Shen Qiaoyi finished the design draft in her hand, rubbed her sore neck, and was about to take out the ball of wool hidden in the drawer, when Zheng Siya, who was sharp-eyed, noticed her and blew a hooligan whistle exaggeratedly.
"Yo yo, look at our young Miss Shen..." Zheng Siya looked at her from head to toe, and said with a smile, "You plow the fields and I weave... envy the dead..."
Colleagues passed by from time to time, Shen Qiaoyi hurriedly got up and covered her mouth: "Hey, keep your voice down, it's not time to get off work yet."
Zheng Siya laughed twice: "It's okay, I'm still a half-boss anyway, I allow you to do private work during working hours."
Shen Qiaoyi let out a chuckle: "Then I thank you, boss."
"Which one of us is with whom." Zheng Siya stretched out her hand to hook her shoulders, and took a closer look at the sweater: "My God, Yiyi, your hands are so clever, your knitting is better than the ones bought in the mall... that …I’m going to buy wool tomorrow, and knit one for me too.”
Shen Qiaoyi was a little embarrassed: "It is possible, but you have to wait..."
Zheng Siya pouted and complained: "I think you just need to close the sleeves for this one in your hand, and you can knit it for me tomorrow."
"That... I want to knit another scarf for Zhi Yuan..." Shen Qiaoyi caught a glimpse of Zheng Siya's displeasure, and her voice became lower and lower: "I also want to knit another scarf for her..."
"Hey, are you enough?" Zheng Siya pursed her mouth, looking like she was about to cry: "Yiyi, you have changed, you only have that Zhiyuan in your heart now... you don't care about me anymore..."
"Siya, don't be like this, Zhiyuan is very poor... She has had a bad life since she was a child, and she doesn't even have a decent sweater, don't fight with her... okay?"
Zheng Siya is like a concubine vying for favor, with a sour tone like a [-]-year-old vinegar: "Humph! Fight? How can I win her over?"
Facing Zheng Siya, who was more dramatic than herself, Shen Qiaoyi could only compromise: "Okay, okay, when I finish knitting the scarf, I'll knit it for you, okay?"
Zheng Siya finally showed a satisfied smile: "It's not too bad."
She glanced at the wall clock and asked: "There is still half an hour to get off work, do you want to go and drink?"
Shen Qiaoyi nodded: "Then I'll call Zhi Yuan first."
She dialed Lu Zhiyuan's number, but no one answered even three times. Shen Qiaoyi lowered her hands depressedly, and whispered to herself: "Zhiyuan...why didn't you answer the phone?"
................................................
In fact, when Shen Qiaoyi called Lu Zhiyuan, she was in a taxi, and the ringtone was covered by the radio in the car, so she didn't answer it immediately.
The taxi crossed the straight street and entered the most famous wealthy area in Z City ━ Xuelang Mountain.
The villa of Lu Zhiyuan's family is located on the mountainside of Xuelang Mountain, a whole row of overlapping, like a small palace.The green plants in the stacked villas are all rare wild tung trees. The huge trees shade the sky and cover the sky, making the spring water winding down from the top of the mountain clear to the bottom.
The rich pay more attention to Fengshui when building their houses, and only when they are backed by mountains and facing water can their houses prosper.
Taxi drivers usually carry passengers in and out of high-end residential areas, and have seen many artificial lakes. Private houses like this have natural mountains and rivers, let alone seen, or even heard of.
He raised his eyes calmly, looked at Lu Zhiyuan secretly through the rearview mirror, and saw that she was wearing a shirt worth tens of yuan in the wholesale market, and asked uncertainly, "Is it here?"
Lu Zhiyuan said lightly: "Drive in."
The driver stepped on the accelerator tremblingly, and drove forward cautiously.
The private security guard at the door saw the taxi coming from a distance, and was about to go up to stop it. When he caught sight of Lu Zhiyuan in the back row, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Miss, why did you come back by taxi? Where's the driver?"
As he spoke, he pressed the intercom again: "Aunt Fu, Missy is back."
In less than 2 minutes, the housekeeper, Aunt Fu, came out to greet her, and the maids in uniforms all bowed and stood aside, waiting to be dispatched.
"Miss..." Aunt Fu followed Lu Zhiyuan in a small step, with a worried expression on her face: "You haven't been home for more than a month, and you haven't been in a villa outside. Ma'am, she...she doesn't look very happy."
Lu Zhiyuan paused, turned his head to look at Aunt Fu, his rouge lips curled up in a mocking arc: "Aunt Fu, during the month I was away, did Qin Mian often ask uncle to play cards at home?"
