After being decorated, the hotel restaurant, which can accommodate thousands of people dining together, is no different from a banquet hall.
It is said to be a celebration, but it is different from ordinary cocktail parties. According to Lu Zhensheng's consistent philosophy of frugality, it is just a matter of choosing a special day, everyone dressing up, sitting down together to have a delicious dinner, and watching an entertainment program to add to the fun.
In front of the full-length mirror in the hotel room, Lu Zhandong had just straightened his tie when his cell phone rang. Li Qi said on the phone: "Mr. Lu, people have arrived, but..."
"I see."
Lu Zhandong said and hung up the phone before Li Qi finished speaking.
You can already figure out the content after 'but' - 'The person has arrived, but he came with Jiang Lichuan'.
Of course he knew that Jiang Lichuan would come. Today was also his father's sixtieth birthday, and all his old friends would be there, including the Jiang family, and Jiang Lichuan was attending on behalf of Jiang Zheng.
"Have you decided?" Lu Zhensheng asked from the sofa, looking at Lu Zhandong who had already tidied up.
Lu Zhandong did not look back, but replied to Lu Zhensheng in the mirror: "Didn't you expect it a long time ago?"
To be precise, from the moment he treated An Ning so deliberately after their marriage, Lu Zhensheng had already dropped the previous sentence - sooner or later, you will regret it one day.
"I called for you. As for what happens next..."
Lu Zhensheng said, deliberately paused, glanced at Lu Zhandong, smiled slightly, and then said: "The dignified CEO of Hengsheng knelt down to propose marriage and was rejected in public. This is a big news."
Lu Zhandong secretly gritted his teeth and replied: "I have my own sense of discretion and I don't need you to worry about it. If you are afraid of being embarrassed, you can announce in public tonight that you are severing the father-son relationship with me."
The smile on Lu Zhensheng's lips widened again, "Have you done too few embarrassing things?"
Lu Zhandong sneered lightly, and Lu Zhensheng suddenly sighed and said: "You are such a bastard, I don't know who you are like."
Lu Zhandong didn't answer, but looked through the mirror and gave an expression - what do you think?
"My era is different from yours. When I was young, my biggest hobby was casinos."
The implication is that unlike you, I like women.
Lu Zhandong smiled, "If I liked men, you would go crazy."
"Beat him to death with a stick!"
Although he said this, there was no trace of murderousness in Lu Zhensheng's eyes, and there was even a soft smile on the corner of his lips.
Lu Zhandong looked at it, and suddenly a slightly sour feeling surged in his heart. The atmosphere at this time was familiar and yet strange. It seemed that since he went abroad, the relationship between father and son had hardly been as harmonious as it is today. Most of the time, they were at each other's throats.
Maimang.
"In other words, if you were in my era, you might not be able to do the same thing as me. Like father, like son, and the converse is also true." Lu Zhandong came over for a moment.
Interested, he said so.
However, Lu Zhensheng shook his head, "No, I am more grateful than you."
The four words "Grateful" immediately made Lu Zhandong think of something about his parents' past, so he replied: "That's why... you married mom and stayed with her until now, right!"
His grandfather once saved his father's life.
Seeing that Lu Zhensheng did not answer, Lu Zhandong then added: "Ever since I was sensible, I have known one thing. You are not like Mom to you. A marriage based on a sense of responsibility without emotion will end up tormenting each other.
I heard that my mother was quite well-educated before she got married."
But now...it has become unreasonable sometimes.
A sad marriage can completely change a person.
"That's what outsiders think. When I first met your mother, she wasn't that well-educated."
After saying that, Lu Zhensheng smiled and said: "I still believe in love over time. Your mother's character has indeed changed a lot compared to before. Maybe she has gone too far in some things, but to maintain a family is not enough.
not easy."
There seemed to be some meaning in these words. Lu Zhandong instantly thought of the post, but regardless of whether Lu Zhensheng already knew it or not, after hearing these words, Lu Zhandong's heart that had been worried about this matter could be relieved a little.
.
"There was no love in the beginning, and over time, only family affection will emerge." Lu Zhandong replied.
"Isn't this the essence of marriage? Any marriage that lasts will be the same in the end." Lu Zhensheng said.
This is a fact. Lu Zhandong cannot refute it, but he still insists on it in his heart - marriage must begin with love, even if it ends with family love.
"So before mom, you always had someone in your heart?" Lu Zhandong keenly captured this information.
Lu Zhensheng did not deny it, but said: "Young and frivolous, wearing bright clothes and angry horses."
"That person...is An Ning's mother?" Lu Zhandong asked with some difficulty.
Although he has never met An Ning's mother, how can a woman who was born and raised in the countryside without much education compare with his mother?
