When Li Yueqi returned home, Lu Banxia had already returned. He had just finished taking a shower. Seeing that his expression was very calm, he said calmly: "You are back."
"Yes." He nodded, took off his suit, tugged on the tie with stiff fingers, unbuttoned the collar, looked at her with dark eyes, and said sincerely: "I was a little late at work tonight, so I sent Miss Lu back home on the way."
Lu Banxia didn't expect that he would take the initiative to explain. The last case that Lu Zijin handled was very successful, and he won very well. He gradually gained status in the firm, and she was Lu Heng's daughter. Many people were selling her out.
Bo Mian has gradually handed over some important cases to her, so it is natural for her to contact Li Yueqi.
"Have you had dinner?" She avoided the topic. Since he explained it, she believed it!
"Ordered takeout in the office." Li Yueqi replied, her voice paused, feeling that the heating at home was not very sufficient, shouldn't she be back for a long time? "Have you eaten?"
"Eat, let's go with Lu Chuan." Lu Banxia sat on the sofa and wiped his hair, not hiding anything from him.
Li Yueqi stiffened and looked up. Her expression was peaceful and calm, and her eyes were lowered, making it difficult to figure out what she was thinking.
"How can I have dinner with him?"
"About Lu Heng." Lu Banxia didn't talk about the issue of property. After all, it was not a glorious thing. Besides, Lu Heng was in good health now. It was too early to discuss this, and she didn't care!
Li Yueqi remained silent and walked to the closet to get his pajamas, "I'm going to take a shower."
Lu Banxia didn't speak. The water on her hair was almost wiped. She put down the towel. She stood up, packed up the clothes he threw on the hanger, took out her mobile phone and wallet and put them on the table. When she was about to get up, her mobile phone suddenly dinged, it was a text message.
Li Yueqi had not set up notifications, and the content of the text message was directly on the screen. Below a string of unfamiliar numbers were sweet words: Thank you for sending me home, good night, good night, good night...
Her body remained stiff for a long time, staring at the short sentence and reading it over and over again, word by word. In the end, she did nothing and continued to pack her things calmly.
-
Lu Zijin sat cross-legged on the bed. After sending the text message, she couldn't help but smile, like a little woman falling in love.
I don't know when there was a tall and straight figure at the door. The evil eyes of the vulture were staring at her with an intimidating aura.
She looked up at him and sneered: "Brother is old and often goes to the wrong room in the middle of the night?"
"It was Li Yueqi who sent you back tonight?!" It was both a question and a statement. When he drove back, he happened to see Li Yueqi's car leaving. The two of them passed each other in their cars. Li Yueqi was on the phone at the time.
He didn't notice Lu Chuan, but Lu Chuan noticed him.
"So what?" Lu Zijin stood up, put his bare feet on the ground, spread a soft carpet, and walked up to him without any chill.
When Lu Chuan looked at her, his eyes were as cold as looking at a corpse.
"Don't think that you are really Miss Lu after entering the Lu family. Compared with Banxia, you will always be just a low-class illegitimate daughter! Even if my father lets you share the things that belong to Banxia, the company is still with me.
In my hands, I will never let you touch the things belonging to Pinellia ternata again!"
The heater in the room was obviously very warm, but Lu Zijin felt cold for no reason. This man was always so ruthless, and would trample his self-esteem like dirt without any shame.
In his eyes, there is always only Lu Banxia, Lu Banxia. People don't take him seriously at all, but he continues to protect Lu Banxia!
"Lu Chuan, I fell in love with you when I was young and ignorant, and I deserved to be hurt by you, I admit it!" Lu Zijin's face was as cold as frost, which was different from the sweetness in front of outsiders. When he became gloomy, he had the aura of Lu Heng, "But I tell you
, Lu Zijin now is not the Lu Zijin back then! The more people you want to protect, the more I want to hurt you. I not only want the Lu family, but also want to take away everything that belongs to Lu Banxia. If you don’t believe it, we’ll see.
