"I don't like this kind of love either, it's heavy, it's oppressive, there's no hope. When Chu Qingchuan said this, I felt that he was immersed in his own world, and he didn't just say it to me.

I realized how little we knew about each other's past.

He knew about my marriage relationship with Chu Jingnan, but he didn't necessarily know that I loved Chu Jingnan so much.

And I also thought about it, he is a man in his thirties, who has gone through adolescence and entered the age of establishment, in his prime, how can he spend it alone in the years of blood and strength?

I'll admit that I have some desire to peek into his past.

If you like someone, you will have such a curiosity to see how he became what he is now.

The girl who taught him to be considerate, tolerant, and persistent in love, has the living girl also suffered a lot of injuries? Forgiven him for all kinds of mistakes he made when he didn't know how to love? She must be very good, right?

After the audience had left the table, he led me out of the opera hall.

On a summer night with the chirping of frogs and cicadas, we walked in the direction of the hotel.

The greenery here is very good, the woods next to the artificial lake are covered with red flowers and green willows, and the rare Qingming moonlight is hazy like frost.

The two of us walked on the cobblestone path, I simply took off my shoes, put them in my hands, and said to Chu Qingchuan with a smile This is a foot massage.

He looked at me with a smile, and the moon fell in his distant eyes.

Suddenly, a faint human voice came, squirming in the reeds not far away.

I looked at each other and hid behind a stout acacia tree.

"How is the acquisition of Chu's Group going?" is Li Yutong's voice, not as gentle and soft as usual.

"Hehe, you really don't miss the old love. Both men of the Chu family have an affair with you, so you can't wait to watch the decline of the Chu family?"

I raised my eyes to look at Chu Qingchuan, and he put his finger between his lips, suggesting that I continue to listen.

"Lu Xingchen, my relationship with you is just a contract, mutual benefit, you use my resources, I like your means, you speak with respect. Li Yutong said unhappily.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, still with his usual cynical feeling: "Then your acting skills are realistic, in front of Cheng Jiaoyang, you seem to care about what happened to me and her?"

"I just want you to say it, to scare her might. Li Yutong said.

"You seem to care about her very much, because your two men ended up being hers?" Lu Xingchen asked lightly.

"Lu Xingchen, you are enough! What qualifications do you have to say this to me, don't think that I don't know about you and Yu Nan. If it weren't for her, would you have collapsed the Chu family so smoothly?How did Chu Qingshan get into the gambling habit in the first place, and use usury to drag down the old man of the Chu family......" Li Yutong was saying this, and suddenly stopped talking.

I guess maybe I was frightened by Lu Xingchen's expression and realized that I had slipped my mouth.

Yu Nan is Chu Jingnan's younger brother and sister, and the daughter-in-law of his second uncle Chu Nianyuan.

"The more you know, the worse it is for you. Lu Xingchen's tone changed, and sure enough, Li Yutong had touched his bottom just now.

Li Yutong suddenly softened his attitude and said, "Who asked you to say those things that are irrelevant to the topic first." ”

Lu Xingchen smiled, and immediately became ambiguous again: "This is good, let me see if last night's injury is better." ”

"Don't mess around, it's outside. Li Yutong's voice softened.

"It's only exciting outside. I will help you settle the situation with people you don't like to see, but you also have to do what I tell you to do. Otherwise, if your father thinks that you are not strong, he will put the heavy responsibility in the hands of your eldest brother and sister-in-law, after all, your younger brother will not be successful. Baby, squat. Lu Xingchen was both soft and hard, and there was intimidation and coaxing in his tone.

The short conversation between the two of them revealed a lot of information.

I was still figuring it out, but the woman was already whimpering, like she was being gagged in her throat.

I looked at Chu Qingchuan in embarrassment, his eyes were blazing, and he was also looking at me.

I gave him a look to leave, and he pulled me into his arms, and I could feel his heartbeat, a little fast.

I was afraid that he would not be able to hold it, so I lay quietly on his chest and did not move.

