She seemed to be easy to get along with. Wu Man thought to herself. The people here did not hide their origins at all. Even the mistress would not feel ashamed of her identity.
“It’s just fair competition.” She lowered her head and fixed her nails that were painted with red cardamom.
“By the way, Wu Man, which family are you from?” The colleague who introduced her asked, and then her gaze fell on her. At the same time, a few people at the side also became interested in her identity, and they all looked at her.
Wu Man smiled bitterly. Whose family was she from? Even she herself could not explain clearly. Lin Ziqian had divorced her, and now that the two of them were no longer husband and wife in name, she disdained to use Lin Ziqian’s name to make a living for herself.
This job was arranged for her by Li Dongsheng, so she should be one of Li Dongsheng’s people. However, ever since she was forced to return to the Lin family, even though she did not greet Li Dongsheng before she left, Li Dongsheng had indeed not contacted her even once in the past few days.
Wu Man did not blame him in her heart. He had already helped her a lot and that was enough. There was such a huge disparity between their strengths and statuses. Under such circumstances, it would not end well for the two of them to be together. Perhaps it did not matter if such a relationship ended just like that. Moreover, she did not intend to continue working here.
“Wu Man, come over here for a moment.” Coincidentally, the director’s appearance at this moment helped her out of her predicament. Wu Man heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She followed the director to the office. She was unwilling to continue working in the bank by relying on Li Dongsheng’s connections, but she was in a hurry to use the money to escape from the Lin family.
She really could not think of an answer to her colleague’s questions, so she could only act like an ostrich. She did not say a word about such questions, and she avoided them as much as possible. But what Wu Man did not expect was that Li Dongsheng did not look for her. In fact, he had gone on a business trip and only returned tonight.
He had gone on a business trip for three days, and when he returned, he found that his home was empty. There were no signs of life, and the furniture was covered in a thin layer of dust. Li Dongsheng looked at the clean room and could not suppress the anger in his heart. He could not understand why Wu Man would run away. He had given her a place to live, a job, and a stable environment. Why would she leave his side and not wait for him to come back?
Li Dongsheng gritted his teeth and dialed his assistant’s number. “Find me Wu Man’s exact location!”
The assistant, who was sorting through the documents on the other end of the phone, was shocked. This was the first time he had seen the mayor so angry, and it was over a woman.
“It’s her… Ever since you left, the person in charge of delivering breakfast and dinner to Miss Wu called to say that there was no one at home.” The assistant cleared his throat and recalled the situation reported by the person who delivered the food earlier. He reported the truth to Li Dongsheng.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” Li Dongsheng pressed between his brows and forced himself to calm down, but he found that he could not suppress his anger at all.
After hearing what the assistant said, it seemed like Wu Man had planned it all along, waiting for him to leave and then taking the opportunity to sneak away.
“At that time, I saw that you were too busy with a meeting, and it wasn’t a big deal for you to leave…” the assistant answered as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He had previously thought that it wasn’t a big deal, but now, it had really become a big deal that could get him fired. “Got it..”
