Chapter 129 The Return
Chen Ze, who had been standing not far away, came forward and patted Lu Zhengnan's shoulder: "Come on, brother, let's have a drink."

Lu Zhengnan forced himself to smile, to conceal the mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, and followed Chen Ze into the car.

On the way, Chen Ze looked ahead and sighed softly: "Actually, Zhengnan, to be honest, I still think that you and Chu Xiao are the most suitable couple."

Lu Zhengnan didn't make a sound.

"Come back to the ancient city, where you fell, where you got up, and do a good job again, and win back what you lost before." Chen Ze turned his face sideways, looked at her and smiled: "Don't let her down."

Lu Zhengnan turned his gaze out of the window, looking at the familiar city.

Yes, he was not reconciled to leaving in defeat at the beginning. Even if he went elsewhere, he would always miss this place, the place that left the deepest and most precious memory in his life.

"Okay, I'll be back." After a long time, he finally said this in a low voice.

Chen Ze laughed happily and patted him on the shoulder: "Good buddy, you come back and start a new company, and I'll be your legal consultant. This time, it's all free, and I'll just treat it as my technical investment."

"Tch, you have a good plan." Lu Zhengnan curled his lips in disdain, but his heart was filled with warmth and courage.

Yes, he wants to start all over again, not to disappoint these friends, not to... the person he loves the most.

When they were drinking, the two of them were not lively, so he simply called Yu Xingyuan and the others to join them.

"Oh, fourth brother, you're back." Sheng Xuan was the youngest sister in this group of people since she was a child, and she ran over at this moment, getting tired of Lu Zhengnan's coquettish: "I really want to kill you."

"Go, the Lord is over there, don't blame me if you get jealous for a while." He smiled and pushed her out of his arms.

Sheng Xuan stuck out her tongue, but still hugged Lu Zhengnan tightly: "I really miss you, and I won't see you for many years."

"It won't happen in the future." Lu Zhengnan patted her on the head: "I plan to... go back to the ancient city and reopen the company."

As soon as this remark came out, even Yu Xingyuan and Xiang Min were stunned, Sheng Xuan looked at him in surprise, after a while, jumped up and hugged him tightly again, laughing and crying: "Really, fourth brother? real?"

Lu Zhengnan patted her on the back, looked at Yu Xingyuan and Xiang Min over there: "Really, I'm coming back."

They also came over and grabbed his shoulders from left to right. The four of them were speechless for a long time.

"Okay, okay, today is a happy day, come on, don't cry so much, drink and drink." Chen Ze made a joke over there, and everyone was relieved and took their seats.

"Welcome the fourth child back." Yu Xingyuan raised his wine glass, and the others also touched each other, and drank it all in one gulp. The deep friendship was all in the wine.

After [-] days of drinking, the mood calmed down a bit, Sheng Xuan asked curiously: "Hey, fourth brother, no matter how much we tried to persuade you before, why did you suddenly think about it this time?"

Lu Zhengnan turned the wine glass in his hand, and after a long silence, he said, "Because of the dawn."

"Fourth sister-in-law?" Sheng Xuan exclaimed.

Lu Zhengnan recounted what happened today, the three of them were stunned, Sheng Xuan covered her eyes with her hands, tears flowed down again, she kept shaking her head: "Fourth Brother, really, Fourth Sister-in-Law is the best woman in the world."

"She is." Lu Zhengnan nodded, and the corners of his eyes were also astringent.

"Fourth, work harder," Yu Xingyuan pressed his shoulder: "After a while, chase her back again."

"Yes, chase it back and chase it back." Xiang Min was over there, beating the wine glass with his chopsticks and booing.

Lu Zhengnan just smiled, his eyes were no longer as sad as before, there seemed to be a gleam of light in the bottom of his eyes...

But that day when Ye Chuxiao came out of the notary office and returned to the hotel, Eric blamed her when he saw her: "Why didn't you call me?"

"The road is not far, and we will arrive soon after taking a taxi." She smiled.

"Is it all right?" he asked again.

Thinking of the situation just now, she let out a long breath: "Okay."

"That's good." Eric smiled: "Go in and eat."

