Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1474 Prenatal checkup

Inside the office, the atmosphere was as heavy as the depression before a storm.

Those people seemed to be under a spell, they were all stunned with their eyes wide open, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

Their mouths were slightly open, but no sound came out, and disbelief was written all over their faces.

On weekdays, Mr. Lu is always amiable, with a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face. He treats his employees with great care, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

But now, just for Xiaomei, who they regarded as a country bumpkin, Mr. Lu resolutely decided to fire them.

This huge contrast, like a bolt from the blue, hit their hearts hard.

"How could this happen...Mr. Lu is not like this normally."

One of them muttered to himself, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, soaking his collar.

The reason why they keep giving in, apologizing, and even behaving in a humble manner, just like a stray dog who has lost its home, is nothing more than wanting to do their best to keep this job that is so hard to come by!

However, today, all the face has been lost, and the so-called dignity has been ruthlessly trampled underfoot, as if it had never existed.

And that job, which was once considered as important as life, is now like sand in your hand. No matter how hard you try to hold it tightly, it will still slip through your fingers, leaving you with helplessness and despair.

"We have already humbled ourselves so much, why is it still not working?"

The other man gritted his teeth, his heart full of resentment, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug into the flesh, but he felt no pain at all.

At this moment, the anger in their hearts erupted like a volcano, but they did not dare to release it directly to Lu Feng.

Because they all knew very well that Lu Feng held the power of life and death over them in his hands, and if they were not careful, they might suffer a catastrophic disaster.

However, this suppressed anger did not dissipate. Instead, it accumulated more and more in their hearts like a blocked flood.

Finally, they could no longer bear this suffocating feeling, and they all cast hostile glances at Xiaomei.

What kind of look was that! It was like two gleaming daggers, stabbing straight at Xiaomei, as if they wanted to cut her into pieces and chop her into pieces in order to dispel the resentment in their hearts.

Their eyebrows were raised high like two angry swords, and their eyes were red and bloodshot like burning flames.

"It's all because of this country bumpkin. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"

One person said this through gritted teeth, his voice full of resentment, as if it was being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Yes, it's her. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have lost our jobs!"

Others followed suit, their voices growing louder and louder, as if they wanted to vent all the anger in their hearts.

However, they forgot that the root cause of all this was actually their own self-inflicted harm.

If they hadn't bullied Xiaomei and made things difficult for her, how could they have ended up like this? But at this moment, they were so angry that they had no time to care about these things.

The surrounding environment seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and the air in the office seemed to be frozen, making it hard to breathe.

And Lu Feng still stood there quietly, his eyes as calm as water, as if all this was within his expectations.

Xiaomei stood quietly in Lu Feng's slightly solemn office. The breeze outside the window was blowing gently, but it failed to blow away the faint worry between her brows.

In this prosperous and highly competitive city, finding a decent and stable job is as difficult as looking for a shining pearl in the vast ocean.

Therefore, when Lu Feng's decisive words came down and he announced that he would fire those employees who made mistakes due to a momentary mistake, the balance in Xiaomei's heart could not help but begin to sway.

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Feng, and in her clear eyes, there were ripples at this moment, showing both sympathy for her colleague and helpless acceptance of the situation.

Lu Feng sat behind a large desk, his face stern and his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness, like an unshakable mountain, which made Xiaomei feel both awed and distressed.

"Brother Lu..."

Xiaomei opened her red lips slightly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice. She slowly approached, unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, which was her habitual action when she was nervous.

"Why don't we just forget about it? After all, they have already realized their mistakes. I know very well that it is too difficult to find a good job in this world. They may have just been blinded by the benefits and made such a mistake..."

Having said that, Xiaomei paused, and her eyes gently swept across Lu Feng's tense face, trying to find a hint of looseness in those hard lines.

"What's more, you are all a team. You should support each other and not give up on any member easily. Brother Lu, I understand your intentions, but can you give them another chance?"

When Lu Feng heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including surprise, thought, and recognition of Xiaomei's kind heart.

He stood up, walked around the desk and came in front of Xiaomei. The distance between them was instantly shortened and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

"Xiaomei,"

Lu Feng's voice was deep and powerful, with a majesty that could not be ignored, but also a hint of warmth inadvertently.

"Your kindness and tolerance are the most valuable assets of this team. But rules are rules, and we cannot be biased because of personal emotions."

"But... I don't miss you... because of me..." Xiaomei lowered her head and said nothing.

Lu Feng frowned slightly, his eyes showing a bit of helplessness and a hint of disappointment. He gently patted Xiao Mei's shoulder and said slowly with a mixed tone of emotion.

"Xiao Mei, you are too kind and soft-hearted! Look at what happened. They actually did such a thing and now they have such a miserable end. Isn't this what they deserve?"

"I'll give you some advice from someone who has experienced it. This is the reality of the world. People with power and wealth can show off as they please and stand tall in front of others, as if the whole world is under their control. Ordinary people can only silently endure their oppression and bullying without any ability to fight back."

"Look at yourself. You have such unique conditions. How many people can only dream of having them! However, you turn a blind eye to these precious resources and have no idea how to make good use of them. Instead, you act like an extremely cowardly person with no backbone at all."

