Bad Egg Brother Released My Broken-Winged Angel Chapter 124

  "Miss Rain, is your graduation certificate a fake?"

  Ye Shi, in the building of the accounting department, a girl dressed neatly with her head down, was scolded for who knows how many times today.

  The head of the accounting department, Director Liu, was a spinster who didn't compromise on anything. She wore a stiff suit, flat black leather shoes, and a pair of black-framed glasses perched on her nose bridge. Even her hair was pulled back into a tight bun. At this moment, she was sharply criticizing the girl in front of her, who looked very innocent and pure despite wearing a formal outfit.

  "Sorry, Director Liu, I'll redo it right away."

  Director Liu snorted, she had looked down on this kind of employee who came in through the back door from the very beginning, especially female employees. It was said that this time it was a direct order from the CEO's office. Did they think they were superior just because they were young? Wait until they got tired of being played with, then they would know what the outcome would be.

  "Miss Yu, our company is a high-efficiency one, if you can't take it, you can quit."

  Yu Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart - resign? She didn't have a choice.

  "Director Liu, I understand. I will definitely sort out these documents within today."

  "Since Miss Yu volunteered for overtime, I naturally have no opinion. Tomorrow morning, I will personally check these files."

  Director Liu adjusted his glasses and walked past Yu Luo with an air of superiority, his elbow bent as he clutched a file folder. He bumped into Yu Luo, who was caught off guard and lost her balance, causing the documents in her hand to scatter all over the floor.

  She hastily squatted down to pick them up, but those files that had not been bound yet were already out of order.

  Today is Yu Luo's first day of work, and her task is to translate the company's monthly accounting reports for the past three years into English and archive them. Her English foundation was not good to begin with, and after typing away on the computer all day, she barely managed to get everything sorted out. In the meantime, she was called upon multiple times to serve tea and water, but Director Liu was still dissatisfied, took a glance at her work, and handed it back to her, asking her to redo it.

  Now, these materials are also in disarray, and it's another massive project. It seems that I won't be able to get off work before 12 o'clock tonight.

  The night shift stipulated by the company is around five o'clock. When the time comes, colleagues in the accounting department will leave one after another. At eight o'clock, only Director Liu and Yu Luo are left in the entire accounting building.

  In front of the computer, Luoyi's line of sight frequently shifted back and forth between the computer screen and the documents on the table. Her ten fingers numbly tapped away at the keyboard, those complex English words giving her a headache. Having worked for a whole day without stopping to rest for even a moment, it seemed like her brain wasn't even hers anymore. Her eyes were stimulated by the light emitted from the screen, feeling sour and painful, she really wanted to lie down and take a break.

  She told herself that she would just rest for a bit and then continue, definitely finishing the task before getting off work. So she could no longer hold on, closed her eyes and lay down on the desk to rest.

  It wasn't until after a while that the door to the minister's office opened, and the slight noise made Yu Luo, who had dozed off, reflexively open her eyes. She saw Minister Liu walking out of the office with a smile on his face. She immediately straightened up, tense and ready to accept another round of scolding, but instead, he didn't even glance in her direction and walked straight towards the elevator across from them.

  Yu Lu followed her line of sight and looked over there, at the elevator entrance, a tall and straight man with his hands in his pockets, his facial features obscured by the dim light, she didn't know when he appeared, she hastily lowered her head, not looking at him.

  "Director, how did you come?"

  Director Liu's voice was full of flattery, and just listening to it could imagine her flattering face.

  Ye Xiu responded with a soft "hm" and glanced at Yu Wenzhou who was not far away.

  Director Liu was sharp-tongued and thin-skinned, but also a clever person. As he turned his thoughts over in his mind, he guessed that the president had come down personally, and it might be because of that woman, so he hastily flattered him.

  "Miss Rain worked diligently on her first day of work, truly worthy of everyone's study."

  "Is that so?" Ye Xiuzhen withdrew his gaze, but the dark pupils had already recorded the tired little face of Yu Luo.

  Director Liu started to get flustered, guessing that the CEO must be angry, as he had personally assigned someone who was now working overtime.

  "Uh, President, about Rain's matter, it's actually already been taken care of. She insisted on working overtime, you see..."

  Yu Luo just wanted to speak, but Ye Xiuchen said instead.

  "Director Liu is worrying too much. I just happened to drop by each department for a look, and Director Liu was accompanying the employees working overtime. This kind of spirit is indeed rare."

  As soon as he finished speaking, his long legs stepped forward and entered the elevator.

  Director Liu nodded and sent her off with a smile, feeling delighted in his heart. He glanced at the person sitting in front of the computer and felt even more contemptuous. It turned out that he had overestimated her, as the CEO didn't think much of her anyway. It seemed like he was just tired of playing with her quickly.

  She walked up to Yu Luo and slapped down another report.

  "Miss Rain, you've worked hard tonight."

  Having said that, he packed up his things and left.

