Lu Chenxu saw the disbelieving expression on his face and couldn't understand: "Why did I fall in love with Xiaodie and you have this expression? Could it be that you also love her..."
Li Mingcheng waved his hand quickly: "Mr. Lu, please don't get me wrong. My aesthetics are very normal. I have always liked beautiful, gentle and virtuous women. I am not interested in Xiaodie's type."
After finishing speaking, he walked up to Lu Chenxu again with a gossipy face: "Mr. Lu, tell me, when did you start falling in love with Xiaodie?"
Lu Chenxu glared at him: "Have you met Xiaodie's parents?"
Yesterday, Xiaodie said in the car that it was because of her parents that she had the idea of celibacy. He wanted to know what happened between her parents, wanted to know more about her, and wanted to get closer to her heart.
"Her parents?" Li Mingcheng was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, how much do you know about her parents?"
Li Mingcheng thought for a moment: "Xiaodie and I met seven years ago. At that time, she escaped from a small mountain village by herself in the middle of the night. My brother was a special police officer.
, just returned from a mission. At that time, she was very embarrassed, so my brother took her home."
After saying that, Li Mingcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was such a pig-brained person that he almost revealed the fact that Xiaodie had a child. What a risk!
After Lu Chenxu heard this, he didn't say anything for a long time. How could he forget that Xiaodie once said that he was abducted and trafficked to a backward mountainous countryside when he was in college, and he was rescued with great difficulty.
He closed his eyes in pain: "Did Xiaodie be trafficked to a mountainous countryside back then?"
Li Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, she stayed there for more than half a year and suffered inhuman abuse."
He was telling the truth. The first time he met Mo Xiaodie was in the hospital. At that time, her whole body was covered with wounds, especially the wounds on her ankles, which were so deep that the bones were visible.
There were also Zizhong and Ranran, who only breathed their last and had to be rescued in the hospital for more than a month.
At that time, Xiaodie was supporting herself for the sake of her two children.
Later, the child was out of danger. In order to repay the medical expenses paid by her elder brother as soon as possible, she took care of the child, worked part-time, and continued to study on her own.
In those years, she slept no more than four hours a day and spent the rest of the time working hard.
The results she achieved today were all achieved through her hard work.
As for her parents, he only got a rough idea from her intermittent conversations.
Lu Chenxu was silent for a long time, then finally opened his eyes and asked, "If something big happened to her, don't her parents care?"
He finally understood why Xiaodie kept rejecting him and drawing a clear line with him even though she had feelings for him.
What exactly she went through in those six months, he could imagine without asking.
She must be afraid that if she finds out, she will dislike her and abandon her. She is actually a very insecure person.
Li Mingcheng didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued: "Xiaodie's family lives in Jinghua Town, which is the largest Chinese herbal medicine planting base in the country. She rarely mentioned her family, and no one came to see her after the accident.
I heard that her mother died of illness very early, and her father married someone else less than a year after her mother passed away."
"Xiaodie grew up in her grandmother's house. Most old ladies in the countryside favor boys over girls. Xiaodie's life was very difficult since she was a child."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chenxu seriously: "So, Mr. Lu, if you can't treat Xiaodie wholeheartedly and can't guarantee that you will only love her in this life, then please stay away from her. Her
She has already experienced too much suffering in the first half of her life, and as her friend, I, Li Mingcheng, don’t want to see her get hurt again.”
Lu Chenxu didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and then said after a long time: "Xiaodie is lucky to have a friend like you."
Li Mingcheng asked uncertainly: "What is Mr. Lu going to do next?"
Lu Chenxu pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said firmly: "No matter what she has experienced, from now on, as long as I, Lu Chenxu, are here, she will not be hurt again. In this life, I, Lu Chenxu, have identified her."
His firm tone and expression won Li Mingcheng's admiration, and Li Mingcheng patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Lu, good job. I, Li Mingcheng, admire you. If you need me to help you, just ask."
"I want to know what happened to Xiaodie yesterday. Her mood has been very low since yesterday."
"This-" Li Mingcheng was stunned.
What should he say? Although Lu Chenxu has already stated that Xiaodie is the only one in this life, he doesn't know what Xiaodie's attitude is towards Lu Chenxu now.
If he said the wrong thing, given Mo Xiaodie's character, he would have to be killed.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Lu Chenxu frowned: "Why, can't you say it?"
"No -" Li Mingcheng's mind was spinning rapidly, trying desperately to think of excuses.
"Well, it's like this, Mr. Lu, yesterday the police captured a criminal gang that abducted women and children. The trafficker who abducted Xiaodie was arrested. Xiaodie went to the police station, so - it's normal for her to be depressed.
I hope Mr. Lu can understand her." Li Mingcheng kept his head down, not daring to look at Lu Chenxu, fearing that he would find clues.
Lu Chenxu thought thoughtfully: "So that's it!"
No wonder her attitude towards herself has suddenly become very cold since yesterday, and she has been trying to draw a clear line with herself!
She must be very sad and in need of comfort.
Lu Chenxu felt a little regretful at this time. He should have hugged her and comforted her yesterday.
Seeing that he was silent and thoughtful, Li Mingcheng asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, if nothing happens, I'll leave first. There are still a lot of things in my company waiting for me to deal with!"
He must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Lu Chenxu is just a fox. If he says something wrong and lets him see the clues, Mo Xiaodie will have to kill him.
Seeing that Li Mingcheng was about to leave, Lu Chenxu quickly got up and sent him to the door: "Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for clarifying Lu's doubts today."
The ruthless boss in the business world suddenly said thank you to him. Li Mingcheng felt a little uncomfortable and quickly apologized: "It's just a small matter. Mr. Lu, please stay."
After walking out of Lu's building, he took a long breath and touched his forehead, and a layer of cold sweat broke out.
After sitting in the car, he dialed Mo Xiaodie's phone number.
"Li Mingcheng, what's the matter?" Mo Xiaodie's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Um, are you free today?"
"I'm buying groceries in the supermarket! I've already called my sister-in-law and asked her to bring Zizhong and Ranran back at noon. I miss them and want to go back and see them."
"It just so happens that I have something to tell you. I can't explain it clearly on the phone. Let's meet in person to discuss it in detail!"
"Okay, I'll be home soon." On the other end of the phone, Mo Xiaodie's voice no longer sounded so depressed.
