Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 181

"You're a liar!" Jiang Mei Ling loosened herself from his grip and hurriedly went out of the makes.h.i.+ft lounge . She went back into her car before anyone could notice her .

The cast and crew went to resume the filming after their lunch break .

Lu Shaoting, who had not eaten a bite, calmly took his place behind the scenes, ready to resume work . His professionalism is in a way too strict . He acted as if nothing happened . His mood did not even reflect how he treated others . He remained patient with them, without compromising the quality of the production .

Jiang Mei Ling drove to the Lu estate, and with her emotions came the reports of her husband's recent activities to her in-laws .

This made the old couple personally request an audience with their son at the Luxe Entertainment Chairman's Office .

"How dare you ignore your wife like that? You even went to meet that woman! How many times do we have to tell you not to a.s.sociate yourself with her?! She . . . we're not even sure if she is really your cousin! She just came out of nowhere and claimed being related to us . She might be scamming you!"

A lot more insults came his way . He never interrupted what they were saying .

After they sighed and finally stopped yelling at him, Lu Shaoting looked them in the eyes .

"This is the first time I failed to fully inform my wife of my whereabouts and activities . I had always been on her beck and call, even for unreasonable and petty things . I did everything without complaint because I love my wife . This is the first time I wronged her . That was why I explained my side . However, telling you something I told her out of confidence is betraying me . I cannot believe that she chose not to understand me . . . just . this . once . I also have my pride as a man . You could tell her that unless everyone of you will try to see through my eyes, I will be out of your sight from now on . "

With that, he strode away, leaving his parents dumfounded .

That day, Lu Shaoting booked an overseas flight no one else knows where .

"You . You bought the flowers for the backdrop?!" Ming Rus.h.i.+ was not in the slightest good mood as she checked the venue for the fas.h.i.+on show of the newest bridal collection of XCG .

"Ye-yes . . . Director Ming . . . " the subordinate stuttered and s.h.i.+vered before her .

"How could you pick something this awful?! This is a bridal collection! The flowers look dead! How did you even manage to land yourself in the marketing department?!"

"I . . . Director . . . I'm . . . I'm sorry!" The poor woman hurriedly went and took a flower arrangement away as she was tear-jerky .

"Director Ming . " A deep steady voice suddenly called out to Ming Rus.h.i.+ .

She swiftly turned and had a look of shock for a second before turning into her professional expression . "CEO Xiu . " She bowed .

"Is this how you treat our employees?" Masaichi Xiu had a poker face on .

"CEO, I am in charge of this event . I had given them the color scheme for the decorations 3 weeks ago . Forgive my actions, but I deemed it necessary to reemphasize my point . "

"Do you think they would improve using that approach?" He was trying to provoke her .

Ming Rus.h.i.+ will not back down . "CEO, as a subordinate, I am open to suggestions on supervision for the improvement of the company's workforce . " She eyed him mockingly, waiting for his orders .

"Secretary Ta . " he called .

Romina Ta had an indifferent expression behind her gla.s.ses . She maintained her professionalism despite of her roller coaster emotions the day before . She will never allow others to mock her because she let her emotions prevail . No one can trample her pride .

She walked until she was a step behind her boss . "Yes, CEO?"

"I will give you an hour to fix this mess she created . " His chin pointed to Ming Rus.h.i.+ .

"Yes, CEO . " Secretary Ta bowed and moved to take her leave .

"Wait . " Masaichi eyed Ming Rus.h.i.+ .

Romina Ta held her breath . She did not want to stay for a minute longer . She was having a hard time holding onto her emotions .

"Take Director Ming with you . She needed some tips in mobilizing her subordinates . " He gave Ming Rus.h.i.+ a snicker before he strode away from them .

Romina Ta glanced at his retreating back before turning to the lady who was about to lose her temper .
