Chapter 123: Sharing Joys and Sorrows
Lu Xi's imprisonment is neither good nor bad news for Qiao Yihai, since the moment Lu Xihua returned to the company, Qiao Yihai regarded her as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, long before Qiao Yixia mentioned her, he had conducted a detailed and comprehensive investigation of this Lu's genuine daughter, this is a fierce rival that should not be underestimated, once she has a firm foothold in the Lu family, it is a matter of time before she replaces Meng Qingdong, once she becomes the chairman, it is almost impossible for him to include the Lu family under his banner.
As soon as this incident came out, Meng Qingdong, in order to protect the company and stabilize the stock price, announced the news of stopping Lu Xizhu's work in Mengshi Yiqiฤ on the same day, and all the black cauldrons were carried by her alone. Shareholders have always had no opinions, easy to follow the crowd, Meng Qingdong's "righteous annihilation" move greatly restored Meng's position in the hearts of shareholders, and the stock price has rebounded slightly. As a result, Qiao Yihai's acquisition plan had to be put on hold for the time being.
Qiao Yihai did not contact Helan Qiubai again, and the contract was clearly written, as long as the acquisition was unsuccessful, the contract would be deemed invalid. said to Qiao Yihai that there was no loss at all, and he watched a big drama of the year. The relationship between Helan Qiubai and Lu Xifei's sister-in-law is very delicate, he knows that the reason that can make Lu Xifei bow his head, give in, and take the initiative to admit his guilt will not be just the company, but more reasons will focus on Helan Qiubai, but as for what the reason is, he doesn't care. He only knew that without Lu Xihua, and Meng Qingdong was now impetuous, even if Meng Shi showed signs of coming back to life now, he wouldn't be able to last long.
This circle is not small, but it is not big. Everyone says that good things don't go out, but bad things go a thousand miles. This is not true at all. Zhu Yunhuan wore reading glasses and watched the report on TV, with mixed feelings in his heart. Since the exposure of the fake drug, not only Meng's, but even he was frequently chased and intercepted by reporters, mostly asked him what he thought of the matter, he did not answer at all, until later a reporter who did not know how to speak in order to please him, carried out a personality attack on Lu Xifei, and criticized Lu Xifei for using his trust to do things that hurt nature and reason, which was really shameless, and he said to him with a black face, whether Lu Xifei was shameless He didn't know, but the reporter's behavior at the moment was really despicable.
He sighed and said to the assistant beside him, "Let her in." โ
Unlike when he first saw her, she lost her sharp look, her eyes were blue, and her whole person was deeply shrouded in gloom, not at all like the pretty girl who was full of energy in the past.
She didn't say much to greet, and after calling her Grandpa Zhu, she bent down and bowed: "Please, save her." โ
Zhu Yunhuan met with Qiao Yihai at a charity bazaar before, the man had a sweet mouth and a sword in his smile, he was really not a good stubble, his daughter didn't think much of him, he was humble and polite, and he was generous. Thinking of Lu Xifei again, Zhu Yunhuan only feels that creation makes people. These two girls, who should have been carefree, were all born in the wrong place.
"Tell me your reasoning." Save her? No matter how innocent Lu Xifei is, she is Lu Song's granddaughter after all, and his heart is probably not so broad enough to accommodate all things.
She stood in place, opened her lips slightly several times but finally closed them again, Zhu Yunhuan looked at her lost appearance, and she didn't feel good in her heart, so she had to take the initiative to say: "In this matter, you can go to Meng Qingdong, or even go to your father, but the person you shouldn't see the most is me." I don't know how much I've mentioned to you about Lu Song, but this hatred is hard for me to forget. โ
Whether it's Lu Song or his father, they all wish that Xihua would suffer more, and they would look forward to her coming back sooner. And Jiang Xiage, after all, has enough spare energy. Before coming, Qiao Yixia thought of a hundred reasons why Zhu Yunhuan rejected her, but just now Zhu Yunhuan asked her to give him a reason, but she couldn't think of any of them.
"Grandpa Zhu, please." She bent down again, and this bow, poured all her courage.
He walked up to her, looked at her with such a humble look, and sighed, "You better go back." I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it. โ
If Zhu Yunhuan promised to help Lu Xifei before because he wanted Lu Xifei to give him justice, then what could he give him? Money, Zhu Yunhuan can use money to crush Qiao's family. Right is it, now the one who asks for someone is her, and the one who is asked is him. Compared to him, he has nothing.
Not to mention Qiao Yixia who is anxious for Lucy, Charles was anxious like an ant on a hot pot after hearing the news, Psyjo's influence is big enough, but after all, he is just a foreigner, and he is not qualified to meddle in many things. After Meng Qingdong announced the news that Lu Xihua had stopped working at Meng's Yiqiฤ, Charles was furious and ruined the contract he had signed with Meng at any cost, paying sky-high liquidated damages. He was angry at Meng Qingdong's crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, falling into the well, if there was no Lu Xifei, he would not have looked at Meng Qingdong at all, let alone handed over this project to Meng's family, but now that Lu Xihua had an accident, he, as a father, ignored it and coldly watched his own flesh and blood in prison, which was really disgusting. Now that Lu Xifei has nothing to do with the Meng family, he doesn't need to worry too much, he wants to let Meng Qingdong know that Meng Qingdong can see death without saving him, and he can also stink Meng and Meng Qingdong! Lucy has the grace of reinvention for him, who wants to hurt her, he Charles is the first to disagree!
