In less than forty minutes, about half an hour, the sound of car engines came from outside the villa.

The little guy who was cooking porridge with Jiang Nian in the kitchen heard it, and immediately rushed out to greet him.

When the little guy ran out, Lu Chengzhou's car just drove in and the car stopped.

"Dad. Seeing Lu Chengzhou who opened the door and got out of the car, the little guy immediately flew over.

"Xiaoqing. Looking at the little guy who flew over, Lu Chengzhou opened his arms and picked him up, but when he picked him up, his body was not controlled, and he stumbled slightly.

However, after only stumbling for a while, he stood firm with Xiaoqing in his arms.

"Dad, what are you doing tonight, why did you come back so late?" was held in Lu Chengzhou's arms, the little guy put a little hand around Lu Chengzhou's neck, looked at him and asked crisply.

Lu Chengzhou kissed the little guy's white and tender face, and replied, "Dad went to see a few important people. ”

"Dad, does it matter if the people you go to see are me and my mother?" looked at Lu Chengzhou with big black eyes, and the little guy asked again.

Lu Chengzhou shook his head, "Of course not, you and your mother are the most important people to me in this world, and no one can compare with you." ”

"Hey....... Mom and Dad are also the most important people in me, and no one can compare to you. "Something to do," the little one grinned.

"Haha....... Yes, what if Xiaoqing has a girl she likes, marries a wife, and has a child?" Lu Chengzhou asked with a hearty smile.

"Well......." Looking at Lu Chengzhou, the little guy raised his brows and thought about it, and then replied affirmatively, "Mom and Dad will always be the most important people I love the most." ”

Not far away, Jiang Nian leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, watching Lu Chengzhou walk in with the child in his arms, and watching the two of them talking and laughing, in this way, she felt satisfied.

Even if it can only be like this, looking at Lu Chengzhou and Xiaoqing, watching the two of them talking, and watching the two of them laugh, Jiang Nian feels that everything in the world is beautiful.

Seeing Jiang Nian, Lu Chengzhou strode over directly with the little guy, and when he walked in front of her, he freed up one hand and clasped the back of Jiang Nian's head, and then lowered his head directly, kissed her eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "Why is it in the kitchen?"

"Dad, Mom and I are making porridge for you. Immediately, the little guy answered crisply.

Jiang Nian smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, Xiaoqing and I are making porridge for you, it's almost ready." ”

"Then I'll accompany Xiaoqing to sleep first, and then come down. Looking at Jiang Nian, Lu Chengzhou's thumb and fingertips gently rubbed Jiang Nian's fair and delicate cheeks with great pity and doting, and said softly.

It's not early, it's more than ten o'clock in the evening, Xiaoqing should go to bed.

"Good. Jiang Nian nodded and agreed in a deep voice.

Lu Chengzhou hooked his lips, smiled gently, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Nian's eyebrows, then withdrew his hand, then hugged Xiaoqing, turned around and went upstairs.

Jiang Nian stood there, watching the figures of their father and son disappear around the corner of the stairs before she turned back to the kitchen.

The porridge should be boiled slowly over low heat, so that it will be better in terms of taste and nutrition.

If she could, Jiang Nian was willing to keep this pot of porridge and boil it until the end of her time.

Lu Chengzhou went upstairs, coaxed Xiaoqing to sleep, said "good night" to him, and then went back to the room to change his clothes before he went downstairs.

Just now, his clothes were somewhat stained with the smell of tobacco and alcohol.

After he went downstairs, Jiang Nian was still in the kitchen, guarding the pot of porridge slowly boiling, the light yellow millet porridge was full of aroma.

I don't know what she's thinking, she just keeps standing there, unmoving.

Lu Chengzhou went over, stretched out his hand and hugged her from behind, and then lowered his head to kiss her side cheek, and asked in a low voice, "How long has this pot of porridge been boiling?" ”

Jiang Nian turned around in his arms and stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin, "From the time you called back to the present." ”

"It's so fragrant, it should be fine. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Nian nodded, "You go and sit, I'll take a bowl of porridge for you." ”

"Xiao Nian. Just as Jiang Nian was about to get the bowl, Lu Chengzhou called her again, hugged her and didn't let go.

"Hmm. Jiang Nian agreed, raised his head, and looked at him fixedly with a pair of bright eyes.

"Are you unhappy?" Looking at Jiang Nian, Lu Chengzhou asked her.

Jiang Nian shook his head and hugged him tightly, "No, husband, let's go back to Calgary, I don't want to stay here any longer." ”

"Okay, then we'll go back tomorrow. ”

"Hmm. ”

..............

