Chapter 112: Chinese New Year's Eve
Before the Chinese New Year, Lu held an annual meeting.
Lu Zhengshen brought Lin Nuan to attend, she is now the new shareholder of the Lu family, and she is one of the members of the three-person meeting, so it is natural to cooperate with the attendance on such an occasion.
Lin Nuan actually didn't want to, now she doesn't want to go anywhere, and she pins all her thoughts on her two children.
She could stay in the nursery all day without coming out, and by looking at them, she could let go of all her unhappiness.
"Actually, I don't want to go, I won't work in the company anyway, aren't we divorced yet? She would have dressed herself and sat down at the dresser to put on her makeup, but she was still reluctant.
Lu Zhengshen stood at the back, clasped his arms with his hands, leaning against the cabinet, watching her carefully trace her eyebrows in the mirror, and said coldly: "I remember you said before that you will do whatever I want you to do." โ
Lin Nuan glanced at him through the mirror and didn't speak.
It was about the same time, Lin Nuan put on formal clothes and went out with him.
When going downstairs, Tang Ning was chatting with Jiang Wanzhu in the living room, and when she saw them coming down, she turned her head together. Jiang Wanzhu got up and said, "Are you going out?"
Lu Zhengshen nodded, "Today's company's annual meeting." โ
She glanced at Lin Nuan, didn't ask more, and only answered.
Tang Ning kept smiling as they went out.
On the way, Lin Nuan said: "I feel that Miss Tang is a little unhappy. โ
"No, it won't. Lu Zhengshen replied firmly.
Lin Nuan didn't ask much.
Lu's annual meeting was held in the Fusheng Hotel, with two halls, upstairs and downstairs.
Lu Zhengshen put Yao Fusheng in charge of everything.
He chose the right team, and now he is very happy, as if he has fought a turnaround battle, his face is full of light, and even Lin Jingqing is much better. Yao Ziming stopped scolding him now, and became kind to him.
He walks sideways now, and he's awesome.
When they arrived at the hotel, Yao Fusheng and Lin Jingqing came out to greet them in person.
The two got out of the car, and Lin Jingqing came over enthusiastically and grabbed Lin Nuan's hand, "Second sister, you are so beautiful today." โ
Some time ago, she also heard about the Lu family, and also knew about Lin Nuan's return to the Lu family, and got the old man's inheritance, she is now worth hundreds of millions, and it is even more remarkable that she has given birth to two children, and now Lu Zhengshen has taken her to the company's annual meeting.
This status can be imagined.
Lin Nuan only smiled at her, with a detached attitude.
Yao Fusheng reported on the arrangements for today's whole session by Lu Zhengshen's side.
Four people entered the elevator, and the hotel was already fully covered, so there were no other miscellaneous people in the hotel. Lu Zhengshen took Lin Nuan to Lu's venue first, and after taking her into a seat, he introduced the people on the table and left.
Lin Nuan didn't like this kind of occasion, she sat upright, lowered her eyes, took care of herself, someone came to talk, she just smiled, responded politely, and didn't say a word on the side.
Lu Zhengshen came back quickly, and Yao Fusheng was in charge downstairs, so there was no need to worry.
Lu's family, because Lu Baiting was bedridden after a stroke, and other heirs had problems one after another, so only Lu Zhengshen can be qualified for the position of CEO, and his ability is obvious to all, Hongren is running so well, and the shareholders are naturally convinced.
After taking a seat, they began to perform programs and do activities one after another, and the whole venue was quite lively.
Yao Fusheng also invited the popular little flower to come over to help.
These employees are very happy, not only Xiaohua, but also Xiaosheng, male and female employees are well taken care of.
Lin Nuan didn't like this kind of lively scene now, she couldn't sit still for a moment, and in the middle of the meal, she mentioned to Lu Zhengshen that she wanted to go first.
Lu Zheng glanced at her cautiously, "Don't spoil the fun." โ
He looked at her, smiled softly, and before leaning over, he whispered in her ear again, "Don't ruin the fun." โ
Lin Nuan sighed in his heart, didn't say anything more, and continued to sit patiently.
