After returning home, Su Jianan applied ice to her face again, but the redness and swelling could not go away immediately.
She sighed in front of the mirror. She had been very unlucky this week - she would be unlucky every time she met someone from the Chen family.
She put on her home clothes and went downstairs to prepare dinner, but found that the chef was already busy. Uncle Xu said: "Young Master told me. Young Madam, you have an injury on your face, just rest."
Su Jian didn't know what to do while she was resting. She ground beans and brewed a pot of coffee. She took it to the study room upstairs and asked Lu Boyan if he wanted to drink it. He was reading documents and pushed his coffee cup directly in front of her.
Su Jianan poured him a glass, then picked up his own glass and looked around Lu Boyan's study.
She has come in several times, but now she realizes that she can see the sunset from here.
Outside the transparent glass window, the golden setting sun exudes a dazzling afterglow. The sunlight is not a large area like at noon, but wisps. It is projected over and spreads a very shallow layer of beating gold in front of the window, shining brightly.
The bookshelf next to it has a darker wood color.
All kinds of books on the bookshelf are carefully classified and neatly placed, and the faint scent of ink wafts out, giving people a vague feeling: no amount of time can be spent here.
"Lu Boyan," she asked, "you said the sunset at the winery is beautiful. Is it as beautiful as your study?"
"It looks better than here." Lu Boyan said, "There is a holiday at the end of the year, so I will take you to taste the newly released wine."
The end of the year? It's July now. Su Jian'an feels that the end of the year seems to be a long time away, but it doesn't seem to be far away.
Just like her marriage to Lu Boyan, sometimes they treated each other with respect, but sometimes they were so ambiguous that she had the illusion that "they are no different from a real couple."
She smiled: "Well, last night, you promised twice, don't break your promise!"
Lu Boyan closed the document and looked at Su Jianan calmly: "Am I like the kind of person who breaks his word?"
Su Jianan curled her lips: "Who knows if you would lie to me and say you would take me to an amusement park? But he disappeared the next day."
Due to various reasons, she had never been to an amusement park before, so she had great expectations for Lu Boyan's promise. But he left suddenly. After that, she didn't want anyone to take her to an amusement park. When she grew up, she
Only then did I realize what I was being stubborn about.
She pretended to be very regretful and sighed: "Among the people I know, I am the only one who has never been to an amusement park. Lu Boyan, it's all your fault!"
Lu Boyan pondered for a moment: "Why don't you let your brother take you there?"
This question hit Su Jian'an's weakness. She coughed: "At that time, my brother was preparing application materials for overseas universities and was so busy that he had to squeeze in time to play with me for a while. My mother was not in good health.
Well, I couldn't stand those entertainment projects. Later... my mother left, and I lost interest in amusement parks and other things."
In fact, she didn't lose interest. She was also moved when she heard others say how much fun it was. But thinking of Lu Boyan's promise, she subconsciously refused to go with others.
She was waiting for Lu Boyan - she had been waiting stubbornly for more than ten years.
"I'll take you there next time I'm on vacation." Lu Boyan's face was calm and calm, but there was a convincing power in his deep voice, "I'm not lying to you this time."
"Keep lying to me and your nose will be as long as Pinocchio!"
Su Jianan left the coffee for Lu Boyan and left the study.
When eating dinner, she discovered that the kitchen had specially cooked porridge for her, probably because it was inconvenient for her to chew. After Lu Boyan finished eating, he said he was going out. Su Jianan subconsciously asked: "It's getting late, do you still want to go?
Where?" She looked like a little wife who complained that her husband left early and came home late.
"Let's go to the company." Lu Boyan raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of evil charm in his casualness, "Of course you want me to stay with you, that's not impossible."
Su Jianan pursed her lips and made a face: "Who wants you to accompany me? You can go wherever you like, I'm going back to the room."
She almost ran upstairs. She was still out of breath when she returned to the room. She walked to the window and saw Lu Boyan getting into Uncle Qian's car.
When Lu Boyan said he could stay with her, she suddenly realized that she actually started to care about Lu Boyan.
Before that, he often went out for no apparent reason and only came back in the middle of the night. She never asked him a question because she was afraid that Lu Boyan would annoy her and that she would cross the line by relying on Mrs. Lu's identity.
In the end, she couldn't help but cross the line, but Lu Boyan... didn't seem to bother her.
It is undeniable that this discovery made Su Jian feel relieved and happy.
In the next few days, Lu Boyan suddenly became very busy. In the morning, he sent Su Jianan to work, but after get off work, Uncle Qian basically picked up Su Jianan. He sometimes didn't come back until after ten o'clock, and sometimes he was even busy until the early morning. Su Jianan came back after falling asleep.
Chen Xuanxuan's mother was detained, but Su Jianan's wound healed within two days, leaving only a very shallow scar. The doctor said it would take another week to fade away.
Although Su Jianan was not as beautiful as Luo Xiaoxi, she still cared about this face. She felt depressed when she thought that she would have to live with this ugly scar for a while.
Lu Boyan came back early that night. As soon as he got home, he found Su Jianan sitting on the sofa glumly and asked her what was wrong. She said with a crying face: "I am disfigured, will you dislike me?"
Lu Boyan rubbed her face: "You are not much better looking than you are now before you were disfigured. Shouldn't I still marry you?"
