Chapter 156: Chapter 156 I am not a parasite Chapter 156: Chapter 156 I am not a parasite Lu Wanwan saw that she didn’t seem to be joking, “Really got robbed? Where? Did you call the police? Who was so bold, you didn’t beat them up?”
“Calling the police is useless.” Xu Yuan wrapped her arm around her, “Come on, come on, stop dillydallying, I don’t want to stay here for another half a minute.”
Xu Yuan dragged her to the road and they got in a taxi.
“Driver, to Standy Road,” Xu Yuan commanded boldly.
“Wait a second, who said we’re going to Standy Road!”
Xu Yuan was very dissatisfied, “You’re not worrying about the expense, are you? Your fiancé is so rich, no need to save money for him!”
Lu Wanwan gave her a look, “Driver, Seaside Road number 38. She’s broke, don’t listen to her.”
The driver chuckled, “Then I’ll listen to whoever is paying.”
“Big sister, get it straight, I’m still an intern, I haven’t finished work yet.” She explained while taking out a few hundred yuan for Xu Yuan, “Take care of yourself on the way home later.”
“This empress does not approve!”
“It’s just a stolen wallet, then go report it to the police,” Lu Wanwan teased on purpose.
Initially, hearing about the stolen wallet was a shock, but seeing Xu Yuan’s reaction, she quickly understood.
It definitely wasn’t a petty thief or a criminal, otherwise, with her temperament, she wouldn’t have let it go so easily.
But Xu Yuan wasn’t the type to share her troubles, so if she wasn’t talking, Lu Wanwan wouldn’t press her for answers.
Xu Yuan was indeed stopped by that statement, holding her head in her hands and looking up, “Tired and unloved, let’s end our friendship here.”
“I really need to go back for a bit, I told the editor I’d be back in the afternoon, I have to go clock in,” Lu Wanwan comforted, “Look at your severe dark circles, go back and get some sleep, we’ll go out tonight.”
“Gu Annan is so rich, yet you still work, even clocking in…”
She paused, then nodded, “His wealth is his, I’m not a parasite.”
No one knows how solid that marriage is, Lu Wanwan still doesn’t understand why Gu Annan is the way he is, because he doesn’t seem like someone who obediently follows his parents’ wishes.
These years of independent living, she has become accustomed to relying on herself.
Even though he gave her a card, she didn’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
Reluctantly, Xu Yuan agreed. The car stopped near the newspaper office, and Lu Wanwan temporarily said goodbye to her, agreeing to meet up later that evening.
She wasn’t very keen on attending Yi Cheng’s farewell dinner, but felt uncomfortable declining, planning to use Xu Yuan as an excuse to leave early after the meal.
“Leaving? Xiaowan, that’s where you’re wrong. It’s only seven o’clock now, what urgent matter could you have?” A slightly tipsy male colleague spoke very seriously, “Once Yi Cheng resigns, we probably won’t have a chance to see each other again. Aren’t you going to properly finish the last meal?”
Lu Wanwan held her phone, her face also showing difficulty.
She knew these male colleagues usually had a good relationship, often liked to joke around with her.
“Big Liu Brother, I really have something to take care of. And everyone has almost finished eating…”
“Having almost finished eating, aren’t there entertainment activities to follow? I’m not criticizing you, sister, but you participate too little in group activities. We’ve let it slide before, but today’s main character is Yi Cheng!”
“Xiaoyi, tsk tsk, you haven’t spoken yet… they’re waiting for you to ask them to stay!”
The colleague next to Yi Cheng teased, egging him on.
Yi Cheng would usually speak up to stop the teasing when he saw her discomfort.
But now, Yi Cheng sat among those few men, watching Lu Wan without saying a word.