The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Nian and Lu Chengzhou left Dongning with Xiaoqing and flew back to Calgary.

In the office building of Wanfeng Group headquarters, at ten o'clock in the morning, just as Zhou Yibai was finishing a small meeting, Xia Yan knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the matter?" Without looking at Xia Yan, Zhou Yibai only stared at the computer screen, tapping his ten fingers on the keyboard like flying, and asked lightly.

"Mr. Zhou, just now a person claiming to be Lu Chengzhou's assistant called and said that his boss Lu Chengzhou has flown back to Canada because he has other arrangements and can't eat with you. Standing in front of Zhou Yibai, looking at him, Xia Yan said respectfully.

- Lu Chengzhou is gone.

Zhou Yibai's eyebrows, who were originally flying like ten fingers, twisted it, and the movements on his hands also stopped.

"Knock ......."

At this time, Zhang Yue also appeared at the door and knocked on the door.

"Come in. ”

With permission, Zhang Yue immediately strode in, and hurriedly reported, "Mr. Zhou, I just got the news that Lu Chengzhou's private plane has indeed taken off and left Dongning, but it's ........"

"But what?" looked at Zhang Yue, and immediately, Zhou Yibai asked.

"But it seems that he came to Dongning with Lu Chengzhou this time, as well as his wife and son. Looking at Zhou Yibai, Zhang Yue reported.

- Mrs. and son.

Zhou Yibai's eyebrows twisted lightly again.

He hadn't heard that Lu Chengzhou got married and had children, but he never deliberately paid attention to Lu Chengzhou's affairs.

"Do you know who his wife is?"

Zhang Yue shook his head, "Lu Chengzhou protects his wife and son very well, and basically no one in the outside world knows who his wife is." ”

"How old is his son?" These things are insignificant, originally, Zhou Yibai shouldn't be concerned, but, inexplicably, he just asked.

Looking at Zhou Yibai, Zhang Yue shook his head again, "I don't know, do you want someone to find out." ”

"Forget it, no need. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yibai shook his head again and ordered lightly, "You all go out." ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhou. Zhang Yue and Xia Yan nodded and respectfully withdrew.

"Assistant Zhang, who is this Lu Chengzhou?" After leaving Zhou Yibai's office, Xia Yan couldn't help but ask Zhang Yue curiously.

"You don't know?!" Zhang Yue was a little surprised.

Xia Yan shook her head, "I haven't heard of it before, and I haven't understood it." ”

"The richest man in China, the big boss behind the big Huayuan Group, has a business all over the world, and in the past few years, his assets have doubled several times. Lowering his voice, Zhang Yue said to Xia Yan.

"The richest man in China. Xia Yan was stunned, "But I've never seen this name on the rich list!"

"You are stupid, the real top rich man disdains to be on the rich list, besides, Huayuan Group is never short of money, there is no need to go public at all, no one can estimate how huge the assets of Huayuan Group are. Looking at Xia Yan's shocked look, Zhang Yue lowered his voice and continued to say to him.

He also knew about Lu Chengzhou because Zhou Yibai wanted to know about Lu Chengzhou, so he knew Lu Chengzhou and Huayuan Group so clearly.

"Then ......." Xia Yan was indeed a little shocked, shocked by her ignorance, and shocked by Lu Chengzhou's wealth, and asked in confusion, "What does Zhou always have to do with this Lu Chengzhou?"

"Well....... looking at Xia Yan, Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows, "I can't tell you, work hard." ”

After the words fell, Zhang Yue strode directly to his office.

Xia Yan looked at the figure of Zhang Yue leaving, playing the words "Lu Chengzhou", the more she thought about it, the more she felt that when she had heard this name mentioned before.

It's just, when did you mention it to her?

..............

"Husband, do you hate the people of the Lu family?"

On the private plane from Dongning to Calgary, Jiang Nian snuggled in Lu Chengzhou's arms, hugged him, opened his mouth low, and asked him this question for the first time.

In the past four years, they have never mentioned a word related to the people and things of the Lu family, Lu Chengzhou has never mentioned it, and Jiang Nian has never mentioned it.

"Hate. ”

Originally, Jiang Nian thought that Lu Chengzhou's answer was "no hate", so when a simple word "hate" blurted out from Lu Chengzhou, Jiang Nian couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

Lu Chengzhou put down the documents in his hand, looked down at Jiang Nian in his arms, raised his hand and put the short hair on her sideburns behind her ears very softly, and continued to say in a low voice, "It was the people of the Lu family who forced my mother to death, how can I not hate." ”

"Then why haven't you retaliated for so many years, and you have never even taken action against the Lu family and the group?" Jiang Nian was stunned and even more puzzled.

