043 He Xiaozhi's conversation
I never thought that there would be such a scene in front of me, the woman I once had an affair with and my current girlfriend, who could basically be determined as a fiancΓ©e, bumped into each other.
The point is that the two people don't know each other.
Bai Lu stood up and looked at Yu Miao, her face turning white.
My mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of me, and within three or five seconds, I had made a decision, no matter what, I couldn't let Bai Lu misunderstand.
Walking up to Bai Lu, I reached out and grabbed her arm and said to Miao: "Bai Lu, let me introduce you, this is my original friend Yu Miao, we haven't seen each other for almost three years." β
Bai Lu's face softened a little, and now it was Yu Miao who turned pale.
I said to Yu Miao again: "Yu Miao, this is my fiancΓ©e Bai Lu." β
After speaking, I didn't wait for her to have any reaction, so I said directly: "We still have a dinner in the evening, I really don't have time to catch up with you today, and besides, you didn't inform me in advance." Which hotel to stay in now? I'll contact you tomorrow? I said and handed my current business card to Yu Miao, "Do you still have my mobile phone?" Leave one for now, and call me tomorrow. β
After saying that, without waiting for her to react, I walked out of the door with Bai Lu.
Bai Lu is a willful lady, parking never into the underground garage, after we got into the car on the side of the road, through the rearview mirror I saw Yu Miao slowly out of the revolving door, and then stood on the crowded sidewalk to watch our car.
Bai Lu didn't have any doubts about my cousin, so she started the car and said, "This friend of yours is also quite interesting, you can run over without saying anything in advance, and you don't ask what is going on, maybe it's urgent." β
I hesitated for a moment and said, "We haven't seen each other in three years, so what's the urgency?" β
Bai Lu smiled helplessly and said, "I think she doesn't seem to be just a friend to you." β
My heart moved, and I turned my head to look at her, not knowing what she meant by this.
"She looks at you differently." Bai Lu said lightly.
I really didn't expect that Bai Lu would be able to see this, and if she wanted to explain it but didn't know where to start, she would tell the truth directly? What will Bai Lu think of me? In order to achieve the purpose, the layout began a few years ago?
After saying this, she stopped talking and concentrated on driving.
I thought for a moment and smiled and asked, "What do you think is different?" β
"Women are very sensitive, especially in this matter. However, I can see that you don't have any feelings for her, otherwise you wouldn't have sent her away so lightly" Bai Lu skillfully turned the steering wheel and said to me, "If we have more time tonight, I'll let you talk to her, but make an appointment to have dinner with my family, let's do it another day." β
"I really didn't have anything to do with her, it was just a partnership." I said to Bai Lu.
She looked back and smiled, "I know, I believe in you." β
Then she turned around and drove again, and I felt a little empty.
With Bai Lu's temper, if she yells at me or loses her temper directly at this time, I can understand, at most I can explain it after coaxing. What I was most afraid of was her willful temper, but at this time, she suddenly calmed down.
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of the night I had with Yu Miao.
If Yu Miao told her about this, how would Bai Lu react?
Along the way, both of us were silent. I thought about it, after tonight, I would tell Bai Lu about the past between me and Yu Miao, in front of her, I didn't want to have a misunderstanding because of concealing the original matter.
This kind of thing, I said it myself, it is better than her inquiring about it herself or hearing it from Yu Miao's mouth. In that case, I'd be too passive.
"Here we are." I was still thinking about things, Bai Lu whispered, parked the car and helped me unbuckle my seat belt.
I took the opportunity to hold her hand and said, "Lulu, don't take it to heart, what happened between me and Yu Miao before, after tonight, I will tell you how you are, it's actually really simple." β
"Okay." She nodded in response.
Every time I see Bai Linqi, I am a little nervous, not for anything else, for him to look at my eyes. Compared with He Zelin, the person I am more afraid of is Bai Linqi.
He has been ignoring the company's affairs for several years, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an ordinary old man who raises flowers and birds to spend his old age, but I know he is not.
He looked at me with a gentle and distant look in his eyes, and in the depths of his eyes there was defensiveness and disdain for me.
I'm sincere with Bai Lu, and I hope he sees this one day sooner.
The Bai family's dinner has always been prepared by the aunt, and Bai Linqi has been maintaining his health in recent years, so the table is full of vegetarian dishes with all colors and flavors, which is much simpler than other families.
During the meal, their family had no habit of chatting, and after eating in a blink of an eye, Bai Linqi called me into his study.