During the banquet, Lu Zhengshen acted very well and took good care of her.
At the end of the dinner, he came to the stage and said something, and everyone began to scan the code to grab the red envelope.
The scene was very lively, and Lu Zhengshen and the others did not sit for a long time.
On the way back, Lin Nuan thought for a while and said, "New Year, can I take my children to spend with them?"
Lu Zhengshen tilted his head, held his forehead with one hand, and glanced over, "What did you say?"
Lin Nuan didn't speak again, his posture was enough to show that her request was gaining an inch.
When she got home, Lin Nuan went upstairs, Jiang Wanzhu rejected her and said, "The two children are asleep, you can also go back to rest, why don't you watch it all the time." โ
"I'll go in and have a look. โ
"Look at how haggard you have been recently, take a good rest first, this child is our Lu family's species, can we still harm them?"
"I don't mean that, I just want to see them, and I go to sleep after one look. โ
Jiang Wanzhu couldn't resist her, but as soon as she went in, Lin Nuan slept directly in it.
I knew it would be like this.
Two days before the Chinese New Year, Lu Zheng rested cautiously and stayed at home all day, resulting in Lin Nuan being unable to take care of the two children in the baby room all the time.
The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, Jiang Ying came back from the United States, and came back from leave to accompany her parents for the New Year.
When she came back, she called Lin Nuan as soon as possible, wanting to ask her to have dinner together, and also sent a request to visit the baby.
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and she didn't want to tell Jiang Ying about those messy things, after all, it had nothing to do with her, and if she said it, it wouldn't make things better.
It's a good thing that Jiang Ying came, she should go on a date, and she went to report to Lu Zhengshen on the same day.
and offered to ask him to arrange for bodyguards to follow her.
She thought about everything she could think of, what else did Lu Zhengshen have to say?
Xu is in a good mood, in short, Lu Zhengshen didn't make it difficult for her.
The next day, Lin Nuan tidied up a little and went out.
The two of them made an appointment in the middle of the street.
Lin Nuan arrived early, Jiang Ying was a bit of a procrastinator, and she was fifteen minutes late and hurried over. The weather was nice today, with the sun, but still cold.
She wore a long black down jacket and wrapped it tightly.
Jiang Ying saw her, didn't make a detour at all, and said, "Why are you so haggard, you feel a few years older, you wealthy ladies are so hard to have a child?"
The woman couldn't hear this, but Lin Nuan was in a different mood now, and she was very happy to see Jiang Ying, no matter what she said. Moreover, after she gave birth, she has been in a bad mood until now, and she doesn't sleep well every day, and she has become haggard, which is normal, and it is good if she is not bald.
"You'll know if you give birth to one yourself in the future. โ
Jiang Ying just touched her face, "It's too thin, if it's fatter, it won't be like this." It can't be that Lu scumbag has regained his scumbag nature after you gave birth, right?"
Lin Nuan remembered the scumbag at the beginning, laughed, and said, "He has always been a scumbag, and he has never changed." โ
Jiang Ying felt a little tired, but she didn't ask much, she just said: "Men are big pigs' trotters, you have two such cute babies now, don't worry about him in the future." โ
"Let's go shopping, I'll buy some new clothes for my parents, you can help me pick them." โ
With that, the two went to a nearby mall.
During the holidays, there are a lot of people in the mall, and various activities are engaged. Jiang Ying is a well-off family, and she doesn't pay too much attention to famous brands, Lin Nuan picked and chose with her, bought two sets of moderately priced clothes for her father, and bought clothes and handbags for her mother.
After buying clothes and going down the escalator, someone suddenly called Lin Nuan's name.
Lin Nuan didn't pay attention, but Jiang Ying noticed it at once, bumped her shoulder, raised her chin, and said, "Someone called you." โ
Lin Nuan glanced at her, then followed its gaze to the escalator on the other side.
It turned out to be Zou Lu.
He quickly ran down and said, "Long time no see, are you okay?"