Aunt Fu was taken aback, obviously a little surprised by Lu Zhiyuan's well-informed: "It's not just that, the whole family came, crying and crying in front of Madam... There is no shortage of arrangements for you, Miss, you will see Madam later and talk well, don't quarrel with her anymore ..."
Most of the servants in the Lu family have been bought by Qin Mian, only Aunt Fu is sincere to Lu Zhiyuan. Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan kept his face cold and silent, she followed her step by step and said: "Miss, listen to Aunt Fu and speak well." ..."
Aunt Fu chased all the way to the main hall, and the person on the nanmu chair stopped at the corner of her eyes, bent slightly, and called out in a neutral voice: "Madam Qin."
Qin Mian is wearing the latest autumn velvet skirt of BARRZ. This brand is deeply loved by the lady circle for its elegant and leisurely colors. However, Qin Mian's face is beautiful, but she is shrewd and calculating. On the contrary, the luxury brand BARRZ Wear a strong smell of wind and dust.
Frozen almond tea and exquisite snacks were placed on the nanmu table in the main hall. Qin Mian put down the teacup and was about to reprimand Aunt Fu to show her majesty as a "hostess". Holding a snack, she approached her eyes: "Zhiyuan is back, come and try this sweet roll, it's made by a newly recruited Italian chef in the kitchen, and it's a good skill."
Lu Zhiyuan's complexion was deep, and his frost-covered gaze was fixed on Qin Mian's face, staring at her until her scalp became tense.
After a while, Lu Zhiyuan curled the corners of his lips, but his smile made people shudder: "Mrs. Qin, aren't you tired of acting all day long?"
After speaking, he went straight to the spiral staircase, leaving Qin Mian with an indifferent back.
The moment Lu Zhiyuan turned around, the smile on Qin Mian's face gradually narrowed, and the vicious expression returned.
................................................
In the study
Lu Yuexi put down the document, lightly hooked his fingertips, and took off the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose.
She pinched her sore nose, leaned back in the chair, and stared at the photo frame on the table.
The photo in the photo frame is slightly yellowed and looks old. In the photo is a student-like Omega, wearing a modified aristocratic school uniform, with slightly curly long hair hanging down his shoulders, blending youth and charm perfectly. Even the school uniform in white can't suppress the various styles that are ready to come out.
Meng Ziyan destroyed all the photos when she left, and this student photo was included in the book and was omitted.
Lu Yuexi quietly looked at the only photo left by his wife, with a glint of water in his eyes: "Ayan, why are you hiding and refusing to see me? You... still refuse to forgive me? thinking of you……"
The study door was knocked three times, Lu Yuexi put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose, covered the redness in his eyes, and calmed down: "Come in!"
When Lu Zhiyuan came in, Lu Yuexi no longer had the affectionate look just now, but put on a straight face, and reprimanded him coldly: "You still know how to come back?"
Lu Zhiyuan knew that if he didn't return to Lu's house for half a month, Qin Mian would definitely send someone to check her.
She is well aware of Qin Mian's methods, and in order to prevent her from being unfavorable to Shen Qiaoyi, she has made arrangements in advance. Qin Mian can only find out that she has been "not drinking" for half a month.
Lu Yuexi's voice became deeper and deeper: "I heard that you are not working at the group headquarters now, are you?"
Lu Zhiyuan didn't defend himself, just stood quietly, as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing that she was silent, Lu Yuexi lowered her long eyebrows and burst out with anger: "What a nonsense! The dignified president of the Lu family hangs out in the bar all day, what do people outside think of our Lu family?"
"At the beginning, you wanted to open such a club, but I disagreed. If you can't manage the Lu family's property, how can you still think about it? But you have made some achievements in these years, so I just turned a blind eye to it. Eyes. Young people, I also understand that when you are under a lot of pressure, you really want to have a place to vent, but you have to distinguish which is more important, the Lu family is the painstaking efforts of several generations of the Lu family, you have the responsibility to protect it."
Lu Zhiyuan still didn't speak, and silently recited three numbers in his heart, and he heard a crisp knock on the door.
Qin Mian came in deliberately, and put a bowl of thickly boiled traditional Chinese medicine in front of Lu Yuexi, with a concerned tone: "Yuexi, don't be angry, your heart is not good. Doctor Feng told me to drink the medicine within two hours in the afternoon. "
Lu Zhiyuan remained calm and watched her perform quietly.
