Chapter 50: Fragile Piety

Wang Zhangzhu lay on Chu Huandong's lap, looked at the misty mountains outside the car window, and couldn't help but secretly speak: "The mountain road here is really terrible, if the driver is not old-fashioned, the car will easily fall." ”

"Nonsense. Chu Huandong scratched her nose, she opened her mouth to bite him, and a pair of children were reflected in the car window.

The bodyguard sitting next to him was not blind, so he naturally saw the two of them fighting, and unexpectedly bumped into Chu Huandong's gaze flying obliquely, and quickly closed his eyes, thinking that he was a bodyguard, and it was inappropriate to close his eyes, so he hurriedly opened his eyes again, twisted his head as much as possible, and looked out of the window.

Seeing them like this, Wang Zhangzhu was playful, propped himself up, and gave Chu Huandong a kiss on the cheek, chirping.

Chu Huandong knew that she was deliberately trying to make trouble, so he just smiled and rubbed her head lovingly, he didn't want the bodyguards to be too embarrassed, and he didn't want to say anything, so he only lowered his head and pretended to look at the map on his lap.

The higher the car, the steeper the mountain road, the driver drove very slowly and cautiously, Chu Huandong listened to Wang Zhangzhu for a long time without chattering and laughing, looked up at her face a little pale, knew that she was nervous and scared, and reached out to hug her: "It's okay, the drivers are all veterans, ensure safety." ”

After another half an hour, they finally arrived at the temple on the high mountain, and saw the unique cornices that wanted to fly into the clouds in the distance, and the temple was surrounded by a circle of tall trees, some of which were so thick that two people could not hug each other, and they had a long history at a glance, and then they went forward, and they saw the ancient and tall temple in the center little by little.

This temple is much larger than the temple imagined by Wang Zhangzhu, and the walls are faintly vermilion, solemn.

The day they came was not a temple fair, and the location of the temple was steep, but there were still many people who came to the temple to make incense and make wishes, and the main hall was full of incense.

Wang Zhangzhu knew that Chu Huandong didn't believe in these gods and ghosts, so he walked into the temple and glanced at those who were kneeling and praying in front of the Buddha, and he also learned from them, worshipping the Buddha, while worshipping the Buddha, she prayed, and she couldn't think of a good solution to those difficult problems, I hope the Buddha can help her solve them.

Chu Huandong stood behind Wang Zhangzhu's side, he could see her thin back, fair side face, and graceful curved neck, looking at her like those people, bowing down devoutly, and reading words in her mouth nervously, maybe because she was too thin and too pious, such Wang Zhangzhu looked particularly fragile, and he felt bitter in his heart, if the reality could fulfill people's wishes, who would be willing to pin their hopes on the empty gods and Buddhas.

Wang Zhangzhu could have been a happy child, and she didn't need to pin her wishes here, but because of her own willful behavior and because of her father's heinous crimes, she became as frightened and helpless as she is now.

Chu Huandong knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the separation between himself and Wang Zhangzhu in the near future, because there was an irresolvable hatred between them.

He was staring at Wang Zhangzhu in a daze, the phone in his hand rang, he picked it up casually, listening to Ding Lingyue's suppressed angry voice on the phone, Chu Huandong's heart sank little by little.

Wang Zhangzhu worshipped this Buddha, and then went to worship that one, and hurriedly worshiped all the gods and Buddhas in the temple, and finally his forehead and the tip of his nose were tired and sweated.

Looking at Wang Zhangzhu, who was pious and extremely serious and kneeling everywhere, Chu Huandong's eyes showed a sad look, he nailed there like wood, clutching the phone tightly until the hard thing was deep in the palm of his hand.

"Brother Huandong, I kowtowed sincerely to all the Buddhas, each of them kowtowed three times, and donated a large amount of lamp oil money, this time they will definitely bless us. Wang Zhangzhu seemed to have finally found a solution to the problem, and looked at Chu Huandong with infinite joy.

She has a pair of big black and white eyes, reflecting her own shadow, her smile is full of hope, moving and abnormal, her forehead is because she kowtows too sincerely and too hard, with obvious red marks, red like a bloody knife, in a moment of Ling Chi Chu Huandong's heart, Chu Huandong subconsciously wanted to escape from this gaze.

He looked up at the statue of Guanyin, who was always compassionate and compassionate, and listened to the sound of the bell that seemed to be near and far away from the temple, and his heart felt like it was about to break.

After a long time, he turned his head, carefully wiped off Wang Zhangzhu's forehead, the fine sweat on the tip of his nose, and kissed her on the forehead, the mountain wind was a little strong, and his lips were cold: "My palm beads are the best, and the Buddha will definitely bless us." He didn't want to be too cruel, and immediately woke her up from her heart-wrenching dreams.

When going down the mountain, Wang Zhangzhu was a little tired, leaned on Chu Huandong's arms and fell asleep, in her sleep, she had a dream, she dreamed that she and Chu Huandong were playing in the garden with Niuniu, and her father was sitting on the side, their family had no grievances, no hatred, and lived happily together.

