Chapter 10 Redeeming Dignity
What is Happiness?
Being able to have tomorrow is the most luxurious happiness! ââ
Xue Zuining listened blankly to the busy sound on the mobile phone, and finally realized the meaning of the man's words after three seconds of emptying his brain.
Arrive at Sunshine ÃsÊe in half an hour? Is he playing himself?
When I called his number again, I heard the voice of the mobile machine: The user you are calling is temporarily unreachable, please dial again later.
A thin layer of sweat suddenly drips out of the skin of the palm, and a slightly cool feeling spreads from the nerve endings to the bottom of the heart.
7:43 p.m. Beijing time.
In the raised window, the smell of nicotine faintly lingers with the clear breath of a man, and the special design shields the outside world from curiosity about everything in the car, but allows the people in the car to easily control the world outside the car.
Fifteen minutes later, a yellow taxi slowly approached the entrance of the community with its tail lights flashing.
The car stopped, a pair of white canvas shoes jumped down lightly, and the black pencil pants lined the girl's legs more and more slender, smiling reverently, but showing the beauty of youth.
"Thank you." Xue Zuining smiled faintly at the driver who lowered the window, and then stepped back to let the taxi turn around smoothly.
The security guard recognized her as the girl in the photo, waived the registration and immediately let her go.
In the carriage dozens of meters away, Lu Huaining's indifferent gaze followed the figure, and the corners of his lips hooked, "Follow her." â
A minute later, the white BMW brushed the girl's somewhat hurried footsteps and stopped steadily in front of the villa.
When Xue Zuining's hesitant gaze saw the long figure that stepped down from the carriage, and before he even had time to get closer, he blurted out at his back, "Mr. Lu!" â
Lu Huaining walked through the courtyard without turning a deaf ear, and walked straight to the door, his playful eyes swept over the numbers on the password lock.
On the ground, a warm palm was attached to the back of his slightly cool hand.
"Mr. Lu, I'm ......" Xue Zuining raised his head but met his eyes that seemed to be smiling, and with a glance of his eyes, he realized that the slightly cool object in his palm was not a wall but a man's hand, and he immediately withdrew it as if he had been electrocuted, but in exchange for a playful smile on the man's face.
The wind swept over her slightly embarrassed face, but her fingers calmly entered the password, the door opened, Lu Huaining gave up a position, and said lightly to her, "I don't like to stand at the door and talk about things." â
"Oh." Xue Zuining replied sullenly, and his canvas shoes rubbed slightly on the carpet at the door, confident that his shoes would not stain his expensive floor before he had the courage to enter this villa.
"Smack-" and the lock fell.
Lu Huaining changed her shoes, looked at her sitting upright on the sofa like a primary school student, put her hands on her knees in a proper manner, turned around and walked towards the wine cabinet, "What to drink?" â
When he asked this sentence, Xue Zuining's brain was still organizing language, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that he was already sitting on the sofa opposite her with a glass of red wine in each hand.
"Thank you." Xue Zuining pursed his lips and took the wine he handed over, "Mr. Lu, I'm here to ...... this time."
"It's for your mother, isn't it?" Lu Huaining took a sip of the clear liquid in the cup, "Although I can understand Miss Xue's filial piety, Miss Xue has also forgotten the essence of our businessmen, and it is never our choice to buy and sell at a loss. â
"However, there are benefits to the nursing home from the development of cooperation." Xue Zuining finally understood why he had waited for so long.
"How long? Decade? Twenty years? Lu Huaining spread his hands, "And even if the nursing home agrees to cooperate with the hospital, who can guarantee that the project development will be successful?" Who can guarantee that my money spent on international experts will not be a wasted basket? What's more, medical care has never been Shengtian's main industry, and the reason why there is Xishan Sanatorium is completely due to the personal factors of my father before his death. Once the project is carried out, if it fails, Shengtian's reputation will be damaged, so it is completely unnecessary for me to take such a risk. â
Xue Zuining looked at the calm and relaxed posture of the man in front of him, his fingers clenched little by little, and his clenched fists were holding back the man.
"Does Miss Xue feel that she has been tricked?" Lu Huaining looked at her forbearant expression, and unbuttoned the two buttons on the cuffs of her shirt with her fingers, "Can I guess what Miss Xue is thinking at the moment?" It's just that I've never prided myself on being a good person, and I originally thought that Miss Xue should have understood the meaning of my business card that day, but your EQ seems to be much lower than your IQ. â
Xue Zuining's embarrassed eyes quickly ignited anger, and his fingertips slashed at the leather sofa, but he saw the man change to a more idle posture, and his playful eyes lingered on his body unabashedly.
Lu Huaining put one arm on the back of the sofa, the tip of his nose slightly sniffed the smell of anger in the air, and his voice was lazy, "Miss Xue might as well think about it, since you can meet He Gongzi at the wine table, it is better to follow me, maybe you can change the fate of thousands of people in the future." I've never had any excessive demands on women, the only thing is to demand absolute loyalty and interest from women's bodies, and as for money, ......"
His explicit words provoked Xue Zuining to stand up, snatch the wine from his hand, and splash it at the man's face, "Dirty! â
The scarlet liquid quickly ran down the hair on his forehead, dripping onto the floor and shattering to the ground.
The eagle's eyes narrowed, but the faint eyes cut the girl's slightly angry face like a sharp blade, and the narrow eyes swept the chest that rose and fell because of anger, "This is your attitude of begging?" Lu Huaining snorted coldly, "Has no one ever told you a truth, remember to kneel and offer your dignity with your hands before begging someone!" â
"Then have you ever heard a saying that before asking someone, you must see if the other party is really a person." Xue Zuining's lowered eyes glanced at the man's wet face with disdain, "Because, not everyone, all of them are human!" â
Lu Huaining listened to her three words that were almost gritted her teeth, and smiled disapprovingly, "Since Miss Xue is so backbone, I will wait for you to redeem the dignity in my hands with money." â
Xue Zuining, who closed his eyes slightly, turned his back to the man and took a deep breath, trying to restrain his body from trembling with anger, "If dignity can be bought and sold at will, then what's the point of needing a walking corpse!" â
Lu Huaining couldn't help but applaud this woman who borrowed courage from the sky, "I didn't expect that the performance department of W University could have such an excellent talent as Miss Xue, I believe Dean Jiang will be very pleased." â
Xue Zuining's body was stunned, how much did this man know about himself? For what, at this moment, she only felt that the eyes of the man behind her were enough to completely destroy her!
Lu Huaining looked at her stiffly at the entrance, watching her slender wrist on the doorknob, but the faint voice was permeated with danger, "Remember, this door in front of you can't be open for you forever." â
In exchange, it was the girl's resolute steps.
Lu Huaining looked at the bright moonlight outside the door, the evening breeze was blowing, and the air was slowly mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, he smiled, but his eyes were heavier than the night, dignified? Xue Zuining, in my eyes, your only dignity is the dust I trample on at will!