Lu Yuexi frowned suddenly when he smelled the bitterness of the traditional Chinese medicine, and then looked up at Lu Zhiyuan's unrestrained appearance, his brows became tighter and tighter: "Lu Zhiyuan, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
Before Lu Zhiyuan could reply, Qin Mian immediately posted it up to rub Lu Yuexi's heart: "Oh, why did you get angry again? Zhiyuan is a capable child, and within two years of taking over the company, the profit has increased by [-]%. Uncle, uncle Praise her..."
Qin Mian's words seemed to be praising her, but they were actually provoking trouble deliberately, trying to intensify the conflict.
Sure enough, when mentioning a few uncles, Lu Yuexi's expression was even uglier than before: "Also, why did you transfer your third uncle from marketing to the logistics and security department? You dismissed the old employees who had worked hard for the company one by one. What's the difference between grinding and killing a donkey, who will work for our Lu family in the future?"
The corner of Lu Zhiyuan's mouth slowly raised a mocking arc.
Qin Mian still couldn't hold her breath.
But it's no wonder that she has only a few eyeliners who can talk in Lu's, and if she is uprooted suddenly, she will jump the wall in a hurry.
Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyes unhurriedly, and his eyes slowly passed over Qin Mian's face, and finally met Lu Yuexi: "Mom, 5 minutes ago, I asked Xia Rong to send the financial statements for the first half of the year to your mobile phone. The marketing department's expenses accounted for 50% of the reimbursement of the third uncle alone. The most outrageous thing is that there is even a "mark removal" fee in it. Just ask him, a male Alpha, how can he have such an expense to be reimbursed? ?”
Lu Yuexi turned on the phone and looked at it at a glance. Seeing this, Qin Mian was afraid that he would not be able to keep this chess piece, so he hurriedly handed over the medicine bowl, disturbing Lu Yuexi's sight: "In fact, the company always needs to socialize when expanding its business. Knowing the source, this is all It takes a long time to see the effect of putting a long line to catch big fish. It is normal to overspend a little.”
Lu Zhiyuan met her gaze, lightly hooked his red lips, and smiled calmly and contemptuously: "Is that so, it's normal for the third uncle to make a small movie at Ziyue Hotel?"
Hearing the words "Ziyue Hotel", Lu Yuexi's calm eyes trembled, and he asked sharply, "What's going on?"
Almost instantly, the smile on Qin Mian's face cracked and shattered like a mask.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at her steadily and smiled and added: "Mom, there is a video behind the report, you will understand after watching it."
Lu Yuexi clicked on the video with trembling hands, and after a brief shock, his red lips twitched twice: "Amian, I told you that you can take anything from the Lu family, but Ziyue Hotel is owned by Ah Yan. Dowry, her things, you are not allowed to touch any of them."
"I don't have anything that touches sister Yan..." Qin Mian bit her lower lip, her eyes were almost red: "I don't know...why did they shoot something like that in Ziyue Hotel... Sister Yuexi, You believe me……"
Lu Yuexi raised his head abruptly, and looked straight into Qin Mian's eyes. Qin Mian seemed to be seen through, the corners of his mouth froze, and finally he squeezed out a few tears: "Sister Yuexi, I know that Zhiyuan has always disliked me...hate me Forcing her mommy away...but I really never did it...you believe me..."
Qin Mian's choked sobs gradually turned into low sobs: "I... I'd better go back to my hometown... My parents' spiritual places are also there..."
Qin Mian cried until she was gradually speechless, while Lu Yuexi stood aside, eyes as thick as black ink filled with complicated emotions.
After a long time, she murmured a sentence: "Amian, I believe in you. Don't go anywhere, just stay at Lu's house with peace of mind."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhiyuan lowered his eyes in disappointment.
Every time Qin Mian wants to leave, crying and crying, Lu Yuexi will try his best to persuade him to stay. This kind of drama will be staged every three to five days.
What is she still looking forward to?
In Lu Yuexi's heart, kindness is more important than anything else.
Qin Mian's parents died to save her. In order to repay her kindness, she can even abandon her Omega mother, so what is she?
The disappointment and anger on Lu Zhiyuan's face slowly disappeared, and finally he raised his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, with pain in his eyes: "Mom, you believe her, but you don't believe me..."
Lu Yuexi was stabbed by her eyes, turned his face away and said coldly: "No one is allowed to mention this matter in the future."
The crystal chandelier in the aisle of the study shone full of warmth.However, there was an iceberg between Lu Zhiyuan and her Alpha mother, and the atmosphere froze instantly.
Lu Zhiyuan walked out slowly, stopped at the door, and turned his back to Lu Yuexi, his back was straight and stubborn: "If I can choose, I hope I am not your daughter."
