121 Chapter 121
For so many years, Lu Zaiyuan has always thought that if one day he can stand in front of the enemy, demonstrate to the enemy with absolute strength and advantage, and watch the other party tremble with fear, he will be very happy.
But that's not the case.
After Lu left the hospital, the sky was not particularly blue, and the sun was not particularly bright. His heart was not cleared up because of this.
On the contrary, he felt like a big stone in his heart, depressed and heavy.
As the saying goes, if you hurt a thousand, you will lose 800 yourself.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the many years of life in the past. Most of his life was spent planning and implementing revenge.
When he was young, when other classmates were squandering their youth, he was studying hard, because he couldn't live up to his mother's expectations, their enemies were so strong, he had to study hard, and he would have the ability to defeat his enemies in the future.
As an adult, he didn't even have a decent relationship, he didn't stop doing things every day, trying to make money and make himself strong. Occasionally, he would be happy, but when he got home and saw his mother's tattered face, he felt guilty about his happiness.
If the revenge is not avenged, he does not deserve to have happiness.
That's what he's always thought.
But he met Nanxi, and that woman's life was also full of tragedy, but she rarely indulged in the sad past, and most of the time, she would look forward positively.
He asked her, "Don't you want your mom and dad?" โ
She said, "When people live, they must always move forward." Carrying the burden of the past, overwhelming oneself, and struggling to move forward, is a kind of attitude to life. Unloading the burden of the past and easily completing the road of life is another attitude towards life. The past is irretrievable, but the future is completely in my control. I believe that my mom and dad have spirits in heaven and don't want their daughters to live in the shadows of the past for the rest of their lives. โ
For people like Lu Zaiyuan, who are overwhelmed by the past, Nanxi's words are simply an empowerment.
He began to seriously think about whether there was only one thing in his life that could only be revenge.
Xin Ping has always said that he has changed, but in fact, he has really changed.
Even seeing Zhao Liangmao almost burst his blood vessels in front of him couldn't make him happy.
He really wanted to run to Nanxi's side immediately and take her away from this disturbance. But he can't, even if he can leave the past, he can't leave his mother.
He drove around the road for a while before he remembered that he was going to send Pei Tianming a tape for the documentary.
He called Pei Tianming's phone: "Didn't you want the tape of that documentary?" I'll send it to you now. โ
Pei Tianming was very happy, and his tone of voice was also very enthusiastic. He said, "Come to the Golden Kirin Club, I'm talking to a friend about something related to you." โ
Lu Zaiyuan agreed, hung up the phone, and drove straight to the Golden Qilin Club.
Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to the private room where Pei Tianming was. Pushing the door in, he saw that there were three people inside, in addition to Pei Tianming, there were two other men.
Seeing him come in, Pei Tianming stood up and beckoned to him. When he got closer, Pei Tianming introduced him to the two people present: "Mr. Cao, Editor-in-Chief Yang, this is my son, how is it?" Pretty handsome, right? โ
The two hurriedly got up and shook hands with Lu Zaiyuan diligently: "Pei Gongzi is really a talent, huh?" Have we met somewhere? โ
"He's running an advertising agency, and you're media people, so it's not surprising to see him." Pei Tianming explained.
After saying hello, several people sat down separately, and Pei Tianming said to Lu Zaiyuan: "Mr. Cao and Mr. Yang are both good friends of mine for many years, and they have done a lot of positive publicity for Tianming Logistics before. I came to them today to discuss your business with them. โ
"My business? Do I have any โกโก? "The road is far away,
"You stupid boy." Pei Tianming laughed at him, "I said that I would arrange for you to enter Tianming Logistics, but because you are involved in Jiaoqian's mother's case, if you rashly expose it, the outside world will think that it is our father and son who have teamed up to calculate Zhao's Entertainment." So we need to do a bit of planning, step by step, and we need to publicize our relationship in a way that's acceptable to the public. In these matters, Mr. Cao and Mr. Yang are both professionals, and of course we have to ask them for advice. โ
The two hurriedly politely said: "Mr. Pei has won the award, it's just a small favor." โ
Lu Zaiyuan sat there, feeling awkward. Contrary to Pei Tianming's enthusiastic attitude towards him, he did not have any feelings of family affection for Pei Tianming. From the bottom of his heart, he was reluctant to enter Tianming Logistics, nor was he willing to calculate Zhao's Entertainment. But he had to sit here and listen to Pei Tianming make a careful arrangement for his future.
His current situation can be described in only one word: it is difficult to ride a tiger!
Those few are actively discussing what steps to take to gradually expose Lu Zaiyuan, how to test public acceptance, and when to publicize their father-son relationship to the world.