Since Lu Chengzhou hated the people of the Lu family, why did he never deal with the Lu family for so many years, let alone mention a word of the Lu family in front of anyone.

Looking at Jiang Nian, Lu Chengzhou raised his lips, smiled, lowered his head to kiss her red lips and said, "Because I want to see the process of the Lu family and the group killing themselves, I want them to know clearly that the Lu family and the group are not lost in anyone's hands, but in their own hands." ”

Looking at him, Jiang Nian nodded, and finally clarified his thoughts, "In the past ten years, the group has indeed been worse than a year, I heard that in recent years, even bank loans have not been repaid, major banks have stopped lending, and some banks have issued a reminder lawyer's letter, so it is estimated that it will not last long before it will declare bankruptcy and collapse." ”

Looking at Jiang Nian, Lu Chengzhou nodded, "Well, what I've been waiting for for the past twenty-two years is this day." ”

"Are you going to buy it after you declare bankruptcy and go bankrupt?" Jiang Nian asked, looking at him.

The tacit understanding of the work in the past four years has allowed Jiang Nian to guess Lu Chengzhou's thoughts with just one glance, and in the past two years, many major decisions have coincided with Jiang Nian and Lu Chengzhou.

The more together they are, the more consistent their thoughts and actions become.

Looking at Jiang Nian in his arms, Lu Chengzhou raised his lips, smiled, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of her delicate nose with great indulgence, and said with appreciation, "Those who know me, Mo Ruo's wife, I am afraid that I am only afraid of ........"

"No, husband, you can wait, you can definitely buy the group in person, and it will be included in one of the assets of our Hua Group. Before Lu Chengzhou's words could be spoken, Jiang Nian immediately spoke and interrupted him, because she knew what he was about to say.

Looking at Jiang Nian, Lu Chengzhou nodded, "Okay, then when the group declares bankruptcy, we will go to Malaysia together and buy it." ”

"Well, let's go together. ”

"Mom and Dad, where you go, I'm going too. AT THIS TIME, THE LITTLE GUY WHO HAD BEEN PLAYING WITH LILIAN NOT FAR AWAY RAN OVER, PLUNGED INTO THE ARMS OF LU CHENGZHOU AND JIANG NIAN, AND ASKED CURIOUSLY WITH BIG BLACK EYES.

Looking at the lovely child in his arms, Lu Chengzhou picked him up, kissed his forehead and said, "Okay, Xiaoqing will also go, and then go shopping with my parents and parents." ”

"Oh, great, I'm going to be with my mom and dad. ”

..............

A year later.

Canada, Calgary.

Although a large amount of financial, material and human resources have been concentrated, the research of new drugs has not been able to catch up with the deterioration of Lu Chengzhou's condition, after five years of fighting against cancer cells, the cancer cells have completely won, completely eroding Lu Chengzhou's internal organs, and any drug has been unable to play any protective role, Lu Chengzhou's body was finally completely crushed, and he had to be admitted to the hospital, relying on the last sky-high drugs and instruments to maintain his life.

In the past year, Jiang Nian has smoked more and more fiercely, but she never smokes in front of Lu Chengzhou, every time she hides in the bathroom to smoke, after smoking, she will wash off the smell of cigarettes on her hands, wash away the tears on her face, and try not to leave any traces.

However, this time, Jiang Nian didn't control it and smoked outside Lu Chengzhou's ward.

A few minutes ago, Lu Chengzhou kicked her and everyone out of the ward, leaving only himself and the attending doctor inside.

Mr. Lu said he wanted to talk to the doctor alone.

Jiang Nian was scared, really scared, scared, although he had known for a long time that this day would come after all, it was just a matter of time.

Although, five years ago, when she knew that Lu Chengzhou was suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer, she was preparing.

Yet, five years, five full years later, she still couldn't get ready, and the closer the time came, the more scared she became.

She knew that this time, Lu Chengzhou was really good, and he was really about to leave her, so she was even more scared, so scared that her hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but tremble.

"Mr. Jiang, the boss has been doing his best to be by your side for five years, this time, he really can't hold on, he is too uncomfortable, you let him go!" Li Hedong stood opposite Jiang Nian, through the thick layers of green and white smoke, looking at her hand that was constantly trembling with a cigarette to his mouth, he reached over, grabbed Jiang Nian's wrist, and said very seriously and sincerely.

