Jiang Ruo felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

In the winter, it was already completely dark at six o'clock in the evening, Aunt Wu was busy with dinner, and in the interval before eating, Jiang Ruo calculated the time difference, and pinched Lu Huaishen's side that should be the lunch point, maybe he was not busy with business, so he called him.

It didn't take long for him to answer the phone: "Jiang Ruo?"

The low and soft voice dispelled part of the gloom in her heart.

Jiang Ruo asked steadily, "Are you busy now?"

She sat on a single couch near the window with the door closed in her room.

Lu Huaishen listened to her tone, and seemed to be in a hurry to ask him, but he didn't say that he was busy or that he was not busy, "What's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, it's also possible that I thought about it too much......" She wanted to speak and stopped, paused for a moment, Lu Huaishen didn't say anything, and then she continued, "My grandfather always doesn't talk to me on the phone, and he has asked Uncle Ming to find excuses to prevaricate me and not let me go to see him, I suspect that something is wrong with him, so I deliberately avoid me." ”

Lu Huaishen thought for a moment and said: "The old man probably doesn't want you to let a pregnant woman come and go on a cold day, and he is rarely idle, and it is normal to want to live a clean life." ”

"Did I think too much......

Lu Huai said calmly: "Otherwise, what do you think he can do? He can hide today, but he can't hide tomorrow, his case has not been resolved, and he can't leave Donglin City during the bail period, how can people be here, and he can still escape?"

Jiang Ruo thought about it like this, and felt that it was such a reason, and he didn't take Lu Huai's words of teasing the old man secretly to heart.

After the grandfather's accident, the two did not officially meet again, and she planned that when the time was almost up, let the two meet, and they couldn't always avoid each other like this. has been with Lu Huaishen for so long, she can feel that he doesn't pay much attention to the things of the year, but the old man still can't let go of Lu Huaishen's vigilance.

Jiang Ruo was afraid of it, it was not as simple as she thought on the surface, and the old man's mouth was like a stitch, trying his best to hide something from her.

Mixed thoughts, fleeting in the mind.

She replied to Lu Huaishen: "Then I'll look for him later." ”

Lu Huaishen let out a "hmm" and said, "Don't think too much, pay attention to your body." ”

Jiang Ruo was about to reply, when a graceful female voice came through the earpiece not very clearly: "Don't talk about the phone, it's cold when you don't come out, you won't have to ...... for a while"

The voice stopped suddenly, as if someone had deliberately stopped him.

Jiang Ruo was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he said, "Are you eating lunch?"

Lu Huaishen simply replied, "Hmm", "There will be work in a while, have you had dinner?"

Jiang Ruo also took the opportunity to end the call: "I'll eat it right away, I just want to tell you about my grandfather." ”

"Well, I know," Lu Huaishen asked patiently, not too eager to hang up the phone, "Is there anything else to tell me?"

Jiang Ruo stopped and said, "Not for the time being, you can eat quickly, I will also have dinner." ”

"Good. ”

Jiang Ruo hung up the phone, stared at the phone, and was stunned for a long time.

Qiao Hui knocked twice on the door and then pushed them away, telling her to finish eating, Jiang Ruo turned around: "Just come." ”

……

After Jiang Ruo hung up the phone, Lu Huaishen also put away the phone, and his eyes swept to the opposite side of the table like a knife indifferently.

The other side was startled, the eyes were fleeting, and then he looked like nothing had happened, and the woman smiled at him, her red lips flowing.

Lu Huaishen lowered his head to cut the food on the plate, his tone sounded polite, but the words he confided were not so polite, "Miss Xu, I like to deal with people who are measured. ”

Xu Siying smiled: "It's just a joke." ”

"My wife doesn't like this kind of joke," Lu Huaishen glanced at her, his face was a kind smile, and his eyes were like frost: "I don't like it either." ”

The corners of Xu Siying's mouth twitched unnaturally, and his smile was reluctant.

Xu Siying was talking about cooperation with Lu Huaishen just now, she had never dealt with him before, and they all said that Lu Huaishen was difficult to handle, and after contact, Xu Siying felt that in addition to being too elusive, he was very polite to others, and he was quick and decisive when talking about things. It is estimated that what others call "difficult" is that it is too difficult to guess what he wants, such as offering generous terms between negotiations, and he is the same kind of indifference, which is easy for people to have self-doubt and lead to bottomlessness.

However, when a phone call came just now, Xu Siying noticed that his attitude was very different before and after he answered the phone. In her eyes, Lu Huaishen, who was before answering the phone, seemed to have passed through the battlefield full of corpses, proud of the crowd, well-dressed and well-dressed, and the sharp and sharp temperament of a businessman was extremely reflected in him. The moment he answered the phone, his face turned slightly to the side, and all the tenderness gathered at that moment.

She immediately realized that he was the only one on the other end of the line.

For the first time, Xu Siying has an objective standard for distinguishing whether a man is sincere to a woman.

Jiang Ji coped with her politely, and dealt with Ming Yu patiently, no matter what, she couldn't escape the word perfunctory. Whether she or Mingyu is not the most important thing in his heart. He wants to profit from her, he wants to get a sense of attachment from Mingyu, all on the premise that he will not give any emotional return. Therefore, every sweet word of Jiang Ji seems hypocritical and deliberate.

