An Accident by Lan Lin

CHAPTER 1.4

CHAPTER 1.4

Xiao Teng couldn't help grabbing him by the collar, "Haven't you had enough?" He didn't expect that one day he would say profanities smoothly like he did just now.

Rong Liu was also sensible. Seeing that he was near the attack zone, he obediently stepped back, "Since you are in a bad mood, let's talk again tonight..."

Xiao Teng swung his fist ferociously.

Rong Liu stepped aside with a good mood, and retreated to the door, "Okay, this won't do, then we'll talk about it tomorrow..."

A paperweight flew over with a whooshing sound and told him that tomorrow, tomorrow's tomorrow, or even tomorrow's tomorrow's tomorrow, was not possible.

The thing that made Secretary Wang Jing grow an extra white hair is—

Sister Huang, who was in charge of cleaning that day, told him that the rubbish collected in the Master's office actually contained fragments of the Master's most cherished curio paperweight.

Master... I failed to fulfill your entrustment...

"Isn't Rong Liu going to leave today?" The man's face seemed to be covered with ice.

Secretary Wang Jing instantly felt that the refrigerator was relatively warmer.

"Master, the plane has already taken off. He hasn't woken up yet, it's better not to disturb him..."

Disturbing Rong Liu's work and rest is a major taboo.

"What about tomorrow?!"

Secretary Wang Jing was very embarrassed, "Well, I don't know how long he's going to sleep tomorrow..."

Xiao Teng's face was cold, Wang Jing thought he was going to smash something on the wall again, but fortunately, the Master's veins palpitated for a while, and merely endured then lowered the temperature of the air-conditioning by two degrees.

It's just that the poor secretary Wang Jing felt even more like falling into an ice cave.

The business has been settled, and they did the honors to arrange everything Rong Liu's party could possibly need, entertained them, and provided for their recuperation. The rest of the accompanying people had left for the United States priorly. Unexpectedly, Rong Lou did not get lost and slept generously for two consecutive days until he missed the plane again.

Xiao Teng very much wanted to kick the man who was pretending to be sleeping to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. But he must keep his cool.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the Xiao family was still a long way behind the Rong family. Rong Liu, who was taken care of in every possible way like *a pearl in the palm, had a better life than him.

If Rong Liu was wronged by him, he would be in trouble.

"Master."

"What?"

"Since Young Master Rong Liu is still here, will he also go to the reception tonight?"

Xiao Teng had a headache again.

Rong Liu is also considered a personage, owing to the Rong family who was too fond and dotes on this

only son of the family who is said to be in poor health.

During those years, they were afraid of him dying prematurely, so they recruited all the famous doctors, making it seem like they were rescuing a national treasure. It was bustling with noise and excitement. Thanks to him, many unheard of secret remedies spread to the social circle, and were tremendously popular for a while.

However, most people only heard of Rong Liu and did not actually meet him. Rong Liu didn't spend much time in the country, and his time was limited, so he only went to a few places. He would go back to his home in Jiangnan several times a year, but he would not set foot outside his home like a flower that looks like it will die when it sees the light.

This time, this 'Emperor' honored T city with his presence. Although Xiao Teng tried his best to keep him maintain a low profile because he didn't want to invite trouble, he still refused to take him to the party as an alien to show off to everyone for them to fawn on, but if so, it would make him appear stingy.

Rong Liu seemed very happy to attend such a boring reception. He tidied up early and waited for Xiao Teng to take him there. Xiao Teng deliberately dilly dallied until it's already late before letting the driver pick him up. He welcomed him with a cold shoulder. Rong Liu, who was left out in the cold, was not mad even the slightest and kept smiling.

The more ugly Xiao Teng's complexion is, the more he smiles cutely. The happier he is, the more Xiao Teng wants to pinch him to death.

If it weren't for the fear of Rong Liu meeting a mishap, and if the accountability wouldn't be placed on his head, Xiao Teng would not let himself blindly follow suit like a bodyguard, and he wouldn't keep introducing people while they walk with his parched tongue.

Rong Liu was without saying good-looking, standing next to Xiao Teng, the paralyzed refrigeration machine, made his smile warm, almost moving the rain.

Therefore, not long after the reception started, by Xiao Teng's reference, Rong Liu's popularity index soared, almost everyone present became fond of him.

Compared with Rong Liu's popularity, Xiao Teng's fortune on human relationships has not been good, and he couldn't find anyone in the audience who was pleasing to the eye. Just after two sips of wine, he looked up and accidentally met the director of Bank C, who had recently ended the partnership.

The 40 years old director smiled at him, "How is the Elder Madam doing recently?"

The veins on Xiao Teng's forehead palpitated.

"Ah, sorry, I almost forgot, Elder Madam seems to have left home a long time ago and eloped with another man. I just don't know if she's back?"

Xiao Teng snorted, "You don't have any rights to intervene in the Xiao family's matters."

The director shook his head, "Look at what you said. I only wanted to give you some pointers out of good intentions."

Xiao Teng smiled coldly, "Guide me? It also depends on whether you have the capability."

The director burst into laughter and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Teng, you are so humorous. Even, I can't stand you, who else? Even if you learn a tenth from me, your wife will still leave you and run away."