Lu Chengzhou was dying in pain, he had seen it again and again, and now, Lu Chengzhou couldn't eat anything at all, he had begun to vomit blood, a large amount of blood was vomited out, and he could only rely on drugs and machines to maintain his life.

Lu Chengzhou is a dignified man, especially in front of Jiang Nian, he is never willing to let her see his painful and embarrassed side, so he understands and believes that in the end, Lu Chengzhou will definitely not be full of all kinds of tubes and live in front of Jiang Nian without dignity and image.

He loves Jiang Nian so much, even if he dies, he will die in front of Jiang Nian with image and dignity.

"Shut up!" trembling, Jiang Nian raised his eyes, looked at the somewhat blurry face of Li Hedong in front of him, and almost roared, "I won't let Chengzhou leave so soon, I won't!"

Looking at Jiang Nian, who was close at hand, Li Hedong held her hand that was shaking with a cigarette, and did not let go, but looked at her deeply, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Jiang, you are selfish, have you really thought about the feelings of the boss?"

"Li Hedong, I'll shut you up!" Looking at Li Hedong, Jiang Nian's steamy eyes stubbornly replied to him and roared again.

This is the first time in five years that she has treated Li Hedong so rudely.

"Mr. Jiang, Mrs., I'll ask you a question. Looking at Jiang Nian, Li Hedong still held her hand, did not let go, and continued in an extremely serious tone, "Do you want the boss to leave this world with peace of mind and happiness without regrets, or do you want the things that the boss has worked hard to hold on to for five years will be destroyed in the end, without dignity and decency, or even leave this world with disgust?"

Standing there, at this moment, the blue and white smoke in front of Jiang Nian had dissipated, and through the shiny liquid in her eyes, she could see Li Hedong in front of her more clearly, and see the firmness on his face and under his eyes.

At this moment, in the face of Li Hedong's questioning, she actually had nothing to say, and she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Yes, she knew, she knew better than anyone else, in the past three months, Lu Chengzhou had done her best every minute of raising her lips and smiling in front of her.

However, Lu Chengzhou is gone, what should she do, what should she do?

No, no!

In the next second, Jiang Nian pulled his hand out of Li Hedong's hand hard, and then, the cigarette from her fingertips was put into her mouth again, and she smoked it fiercely, and as she smoked, big tears kept rolling down, like beads with broken threads.

In the ward, Lu Chengzhou's bed shook at a 45-degree angle, he lay on his back, raised his right hand, and pulled out the needle inserted in his left hand, and at the same time, he also pulled out other tubes.

As Lu Chengzhou's attending doctor, the world's best chief oncologist stood in front of the bed, watching all this Lu Chengzhou, but did not move forward to stop it.

As the chief oncologist, he knows all too well what kind of pain patients will endure when pancreatic cancer progresses to the final stage, and how they will completely lose their dignity to live.

"Mr. Lu, if you really want to take euthanasia, as your attending doctor, I have no objection, but this is just your own insistence that I can't agree yet, and it must be signed by your wife. Looking at Lu Chengzhou, who was already extremely weak on the hospital bed, the doctor expressed his attitude to him.

Over the years, in addition to conservative drug treatment, Lu Chengzhou refused all surgeries and chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments, but he insisted on living for five years, and during these five years, he had a fairly high quality of life, which was already a miracle that they never expected.

Now, if you want the miracle to continue, I'm afraid it's impossible.

Glancing at the doctor, Lu Chengzhou, who was more than one meter and eight meters tall, but was already emaciated and only weighed more than fifty kilograms, exhaled deeply, leaned into the hospital bed weakly, shook his head and said, "It's too difficult for my wife to agree." ”

"If your wife doesn't say yes, there is no way we can euthanize you, although I know very well how difficult the next few days will be. Looking at Lu Chengzhou, the doctor was also very helpless, because this is a clear provision of the law, without the consent of the family, they must not euthanize the patient.

"Okay, I see, I'll talk to my wife. After a moment of silence, Lu Chengzhou bowed lightly and agreed.

After all, he wants to say goodbye to Jiang Nian, although in the past few years, almost every day, he has lived as his last day, and every day has been saying goodbye to Jiang Nian in the most euphemistic way, but after all, this cruel day will still come.

"Then ......." Looking at Lu Chengzhou, the doctor sighed deeply, "I'm waiting for good news from you and your wife." ”

For Lu Chengzhou, it is a good thing to leave with dignity in the end, so it is good news.