At this time, Gu Lanyi's voice came from afar: "Jiang Haocheng! You bastard! You don't believe your word!"

There was a little aggrieved cry in her voice, and at the same time, the movement in the reeds was gone.

Jiang Haocheng didn't speak, Gu Lanyi continued to shout: "Jiang Haocheng, you stop me!"

"Gu Lanyi, are you finished?!" Jiang Haocheng finally opened his mouth, but he was full of impatience.

"It's not over! When will you fulfill your promise to marry me, when will it be finished!" Gu Lanyi's tone was also very resolute.

I thought to myself that tonight I watched a foot play, after the love and hatred of the ballet, the passion of the field was staged, and then there was a romantic forced marriage woman chasing the man, I don't know if there is a more novel plot next.

"Marry you, wait until you're done with your second development, I can't tell the difference between before and after, what are you marrying for?" Jiang Haocheng is really hopeless, I really want to beat him.

Sure enough, I heard Gu Lanyi give him a resounding slap.

"Have you had enough? Get out when you've had enough, don't pester Lao Tzu in the future. Jiang Haocheng's voice suddenly became fierce, revealing indifference and impersonal feelings.

"Why are you doing this to me? Brother Haocheng, do you think that I am not worthy of you?" Gu Lanyi's stubborn voice carried endless grievances.

I don't know what Gu Lanyi used to look like, but with her status and reputation today, if she whispers such humble words in front of Jiang Haocheng, she must love him to the core.

It's like who I was back then. No, I'm not as good as her, I had nothing at that time, and I still dared to say love.

After a long silence, Jiang Haocheng finally spoke up: "Do you think you are worthy of me?"

"Brother Haocheng, it's been a long time since I've said thank you to you. Ever since the day I met you, I've been saying thank you to you constantly. Later, you said that my wings were stiff, and you wouldn't care about me in the future, and you didn't need my thanks...... But you obviously said that you would take care of me for the rest of my life, why don't you count?" Gu Lanyi used a calm tone to tell the unrest in his heart.

"Don't you know that the most untrustworthy thing in the world is a man's mouth? Jiang Haocheng's tone softened, but it was still ruthless.

Gu Lanyi said stubbornly: "However, you are different from them. ”

Jiang Haocheng seemed to have heard a funny joke, and he chuckled disdainfully and said: "What's the difference? I think with my lower body, I like big breasts, fat buttocks, long legs, I love to hug left and right, and I chase power and greed. Lan Yi, we are not people of the same world at all. I don't want to say these words a second time, you're not stupid or stupid, if you still pretend not to understand, you're making a mistake. ”

"I know, I won't pester you anymore. Gu Lanyi seemed to have finally recognized the reality and left with an unconcealable loss.

After she left, I heard Jiang Haocheng slap himself hard and scold "SB".

I guess he's scolding himself.

Without saying a word all the way, Chu Qingchuan and I returned to his suite.

Love is really unpredictable, and two people who seem to be of equal strength are still not possible to be together?

I remembered what Chu Qingchuan said to me when he was watching the exhibition, and I felt a sense of loss.

Sure enough, once a man's feelings for a woman are mixed with other factors, will love be put on the back burner?

"What do you want?" Chu Qingchuan wrapped his arms around my waist from behind when I finished taking a shower and brushing my teeth.

I put my hand on the back of his hand and said, "He must like each other, right?"

"The two in the field? Chu Qingchuan deliberately diverted my topic, and I was amused by him.

"Stinky man. "The performance of Lu Xingchen and Jiang Haocheng just now is indeed not good.

Chu Qingchuan deliberately turned his head and sniffed himself, and said, "It doesn't stink, don't you like to smell it very much?"

I haven't seen him in a while, and looking back, so much has happened in the past month, and I didn't expect that one day we would be able to recover again, and even, emotionally, it seems to be even more than ever.

I turned around and kissed him, the white toothpaste foam sticking to his mouth, and I was overjoyed at the prank.

