Lu Zaiyuan chased after her and continued to tease her: "Three meals a day, it's just my stomach that fills up." The little monster in my heart, but I need you to feed it yourself! ”

Nanxi stomped his feet angrily: "Hey! Is it good to pay attention to the occasion? If you do this again, I'm leaving! ”

Lu Zaiyuan succeeded in his mouth and shook his head with satisfaction: "Alas! There is still a long way to go! Fill my stomach first! ”

The two of them bickered, one after the other, into a small coffee shop next to the painting shop.

This small shop is located next to the Academy of Fine Arts, and its main customers are students of the Academy of Fine Arts, so the food is very affordable. The coffee is too bitter, the cake is too sweet, and the stuff is not too tasty.

But Lu Zaiyuan is very happy.

Since he was chased to Macau by Xin Ping's serial deadly calls, this is his happiest and happiest morning. Nanxi, who was sitting opposite him, had a bright face and a gentle look in his eyes, as if there was no sad past between them.

"Did your mom get to the U.S.?" As if chatting about home, she mentioned his mother.

He swallowed a mouthful of the overly sweet cake, took a sip of coffee, and nodded: "Yes, she has arrived, I called her, and everything is fine." Pei Tianming arranged for someone to receive her over there and take care of her, and when she settled down, she would go for a medical examination. She herself was quite excited, probably because she hated her face, or she was extremely dissatisfied with her life. But she didn't understand that changing her face couldn't change her life...... Let her go, as long as she's happy. ”

Nanxi didn't comment on this matter, so he changed the topic: "You still call him Pei Tianming?" He has admitted that you are his son, when are you going to change your name to Daddy? ”

Lu Zaiyuan's eyes darkened, he lowered his head to eat, and was silent for a while before he said: "Dad is a great word, and the real meaning of this title lies in love and responsibility. Pei Tianming doesn't deserve this title, he only loves himself, he is a selfish person. ”

"You can't say that, can you? I think Pei Tianming still values you very much, I saw him at the gate of the court that day, and his eyes were full of pride and pride when he looked at you. Nanxi said.

Lu Zaiyuan shook his head: "He values me, just because I am a son, my surname is Pei, and my future child will inevitably be surnamed Pei." In the final analysis, what he cares about most is not my son, but whose hands his family property will fall into in the future. You can see Pei Jiaoqian, she is his biological flesh and blood, she grew up beside him, but he has been ignoring her existence. If I wasn't his son, but his daughter, what would happen to me? ”

Nanxi did not answer.

Originally, it was also small talk, and it would be bad to pull the topic to an unpleasant place. Lu Zaiyuan must have hated Pei Tianming in his heart, which Nanxi could feel. He was willing to stand by Pei Tianming's side and admit that he was that person's son, and he was ** for his mother.

Some hatred is deeply rooted in the heart and cannot be easily removed.

Lu Zaiyuan Nanxi stopped talking, and he continued to say: "But there is one thing I want to tell you, Pei Tianming will hold a press conference in a few days, and he will announce that I have officially entered Tianming Logistics, and my identity is vice president." The previous work was all foreshadowing, and the real drama was about to be staged. ”

"The big play? Why do you use this word? Nanxi felt that Lu Zai had a deep meaning in his words, "Pei Tianming is still sincere to you, right?" After all, the fruits of his life's struggle will finally be handed over to you. ”

Lu Zaiyuan hooked his lips and smiled meaninglessly: "The result of a lifetime of struggle? Hehe...... However, after I officially arrive, he will spare a lot of energy and move to Zhao's Entertainment. I don't know how angry Pei Tianming has been with Zhao Liangmao for most of his life, I think he is determined to win Zhao's entertainment, and he won't stop if he doesn't make Old Man Zhao angry. ”

"Oh...... I heard that Zhao Liangmao and his daughter hold more than half of the shares of Zhao's Entertainment, these two people will never transfer their shares to Pei Tianming, so what can Pei Tianming do? Nanxi asked casually out of curiosity.

Lu Zaiyuan didn't think about it, so he answered Nanxi's question: "Actually, Pei Tianming has been acquiring the shares of Zhao's Entertainment through an agent since very early on, but he didn't make much action at that time, for fear of attracting Zhao Liangmao's attention." After the old man fell, Pei Tianming began to be unscrupulous, and as of yesterday, he had won contracts for the transfer of shares by several major shareholders......"