Because it is related to the stock price of Tianming Logistics and Pei Tianming's social image, they are very careful at every step.
Lu Zaiyuan listened silently, and occasionally Pei Tianming asked his opinion, and he said noncommittally: "Listen to your arrangement." โ
Pei Tianming didn't mind the indifference of Lu Zaiyuan. If Lu Zaiyuan is too positive and enthusiastic, that's what he should be worried about. Whether it is Xin Ping or Lu Zaiyuan, he can understand that he has a grudge against him. But he believes that the nature of father and son, family affection will eventually overcome the estrangement over the years, as long as he is sincere to his son, he will definitely touch his son's heart.
What's more, he is such a wealthy and powerful man, how tempting it is to be able to give Lu Zaiyuan an incomparably brilliant future.
He was full of confidence in himself, so he didn't doubt that Lu Zaiyuan would have two hearts at all. He is genuinely paving the way for his son's future.
After they discussed properly and the two left, Pei Tianming looked at Lu Zaiyuan: "I will definitely do my best to compensate you for the grievances you have suffered since you were a child." โ
"You don't have to worry too much, in fact, I didn't suffer much, and I was doing well. It is my mother who suffers, and if you have a way to appease her grudges, I will be indebted to you, because I want her to live a happier life. These words are the true words of the long way away.
"Your mother...... I'm afraid I'll never make it up to her. But it's not difficult for your wish to come true, in fact, as a mother, as long as she sees you living well, she will definitely be happy. โ
As Pei Tianming spoke, he opened the box that Lu Zaiyuan had brought and glanced inside: "These are the documentaries you filmed?" โ
"Yes, that's all, unedited, it's all here, whatever you want." Lu Zaiyuan flattened his hands, indicating that he did not have any reservations and concealments.
Pei Tianming didn't doubt him, but he was a little sad: "You filmed this thing, originally intended to use it against me, right?" I was one of the targets you designed to retaliate, didn't you? โ
"Yes." Pei Tianming nodded.
"Silly boy, you should have come to me earlier. If our father and son had recognized each other, things would not have been the passive situation they are today. If our father and son pinch each other, then you have really done a stupid thing that is fast for relatives and enemies. โ
Pei Tianming shook his head with emotion, closed the box, turned around and continued: "Recently, you and your mother tried not to be exposed, you were photographed last night, and today you will be on TV and newspapers, so I will be very passive." You listen to my arrangement, and first recuperate at home. โ
"Okay." Lu Zaiyuan didn't care when he entered Tianming Logistics, so he agreed happily.
"And ...... About your mother...... Do you want to think about that suggestion I mentioned this morning? Pei Tianming mentioned the face replacement surgery again.
Lu Zaiyuan frowned: "Are you trying to find an excuse to take my mother away?" You think it's a hassle for my mom to stay here, don't you? If it's exposed, she'll be a shame for you, right? So you're going to send her out of the country, aren't you? โ
"Of course not!" Pei Tianming hurriedly denied it, "You want her to be happy, and I really want to do something for her." In fact, the success rate of face replacement surgery is quite high, but I just make a suggestion, whether to go for this surgery or not, the decision is in the hands of you and your mother. โ
"Don't do it!" Lu Zaiyuan once again resolutely denied, "If it doesn't work, then my mother won't even have the same appearance as she is now, how can she live?" If it succeeds, and my mother lives with someone else's face from now on, is it still her? So forget about changing your face, and don't mention it again in the future. โ
"Good...... Good. Pei Tianming nodded.
"The film is for you, if it's okay, I'll go first." The road is far away.
After he left the clubhouse, he drove out of the city and returned to the Pei family villa.
No matter how angry he was with his mother and left her alone in the Pei family, he was still a little uneasy. After all, it was someone else's territory, and looking at the attitude of Pei Jiaoqian and Sister Song yesterday, you can know that their mother and son are not welcome in that home.
And his mother has a strange temperament, and if something happens again, it will not be good.
Therefore, he finished his own business and hurried back to Pei's house.
When he left in the morning, he had an unpleasant quarrel with his mother, and he originally planned to see Xin Ping's face when he went back. To his surprise, as soon as he entered the door, he heard the voice of talking from the living room, including his mother, He Wenwen, and the voice of a strange woman, talking happily.
He walked over and saw a young woman crouching in front of Xin Ping, lifting her skirt and gesturing at her severed limb.
"What is this?" He asked, puzzled.
Xin Ping glanced up at him and didn't make a sound. Lian Wenwen explained to him: "Your father found a very professional prosthetic institution to make a prosthetic limb for your mother at present, which is currently the most advanced in the world, I heard that it is both light and easy to walk, and what kind of carbon fiber is it, and what titanium alloy ......."
