Chapter 378, Wife, I Have Something to Attend To

judged due to a sudden unforeseen event, but it certainly gave everyone in attendance something to talk about!Wherever Luo Ningxi walked with a glass of wine in hand, she would attract quite a bit of...Mark and Zhou Xue looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly a little awkward.

How is this possible How could an unprofessional designer possibly work with them

Luo Ningxi clenched the portfolio in her hand, not feeling ashamed at all.

"Alright, alright, you two gossipmongers stop it! Since President Sheng invited Miss Luo to work part-time, there must be something special about her!"

Mia's broken Chinese broke the awkward silence.

She placed her hand on Loning Xi's shoulder and smiled, "Miss Luo, you don't have to worry about those two. They are both graduates of prestigious universities and award-winning designers. They value skills more than anything else."

"Nodding, Luo Ningxi's clear eyes were beautiful. "It's okay. Although I'm not a professional designer, during this part-time period, I will also work extra hard to keep up with everyone's progress!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Mark and Zhou Xue exchanged a glance with Mia, immediately returning to their initial amicable demeanor.

Mark, "Miss Luo, what are you saying! We're all colleagues, there's no such thing as holding anyone back!"

"That's right, we still have a lot to learn from you!" Zhou Xue said, taking the initiative to step forward. "By the way, Ms. Luo, although you are part-time, President Sheng also arranged an independent office for you. Let me show you around!"

Lu Ningxi was astonished. This group was too wealthy.

She's a freelance designer with her own office

Zhou Xuejian dragged Luo Ningxi towards the office, gossiping all the while...

"Miss Luo, you were recommended by Mr. Sheng, so you must have met him. Is he handsome Rumor has it that he's a super hunk..."

Though they walked far away, their laughter could still be heard.

After the two people left, only Mia and Mark were left in the hall.

Mark retracted his smile and walked to Mia's side, speaking in English, "Mia, how did Mr. Sheng end up hiring a non-professional designer Did he make a mistake"

Mia's radiant smile, which had been on full display when Loning Xi departed, vanished in an instant. A trace of disdain flickered across her eyes.

"Just a part-time designer, it won't affect us!"

Mark also frowned, "But..."

Mia spoke up, coldly cutting him off. "Even if she has some special purpose, with her pitiful kung fu, do you think she could beat me"

Mark paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, "You're right, you are a top-tier designer. How could I, an amateur, possibly compare to you"

……

Throughout the whole afternoon, Luo Ningxi was at VIC and also inquired about recent projects.

Although it was a part-time job, Luo Ningxi truly dared not slack off even a bit after owing Sheng Zong such a sky-high auction price. What's more, Li Bochen also worked under Sheng Zong. If she dropped the ball, it would definitely affect his perception of her.

When I left the company, it was already dark outside.

The secluded path was eerily quiet. A cool breeze rustled through the leaves, the only sound breaking the silence.

Luningxi huddled deeper into her coat as she walked toward the station, pulling out her phone at the same time.

The screen was empty, save for Li Bohan's single message.

"Honey, I have something urgent to attend to today and won't be able to pick you up from work. Please be careful."

Luo Ningxi originally wanted him to pick her up, seeing this text message she could only dispel the thought.

"Honey, I went to the jewelry company today, how's things going on your end..."

The message was only half edited when Lu Ningxi felt a black shadow flash before her eyes. She looked up and saw a roguish man walking towards her, a toothpick in his mouth and his eyes glancing at Lu Ningxi unsteadily, stopping on her face with a hint of greed.

"Beauty, how come you're alone"

Lone Ning's spine instantly chilled.

Back then, on that construction site of the abandoned building, those hoodlums were just like that!

She took a few steps back, and as she turned around, she found that the way out was also blocked.

More than five people surrounded them, closing in step by step, letting out bursts of lewd laughter!

"Beauty, walking alone on the road so late, aren't you afraid of meeting bad people"

"Yeah, do you want your brothers to send you home"

As these people approached step by step, Lu Ningxi's face grew increasingly ugly. "Get lost, I'm not someone you can provoke. I advise you to scram now, or I'll pretend nothing happened."

"Haha, guys, did you hear that This little hot pepper actually dared to threaten us..."

Luo Ningxi saw that they were clearly unyielding, her heart leaped into her throat. Seizing the opportunity, she smashed the handbag in her hand towards the nearest man's head, then turned and ran.

Running while taking out the phone to make a call...

Ring ring ring...

Busyness echoed again and again.

On the wide, quiet streets, the echoes of Luo Ningxi's and the pursuers' footsteps reverberated, filled with panic and confusion.

It hit her heart like a drum roll.

Li Bochen, answering the phone...

Where are you now

I'm in danger...

Luo Ningxi's mind was filled with Li Bochen. She had to admit that in this moment of danger, she thought of him frantically.

Every time before, he gave himself a sense of security...

"Bang!"

However, at that moment, Lu Ningxi didn't notice a puddle at her feet. Her steps faltered, her body lost its balance, and she stumbled to the ground.

Several men took the opportunity to quickly surround her, grinning savagely as they dragged her into a dark alley.

"Run! Why aren't you running any further"

"Haha, just wait, brothers will make you comfortable..."

"Get away from me!" Luo Ningxi struggled violently, her eyes filled with terror, but she desperately tried to calm herself.

No, no, this place is very secluded. Few people pass by here normally…

As soon as they saw her, they rushed over, as if they had been eyeing her for a long time.

"You want money, right I have money, how much you want I can give you… Don't touch me…"

She had never wanted to defend her innocence like she did at this moment. She couldn't accept being touched by any man other than Li Bochen.

With a "rip," the man didn't listen to her explanation at all, and directly pressed her to the ground!

Even her phone, with a resounding thud, was flung away. The call she had made to Li Boche hadn't been answered at all!

What can I do Am I really going to be defeated here today

Li Bochen... just as firm, not paying any heed to Jiang Jingya's threats!"Mom…" Luo Zhiqin cried even harder.Although she was devastated and had seen Yu Chengnan's ruthlessness, selling their family fortune to r...
