Chapter 244: Confession
In the "Plum Pavilion", Lu Zhendong was wearing a royal blue brocade straight jacket, his posture was straight, standing with his hands behind his back, and the fine sunlight shone on his body, plated with a layer of gold. When he heard www.biquge.info footsteps, he turned around, the corners of his mouth curled, and the light in his eyes was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.
Lan Xin had a smug smile on his face, and his eyes looked away, not daring to look at him. Walking into the pavilion, he curtsied, and said in a calm and detached voice: "I've seen Lu Gongzi." Childe, please be seated. ”
Lu Zhendong was a little disappointed in his heart, but he was quickly relieved. He didn't know how many days and nights he had been looking forward to such a scene, but today it finally came true. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a smile: "Excuse me." As he spoke, he naturally sat down opposite Lan Xin.
Hongxuan put the refreshments on the tray on the table, and after one person poured a cup of tea, he put the teapot on the table and withdrew. She stood at the bottom of the steps, a position where she could not hear what was being said in the pavilion, and she could rush over as soon as something happened.
Lu Zhendong picked up the teacup, sipped the tea in the cup, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lan Xin hanging his head and taking a small sip of tea. The slightly fluttering eyelashes slid gently over his heart like a small fan. I wish time could stop and stand still.
But some people just didn't understand the amorous feelings, Lan Xin put down the teacup and asked softly, "I don't know what happened to Lu Gongzi's visit today?"
Lu Zhendong looked at Lan Xin with a shallow and detached smile on his face, and felt a little uncomfortable, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and said with a smile: "The last time we met, I said that I would personally send the payment over. It happened to arrive today, so I sent it over in person. The whole ship sold for a total of 826,500 taels. The six thousand five hundred taels were given to the families of those who did not come back at sea, and the remaining eight hundred and twenty thousand taels, here are four hundred and one thousand taels, you can count them. ”
"Oh. Thank you Lu Gongzi. Lan Xin glanced at the box lightly and said with a smile. The voice was calm and indifferent, so much silver, did not stir up more ripples in her heart. It seems that when I got it, I accepted it calmly, and I didn't feel sorry for not getting it.
Lu Zhendong looked at Lan Xin's clear and bright eyes, and confirmed the thoughts in his heart even more. Playing with the teacup in his hand, he smiled and said, "Compared to the girl's life-saving grace, these silver are nothing at all. ”
"Didn't Lu Gongzi think that I was taking the opportunity to blackmail?" Lan Xin asked playfully as he looked at the person opposite. Four hundred and ten thousand taels of silver were pushed to others, and their brows did not wrinkle. Either you're very rich and don't care about any of that. Either they are scheming and their emotions are not easily exposed. Lan Xin felt that the person on the other side had both.
Lu Zhendong looked at Shang Lanxin's smiling eyes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled, and he raised a gentle smile that he didn't even notice. said in a low voice: "The girl is acting above board, how can I think about it too much?" Seeing Lan Xin raising his eyebrows and looking puzzled, Lu Zhendong smiled and said, "In addition to giving money today, what I also want to tell the girl is that in fact, I am the owner of the impostor's fleet." ”
Lan Xin's raised brow just lowered and raised it again, and his eyes quickly rolled a few times. Immediately, a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of vigilance and said: "In fact, although the ancestor of the Yu family started from the sea, after all, after that disaster, the Yu family has been greatly injured. Although we also want to find a way out, we will never do anything that is beyond our means. "In other words, we won't steal business from impostors.
Lu Zhendong leaned back in the chair seemingly casually, but actually took in Lan Xin's expression and didn't miss any subtle changes in her face. He said that he was the real owner of the impostor, and there was only caution in her eyes, not surprise, obviously she had known about this matter for a long time. It seems that the Yu family still has some background, which also gives her more ability to protect herself.
He stopped playing with the cup, and drank all the tea in it with his hand, and no one could understand the tension in his heart now. He tried his best to keep his voice calm, and said with a smile: "From the time when you asked people to spread the word that as long as we took out half of the goods on the ship, we could bring us back to the Great Sect Dynasty, I knew that in addition to telling us, as long as the Mao family took out half of the ship's goods, today's life-saving kindness would be written off." In addition, you are also hinting that you will not meddle in the big maritime business. ”
"Then why did you say that just now?" Lan Xin was a little puzzled for a while, and his heart was even more vigilant.
Lu Zhendong put away the smile on his face, looked at her quietly, and said in a low voice: "Because I want to tell you, as long as you want to do." I'll do my best to help you do that. His voice was not high, but calm and determined. The tone is not hurried or slow, like a gurgling mountain spring.
But Lan Xin felt that something had hit her heart again, which caught her off guard, and her whole heart was in chaos. She squinted her eyes slightly and looked at him coldly. In the face of his calm and serious expression, her heart was flustered again, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Lu Zhendong looked at Lan Xin's blue and white face, and regretted it a little in his heart, he was anxious. But if I don't explain it clearly today, I'm afraid that this knot will never be unraveled if it is buried. In a deep voice, he said, "I know I was impulsive today, but I don't regret it. Lan Xin, maybe you don't remember that snowy night, but that scene has always haunted my mind. The heat of that bowl of wontons warmed my whole body.
Later, whenever night fell, I would go there and wait, hoping that you would show up again. I will also go and eat a bowl of ravioli silently, looking forward to meeting you. And ······"
"Don't say it!" Lan Xin's face was calm, and she interrupted Lu Zhendong's words in a cold voice, her heart was very confused, so she coldly ordered the eviction, "Lu Gongzi has been out for so long today, it's time to go back." I ······"
"Lan Xin. Lu Zhendong hurriedly interrupted her, for fear that he would never have a chance to speak in the future. Lowered his voice and apologized, "I know I was reckless, but I don't regret it. "I picked up the teacup and just brought it to my mouth, only to find that the cup was empty for some time. He sighed and put down the cup, "At that time, when I knew that you were Rong Jing's fiancée, although my heart hurt, I didn't think about ruining your life in the past. Now too, I won't bother your life, but I'm always there for you when you need me. ”
Lan Xin looked at Lu Zhendong's somewhat gloomy back that was gradually moving away, and some unfamiliar feelings came to his heart.