Lin Nuan reminded him, "It's not safe for you to be like this. โ
"Wait a minute. After speaking, he quickly went up, and quickly came down from her, and in a blink of an eye, the person was behind her, panting slightly, and said the opening remarks just now, "Long time no see, are you okay?"
Jiang Ying stood next to her, laughing secretly, and the three of them got down the escalator.
Lin Nuan stopped and exchanged a few words with him seriously, politely and politely, but also a little rejecting people thousands of miles away.
She said, "It's good, thank you for your concern." โ
Zou Lu said, "Have you eaten?"
Without waiting for Lin Nuan to speak, Jiang Ying spoke first and said, "Not yet, I'm discussing where to eat." โ
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I invite you. โ
Lin Nuan politely refused, "No need, she just came back from the United States, and the two of us want to catch up alone." You must have made an appointment with a friend when you came here, right?"
"It's not. He flatly denied it, "I'm idle alone, I go out for a walk, my house is near here, my mother asked me to buy things, I go shopping by the way, so as not to sit at home and let them chatter." โ
Jiang Ying said: "Still single?"
Zou Lu nodded, and there were several blind dates in the middle, but it didn't go well.
A few days ago, Zou Qiulin came to the hospital for a physical examination, and by the way, he went to his department to sit for a while, chatting and chatting about Lin Nuan's recent situation, but he didn't expect that Lu Jiangchang's will was given by the boss of their firm.
From the boss's words, she heard a bit of gossip, and she thought of the relationship between Zou Lu and Lin Nuan, so she casually inquired. As a result, I found out a lot of secrets.
In the gossip, Lin Nuan got Lu Jiangchang's property, which can be said to be the biggest winner, but he can't see that this person is so scheming. I originally thought it was a tool for giving birth, but now I have a lot of money.
After that, Lin Nuan called again.
It happened that Zou Qiulin was also there that day, and after the boss answered the phone, he casually mentioned a few sentences. After Zou Qiulin asked, he learned about Lin Nuan's current situation.
Not as optimistic as most people think.
Zou Lu kept all these in mind. He always wanted to ask her, but he clicked on WeChat and thought about it for a long time, but he never sent a word.
He didn't have the power to help.
Today he made an appointment with his colleagues to have dinner together, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Nuan, a rare opportunity, he quickly caught her, and didn't want to miss it.
"I can't sit at home, I just sit and chatter, especially my mom, I can't finish talking. โ
Jiang Ying said: "Sympathy for the same disease. Since that's the case, let's go together, there is a big man who is willing to treat him, and he is a handsome guy, I am 10,000% happy. โ
She hooked Lin Nuan's shoulder again, "Don't let down the handsome guy." โ
Lin Nuan glanced at her, as if if she refused any longer, she would become unkind. Lin Nuan compromised, "Okay then, what are we going to eat?"
"How's the hot pot?"
"That's fine. โ
Then, the three of them changed places and went to Hot Pot City.
Jiang Ying asked for a private room, so that it would be quiet, and chatting would not be too noisy.
Eating hot pot is time-consuming, but it is warm to eat hot pot on such a day.
Lin Nuan hasn't eaten it for a long, long time.
The three of them sat together, Jiang Ying was already a little familiar and cheerful, even if it was the first time she saw Zou Lu, she didn't feel embarrassed, plus Zou Lu was also outgoing, so Lin Nuan was a little out of place, and she didn't talk much, just eating.
Zou Lu didn't deliberately talk to her, but his attention was all on her.
I haven't seen her for a while, she looks a lot haggard, and her whole energy seems to have been drained away.
Before, she looked cold, but she could also feel the vitality and confidence in her, but now, there are no two.
I don't know what happened in such a family, but it wasn't long after I gave birth.
Suddenly I felt that time was so cruel, and tortured a girl like a flower like this.
At this time, Jiang Ying took the initiative to lead the topic to Lin Nuan, and also mentioned the child, which just gave Zou Lu a chance to talk.
"Yes, there are no pictures of children, show us. โ
Lin Nuan didn't hide it, when it came to the child, a gentle smile appeared on her face, she took the phone, flipped out the photo, and handed it to Zou Lu.
