Chapter 103

And Lu Zhengnan hung up the phone, walked back to Ye Chuxiao and sat down, watching her slender fingers peel lotus seeds from the emerald green lotus pod, after a long while, he smiled: "I still feel that I am very lucky."

Ye Chuxiao turned to look at him, and he kissed her lightly on the lips. Mi Lier over there saw it and pointed it to the old man: "Mom and Dad are kissing again."

"Tch, what are children doing so much?" The old man covered her eyes with his hands, but he was also smiling...

At night, the grandpa and grandson went to bed first, and Lu Zhengnan and Ye Chuxiao sat side by side on the stone steps to watch the moonlight.

Today is approaching the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon is very round, like a round silver plate, with faint light and shadow inside. I don’t know if there are really laurel trees, Wu Gang, and Chang’e jade rabbits.

"Chu Xiao," Lu Zhengnan took her hand and held it on his lap: "I know, until now, you still feel sorry for the child."

Ye Chuxiao lowered her head, bit her lip and remained silent.

"But I really think it's good to let nature take its course." Lu Zhengnan held her on his shoulders: "Look how good our family is now."

"But..." Ye Chuxiao sighed.She also thought it was good, but thinking that he would never have a child of his own, she still felt it was unfair and sorry for him.

"People, cherishing what you have now is much more important than pursuing what you lost in the past." Lu Zhengnan gently stroked her forehead: "I see you all by my side now, and I am very satisfied."

"Zhengnan..." She muttered his name and raised her eyes to look at him.

He also looked at her, for a long while, and suddenly smiled badly: "However, you are still young, and it is still too early for me to be 'excellent'. If you really want children, we will work hard for ten years before it is too late. After that, every night Try harder a few more times..." His tone became more and more ambiguous, she blushed with shame, stood up and wanted to run: "I'm telling you that you are serious and you are molesting me..."

"My wife is just for teasing..." He grabbed her from behind with a grin, and lifted her into the air.

After entering the room, he put her on the quilt that still smelled of sunshine, supported her above her body, and stared at her quietly.

The moonlight flows between them like soft white water.

"Zhengnan." She raised her hand, passed through the moonlight, and stroked his face.

How can I meet such a wonderful you?She asked in her heart, lightly drawing his outline with her fingertips.

He closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes brushed against her fingertips, causing a slight itch.

"Chu Xiao, we will be happy." He bent down and slowly covered her lips.

She also catered to it, using all her body and mind.

Yes, Zhengnan, I believe that too.

we will be happy.

Lu Zhengnan was not in a hurry to go back, he lived in the countryside until Mi Li'er's summer vacation was almost over, and then brought his family back to the city.

Sheng Xuan and Xiang Min prepared a welcome ceremony for them in the Yunshui Pavilion. The lights and strips of various colors decorated the house joyfully and festively, sweeping away the shadows left before.

Yu Xingyuan and Monica also took the time to come, and Shen Ya and Chen Ze were also picked up. Everyone was very grateful to be able to meet again in such a safe and happy way.

No one mentioned Qi Zhen. When he insisted on destroying the past world, he was doomed. From then on, he was left alone in his world.

On the second day of the welcome banquet, the old man saw that he had already settled down here, thinking that he had other things to do in Beijing, so he said he was going back.

Mi Lier couldn't bear it, she hugged him and cried, and the old man also couldn't bear to bear this little granddaughter, so he had to stay for a few more days, and agreed to wait until she started school before leaving.

When the day of enrollment came, the old man sent her to sign up.

There were a lot of people paying the fee, and he was afraid that Mi Lier would be in a hurry, so he asked her to go to the next play area with the children first, and stay in line by himself.

When Mi Lier was playing on the seesaw, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind. She turned her head and saw the person, and smiled brightly: "Uncle and Dad."

She always called him that, with the word "uncle" always added in front of it, and Qi Zhen recalled that day when she cheerfully called Lu Zhengnan "Dad" on the phone, feeling sad for a while.

"Baby is starting school?" He carried her down, seeing her politely say "I'm sorry" to the kid on the other side of the seesaw, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Ye Chuxiao and the others have indeed taught this child very well.

"Grandpa is over there." Mi Li'er didn't know the kindness and resentment between the adults. To her, they were her closest people.