"I guess you've done a lot for him." Nanxi interjected and muttered.

When Lu Zaiyuan heard her say this, he knew that she must have read the blue file in the safe. When he asked her to pick it up, he didn't intend to hide it from her. So he frankly admitted: "Yes, if it wasn't for me and my mom's early efforts, he wouldn't have gone so well." Shopping malls are like dye vats, no one can stand up to scrutiny, although it is not ethical to pick up people's privacy, but sometimes this method is really useful. ”

"So what? Even if he gave it all to him, he would not be able to defeat Zhao Liangmao. Nanxi said.

Lu Zaiyuan smiled faintly: "Don't forget, Zhao Liangmao transferred 5% of the shares to Pei Jiaoqian's name two years ago. As long as you get this 5%, you will break the situation of absolute control by Zhao Liangmao's father and daughter. ”

"Pei Jiaoqian won't let it...... Even if she can't withstand the pressure, isn't there still Deng Jiaxiang? I heard that Zhao Xinyao was not guilty of Deng Jiaxiang's past and accepted him to continue to be his son-in-law, just so that he could support Pei Jiaoqian. ”

"Humph! What's this...... It depends on how ruthless Pei Tianming can be to his daughter. Lu Zaiyuan said it here, and he didn't go any further. He ate the last bite of the cake, drank all the coffee, and said: "I still have something to do, you should also go to work, you, the vice president of Zhimei, will be Zhimei's big housekeeper from now on, I can't spare the energy to take care of things over there for a while, you should worry more." ”

"Speaking of Zhimei...... Actually, I don't think you need to keep it anymore. When you bought Zhimei, you wanted to have a proper identity to approach Pei Tianming. Now that you have a bigger career, Zhimei is a drop in the bucket compared to Tianming Logistics. So you don't have to keep it for me, if you want to sell it, go ahead. I'm not a vice president, I can go back to the media department as a small white-collar worker, I can bend and stretch, you don't have to worry about me. Nanxi said, shrugging his shoulders easily.

Lu Zaiyuan stretched out his hand across the table and patted her on the cheek: "Little woman! Don't overthink it! Take care of Zhimei for me! Pei Tianming and I may not have to go anywhere, maybe when we fall out, with Zhimei here, I still have a way out, and I have a bowl of rice to eat. ”

"Oh......" He thought so, and it seemed that he was making himself amorous, "Well, although I, the vice president, am in charge of the president's job, for the sake of you buying my sister the best painting tools, I won't ask you for a raise!" Let's go! Go to work! ”

The two men then left the coffee shop, got into their own cars, and went to work.

As the New Year approaches, work is very busy. As soon as Nanxi arrived at the company, all kinds of things came one after another. She was so busy that she was about to fly, and she didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

In the evening, at the annual meeting of a related customer, she had to go to socialize and drank a lot of wine.

Liao Yijiang accompanied her and drove her home. He said nothing about the events of the night before.

Nanxi is most at ease with Liao Yijiang, he is a very measured person, even if he was at her house that day, he and Lu Zaiyuan argued, but after the incident, he never raised embarrassing questions and requests for her.

But his intentions for himself are too obvious, and Nanxi will still be uneasy. With her current thoughts, it was impossible to have any emotional response to him. He helped her a lot, and she was afraid of hurting him, which made her quite troubled.

A few days ago, she promoted Xiao An to Liao Yijiang's assistant, and she hoped that Xiao An's youthful vitality could infect Liao Yijiang. Xiao An was excited about this matter, but Liao Yijiang was indifferent, and he also had a businesslike face towards Xiao An.

Today, she drank wine, and he didn't drink a drop of wine.

He personally drove her to the doorstep. After getting out of the car, he saw two cars parked at the door, which he recognized, one was Lu Yuanyuan, and the other was Deng Jiaxiang's.

He pointed to the two cars and said to Nanxi: "Wake up the bar, your house is going to be lively again, can you still handle it?" Do you want me to go in with you? ”

Nanxi held his groggy head and frowned in annoyance.

She was not surprised at all when a car appeared in front of her house. He had already stated last night that he would stay camping in a tent in the yard of her house until Nanhe accepted him as his brother-in-law.

What she didn't understand was why Deng Jiaxiang came to do it at such a late hour?

