Wang Zhangzhu lay on Chu Huandong's lap. He looked out the window at the mist-shrouded mountains. He couldn't help but secretly sighed. "The mountain roads here are really scary. If the driver is not experienced, the car will easily fall off."
"Nonsense." Chu Huandong scratched her nose. She opened her mouth to bite him. The car window reflected a pair of children playing.
The bodyguard sitting upright next to him was not blind. Naturally, he saw the two of them fighting. Unexpectedly, he caught Chu Huandong's slanting gaze. He quickly closed his eyes tightly. Thinking that he was a bodyguard, there was something wrong with closing his eyes. He was in a hurry and Open your eyes. Turn your head as far as possible. Look out the window.
Wang Zhangzhu became more playful when he saw them like this. He stood up and kissed Chu Huandong's cheek, making a chirping sound.
Chu Huandong knew that she was deliberately trying to cause trouble. He just smiled and rubbed her head lovingly. He didn't want the bodyguards to be too embarrassed, and he didn't want to say anything. He could only lower his head and pretend to look at the map on his knees. .
As the car went up, the mountain road became steeper. The driver drove slowly and cautiously. Chu Huandong listened to Wang Zhangzhu chatting and laughing for a long time. He looked up at her face, which was a little pale. He knew that she was nervous and scared. He put his arms around her. "It's okay. The drivers are all veterans. Make sure you're safe."
After another half an hour, they finally arrived at the temple on the high mountain. From a distance, they saw the unique cornices that seemed to fly into the clouds. The temple was surrounded by a circle of tall trees. Some trees were so thick that two people could not hug each other. It has a long history. As we walked further, we gradually saw the ancient and tall temple in the center.
This temple is much larger than what Wang Zhangzhu imagined. The walls are faintly red and look solemn.
The day they came was not a temple fair. The temple was located on a steep mountain. But there were still many people who came to the temple to offer incense and make wishes. The main hall was filled with incense.
Wang Zhangzhu knew that Chu Huandong did not believe in these gods and ghosts, so he walked into the temple and took a look at the people who were kneeling and praying devoutly in front of the Buddha. He also followed their example and worshiped the Buddha. As she prayed, she scratched her head and couldn't think of a good solution to those problems. She hoped that the Buddha could help her solve them.
Chu Huandong stood behind Wang Zhangzhu. You could see her thin back, fair profile, and gracefully curved neck. She looked like those other people, kneeling down devoutly and mumbling words nervously. Maybe it was because she was too busy. Because he was too thin and too pious, Wang Zhangzhu looked particularly fragile. He felt bitter in his heart. If reality can fulfill people's wishes, who would be willing to place their hopes in empty gods and Buddhas.
Wang Zhangzhu could have been a happy child. She didn't need to place her wishes here. But because of her own willfulness and because of her father's heinous crimes, she became as frightened and helpless as she is now.
Chu Huandong knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not prevent himself and Wang Zhangzhu from being separated in the near future because there was irresolvable hatred between them.
He was staring at Wang Zhangzhu in trance when the phone at his hand rang. He picked it up casually. Listening to Ding Lingyue's suppressed angry voice on the phone, Chu Huandong's heart sank little by little.
Wang Zhangzhu worshiped this Buddha and then that one. He hurriedly worshiped all the gods and Buddhas in the temple. In the end, he was so tired that fine sweat broke out on his forehead and the tip of his nose.
Looking at Wang Zhangzhu, who was kneeling down and worshiping with great earnestness, Chu Huandong had a look of panic in his eyes. He was nailed there like a piece of wood, holding the phone tightly until the hard thing penetrated deeply. The ground hits the palm of your hand.
"Brother Huandong, I kowtowed to all the Buddhas sincerely. Each of them kowtowed three times. I also donated a large sum of money for lamp oil. They will definitely bless us this time." Wang Zhangzhu seemed to have finally Found a solution to the problem. Looking at Chu Huandong with infinite joy.
Her big black and white eyes reflected her own shadow. Her smile was full of hope and extremely touching. There were obvious red marks on her forehead because she kowtowed too sincerely and too hard. It was as red as a bloody knife. .The lingering pain in Chu Huandong's heart was so intense that Chu Huandong subconsciously wanted to escape from this gaze.
He looked up at the Guanyin statue, which always had an expression of compassion. He listened to the ringing of bells that sounded both near and far away from the temple. His heart felt as if it was about to break.
After a long while, he turned his head, carefully wiped away the sweat on Wang Zhangzhu's forehead and the tip of his nose, and kissed her forehead. The mountain wind was a bit strong, and his lips were cold. "My Zhangzhu is the best." Buddha will definitely bless us." He didn't want to be too cruel and immediately woke her up from the sweet dream that was consuming her heart and energy.
When going down the mountain, Wang Zhangzhu was a little tired and fell asleep in Chu Huandong's arms. In her sleep, she had a dream. She dreamed that she and Chu Huandong were playing in the garden with Niuniu. Her father was sitting On the one hand, their family has no grudges or hatred. They live together happily.
