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

Chapter 1466 Being Bullied

She touched the screen with her fingertips, swiped through the familiar number, and called Nan Weiwei back.

The voice was filled with a subtle apology and tenderness, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake: "Weiwei, why did you call me so many times? My phone ran out of battery and turned off automatically. I was busy charging it and forgot to turn it on."

On the other end of the phone, Nan Weiwei's voice sounded a little hurried and anxious, as if her inner emotions were almost out of control, like a flood that was about to burst the dam.

There was an eager desire in her voice, as if she hoped to find the other person immediately and solve the mystery in her heart.

"Where are you?" Nan Weiwei's words were full of worry, which made people worry for her.

She continued, "Why didn't you tell me when you left? If Lu Feng hadn't been worried about you and asked if he knew where you were going, I wouldn't have known that you had actually submitted your resignation report."

"I..." Xiaomei stuttered and couldn't speak.

"If you want to resign, just resign. Why are you disappearing? What on earth were you thinking? Don't you know that we would be worried? You disappeared without a word, and Lu Feng and I were almost going crazy! We looked for you everywhere and asked everyone who might know your whereabouts, but there was still no clue. Where did you go? Why didn't you contact us? Do you know how worried we were?"

Nan Weiwei's tone became more and more anxious. She seemed unable to understand why the other party suddenly disappeared and turned off his cell phone.

There was even a hint of complaint in her voice, "Just charge it, why did you turn it off?"

"This phone is too old. It will be faster if you turn it off to charge. I...I didn't mean to forget to turn it on."

After hearing this, although Nan Weiwei's tone still revealed some dissatisfaction, it also revealed a hint of helplessness and compromise.

She seemed to realize that it was useless to continue arguing, so she sighed and said, "Forget it, in that case, I'll go get you a new one tomorrow! But where are you now? I have to go find you right away, so please send me your address!"

After she finished speaking, there was a hurried hang-up sound from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that Nan Weiwei couldn't wait to see her.

Listening to Nan Weiwei's reproach, Xiaomei was not sad. Instead, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled gently, touched the screen with her fingertips again, and sent the address to Nan Weiwei.

Nan Weiwei and Lu Feng stared at the location on the phone screen, their brows furrowed as if they could catch a fly.

A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Feng's eyes, and he murmured softly: "Why would Xiaomei go to such a remote place?"

Nan Weiwei was worried and urged, "Hurry, we have to go find her!"

The two drove at lightning speed through the bustling streets, and the hustle and bustle of traffic passed by quickly on both sides of the car windows.

After a while, they drove into a narrow alley. The houses on both sides of the road looked a bit old, revealing a quaint atmosphere.

After some twists and turns, they finally arrived at their destination - the hotel where the location was.

The exterior of this hotel is really shabby. The walls have long lost their original color and have become mottled, as if they had been forgotten in this corner by time.

Before Nan Weiwei could even stand firm, she immediately frowned.

She looked around and saw that the environment was extremely dirty, garbage was everywhere, and there was a bad smell in the air.

Nan Weiwei took her steps cautiously, as if the ground beneath her feet was a swamp full of traps.

She was afraid that her shoes would be stained by the stains on the floor, and she was even more worried that her clothes would be stained with these dirt.

Nan Weiwei was extremely cautious with every step she took. She even deliberately kept a certain distance from the wall, for fear of accidentally touching the dusty and stained wall and dirtying her clothes.

"What a crappy place this is?" Nan Weiwei complained miserably, her voice revealing obvious dissatisfaction and irritability.

She looked around. The houses were dilapidated, as if they had been forgotten by time.

"It took us so long to find you. Xiaomei, what on earth did you bring here for?"

Nan Weiwei continued to mutter, her brows tightly furrowed, her heart full of doubts and confusion.

"How can people live in this kind of environment?"

Nan Weiwei's eyes fell on the crumbling houses and she felt more and more uneasy.

Looking around, I saw people with different expressions. Some were drunk, some were looking for trouble, and some were young men. I couldn't help but worry more. "Who are these people here? Xiaomei, don't you know how dangerous it is here?"

Lu Feng also looked solemn. He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, trying to find a clue in this messy environment.

He comforted Nan Weiwei softly: "Don't worry, let's go find Xiaomei first and ask her clearly."

The two walked quickly into the hotel, their hearts filled with worry and confusion about Xiaomei.

The two finally found Xiaomei in the slightly dim room. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking a little tired and guilty.

When Nan Weiwei saw Xiaomei, the anxious look on her face instantly turned into concern. She quickly walked to Xiaomei and looked her up and down, fearing that she had been wronged. "Xiaomei, are you okay? We were so worried about you! Why did you come to a place like this?"

Lu Feng said nothing. His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, giving people a feeling of oppression.

He just stood there quietly, without any movement, but his eagle-like sharp eyes fell directly on Xiaomei, as if he wanted to see through her appearance and understand every thought in her heart.

Although he didn't say anything, the invisible pressure made Xiaomei feel a little suffocated.

Xiaomei looked at the two people who had been tossing and turning for her for half the night, and a deep sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

"Didn't you say you had a place to stay? Is this where you're staying? What about your new job?" Lu Feng asked with a gloomy face.

Xiaomei slowly lowered her head, as if her heavy head could no longer support her for a moment. Her voice was as soft as the buzzing of a mosquito or fly, making it almost inaudible:

"I... I'm really fine. I won't start work until tomorrow. I'm just making do tonight. Don't worry too much. I just... I just want to find a place to stay temporarily. After all, everyone needs a place to settle down. I know you all care about me, but I really don't want to cause you any trouble."

I will go out to work tomorrow. Don't worry, I will work hard! When I make enough money, I will move to a place with a better environment. Then, I will let you rest assured."

