Seeing that I was still confused, Lu Xudong reached over and held my hand funny: "If you don't know, forget it, don't think about it, just know about it!"

yes, I just need to know about it, and I don't have the ability to help anyway. I stared at the hand he was holding for a while, and my heart was sullen, and my whole body was surrounded by a feeling of extreme powerlessness.

When Lu Xudong and I arrived at the company, we learned that the situation was far worse than we imagined, because the working capital was frozen, the company's production line was almost completely stopped, and the entire office building was crowded with workers, all of whom heard the wind and were afraid that their wages would be in arrears.

Finally entered the office building, and a man in his forties breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xudong, and said with emotion: "You are finally here!"

Later, I learned that he was my father-in-law's right-hand man, Secretary Liu, and after my father-in-law was taken away, it was he who called the old house to inform his mother-in-law, and temporarily dealt with many company emergencies.

Taking advantage of Secretary Liu's introduction to Lu Xudong about some of the company's emergencies, I flipped through some information about the company's profile on the newsrack by the way.

When I married Lu Xudong, I just vaguely knew that my father-in-law used to be a civil servant, and then went to the sea to start a luggage business.

But until now I didn't know that the famous Bestra luggage store in H City was actually opened by the Lu family.

I smacked my tongue and finally understood why the guild looked down on people like me, no wonder Lu Yanxi has always been an arrogant look with eyes on the top of her head, I used to only think that Jiang Junxiu, who opened countless real estate agency companies at home, was a good match with her, and now I knew that even Jiang Junxiu was Gao Pan, let alone me!

Afterwards, I told Ye Shengyin about this discovery, but she asked me in amazement: "You don't know? How anxious were you to get married at the beginning? You didn't even understand the basic situation of other people's families, so you got married like this?"

No wonder my sister-in-law dared to instigate my mother to ask the Lu family for so many dowries, I'm afraid the only person who doesn't know the real background of the Lu family is me!

I was a little sneering, thinking that according to the scale of the company, if the loan of 200 million yuan is secured by the company's assets, it will not be insolvent, and then I heard a few senior managers come to chat with Lu Xudong, only to know that there are actually a lot of tricks in this loan, just in the early stage of the relationship, I don't know how much human and financial resources to invest, and this loan is said to have taken a few days from the application to the appropriation, and the father-in-law does not know how much benefit is allowed.

Besides, after the money arrived, most of them were filled in the overseas market in the past, the father-in-law has been committed to the development of overseas markets in the past two years, for which he also specially invited a CEO who is responsible for this part to come back, the company's current chaos, in addition to the funds were frozen and forced to stop production, but also because since the father-in-law was taken away, the CEO who spent a sky-high annual salary suddenly resigned, saying that all the overseas investments were lost, and he has been hiding from the world, seeing that the boss was taken away, he knew that he could no longer hide it, so he ......

I listened to it for a long time, and I was amazed by this kind of news, and once again deeply felt that art comes from life, and the things that I had only seen in film and television dramas before were put in front of me, and I knew that life is always more vast than your imagination.

But for me, these bomb-like news are simply a TVB business war series that really happened in front of me.

I didn't know anything about any of these things, I didn't understand them very well, let alone helped, so I tried to keep my presence low and try not to disturb their discussions.

I waited until late that day, and Lu Xudong suddenly remembered me and asked me if I needed someone to take me home first.

I saw that he frowned, looking ready to be busy all night, and I wanted to say that I wanted to stay with him, but I was afraid that I would hinder him, so I had to take a deep breath, shake my head and say, "I'll take a taxi back by myself!"

Lu Xudong looked at the time and was a little uneasy: "Let's let the driver send it, it's past ten o'clock." ”

Before he finished speaking, Secretary Liu next to him suggested: "Why don't you rest for a while?" Everyone is so busy that they haven't eaten dinner yet, can you take your wife to eat something first, and then come back and continue?"

Secretary Liu's lady voice made me feel awkward, and I felt bad.

Lu Xudong thought about it, and probably felt that it was not appropriate to call the driver who had already left work to send me again, so he answered: "Okay!" After a few more words, he quickly got up and led me downstairs to leave.

It was cold in the middle of the night, and the street seemed empty and deserted, Lu Xudong stepped on the accelerator very much, and it didn't take long for me to send me to the gate of the community.