Hearing this, Qi Zhen was startled for a moment, looked in the direction, and saw the back of the old man, with a slightly bent back and gray hair. Someone came to distribute the advertisements for the remedial class, so he put on his reading glasses and carefully looked at the old man. Look.

He is just like all the grandparents in the team, no difference at all.

Unable to describe the feeling, Qi Zhen couldn't stand up any longer, and excused that he had something to do and had to leave first.

"So busy?" Mi Lier pouted, "But I haven't seen you for a long time."

She still misses him.Qi Zhen's heart warmed up, and he hugged her again: "Dad will come to school to see you in two days."

Mi Lier nodded, but at this moment, the old man was already at the front of the line, and turned around to look for Mi Lier, but when he saw Qi Zhen, his expression froze.

The registered teacher was still waiting, he was startled, and finally called out "Mi Lier".

Mi Lier agreed and ran over briskly, dragging Qi Zhen's hand in her hand.

He was passively pulled over by her, and when facing the old man, both of them were silent and embarrassed.

The old man didn't say anything else, he gave Mi Li'er his name first.

After registering, Mi Li'er said that she was thirsty, the old man took out the water bottle from the bag he was carrying, unscrewed the lid and gave it to her, and she leaned in his arms, drinking with both hands.

Everything comes naturally.

Qi Zhen stood by and watched, then suddenly turned around and left without even saying goodbye.

Mi Lier put down the kettle in surprise, raised her head and asked the old man, "Grandpa, what's wrong with him?"

The old man was also sore in his heart, he just patted her head: "Maybe there is something urgent, so I left."

At this moment, Qi Zhen rushed all the way to the car, holding the steering wheel tightly, panting.

He can't be soft-hearted, and he can't just be soft-hearted like this.

He will never forget the hatred and pain he once had.

The old man returned home, and when Mi Lier went upstairs to find Ye Chuxiao, he told Lu Zhengnan about meeting Qi Zhen at school today.

After Lu Zhengnan listened, he was silent for a while, and said softly: "He won't give up."

The old man was also silent, sighed finally, and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll go back tomorrow, if you need something, just tell me in time, don't take it all by yourself."

Lu Zhengnan hugged him with a smile: "What are we old brothers doing with such polite words?"

"You are not big or young, but you want me to whip you with a bamboo stick?" The old man gave him a blank look, stood up and went into the room to pack his things.

Lu Zhengnan leaned on the sofa with his arms on his head, looked at his back, vaguely listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter upstairs, closed his eyes and smiled.

He will protect this family and those he loves, even if he gives everything he has, he will do his best.

The next day, the old man returned to Beijing, afraid that Mi Lier would cry, so he deliberately left while she was in school, Ye Chuxiao and Lu Zhengnan sent him to the airport.

When he was about to enter the security check, he was still telling Ye Chuxiao to relax, but she just smiled and nodded.

With this old man, from the initial confrontation to the current harmony, they have become a real family.

Maybe he really made mistakes in his life, but he has sincerely repented and made amends after going through hardships so far, so he should be forgiven.

It's just that Qi Zhen will probably never be able to forgive.

Thinking of Qi Zhen, she smiled.

For him, at first it was deep love, and later, it was hatred, but now, both love and hatred seem to be gone. Thinking of this name, there is a dead silence in my heart, as if he is really a stranger who has nothing to do with her.

This is the saddest ending for the two of them.

Obviously they have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers together, but in the end, it seems that they have never met each other in their lives.

"Go back." Lu Zhengnan's voice interrupted her thoughts, she came back to her senses, and left with him...

****************************
When the old man returned to Beijing, Mother Lu turned around and went back to the house as soon as she saw him. He ignored it and went back to his east wing.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, mother Lu wanted to continue to lose her temper, but seeing that he was still indifferent, she couldn't help it, so she had to come over slowly again and sit down at the table.

The old man remained silent, turning a blind eye to her.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Hey, you left me, you guys ran away for a few months, didn't you even ask me when you came back?"

The old man finally raised his head to look at her: "Do you care about us asking? Back then, Ren Chuxiao was still living in the hospital, who lost his temper and left with a different nose and face?"

"Protect her, you all protect her, one who can't give birth to a child..." Lu's mother scolded through gritted teeth, but under the gaze of the old man, she had to keep silent, and took chopsticks to slap her into her bowl viciously. meals.