This is a good thing, Lu Zaiyuan didn't speak again, and stood aside and watched silently.
Xin Ping had never been willing to show her broken leg in front of people before, but today she was very cooperative, and she looked very comfortable no matter how the woman was at her mercy.
After sizing the prosthetic leg, the woman left.
Xin Ping was in a good mood, looked up at Lu Zaiyuan, and said, "I have something to discuss with you, you sit down." โ
Lu Zaiyuan sat across from her, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"Sister Song told me just now that before your father left in the morning, he mentioned a kind of surgery to her......
"Face swap surgery?" Lu Zaiyuan thought that if he didn't mention it, and Pei Tianming didn't mention it, Xin Ping wouldn't know about it. didn't want Pei Tianming to talk about it in front of the housekeeper Sister Song, but Sister Song was so quick to talk about it and told Xin Ping about it.
When he heard the word face replacement surgery from Pei Tianming's mouth, he felt hairy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Xin Ping was very interested in this matter, and even a little excited: "Yes, I was already desperate for this face, but I didn't expect that medicine has advanced enough to change faces, this is a new hope for people like me, right?" โ
"Mom, Pei Tianming just mentioned to me that I don't agree with you to have such an operation." Lu Zaiyuan persuaded Xin Ping, "So far, there are only a few successful face replacement surgeries in the world. This medical technology is still very imperfect, and I don't agree with you taking this risk. โ
Xin Ping disagreed: "I checked, although this kind of surgery is rarely done, but the success rate is very high. As long as a suitable donor can be found, it is still very promising. As for the risks you mentioned, I'm not afraid at all, I'm already the most unlucky person, can I be even more unlucky? Maybe I can have a relatively good face, but I won't be willing to give it a try. โ
"Mom......" Lu Zaiyuan still felt that it was not possible, and tried to persuade Xin Ping.
Xin Ping waved her hand: "You don't have to say it, I've already decided." When things are almost done here, I'll go to the United States to find the surgeon. โ
"But......" Lu Zaiyuan still can't accept that horrific face-swapping surgery.
Xin Ping didn't let him say any more: "But! The one I can't worry about is you! If you want me to feel at ease, just obediently obey and get the divorce certificate with that Nanxi before I go to the United States! โ
Lu Zaiyuan held his forehead with a headache and sighed: "Mom! Xiaoxi is a good girl, why can't you try to accept her? โ
"Son! You don't understand Mom's good intentions now, but you will understand it later. You will be one of the best young talents in the business world in the future, your future is bright, and she is just an ordinary woman without glory. You're a gem that's about to shine, you're perfect, and she's going to destroy your perfection, she's going to be your flaw, you know? The more Xin Ping spoke, the higher her voice grew.
Lian Wenwen saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, so she hurriedly dissuaded: "Okay, okay!" Ping, you are still feverish, and the wound has just been changed, so hurry back to your room to rest. โ
As she spoke, she glanced at the road.
Lu Zaiyuan moved his lips, but finally held back and didn't say anything.
He didn't speak, but Xin Ping didn't intend to let him go. She urged, "You won't do it, will you?" Don't you want to delay me, I'll call Nanxi right away and make an appointment to get the divorce certificate tomorrow. โ
Xin Ping said, grabbed the phone at hand, and dialed Nanxi.
The call went through, but no one answered. Xin Ping waited for a long time, put down the phone stupidly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Look, I don't even answer my phone, I don't know how polite!" โ
Lu Zaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this time that the phone rang suddenly. Xin Ping glanced at it and was about to reach out to pick it up, but Lu Zaiyuan took the lead and rushed over to pick up the phone: "Hey? โ
"The road is long! If there is any accident in Xiaoxi! I'm not done with you! Liao Yijiang's angry roar came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Zaiyuan was stunned for a moment, instinctively wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong: "What are you talking about?" What happened to Xiaoxi? โ
"She just went downstairs to the supermarket to buy something, and was targeted by a group of people, and she was almost kidnapped! If it weren't for the patrolman passing by, she would have met with an accident today! Liao Yijiang's voice was panicked and anxious, as if he was running on the road.
"Tie ...... Kidnap?! Lu Zaiyuan's head banged, and he was dazed for a moment, and then he came to his senses, "Where is she now?!" โ
"Where else could she be? At the police station, of course! She followed you, either into the hospital or into the police station, or was surrounded by a large number of reporters! Carrying the pages of various media on the โกโก back, being pointed at! You're her nemesis! Liao Yijiang was furious, and he didn't care that Lu Zaiyuan was his boss, and scolded him.
Lu Zaiyuan was in no mood to reply, put down the phone with a "snap", and ran out.
"Where are you going?" Xin Ping called out to him.