He grabbed my waist and lifted me up to sit me down on the sink.

I put my hands at my side and looked at each other, a friendship that went straight to the bottom of my eyes.

But I didn't dare to close my eyes, I was afraid of repeating the previous scene.

The little girl's empty eyes, I was really scared.

It was as if she had tricked me into losing my judgment and reason, and I was completely obedient to her orders.

Chu Qingchuan raised his hand and pulled the towel next to him, wiped my mouth clean, and wiped the toothpaste foam off his lips.

Then he picked me up and went back to the bedroom.

"Sleep. "He ordered me to close my eyes.

"Huh?" I subconsciously questioned him.

"Why? Don't want to sleep?" he looked down at me.

"Sleep, can't sleep. "I was a little scared that I would relive the nightmare when I fell asleep.

"Let's talk about it for a while. Chu Qingchuan dimmed the light of the wall lamp, hugged me into his arms, and then hooked my legs between his legs, just like before.

"Chu Qingchuan, do you still have 10% of the shares of the Chu Group in your hands?" I buried in his neck and asked in a muffled voice.

"Nope. He replied in a deep voice.

On the contrary, I didn't know how to continue to ask, and after thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell what Chu Yao told me: "I lived with Chu Yao before, and she told me that the Chu family had already begun to decline, but Grandpa Chu and Chu Qingshan were hiding it from everyone. Listening to Li Yutong's meaning today, is it because of Chu Qingshan's bad gambling before, which led to the decline of the Chu family?"

"Well, that's right. He replied.

"You already knew?" I looked up at him, my elbows propped up on the bed.

He wrapped my hair around and said that since I am a shareholder, of course I need to find out.

Then he told me that under the premise of the general recession, Chu Qingshan's gambling loss was only one of the reasons, in addition, he had an affair with the group's financial director, and the financial director used this relationship to transfer Chu's huge assets with competitors, and fled abroad before it was exposed.

I couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't expect a huge group company to be defeated when it said it was defeated, and the reason was so unacceptable.

"The competitor you're talking about won't be Lu Xingchen, right?" I asked.

He knocked on my head: "How old is Lu Xingchen?"

I thought about it too, but I couldn't think of anyone else for a while. After all, I don't mix in the business world, so I don't know much about it.

"Then what should you do with your shares? Isn't the Chu family already in debt now?" I was a little worried about Chu Qingchuan's situation, he had nothing to do with the Chu family, but because of a will, he was involved.

"Do you remember when we first discussed, did Chu He know about the Chu family's financial crisis when he made the will?" he asked.

I nodded and said yes.

Now it seems that he knew about it a long time ago. "He, like me, is reasoning and judging.

I began to think, and he was silent.

Since Grandpa Chu knew that Chu's shares were disadvantageous and disadvantageous, he left it to Chu Jingnan and Chu Qingchuan, right......

"Grandpa Chu thinks that instead of giving others to let the Chu clan collapse completely, it is better to hand it over to you and Chu Jingnan, maybe there will be a glimmer of life?" "I figured it out!" The rest of the Chu family didn't know that the Chu clan had already fallen into a crisis at that time, if the shares were given to Chu Nianyuan's family, let them know that the Chu clan was in crisis, but they were unable to turn it around, it would only make the Chu clan perish faster.

Perhaps, Grandpa Chu already knew that Chu Qingshan was framed by Yu Nan? Or, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, Chu Nianyuan might still be worried about splitting the Chu clan as soon as possible, leaving the last bit of meat.

Chu Qingchuan looked at me with a little approval and said, "Yes, then do you know why even you have a share?"

"It won't be for me to share the hardships with Chu Jingnan, right?" I joked.

"Hehe, do you still like him now?" Chu Qingchuan suddenly asked, which was really beyond my expectations.

"Of course not. I answered categorically.

"Even if you know that he is forced to be helpless, won't you?" Chu Qingchuan asked again.