The old man also completely lost his appetite, so he got up and walked out of the dining room. Seeing him walking towards the door, Mother Lu panicked and chased after him: "Are you going to go to their place again?"

Originally, he just wanted to go for a walk in the alley. Hearing what she said, he turned his head angrily: "Yes, it's better for me to go anywhere than to stay here!"

When he really went out, Mother Lu stood under the eaves for a long while, and then entered the room with a wave of her hands, and there was a cry from inside.

Mrs. Chen stood outside, shook her head, and sighed secretly, why bother, she was clearly looking forward to the old man's return, and when she came back, she would make trouble when she disagreed with three sentences...

It was only after the old man walked out of the yard that he felt more relaxed. At this age, in fact, he also hoped that the family would be harmonious and not have the energy to quarrel all day long, but most of the time, things always went unsatisfactory.

This alley is very long, and the neighboring houses are all old colleagues from the past, and the pictures are all about the tranquility of this place.

Halfway through, the door of the nearby courtyard opened and someone came out. The old man looked up and saw that it was Luo Xin.

The matter between this girl and Lu Zhengnan was arranged by Lu's mother alone. He didn't take much care of it, but only met a few times.

Now that the marriage has broken up, it is inevitable that I will feel apologetic when we meet, so I take the initiative to smile and nod to her, and say hello.

In terms of building relationships, Luo Xin can be said to be a fine person. Although she can no longer be Lu Zhengnan's fiancée, at least she can be Shi Man's best friend.

She walked over with a sweet smile, called "Uncle Lu", and then seemed to hesitate to speak.

"What's wrong?" the old man asked politely.

Luo Xin sighed for a long time: "You should go and see Xiaoman more, since what happened last time, she has been very decadent."

The old man was taken aback. He had indeed not contacted Shiman for a long time.

Luo Xin also described in detail Shiman's recent decadent performance, except for fooling around in nightclubs, there are no details.

Seeing that the old man frowned, she stopped in time, seeming to be sincerely concerned: "Xiaoman looks strong, but is actually quite fragile. Although we friends can accompany you, you still need to persuade him She, let her see everything more openly."

Enough of warm and sensible performances, she said she still had something to do, so she left first.

The old man would not be fooled by her, thinking how good she is, but what she said about Shiman still made him uneasy, he hesitated for a while, and finally called Shiman when he got home. went to the phone.

It was only seven or eight o'clock at the moment, but Shiman on the other end was sleepy, and he didn't know if he went to bed early, or he hadn't slept since playing yesterday.

"What, Dad?" she asked feebly.

The old man paused for a moment before opening his mouth: "Today... I met Luo Xin and said that your condition is not very good."

"Why not? Well, I have always been very good?" Shiman smiled mockingly: "But thank you for remembering to ask me."

The old man's heart stabbed, no matter how bad she is, she is his daughter after all, so it is impossible for her to have no feelings.

"You...you and Qizhen..." He hesitated and didn't know whether to ask or not, but Shiman answered straightforwardly: "I want to divorce, but he doesn't agree, let's forget it, anyway. After so many years, we are no different from divorce."

These words of hers made the old man even more heavy. She didn't know what to say for a while, so she yawned impatiently: "I'm very sleepy, hang up."

She didn't say to keep in touch, it seemed that there was no need to keep in touch between their father and daughter.

The old man sat in the dim light for a long time before he slowly put down the microphone...

And Shi Man on the other end really hung up the phone, but couldn't feel sleepy again, lay down on the bed for a while, and called Luo Xin.

Luo Xin picked it up, and immediately asked for credit, saying what he said when he met the old man today.

Shiman just responded lightly: "My dad just called me, but we actually have nothing to talk about now."

Luo Xin choked immediately, and explained with a dry smile, "I'm kind too."

"I know." Shiman brushed her hair, not intending to listen to what she was flaunting, and directly changed the subject: "Are you free tonight, come out to play."

It was the same bar they used to go to, and today they unexpectedly met the group of people from last time. When they met Shiman, the three people who once had a spring night with her that night surrounded them again.

"I met a beautiful woman again, was it fun that night?" One of them put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey or not, I only have one-night stands, don't play too much, let go." Shiman shook him off in disgust, and walked to the dance floor.

