His voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up or been awakened.
It's afternoon now. Is he taking a lunch break?
Realizing that he was thinking about Si Bo Nian's state, Lu Enxi pinched his face and forced his thoughts back to work, "Master Si, is it convenient for me to talk?"
Ten days have passed since the last time he spoke. Even though rumors and news about him are transmitted to her ears by different people in different ways every day, his voice and presence in the receiver placed against her ears still make her feel
The heartbeat is a little out of control.
It was as if the man living in the legend suddenly flew to the real world and appeared to her alone.
There was a rustling sound on Si Bo Nian's side, and after a while he said, "It's convenient, you say."
Then Lu Enxi heard the sound of the door closing. Could it be that he was with someone else?
Dai Yutong?
Lu Enxi pinched his face again. He must be mentally ill. Don't think about that person again. "It's like this, Mr. Si. The trial is over. Our prosecutor refuses to plead guilty. The other party's lawyer insists on inferring innocence. We still need to continue to collect evidence."
Second court hearing.”
It's not hard to imagine a third time.
Si Boyian said calmly, "I understand."
There is no response to what Lu Enxi said with these three words. It stands to reason that the call can end here. The rest are details and fall within the professional scope of lawyers. There is no need to involve the funder.
But the other party didn't seem to be ready to hang up the phone, as if they were waiting for something. Lu Enxi hesitated and said, "I haven't congratulated Mr. Si yet. I wish you all the best sooner or later. Congratulations."
Si Boyian said coldly, "Congratulations for what?"
A very faint response, accompanied by the sound of lighting a lighter and a very light sound of sucking cigarettes.
Lu Enxi rubbed her sore forehead. It was probably dizziness caused by staying up late. She felt very weak and exhausted, "Congratulations to Mr. Si for breaking ground on the project in London. Mr. Si is so efficient in doing things. He finalized such a big project in just a few days."
The project is on the right track smoothly. In addition, I have to congratulate Si Shaohe..."
Si Bo Nian interrupted impatiently, "I'm going to Manchester City for a meeting tomorrow and have half a day to spare. If you really want to congratulate me, just buy me a drink."
"Are you still in England?"
The ground-breaking ceremony ended successfully. With his vigorous and resolute style, shouldn't he fly back on the same day?
"Yes, still there."
There was another period of silence, and Lu Enxi couldn't find a suitable topic, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Putting down his cell phone, Si Boyian's face turned dark, as if a storm was about to come.
For ten days, Lu Enxi didn't say a word to him.
He thought that the hot searches on Weibo and the overwhelming news would arouse her emotions, and at least she would call to ridicule him, or... even just report the work progress indifferently.
Fortunately for her, she gave a brief verbal notification after the trial was over.
Calm like a third party who has completely stripped off personal relationships.
Si Bo Nian took a long drag on his cigarette in frustration. The long and thin tobacco was burned up, and the cigarette butt was thrown into the trash can.
A moment later, his phone rang again.
She thought that Lu Enxi's conscience had found out, so she thought of caring about him. When she saw the number on the screen, her face became darker and darker, "Grandpa."
Si Guanlin was in China, always paying attention to his grandson in the UK, for fear that he would do something wrong, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Serious questioning.
Si Boyian said, "There are some matters in the early stage of the project that I need to handle on site. I will go back in a few days."
He was dubious about Sun Tzu's explanation, "Don't you have any other thoughts? Lu Enxi is in England, and you can't bear to come back?"
Si Boyian said, "It has nothing to do with her, not to mention we are not in the same city."
"Huh! Britain is a small place. The two cities are only three or two hours apart by car. If you want to go, who can stop you? Bo Nian, now your marriage to Dai Yutong is finalized. Your parents are
When we come back in two days, we will make the decision face to face. Just calm down and don't think about anything else."
Si Bo Nian was silent, his cold breath filled with indifference and resistance to this.
"I'm not forcing you to make a decision. This is your own choice. If you want to gain a foothold in the Si family and get the final decision-making power, this is a concession you must make, just like back then."
Si Bo Nian frowned deeply in frustration, "It's different."
"It's no different. Back then, Mr. Lu was behind the scenes, indirectly allowing you to secure your position as CEO. Your uncles and cousins didn't dare to object. Today, Dihua can help you ascend to the highest level.
Position, I can forcefully transfer the largest shareholding to you regardless of other people's criticism, but can you be stable in the future?"
Si Bo Nian said, "I don't need to rely on women to gain a foothold. I didn't before and I won't in the future. Grandpa knows the truth about what happened back then and it has nothing to do with the Lu family."
Putting down his cell phone, Si Boyian opened the door and came out.
Alex smiled and said, "William, have you considered what I said?"
Before answering the phone, Alex suggested that he introduce Lu Enxi to help him with the lawsuit.
In fact, he was not interested in drinking.
Si Bo Nian said, "She's not free."
Alex wrinkled his face, "I'll go to Manchester City and ask her myself!"
——
Si Bo Nian didn't say what time he would come, and Lu Enxi didn't arrange any work for the day, fearing that the bad-tempered donor would use the topic to his advantage.
It wasn't until 10:30 in the morning that Lu Enxi received a strange phone call.
"Hello."
The voice over there was familiar, but it was far beyond her expectation, "Xixi, are you busy? I heard you are in England."
Lu Enxi was shocked, "Uncle?"
Since Lu's bankruptcy, my uncle who originally held a key position in the finance department has also been implicated. After leaving Lu's family, he immigrated to France and has had little contact with him in the past few years.
The uncle was implicated by the Lu family and suffered heavy losses. Later, when his father encountered difficulties, he was too embarrassed to ask him for help. The uncle probably didn't want to get involved in the Lu family's mess anymore. Gradually, everyone tacitly distanced themselves.
Duan Xiaoyun heard his niece's affectionate address and said happily, "Hey, it's been a long time since I heard you add me as uncle. You silly girl, have you forgotten about uncle?"
When she was in Los Angeles, her uncle's family lived not far from hers. When she was a child, she often went to play with her uncle. He liked to keep pets, and he had a lot of cats and dogs. Lu Enxi always had a great time playing with them.
Her aunt is also very kind to her, and good things always come first only to her.
The tip of her nose felt sore, and Lu Enxi was about to cry, "How could that be? I've always missed my uncle. I'm just too busy, and you're so far away, so I can't even see him once."
Duan Xiaoyun coaxed lovingly, "Silly girl, why are you crying? Don't cry. You will look ugly when you cry. No one wants an ugly girl."
Lu Enxi burst into tears and smiled, "Where is uncle? By the way, I am on a business trip in the UK recently. Is uncle free to meet me?"
Britain and France are close to each other, and visas are easy to obtain. Lu Enxi thought that she could visit her uncle.
Duan Xiaoyun said, "I will be in Manchester City these two days. I will give you an address and you can come find me."
Lu Enxi was overjoyed and nodded without hesitation, "Okay! Uncle, wait for me, I'll be there soon."
According to the address given by his uncle, Lu Enxi arrived half an hour later.
It is a coffee shop located near the city hall, an elegant British-style afternoon tea shop. Open the door and enter, holding a string of pleasant wind chimes.
Lu Enxi soon saw the middle-aged man sitting in front of the window.
My uncle is still in good shape as before, and his hair is meticulously combed, except for the dazzling white hair on the top of his head.
Three years of great changes have made my uncle much older.
Lu Enxi walked lightly and walked over, preparing to give her uncle a surprise. As she approached, she overheard her uncle say, "Then change lawyers. No matter what, we can't lose."