He hadn't been seen in front of her since the last time he came to her house and asked her to help find out the news. First, he is indeed very busy, the old people of Zhao's entertainment who were originally entrusted by Zhao Xinyao to take care of him have recently defected, he is tired of coping, overstretched, and in a very embarrassing situation. Second, he was very disappointed in Nanxi, and felt that Nanxi was sorry for him, and this anger had been held in his heart.

Of course, he will still visit Nanhe when he has time, but he will avoid meeting her when Nanxi is not at home.

Nanxi didn't see him, but he felt relaxed. With Zhao Chufang here, Nanhe's emotions are still under control, and she doesn't have to take Nanhe to see Deng Jiaxiang.

But tonight, it's so late, he is still in her house, and he appears at the same time as Lu Zaiyuan, what is he going to do?

Nanxi opened the door and entered the house with apprehension.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Lu Zaiyuan and Deng Jiaxiang sitting on the sofa opposite them, and Zhao Chufang accompanied Nanhe, fiddling with the painting tools on the carpet. Nanhe is very happy, for her, painting tools are her best toys, and drawing is her favorite game.

Nanxi walked over and found that the painting tools on the floor were not only those that Lu had bought in the far day, but also many more things.

As soon as she wanted to ask, she saw Deng Jiaxiang suddenly squat down, divide five by two, and divide those painting tools into two. He pushed one of them in front of Nanhe, pushed the other one far away, and said to Nanhe: "Xiaohe, these are the ones that Brother Jiaxiang bought for you, and those are bought by bad people, you can't ask for them, you know?" ”

Nanhe glanced blankly at the paintbrush in his hand and asked Deng Jiaxiang, "What about this?" ”

Deng Jiaxiang snatched the paintbrush from her hand and threw it away: "This is also bought by bad people, the person who bought it has ulterior motives, you can't paint a good picture with it, don't touch ......"

Nanxi really couldn't listen to it anymore, she pushed the painting tools that Lu Zaiyuan bought in front of Nanhe's eyes, and then she said to Deng Jiaxiang very seriously: "Deng Jiaxiang, why do you instill your own likes and dislikes into Xiaohe, Xiaohe always tells me how a certain bad person is, is it all what you taught?" What did you teach her all those days when she was around you? ”

Deng Jiaxiang was stunned by the question, his expression froze, his eyes drifted away from Nanxi's face, and he looked away: "The things I taught her are naturally the things I think are right." She is as simple as a blank sheet of paper now, I am afraid that she does not distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, and falls into the hands of some people. ”

Nanxi remembered what he heard from Dr. Zhou in the morning, and finally understood why Nanhe called him a bad person when he saw that Lu was far away.

But she thought that Deng Jiaxiang might just tell Nanhe that he was a bad guy just because he was disgusted with Lu Yuan. Although the consequence of this incident was to deepen Nanhe's bad impression of Lu Zaiyuan, causing Nanhe to become more and more unacceptable to Lu Zaiyuan. But she really didn't think that Deng Jiaxiang would have any deeper evil purpose.

Despite this, Nanxi was reluctant to let Nanhe contact Deng Jiaxiang again. She thinks this matter is so terrible, if Deng Jiaxiang suddenly starts to hate her one day, and then he tells Nanhe that his sister is a big villain, and then he takes Xiaohe away, won't she have no way to recover it at that time?

She was angry, but she didn't say anything about it. She just said lightly: "Deng Jiaxiang, I used to thank you for taking care of Xiaohe, and I was very sorry to go. I know that your status is very different now, and you are very busy with work, so you don't have to visit Xiaohe in the future. She's really better now, and she can listen to what I say, so I don't dare bother you anymore. ”

Deng Jiaxiang immediately jumped up: "Nanxi! What do you mean by that? Now that the river is good, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”

Lu Zaiyuan sat next to him and didn't interject. Seeing that Deng Jiaxiang suddenly started a fire at Nanxi, and pointed at Nanxi's nose with his finger, he stood up, pressed Deng Jiaxiang's hand down, and said, "I listened to what you meant, I want to settle accounts with Xiaoxi, right?" You can rest assured that you will naturally be rewarded for your efforts. Don't say anything about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, what do you want, it's better to say it directly. ”

"I ......" Deng Jiaxiang was speechless.

