Chapter 193 He Protects Her
Lu Xingchen was startled. She didn't expect that her words would reveal this information to him. She turned her eyes away and said, "No."
But he pulled her chin back and fixed it in place, and she couldn't avoid looking into his serious and determined eyes.
"You said that you looked down on me who had nothing and that you didn't agree with me, but that was all fake. It was because you found out that you were not a child of the Lu family that you wanted to break up with me?"
"No..." Not wanting to be seen through, she forced her head to turn away, but couldn't, "Li Zhen..."
"Do you think I'm with you because you're from the Lu family?" His eyes turned red as he spoke. "What have you always taken my sincerity for? Who do you think I am?"
This apology clearly came to his mind after so many years, but at this moment, it still surged in his heart. Lu Xingchen resigned himself to his fate and said:
"It's not all because of this. At first, I only found out that Lu Wenli was my mother's first love, and I mistakenly thought that she and Lu Wenli had done something to let my father down. So when Deng Peiling asked me to leave you for the second time with the photo of them entering the hotel, I agreed. But not long after that, I realized that the real problem was that I was Lu Wenli's child. At that time, I couldn't even protect myself, let alone you..."
Li Zhen felt extremely sad when he heard this. He felt sorry for her, for himself, and even more so for his first love which he had buried so cruelly but couldn't help but carefully open.
"I don't need your protection at all..."
After saying this, he thought of their family's situation at the time, and how after Lu Xingchen had been with him, she had carefully maintained his dignity while quietly supporting his family. His eyes quickly turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.
At this moment, I suddenly understood another reason that Lu Xingchen had not told me until now.
If she had chosen to walk towards him at that time, even if Lu Dingsheng would not take action, the other members of the Lu family would suppress him because of her and her daughter.
Not to mention whether Zhencheng will have the opportunity to appear in this world, it is even more doubtful whether he can successfully start his own business.
Li Zhen felt even more bitter and unhappy. He really didn't have the ability to make her ask him for help at that time.
So now, he has to protect her this time no matter what. Even if Lu Xingchen really doesn't like him, he wants to do everything he can to protect her.
Li Zhen did not make any more meaningless excuses or verbal promises. He suppressed his turbulent emotions and looked at her and said, "If the Lu family really wants to cause trouble for you, Auntie should live in the place I arrange for you. I will have someone keep an eye on her, and you just do your thing."
Chaoyue Company at this time.
It was Saturday noon and there was no one in the office. Wang Yunchao returned to his boss' office with bruises on the corners of his mouth and eyes.
Behind him followed his assistant Zhang Suiyuan and two bodyguards with bruised faces.
Wang Yunchao had a gloomy face, with his hands on the desk. After a while, he raised his hands to unbutton his shirt, but failed after several attempts. He suddenly became furious and tore it apart with force. After tearing it apart a few times, he became even more furious and shouted to sweep everything on the desk away!
"Li Zhen, who the hell do you think you are!"
After cursing, he still wasn't satisfied and kicked the table!
Seeing this, the bodyguard said, "Boss, Li Zhen has discovered that we set a trap to deceive Lu Wenli. Is it necessary to give him the restrictive contract?"
"You know shit! He gave the evidence to Lu Xingchen, and she didn't pursue the breach of contract and just handed it over to the police. That's enough to put me in jail for a few years! Of course Li has to have the contract, otherwise Lu Xingchen will be in breach of contract if she sells the stuff to anyone other than me! Damn it!"
Wang Yunchao slumped down in a chair and stared at the ceiling angrily.
"That cunning old bastard asked me to return the 80 million, and then he went to Lu Xingchen to claim credit for it, saying that he settled it. Even if Lu Xingchen didn't want to sell Mastermind, he would have to consider this favor. He killed two birds with one stone, you bastard!"
Thinking that not only hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business had been lost, but he had also lost tens of millions, Wang Yunchao kicked the table again in pain.
The bodyguards didn't dare to say anything more and looked at Zhang Suiyuan. Zhang Suiyuan silently signaled them to leave, and the two bodyguards left the office.
Zhang Suiyuan walked closer to Wang Yunchao and asked solemnly, "Boss, Li Zhen has this evidence against us, so he won't tell Lu Xingchen?"
Wang Yunchao frowned and thought for a while, "His purpose is to capture the Mastermind. We have also paid back the money to Lu Wenli. What else can he say?"
Zhang Suiyuan: "But we did something similar in order to buy Lu Xingchen's company. Will those things be dug up?"
Wang Yunchao's expression changed slightly. "Why is he digging up the past for no reason? What does it have to do with him?!"
In fact, he was a little panicked, so he comforted himself, "Besides, what happened that year didn't just involve us. They should have wiped out all the traces long ago."
As he said this, he suddenly hissed and looked at Zhang Suiyuan and said, "This is weird. They used exactly the same method. What method did they use to make Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua dare not even fart afterward, and the matter was just over. Why is it that it doesn't work for me?"
Zhang Suiyuan tried to speak twice, but finally kept his mouth shut.
Wang Yunchao continued to curse, "It's all because of that Li who showed up and ruined my plan, otherwise I would have gotten Lu Xingchen to sign the contract today! Damn it, she's already asked me out, and she's just one step away from it!"
"Boss..." Zhang Suiyuan couldn't help but say, "I've been observing Lu Xingchen for a while, and I found that she is more meticulous than ordinary people."
"So what? She's just a woman! Wasn't she fooled as well?"
Zhang Suiyuan had to remind him: "Back then, Lu Wenli and Xu Fanghua had a company in the financial sector with many clients. This not only concealed their tracks, but also provided sufficient reasons for Lu Wenli to owe a huge debt.
But this time, Lu Wenli and Xu Fanghua didn't even have anything to pledge, but they were able to borrow such a large amount of money. Lu Xingchen might become suspicious. "
Zhang Suiyuan had reminded Wang Yunchao of this from the beginning, but his contract with Lu Xingchen was set to expire in a few months, and Lu Wenli was hesitant at first, so how could he have the time to wait for him to get the exact reason for the loan?
"I have earned nearly 10 million yuan from the coins I gave him, and he also said that Li Zhen is his future son-in-law..."
Wang Yunchao felt a chill behind his back when he said this. "If Lu Xingchen is Li Zhen's girlfriend, then Li Zhen is very likely to tell her the truth. Am I being deceived?"
Zhang Suiyuan: "Well...some people say that Lu Xingchen is in love with the second young master of the Chu family. The second young master's people have been helping her investigate Lu Wenli's affairs recently, but Li Zhen's people got there first."
Wang Yunchao still felt something was not right, so he patted the armrest of the chair and said, "No, we still have to find her and ask her what method she used to make Lu Xingchen and her daughter shut up!"