She nodded and followed him into the restaurant, but just as she sat down, the manager suddenly came in, first subconsciously glanced at Ye Chuxiao, and then went to Eric's side to whisper.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up: "Chu Xiao, you eat first, I have something to deal with, and I will be back soon."

She agreed, and watched them go out, but vaguely felt that the manager gave her a look when he came in just now, which was unusual.

Over there, when Eric came to the hall, he saw the uninvited guest who came to "visit"——Qi Zhen.

"Hello." Eric remained calm and greeted every guest politely.

Qi Zhen was not as friendly as him, with dark eyes: "I heard that Chu Xiao came back with you, right?"

Eric smiled noncommittally: "Boss Qi is very concerned about our affairs."

The word he used, "we", made Qi Zhen even more furious, and said coldly, "Call her out."

Eric just looked at him calmly: "If you have anything to say to Chu Xiao, I can convey it for you."

"Why do you convey it to her?" Qi Zhen sneered.

"Just because..." Eric's eyes flashed: "She is my fiancee."

"It's impossible!" Qi Zhen growled like a boulder hit his heart.

"How is it impossible?" Eric asked with a faint smile, "We have been together for more than two years."

"I want to see her!" Qi Zhen gritted his teeth, with a look of rage in his eyes.

But Eric was unmoved.

In a fit of rage, Qi Zhen stretched out his hand and knocked down the cloisonné vase beside him, and it fell to pieces with a "bang".

The people around were startled, and they stopped and looked this way in astonishment.

"If she doesn't come out, you don't even think about doing business today." Qi Zhen said harshly.

"This vase is very valuable." Eric raised his eyebrows: "Originally, I could let you compensate according to the price, but for the sake of you being Mi Lier's biological father, forget it today, but if you If you continue to make trouble, I can only call the police, I think, no matter how powerful you are here, the government will always protect the legitimate rights and interests of Hong Kong businessmen."

Qi Zhen was so angry that the veins on the side of his neck twitched, and stared at him fiercely.

Eric didn't show any sign of weakness, and confronted him frankly.

At this time, Ye Chuxiao, who was eating in the restaurant, also vaguely heard the movement outside, and he had doubts in his heart before, so he went out to see what happened.

As soon as he got to the exit of the corridor, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the person standing in the hall.

Qi Zhen was still so sensitive to Ye Chuxiao's figure, he saw her at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Ye Chuxiao!" Footsteps have already rushed towards this side.

Eric stared blankly, then immediately turned around and stopped in front of Ye Chuxiao.

Qi Zhen couldn't touch Ye Chuxiao, so he pushed Eric, but he grabbed Qi Zhen's arm. During the struggle between the two, the security guard had already come and pulled Qi Zhen away.

"Ye Chuxiao, do you have the guts to do it, but don't you have the guts to face it?" Qi Zhen was furious, pointing at Ye Chuxiao and scolding: "Mi Lier is also my daughter, and you actually hide her so that I won't see her for the rest of my life. You are too selfish!"

At this time, Ye Chuxiao had recovered from the shock just now and slowly calmed down.

"Qi Zhen, no one in this world is more selfish than you." She smiled coldly, instead of hiding behind Eric's back, she walked out and faced Qi Zhen directly.

Looking at her standing side by side with Eric, Qi Zhen recalled Eric saying that she was his fiancée, and what Tang Xiqian said before, that Mi Lier had a new father, so he couldn't help being angry and shouted: "I am Mi Li Father, how can you be with another man?"

"I said long ago that I am Mi Li'er's mother, but not your wife, have you forgotten?" Ye Chuxiao raised her chin: "Qi Zhen, don't worry, when Mi Li'er grows up, if she wants to Come back to see you, I will not stop, but the rest, you and I, have nothing to do with each other."

"Okay, okay," Qi Zhen nodded slowly, his eyes full of hatred: "Ye Chuxiao, you are doing well, just wait for me."

"I'm waiting." Ye Chuxiao lowered her eyelids and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've been waiting to see when this nightmare about you will wake up completely."