He took it and asked by the way, "What's your name?"
"The boy is Lu Yulin, and the girl is Lu Zhinan. โ
Jiang Ying also knew the name for the first time, so she sighed and said, "Who took it, it's really good." โ
"The name that the old man took. โ
Zou Lu looked at it slowly for a while and said, "It's really cute, just like you." โ
Lin Nuan smiled and said, "Where is it like?"
He watched another video, in which the two children still interacted, it was really cute, Zou Lu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Eyes." โ
He handed the phone back, and Lin Nuan took it, "It hasn't grown yet." โ
"But seriously, the two children you gave birth to can be said to be high-quality products, and their appearance will definitely not be bad in the future. You and Lu Zhengshen's appearance is online, and when they are three or four years old, they will be taken out together, and the return rate will be super high. โ
"Envy?"
Jiang Ying nodded.
"Then give birth to one. โ
"Tsk, I feel like you're urging marriage in disguise right now. โ
In fact, Lin Nuan wanted to say that he could have children without getting married, and he could just think about it, but because Zou Lu was there, this kind of talk was still exempted.
"So hurry up and find a boyfriend. She seemed to think of something, "Aren't you two single? โ
After talking for a long time, Lin Nuan hadn't introduced them yet, and they didn't introduce themselves themselves. Lin Nuan started the work of an introducer and briefly described their respective situations.
Lin Nuan said: "Senior Zou is the son of our dean, think about it." โ
Jiang Ying glanced at her and said, "Why are you so naked? โ
"Adult men and women, can you stop being so twisted?"
Lin Nuan took a sip of warm water, quipped, and then said to Zou Lu: "Senior, you work hard, boys have to take the initiative." โ
After finishing the meal, Zou Lu sent the two of them outside the hot pot city, and Lin Nuan's driver drove the car over.
Lin Nuan made an excuse and asked Zou Lu to send Jiang Ying, while he got into the car, and after saying goodbye, he immediately asked the driver to drive, without giving Jiang Ying a chance to get out.
The two men stood side by side on the side of the road, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Jiang Ying said: "I have other things, you don't have to send me." โ
"Good. "Zou Lu is still a gentleman.
Jiang Ying thought for a while and said, "Lin Nuan doesn't know how to be an introducer at all, let's ignore her, we know that it's a blind match." โ
"I know you didn't mean that, don't worry I won't think about it. โ
"Okay, okay, then we can still be friends. โ
The two shook hands, and then went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, Jiang Wanzhu arranged the Lu family very festively.
Because of the good sun, she went to the courtyard outside with her sister-in-law for a few months to bask in the sun with her two children.
When Lin Nuan went up, he was startled when he saw that the crib was empty, and rushed downstairs in a hurry, and when he saw Lu Zhengshen, he asked, "Where is the child!"
At this time, Lu Zhengshen and Tang Ning were playing checkers.
The smile on Lu Zhengshen's face fell in a blink of an eye, and he raised his eyes with a cold gaze. Kelin is not afraid of warmth.
He didn't speak, Lin Nuan suppressed his anger slightly, and said slowly: "The child is innocent, you shouldn't take the child, what I did wrong and made you unhappy, you tell me directly, don't use this way." โ
Jiang Wanzhu happened to come in, heard her words, and said, "It's still outside, the weather is good today, I'll take them out to bask in the sun, it's not good to nest in the room all day." Why are you so nervous?"
Lin Nuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Lu Zhengshen.
He ignored her and continued to play chess.
She pursed her lower lip and said, "I'm sorry, I was too nervous to figure out the situation." โ
Lu Zhengshen lowered his eyes, "Have you seen a psychiatrist?"
She paused, her attention had been so focused on the child that she had completely forgotten about it.
"I'll get in touch after the New Year. โ
"Don't be here to disturb my mood. โ
Lin Nuan immediately walked away, for fear that he would be unhappy and would really take the child away.
She went outside, took the place of the confinement lady, sat next to her, and watched the two children sleep peacefully in the sun. Her heart was beating fast and she couldn't calm down.