Before going upstairs, Bai Lu shook my hand vigorously and said, "Don't worry, my dad is not a tiger, he can't eat you, don't worry, he is just looking for you to talk about future plans." β
"Well, I see, don't worry." I said to Bai Lu.
Entering the study, Bai Linqi was making tea.
Today's rich people, as long as they have leisure, will think about how to be elegant, and Bai Linqi is no exception. I used to investigate Bai Linqi's family history before chasing Bai Lu, although it was very clean, but it can't be concealed that in the first few years, he started by buying steel.
In the years when real estate was just getting started, steel was a lucrative industry. But in the imperial capital, if you want to expand your business rapidly, how can you do it without some skill and scheming.
In fact, there are many things that do not need to be investigated, and people who do business know that it is impossible to operate a company to this scale in just twenty or thirty years with complete legal compliance.
Bai Linqi saw me come in and said to me, "Sit down, there are too many things to talk to you about during this time." β
"Hello uncle." I called out and sat down across from him.
The tea he brews now is Pu'er, which is also the most common variety that everyone drinks after dinner. He poured me a glass and said, "How have you been with Lulu lately?" β
"We're fine." I looked at him and replied carefully, "I've been a little busy lately, and I have too little time to spend with Lulu." β
"The current situation of the two of you is to use reality to force me to compromise, and you also know that what men hate the most is the choice of last resort." He said.
My heart sank, and I didn't know what he was saying at such a time.
"Uncle, I'm sincere to Lulu, and after all this time, you should be able to see that I don't have any other ideas. My own company is doing well now, and I will definitely give her a good life in the future. I said.
Bai Linqi listened to me and smiled: "It's not that I don't trust your ability in this area, I think your family is incomplete since childhood, so I don't know how much you can give Lulu in marriage." She is my spoiled daughter, and I don't know how long I will live when you actually get married. Do you understand my concerns? β
I immediately understood what he meant, he wanted me to make a promise to Lulu in front of him for a lifetime.
"If you do come together in the future, what guarantee can you give her?" Bai Linqi looked at me, "I'm a man, don't talk to me with feelings." β
I choked to death, thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, what do you think I should do?" β
"I've investigated, Hanhua is your own company, the so-called shareholders are all named, you can transfer Hanhua to Lulu's name, as for the ones you got from the He Group, you keep them for yourself. In the future, a hundred years from now, my daughter will at least have a little financial guarantee that she will not end up with nothing. Bai Linqi paused here when he said this, "Of course, I hope that you can last a long time, but what you have done recently makes me feel uneasy about you." I'm also from your age, and I know that when you have feelings, you can say anything, but who can guarantee that if you have feelings, you will have feelings for life? β
After he finished speaking, I felt very depressed.
I endured the anger in my heart and didn't explode, after all, he was Bai Lu's father.
Let me transfer Hanhua to Bai Lu's name! He can really say this, Hanhua is my only way back, if it is transferred to Bai Lu, what will happen to me in the future, what if she leaves me?
"I know it's not that easy to decide, think again. If you transfer Hanhua to Lulu, I will agree to your engagement, and I will try to help you with what you are doing now. If you don't think Lulu is as important as Hanhua, you better not continue. After all, I don't want my daughter to follow a man who could have problems at any time. Bai Linqi said again.
The purpose of his words was very simple, to let me give Bai Lu an explanation financially.
I really can't afford to make this confession.
"Uncle, is there no other way than this?" I asked.
He shook his head and said: "I didn't mean to embarrass you, now He Zelin's attitude towards you is also very clear, you will not have a backer in the future, and I am not used to what you are doing now." Men can be informal, but they can't ignore the bottom line. If it weren't for Lulu's devotion to you, no matter how many Hanhua you came up with, I wouldn't have agreed to your marriage. β
"Regardless of the bottom line?" I asked rhetorically.
He looked up at me, and his gaze changed suddenly: "Attack on your own nephew, first medicine, and then kidnapping, aren't you ignoring the bottom line like this?" β
My heart trembled and I asked bitterly, "Did Lulu tell you that?" β
"Do you need Lulu to say? She came home and said the good side of you, and never mentioned it. If I want to marry my daughter, I naturally have to know 100% about this person. To be honest, I'm not happy with you, but my daughter is happy with you, and I have no choice but to give Lulu a guarantee financially. You think I'll care about your company? He smiled, "I just want you to put what you think is the most important thing on the same scale as Lulu to see which way you lean more." β
