already explain to you that I have nothing to do with your cousin, why do you keep haunting me like a ghost? Please, have a heart and let me go.”

Lin Zifeng’s tone carried a sob, he was really driven crazy by this damn girl.

“Then come home with me!”

Zhao Xiaoshi suddenly switched from crying to a joyful tone.

“No way!” Lin Zifeng refused.

“Why not! I’m seriously inviting you this time!”

Zhao Xiaoshi stepped forward and grabbed his arm, refusing to let go.

“Hey, girl, don’t think you can run a dye house just because I’ve given you some color, let go. So many people are still watching.”

“No! I just want to hug my brother-in-law like this. It makes me feel warm inside.”

“You’re warm, but I’m in pain.”

“Why? Don’t you like it when girls hug you like this?” Zhao tilted her head, looking at him with a giggle.

“…” Lin Zifeng was speechless, if I told you that I don’t like it because I might think about it in a bad way?

“Come on, brother-in-law, so many people are watching, if you dare to shake off my hand now, I believe your image in the company will definitely become a subject of discussion among all the women! You’ll be labeled as a man who starts things and doesn’t finish them!”

“Are you threatening me?”

Only then did Lin Zifeng realize that many people had already turned their eyes towards them, and judging from what this girl said, if he dared to shake her off now, he really would become that kind of man.

“Hehe, it’s not a threat, it’s leverage!”

Damn your leverage! Lin Zifeng fumed, holding back a curse that almost spilled out.

“Alright, brother-in-law, today you belong to me, I’m taking you back to see my cousin, maybe your presence will give her an unexpected surprise.”

“Why!”

Lin Zifeng was confused, still not understanding what she meant.

“Because you are my future brother-in-law!”

Zhao Xiaoshi said confidently.

“…”

Lin Zifeng said nothing further and got into Zhao Xiaoshi’s car, quickly leaving this place of trouble.

In the car, Lin Zifeng glanced back at the now somewhat unfamiliar and cold Tianyu Group, suspecting he would probably visit very seldom in the future.

Because here, he couldn’t find the same kind of happiness he once had…

In the car, Lin Zifeng learned that Zhao Xuemo, Zhao Xiaoshi’s cousin, had resigned from Tianyu and had been staying at home all these days, going nowhere, seemingly ill.

Upon inquiry, Zhao Xiaoshi said it was because of a man that her cousin ended up like this.

In order to find a cure for her cousin, Zhao Xiaoshi had been at Tianyu for quite some time, and today she happened to see Lin Zifeng coming out of the building.

Speaking of the man, Lin Zifeng found it somewhat strange.

Could it be that Zhao Xuemo’s fiancé had returned from abroad?

Or was it because of that man, Zhao Xuemo was upset?

However, with Lin Zifeng’s keen insight, he seemed to feel that the man Zhao Xiaoshi mentioned shared some similarities with his own experiences.

It was said that Zhao Xuemo’s fiancé had never met her since childhood, and five years ago his parents mysteriously disappeared, and later there was no more news of him.

Yet this year, Lin Zifeng’s return coincided with reports from abroad that Zhao Xuemo’s former boyfriend was back!

Instantly, Zhao Xuemo and Zhao Xiaoshi both pointed fingers at Lin Zifeng, because Lin Zifeng had confessed to them before that his own parents also disappeared five years ago, and now his return happened to coincide with Zhao Xuemo’s fiancé in some uncanny ways. But Lin Zifeng had never thought about this matter.

Zhao Xuemo also explained that that man, while having similar experiences as Lin Zifeng, was definitely not Lin Zifeng.

“Cousin!”

As soon as they entered Zhao Xuemo’s house and opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol filled his nostrils, along with an unusually strong smell of smoke.

The room appeared messy, with most of the floor littered with empty wine bottles and cigarette butts.

“Cousin!”

Zhao Xiaoshi ran into the bedroom to call her cousin, while Lin Zifeng looked around the empty, bleak room and his mood immediately dropped.

For a lady’s place to be in such a state of neglect, it was obvious Zhao Xuemo had been dealing with something troubling lately.

“Are you okay?” Lin Zifeng walked into the bedroom and saw Zhao Xuemo leaning against the bedhead, her eyes dull, her complexion ashen, with disheveled hair, clearly not in a good mood.

Life was miserable.

“You!”

Zhao Xuemo also saw Lin Zifeng, their eyes met, then Zhao Xuemo’s gaze suddenly fell.

“What happened that you are torturing yourself like this?” Lin Zifeng felt a pang in his heart, as if it were being twisted with a knife. Since she quit Tianyu, she’d been shutting herself in at home all this time, not going out, not dressing up, drinking when awake, and sleeping when drunk.

Completely living a fallen life.

These days, he was too busy, so he basically lost touch with the women he’d had relationships with.

To his surprise, after all this time, Zhao Xuemo was nothing like the vibrant, career-strong woman she used to be.

And she’d even resigned from Tianyu Group.

“You, why are you here?” Zhao Xuemo’s expression turned nervous, embarrassed to be seen in such a fallen state, she lowered her head even further.

“Cousin, please don’t be like this, I don’t want to see you like this, it really hurts me to see you like this.”

Zhao Xiaoshi teared up.

She began sobbing as her emotions overflowed.