!”
"——You!" Lu Chuan stared at her with a sinister look. Before he finished speaking, Yao Yu's voice came from behind: "Lu Chuan, Zi Jin, what's wrong?"
When the two of them saw Yao Yu, they put away their quarrel. Lu Chuan turned around and said to Yao Yu, I'm going back to the room first. He walked away casually without staying for a second.
A trace of suspicion flashed across Yao Yu's eyes, her eyes fell on Lu Zijin, and her voice was cold: "How did I warn you back then!"
In the middle of the night, Lu Zijin was wearing a suspender skirt, and Lu Chuan was standing in front of her door. Yao Yu couldn't help but think too much.
Lu Zijin's face turned pale slightly, he lowered his eyes to cover the dim light, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to do with him..."
She has never forgotten that nightmare. In the cold and dark room, the overwhelming pain tortured her to the point of death. She called, trembling and sobbing uncontrollably, begging him to let her go.
A cold sneer came from the other end of the phone, completely sending her into hell.
From then on, she told herself that no one could hurt herself again.
No one can!
***************The dividing line for young master’s recommendation votes******************
The next day, Li Yueqi didn't have to go to court and was not in a hurry, so he drove Lu Banxia to work because he forgot to pick up a document. He gave Banxia the car key and asked her to wait in the car first while he went back to get the document.
Lu Banxia got into the car, put on her seat belt and found that something was stuck and couldn't be pulled away. She bent down for a while and pulled out an earring, a red diamond earring, which obviously belonged to a woman.
This earring was familiar to Lu Banxia. It was a gift from Lu Heng to Lu Zijing. Last time, Lu Zijing won the lawsuit and invited his family to the Star Picking Hall for dinner. Yue Qi didn’t go, so she showed up and the meal
Halfway through the meal, he was hurriedly summoned back by your Excellency. When he was about to leave, Lu Heng gave Lu Zijing a pair of earrings. She glanced at it subconsciously and remembered it.
The sound of footsteps came from the elevator. Lu Banxia came back to his senses, clutched the earrings tightly in his palms, and was speechless all the way.
Li Yueqi didn't notice anything strange about her, so the car could only take her outside, and then rushed to the office. Lu Banxia stood there and watched the car shadow disappear from his eyes. The earrings in his palms seemed to pierce the skin, causing a sharp pain.
, she came to her senses and turned around to go in when she was suddenly stopped by someone.
Lu Zijin, who was standing not far away, seemed to have been here for a long time. He must have seen Li Yueqi sending him to work just now.
Lu Zijin, a slender figure with a sweet appearance and a sweet appearance, walked towards Lu Banxia with a smile and greeted her warmly: "Good morning, sister."
Lu Banxia didn't say a word, but secretly tightened the strength on her fingertips. She didn't believe that Lu Zijin came here early in the morning with nothing to do, and deliberately waited here for a long time, just to say good morning to herself.
Lu Zijin stopped, wearing a pink coat and high heels, standing in front of Lu Banxia with an unknown sense of superiority and confidence: "The relationship between sister and brother-in-law is really good, and it is enviable!"
"Lu Zijin, tell me what you have to say." Lu Banxia said coldly, her delicate face covered with frost, "You should know that I don't have time to stand here and listen to your nonsense!"
Lu Zijin couldn't help but sneered, staring at her with sarcastic eyes, with hatred that could not be concealed in his eyes, "Actually, I have nothing important to do with you! But someone came to me last night to warn me not to have any wishful thinking.
Take away what belongs to you! I didn’t sleep well and couldn’t figure out one thing! What on earth belongs to you? I am Lu Heng’s daughter, but tell me what on earth I took away from you?”
Lu Banxia guessed that Lu Chuan might have said some unpleasant things to Lu Zijin because of Lu Heng's property. She really didn't want to know about such boring things. She didn't want to know.
