"You want to get resources from me to realize your career as revenge, or even to save the Lu Group. You take what I give you, but you are unwilling to let go of your pitiful dignity. You resist and accept at the same time. Even if I throw the leftovers to the dog
, at least you can watch it wagging its tail to show me kindness, and what about you? Do I give you little? What do you give me in return?"
"If your strength cannot support your ambition, you must learn to tolerate it. Lu Enxi, this is the path you must take. Life is not your wishful thinking. No one will be nice to you for no reason."
Lu Enxi's face was suddenly covered with embarrassment!
She felt embarrassed about being seen through X-rays.
Young Si Bo twitched his lip line and continued, "If you really don't want to rely on me to make a fortune, why should you be controlled by me? It's not that you have no choice, it's that you want to rely on me in your heart."
Lu Enxi wanted to refute and scold him with ten thousand words.
I came back to China to stand up again on my own. I never thought of relying on you in the first place. It was you who asked me to take on KM's case by name. It was your clever design that made Zhang Yuheng sign a liquidated damages of 20 million!
Everything that happened next seemed to be a butterfly effect, far exceeding her expectations and gradually deviating from the track she had expected.
Several times she wanted to completely cut off contact, but every time she turned around, he extended his hook and made an offer she couldn't refuse.
She admitted that in the face of huge interests, she could not withstand the temptation and she wanted to succeed too much.
But God knows how much she doesn't want to be controlled by him.
The car accident was an accident, and she had unshirkable responsibility. The Manchester City case had an extra burden that she was unwilling to refuse.
Si Bo Nian is like a fishing expert who understands human nature... no, he understands her mentality well. He can always take out the bait that attracts her the most, hook her, hang her, and when she takes a step, he will pull the fishing line.
When she wanted to run away, he would put a more tempting bait.
He said he didn't get any feedback, but what about her? She was played in the palm of her hand, five steps back, with no way forward.
She herself felt awkward, wronged, angry, and annoyed.
She thought about whether to use him and please him as Qiao Fei said, but her heart... couldn't make the distinction between Chu, He and Han. This was the man she loved deeply, and her love for him
There is always a withdrawal reaction when it comes to relationships, and she thinks she has completely let go, but in some scenes, her heartbeat is still racing and her imagination is wild.
She was afraid that she would burn herself if she failed to play with fire.
She is an ordinary person, not the goddess of revenge in Hollywood blockbusters, and she does not have such a strong heart.
Her thoughts were turning over and over again, and she thought about too many things, but couldn't think of anything to say. Finally, she slumped down and looked at him, "Si Baonian, do you know what I hate about myself the most? I hate myself the most, and I still do it until now.
I don’t hate you completely.”
——
This night, there were two more insomniacs in the world.
Si Bo Nian stayed up until dawn with his eyes open, watching the morning light tear through the dark night and the sun shining over the city.
[I hate myself the most, and I still can’t completely hate you.]
The painful expression on her face when she said these words was like a branding iron that was deeply rooted in his heart.
Does she actually prefer to break up with him completely? She just hates that she can't do it.
With his thoughts in turmoil, Si Boyian lit the last cigarette in his cigarette case and called Wang Jingchuan.
Wang Jingchuan, whose dream was disturbed, cursed, "As a night owl, can you also be a human being?"
"How can you tell whether a person really loves you? Or whether he still loves you."
Wang Jingchuan was stunned for a while, then scratched his head, "You mean Lu Enxi?"
Si Bo Nian did not deny it, "Is there any way?"
Wang Jingchuan's IQ has not yet come online, so he can barely organize his words, "When you love someone, you first need to care about him, his feelings, and his life. When you have nothing to do, you will also ask for help. Of course, this is a low-end version of love. The other is to be deliberate.
Being distant, unwilling to disturb, and watching from a distance is the most difficult thing for Mud."
When Si Bo entered Lu Enxi in the same year, it didn’t seem to match up, “It’s gone?”
"Let me think about it, my mind is confused, and..." Wang Jingchuan turned over, "Sister Xi... I think it would be wiser for her not to love you. What's the point of loving you? You don't
Your parents don’t want to see her, and your grandfather arranged a blind date for you, hoping that you would get married as soon as possible. Her family’s current situation is more or less due to your contribution. To sum up, cherish life and stay away from others.
Bo Nian. If it were me, even if I still have some love for you in my heart, I would try to stay away from you... Hello? Are you still listening? Damn, I gave up so quickly!"
Si Bo Nian changed into clothes and went downstairs to Building 8.
This time he didn't knock on the door or call, he just pressed the password.
The living room is still the same as yesterday, the hot pot in the restaurant has been cleaned up, and the smell has disappeared.
Did she come back to tidy up last night or did she get up early?
"Lu Enxi?"
Si Boyian went straight to the bedroom, opened the door, and found a room of silence.
There is no one on the bed.
Lu Enxi is not at home.
It's only seven o'clock, where can she go?
Lu Enxi was the first to arrive at the law firm, dug out the information on the Manchester City case, and worked at the desk.
Si Bo Nian exposed her thoughts last night, which was actually a good thing. At least she wouldn't have to deal with him so tiredly in the future.
She will fight the case at hand hard and part ways with Si Bo Nian after winning the case.
Next time, even if Si Bo Nian offers a price of several hundred million, she will not nod.
She swore she could do it!
Lin Shu had a case that was going to trial today, and he came quite early. When he walked in, he saw Lu Enxi carrying coffee, "Lawyer Lu, are you early enough? Are you asking for leave during the day and working overtime at night?"
Lu Enxi was in a bad state and was too lazy to talk to her, "Work makes people happy, so go for it, Lawyer Lin."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the office.
Lin Shu said coldly, "Lawyer Lu is on the KM list. He is so tough when he speaks. It is said that Manchester City's cross-border lawsuits are your private work. Congratulations!"
The so-called private work has actually been rumored to have gone bad in law firms.
What kind of sexy news, hidden rules, internal favoritism.
The stronger the jealousy, the more unpleasant the rumors will be.
Lu Enxi did not come to the law firm yesterday. Zhang Mengyao was busy with her graduation thesis and took leave. She was lagging behind on many news.
"Lawyer Lin also wants to fight cross-border lawsuits? Do you have relevant experience? Have you studied international law? Do you know the British legal system? You must also be able to take on private work."
Lin Shu chuckled, "Compared with professional knowledge, Lawyer Lu's appearance, figure, and skills in dealing with men are even better!"
The rest of the people watched the two people bickering and did not stop them. The first thing they did when they got to work was to watch the two strong women fighting. It was so exciting.
If it hadn't been for Si Boyian's words last night, Lu Enxi would probably have argued with Lin Shu, but at this moment she was very calm, "Lawyer Lin, you have disliked me for a long time. In this case, you can show your real ability to compete."
"
"I'm afraid of you!"
Lu Enxi chuckled, leaving her behind and returned to her seat.
After sitting down, there was a knock on the office, "Lawyer Lu?"
Lu Enxi looked up and saw the little girl at the front desk, "What's the matter?"
The girl at the front desk held out a large bouquet of pink roses from behind, "Lawyer Lu, someone gave you flowers~"