She was still a little scared, she couldn't help but think about the worst, the tears fell uncontrollably, and quickly dried them, trying to control her mood.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, mobile phones are the most lively time, and everyone is sending blessing messages in groups.
The phone rang again and again, and now that it was fine, she took it out and looked at it.
With the blessings of many hospital colleagues, Brother Hua also gave a big red envelope, saying that it was New Year's money for the two children.
Lin Nuan was embarrassed to accept it, so he didn't order it, but just thanked him.
But Brother Hua must let her accept it, and in the end, he had to accept it, and wait for the next time his daughter will be on her tenth birthday.
Jiang Ying also sent a big red envelope.
As soon as she replied one by one, another message popped up, it was Zou Lu.
She clicked on it and looked at it, it was also a red envelope, saying that it was New Year's money for the two children, but fortunately it was only eighty-eight yuan, and Lin Nuan accepted it after thinking about it.
Learning the tone of the child, he replied: [Thank you, senior uncle. ใ
Zou Lu: [You're welcome, what are the children doing? ใ
Lin Nuan did as he said, took a small video and sent it over.
Zou Lu was lying on the sofa, biting an apple in his mouth and a smile in his eyes.
Dean Zou looked over from behind and said, "Who's a child?
"Ah, a friend's, a dragon and phoenix. โยท
"There are really a lot of dragon and phoenix fetuses now, and Dr. Lin in our hospital also gave birth to dragon and phoenix fetuses before. At the end of his speech, he seemed to think of something, "I remember that you knew Dr. Lin? This friend can't be Dr. Lin, right?"
Zou Lu took a bite, smiled, and said, "Dad, your thinking logic is really strong." โ
"Come on, let me take a closer look, I haven't seen it yet. โ
He put on his glasses, and Zou Lu handed over the phone.
Father Zou looked at it for a while, and smiled with a wrinkled face, "You, you, when did you say you were going to marry a daughter-in-law? Give me such a pair of cute babies, twins are difficult, there is no one, right?"
Zou Lu smiled, took the phone back, did not discuss the topic with him, and replied to the message, [Dean Zou said that it was very cute, and asked me to seal a big red envelope for the baby again, don't be too picky, he will contribute. ใ
After that, it's really a big one.
Lin Nuan was reluctant to accept it, [I got my heart, help me say hello to Dean Zou.] ใ
In the end, she confiscated it.
โฆโฆ
This is the loneliest year of the Lu family.
Jiang Wanzhu originally wanted to call Jiang Teng, but others were in City C, and she couldn't come, so she had to give up. She looked lively in the house, but there were too few people, and it still seemed deserted.
When the meal was served, she also pushed Lu Baiting down.
His mouth is crooked now, and his speech is not so clear that he cannot be stimulated. This person seems to have a white head overnight, and the whole person has aged a lot all of a sudden.
The hair that used to be jet black is now all white.
However, Jiang Wanzhu still took care of it wholeheartedly, and did not dislike it at all.
He let Lu Baiting sit in the main seat, and he was dressed upright today, his hair was neatly combed, except for his crooked mouth, he looked pretty good.
Yu Qian's child is almost half a year old, and she came down with the child in her arms.
Seeing Lu Baiting, she lowered her eyes and found the farthest position from him to sit down.
But no matter how far away, it is still within Lu Baiting's line of sight.
When he saw her, his eyes turned red and his emotions became a little excited.
Jiang Wanzhu noticed, hurriedly got up, stroked his chest, and said, "You're okay, why are you so excited, Yu Qian was also coerced, you shouldn't blame her." Also, I helped you do a paternity test for her child, it's your child, can you rest assured?"
Lu Baiting raised his eyes, obviously unconvinced, stuttered vaguely, and asked, "Really, really?"
"Of course it's true, why should I lie to you. โ
Lu Baiting looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.
At this time, Lu Zhengshen and Tang Ning came over together and sat down separately, Lin Nuan was a little late, and she came down with her sister-in-law for two months and took the child down. She sat next to Yu Qian.