After saying that, she looked up at Nan Weiwei and Lu Feng, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

She knew that she couldn't let them worry about her all the time, and she had to cheer up and work hard to change the current situation.

Lu Feng stared at Xiaomei's evasive eyes and hesitant words, and he knew in his heart that she was lying.

He has experienced many ups and downs in his life, but he has never spent so much time and effort on someone as he does now.

At this moment, his heart seemed to be hit by a surging torrent, with all kinds of complex emotions intertwined together, making it difficult for him to describe it in words.

Maybe it was because some of the other person's actions or words really annoyed him and made him very angry; or maybe it was because his concern for the other person had reached its limit, making it impossible for him to remain calm and composed.

This contradictory emotion kept surging in his heart, making him want to get angry but afraid of hurting the other person.

He took a step forward, grabbed Xiaomei's arm with his iron-like fingers, and dragged her out without any explanation: "Come on, come back with me!"

There was unquestionable firmness and a bit of suppressed anger in his tone.

Xiaomei was so frightened by his sudden action that her face turned pale instantly, as if all her blood froze at that moment.

Even her breathing seemed to stop. The force on her arm made her feel pain, and an indescribable fear and panic surged in her heart.

Subconsciously, she threw her hands away, trying to break free from the restraints: "It hurts...!"

There was a hint of trembling and pain in her voice, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any moment.

Lu Feng frowned, and a hint of doubt and heartache flashed in his eyes.

He didn't use much strength, but seeing Xiaomei's face full of pain, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He slowly loosened his hand and asked softly, "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xiaomei quickly pulled her hand back and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay.

"fine?"

Lu Feng didn't believe it and lifted her sleeve to take a closer look. He saw that the burn wound was not only severely red and swollen, but also festered in some places. The whole wound was a heart-pounding dark red color, and light yellow pus oozed out from the edge of the wound from time to time.

The wound looked horrific, as if it had been tortured by some extremely cruel means.

When Lu Feng saw this scene, his heart suddenly twitched and a sharp pain came over him.

His eyes widened, his face full of anger, he clenched his teeth and squeezed out a question: "What is going on? How did the wound become like this? It's already so serious, why didn't you tell me?"

His voice was trembling slightly with anger, and it seemed that it would explode at any time. There was a hint of blame in his voice, but more of anxiety, as if the wound was caused by him.

Xiaomei lowered her head, her eyes red, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I...I don't want to make you worry. It's just a small accident, it's okay, it will be fine in a few days."

She didn't dare look into Lu Feng's eyes, for fear of seeing more worry and blame in those deep eyes.

Lu Feng didn't believe it. He grabbed Xiaomei's hand and said firmly, "Come on, let's go to the hospital! This wound must be treated. It will be troublesome if it gets infected."

There was an irresistible firmness in his tone, as if at this moment, he was the solid support that could protect her from the wind and rain.

The three of them came to the hospital together, and after a busy period, Xiaomei's wound was finally properly treated.

Lu Feng's tightly furrowed brows did not relax, but became even more solemn.

He looked at Xiaomei deeply and asked in a deep voice: "Xiaomei, what happened? Why are you injured?"

Xiaomei's heart tightened. She didn't want to embarrass Lu Feng, and she didn't want him to know the grievances she had suffered in the company.

She shook her head gently and forced a smile: "It's okay, Brother Lu, I accidentally burned myself."

However, these words could not escape Nan Weiwei's eyes.

She frowned and stared at Xiaomei, her tone was a bit serious: "Xiaomei, tell me the truth, have you been bullied in Lu Feng's company?"

There was a hint of determination in Nan Weiwei's eyes, as if she could see through all of Xiaomei's disguises.

Xiaomei was flustered when she heard this. She tried to hide her emotions, but the tears in her eyes betrayed her.

She lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Finally, she couldn't help but whispered, "No... No, Weiwei, don't guess."

When Lu Feng saw this, he understood what was going on.

"Xiaomei, don't worry. No matter what happens, I will take care of it for you. Tell me, who bullied you?"

His eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness and determination. His company would never allow such a situation to happen.

Xiaomei still shook her head stubbornly, her eyes slightly red, but she still refused to speak.

She bit her lower lip tightly, as if she wanted to swallow all the grievances back into her stomach.

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Lu Feng's mind. He seemed to have remembered something important. He stared at Xiaomei with a sharp gaze, revealing a hint of seriousness and concern in his eyes.

He stared into Xiaomei's eyes, as if trying to see her true thoughts deep in her heart through her eyes.

Then, he asked in a deep and powerful voice: "Xiao Mei, I want to ask, when you were in the company, in addition to doing cleaning work, did those people also ask you to help your colleagues serve tea and water? Or even more excessive chores for you to do? Why didn't you tell me that I only asked you to learn the business from them, not to work like a slave for them?"

Although Lu Feng's tone was calm, the questioning implication in it could not be ignored.

His questions were direct and sharp, and he clearly had doubts about the treatment Xiaomei was receiving in the company.

When Xiaomei heard this, her body trembled slightly, but she still lowered her head and refused to speak.

Lu Feng looked at her abnormal state and thought about her sudden resignation. He suddenly realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm, but the seriousness and determination in his voice could not be ignored:

"Xiao Mei, look at me! Did someone in the company bully you? Tell me the truth! No matter what happens, I will stand by you and seek justice for you!"

There was unquestionable determination in his tone, as if he was a towering mountain, standing firmly in front of Xiaomei, protecting her from the wind and rain and giving her endless courage and strength.

Xiao Mei raised her head and looked into Lu Feng's eyes that were full of concern and determination. Tears finally couldn't help but flow down her cheeks. She knew that she couldn't hide it any longer...
