It was late at night, and the empty house made the whole house seem even emptier. A low whisper sounded from a bedroom, and it sounded like someone was talking on the phone in a low voice.
"Mom, I, I want to ask you for help!" On one side of the room, someone was squatting in the corner, under the brown curtains. She moved with difficulty, her lower abdomen was bulging, and it was difficult to move her swollen legs.
"Lulu, what's wrong with you?" The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then whispered: "Wait a minute, I'll find a quieter place!"
Are you quiet? The melodious violin sound coming from the phone is the must-have entertainment for that family before dinner. The quiet place she mentioned is the bathroom. Only hiding in the bathroom can be considered safe, right?
The hope in Jin Lulu's heart turned into a secret sigh. It was impossible. Her mother could not help her. But when she thought of Lu Qianxing who was struggling at this moment, she bit her lip and waited quietly for what her mother called quiet.
place.
"It's okay now, Lulu, you can talk now!" The phone was indeed quiet.
Jin Lulu bit her lip tightly, gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice: "Mom, can you lend me some money? I, I need money very much now!"
"Lulu, you, it's not like you don't know how I can give you money? It's not like you don't know your uncle's temperament, I -" The mother hesitated to speak, and after a while she whispered
"Lulu, listen to my advice, you can abort the child. Your uncle said that he can forget the past things, as long as you abort the child -"
"Then you treat him as a pawn to pave the way for him in the mall, right?" A mocking smile appeared on Jin Lulu's face.
"Lulu, don't say that. It's not easy for us to enter this home. Your uncle doesn't mind it either. Your brother -"
"Don't mention him to me!" Jin Lulu suddenly lost control of her emotions. The hand holding the phone began to tremble, and her tone instantly became cold. "I have never admitted that they are my relatives!"
I only have you, mom!
But you have changed. Ever since you married into that Yan family, you have become timid and weak!
Jin Lulu hung up the phone, but her face was pale. Those dark memories hidden deep in her heart were like fire dragons spurting out in the dark night, opening their ferocious claws towards her. Over the years, as long as she closed her eyes, she could not
When she controls herself, she will remember what happened in the past. Her memory is filled with all kinds of violence and deception. She is like a little beast that has lost its protective power, slowly shrinking back into its own corner after being hurt again and again.
Here, hiding, as long as they don't appear, as long as there is no space for those people to exist, she will know that she is still alive!
There was a restlessness in her belly, and the child's little foot was pressed against her belly, revealing a small sole. Jin Lulu reached out to caress/touch it, with tears on her face but a look of perseverance.
"Baby, everything will pass!"
If you don’t give up on life, you and I won’t give up either!

"In addition to our hospital, the foreign medical equipment of several other affiliated hospitals has stopped operating. The contract for the imported medical equipment that was negotiated some time ago has also been terminated by the other party. There is also the research institute -"
"Stop talking!" Lu's capital chain has been broken. Without a large amount of capital injection, Lu's cannot operate!
Lu Qianxing, who was sitting on the chair, was so haggard that he looked like a different person. When Liu Jing came in and saw Lu Qianxing like this, he almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place. A mustache had appeared on his chin, his face was slightly yellow, and his forehead bones were
They are all bulging out, and a pair of eyes are full of blood. Is this still Lu Qianxing?
"Qianxing, I'm here -" Liu Jing was about to take something from his bag when Feng Jianran, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his foot and leaned against him gently. Liu Jing and Feng Jianran still had some tacit understanding. Seeing that Lu Qianxing had his eyes closed and didn't want to speak, he also
Seeing Feng Jianran's eyes, he let go of his hand and said, "Let's see you!"
Such a big thing happened to the Lu family, and they couldn't do much to help. They could only stand aside and worry!
"Jianran, you just-" Liu Jing followed Feng Jianran closely after coming out of the office.
"Come in and talk!" Feng Jianran opened the door to his office, "Close the door!"