He parked the car on the side of the road, watched me unbuckle my seat belt, and told me, "Just eat something at the store over there and go upstairs in a while, don't go hungry!"

My hand that was about to push the door paused and looked back at him, "What about you?"

Lu Xudong smiled at me comfortingly: "I'll go back to the company to order takeout to eat, don't worry!"

It's no wonder that you can rest assured!

My heart is foggy now, I don't feel solid at all, how simple my life used to be, and there were so many changes overnight, the key is that at this time, I don't even have the ability to share hardships side by side with Lu Xudong, and I feel particularly frustrated like never before.

But I didn't say anything in the end, nodded very obediently, and walked to a noodle restaurant that was still in business at the entrance of the community under the gaze of Lu Xudong.

At this time, if you can't help, I can't help him.

When I entered the noodle shop, ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and found a window seat to sit down, I saw Lu Xudong's car slowly leaving.

Lu Xudong stayed in the company for several all-nighters in a row, he was not only busy trying to find a way to deal with the mess in the overseas market, but also had to find a way to appease the hearts of front-line workers, and even more to find a way to raise funds to repay the loan, and strive to unfreeze the company's liquidity as soon as possible.

After all, he was not familiar with the affairs of the company, and he was so busy that I couldn't help at all, except for bringing him food every day, I couldn't do anything for him.

Distraught, he went to the hospital several times to find Ye Shengyin, under the banner of going to see Grandma Ye, and went there to look at Ye Shengyin and sigh for a long time.

When I received Lu Xudong's call that night, I happened to be talking to Ye Shengyin with emotion: "I really feel that I am useless, and I used to think how great it was for me to dare to muster up the courage to fight against my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now that I encounter something, I know how bad I am, I can't help anything, I can't even understand many things!"

At that time, I had just come over from Qisheng Company to deliver dinner to Lu Xudong, and thinking about his sloppy beard, I felt very uncomfortable.

"Isn't this normal?" Ye Shengyin scoffed at my words: "Don't say you don't understand, I'm afraid Lu Xudong may not fully understand, you don't study business management, and you haven't been in a big company, it's normal to not understand, don't worry about those who don't have it all day long, take care of yourself and you will be the biggest help to Lu Xudong!"

As soon as Ye Shengyin's words fell, my mobile phone rang, and I said to her, "I know. While taking out his mobile phone with a sad face, when he took it out and saw Lu Xudong's number, his heart tightened, and he immediately answered it.

"Certatly......" Lu Xudong called out to me in a low voice, and then fell silent.

I thought that Lu Xudong was upset by the fundraising and wanted to talk to me, so I sat down for a while when I delivered food in the evening, knowing that their fundraising was hitting a wall everywhere, and almost entered a desperate situation.

So I pretended to be relaxed and said, "Hey, what's wrong? Did you suddenly remember that I didn't say hello to you when I left?"

Lu Xudong was silent, I waited for a long time and he didn't say anything, I suddenly became a little anxious again, and cautiously probed: "Why don't you speak? You can't really leave because I didn't say a word to you, and then you get angry with me, right? I also see that you are busy, and I don't want to disturb you......"

As I was explaining, I heard a sudden noise from his side, which didn't sound like he was in the company, so I paused again and asked him a little worriedly, "Where are you? Why do you seem to be a little noisy?"

Lu Xudong woke up like a dream, and said slowly: "Cersei, the old man has entered the hospital." ”

I was surprised, "Huh?" and said, "You mean Dad is hospitalized, what happened?"

Lu Xudong's voice was dry and wooden: "He didn't know where he got the news, he knew that Guo Yuqing reported him, he couldn't accept it for a while, he fainted directly inside, and was sent to the hospital for rescue, the doctor said it was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and I just received a notice to rush over...... The operation is not over yet, and I don't know if the person can be saved. ”

I was almost stunned by his words, but it took me a while to react, and I asked him anxiously: "In which hospital?" you wait for me, I'll come right away!"

When Lu Xudong said the name of the hospital, I immediately hung up the phone, briefly explained to Ye Shengyin, who looked puzzled, and then hurried out.

At this time, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, and the people and cars on the street were quite lively, but the night wind at the beginning of the second lunar month was still very cold, and the chill penetrated into my bones silently, making me extremely flustered and uneasy.

