When Lu Beicen came out of the bedroom after taking a shower and drying her hair, the house was quiet and even the lights were turned off. She thought the two people had gone to bed.
He put a few tea leaves and brewed a cup of tea. Although drinking tea at night was not good, Lu Beicen felt tired all over and needed the aroma of tea to heal him.
I collected the clothes on the balcony. I was on a business trip for such a long time. There were some clothes that I didn’t have time to wash, and some that I always felt were unclean when washed outside. I washed them all yesterday, sat on the sofa, and slowly folded the clothes with the fragrance of the sun.
…
Jiang Zhongze stood at the door leading to the terrace, quietly watching the girl busy leisurely in the living room. The orange light from the floor lamp was very warm. The girl's long black hair scattered covering half of her face. There were strands of hair in the light.
In the sunlight, there was a dim yellow light, and the delicate eyebrows exuded a quiet atmosphere. It seemed like a small painting that was extremely realistic and full of life. He had never seen it before, but it warmed his heart.
Jiang Zhongze looked a little lost in thought. At this moment, he seemed to have to agree with what A Hao said, that she was a kind and clear person.
Lu Beicen finished folding her clothes, turned off the air conditioner in the living room, and opened the window to let some air in. She saw the moonlight outside was perfect, and the intermittent sound of the violin came from nowhere. She added some hot water to the transparent teacup.
, holding the cup, I wanted to sit on the terrace for a while. The scent of gulixiang should be strong now.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the study room, Lu Beicen was startled by the dark figure leaning against the door frame by the terrace door. He almost dropped the cup in his hand. When he turned on the light, he saw clearly that it was Jiang Zhongze. He took a deep breath and said,
God has finally returned to his position.
"Are you scared? Turn off the lights first and look outside in the dark. It's very beautiful." Jiang Zhongze's voice had a hint of hoarseness.
Lu Beicen was obviously not used to chatting calmly and calmly in the light of his study with a man who easily fell into a trance when he saw his face on such a night.
She turned off the light very quietly, paused, held the cup with some regret, and turned around to go back to her room to sleep.
"The flowers on the terrace are blooming, come and smell them? I just watered them all." Jiang Zhongze didn't know why he said this suddenly, but subconsciously, it seemed that he didn't want her to slip away so quietly.
Walk.
"Ah, I couldn't tell that Mr. Jiang can still tend flowers and plants. Thank you very much. I'll go to bed first. Good night." Lu Beicen hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he couldn't stand in such a small space with such a person.
Flower viewing is an interesting thing.
"By the way, Ah Hao went to your friend's place and hasn't come back yet. Why don't you call and ask."
Lu Beicen's mind turned around, thinking of Chen Ke, and shook his head: "He is such an adult, he will have some sense of proportion."
"Is your classmate also a director like you?"
"No, he's a cameraman, but he's a very nice person. Is Mr. Jiang too worried? Hao has just returned to China, so it would be nice to make some new friends."
"Does your TV station earn a lot of money as a camera operator?" Jiang Zhongze asked seemingly casually.
Lu Beicen was a little surprised, but Jiang Zhongze immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just saw that the wine he brought today is not cheap."
Lu Beicen shook his head, a little amused: "Their family runs a chain of photo studios, where they take wedding photos and albums. He is an only child. He doesn't want to go home to help yet, but he also studied photography and videography, and he entered Taiwan after graduation.
Here, in our industry, wages are basically project-based, averaging around 100,000 a year."
"It's less than 10,000 a month? What about you, the director?"
"A little more than them, about 10,000. Of course, we have to complete the task every month."
Lu Beicen paused and then said: "I still write some articles for magazines every month, and the average monthly fee is about 5,000, and I also get some subsidies for business trips, but not much. My mortgage loan is more than 3,000, and other messy things still need to be paid.
It costs about three thousand, so I can support myself well."
"I don't have high material requirements, and I have never thought about getting something for nothing, and I will never fight with Ah Hao. According to my academic qualifications and the school I graduated from, even if I lose my job in the future, I can still find other jobs.
I have to support myself. Okay, Mr. Jiang, if you have anything else to ask, you can ask directly without going around in circles."
"By the way, do I need to explain to you what the down payment for this house and the money for my car consist of?"
A pin drop could be heard in the room. Jiang Zhongze looked at Lu Beicen standing under the light in the living room in astonishment. The expression on her face was neither sad nor happy, but with a little bit of stubbornness. She looked straight at Lu Beicen who was standing in the darkness.
She definitely couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but she seemed to be waiting for an answer.
Jiang Zhongze pursed his lips: "Xiaobei, I don't mean what you think. Besides, these are only small amounts of money, so you don't have to be so sensitive."
"Yes, these are just small amounts of money to you, and you have to ask questions about small amounts of money, not to mention huge assets and huge companies. But for me, these are all I work hard to live. Maybe for you, I live
, or in other words, the existence of me and my mother is original sin."
"But this is a fact that I can't change. Our concession does not mean that we feel guilty. We are just for Ah Hao and for the peace and harmony of the family. You can go to the company and ask how many people know Mrs. Lu. Also, I
When I took the college entrance examination, according to my scores, I could go to the best finance school in University B. To avoid suspicion, I took the initiative to major in Chinese."
"I don't know what the Jiang family wants to do, but there are some limits. Don't probe again and again, and step on them again and again. Ah Hao is already old. He has the ability to distinguish right from wrong and know who is really good to him."
Jiang Zhongze looked at the slightly red eyes of the girl in the light, and felt that something was even more wrong. He walked gently in front of Lu Beicen, and wanted to reach out to pull her, but he felt something was wrong, and he retracted his outstretched hand.
When he came back, he bowed slightly and lowered his head, and said to her as if coaxing a child: "Xiaobei, can you believe me for once? What happened? How could you have such a deep misunderstanding of me and our family?"
Lu Beicen sneered: "Do you know what it means to pretend? Do you still need me to repeat to you what you do?"
"I really don't know what happened."
Lu Beicen sneered and shook his head: "Okay, let me ask you, did your Jiang family send financial and audit personnel to Lu's company? If you want to say this is normal company behavior, then did your Jiang family hire a lawyer?
Are you paying attention to the movements of me and my mother? Why, do you think that being on guard like this is not enough? You, Mr. Jiang, have to personally step in and live in our house, or even buy a house in the same community as me, so that you can observe it at a closer distance?"