"You always keep groveling and speaking in a low voice to others, as if you are inferior to them. Such behavior is really incomprehensible, and people can't help but feel sorry for you. You could have used your own advantages to pursue a better life and show your true self-worth, but you chose a completely opposite path."

"What good can you get from doing this, other than making others think you are easy to bully? You have to know that not everyone in this world is as kind as you think. Some people may take advantage of your kindness and weakness to achieve their ulterior motives."

"So, next time you must not be so foolish as to regard everyone as a good person! The people in this world are very complicated. There are kind people and there are people with bad intentions. You must learn how to protect yourself and don't easily believe what others say."

"This doesn't mean you should become indifferent or suspicious, but you should remain vigilant so as to avoid unnecessary harm! Do you understand?"

Having said this, Lu Feng paused, his eyes became deep, as if he was lost in some thought, and then he continued with a serious expression, enunciating each word.

"There is one more thing you must remember. In this prosperous but mysterious and turbulent imperial capital, the Fu family's status is unmatched and second to none. Their family is like a mountain that towers into the clouds, standing at the pinnacle of power, overlooking all living beings."

"As for the Nan family, although they are slightly inferior to the Fu family, they are definitely the dominant family in the area and firmly occupy the second place."

"Having friends like Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei is like holding two trump cards in your hands. This is something that many people dream of but cannot get! As long as you can skillfully use these two trump cards, then no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter on your life path, you will be able to easily resolve them and have a smooth and unimpeded journey!"

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he stared at Xiaomei closely, his eyes full of concern and expectation, as if he was afraid that Xiaomei didn't hear what he said, and as if he was waiting for Xiaomei to give him a response to confirm whether she really understood the interests involved.

Xiaomei nodded slightly, with a look of hesitation and concern in her eyes. She bit her lower lip lightly, and said in a soft but anxious voice: "I... understand, but I've been feeling uneasy. Will your company be affected by firing so many people at once? After all, personnel changes are no small matter."

When Lu Feng heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a confident and slightly playful smile. The laughter echoed in the room, as if carrying a kind of reassuring power.

"They are just parasites in the company. They don't do their job and only cause trouble. They can't affect the company at all. You should just put your mind at ease."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Feng's face darkened instantly, like the sky before a storm, terribly gloomy.

He turned around abruptly, his eyes piercing towards Xiaoli and the others beside him like a sharp blade, pointing his finger at them and shouting fiercely, "You guys, hurry up and get out! Do you want me to call the security guards to kick you out?"

The sound was so loud that the very air in the room seemed to tremble.

Xiaoli was frightened by the sudden roar, and a trace of panic flashed across her face for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by resentment.

She glared at Xiaomei fiercely, her eyes full of jealousy and unwillingness, as if she wanted to eat Xiaomei alive.

Then, she stomped her feet unwillingly, and her high heels made a "thump thump" sound as they hit the ground, as if venting her inner anger.

Then she turned around and left angrily. Seeing this, the other two people didn't dare to stay. Like two frightened mice, they followed her dejectedly and disappeared hurriedly at the door.

"..."

Fuji Villa

Xu Xiaoxiao stretched lazily, looking like a cat that just woke up, exuding a lazy and charming aura.

She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, with a look of confusion and bewilderment as if she had just woken up. She stayed in the soft quilt for a long time before slowly getting up.

After she finished washing up and changed into a loose yet elegant home outfit, she slowly walked down the stairs and saw Mother Hou standing at the stairs waiting for her with a cautious and concerned look on her face.

Mother Hou stretched out her hands slightly, as if she was afraid that she would fall accidentally, and hurried forward to support her gently, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze.

"Xiaoxiao, your husband is already waiting in the dining room to have breakfast with you! He also said that he would accompany you to the prenatal check-up later. I am so happy to see you two reconciled." Mother Hou said softly with a smile.

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard the word "prenatal check-up", her originally lazy expression instantly softened, and her eyes sparkled with happiness and anticipation, which was the joy of becoming a mother quietly blooming.

She gently patted Mother Hou's hand, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle and sweet smile, and said, "Mother Hou, I'm fine, don't be so nervous."

As she spoke, she, supported by Hou's mother, walked towards the dining room with light but cautious steps.

Along the way, she couldn't help but think of the scenes she might see during the prenatal check-up. She imagined the little life in her belly growing little by little, and her heart was filled with sweetness and longing.

When we arrived at the dining room, we saw Mr. Fu already sitting there. His well-tailored suit made him look even more handsome and elegant.

When he saw Xu Xiaoxiao coming in, a hint of fondness and concern flashed across his eyes. He quickly stood up, walked quickly to her side, gently held her hand, and said softly, "Are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

The voice was deep and magnetic, and seemed to carry a magical power that made people feel at ease.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, her heart full of happiness. She shook her head gently and said, "I'm fine. I'm just looking forward to the prenatal check-up later."

Hearing this, Fu Yanchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here with you." After that, he took her hand, sat down at the dining table together, and scooped her a bowl of her favorite porridge.