"It's really ruthless." The three looked at each other, and the leader followed Shiman, and stuck to her body from behind, with a wrist around her waist.

Shiman was already in a bad mood today, and now he was extremely irritable. The eldest lady also lost her temper, and she just slapped her face when she raised her hand.

"Dare to hit me!" The man suddenly changed his color, and dragged her to the next box.

At this moment, Luo Xin saw that the situation was not right, and came over to stop him, but he glared at him with a smile: "What? You want to play with us too?"

Luo Xin's eyes hesitated for a moment, and his footsteps retreated quietly.

Shiman was immediately dragged into the box by them, and as soon as the door was closed, someone jumped up and tore her clothes.

"You fucking die, do you know who I am?" Shiman cursed.

"It doesn't matter who you are on this land!" There was only a "stab" sound, and the skirt on her body was torn in two.The plump breasts and buttocks were about to come out, which stimulated them even more, and they pushed her down on the coffee table.

Coming out to play and being raped are two different things. Shiman screamed for help, but someone covered his mouth.

"Today is really not as good as that night." The leader looked at her and sneered while taking off his clothes.

The person next to him immediately offered advice: "It's just right, I have something today, let her try it."

Seeing the man take out the syringe, Shiman widened his eyes in horror and shook his head.

But it was too late, her arm was pulled up, and then she only felt a numbness in the skin, and the needle had already penetrated.

When the injection was finished, her face was ashen, and after a while, her consciousness gradually faded, and there seemed to be colorful and magnificent flowers blooming in front of her eyes, she stared at it and smiled idiotically...

When she woke up again, she was already lying on the bed with Luo Xin beside her.

Luo Xin was kind of helpful, after finally getting away, he called another group of people to come over, rescued Shiman from the box, and sent them here.

"I wanted to call the police, but I was afraid...that my reputation would be ruined..." She explained to Shiman, "I was afraid that your family would be worried, so I didn't notify you."

"Forget it, I always come out to play, how can nothing happen?" Shi Man sat up with support, turned his eyes and saw the needle hole on his arm, and felt a little trembling in his heart: "It shouldn't be addictive just once, right? "

"It should be fine." Luo Xin comforted her: "Besides, it's probably drugged or something, and it won't be too serious."

This consolation is a bit self-deceiving, but now, Shiman can only believe so, and doesn't want to think too much.

Afterwards, they went home separately, and agreed never to mention this matter again...

Half a month later, the ancient city.

The villa was officially completed, and today is the listing ceremony.

Lu Zhengnan watched the sign that said "Zhengnan Villa" being slowly raised up, with a contented smile on his face.

Qi Zhen, who was standing next to him, was smiling, but his eyes were gloomy.

This name declares the ownership, even if he invested in it, he did not lose much, but the big one is still Lu Zhengnan, and he is the chairman in name, so he can't defy it.

After hanging the cards, it was time to cut the ribbon. The person standing in the center was still Lu Zhengnan, and Qi Zhen was just a foil.

The guests all praised the villa, and Lu Zhengnan patted Qi Zhen on the shoulder: "It's all thanks to Mr. Qi, our hard work, that we can achieve today's results."

This sentence sounds like a compliment, but it clearly points out the status between them.

Qi Zhen lowered his eyelashes halfway, accepting compliments from others with a smile, but the fingertips hanging by his side tightened slightly.

Lu Zhengnan was very good at conquering people. After the ceremony, he held an internal celebration banquet. It was really a reward for meritorious deeds, and the rewards were generous.

Those who knew the inside story were a little embarrassed when they got the red envelopes, and those who didn't know cheered happily.

However, Lu Zhengnan himself showed no qualms, throughout the banquet, he never forgot to praise Qi Zhen, so affectionate.

When the crowd dispersed, Lu Zhengnan and Qi Zhen were sitting in the private room. He raised his eyes and smiled: "President Qi, no one is worse than the other when it comes to saving face, right?"

Qi Zhen was silent.

"Okay." Lu Zhengnan stood up: "In the future, we will cooperate sincerely to lead this Zhengnan Villa to glory."

He bit down the words "Zhengnan Villa" very hard, and Qi Zhen's face turned slightly blue.

Lu Zhengnan glanced at him with a smile, and left directly...