Liu Jing closed the door, "Why did you stop me just now!" 13acv.
Feng Jianran sighed, "Liu Jing, it's better not to spend that money here!"
"You-" Liu Jing glared, what do you mean?
"How big is the Lu family? Once the capital chain is broken, money will be needed everywhere, and your little money can't fill the slightest gap!"
"But it's better than sitting around doing nothing!" Liu Jing took out the check from his bag, put it on the table, and sat on the sofa angrily. Although he agreed with Feng Jianran's words, this
Qi Tianxin asked him to send the money in person, so he had to give it to Lu Qianxing!
"You also know Qianxing's temper. If you give it to him, he may not want it!" Feng Jianran sighed.
"He really wants to save face. He has a really bad temper. I heard he wants to sell everything he can in the house!"
"But no one buys it!"
Liu Jing's face stiffened, "Jian Ran, don't you think it's strange? Master Lu Qian has so many antiques and villas and luxury cars. You can borrow them with any bank mortgage, so why is no bank willing to lend them to you?"
Money? And the interpersonal relationships that the Lu family has managed in the past, why is no one willing to stand up and help the Lu family?"
Feng Jianran smiled lightly, "Have you never heard of the story about a tree falling down and the hozen scattering?"
Liu Jing was dumbfounded. Feng Jianran was right. The Lu family reached its peak when Lu Qianxing's mother controlled the Lu family. But once Lu's father left, Lu's mother fell, and Lu Qianxing stayed abroad for another two years, these relationships were no longer what they were back then.
The whole family is about to collapse, who is still willing to share in this troubled water?
"I heard that the man named Li stepped down! His wife was forced to commit suicide!" Liu Jing changed the topic.
"Yeah!" Feng Jianran responded.
"It's really a dead end. Qianxing is too crazy. As a result, the launch of the Lu family's new drug will be pushed back again!"
Feng Jianran's eyes moved. On a certain matter, Lu Qianxing and that person did have the same idea. They were ruthless and left no room for anything. However, this made people even more worried about Lu's future!

It was late at night, and Jin Lulu was still waiting in the living room for Lu Qianxing to come home late. She had become accustomed to his late return, and sometimes she fell asleep while waiting. In the past, there were servants at the Lu family villa.
Wake her up, but now, they have moved out of the Lu family and moved into this three-bedroom apartment, and there are no servants around. Fortunately, she is not a rich lady. She has to bear the burden every day.
She was cooking for herself with a big belly. Although she felt tired, she was closer to him because of the shrinking space.
He used to live on the third floor and she lived on the first floor, separated by one floor. Now there is an empty room between them, which is very close to her. The house is rented and the decoration is average.
, but it is warm everywhere. This was originally a house for a family of three, and the other party also had a two-year-old child. One of the bedrooms was decorated as a baby's room. This kind of house is full of warmth. Every time I see the baby's room,
The photos made her extremely satisfied!
Her wish is very small, she doesn't need a big house or a luxury car, she just needs him and children, that's enough!
Jin Lulu looked at the baby photos on the wall with a warm smile, but the smile quickly faded away. Will he not come home tonight? He didn't come back last night!
She returned to the sofa, thinking about the meals specially reserved in the kitchen. What she cooked were all his favorite dishes. However, it was almost twelve o'clock now, wouldn't he come back?
Jin Lulu was half-lying on the sofa, with her back leaning against the cushions. As the child reached its later stages, the child moved more frequently, and she was unable to sleep well. She held a baby care guide in her hand and read slowly,
But he looked at the door and listened to the movement outside the door.
She didn't know how long it took, but the sound of the door opening woke her up. She hurriedly sat up, saw clearly the people coming in from the door, and smelled the smell of alcohol that penetrated into the air outside the door.
The man who came in was wearing a shirt and slacks and was lying motionless in the entrance hall. She called out and wanted to go over to help him, but she was stunned when he raised his face and looked at her. His red eyes were stained by wine.