I took a taxi and went straight to the hospital, I was unsettled all the way, and when I got to the place to pay for the car and get off, I almost trotted all the way in, only to find the direction of the operating room, ran in for a while, and saw several uniformed police officers and inspectors were also there, so I was sure that I had not touched the wrong place. I turned the corner again, and then I saw Lu Xudong standing at the corner of the corridor.

He was leaning against the wall, and when I saw him, he was in a daze, staring at the ground with a somewhat vacant gaze, and his phone in his hand, as if he had been in this position since he had called me.

"Xudong. I called out to him softly, but he didn't answer, not even glance at me, as if he were in a no-man's land.

I have never seen Lu Xudong like this, and the uneasiness in my heart has worsened a lot. I walked over and gently nudged him: "Xudong...... Are you alright?"

Lu Xudong slowly raised his head at this time and looked at me, and at that moment, I saw the tears flashing in his eyes.

It is said that blood is thicker than water, and I usually see Lu Xudong and his father-in-law tense as soon as they meet, but in the final analysis, the relationship between father and son can not be easily erased.

Looking at Lu Xudong's appearance, I was a little at a loss, my nose followed by pantothenic acid, and tears almost fell.

But I tried to calm down and asked him in a low voice, "Are you okay?" Have you asked the doctor? Is Dad okay?"

Lu Xudong looked at me for a long time before he asked me a little tremblingly: "Cersei, do you think the old man will die like this?"

I was shocked, and immediately raised my voice and replied to him: "No, of course not." ”

Although I don't have any medical knowledge, but the Internet information has developed over the years, and I know how dangerous a cerebral hemorrhage is, although my father-in-law usually looks tough, but after all, he is also in his sixties......

Lu Xudong smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to help me brush the messy hair on my forehead, and glanced at the closed door of the operating room with a little wandering: "Since I received their call, my eyelids have been jumping, and I can't stop." ”

I subconsciously went to hold his hand, only to feel that his hand was very cold, my heart trembled, and I hurriedly comforted: "That one that doesn't work, maybe it's caused by your eyes that haven't rested well recently." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the other end of the corridor suddenly became lively, Lu Xudong was shocked, broke away and walked quickly towards the other side, I hurriedly followed, just in time to hear the doctor coming out of the operating room, saying a cruel word that is often heard on TV, but we don't want to hear it in real life.

"I'm sorry, we did our best, but his bleeding was too heavy, the bleeding was not in a good position, and he was in terrible condition when he was delivered," he said...... I'm sorry, but I didn't get it in the end!"

Lu Xudong stood there with a dejected expression, his eyes full of disbelief and pain.

I stood next to him, feeling like something, trying to reach out and touch him and say something to comfort him, but in the end I just stood stunned.

The scene in front of me seemed to become a little chaotic all of a sudden, and several policemen were talking to doctors and talking on the phone, and for a while, the operating room, which was originally exceptionally quiet, became very noisy.

Lu Xudong quickly calmed down, he motioned for me to sit down on the chair next to me, and then went to negotiate with the doctor with a cold expression, and then spoke to the police.

I looked at him blankly, and saw that he had become the gentle-looking, calm man again, handling everything at hand with great measure, and suddenly I was extremely distressed.

Although the relationship between Lu Xudong and his father-in-law has always been particularly tense, I heard Guo Yuqing say before that before they fell out, the relationship between father and son was actually quite harmonious, and it was precisely because of the good relationship between their father and son before, so Lu Xudong would be even more unacceptable that his father would buy his feelings with money behind his back, in a vain attempt to control his life.

No matter what kind of feelings Lu Xudong has for his father-in-law now, I think he must not be able to bear the sudden departure of his father-in-law, even my daughter-in-law, who has nothing to do with her father-in-law, and even has not been treated well, feels uncomfortable, let alone him?

But seeing that he is now calmly making all kinds of proper arrangements, imagining the sadness that he has suppressed, I can't help but feel even more uncomfortable.

When we were allowed to see my father-in-law for the last time, I held Lu Xudong's hand tightly and tried very hard to convey my inner comfort to him.

He curled the corners of his mouth at me as if he had sensed something, and silently led me to the room where the corpse was parked.

The body was covered with a white cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was.