After hearing these words, Eric hugged her shoulders distressedly, and this scene hurt Qi Zhen's eyes even more, and around the pupils, there seemed to be red bloodshots.

He just stared at them for a long time before turning around and leaving. After getting in the car, he drove all the way...

Qi Zhen left, Ye Chuxiao sighed deeply in his heart.Sometimes she really felt that meeting him in this life was a sin, both for her and for him.

"Okay, Chuxiao, let's go upstairs to rest." Eric's hands increased a little bit, and he whispered to comfort her.

After going through this scene, she really felt tired, so she accepted his suggestion to go upstairs and return to her room.

"Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you again." He squatted in front of her and gently held her hand.

"Thank you, Eric," she said quietly.

"You should." He smiled kindly: "You should just sleep, I guess you didn't sleep well last night."

She did not sleep well last night, and kept thinking about Lu Zhengnan.

Thinking of this, she faced Eric in front of her again, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, both grateful and guilty.

"Sleep for a while, and eat something when you get up in the afternoon." He stood up, gently stroked her forehead hair like comforting a child: "I'll go down first, call me if you need anything." Leave and close the door for her.

She was the only one left in the room. She lay down on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. In her mind, the shadows of Lu Zhengnan, Eric, and Qi Zhen flashed alternately.

Finally, a sigh resounded faintly, which seemed to break the loneliness in the room, and seemed to make the room even more lonely...

And that night, another uninvited guest visited the hotel—Sheng Xuan.

When Ye Chuxiao went downstairs to see her, was hugged by her, and called "Sister-in-law Four" with sobs, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

After a long time, her mood eased a little. Ye Chuxiao took her back to her room, and the two of them sat by the bed, speechless for a while.

"Sister-in-law Si, back then...we were sorry for you." Sheng Xuan bit her lip.

Ye Chuxiao knew that she was talking about the divorce. Back then, they all helped Lu Zhengnan hide it from her, and no one told her the truth.

Ye Chuxiao sighed softly, and patted the back of Sheng Xuan's hand: "It's all over."

After hearing what she said, Sheng Xuan was relieved at first, but then her eyes became gloomy again, and asked eagerly: "Sister-in-law Si, are you and this Eric... really together?"

Ye Chuxiao was silent for a while, and asked back, "Did Lu Zhengnan say that?"

Sheng Xuan hesitated for a moment, and gave a low "hmm".

"We're not really together, at least not now." There was a faint wry smile on Ye Chuxiao's lips.

Sheng Xuan was overjoyed: "Then you and fourth brother..."

Ye Chuxiao remained silent.

Sheng Xuan's voice became even lower: "The fourth brother said today that he will return to the ancient city to start a new business."

"Really?" No matter what, Ye Chuxiao felt relieved when he heard the news.

"So, can you wait for fourth brother?" Sheng Xuan leaned over and looked at Ye Chuxiao eagerly.

Ye Chuxiao didn't answer, but just hugged her.

Sheng Xuan just took it as a promise to her, and acted optimistically, insisting on staying and sleeping with her.

Ye Chuxiao was so pestered by her that she had no choice but to agree.

She chattered about what happened here, and asked Ye Chuxiao and Mi Lier about their lives there, but in the end she couldn't hold on anymore, she lost her voice while she was talking, and fell asleep just like that.

Ye Chuxiao has always liked this simple and lively girl, so he covered her with a quilt in a funny way, and lay down to get ready to sleep.But when she closed her eyes, what she said just now echoed in her mind: Can you wait for fourth brother?

Do you want to wait for him?Does he want her to wait?Ye Chuxiao asked herself softly in her heart...

And Lu Zhengnan had already left the ancient city that night and returned to Hangzhou.

After I packed up my things and contacted the landlord to cancel the lease, he came to the company the next day.

"It's not that you have something to do when you go out, why did you come back so soon?" Qin Yue asked him strangely.

Lu Zhengnan paused for a moment before speaking: "I'm going to resign."

Qin Yue was shocked, and the pen between her fingers slipped and fell to the ground.

"Oh..." She pretended to lean over to pick up the pen, but her hands were shaking slightly. When she sat up again, she forced a smile and asked, "Why did you suddenly...resign?"