And Lu Huaishen is different, even if there are no sweet words, he can clearly realize from his tone and expression that he is different from the woman on the other end of the phone.

She was stunned for a moment, and said a word in a amorous tone, breaking the harmony between the two.

Lu Huaishen almost in the next second, a cold look with ice and frost stabbed at her, and it was also an instant, because Lu Huaishen didn't look at her again.

She also kept her mouth shut.

Xu Siying was still uncomfortable, and she was still uneasy, she asked: "Since you attach so much importance to your wife, if she knows that you cooperate with me, what will she think?"

"I don't think much about it," Lu Huaishen replied calmly, with a warning in his voice, "The company has business dealings, and besides that, you happen to be Jiang Jin's fiancée." ”

Xu Siying raised his eyebrows: "I mean, if she knew that Mingyu's death had something to do with me, and you ......"

Lu Huaishen said: "At that point, everyone should know about it, and the court should give you a summons, haven't you considered the consequences before doing things?"

Xu Siying didn't feel ashamed at all, but snorted coldly and gritted his teeth: "Are you threatening me?"

"No, I just need to remind you what to say and what not to say. You and Jiang Ji and Mingyu's grievances, you solve them yourself, and don't involve my people. Instigating murder, this crime is not serious, but it is not light, for fear of ruining Miss Xu's reputation. ”

Xu Siying sneered: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

Lu Huaishen smiled: "You're polite, just remember it, what about things?"

Xu Siying took out a file bag, "This is part of the backup, and when I see the results, I'll give you another part." ”

Lu Huaishen took the document bag and turned it twice, it was empty, only a USB flash drive was contained, "I'll give you the news after I verify it." ”

Xu Siying crossed his hands against his chin and smiled slightly: "Believe me, no one is more looking forward to seeing Jiang Ji's fate than me." ”

Lu Huai took things away.

"I live at Park Hyatt Mansion, will you come and sit with me later?" asked Xu Siying casually.

Lu Huaishen didn't even look at her, and smiled slowly: "Otherwise, the owner of the newly opened club here is an acquaintance of mine, and I asked him to pick a few tall and well-shaped ones to send you there, and count them on my account." ”

Xu Siying's face turned green.

……

During Lu Huaishen's business trip, he would call Jiang Ruo almost every day to routinely ask her about her three meals a day, because of the time difference, his phone call usually came before Jiang Ruo's nap, his side was in the morning, sometimes it was video, and when he was busy, it was a simple call.

This trip was not delayed for a long time, and the return date was imminent, but Jiang Ruo received an invitation here.

A strange phone call came, and the other party reported to his home, it was Fang Ye.

Jiang Ruo attended her company's listing reception, and Lu Huaishen also told her some about Fang Ye's family history, and she was quite impressed by this legend in the public relations industry.

But I didn't expect her to call herself and invite her to dinner.

Jiang Ruo couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, and wanted to ask clearly: "Is there any activity in your company?"

Jiang Ruo thought that Fang might also want her to attend as Mrs. Lu. After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, if this was the case, Lu Huaishen should be invited by Fang Ye Company, and if Lu Huaishen was not good at shirking, she might be asked to attend on her behalf.

No matter what, it was not Fang Ye's turn to call in person.

As soon as he realized that something was wrong, Fang also said: "It's not a public event, it's a private dinner." ”

That Jiang Ruo was even more puzzled, she and Fang Ye had met twice in total, and other than that, there was no intersection.

Fang is also a simple person, hesitated for only two seconds, and said frankly: "Actually, this time, I want to ask Mrs. Lu for a small favor." ”

Jiang Ruo said: "You talk about it first, if you can help, I will naturally do my best." ”

"To tell you the truth, my eldest son has a girlfriend, who is Jiang Zhouman. Fang also felt a little embarrassed when he said it, it was originally a family matter, but he had to solve it in this way.

This eldest son is not her biological son, because she is not Fan Dongqin's first wife, Fan Dongqin and his ex-wife divorced early, when she married Fan Dongqin, Fan Dongqin's son Fan You has not remembered, so Fan You does not have the natural resistance of ordinary stepsons to stepmothers to her, plus Fang also treats him as his own son, so the relationship between the two is quite close.

But since Fan You and Jiang Zhouman were together, they were rebellious and had a negative IQ, and Fang Ye had already seen through that Jiang Zhouman was not sincere at all, and just wanted to use him, so he discouraged the relationship between the two in every way, and Fan You had trouble with her more than once, and the words were very ugly.

Recently, Fan You is going to take money out again, and the Jiang family is investing in the project, as we all know, the Jiang family is now a crumbling and dangerous building, and this money is very likely to go back without return, she is even more afraid that Fan You will put all his feelings and money into it, and finally find out that Jiang Zhouman's true face will suffer an unprecedented blow.

Fang also had no choice but to find Jiang Ruo.

Jiang Ruo listened to it and understood what Fang Ye meant, she was silent for a moment and asked, "What does Fang always want me to do?" This is Jiang Zhouman's personal feelings, and I really can't interfere. ”

Fang Ye also seemed to have known Jiang Ruo's answer for a long time, and after groaning, he said slowly: "What if the project planned by Jiang Zhouman is related to Bolu?"