Zhang Xiaopeng had been following Chu Huandong for a long time. Looking at Chu Huandong's expression, he felt something was wrong. His mind was far less thoughtful than Ding Lingyue's, but his intuition was keen enough.
He sat in the front row and carefully observed Chu Huandong's expression in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Suddenly, he saw Chu Huandong open his eyes. The dark eyes were gloomy and unpredictable. Looking at him so suddenly, it seemed as if With an overwhelming chill.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly sat up straight and stared at the road ahead. He heard Chu Huandong ask in a very small voice: "Ling Yue called you."
"No." Zhang Xiaopeng was completely aware of the seriousness of the problem. After waiting for a long time, Chu Huandong didn't speak again. He turned his head and was about to ask something. But as soon as he moved his lips, he saw Chu Huandong expressionless. He shook his head and pointed at Wang Zhangzhu, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
Zhang Xiaopeng knew that he should keep his mouth shut at this time. So he turned his head obediently and did not dare to speak out while holding back many questions.
The stop of the car made Wang Zhangzhu wake up from her sweet dream. She opened her eyes drowsily and found that the parking place was not the entrance of the hotel, but the entrance of the airport. Looking at the airport with people coming and going, she felt like she was being stabbed. It felt like a prick. He suddenly sat upright from Chu Huandong's arms and stared blankly at the entrance of the airport.
Chu Huandong felt a twinge in his heart when he saw her like this. He stretched out his hand to touch her back and smiled at her. Although the smile was not much warmer than the sunshine on a cold winter day. "Zhangzhu, something happened in the company." .We need to go back immediately."
There was silence in the spacious car. There was only a faint sound from the air conditioner in the front seat. Wang Zhangzhu's heart palpitated as if she had woken up from a nightmare. After a moment, her expression became slightly calmer. She said in a very soft voice: "Yeah. I understand. .”
After getting on the plane, Wang Zhangzhu looked a little languid. She lowered her head and held Chu Huandong's hand with her hand. Then she let go and then tightened her grip. This unconscious action was repeated for a while.
When Chu Huandong saw her like this, he thought she was hungry. He knew that Wang Zhangzhu didn't like to eat the food on the plane. Just before boarding the plane, he asked his bodyguard to go to a nearby restaurant and order takeout for her.
Wang Zhangzhu was very proud of him. He tried his best to eat a few mouthfuls. Then he complained that he was sleepy. Chu Huandong asked the flight attendant for a thin blanket and helped her adjust the back of the chair. Wang Zhangzhu lay on his side. Next. Leave your back to Chu Huandong. Close your eyes and sleep.
In fact, her mind was spinning with thoughts. She couldn't sleep. But she didn't know what kind of expression she should use to face Chu Huandong. She could only pretend to be sleepy and hide for a while.
Chu Huandong naturally knew that Wang Zhangzhu was pretending to sleep. But he did not expose her. He just stared at her back silently.
After more than three hours of flight, they returned to their city. Wang Zhangzhu was sitting in the car driving home. A face turned quietly out of the window. The bustling scenery receded, but her face Extraordinary indifference.
Chu Huandong sent Wang Zhangzhu home. He went into the house and hugged Niuniu. He didn't even have time to change his clothes before going to the company.
As soon as he entered the company's door, he immediately felt something unusual. Most of the employees acted as if they were immersed in work. In fact, the focus of their eyes was on him. He ignored these people and just took long strides. Go to the conference room.
Song Liangyu already knew what time he would take the flight back. He had summoned all the company's top executives for a meeting. He cunningly arranged the time very tightly. He did not want to give Chu Huandong and Ding Lingyue the opportunity to talk and negotiate alone.
When Chu Huandong sat down, everyone had already arrived. It seemed that they were just waiting for him to appear. Chu Huandong glanced at Ding Lingyue beside him without missing a trace. He only looked tired, without much anger or panic.
Song Liangyu's secretary sent everyone a document. It clearly recorded several huge sums of money that Ding Lingyue had secretly allocated from the company some time ago. At that time, he directed that the destination of the allocation was a subsidiary of Chutian Group. Several overseas branches. But in fact, he allocated all the funds to several mysterious overseas offshore companies. Several branches of Chutian Group had no idea about these things.
Chu Huandong took a sip of tea and looked at the information at hand in silence. Ding Lingyue had been allocating money. He knew it. In fact, the number allocated was several times, even dozens of times, higher than the data in front of him.
Before Song Liangyu came to the company, Ding Lingyue was already running this matter. Chu Huandong turned a blind eye and acquiesced. Later, Song Liangyu came. Chu Huandong thought Ding Lingyue had stopped. He hasn't been in the company often these days. He really hasn't noticed the recent transactions that Ding Lingyue has made.
In the past, Chu Huandong only said that he ordered Ding Lingyue to do this matter, and everything was over. But now he is no longer the only one in the company. He gave half of his net worth to Song Liangyu. Song Liangyu is also the company's major shareholder now. If he holds on to this matter, it will be really difficult.