Zhang Xiaopeng has been by Chu Huandong's side for a long time, and he feels that something is wrong when he looks at Chu Huandong's expression, his mind is far less meticulous than Ding Lingyue, but his intuition is sharp enough.

He sat in the front row and cautiously observed Chu Huandong's expression in the back seat from the rearview mirror, but he couldn't help but see Chu Huandong open his eyes, his dark eyes were gloomy and unpredictable, and he looked so abruptly as if with a compelling chill.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly sat upright, staring at the road in front of him without squinting, only to hear Chu Huandong ask in a very small voice, "Ling Yue called you." ”

"No, I didn't. Zhang Xiaopeng was completely aware of the seriousness of the question, and after waiting for a long time to see that Chu Huandong didn't speak again, he turned his head, just about to ask something, but as soon as he moved his lips, he saw Chu Huandong shaking his head expressionlessly and shaking his head, pointing to the fragrant Wang Zhangzhu who was sleeping in his arms.

Zhang Xiaopeng knew that he should keep his mouth shut at this time, so he obediently turned his head and didn't dare to speak out with a stomach full of questions.

The pause of the car woke Wang Zhangzhu from her dream, she opened her eyes in a daze, and found that the parking place was not the entrance of the hotel, but the entrance of the airport.

Seeing her like this, Chu Huandong felt a throbbing pain in his heart, reached out to touch her back, and smiled at her, although this smile was not much warmer than the sunshine in the cold winter days: "Zhangzhu, something happened in the company, we need to go back immediately." ”

There was silence in the spacious carriage, only the slight sound of the air conditioner in the front seat, Wang Zhangzhu felt palpitations as if she had woken up from a nightmare, and after a moment's relief, her expression calmed down a little, and her voice was extremely slight: "Well, I know." ”

Getting on the plane, Wang Zhangzhu's expression was a little sad, she lowered her head, held Chu Huandong's hand with her hand, then let go, and then clenched it again, this unconscious action was repeated for a while.

When Chu Huandong saw her like this, he thought that she was hungry, he knew that Wang Zhangzhu didn't like to eat things on the plane, and just before getting on the plane, he asked the bodyguard to go to a nearby restaurant and order takeout for her.

Wang Zhangzhu gave him a lot of face, tried hard to eat a few more bites, and then shouted that he was sleepy, Chu Huandong asked the stewardess for a thin blanket, helped her adjust the back of the chair, Wang Zhangzhu lay down on his side, left his back to Chu Huandong, and slept with his eyes closed.

In fact, her thoughts were tumbling in her heart, where could she sleep, but she didn't know what kind of expression to use against Chu Huandong, so she could only pretend to be sleepy and hide for a while.

Chu Huandong naturally knew that Wang Zhangzhu was pretending to be asleep, but he didn't demolish her, just stared at her back silently.

After more than three hours of flight, they returned to their city, Wang Zhangzhu sat in the car driving home, a face quietly turned out of the window, the bustling scenery retreated, but her face was unusually indifferent.

Chu Huandong sent Wang Zhangzhu home, went into the house and hugged Niuniu, and went to the company without even having time to change his clothes.

As soon as he entered the door of the company, he immediately felt a bit of an unusual atmosphere, most of the employees acted as if they were buried in their work, in fact, the focus of their eyes was on him, he ignored these people, just strode towards the conference room.

Song Liangyu had long known what time he was going to take the plane back, and he had already summoned all the senior executives of the company to a meeting, and he slyly arranged the time very tightly, not wanting to give Chu Huandong and Ding Lingyue the opportunity to talk and discuss alone.

When Chu Huandong sat down, everyone had already arrived, and it seemed that they were just waiting for him to appear, Chu Huandong glanced at Ding Lingyue beside him without missing a trace, and saw that he was just tired, and there was not much anger or panic.

Song Liangyu's secretary sent a document to everyone, which clearly recorded several huge sums of money that Ding Lingyue had privately allocated from the company some time ago, and at that time he instructed the appropriation to be destined for several overseas branches under the Chutian Group, but in fact, he transferred all the money to several mysterious overseas offshore companies, and several branches of the Chutian Group did not know about these things at all.

Chu Huandong took a sip of tea, looking at the information in hand silently, Ding Lingyue has been transferring money, he knows, in fact, the number of transfers is several times more than the data in front of him, or even dozens of times.

Before Song Liangyu came to the company, Ding Lingyue was already operating this matter, Chu Huandong was turning a blind eye at the time, and his attitude was acquiescing, and later Song Liangyu came, Chu Huandong thought that Ding Lingyue had stopped, he was not often in the company these days, and he really didn't notice Ding Lingyue's recent operations.

If it was put in the past, Chu Huandong only said that he had told Ding Lingyue to do it, and everything would have passed, but now that the company is no longer the only one in the company, he gave half of his net worth to Song Liangyu, who is now also the major shareholder of the company, if he grasps this matter and does not let go, the matter is really tricky.