He knew exactly what he wanted, but he couldn't say it.

In the morning, he received a call from Dr. Zhou, which made him panic all day. Of course, he has been flustered lately, because everything is beyond his ability, and he is tired of coping, and his body can barely bear it after recovering from a serious illness.

Money-wise, he's actually working on it. He doesn't have much determination and sense of responsibility, he wants to keep the family business for Zhao Liangmao and Zhao Xinyao, in fact, he can't be Pei Tianming's opponent, he knows this. Zhao Xinyao left him and entrusted him with great things, what kind of intentions he had from the beginning. So he understands that he doesn't have much time and has no choice but to start early.

As Nanxi said, he has been very busy lately. As Zhao Xinyao's son-in-law and Pei Jiaoqian's husband, he must appear on the occasion he should appear, and he must have the attitude he should take. On the surface, his words and actions are bound to conform to the public's expectations of his identity. But he didn't pay too much attention to these things, and what he spent a lot of effort on was something that couldn't be put on the table.

For feelings, he has almost no hope. Everything was destroyed by his own hands, and even if he was unwilling, he had no power to return to the sky. But what he could not get, he did not want to see his enemies get.

For this matter, he had a plan. It's just that he's been too busy lately to spare the energy to implement his plan.

Dr. Zhou suddenly called today, scaring him out of a cold sweat. All day, he had been thinking about it, and in the evening, he finally couldn't help it and decided to come and probe Nanxi's mouth.

I didn't want him to come early, I didn't see Nanxi, but I bumped into the road in the distance.

What particularly annoyed him was that Lu Zaiyuan actually bought a gift for Nanhe, and it was the same as his gift! This made him even more nervous, and he felt that something was getting out of his control.

This feeling annoyed him, and the anger burned out his brain. So he forgot the purpose of his visit and quarreled with Nanxi.

Now in the face of Lu Zaiyuan's questioning, he was speechless.

Yes, he scolded Nanxi for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, didn't he expose his deep selfish thoughts? As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to announcing to the people present that he had a purpose and intention to take care of Nanhe.

It must have been his recent overwork and brain crash that he would say such suspicious words. The words had already come out, and he regretted it, and he didn't know how to redeem it for a while, so he suddenly became irritable.

He ignored the road and didn't look at Nanxi, he suddenly rushed to Nanhe, pulled her arm, and pulled her up: "Xiaohe, Brother Jiaxiang will take you away, this home is no longer suitable for you to stay!" ”

Nanxi didn't expect him to make such an astonishing move, so he hurriedly went to stop: "Deng Jiaxiang!" You let go of the creek! What are you doing? ”

"I'm going to take Xiaohe away, you only think about men in your heart now, and you don't pay attention to this sister at all, she will have an accident with you sooner or later. I treat Xiaohe as my own sister, I can't watch Xiaohe have an accident, so I'm going to take her away! Deng Jiaxiang spoke, dragging the river and about to go out.

Lu Zaiyuan grabbed Deng Jiaxiang's collar and brought him back. Zhao Chufang hugged Nanhe and pulled her back, trying to separate her from Deng Jiaxiang.

Nanhe didn't understand what was going on, his face turned white with fright, and he shouted vigorously: "Brother Jiaxiang...... Brother Jiaxiang ......"

"Follow me! My sister doesn't love you anymore! Go with Brother Jiaxiang! In the future, I will live with Brother Jiaxiang! Deng Jiaxiang lost control of his emotions and yelled.

Nanhe listened to him and began to struggle, wanting to get rid of Zhao Chufang and rush to Deng Jiaxiang's side. But Zhao Chufang has so much strength that she can't break it at all.

Her mind was in turmoil, she couldn't hear any other voice, only Deng Jiaxiang's words tumbling in her ears: "Xiaohe follow me...... Come with me......"

She wanted to go with him, but she couldn't get close to him. She was hugged to death, and Deng Jiaxiang's hand was slowly letting go. She was so anxious that it seemed like ten thousand thorns were piercing her brain at the same time, and she screamed in pain: "Ah!! ”

Nan Xi saw that her sister's face was pale, cold sweat was dripping, she screamed and jumped like crazy and struggled, seeing that Zhao Chufang was about to lose control of her. Looking at Deng Jiaxiang again, he was still desperately holding on to Nanhe, repeating the sentence as if reciting a spell: "Xiaohe will follow me......."