This happened so suddenly, until I stood in front of my father-in-law's body, I still felt very caught off guard, I couldn't believe it at all, my father-in-law, who was aggressively asking me to divorce Lu Xudong as soon as possible, disappeared so quietly at this time.

When I thought of a person who was so beautiful in his life, he said goodbye to this world in such a depressed way, and my heart was even more sour, and my eyes turned red violently, and I had to try my best to endure the tears in my eyes.

Lu Xudong lifted a corner of the white cloth covering the body, and before I could see it clearly, he quickly put it down again.

"I haven't looked at him seriously for many years!" Lu Xudong suddenly spoke, his tone was extremely low: "I moved out of my home before graduating from college, and I only went home two or three times a year at the beginning, and I always deliberately picked him to go back when he was not there, I did everything with him, he wanted me to go home to help him, I just entered another company, he wanted me to marry a wife who was the right person, I didn't even talk about love, even if I was looking for a marriage partner, I was looking for a marriage partner in the direction that would definitely provoke him...... Many times, I have a very conflicted heart, I hate him for always trying to manipulate my life with his thinking principles, and I am especially grateful for what he once taught me, in fact, except for the fact that he always wants to manipulate my life to the way he wants, he is really a good father......"

Lu Xudong took a deep breath, his eyes contained deep pain: "In the past two years, my mother has persuaded me countless times, asking me to go back to the company to help him, saying that he is old and it is time to retire and rest...... But in the past few days, I have learned that he is actually really tired of carrying such a big burden alone...... Am I unfilial?"

He looked at me, and without waiting for me to answer, he hooked his lips self-deprecatingly, let go of the hand I was holding, covered his face vigorously, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and then kept that motionless.

I reached out and touched his back, trying to comfort him, but in the end I could only say weakly, "If you feel bad, then cry out, don't suppress it...... Dad, if he has a spirit in heaven, he won't want you to be like this......"

"I've never let him get his satisfaction, right?!" Lu Xudong lowered his hand, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at his father-in-law who was completely covered with a white cloth with some bitterness, and was silent for a while.

It wasn't until I was worried about whether he was blaming himself too much that he turned his head as if he had just woken up from his sleep, looked at me and said in confusion: "Cersei, I really feel like I'm dreaming, why is he really dead? ”

His words, all of a sudden, made me endure the tears of the night instantly extinguished, the so-called "tree wants to stop but the wind is not quiet, the child wants to raise but does not wait" is probably such a late regret of the pain, right?

I couldn't find the right words to comfort Lu Xudong, so I looked at him in a daze, and my eyes were already blurry.

He reached out to wipe away a line of tears that were about to run down my neck, and then reached out and hugged me tightly, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't be sad......," he comforted me, and buried his face in my shoulder.

I bit my lip and sniffed, reaching out to wrap my arms around his waist, "Well, I'm not sad...... Don't blame yourself too much, Dad will understand you. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a cold liquid slip from my shoulder and into my collar......

After seeing the body and going out, I found that many people came one after another, probably all of them were agency personnel, who had been recording and talking to the doctors.

Lu Xudong was also called over to talk for a long time, and then he walked to my side and said to me with some hesitation: "Cersei, why don't you go to the house and pick up your mother now?" Dad's body will be temporarily stored in the hospital morgue, and I will contact the funeral home as soon as it is dawn, and then I will directly arrange for my father to be sent over, and now I have to discuss the specific matters with my mother." ”

I looked at him hesitantly, "Do you want to tell Mom now?" But she must have fallen asleep by this point, or I'll tell her when it's dawn?"

Lu Xudong took a deep breath, looked at the corridor where there were still many people, and looked solemn: "Just now, I'm afraid that if someone goes to her with ulterior motives......"

I instantly understood what he meant, the guild suddenly had an accident, because I suddenly learned that Guo Yuqing had betrayed him, and I couldn't accept it for a while. Mother-in-law has high blood pressure, and she was stimulated one after another before, if Guo Yuqing went to the house at this time to directly stab the truth of her father-in-law's accident, according to her mother-in-law's mind that she still expects Guo Yuqing to help the Lu family, I can't imagine how hard this will be for her.

On the way back to the old house by taxi, I prayed all the way that Guo Yuqing had not received the news of her father-in-law's accident, and considered what to say to make my mother-in-law not so stimulated.