  Yu Luo's heart couldn't express what she was feeling, although a whole day of exhaustion didn't bother her, yet somehow being caught by him while sneaking a rest made an inexplicable sense of grievance surge up uncontrollably.

  She furrowed her brow and held back the warmth in her eyes, arranging the materials in order. There was still half left, it seemed she had to speed up.

  "Bang!"

  She had just lifted her head when all the lights on the entire floor went out, leaving only the computer in front of her still emitting a faint glow.

  She paused, the materials were tightly grasped together and then loosened, after a while, her ten fingers covered the black keyboard again, inputting letters relying on memory repeatedly.

  When she came out of the Nights' building, it was already dawn. Walking on the quiet streets, she suddenly realized that the bag she had been carrying with her was left in the office. She thought about going back to get it, but it was too late. The security guard had locked the door after she left.

  On the bustling streets, pedestrians became sparse, but vehicles still came and went. Standing by the road, Yu Luo suddenly felt that she didn't know where to go.

  Is Nai Shao's house? How should she face the man who deeply loves her now? The Night House? That is where her dreams stretch out, if possible, she would not want to go back for a lifetime.

  However, unfortunately, it cannot be done.

  It's quite far from Night Mansion, if you walk, it will probably take several hours.

  She let out a sigh, and Yu Luo dragged her tired body forward aimlessly, feeling waves of pain in her knee. It was because the lights in the accounting department's building had been turned off, and she had accidentally bumped into a table when she left, scraping her skin and leaving a patch of blood.

  "Miss."

  A black RV pulled up beside her and the window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

  Mo Si got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Yu Luo. After a moment's hesitation, she got in.

  The car started and sped towards the night mansion.

  "Mo Si, how did you end up here?"

  Mo Si's hand on the steering wheel paused, but he didn't respond to Yu Luo's words.

  Yu Luo's heart sank, and she stopped asking. Perhaps the answer wasn't what she wanted.

  Back at Night House, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning.

  Mo Si went to park the car alone, while Yu Luo entered the living room. The spacious and luxurious villa was shrouded in an air of mystery and horror due to the arrival of night, and it was eerily quiet.

  The living room was not lit, Yu didn't want to disturb the person, so he felt his way up the stairs in the dark. His knee hurt from a previous injury and it hurt even more with every move. As he turned the corner of the staircase, his foot accidentally slipped and his knee heavily hit the marble step. The pain shot up and tears almost immediately flowed out.

  Yu Luo gritted her teeth, one hand covering her knee and the other grasping the stair railing to support her body weight as she struggled to get up. She could feel sticky blood seeping through her fingers and flowing down her calf.

  She bit her lower lip tightly, not allowing herself to make any sound, trying to lift the other foot up the stairs, but pulled on the wound, and couldn't move at all, neither up nor down. She gritted her teeth, suddenly lifted the other leg, a sharp pain came, the wound felt like it was torn apart, her hand went limp, and her body lost its balance, falling onto the stairs.

  "Bang!"

  The bright light suddenly lit up, and the dark surroundings were instantly ignited. Yu Luo was startled, and a pair of long and powerful legs appeared in front of him.

  Ye Xiu didn't say a word, his thin lips pursed tightly as he looked down at the disheveled figure sprawled on the stairs, waiting for her to speak up and ask him.

  Yu Luo hung his head low, his teeth biting into his lips until they were almost bleeding, yet he still refused to speak.

  The two people were deadlocked, neither willing to give in.

  It wasn't until she had lost a lot of blood that Yu Luo's head started to spin, telling herself that she couldn't keep going on like this. She mustered up all her strength and stood up, tentatively taking a step forward with one leg, but in the next second, the injured leg couldn't bear the weight of her body and buckled under, and her thin frame was about to fall backwards.

  No expected pain, no anticipated collision, the waist was caught by a pair of warm and large palms, and the body was lightened, and then it was held in someone's arms.

  Yu Luo didn't want him to hold her, and instinctively wanted to struggle, but she didn't know that the long-term blood loss had made her body so weak, all her struggles were painless and itchless for him.

  "Don't move if you don't want to die!"

  Ye Xiuzhen coldly threw out a sentence, Yu Luo's eyes met his tightly pursed lips, that was his usual expression when he was angry.

  What's he angry about? Seeing her in such a sorry state, shouldn't he be happy instead? Fourteen years ago, he drove his mother to death; for these fourteen years, he must have been wanting to kill her all along.

  The door was heavily kicked open, and Yu Luo was put on the big bed by Ye Xiuchen, with a gentle movement that made her think it was an illusion.

  He turned to fetch a first-aid kit, but Yu Luo was unwilling to linger for even a moment longer. This was his room, and she didn't want to stay here one second more.

  However, before her toes touched the ground, he had already walked back, saw her movement, and his black eyes sank.

  Ye Xiu stepped forward with large strides, his movements no longer gentle, and even roughly pushed her onto the bed.
