He Juzheng's appearance successfully made Lu's mother laugh, and Lu's father was also very happy.
He even opened a rare bottle of wine and had a drink with He Juzheng.
In order to facilitate their work, Lu Enci and his wife rented a small apartment and did not come back when they were busy. Unexpectedly, Lu's father was in a good mood when he saw the young and promising junior, and they had a very lively chat at the dinner table.
Seeing that her father and He Juzheng were talking so speculatively, Mother Lu pulled her daughter into the kitchen and whispered, "Xixi, do you really not have a good impression of Juzheng? We all see how good he has been to you in the past two years.
In my eyes, how painful it is!"
Lu Enxi turned on the faucet and took the initiative to clean the sink. She lowered her head to avoid looking at her mother, "Mom, I don't want to think about emotional issues anymore. I just want to raise a happy child and spend more time with you and dad."
"But you are still young, Xixi. Your life is long and it is too hard for you to be alone. Your father and I hope that you will start a family and have someone to rely on."
Lu Enxi smiled cutely, "Mom, can we not talk about this?"
Outside, Lu Yuming got excited and touched He Juzheng's wine glass, lowering his voice and saying, "Juzheng, although Xixi is divorced and has a child, I understand my daughter. Xixi is a good child!"
He Juzheng understood what he meant and looked towards the kitchen. His slightly drunken face showed joy. The joy was mixed with helplessness, "Uncle Lu, I will fight for it, but she can't tolerate others in her heart for the time being."
.”
Lu Yuming patted He Juzheng on the shoulder and said nothing.
After dinner, He Ju played Lego with Happy for a while.
Happy was not very friendly to him, but He Ju was patient and well-mannered and never lost his temper with him, so Happy had no choice but to remain polite.
Lu Enxi looked at the big and small children sitting on the cushions playing Lego, and couldn't help but think, how good a woman can be worthy of such a good man like He Juzheng?
She doesn't deserve it anyway.
Mother Lu looked at it horizontally and vertically, and she liked He Juzheng no matter what, "Hey..."
There was no need to say anything, just a sigh was enough for Lu Enxi to understand a 10,000-word long article.
Sure enough, the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
Later, Lu Enxi saw He Juzheng off.
Lu Enxi said, "I see you hesitate to speak. What do you want to say?"
He Juzheng is really well-educated. He will think twice about anything that makes the other person uncomfortable, and would rather digest it alone than put pressure on others.
It's so gentle that it makes people feel distressed.
He Juzheng stopped, holding the suitcase in one hand and the food brought to him by Mother Lu in the other. He stood on the bleak late autumn roadside, the wind blowing his bangs, revealing his profound eyes.
"Eunxi, should we give it a try?"
He finally said it.
Even though I knew it was just a thin layer of window paper, it was clear even if I didn't pierce it, but after I said it, my heart was still beating wildly with anxiety, as if I was checking my college entrance examination results one minute ago.
Lu Enxi's heart was slightly touched, but the thick emotions quickly returned to silence, "I don't want to get married again, whether it's you or anyone else. Whether it's love or marriage, I've experienced too much and I'm a little tired. If
Marrying just for the sake of getting married is unfair to the other half and will not make you happy. I like my current life very much, taking care of my children, working hard for my career, and accompanying my parents, so I don’t want to form a new family."
He Juzheng smiled and explained to himself, "Fortunately it wasn't those three words, otherwise I might not be in the mood to go back to work."
Those three words are sorry.
Fortunately she didn't say anything.
Lu Enxi couldn't bear to look at his eyes. Those eyes were too dedicated and too clean. She was afraid that if she looked at him too much, she would tarnish him. "Actually, we are not suitable for each other. You also know the situation of my parents. I think
, if they knew your identity, they would not arrange for us to get married. I became a U.S. citizen because I wanted to leave the mainland and start over, so that no one would criticize their past. You have a good family and your identity is too special. Your father is
A respectable elder, I don’t want you to become a burden to the family because of my falling out with him. The He family can gain such a good reputation in Luo City because you cherish feathers very much and are cautious and low-key in everything. Love is only in life.
