Lu Enxi once again confirmed that even if she and Si Bo Nian could get along happily once or twice, they were still unhappy on the whole. They had a grudge in each other's hearts and wanted to stab each other whenever they found the opportunity.
This is good, as it prevents her from indulging in false tenderness for a long time and accidentally forgetting her original intention.
As the VIP elevator went down, Si Boyian looked at her sullen face and said, "There are many reporters downstairs. You will definitely be photographed if you go out like this."
Lu Enxi said, "I'm not a big star, nor am I an outstanding kid from a rich family. What's the point of filming me?"
Besides, the reporters were focusing on Jia Yanqing and Dai Yutong, why were they filming her?
Si Bo Nian sneered, "You showed off your skills tonight and gained so much recognition that you even dared to strike up a conversation with the president of the Los Angeles Development Bank. The purpose was to re-establish your network, right? You were so bold because you knew in advance that no reporters would be present tonight.
Aren’t you worried about your privacy being seen by others? If a reporter takes a picture of you, publicizes it in a high-profile manner online, and then is fueled by someone who is interested, how can you still stay in Los Angeles?"
Lu Enxi didn't like the embarrassment of being seen through. She said nonchalantly, "It can't stop the fire. Since I dare to come back, I'm mentally prepared."
"What are you preparing for? To die generously?"
Lu Enxi gritted his teeth, "I don't want to die yet."
Si Bo Nian almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "If you don't want to die, you have to learn how to hide your edge and let you watch the wind, but you have successfully turned it into a personal show. Don't you know that you will be the first to win?"
Lu Enxi said, "You have your plans, and I also have mine. I will complete your mission, and the other young masters don't seem to have anything to do with it."
The word "stubborn mouth" was on Si Boyian's lips, but he didn't say it out.
He suspected that Liang Chaoying used the wrong method when helping him treat his mental illness, which made him find it interesting to quarrel with Lu Enxi. He used to hate verbal disputes the most.
The elevator door reaches the underground parking lot.
Before anyone could go out, they suddenly heard a commotion.
"Come out! Come out!!"
Outside the door was a swarm of reporters, disguised as deliverymen, maintenance workers, residents, and business people, squatting in the garage to guard Jia Yanqing.
When the elevator came down, I rushed up like crazy.
That formation looked very much like the zombies in science fiction movies, except they were holding various types of video cameras and recorders, and their expressions were much richer than those of the zombies.
That's probably what winning the lottery is like.
Lu Enxi turned his back as if he was electrocuted and huddled in a corner of the elevator. His legs seemed to have been broken and he was too weak to stand.
Si Boyian reacted in less than a second, closed the half-open elevator door, and the elevator moved upward again.
Turning around and seeing Lu Enxi shivering, he reached out to touch her trembling shoulders, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah! Don't touch me!"
The moment Lu Enxi saw the camera, she suddenly thought of the scene when Lu's family was chased and intercepted by reporters after the company went bankrupt.
Reporters carrying the banner of "justice" rushed into the villa yard wildly, using loudspeakers to shout at the people hiding inside. The French windows were crowded with reporters' faces, and they did not miss any narrow gap to spy on them.
every move.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law closed all the curtains and sealed the house.
Debt collectors and reporters used rotten fruits and vegetables to smash the glass and door, and finally brought bricks and rocks to use. The crackling sound lasted for a long time.
The police drove away a wave of people, but soon they came back again, sometimes shouting outside in the middle of the night, and their curses were so unpleasant that they could not be repeated.
What's more, funeral music and horror movie soundtracks were played around the villa.
This sudden attack and long-term mental bombardment lasted for nearly a month. My mother's spirit was shattered and she suffered from severe depression. She was also frightened into having mental problems.
Once you encounter a similar situation, it feels like you have been pushed into deep water and cannot breathe.
Si Bo Nian frowned and wanted to ask again, then he saw Lu Enxi, who looked like a boneless clay figure, limp and paralyzed on the ground after being soaked by the heavy rain. The woman curled up on the ground, hugging her knees tightly with her hands, her back trembling as if The last remaining support must be torn apart.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Si Bo Nian made a quick decision and hugged her, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Lu Enxi felt cold all over, and her throat was dry and hoarse, "Don't come over, don't come over."
Si Bo said in a young voice, "No one is coming here. It's just you and me here. It's safe."
Lu Enxi couldn't hear what he said, her ears were filled with shouts and insults.
"Repay me my hard-earned money! Get out!"
"If you don't repay your debt... you will die a good death..."
"If you die and go to hell..."
Si Bo Nian held Lu Enxi tightly in his arms. She was shaking violently, her pale face was dripping with cold sweat, and her wet hair was stuck to her forehead, as if it had been washed by water.
Finally, the elevator returned to the top floor again.
Si Bo Nian held her in his arms and strode to the room.
After entering the door, Lu Enxi slipped out of his arms like a rabbit being chased by a hunter, and hid in the corner behind the sofa. She huddled on the carpet like a little quail, her teeth biting up and down out of fear, making a gentle friction sound. .
Seeing her like this, Si Bo Nian guessed that it had something to do with the sudden rush of reporters.
Is it a mental illness?
He didn't dare to act rashly, nor did he dare to go over and scare her, so he had to wait quietly aside.
A few minutes later, Lu Enxi's clenched teeth became quieter and less frequent. Si Baonian walked over with light steps and knelt on the ground with one knee, "Enxi?"
Lu Enxi was confused for a moment, then slowly raised his head, focused his eyes, and saw Si Bo Nian's face clearly, "I'm fine."
It was very difficult for her to say three words.
Si Bo Nian tried to wipe the sweat from her forehead, but was not pushed away, "Would you like some water?"
Lu Enxi scolded herself in her heart, why did she expose her worst side to Si Baonian?
After long-term psychological counseling, she thought everything was fine. Wasn't everything fine? Why is it still like this?
"Um."
Si Boyian put the water glass to her mouth, and Lu Enxi held it with both hands and put it into her mouth.
After she calmed down, Si Bo Nian said, "Are you feeling better? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Lu Enxi shook his head, "Sorry."
Her apology deeply hurt Si Bo Nian.
If this were his wife, his woman would not say sorry, but would hide in his arms and complain and act coquettishly, wiping her tears on his clothes, and pressing her vulnerability on his shoulders.
But an apology was tantamount to clearly drawing a line between them and pushing him far away.
Si Bo Nian's Adam's apple rolled with distress, but he finally endured all his emotions and said, "It's okay."
Lu Enxi struggled to stand up, "Let's go down separately. I'll take the ordinary elevator."
Si Bo Nian took her arm and wanted to say something, but failed. Finally, he took the empty cup from her hand and said, "Give it to me."
"Thank you." Lu Enxi's attitude was very polite.
Si Boyian's lips moved bitterly but said nothing.
The surroundings suddenly became silent, and countless emotions floated in the air.
Finally, Si Bo Nian broke the silence, "Go down later and I'll have someone bring you some clothes. It's easy for reporters to see you dressed like this."
Lu Enxi nodded dullly, "Thank you."
Si Bo Nian almost went crazy hearing this damn thank you again.
