I Only Want You novel Chapter 135

Elizabeth came out of Kuture in a complicated mood and got on a bus.

The bus was swaying and she was a little distracted. She watched the receding view outside the window, but she wasn't in the mood for it. She was thinking about the thing Evelyn had just told her about.

She got off the bus from the previous stop from Liang Company. Liang Company was only about 200 meters away from her, but it took her 20 minutes to get there.

Standing in front of Liang Company, she straightened her back and stared at the entrance. She looked very calm, even a little indifferent. But actually she felt complicated and her moods were ups and downs.

This was the first time that she had come here after she had been driven out by her uncle's family for such a long time. Liang Company was no longer as glamorous as before. Instead, the company looked decrepit everywhere.

From time to time, someone came out with their own sorted box. They seemed to have different senses of feeling, such as depression, anger and loss...

If Evelyn hadn't just called her to tell her that Liang Company had gone bankrupt today, she might not even know it at the moment. She always wanted James to help her take Liang Company back, but she didn't expect that one day it would be ruined.

The sun was still strong around four o'clock in the afternoon, and her skin was somewhat painful under the sun. But she still maintained the original position as if she couldn't feel it, and stared straight at the entrance of Liang Company.

Two employees of Liang Company passed by her with their belongings in their arms. They were discussing...

"I didn't expect that Liang Company, such a big company, would suddenly go bankrupt."

"Same here. I've only been a full-time worker for three months, and I still have so many things that I haven't had a chance to do."

"Alas! Liang Company has gone bankrupt. The chairman must be so sad."

"Jesus! A boss who doesn't even pay the salary, who cares! You are really kind. You still think about his feeling. Did he care about you? Maybe he is secretly happy now because he doesn't need to pay us for two months."

"Liang Company has gone too far! We worked so hard for it. Now they don't even pay us."

"Forget it! I am so angry when I talk about this! Anyway, I'll never forgive Liang Company, this blackhearted company!"

Hearing these words, Elizabeth couldn't help but move her eyelids. Her thin body slightly trembled, and her hands hanging at her side clenched into Her parents worked so hard to get Liang Company off the ground. But she was too young when her parents died. And her uncle had some shares in the company, so she had to hand over Liang Company to her uncle at that time.

In the past, Liang Company still developed instability. She also believed in her uncle wholeheartedly. Later, when she was driven out by them, she also had dreamed that she could take Liang Company back from them.

She always thought she needed to get back what her parents had left her and what should have belonged to her. She would run the Liang Company well and make it bigger and better.

But now? She didn't even have time to grow up to be a relatively outstanding person, and Liang Company went bankrupt.

"Bankrupt?"

On the way here just now, she checked with her phone and knew that Liang Company had too many debts. Such a big company would go bankrupt because it couldn't pay its debts. Although she did not know how much is owed, it must be an astronomical amount.

She also thought about asking James for help, but how could she say that to him? Liang Company didn't belong to her now, and she owed so much to him. Even if he was her friend who had a close relationship with her, he also didn't have to help her to save a company that didn't belong to her.

If one day she could really grow up to be an excellent person, then she could also set up a new Liang Company. However, Liang Company was not where it used to be. It was not what her parents had worked so hard for. Was it still the Liang Company?

When she thought of her parents, she felt extremely guilty. They were both good and honest people, and Liang Company had always been a reputable company. And now, not only was it unable to pay salaries, but it was even being called a blackhearted company?

The guilt and self-blame in her heart were like two mountains, which pressed down on her heart making her extremely painful. The pain made her feel like she was out of breath.

If she had known it before... She wouldn't have lived like this, and she wouldn't have been as silly and naive as she used to be. It was because she was so weak that she failed her parents and left Liang Company in such a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, her tears filled her eyes with regret. She tried her best to endure and even forced herself to smile gently. She laughed at herself and said to herself in her mind, "Elizabeth, look at yourself. Are you just going to look at it like this forever?"

***

When it was almost dark, she took a taxi back to South Lake. Today, she really didn't even have the strength to take the bus.

Before she entered the yard, she saw that the villa was ablaze with lights. She pursed her lips and guessed that James must have been at home. She hadn't returned until now, would he lose his temper again when he was hungry?

She stood in front of the door and entered the password. As soon as she pressed the three numbers, the door was pushed from the inside.

"James..." She was about to say hello. But when she looked at the person in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Did she go to the wrong place? Why was there a middle-aged woman in the house?

That woman looked to be about fifty years old. Elizabeth noticed that she was dressed very simply and had a bun in her hair. The woman looked very capable and smart and was smiling at her with gentleness.

She looked at the woman doubtfully and then looked at the room behind her to make sure that she was in the right place. When she was about to speak, the woman smiled, "Mrs. Lu, welcome back."
