God of Racing-Chapter 426 - 419

Early the next morning, Lu Jinxuan entered the office, and Yu Sangwan and Le Zhengsheng were already there. To be precise, they hadn't gone home all night.

Lu Jinxuan glanced at them coldly, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Yu Sangwan's heart twisted with worry about being scolded by him next.

"Don't be afraid." Le Zhengsheng squeezed her hand, "I'm here."

"Hmph." Lu Jinxuan smirked and looked over, "Miss Yu, the big talk you made yesterday, can you deliver on it this morning?"

"I..." Yu Sangwan was unsure, tightly closing her lips without speaking.

Le Zhengsheng stepped forward, "We didn't sleep a wink last night and could only recover this much... we can let them start the work first and catch up later."

"Is that so?"

Lu Jinxuan reached out, picked up the documents in front of Yu Sangwan, and carefully reviewed them.

Yu Sangwan watched him cautiously, her heart pounding.

With a 'bang', Lu Jinxuan slammed a stack of papers on the table, his tone contemptuous, "What is this? Are you sure this is correct?"

"I..." Yu Sangwan was uncertain, "Isn't it right? I tried really hard to recall."

Lu Jinxuan was exasperated, closing his eyes, "Yu Sangwan, this isn't child's play... it's not about just trying hard! Do you even understand what Donghua's anniversary celebration means?"

"I..." Yu Sangwan felt incredibly guilty, especially since she had already felt bad about her mistake, not to mention being criticized by her ex-lover?

She stood up abruptly, feeling aggrieved, "I'm not professional! I told you I couldn't do it back then! It was you... you insisted on letting me... now that it's not done well, you criticize me like this, weren't you... weren't you..."

... not like this!

Yu Sangwan wanted to say that but couldn't bring herself to speak.

Their eyes met, both reminded of the sweetness of the past, and how dearly he spoiled her!

"Sigh..." Lu Jinxuan let out an almost inaudible sigh, his attitude was about to soften.

However, Yu Sangwan spoke first, "I'm not doing this anymore! Just fire me!"

"What?" Lu Jinxuan raised an eyebrow, "Is this your attitude? I entrust you with such an important task, and after hitting a small bump, you want to shrink back?"

"What else can I do? I'm not doing it well!" Yu Sangwan tilted her chin up, confronting him.

"Even if you're not doing it well, you have to shoulder it!" Lu Jinxuan snapped sternly, "You're not a child anymore, work can't be treated as child's play!"

He glared at her fiercely and stormed out.

"..." Yu Sangwan froze, was this still the Lu Jinxuan who used to say 'as you please' to her?

Is it that if they couldn't be lovers, they must become enemies? Is Mu Qinglan all he sees now? Of course, with so many years of feelings, how could she compare?

Lu Jinxuan turned back, shouting angrily, "Come out! If you've made a mistake, you need to make amends!"

Yu Sangwan clenched her teeth, felt wronged with reddened eyes, didn't say a word, and followed him out.

The construction team had arrived and was waiting for instructions.

The site manager saw them come out and hurried over to Lu Jinxuan, "Mr. Jiang, this batch of workers just arrived and are waiting for arrangements. How should we arrange it?"

"Hmm." Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, "First, arrange for them to settle in..."

He took out a portable hard drive from his pocket and instructed, "Give this to their manager. I'll meet him in a moment..."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang."

Behind him, Yu Sangwan was already frozen, cluelessly looking up at Le Zhengsheng, whispering, "What did he give?"

"..." Le Zhengsheng shrugged, "It should be what was missing, I suppose he's restored it."

"Restored?" Yu Sangwan was surprised, "Really? How is that possible? He never participated before."

Le Zhengsheng bent down, whispering in Yu Sangwan's ear, "Don't you know? The elder of the Lu family is famously clever... don't forget, he grew up running around here, nobody knows this place better than him! Did he take a look at your plan?"

"... Mm." Yu Sangwan absent-mindedly nodded.

Le Zhengsheng clicked his tongue, "Then that's it. For him, just these two things are enough."

Yu Sangwan was stunned, involuntarily looking towards Lu Jinxuan, with newfound admiration in her eyes.

"Oh." Le Zhengsheng nudged Yu Sangwan's shoulder, "See that? Young Master Lu has dark circles under his eyes, looks like he didn't sleep last night either... no matter how smart he is, he still needs time."

Yu Sangwan looked at Lu Jinxuan carefully, noticing his face indeed showed signs of fatigue... did he stay up all night because of her?

She had clearly messed up, couldn't bear his mild criticism, and shouted at him. She really... was too unreasonable.

Lu Jinxuan suddenly turned back, glanced at Yu Sangwan, "You all... continue with the following tasks, I'll meet the manager."

"Oh." Yu Sangwan bit her lower lip in embarrassment, nodding.

Lu Jinxuan left, and Yu Sangwan stood there for quite a while without moving.

"Hey!" Le Zhengsheng waved a hand in front of her, "What are you thinking about?"

Yu Sangwan gritted her teeth, "I need to go apologize to him!"

She said, running past Le Zhengsheng and out.

Le Zhengsheng's smile suddenly vanished, his expression turning sullen...

Outside the door, Yu Sangwan was running briskly, seeing Lu Jinxuan just ahead. "Ah..."