His face turned dark red, and because of her approach, his whole body became wary. Jin Lulu hurriedly took a step back, and said cowardly: "I'll make you sobering tea!" After that, she ran to the kitchen,
But Lu Qianxing reached out and grabbed her wrist. She was startled and reflexively covered her belly. She was afraid that he would push her down like last time. In fact, nothing else mattered. She was just afraid of hurting the child.
!
"Don't go, let me stay close for a while!" Lu Qianxing's slightly red face looked drunk, and his eyes became hazy. He supported his body, put one hand on the back of the door, and put the other hand on Jin Lulu's wrist, his fingers tightly
Hold her wrist.
Jin Lulu's expression was slightly startled, but she did not let go. She obediently stretched out her hand to help him back to the bedroom. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she reached out to turn on the light, but Lu Qianxing stopped her.
Warm breath hit my face, and with a drunken voice, I said in a low and hoarse voice: "Don't turn on the light!"
As soon as Lu Qianxing finished speaking, he fell down on the bed. Jin Lulu didn't support him for a moment, staggered, and almost fell down too. Fortunately, she stretched out her hand to support the bedside table and stabilized her body.
"Qianxing, let me pour him some water!" Jin Lulu wanted to pour him a glass of water. He was very drunk. He had been like this these days. She knew that he had nowhere to vent his depression, so he could only drink to relieve his sorrow. She could do that too.
I understand, it’s just that she hates why she can’t help him. What if she had enough money or enough power?
"Don't go, don't go!" Lu Qianxing reached out and grabbed the hem of her skirt, pulling on her tightly while making a sound.
Jin Lulu's heart moved, and she hurriedly sat down, reaching out to grab his hand, "Qianxing, I won't leave, I won't leave, I will stay here with you!"
Her words were like a vow!
In the darkness, Lu Qianxing's laughter came out softly, "Why are you not her? Why is she not you? Why?"
The tears that Jin Lulu was holding back fell out at this moment, Qianxing, why, why?
Why are you still thinking about her?
She cried and broke away from Lu Qianxing's hand, stood up and walked out. She didn't want him to know that every time she heard that name coming out of his mouth, her heart would be broken like glass beads being blown to pieces.
She told herself that time can heal things and make people forget everything. She has been waiting for two years for everything that can be forgotten, but in the end, Qianxing, you are still thinking about her!
"Qingyan, don't go, don't go -"
Jin Lulu walked out of the bedroom. When she heard the voice coming from the bedroom, she suddenly felt heartbroken. She never thought that one person could carve another person deeply into the bone marrow and every nerve in his body. He wanted to
If you forget that person, you will have to reinvent yourself.
In that video that went viral on the Internet, Pei Shaochen admitted in person that "she is my wife." She knew that this incident must have dealt a big blow to him. Although he already knew about the relationship between Gu Qingyan and Pei Shaochen, the relationship was not enough.
So that he could make up his mind to forget, Jin Lulu knew that he would not be willing, so how could he be willing to forget?
Listening to the murmuring sounds that came to his ears from time to time, they were whispers between lovers. The names he would call out when he was drunk, and the deep whispers he would utter, were all for that woman.
Jin Lulu never thought that there would be a woman in this life who would make her so jealous and crazy.

"Ah..." Gu Qingyan, who was making soup, couldn't help but sneeze. The steam from the soup hit her face. She stretched out her hand to cover her nose. Someone next to her handed her a brocade handkerchief. She took it and covered her nose.
, casually said 'thank you'.
Pei Shaochen, who handed her the handkerchief, glanced at her lightly. The word 'thank you' was a very polite word. It turned out that they were already so different!
Pei Shaochen walked around her, stretched out his hand and put the dumplings on the chopping board, then picked up a dumpling wrapper and put it in the palm of his hand.