"If you just want to say this, I have nothing to say to you. I'm very busy and I won't accompany you!" After Lu Banxia finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lu Zijin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lu Banxia to be so calm. He pursed his lips unwillingly and said in a loud voice: "Lu Banxia, I was pregnant with Lu Chuan's child!"
Lu Banxia's steps suddenly stopped and he did not turn around, but his back became obviously stiff.
Lu Zijin's eyes flashed with pride, she took the bait, Lu Banxia, you are finally no longer invulnerable!
"I was pregnant with Lu Chuan's child!" the calm voice said again.
Lu Banxia never looked back, his back was turned to her, his back was very straight, a little lonely. He was particularly lonely in the hazy world.
There was a harsh sound, and the tires and the ground made a violent friction sound. The car had not stopped yet. Lu Chuan hurriedly got out of the car, his gloomy eyes wishing to kill Lu Zijin.
"What are you doing here? Come with me..." He received a text message from Lu Zijing twenty minutes ago.
She said: Lu Chuan, if Lu Banxia knew that I was pregnant with your child, do you think she would still be sad because of you?
He thought Lu Zijin was crazy and drove all the way to get here, but he didn't expect that she was actually here and Banxia was also there.
When Lu Zijin saw the panicked Lu Chuan, a poppy-like sinister smile escaped from his eyes. Lu Chuan grabbed her wrist and almost broke her bones, and forcefully took her away.
"Lu Zijin, are you looking for death?"
"Do you think I'm afraid?"
Lu Banxia turned around slowly and looked at them who were arguing calmly with cold eyes. His face was very calm, showing no emotion or anger.
Lu Zijing said: "Lu Chuan, I told her that I was pregnant with your child! You see she is not sad at all. Don't you think you have been ridiculous all these years?"
Lu Chuan was stabbed hard by her words, and looked at Banxia. She was very quiet, not angry, not sad, and did not ask a question. She was indifferent, as if she was an insignificant person even with him.
Lu Zijin looked at her calm expression, his thin lips spread into a smile, and his voice was very soft: "I was pregnant with Lu Chuan's child, when I just turned eighteen! Do you know what he did to me? He found someone to take care of me.
I was tied up in a small clinic and asked to have an abortion... No matter how much I cried and begged, it was of no use..."
Thinking of that dark past, the deepest wound in her heart was torn open and blood surged. How could she not hate it?
Lu Chuan could treat Lu Banxia as his treasure and take care of her, but he abandoned her. She had just turned eighteen and was still a child! She could feel her child flowing out of her body so clearly that she was sober.
With all the pain...
What was Lu Banxia doing at that time?
She is the glamorous eldest daughter of the Lu family, and everyone is proud of her; unlike her who came into this world with the reputation of being an illegitimate daughter, looked at everyone else's faces, got pregnant at the age of eighteen, and had a miscarriage...
…
Why would she do this to herself?
What did she do wrong?
Lu Chuan wanted to strangle Lu Zijin and prevent her from speaking out. He didn't want Banxia to know about her hidden darkness and unbearableness. She had already alienated him, and once she found out, she would never forgive him.
In this life, his feelings are hopeless.
"I know!" Her hair was tied up, and her facial features appeared more upright. One hand was holding a bag and it hurt from the wind, while the other hand was placed in the pocket of the windbreaker, but there was no warmth.
Three words escaped from the lips very calmly, and were carried into their ears by the cold wind.
Both of them were stunned. Lu Chuan stared darkly at her calm expression, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.
No, she can't know!
Lu Zijin was even more surprised, "You already knew this?"
Only she and Lu Chuan knew about this matter back then, and it was impossible for anyone to tell her.
How could she know?
Banxia didn't answer Lu Zijin, looked at Lu Chuan with bright eyes, and asked in a faint voice: "Do you really think I've hated you for so many years because of that incident? You really don't remember when I started to really alienate you?"
After hearing her words, Lu Chuan was like a bolt from the blue. Images flashed through his mind. The hand holding Lu Zijing's wrist suddenly released, "At that time, you already knew?"