She opened her mouth, hesitated, right... She couldn't call him Jinxuan, he was now Jiang Shuo.

But whether he was Jiang Shuo or Lu Jinxuan, it seemed to have nothing to do with her anymore.

"Jinxuan." Mu Qinglan came over from the front, holding a cup, smiling and looking up at Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan frowned, "Qinglan?"

Mu Qinglan approached him, handing him the medicine bottle in her hand, "Did you forget to take your medicine when you came out? Ji Qing reminded me, I was afraid you were too busy... so I brought it to you."

Lu Jinxuan glanced at the medicine bottle; this was the medicine Ji Qing prescribed for him.

"Okay." He nodded, reached out to take it, and tossed it back into his mouth.

"Drink some water." Mu Qinglan promptly brought the cup of water to his lips, thoughtful and considerate.

Seeing this scene, Yu Sangwan stopped in her tracks. Why was she even planning to apologize? Maybe he didn't care at all? He came here for work, and Mu Qinglan had to follow... She was the one who really mattered to him!

"Tch." Yu Sangwan pouted and smiled, turned around and went back the way she came.

The old site of Donghua, with an outdoor swimming pool at the back, had been abandoned for a long time.

For this anniversary celebration, it naturally had to be utilized.

At noon, the sun shining overhead, Le Zhengsheng was supervising people cleaning the pool. Though supervising, he was merely overseeing from the shore, gesturing and instructing.

Yu Sangwan sat on a lounge chair nearby, still busy with the tasks ahead.

However, she was sullen... Le Zhengsheng noticed it.

A worker on the ground shouted up to Le Zhengsheng, "Director, should we test the pipes now? They haven't been used in a long time, not sure if they're clear?"

"Alright! Let's try running water first!" Le Zhengsheng casually answered, but he was walking towards Yu Sangwan.

He raised a hand and placed it on her head, "Little Wanwan, still upset?"

"Hm?" Yu Sangwan tugged a smile at the corners of her mouth, "No, I'm just busy!"

"Then, give me a smile?" Le Zhengsheng raised an eyebrow at her, demonstrating by grinning widely, "Like this..."

Seeing his grin almost reaching his ears, Yu Sangwan was amused by him, "Haha..."

Not far away, Lu Jinxuan and Mu Qinglan were walking over together, just in time to see this scene.

Mu Qinglan couldn't help but look at Lu Jinxuan in surprise, "Jinxuan, Miss Yu... what's...?"

She paused, cautiously observing Lu Jinxuan's expression, "Aren't you two together? Miss Yu and this Mr. Le Zheng look quite close!"

Her words hit Lu Jinxuan's sore spot, and he gritted his teeth, shaking his head, "No, that's just her personality... She's close to everyone, not intimate!"

This tone was evidently protective of Yu Sangwan.

Mu Qinglan awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Is that so? Then it must be."

Lu Jinxuan with a composed face walked over there; he came to check the progress and bring some drinks for the workers.

"Director." Lu Jinxuan stood in front of Le Zhengsheng, seemingly not seeing Yu Sangwan, "Come over here for a moment."

Both Le Zhengsheng and Yu Sangwan were taken aback, Le Zhengsheng withdrew his hand, stood straight, and walked towards Lu Jinxuan, "Alright... over there to talk."

"Everyone come over, have some drinks!"

Mu Qinglan called out to the workers from the side, and they all stopped what they were doing to come over for a drink. Mu Qinglan glanced at Yu Sangwan, who had her head down as if none of this concerned her.

Mu Qinglan pursed her lips, picked up a bottle of drink, and walked towards Yu Sangwan.

"Here, have a drink and take a rest... It's so hot today."

Yu Sangwan looked up, meeting Mu Qinglan's smiling face, unable to refuse, she had to take it, "Thank you."

She didn't want to talk to Mu Qinglan at all, albeit she felt that what happened between her and Lu Jinxuan wasn't Mu Qinglan's fault, but a rival in love... is never likable.

Mu Qinglan noticed it, smiling as she looked at the pool being filled with water, "Miss Yu is very capable, so young yet in charge of such an important CASE... As for me, in this lifetime, I can probably only rely on Jinxuan."

It seemed like an expression of admiration, but the sense of boasting was more apparent.

"But, women... it's most important to be with the right man, don't you think?"

As Mu Qinglan spoke, she kept moving closer to the pool.

Yu Sangwan gave an awkward smile, "Maybe!"

Suddenly, Mu Qinglan slipped, seemingly about to fall.

"Miss Mu!" Yu Sangwan was startled, hurriedly rushed over, trying to pull her up, in the panic, one hand grabbed her hand while the other... inadvertently pulled off Mu Qinglan's wig!

Nevertheless, the two of them ended up tumbling into the pool together! The pool was still being dredged, patchy and filled halfway with water, falling in was not a minor issue.

But at this moment, more embarrassing was Mu Qinglan, having just recovered not long ago, her hair hadn't fully grown... The scar on her head was still very visible! Once the wig was removed, her entire image was gone...

"Ah..." Mu Qinglan quickly covered her head, utterly embarrassed, "Why... why did you do this?"

"I..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, looking at Mu Qinglan in bewilderment, what had happened?