"Okay, thank you. ”

"Then I'll go out first. ”

Looking at the doctor, Lu Chengzhou bowed lightly, and then watched him leave.

Outside the door, hearing the sound of the door of the ward being opened, Jiang Nian suddenly looked sideways, and when she saw the doctor coming out, she immediately stepped over, grabbed the doctor's arm, and asked uncontrollably and urgently, "What did my husband tell you?"

Looking at Jiang Nian, who was in tears in front of him and not holding a cigarette between his fingertips, the doctor took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Mrs. Lu, you should ask Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu loves you so much, he will definitely be honest with you." ”

Looking at the doctor in front of him, Jiang Nian couldn't suppress the trembling of his eyebrows, and his two red lips opened, but in the end, he didn't ask anything more, just let go of the doctor's hand and nodded.

"I'm sorry!" Looking at Jiang Nian, the doctor said these two words very solemnly and sincerely, and then raised his leg again and continued to leave.

Jiang Nian nodded, the corners of his lips pulled slightly, and the tears couldn't help but fall like rain.

But in the next second, she tried to stop, and then handed the cigarette butt that was about to burn to the end of her fingertips to Li Hedong on the side.

Li Hedong looked at her and took the cigarette butt in her hand.

"Help me throw it away, thank you!"

After the words fell, Jiang Nian raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and then went to push open the door of the ward.

"Husband. As soon as the door was pushed open and he saw Lu Chengzhou on the hospital bed, Jiang Nian couldn't be more attached to it and strode over.

However, when she walked over and saw that the needle that Lu Chengzhou had originally pricked on the back of her hand and the stomach tube in her nasal cavity had been pulled out at this moment, she immediately rushed over and held Lu Chengzhou's hand, "Husband, who pulled it out for you, I'll call the doctor over." ”

With that, Jiang Nian turned around to call a doctor.

"Xiao Nian!" It's just that Jiang Nian turned around, and Lu Chengzhou grabbed her with his backhand.

"Husband......." looked at Lu Chengzhou, the tears in Jiang Nian's eyes couldn't be controlled, and she began to keep rolling in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let the tears flow.

"Xiao Nian, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, let's go home and pick up Xiao Qing from school, okay?" With all his strength, Lu Chengzhou pulled Jiang Nian's hand, did not let go, and looked at her with a prayer in his eyes that he had never had before.

"Husband,......." Looking at him, Jiang Nian shook his head, tears falling like rain.

Lu Chengzhou looked at her, but he smiled at the corners of his lips, gentle and doting, but he was extremely cruel, "Xiao Nian, I want to go home, I just want to be with you and me and our Xiaoqing, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, I don't want to be for a moment." ”

"No!" Jiang Nian still shook her head, because she knew too well what it would mean for Lu Chengzhou to go home now, so she shook her head, "Husband, I will immediately ask someone to bring Xiaoqing to the hospital, and we will accompany you in the hospital, all the time, never leave, not a single step, okay?"

Lu Chengzhou looked at her and shook his head, "Xiao Nian, I feel uncomfortable staying in the hospital, I just want to go back to our home." ”

"No, husband......."

"Uh-huh.......!" Just when Jiang Nian still shook his head and refused, Lu Chengzhou on the hospital bed suddenly let out a painful snort, and the two straight sword eyebrows were instantly twisted into a ball, and the whole person curled up, and then, with a "vomit", a mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Husband, husband......." Jiang Nian panicked, completely panicked, and screamed in horror, "Doctor, come to the doctor!"

Immediately, a doctor and nurse rushed in to rescue Lu Chengzhou, and someone shouted, "Quick, come, Mr. Lu needs morphine, give Mr. Lu a morphine injection!"

Jiang Nian stood aside, separated from Lu Chengzhou by the doctors and nurses who were in a hurry, she could only stand there, watching black blood keep pouring out from the corners of Lu Chengzhou's mouth, watching him shrink tightly in pain, and his emaciated body was trembling constantly, but apart from watching, she couldn't do anything, she couldn't do anything, she couldn't do anything!

The body, suddenly staggered, Jiang Nian was weak, retreated step by step, and finally, he hit the wall behind him, and then, along the wall, he slipped down little by little, looking at Lu Chengzhou on the hospital bed through the gap between the doctor and the nurse, tears, completely blurred his vision, a heart, little by little, was torn and crushed.

No, no, no.......

This is not what she wants to see, this is not what she wants Lu Chengzhou to bear.

She doesn't want it, she doesn't want Lu Chengzhou to be so painful, she doesn't want the person she loves to be so painful.......

.......