Lu Yuexi froze on the spot, and tears rolled down uncontrollably. After a long time, he heard himself make a low and inaudible voice: "Zhiyuan, I'm sorry..."
......................................................
Lu Zhiyuan sat on the floor of the apartment room, silently looking at the photo of himself and Meng Ziyan on the phone.
The curtains are very opaque, sucking up all the crescent moon light.There is nothing but darkness in the whole house, and even the air inhaled in the nasal cavity feels lonely.
She clicked on Meng Ziyan's number, hesitated for a few seconds, and pressed it lightly.
The moment the phone was connected, Lu Zhiyuan took a deep breath, forced back the moisture in his eyes, and smiled: "Mommy..."
Meng Ziyan seemed to be busy, and she could vaguely hear noisy conversations on the phone.She clutched her phone and left the seat, looking for a secluded corner: "Yuanbao, why did you think of calling Mommy today? It must be very late for you, right?
Maybe it was because I hadn't seen him for too long, Lu Zhiyuan opened and closed his lips several times, and then slowly said a word: "Mommy, I want a sweater."
Meng Ziyan smiled softly: "Sweater, okay, I'll send it to you as soon as I finish knitting it."
express delivery?
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his long eyelashes in disappointment.
Mommy, is she still unwilling to come back?
On the phone, Meng Ziyan's voice was still gentle: "Yuanbao, what color do you like? Last time I saw you, I saw that you all wore black, and the wool was also black, okay?"
Lu Zhiyuan's voice gradually lowered: "The last time we met was at grandma's funeral eight years ago... Mommy, we haven't seen each other for eight years..."
Meng Ziyan stood in the corner of the aisle, the wind blew across her cheeks, and it was icy cold, and she realized that she had already burst into tears.
Think of her, Meng Ziyan, who was born noble and outstanding in everything, but she is a coward through and through in terms of emotions.
During the days when she was separated from Lu Yuexi, she always held a trace of fantasy, foolishly waiting for her to come to find her, until at her mother's funeral, she saw Lu Yuexi and Qin Mian coming in and out as a pair, shattering her last trace of fantasy.
Meng Ziyan bought a plane ticket to country M, and fled hastily in the most cowardly way.
"I'm sorry... Yuanbao... Mommy is not a good mommy."
"I miss you so much..." Lu Zhiyuan's throat choked: "Mommy, can I come and see you?"
"No, don't...don't come here...as soon as you come here, she will come too. Yuanbao, I don't want to see your mother for now."
"Then... Mommy, take me with you."
Meng Ziyan still didn't agree, her voice was very low, with a hint of guilt: "Yuanbao, you are the only child in the Lu family, I can't, I can't take you away..."
"Mummy...you don't want me...you never want me..."
"No, Yuanbao..." Meng Ziyan wanted to explain something, but was unable to refute.She left her young daughter behind and went back to Meng's house alone, and then left for another country. She only cared about healing herself, but ignored the wound in Lu Zhiyuan's heart.
Someone outside the corridor was calling her name, Meng Ziyan hung up the phone as if avoiding it: "I'm sorry Yuanbao, Mommy is a little busy here, I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"
Lu Zhiyuan stared blankly at the phone screen that had been dark for a long time, and his hands dropped weakly little by little.
Everyone envies that she was born at the top of the pyramid, but no matter how good the material conditions are, it can't match the company of her parents.
She is lonely, very alone.
However, everyone ignored her and allowed her wound to fester slowly in silence.
Ever since she was a child, Lu Zhiyuan has never received sincere care. She has always felt that she——
is a superfluous person.
The phone screen suddenly brightened again, Lu Zhiyuan scratched his lower eyelids with his finger in a daze, and connected the phone.
"Zhiyuan, where are you? Why didn't you answer my call?"
It was Shen Qiaoyi's voice.
Her tone was full of concern, worry, and any kind of emotion, but there was nothing——
blame.
Lu Zhiyuan's voice was low and hoarse, as if exhausted: "In the apartment, your apartment."
Lu Zhiyuan's expression could not be seen through the receiver, but Shen Qiaoyi could feel that she was in a bad mood, and became more and more worried: "Is your voice so hoarse, is it uncomfortable?"
Lu Zhiyuan didn't seem to want to tell the truth, so he coughed twice cooperatively: "Well, a little bit."
Shen Qiaoyi frowned: "Then I'll be right back."
The author says:
Shen Qiaoyi: Zhi Yuan is so pitiful and distressed, how should I coax her?
There are probably three or four chapters left of the CAR you want to watch (wink)