Gu Qingyan didn't know that Pei Shaochen liked to eat dumplings so much. During the two days after he was discharged from the hospital, he pestered her to make dumplings with leeks, mushrooms and various fillings every day. When she protested, he threatened him on the grounds that he was an injured person, which made her
She didn't know how to make dumplings, but he forced her to make them!
The doorbell rang. Gu Qingyan, who was deep in thought, did not pay attention, but Pei Shaochen had already heard it. As soon as the door opened, the person standing at the door began to look at the person who opened the door suspiciously.
"Pei Shaochen, give me the dumpling wrapper in your hand!" Gu Qingyan shouted in the kitchen. When the people who were about to enter heard the voice, they looked at each other.
The Gu family's parents were not surprised, but the Pei family's couple were surprised to find that these two children were together!
Mother Gu glanced at the place where the shoes were placed in the entrance hall and saw her daughter's shoes, and on the sofa was her daughter's bag.
Mrs. Pei looked at her son. He was dressed in pajamas and slippers and looked casual. He rarely dressed like this at home.
Pei Guangyuan's eyes were unclear, "You never thought of inviting us in to sit down?" He came all the way and was already at the door. This kid still looked like he was awake, which was totally different from his usual image.
Eight thousand miles!
"Pei Shaochen, do you want to eat dumplings yet?" Gu Qingyan came out of the kitchen with a spoon in her hand. She had been out for so long and she didn't respond to her calls. What's going on?
When Lu Qingyan, wearing an apron and holding a spoon in hand, walked out of the kitchen and saw the people in the living room, the spoon in her hand fell to the ground with a clang!
Pei's mother had always kept her fingers clean, but as soon as she walked into the kitchen and saw the mess on the chopping board, she couldn't help but screamed. The kitchen was almost destroyed by cooking. What will she do in the future?
Can he take good care of his son?
"Well, that's good. This lace dumpling has superimposed lines on the edges, just like petals!" Gu's mother stood next to her daughter, setting an example and teaching her carefully. It is said that all the children in the Gu family are like
It's Bao, she never thought about how much she wanted her daughter to learn about these things in the kitchen! It's just that the look in Mrs. Pei's eyes is really irritating.
My daughter didn’t marry to cook for you and be a servant. If she wants to marry a wife who can handle the living room and the kitchen, she can look for her wherever she likes!
"Remember Yanyan, in the kitchen, if you don't work, you have no say!" Gu's mother said with a smile, but Gu Qingyan clearly felt that the smile on her mother's face was directed at Zhong Aixin, who was standing aside with a livid face.
passed on.
Zhong Aixin felt a little frustrated. Yes, she couldn't cook, but that didn't stop her from wanting to find a good wife who could cook for her son and care about his stomach!
"Shaochen, go and see your mother. Your mother almost gave you food poisoning when she was making food for you three when you were little. Don't let her get involved!" Pei Guangyuan, who had set up a chess game, and Gu's father, who had the same hobby, fought against each other.
It was almost time to leave. The two families were meeting today at the invitation of Gu's father. Everyone knew that it was a rare opportunity to enjoy such a relaxing time. Pei Guangyuan's tone also softened a lot, no longer as cold and rigid as before.
Pei Shaochen sat aside, got up and walked towards the kitchen. When he walked to the door of the kitchen, he saw Gu Qingyan looking this way, with a look of help in his eyes. What happened today? Why did they come here together? I wanted to find an opportunity to ask my mother.
Gu Qingyan couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask because Pei Shaochen's mother was present, and her heart was pounding. When she saw Pei Shaochen appearing at the door, she felt as if she had found a savior!
Pei Shaochen shrugged, I don’t know either! Gu Qingyan’s face flashed!
Didn't you call me here?
After dinner, Gu Qingyan was in a state of anxiety. The dinner was a large plate of dumplings and four fried side dishes. Although Mrs. Pei was reluctant in every possible way, she looked at her son and husband sitting at the table and thought
It had been more than half a year since she had dinner with her son. She deliberately sat next to Pei Shaochen's ear and brought him food from time to time.