"Charles, I know you have a misunderstanding of our company, but now the matter has come to ......" In the past few days, Meng Qingdong has been calling him constantly, trying to turn the tide and annoy him to death. A few times before, he asked the front desk operator to stop him directly, but he didn't expect him to still be a thief.
"Mr. Meng, I have already paid the liquidated damages, what else do you want?"
"Mr. Charles, I'm not going to tell you about liquidated damages, I just want you to give me a chance to explain, I believe, as long as you listen to my explanation......"
"That's enough." He interrupted in a cold voice, "Mr. Meng, to be honest, I'm not interested in your company's business. I will agree to cooperate with you, but I just want to give my daughter a favor. โ
Of course, Meng Qingdong didn't expect Charles to say this, in his opinion, Lu Xifei was just a shrewd mind, not only that she had a secret connection with Charles.
"Mr. Charles, this ......"
"Mr. Meng, I don't want to have any contact with you Meng in the future. That's all I have to say, I hope you can behave yourself and stop humiliating yourself. โ
The phone hung up, and Charles thought about her confident and beautiful appearance when he first saw Luci, and his heart was surging. The appearance of this woman lit a lamp for his gloomy and hopeless life, and paved the most solid stone for his future. She is smart, kind, and not afraid of danger, which makes him like and admires him from the bottom of his heart. However, this liking has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, for Charles, Lucy has long been closer than relatives. They are like vines to each other, interdependent.
Zhu Yunhuan took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, it was another violent wind, thunder and lightning were intertwined. The weather has been bad for the past few days, which has caused him to be depressed.
"Boss, the kitchen has prepared your favorite spicy fried lamb blood and sauerkraut boiled fish today, are you bringing it to you, or are you going to eat it?"
Zhu Yunhuan shook his head: "That's it, I don't have much appetite today, you go and eat." Leave me alone. โ
Zhu Yunhuan has a private lounge in the racecourse, luxuriously decorated and elegant, and most of the time he works here and rests here, but rarely returns to the home that has no taste of home. As time passed, he had already become one with the racecourse, which could be regarded as bringing some spiritual comfort to his boring life.
The next day he woke up very early, it was not raining outside, but the sky was still gray, he went to the study after breakfast and picked up a few of Lao She's prose, flipped through them, but could not see a word. He didn't call an assistant, but broke up the accompanying bodyguards and decided to go to the north of the city to relax.
As soon as he walked out of the racecourse, he saw her sitting on the edge of the flower bed, soaking wet and her hair scattered. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dazzled, and then quickened his pace and walked over. Not for anything else, just because she is too wolf at the moment, like a homeless beggar, a pessimist who has lost hope in life, like the one he was more than ten years ago.
"Yi Xia."
She sat up and whispered, "Grandpa Zhu." โ
He was very soft-hearted, reached out and touched her hair, still wet: "You wait for me?" โ
She shook her head, "I don't want to bother you. โ
"Alas. But did you know that you've been a problem to me right now? "Ever since she had been looking for him yesterday, he had been restless, and his mind was full of thoughts about Luci. Now that I came out to relax, and saw her so wolf-bรจi, didn't it cause trouble? His heart was already in turmoil.
"I'm sorry."
"You kid, what are you going to do if I don't come out all the time? Are you just waiting here all the time? โ
She didn't know what she was thinking, she hung her head and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go back." Qiao Yixia rubbed her eyes, "Actually, I know very well in my heart that I can't do anything." But I don't want to sit at home by myself while she is suffering, enjoying freedom and comfort. There's a good chance I won't see you, but at least staying here makes me feel like I'm not a piece of crap and makes me feel like I'm at least trying. โ
Zhu Yunhuan was a little moved, but he didn't know what to say.
"I, so thankful for the heavy rain yesterday, maybe it was God's gift to me that gave me a chance to share my hardships with Xiyu."
"Yi Xia, I didn't quite understand the matter between you and Xi Fei, between you. From the perspective of our generation, it's unusual. But you can be so dedicated to each other, this true affection, really touched me. Your words resonate with me, such a white and flawless relationship, I used to have it...... It's a pity that in the world, there are many lovers who can be willing to share happiness, but there are too few who are willing to share hardships. Lu Yatou has you, which is her blessing. โ
Qiao Yixia said: "Grandpa Zhu, Xi Fei let me know that I am also worthy of love, and I can also be cared for, she made me no longer live simply for the sake of living, but for the sake of happiness." It wasn't her blessing to meet me. But meeting her used up all my luck. โ