The last three words were full of bitterness, and he always thought he had concealed them well.
Back then, Lu Banxia knew that Lu Heng had a woman and an illegitimate daughter. She knew that Lu Chuan had known all this for a long time but had been hiding it from her and her mother. She felt resentful towards Lu Chuan and became a completely different person.
But she and Lu Chuan grew up together after all, and no matter how resentful she was, she couldn't bear to really hate him. Later, she didn't really ignore Lu Chuan, but she had to study hard and really didn't have time to meet or talk to Lu Chuan.
Or go out to dinner.
The two of them got along tepidly like this for several years, until Lu Heng's birthday that year. It was already past nine o'clock when Lu Banxia came back from school. She suddenly remembered Lu Chuan's birthday and went to the mall to choose a gift for him without hesitation.
Because after this birthday, she will study abroad and will not come back often. She will only come back maybe once a year at Christmas.
After she bought the gifts, she called home. The housekeeper said that the young master called back in the evening and said he was working overtime at the company and had not come back. She took the gifts and went to the company to pick him up from get off work.
At that time, Lu Chuan was already a manager and had a separate office. When Ban Xia arrived, the door of the office was open and the lights inside were on. She did not see Lu Chuan, but there was a strange sound coming from the single room that was hidden nearby.
sound.
She had never experienced anything between men and women, and had heard about it more or less. She was struck head-on, and pain swept through her body in an instant. She told herself in her heart that it might not be Lu Chuan, maybe someone else...
I know that this comfort is ridiculous.
This office belongs to Lu Chuan. Who else but him would dare to use his single lounge?
Lu Banxia told herself, don't go and see it, why do you need to see such an unsightly scene! Make yourself even more embarrassed!
However, his footsteps did not obey the orders of reason, and he walked into the door of the lounge step by step...
The light was dim, but enough for her to see everything in the room clearly.
It was the scorching heat of midsummer in the room, and she fell into the ice cellar outside the door. She was holding his birthday gift, standing alone outside the door, like a fool, as ridiculous as she wanted to be.
For a moment, Lu Banxia had an impulsive idea in her mind. She turned on the light and asked if she needed to help them close the door. After all, it was not good for others to see it. She also wanted to slap Lu Chuan. Ask
, a girl who has just turned eighteen is so uncontrollable for you?
She didn't.
Because Lu Chuan had no relationship with her, who had she to question why Lu Chuan did this? She asked, but it only made Lu Zijin even more proud!
She turned around and left quietly, as if nothing had happened. Holding the hard-earned gift tightly in her hands, she walked out of the company and walked alone on the one-way street. There was no one in the silent night.
Her mind went blank, she didn't know where she should go, so she walked forward aimlessly.
Lu Chuan spent an unforgettable night with Lu Zijin on his birthday, and Lu Banxia also spent an unforgettable night.
She walked for a whole* time holding the gift. When the east became white, she gave the gift in her hand to a trash can next to her, and then reached out to stop an empty car.
When she returned home, she was worried about her* mother. When she saw her, she hugged her immediately and couldn't help but shed tears.
Lu Banxia was very calm and said to her calmly: "Mom, I want to go to the United States to study. I will leave on the next flight today!"
Without asking any questions, her mother packed her luggage and called to book a flight. She was originally going to the United States, but now she just moved the time forward.
She doesn't want to stay here, not even for a second longer. Because the oxygen in this city makes her feel dirty!
Lu Banxia suddenly left to study in the United States without letting anyone see him off. Everyone was caught off guard. Lu Chuan even called her desperately. She answered the phone and said coldly: I want to read a book. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do.
After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately!
Lu Chuan dialed a few more times, and she did the same thing again and again. As time went by, he stopped calling her. Lu Banxia would come back every Christmas, arriving on the first day and leaving on the second day. Each time, he would specially choose
Come back when Lu Chuan is away to avoid the possibility of them meeting!
She came back entirely for her mother.