He didn't, rushed out without looking back, and drove straight to the police station.
On the way, he forced himself to calm down and thought carefully about the matter. Except for the Zhao family, he couldn't think of anyone else who had a reason to kidnap Nanxi.
He called Pei Jiaoqian and scolded: "Pei Jiaoqian, you dare to move Nanxi!" I can't spare you! โ
At this time, Pei Jiaoqian calmed down and said slowly on the phone: "My dear brother, you have to be careful when you speak, don't think that when you enter my house and have my father's support, you can slander me casually!" You said I moved Nanxi, what evidence do you have? โ
"I don't need proof! Xiaoxi has a hair injury, I will count it on your head! Listening to Pei Jiaoqian's tone, Lu Zaiyuan concluded that she did it.
"Dear brother, isn't it okay for you to yell at your sister like this? I want to warn you, don't think that my grandfather lives in the hospital, my mother is caught in a lawsuit, and the Zhao family is at your mercy! People have weaknesses! I know your weaknesses very well! Be careful! โ
"You ......" Lu Zaiyuan opened his mouth and wanted to scold Pei Jiaoqian a few words, but she hung up the phone.
He was anxious to see Nanxi, threw away his mobile phone, and drove all the way to the police station.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nanxi sitting across from a policeman, taking notes. Liao Yijiang sat next to her, sweating all over his head, probably just arrived.
He ran over and pulled Nanxi's shoulder: "Xiaoxi! How are you? Didn't get hurt, right? โ
As soon as Nan Xi turned his face, he saw that there were two scratches clearly on her tender white face.
Lu Zaiyuan looked at the scratches on Nanxi's face and felt distressed.
"Xiaoshio! Why not go to the hospital? Look at your face......" He said as he put his hand on Nanxi's shoulder.
Nan Xi shook his shoulders slightly, and shook his hand down. She only glanced at him, then turned her face away, did not answer him, and continued to take notes for the police.
Lu Zaiyuan was left to the side, very embarrassed. But he didn't know what to say, because he knew who did it, and he knew that he had once again involved her.
Seeing Nan Xi shrinking his shoulders and looking frightened, his heart ached. She turned her face sideways, didn't look at him at all, and answered the policeman's questions sentence by sentence.
She was wearing Liao Yijiang's suit, and the man sat next to her, holding her hand, his eyes focused on her face.
It was as if a needle had been sprinkled into Lu Zaiyuan's heart, pierced into it one by one, densely filled with pain.
With his temper, how could he tolerate other men touching his women? If it weren't for the current situation, he would have jumped up and lifted Liao Yijiang aside.
But now, he has no shame to face her, and he doesn't feel that he has a reason to be jealous at this time.
Maybe he should feel glad that when she was wronged and hurt because of his repeated implications, there was still someone by her side who protected her and helped her. Although it was very painful for him, it was better than letting her face this unwarranted disaster alone, right?
He stood beside her, but only saw her face. Her side face was so cold, and her face was tense, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally turn around and see him.
She didn't like to look at him, because he hurt her again and again, he couldn't help himself, he didn't protect her well, looking at her frightened face and the scratches on her face and hands, how many "I love you" he said was pale and weak.
At this moment, he looked at Nanxi, who was hurt, and finally understood a truth: he had never had a responsible attitude towards her from beginning to end. He thought that by loving her sincerely, he could make up for the fault of deceiving and hurting her, but this was not the case, and a heart that loved her alone could not solve the problems between him and her.
He stood beside her for a moment, still uninspiring to talk to him.
After the police asked, she stood up, pulled Liao Yijiang's suit jacket on her shoulder, lowered her head, walked past Lu Zhiyuan, walked out of the police station, and left without looking back.
Lu Zaiyuan looked at her back, and his heart was very heavy.
"Sir, do you have anything else?" When the police saw that he was standing stupidly and not leaving, they reminded him loudly.
"Is there any eyebrow in this case? Can the case be solved quickly? He asked the police.
"We'll do our best, but there aren't many clues, those people are wearing hats, and Miss Nan is frightened, and she doesn't see their faces clearly. And the car they drove was a set of license plates, which was difficult to trace. The policeman replied to him.
"Oh...... Thank you. โ
Yes, although Zhao Liangmao is sick in bed, his subordinates are still there. As long as Pei Jiaoqian gives an order, isn't it easy for those people to tie up a person? Nanxi was lucky enough to encounter a police car patrolling by, otherwise she wouldn't know where she was taken now.
Lu Zai was far away from the police station, and did not chase Nanxi's residence again.
Since she doesn't want to see him, then he will give her a quiet, anyway...... She's got someone to take care of. 166 Reading Network