"These mushrooms taste good!" Pei Guangyuan took a bite and was full of praise. Then he looked at Lu Qingyan, who was sitting next to him, thoughtfully. "I just don't know if I will have this good taste again in the future!" After speaking, he looked at the Gu family again.
Parents, "When should you come to our house as a guest? The best time is at the end of the year. It's a free time at that time! The Pei family has a manor in the suburbs. They grow all the vegetables themselves without using any fertilizer. I will have some sent to your family at the end of the year.
The food sold outside now either contains various fertilizers or pesticides and is not safe to eat!”
Gu Qingyan took a bite of the vegetables in the bowl, and Pei Shaochen, who was next to him, gave her one of the dumplings in the bowl.
Gu Qingyan frowned, her eyes protesting, "I don't want you to pinch me!"
Pei Shaochen's eyes moved, it was too salty and I couldn't eat it!
Just throw it to me if you can't eat it?
Pei Shaochen withdrew his eyes and continued to eat silently. During this period, he threw all the food in his bowl into Gu Qingyan's bowl. Pei's mother who was picking up the food was so excited that she really forgot about her mother after having a wife!
The contest between the two's eyes turned into a passionate affection in everyone's eyes. Even for a meal, Pei Shaochen was willing to personally serve his wife. Mother Gu found that Gu Qingyan ate more than the two meals at home.
Want more! She will eat whatever Pei Shaochen gives her, and she no longer has the bad habit of being picky about food at home!
In fact, how did Gu's mother know that Gu Qingyan was made uncomfortable by the Pei's parents sitting next to her. The Pei's and his wife looked at Gu Qingyan, while the Gu's and his wife focused on Pei Shaochen's performance, making the meal full of mystery.
Pei Guangyuan was the first to put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Gu Qingyan without thinking of avoiding anything, "Qingyan, San'er's temper is not very good, please be more patient in the future!"
Gu Qingyan's eyes widened as she chewed the green vegetable leaves. What is this? No matter how stupid you are, you can still hear some mysteries.
"Uncle Pei!" Gu Qingyan raised her head, looked at the old man's sincere eyes, and moved her mouth. Just as she was about to open her mouth, her bowl sank, and a dumpling wrapped with two pieces of dough and wrapped into a big dumpling fell.
In her bowl was the one made by Pei Shaochen himself.
Pei Shaochen, you--
Gu Qingyan's eyes turned green!
"Eat!" Pei Shaochen said in a low voice, raising his eyebrows. He didn't say anything when eating or sleeping. Don't you know?
Seeing such a tacit understanding between the two children, the estrangement in Pei Guangyuan's heart also disappeared.
"We're all married, we're a family, don't call me uncle anymore, we're all separated, don't you think so, Lao Gu, Mrs. Gu?" Pei Guangyuan laughed, reached out and picked up a bamboo shoot with chopsticks and put it into Zhong Ai's heart.
into the bowl, "Isn't that right, Mrs. Pei?"
The two families were sitting here, and of course they wanted to take the opportunity to settle the matter. They were uneasy because they were always hanging like this. Zhong Aixin looked at the bamboo shoots in the bowl and received the look from her husband. Before coming,
The two of them had agreed that if their son was willing, they would comply with his wishes. After all, it was his son who wanted to marry a wife. If they were not willing, it would arouse their son's rebellious psychology.
Zhong Aixin did not directly answer her husband's words, but looked at Pei Shaochen.
It was already empty. Pei Shaochen put down his bowl and chopsticks. To be honest, after eating this meal, the four of them were the only ones talking and laughing, but they completely ignored the two parties involved.
However, such a relaxing and enjoyable meal was beyond his expectation.
"Mom and Dad, we are already married!" This is a fact, it's just that there is a wedding missing.
