Chapter 156: Coward, Sweet
Lu Xingchen straightened his back subconsciously when he heard that, which was an instinctive alertness due to sensing danger.
Chu Zeyan noticed her guard up, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I can tell the difference between good and bad, who is good to me and who is not, I know it clearly in my heart."
Lu Xingchen curled the corners of his mouth as a response, but did not smile again. He just picked up the tea on the table and drank it, and the braised pork ribs in the bowl remained untouched.
Chu Zeyan saw it, so he picked up the serving chopsticks and put something else in her bowl. "I'm sorry, you didn't even get to eat a bite because you were just listening to me talking."
Lu Xingchen put the teacup on the table and looked at him and said, "Actually, I've eaten at the company and I'm still full."
Seeing Chu Zeyan looking at her with a smile without saying a word, she responded to his gaze directly.
"I sympathize with what happened to you and your sister, and I hope you can get what you want soon. As for why you asked me why I turned back to stop Miss Su before entering the elevator, it was because I recognized her at that time, and I thought again and again, thinking that she might be in trouble, so I took action. Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm. I hope Mr. Chu will not blame me for making a fuss."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment and continued politely, "Mr. Chu, I have something else to do so I can't have dinner with you. Please enjoy your meal."
After saying that, she stood up, picked up her bag and walked away without waiting for Chu Zeyan to speak. Before leaving, she thought for a moment and said without looking back, "Instead of asking me, an irrelevant outsider, about these things, you might as well ask the people around you."
After saying that, she walked away without looking back.
This time, Chu Zeyan did not try to keep her. Instead, long after she left, he turned his head and looked towards the door. Finding that she was indeed gone, he slowly withdrew his gaze, which then fell on her bowl opposite him.
She didn't even touch the food he picked for her. His petal-like mouth curled up into a smile. Even though he was just an illegitimate son of the Chu family, there were countless women who tried to curry favor with him just based on his personal charm.
Who is Lu Xingchen to be so indifferent to him?
But among so many women, even all the people he knew, he only told her everything about himself, and she remained... indifferent.
Chu Zeyan slowly drank the wine in the glass, then slowly poured himself another glass, but did not drink it. Instead, he dipped his slender jade-like fingers in the wine, and then wrote two words on the table stroke by stroke.
Star
The pretty face slowly revealed a smile as beautiful as a flower. He propped his chin with his hand and lowered his eyes to look at the two words on the table for a long time. He smiled with his thin lips and uttered two words: "I want it."
Not long after Lu Xingchen left Zhouji Private Restaurant, his cell phone rang from an unfamiliar number. Lu Xingchen took a look and picked up the phone.
"Hey?"
"Hello, is this Lu Xingchen?" The other party had a sweet female voice.
"I'm."
"Sorry to bother you, I'm Su Wanyi. I heard from Mr. Chu that you were the one who sent me to the hospital that night. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Su Wanyi said embarrassedly: "I have been in the hospital for the past two days and have not been able to contact you in time. I will be discharged tomorrow. When do you have time, let me treat you to a meal and say thank you in person."
Listening to her tone, Lu Xingchen easily thought of her well-behaved appearance at Luo Shi’s birthday party, and replied in the same tone as usual: "You're welcome."
"Miss Lu..."
"I'm sorry, I'm a little busy right now. If it's just to express my gratitude, I received it. You really don't need to worry about anything else."
"Oh..." Su Wanyi said apologetically, "Sorry for disturbing you. Thank you."
Lu Xingchen hung up the phone and thought to herself, the personalities of these two siblings are really polar opposites. However, for someone who had a bad childhood and such a complicated family background, Lu Xingchen would really refuse to be associated with him, because she knew too well what it was like.
But the tree wants to be still, the wind does not stop.
At ten o'clock in the evening New York time, Li Zhen and Luo Shi returned to the hotel. As soon as he entered the door and hadn't sat down yet, Luo Shi handed his cell phone to him.
Li Zhen thought it was about today's work, so he took it and took a look. It was a photo of Lu Xingchen getting into a Ferrari downstairs of the company.
The photo was taken with a very atmospheric atmosphere, and it clearly captured Chu Zeyan clinging to the window of the cab and looking at Lu Xingchen with a smile.
Luo Shi said coldly, "It's not even been half a month since I came out, and the harem is about to catch fire."
Li Zhen glared at him, stuffed the phone back into his hand, put his work bag down on the chair, and went to wash his hands. "You're such a good talker, why haven't you dealt with Walker yet?"
Speaking of this, Luo Shi was so angry that he jumped onto the bed and lay on his back, "Damn it, why are we still using their chips? Why don't we just make our own? Then we won't care about these foreigners anymore."
Previously, domestic technology in this area was not as good as that of foreign countries. Now that he has experienced this kind of thing, Li Zhen also feels that it is time. "Even if we want to do it, it will take some time."
Luo Shi stared at the ceiling and said, "They just want to raise the price. 20 percent, they are so bold."
Li Zhen washed his face and said, "As long as I can meet Morgan, I will find a way to lower the price."
Luo Shi excitedly got up from the bed when he heard this, "So you have been busy with this these days?"
"Or do you think I'm just playing around and don't want to go back to be with my girlfriend?"
"Oh, come on, it's been so long and you still haven't been able to get her down. You can only talk about calling her your girlfriend." Luo Shi lay back down with contempt.
Li Zhen walked back to his bedside, "What do you know about someone like you who walks with your lower body?"
Luo Shi said proudly, "I don't understand? Then look at my Xiao Bai, isn't she as obedient as a little lamb? Boss, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but a man should be tough when he needs to be tough, so that a woman will be as gentle as water and let you control her, instead of... she dares to climb into someone else's Ferrari after you've been out for only half a month."
Li Zhen gave him a sharp look and said, "I don't want to talk human language to an animal like you."
"That's not an animal, Mr. You have to be more careful, be careful that Lu Xingchen is hanging you around and looking for a better job. Oh, of course, Lu Xingchen doesn't even want to ride on your donkey..."
Before he could finish his words, a pillow blocked his face. The next second, Li Zhen pressed over, covered the pillow and started beating him. Because he was right logically but physically he was at a disadvantage, Luo Shi was a bastard who kept talking about all sorts of things, so he was lucky if he wasn't beaten to death.
After a while of quarreling, the two of them lay on the bed in an H-shape, staring at the ceiling.
Luo Shi asked: "Are you really not jealous at all?"
Li Zhen glanced at him sideways, "I wish I could fly back and beat that Chu guy to death. I've been annoyed with him for a long time, but I can't make my girlfriend unhappy just based on a photo, right? If I don't have this little bit of trust, then she... really won't ride on me."
"Hmm..." Luo Shi didn't know whether he should say the word "coward" or not. Although he didn't say the word "coward", he was still amused by Li Zhen's last sentence.
Luo Shi slowly turned his body to the side and buried his face in the pillow. His body started to tremble slightly, and then he couldn't help laughing. He laughed so hard that he rolled over while holding his stomach.
"Oh my god, I don't believe you if you dare to say that you are Li Zhen from Zhencheng. I suspect that Lu Xingchen is the man, and you are her girl, and the sweet one..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Zhen pressed him down on the bed and hit him with a pillow again, "I can't kill you."
Luo Shi yelled, "Li Zhen... Tian Zhen! What's the point of you pushing me onto the bed? If you have the guts, it's wrong to push Lu Xingchen onto the bed. If you have the guts, you can let Lu Xingchen push you onto the bed and ride you to death. Oh, boss... I was wrong!"