Nanxi was extremely angry, grabbed a fruit knife on the coffee table, rushed to Deng Jiaxiang's side, and put the tip of the knife against his neck as soon as he raised his hand: "Deng Jiaxiang!" I'll kill you! ”

The tip of the knife sank into Deng Jiaxiang's flesh, and the cold touch of real metal made him sober up instantly. His heart trembled, his whole body trembled, and he immediately let go of Nanhe, took a few steps back, and glared at Nanxi: "Xiaoxi!" You are crazy? You're going to kill me? ”

Nanxi felt sorry for her sister, she was angry, she didn't say a word, and pounced on Deng Jiaxiang with a fruit knife.

Lu Zaiyuan hugged her, held her wrist with a knife, and yelled at Deng Jiaxiang: "You still don't want to get out of here?" Get out! ”

The scene was completely out of control, Deng Jiaxiang didn't have time to think about it, so he ran out of the door.

After he left, Nanhe suddenly fell into a helpless panic, she cried and screamed, scratching and scratching at Zhao Chufang who was hugging her.

Nanxi hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Chufang, and Lu Zaiyuan picked up the phone and called Dr. Zhou, asking her to come quickly.

The three of them finally grabbed Nanhe and sent her back to the room. Zhao Chufang pressed her the bed, and spoke to her in a soft tone: "Don't be afraid, Xiaohe, I'll accompany you, I'll sing to you, don't you like to listen to ryroad the most?" I'll sing you ryroad......"

It's hard for Zhao Chufang to sing such a gentle song in such a situation.

By the time Dr. Zhou arrived, Nanhe was sweating profusely, and he was no longer as crazy as he was just now. She just grabbed Zhao Chufang's shirt and chattered vigorously: "Brother Jiaxiang...... Brother Jiaxiang ......."

In this case, there was no other way to deal with it, and Dr. Zhou gave her a sedative before leaving.

After a while, the sedative began to work, and Nanhe fell asleep.

Zhao Chufang was already sweating from exhaustion, he moved down from the bed, wiped a handful on his forehead, and looked at Nanhe distressedly: "Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen Senior Sister Xiaohe like this, she must be frightened." ”

Nanxi wiped the tears on his face and held Zhao Chufang's hand: "Fortunately, you are here, you have really helped me a lot, thank you." ”

Zhao Chufang smiled: "Fortunately, I have such a face, and I can also exert the effect of sedatives at critical moments." But looking at Mr. Deng's performance today, I'm really sad that I look like that. ”

"Forget it, don't mention him today, I'll guard the river, you all go to sleep." Nanxi sat down on the edge of Nanhe's bed, looked at her sister's red nose from crying, her heart was sour, and tears fell again.

Zhao Chufang walked over and pulled up Nanxi: "Sister Xiaoxi, I don't have anything to do during the day, I can sleep a lot." You still have to go to work during the day, I'll accompany Sister Xiaohe, you go to sleep. ”

Lu Zaiyuan also came over and hugged Nanxi's shoulder: "Seeing that your face is so bad, go take a shower and sleep." Leave Xiaohe to Xiao Zhao to take care of, believe him. ”

Nanxi was persuaded by the two of them to leave Xiaohe's bedroom and go back to her own room.

She was still wearing a work suit, and the buttons had been torn off by Xiaohe. Just now, she was busy and sweaty, and now it was sticky and greasy on her skin, which was very uncomfortable.

She went into the bathroom, quickly took a hot shower, washed away all the panic and exhaustion, and walked out in cotton pajamas.

Just now, Lu Zaiyuan sent her back to the room, but he didn't see his figure at the moment, could he be gone?

She went out of the room to the living room, and looked out the window to see that the tent had been set up in the courtyard and the lights were on in the tent.

He should be inside.

She opened the door and went out, came to his tent, and said, "Or...... You just go into the house and sleep...... Since your lease has not yet expired, the room on the second floor ...... You can still stay. ”

The door to the tent opened, and Lu Ziyuan came out and stood in front of her.

She regretted it a little, and felt that she was too impulsive to agree to him to live in the house. So she said, "Tonight only....... Xiaohe has been sedated, and it is estimated that he will sleep until tomorrow morning......" 166 Reading Network