If it was as he suspected, he would find it difficult to accept it and feel a little aggrieved for his mother.
However, Lu Zhensheng said: "Why do you think so?"
Lu Zhandong was slightly startled, isn't it?
"That's a bad situation. Only someone like your Uncle An can endure it." Lu Zhen said in a loud voice.
"I'm still curious." Curious about that person.
"Of course, if you don't want to say it, that's okay." Lu Zhandong said again.
He was used to it, and he couldn't find an answer to many things that had been piling up in his mind no matter how he asked.
"Actually, it's nothing. To be precise, your mother is more beautiful, but someone who lives in the world, licks blood from her knife, stays in the 'dark' for a long time, is used to the cold, and will still be full of expectations for the sunshine outside. She is like that
People are like sunshine, it’s hard not to be attracted to them.”
Lu Zhandong noticed that his father's expression suddenly became extremely soft when he talked about that 'her', and his voice became relaxed, as if he had traveled from a long, long time ago and was covered with dust.
Under his son's gaze, Lu Zhensheng suddenly realized something. He cleared his throat unnaturally and said, "Don't get me wrong, our time was different from now. After all, she was..."
As he spoke, Lu Zhensheng paused, frowned slightly, and did not continue.
Lu Zhandong didn't pursue this question anymore, and just asked: "Where is she now?"
"I got married a long time ago, and I'm... gone a long time ago."
Although Lu Zhensheng deliberately did not say the word 'death' and instead said 'no more', Lu Zhandong still heard it.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Li Qi's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Lu, it's almost time."
"Let's go!" Lu Zhensheng said, leaning on his cane and standing up from the sofa.
"Wait a minute." Lu Zhandong took out a small heart-shaped red velvet box from the right pocket of his pants and opened it to confirm.
"I was so nervous when I proposed to someone for the first time." Lu Zhensheng looked aside and said.
Lu Zhandong immediately closed the box and put it back, then glanced over it, as if to prove that he was not nervous at all.
But is that really the case?
Everyone knows it.
Lu Zhensheng pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Indeed, it's not the first time you proposed, but the second time you proposed to the same person."
Lu Zhandong glanced over and said, "If you haven't had enough rest, just continue to stay here for a while."
Lu Zhensheng immediately raised his cane as if to hit him, "You bastard!"
The last time I attended an event like this at Hengsheng, no one knew An Ning, and there was no pressure among the employees of Hengsheng. But things are different now, with the development of the Internet, who doesn’t have such a computer? In addition, the original post
The forum I uploaded is a well-known life forum in Tongcheng. It can be said that nearly two-thirds of the people in Tongcheng’s forum have registered on this forum to find jobs, post second-hand goods transactions, complain, and ask for advice.
It contains information on shopping mall discounts, membership card sharing of shopping points, group buying activities, etc.
In addition, after that incident, it was not the first time that An Ning appeared in public, so everything that was going to happen was already expected by her.
What doesn't defeat you will only make you stronger. In fact, since Jiang Lichuan said that publicly last time, there have been several factions on the matter now, and they are not all gung-ho.
They were all facing her alone.
But in order to take the Lu family's face into consideration, An Ning still chose to sit in a corner near the door.
"Are you sure you have to sit in such a remote place from the rostrum all night?" Jiang Lichuan said.
An Ning squinted over and said cheerfully: "This place really doesn't look good to Mr. Jiang. You can move the place yourself instead of giving it away."
"Strictly speaking, I have no friendship with the Lu family."
"Then you are still coming?"
"But it doesn't hurt to come."
peaceful:"……"
"Jiang Lichuan, do you sometimes feel tired? You alone say whether it's good or bad, right or wrong."
"There is a saying that the economic base determines the superstructure. I think it is very well said."
"Is what Marx said good?" After An Ning finished speaking, she felt something was wrong. "You mean whoever makes more money among us can have the right to decide?"
"This application is not appropriate here."
It's a gentle tactic again! Just when An Ning was about to ask, 'Where is the appropriate place?', she raised her eyes and saw some commotion not far ahead, because the protagonist of this celebration, Lu Zhensheng, was walking in this direction.
An Ning immediately lowered her head. She thought Lu Zhensheng was just going to the door to greet some important guests, but she didn't know that the noise in her ears would get louder and louder, and Jiang Lichuan's body next to him exuded a strong and cold aura, accompanied by
An Ning unconsciously became more nervous.
Before An Ning came, she only expected that there would be strange looks here, but since Lu Zhensheng called her personally and repeatedly asked her to come, she had to come, but she only planned to try not to cause more trouble to them, so she just sat in the corner.
, if it’s convenient, go and say hello or something. If you don’t get a chance all night, then it’s the same thing when you feel like it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhensheng would suddenly walk in this direction and stand straight in front of her.