Su Jianan glared at him angrily: "...Lu Boyan, go away!"
Lu Boyan smiled and handed her a small tube of ointment. The small white tube had French writing on it that she could not understand.
She shook it: "What is this? Is it edible?"
"Find someone to bring it back from France to remove scars for you." Lu Boyan said, "Remember to use it before going to bed. If you stick to it for a few days, you won't have to be disfigured."
"Really?!" Su Jian'an almost jumped up from the sofa and threw herself into Lu Boyan's arms in excitement, "Thank you, brother Boyan."
She kissed Lu Boyan hard on the cheek, then put on her slippers and ran back to the room.
Even just to use this tube of ointment, she had to go to bed early.
After applying the scar removal cream and lying on the bed, Su Jianan remembered that she had kissed Lu Boyan just now.
Hey, it's over, this seems to have become a habit of hers. If she takes advantage of Lu Boyan at every turn in the future, will she be regarded as a female hooligan?
After getting up the next day, Su Jianan couldn't wait to run into the bathroom and look in the mirror. She was sure that it was not her imagination, and the scars on her face were indeed a little lighter. In an instant, her mood became beautiful all day long.
Facts have proved that Lu Boyan did not lie to her. A few days later, the scars on her face have faded to the point where they are almost invisible, and her right hand has completely recovered. The only thing that has not changed is that Lu Boyan is still busy.
She didn't tell Lu Boyan that her right hand was intact, and she still liked to ride in Lu Boyan's car when she went to work in the morning. Otherwise, she would basically only be able to see him during the half hour during breakfast.
Another morning, Su Jianan finally couldn't help but ask: "Lu Boyan, what are you busy with these days?"
Lu Boyan curled his lips: "You'll know tomorrow."
Su Jianan knew that he wouldn't tell him if she pressed him, so she pursed her lips and said, "Tomorrow."
She pushed open the car door, got out, entered the police station, and started another day of work.
What happened in the city in the past few days was just minor fights. She and Jiang Shaokai were mainly responsible for doing some injury assessments. They were relaxed and the atmosphere in the office was not as tense as when a murder occurred.
The pace of work slowed down, and she couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow. Today, Lu Boyan was pretending to be mysterious, and she wanted to know if the matter had anything to do with her.
But when the next day came, everything was as usual, even breakfast was no different.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Boyan signaled that it was time for her to go out. Thinking about it, she suddenly felt embarrassed to keep pretending, otherwise Lu Boyan would have seen through it, so she shook her right hand: "My hand is already healed."
, you can drive yourself to work.”
Lu Boyan paused and handed her her car keys: "Drive carefully."
She nodded and got into her LaCrosse.
After not touching the steering wheel for a while, Su Jianan realized that she was not used to it. She was not a car person. She used to drive just for the convenience of going to work, but now she found that she actually preferred to sit in Lu Boyan's passenger seat to go to work.
Embarrassing, I knew I would have been pretending for a few more days.
When they arrived at the police station, Xiaoying teased Su Jianan: "Huh? Why didn't the president of Lu University give you a gift today?"
"He gave it to me because I injured my hand a few days ago. Now my hand is healed." Su Jianan smiled, "He is not my full-time driver."
"But to be honest -" Xiaoying nudged Su Jian'an with her elbow, "The handsome Mr. Lu really got angry with his beloved wife and completely destroyed the Chen family?"
"Chen, what?" Su Jianan couldn't believe it for a moment, "Collapsed?"
Is this what Lu Boyan said she would know today?
Su Jianan hurriedly turned on the computer to read the financial news. Sure enough, something happened to the Chen family. In other words, they started to have trouble starting from the scandal over the chain restaurant's failure to pass hygiene and disinfection standards. The stock price plummeted in the past few days. Recently, it was strongly acquired by Lu's, and Lu's split
Chen's subsidiaries were auctioned, and Chen's ceased to exist.
But according to the revelations behind the scenes, the Chen family ended up in such a miserable end entirely because they angered the Lu family, and Mrs. Chen is still in detention.
The detention center is reminiscent of the police station. It is well known that Su Jianan works in the police station, so some people speculate that the Chen family did not directly offend the Lu family, but that they touched Su Jianan to anger Lu Boyan.
A mysterious person came out and left a message. It was indeed someone from the Chen family who had touched Su Jianan, but it was not convenient to disclose the specific details.
For a while, there were divergent opinions and the topic became extremely popular on the Internet. No wonder Xiaoying came to gossip with Su Jianan.
"Other people don't know, but we do know - Mrs. Chen and Chen Xuanxuan came to make trouble that day and hurt you." Xiaoying smiled and said, "This is the thing that angered your Mr. Lu, right? You Mr. Lu can't do that.
He's even more handsome! When will such a fantasy plot of violent revenge happen to me?"
Fantasy? Chen's is not a small company. During this period of time, they have dealt with scandals and made up for their mistakes. They would not have fallen to this point. Outsiders can't imagine how much effort and energy it would take for Lu to make a strong acquisition.
Once such a takeover war starts, what fantasy will there be? Although there is no smoke on this battlefield, it will be very bloody, okay?
Su Jianan thought of Lu Boyan's cold eyes on the day she was injured by Mrs. Chen. At that time, she couldn't tell what Lu Boyan was thinking, but now she knows.