When everyone arrived, Jiang's mother started the meal.
Jiang Wanzhu controlled the atmosphere, kept saying this at the dinner table, and after the food was served, let Jiang's mother also sit down to eat together.
Because they are all their own people, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not the same as before, more home-cooked food, although there are fewer people, but it seems to have more homely taste.
Jiang Wanzhu took care of Lu Baiting while provoking the conversation to make the table more lively.
"Let's all have a drink today, don't spoil anyone's fun. โ
She asked the maid to pour the wine, and then raised her glass, everyone toasted, Jiang Wanzhu drank it all in one gulp, sighed, and said, "It's really rare to be able to speak so freely on such a day." I bought a lot of fireworks this year, and when it was twelve o'clock, we went to the terrace to watch the fireworks. โ
Tang Ning said: "It turns out that my aunt is also a romantic person. โ
"That's right. Miss Tang came to the house for the first time for the New Year, this dish is simple, don't mind. โ
"How, I think it's good, it's the most sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve meal I've had in so many years." โ
Lin Nuan and Yu Qian were very silent and ate by themselves.
Looking like this, Tang Ning seems to be the daughter-in-law of this family, chatting happily with Jiang Wanzhu.
The meal took more than an hour.
Jiang Wanzhu sent a red envelope, Tang Ning gave a copy, Yu Qian's child gave a copy, and Lin Nuan had two.
Etiquette is also a lot.
After the meal, Jiang Wanzhu took Lu Baiting back to the room to change clothes.
Lin Nuan also wanted to go back to the room, but was stopped by Lu Zhengshen and asked her to keep the New Year in the living room.
She sat next to her according to her words, the phone vibrated badly, she took it out and looked at it, it was Lin Wenwen who was handing out red envelopes, and she sent a lot in one go.
Lin Jingcheng and Lin Jingqing also sent one over respectively, followed by Happy New Year.
This year, Lin Nuan's red envelopes are very full.
She couldn't help but smile lightly, and then chatted with them.
Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter which one it is, is happy.
The Lin family has had a very comfortable year this year, no matter what, this year is a year full of harvest, and Lin Hongyi is very happy.
Lin Wenwen is in the Fang family, and it's okay, except for remembering Lin Nuan, there doesn't seem to be anything else that particularly worries her about, Fang Hengxi, as an elder, also gave her a big red envelope. When the last bell rang, she received a blessing text message from Liang Chun, a long string of words, which can be seen to be written by herself, and not sent in groups.
Wen Jiurong and his two sons nested in the corner, and in order to avoid Wei Zhengtao's people, they couldn't even eat a good Chinese New Year's Eve meal. Her heart was full of hatred, and she smashed the instant noodles in front of her, "I won't just forget it!"
Lu Zhenglin sat gloomily in the corner, Lu Zhengjun leaned against the window, smoking, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shen Yanlu went home for the New Year, and at twelve o'clock, she received two text messages from Lu Zhengshen, one urging her to apply for divorce, and the other was the wedding date. She forwarded the information to Lu Zhengxun, and waited for a long time, only waiting for him to have three words, [Got it].
She sneered, not knowing what she was expecting.
At twelve o'clock, Lin Nuan and Jiang Wanzhu went to the terrace together, and at zero o'clock, the fireworks exploded in the night sky in an instant, gorgeous and dazzling, really beautiful.
She silently prayed in her heart, hoping that the child would grow up healthily, that she would break off the relationship with the Lu family, and that everything would be fine.
Another city under the same sky, a vicious fight in the dark night, someone fell hard, the sharp tip of the knife fell, with a burst of gunfire, the knife fell, and the person on the body fell fiercely.
"It's okay. โ
Pushing the person away from him, he sat up and raised his hand to wipe his cheek, "It's okay." โ
"I went back to make up for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. โ
"Good. He didn't get up immediately, but just looked at the sky, looking at the fireworks that bloomed far away, and his heart was empty, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Will such a day come to an end?
He remembered the eyes that looked at him with tears in their eyes, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
