Bad Egg Brother Saved Me - Broken Winged Angel Chapter 126
Nie Shaotang hastily helped the person up from the ground, without showing any disgust, took off his clothes and put them on her, and used the sleeves of his white shirt to wipe away the dirty water from her body.
"Little Hall?"
After seeing the person clearly, Yu Luo was not surprised. Her mind was racing quickly, and no matter what, she couldn't figure out why Nie Shao Tang would appear here.
She grasped his sleeve tightly, with many words wanting to be said in her heart, but didn't know which one to utter first.
"Rain... Luo..."
Nie Shaotang's hand paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his throat choking.
Yu Luo only then discovered that Nie Shao Tang's originally handsome face had become frighteningly gaunt, his peach blossom eyes had lost their luster, and his chin was covered in a rough stubble, looking as if he hadn't rested well for several days and nights.
"Yǔ Luò, tell me, how did you end up here?"
At first, he thought he had misseen it. They had clearly agreed to get married, but she disappeared without a word. He went crazy searching for her all over the world, but there was no news at all.
He should have thought of that long ago. In this world, there is a person who doesn't know her news? Moreover, as long as he wants, no one except him can get her news.
But he could hardly believe that the person who had just fallen to the ground in the toilet was her, how could she be allowed to be ordered to clean up the men's toilet?
There are too many things he can't figure out, and there are too many questions he wants to ask.
"Yu Luo——"
He grasped her hand tightly, wanting to ask her why she didn't wait for him and why she wanted to break off the engagement.
Ye Xiu stood at the entrance, coldly staring at the man and woman in front of him. His dark eyes were deep and bottomless, and his five fingers hidden in his pocket had already turned white with tension.
She would rather do the dirtiest and most tiring work like a cleaning worker than bow her head to him? Now, seeing the man she has been thinking about day and night, is she so excited that she can't even speak?
"Shao Tang, who is she?"
A middle-aged man emerged from the crowd, slightly stout in build but still with a stern expression.
"Mom, she is—"
Nie Shao Tang's throat choked, and he suddenly discovered that he had never figured out what kind of relationship he and she were in. He was afraid, and the three words "fiancée" were hard to swallow back into his mouth.
"Shao Tang." Nie Yongnian's eyes narrowed, "Don't forget what we came here for today."
Yu Luo felt that Nie Shao Tang's body stiffened, she thought it was because of her relationship with him that made his father unhappy, so she smiled and comforted him.
"Shaotang, you go ahead and take care of your business, I'm fine."
Nie Shao Tang looked at her pale little face with a heartache and nodded after a long while.
"Xiao Yu Luo, wait for me, I'll come find you later."
"Good."
Having obtained her affirmative promise, Nie Shao Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly instructed her to wait for him before reluctantly leaving.
He told himself that on the wedding day, she must have had an unbearable grievance, and he would definitely ask her clearly later.
Yu Luo watched as Nie Shao Tang's back disappeared into the distance, but her eyes met a pair of deep, dark eyes. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, the smile on her face instantly gone.
Ye Xiu turned around and left coldly, with a large group of high-level executives immediately following behind him.
It wasn't until two hours later that the toilet was finally cleaned, Yu Luo wiped off the stains on his body with a wet towel and dried himself with a hair dryer before returning to his seat.
Director Liu seems to have gone to a meeting as well, so she had half an afternoon of free time and stared blankly at the computer for a while.
Nie Shao Tang, how did he end up at the Ye's? And earlier, was that his father? She had heard that the former president of the Nie family had retired from business after handing over the company to Nie Shao Tang, so why had he come to the Ye's this time?
The secretary of Director Liu rushed over with a stack of files, and Yu Luo's position happened to be next to hers, so she got up and poured her a cup of coffee.
Lin Secretary was not as sharp-tongued as Director Liu, and when she took the coffee, she nodded her head in thanks. Yu Luo handed her the coffee, seemingly unintentionally asking.
"Lin sister, may I ask, is there something going on with Mr. Nie's CEO coming today?"
Lin's secretary was busy, constantly typing information into the computer and said casually.
"Nie's family is about to collapse, so I've come to our Ye family hoping for cooperation."
"What?"
Lin Secretary looked at her surprised expression: "Don't you know? The newspapers and media have been making a big fuss about it these past few days."
"Really? Is it?"
Yu Luo absent-mindedly returned to her own seat, opened the computer, and searched for the three words "Nie Shao Tang". Immediately, countless news articles appeared, all centered around a single theme.
"Nie's CEO and right-hand man absconded with funds, Nie on the verge of bankruptcy."
What's going on? These past few days, she really hadn't paid attention to the news from the media, but didn't expect something so big would happen to NIE.
She patiently clicked open the news one by one, her face gradually turning pale. The electronic newspaper reported that Nie's CEO had not gone to work for a week due to some reason, and the people of Nie's company were in disarray. The finance minister took advantage of the situation and escaped with a large sum of money.
One week?
Yu Luo felt a pang in her heart. It was just last week that they had agreed on their wedding day, and since then, he hadn't gone to work at all?
It turned out that Nie's family was on the verge of bankruptcy, but was she the culprit?
She made him so miserable, but he still saw her gentle and smiling, without a word of complaint. She didn't know how to face him like this.
"Yuluo, are you okay?" Secretary Lin looked at Yuluo's pale face with concern. "Are you sick?"
Yu Luo hesitated and nodded: "Lin sister, help me ask the minister for a leave of absence, I'm not feeling well."
"Okay, go to the hospital and take a look."
Yu Luo murmured a response, stood up to pack his things, thought for a moment, then took off the outerwear he was still wearing that belonged to Nie Shao Tang and placed it on the table.
As she left, a disordered footsteps echoed from behind, those high-ranking executives had already dispersed, Yu Luo was startled and hastily pressed the elevator button to rush in.
Nie Yongnian's eyebrows were tightly locked, and Nie Shao-tang, who was following behind him, seemed to be in a state of despair as well. It appears that this collaboration did not achieve the results that the Nie family had hoped for.
"Mr. Ye, aren't you going to reconsider?"
Nie Yongnian looked at Ye Xiuchen with a thick old face, while Ye Xiuchen's expression remained unchanged.
"Mr. Nie, given the current situation of the Nie family, it is indeed impossible for them to become the first choice of the Ye family, and they cannot even compete with the other few companies."
Nie Yong let out a sigh.
Nie Shaotang's face looked very bad: "Dad, I've already said it before, he won't help the Ye family, why do you have to be so humble and ask him?"
He didn't forget the entanglement between him and Ye Shu Xun, and he agreed to come to the Ye's residence today just because he wanted to ask where Yu Luo was. Now that he has seen her, everything else is unimportant to him.