Don’t lose a small part of your life, especially for a woman like me, it’s not worth it.”
In the face of love, all explanations are synonyms for not loving.
She thought about him between the lines, but she just didn't want to accept another answer from him.
Be gentle in your explanation, and be straightforward in your rejection.
No matter how it is packaged, the tip of the knife is sharp and will not make the wound any less painful.
He Juzheng had been prepared for it, but he was still very sad to hear the answer.
"I understand." He Juzheng smiled gracefully.
The expression on Lu Enxi's face was bitter, "Lao He..."
He Juzheng said, "Don't feel sorry. It's no one's fault whether you like it or not. There's no one I'm sorry for. I'm fine."
At the right time, He Juzheng's phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Send it here. I'll answer the call and take a taxi back later."
Lu Enxi nodded, "Be careful and report to me that you are safe when you get to the hotel. I... am the host after all."
"We can still be friends, just like before. If what I said just now made you unhappy, please forget it."
The tip of Lu Enxi's nose felt sore, "Yeah."
After saying that, he turned around in embarrassment.
He Juzheng opened his phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Boss, Volcano sent an invitation, hoping you would take their case."
He Juzheng looked back at Lu Enxi's back. Such a slender figure should be protected in his arms, instead of facing the rough wind and rain alone and enduring the wild crushing of life.
"That bombing case that KM accused them of?"
"You know?"
"Tell Volcano's vice president that I won't answer."
"Okay boss, where are you boss?"
Where is it?
He was standing on the streets of New York, having just said goodbye to the people he was going to meet on this trip.
In the past, when he came to New York, he would tell Lu Enxi in advance, and today he deliberately hid it from her, just to create a surprise, but he was very happy to meet her at the airport by chance.
Unfortunately, he didn't get to the beginning or the end.
He thought that in the past two years, he had gradually entered Lu Enxi's heart, and even if he could not replace Si Bo Nian's position, he could at least gain a place in it.
But Lu Enxi's apologetic look gave him a fatal blow.
But he was still paranoid about grabbing that little bit of tenderness and was reluctant to quit the game.
He was afraid that he would never meet the person he wanted to love for the rest of his life. He missed Xue Ning and God gave him another chance. If he still missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Even if the door of her heart is still closed, he will be guarding the door. Even if she never opens the door, he can at least be sure that she is safe.
After living for more than thirty years, He Juzheng knew that he was a little stupid and a little stubborn. Only this stubbornness made him realize that his heart would beat hotly, instead of being as gray and gloomy as the years after Xue Ninggang's death.
"I have something to do and will be back in two days."
Putting down his phone, he looked at the food box on the suitcase, and his face felt warm again.
…
Luocheng, Si Boyian's study room.
"Boss, we checked. Miss Lu went to the casino to find a defendant named Nick. She was accompanied by a man named Kevin. We found Nick. He said that someone had privately warned him that he would be in trouble and returned the money.
He arranged several bodyguards, there was a fight in the casino, and Miss Lu was rescued, but these words were all Nick's words, and there was no surveillance or recording."
Si Bo Nian asked, "Where is the person he met?"
The voice on the phone said, "He said he didn't see his face. He was wearing a mask and a hat. We used some tricks to make sure that what he said was true."
"Where is Nick from?"
"In New York, he is being sued for illegal cash-out. The trial will begin next Tuesday. The prosecution lawyer is Ms. Lu."
Nick was just cannon fodder. The masked man found him because he just wanted to meet Lu Enxi privately. Perhaps the rescue was also a carefully planned plot to make Lu Enxi put down her guard and leave a good impression on him.
What is certain is that Lu Enxi has entered this game of chess, and the masked man has locked onto her just like he locked onto her appearance.
Si Bo Nian made a quick decision, "I'll go to New York."