"Before, I came here because the business in Gucheng failed and the company collapsed, but now..." Lu Zhengnan pursed his lower lip tightly: "I plan to go back and reopen the company."

This is the first time that he really told her about the past, but when he left, Qin Yue felt a pang in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and asked: "But, do you have enough money now?"

Lu Zhengnan still didn't want to talk about him and Ye Chuxiao to outsiders, and only answered briefly: "Well, I got a sum of money recently."

Qin Yue had nothing to say, she could only lower her eyelids, the pen in her hand was about to be broken by her.

"Thank you very much for the past two years." Lu Zhengnan said with a smile: "In the future, if you need any help from me, just let me know, and I will go through fire and water."

"You are serious." Qin Yue smiled bitterly.She didn't want any help from him, just... wanted him to stay by her side.

But she couldn't say that.

That night, Lu Zhengnan, who had completed the resignation procedures, invited the whole company to eat and sing.

During the banquet, Qin Yue drank one cup after another, and when she arrived at the KTV, she dominated the microphone and sang one song after another.

Those lingering and sad love songs aroused the sadness in her heart. Taking the opportunity to go to the bathroom, she sat on the toilet seat, buried her face in her palms, and wept softly.

When she finally came out of the cubicle and stood in front of the sink, looking at the weeping face in the mirror, flames slowly rose in her originally dead eyes.

Do you really just give up like this?She is not reconciled.

It was so hard to meet a man who could make her like it for so long. After waiting for so long, maybe she missed him, and she would never meet such a man again. How could she give up so easily?
After washing her face little by little, and putting on a delicate makeup again, she went out with a smile on her face again...

After dealing with the matter here, Lu Zhengnan quickly rushed back to the ancient city to prepare for the rebuilding of the company.

He found Uncle Li and a group of old backbones. When they heard that he was back, they were all excited, and soon gathered around him again.

They are all familiar hands, and with the help of Yu Xingyuan, the progress is quite fast.

And this news also reached Qi Zhen's ears.

"Lu Zhengnan is back?" After hearing Chen Jian's words, Qi Zhen slapped the folder in his hand on the table.

Chen Jian's heart trembled, and he said yes.

"Heh, you are quite courageous." Qi Zhen sneered: "Didn't I clean up enough back then?"

If it wasn't for Shi Man's obstruction at the beginning, Lu Zhengnan should have been completely imprisoned so that he would never stand up again.Now that he was relieved, he actually came back to fight him again.

Recently, things have really been going wrong.

Feeling resentful, Qi Zhen drove straight to Chen Jian to inquire about the address. When he arrived, he saw that the inside had been roughly tidied up, and it looked like a company.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice slowly. Lu Zhengnan, who was talking to Uncle Li in the distance, turned his head.

The moment the four eyes meet, there seems to be sparks in the air, which will explode at the touch of a touch.But Uncle Li couldn't help it anymore, and was about to start scolding, Lu Zhengnan stopped him, walked over alone, and stood still in front of Qi Zhen: "Don't come here all right?"

Qi Zhen smiled "heh" and looked around: "You are a new one, how long can you last?"

"That depends on the third brother's ability." Lu Zhengnan rubbed his chin: "But maybe, there is an old saying that is good, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, if you come to another game, you don't know if you will win. who is it."

"It's very confident." Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows: "But the world today is no longer yours, Lu Zhengnan. It's easy to say, but hard to do."

Lu Zhengnan shrugged his shoulders: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, compared with you now, I am barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. If I lose, I will go bankrupt again. It's not that I haven't tasted that feeling before, it doesn't matter. Win Well, that taste, I'll let you taste it, and I'm also satisfied when I look at it."

"Don't speak too loudly," Qi Zhen snorted disdainfully, "You have to wait and see to know who wins and who loses."

"Then we'll see." Lu Zhengnan put his hands in his trouser pockets, shrugged and smiled.

"Okay." Qi Zhen pointed his index finger towards him, and turned away with cold eyes.

Lu Zhengnan stood straight on the spot, and at the last moment when the elevator door closed, he looked at Qi Zhen with his usual ruffian smile on his lips...