It was the second year after she went to the United States that she learned that Lu Zijin was pregnant with Lu Chuan's child. On Christmas Eve, her mother called her and told her that Lu Heng had proposed divorce. She asked for her opinion. If she agreed, her mother would agree to the divorce.
If Banxia disagrees, she will not sign the divorce agreement.
Lu Banxia didn't say anything on the phone and directly booked a flight back to her home country. After getting off the plane, she called someone at the company and knew that Lu Heng was not in the company and must be with Yao Yu.
She took a taxi to where Yao Yu lived. This was the first time she came to visit Yao Yu and Lu Zijin after knowing about their existence. She wanted to talk to her father!
The car stopped at the door. When she was paying, she heard quarrels outside the car window. The people standing not far away were Lu Zijin and Lu Heng. Lu Zijin's face turned red with anger, and tears fell down.
.
Lu Chuan's face was gloomy, with obvious impatience in his eyes. Finally, he shook off her hand and left quickly.
Lu Zijing cried behind her: Lu Chuan, you killed my child, I hate you! I hate you!
The driver also heard this. He kept shaking his head and lamenting that young people today don’t know how to love themselves. Even the way he looked at Lu Banxia changed...
Lu Banxia pretended not to see his eyes and looked out the car window. Lu Chuan walked in a hurry and drove away without noticing her.
After a while, Lu Zijin wiped away her tears and walked in.
Under the driver's urging, Lu Banxia did not get out of the car. She directly dialed Lu Heng's number and then told the driver an address.
She didn't want to know or care whether Lu Chuan and Lu Zijing were together or had children. Lu Zijing was willing to admit that she didn't care about anything about Lu Chuan. The only thing she cared about was her mother, that's all! -
Lu Chuan never understood why she left in such a hurry back then.
It turns out that she had known about it for a long time, and she had been pretending not to know, pretending to be deaf and mute, and kept silent for so many years!
"Lu Banxia, do you really care about me?" When Lu Chuan asked this question, his heart was bleeding.
If she cared, why could she remain silent for so many years? Why didn't she even give him a chance to question him and let him explain?!
What does his feeling for her after so many years mean?
Seeing the deep pain in Lu Chuan's eyes, Lu Zijin smiled softly, "Lu Chuan, will you feel pain too? Will you feel one-tenth of the pain that I did back then?"
Lu Banxia was silent, looking at him with cold eyes. If she didn't care about him, then what was the whole time she walked alone?
Every minute and second of that *, her heart was bleeding, and the image of Lu Chuan and Lu Zijin entangled together kept echoing in her mind. If it were any woman, she would dare to question and scold Lu Chuan, but she didn't
It was Lu Zijin, but she was left speechless in pain. She could only swallow the blood back into her stomach, escape to the other side of the earth, and rely on time and loneliness to lick the bottomless wounds.
.
"Lu Chuan, I don't want to know, nor am I interested in knowing, the grievances and grievances between you and Lu Zijin." Lu Banxia did not answer his question. When Lu Chuan asked this question, it also meant that he had never really understood each other in these years.
she.
That day, she cried alone until dawn, almost shedding all the tears in her life.
They have pushed her into a desperate situation, and now they want to accuse her of being cold-blooded and ruthless?
"If you want to make a fuss, please go back to Lu's house and close the door, make noise slowly, and make noise slowly; don't do it here. You can afford to lose face, but I can't!"
The calm voice spoke out slowly, which seemed to be the ultimate callousness in Lu Chuan's eyes! The most hurtful thing about Lu Banxia is never her sharp words, but her indifferent attitude, as if she has never had anything to do with you.
A black car drove up on the flat road and stopped in front of her. The window was rolled down. Xing Tian's sharp eyes glanced at Lu Chuan, who had an ugly face, and Lu Zijing, who was smiling very strangely. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were focused again.
Looking at Lu Banxia: "Secretary-General Lu, you are about to arrive at the Presidential Palace, why don't you go in?"
