Chapter 21
Part21 The Man Who Betrayed Your Dad - That's Him!
As soon as Lu Nanteng pushed open the office, he saw Lu Yufei sitting on a soft chair and staring at him with raised eyes.
"Sister, why did you have kung fu today?" Lu Nanteng took the door with his backhand and said with a smile.
Compared with Lu Nanteng's happy mood, Lu Yufei's face was really not very good, she crossed her arms and hooked her lips and sneered. "If you can't see me, then I'll have to see you! Why is it that my wife is ready to abandon me, my sister who has been dependent on me for more than 20 years, before she gets married? β
Lu Nanteng smiled and apologized. "Sister, where are you talking about this? My parents went early, and I will never forget your kindness to me since I was a child. I've been too busy with business lately, and you're on vacation with your brother-in-law in the mountains, so I'm too embarrassed to disturb you! β
"Nan Teng, if you still remember that I am the sister who brought you up, just listen to my persuasion and break up with Xia Zhiyao!" mentioned Xia Zhiyao, that woman, Lu Yufei was angry, "Don't say that the Xia family is in ruins, Xia Yi is still in prison, just because she has been working at night for these days, she will definitely not be able to enter my Lu family's door!" I took care of you and cultivated you, just hoping that you would get ahead, but you fell headlong into the hands of such a low-working woman, and she even conceived someone else's child! Nan Teng, you have disappointed me so much! β
"Sister, she is clean and self-conscious, but she is just singing in the entertainment club, not what you say...... That kind of woman. Lu Nanteng's voice was still gentle, but his expression was cold, "Please don't use these words to slander her in the future." β
"I slandered her?" Lu Yufei sneered, "Is that how you talk to your sister?" β
Lu Nanteng suppressed the anger churning in his chest. "Sister, I have already decided to get married, if you and your brother-in-law come to the wedding, I and Yaoyao will naturally be happy to welcome. If you are happy in the mountains and cannot attend, Yaoyao and I will also accept your blessings from afar. β
"I will never bless you!" Lu Yufei gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Nan Teng, you sober me up, she is not worthy of you for this kind of woman!" You are now the dignified President Lu of Hongyuan Group, with a good prospect, marry her, a woman with a father in prison and an innocent past, and you are not afraid of people laughing off your big teeth when it comes out! β
"If she sings innocently, sister, can your past count as chaos?" Lu Nanteng finally couldn't help but refute.
Smack-
With a crisp sound, there was a burning pain on his cheeks, and Lu Nanteng suddenly felt sorry for the hurt he blurted out. If Lu Yufei once lived in the Huanchang just to raise him, the younger brother of the same mother, then today he used these past events to hurt her is not considered revenge.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Lu Yufei's self-esteem and pride did not allow her to shed tears, she clenched her fists, and her voice was condensed. "I'm all for your good!"
Lu Nanteng closed his eyes tiredly. "I know. But, sister, I'm no longer the little boy who needed your shelter. β
Lu Yufei felt tired, so she helped her forehead and said: "It's because my sister took the wrong path back then that I don't want you to be like me, and you also said that my past is chaotic." If you marry Xia Zhiyao, your future will definitely be chaotic! How long do you want to let people poke your backbone? What's more, she is willing to marry you now, not because she loves you. If one day she knew that Xia Yi's legs would be crippled, and it was actually caused by you, would she still marry you? I'm afraid she won't ever forgive you again until she dies! β
Lu Nanteng's heart tightened. "Sister, you can'tβ" His chest slumped, and he felt as if the sky was going to fall, "Haven't I done enough for you and my brother-in-law?" In order to repay your nurturing grace and cultivation, and for your love for Yan Shunchen, I went to the Xia family to be an undercover agent, almost killed Boss Xia, and almost regretted it for life, isn't it enough? Yan Shunchen's hatred is for Lu, why do you want me to carry it? Is this fair to me? β
Lu Yufei sat down on the sofa dejectedly, covering her face with her hands and being silent.
She once had a dark past, and it was Yan Sunchen who saved her from the endless night. Therefore, she is willing to do anything for Yan Shunchen.
She tried her best to hope that everything would go well with Yan Shunchen and that her younger brother would get better and better, and she didn't want to and couldn't accept that Lu Nanteng's future would be bleak because of Xia Zhiyao.
How can a woman who has been pregnant and miscarried, a woman who is not innocent, be worthy of her excellent brother?

"Why are you calling again?" Xia Zhiyao picked up impatiently after the phone rang for the fourth time.
"Miss Xia, don't forget, you are still a prosperous employee, absent from work for many days without reason, and confronting the boss everywhere, heh, you are very fat!"
"Can I resign?" Xia Zhiyao took a deep breath and resisted the urge to throw the phone out of the window.
"Of course you can, but according to the labor contract, you have to pay twenty times the compensation." Gu Mingcheng's voice was faint.
Xia Zhiyao's teeth creaked, and his tone was extremely unkind. "I know it, I'll pay the compensation!" She pursed her lips and hung up the call, threw her phone into the corner of the sofa, and leaned back on the sofa with a piggy pillow.
After staying quietly for more than ten minutes, the phone rang again, Xia Zhiyao silently told himself in his heart before picking up the mobile phone that if it was Gu Mingcheng this time, he would have the courage to scold him as a "reward" for his shameless behavior.
The word "Nanteng" flashed on the screen......
The gloomy mood seemed to suddenly clear, and she blinked her eyes and curled the corners of her lips. "Nanteng."
"I miss you." Lu Nanteng's voice came eagerly.
Xia Zhiyao grabbed the hair scattered behind him, bit his lip and said "um" gently.
Lu Nanteng seemed to be very dissatisfied with her reaction, and his voice was a little muffled. "Future Mrs. Lu, shouldn't you say it at this time...... I miss you too? β
Xia Zhiyao laughed twice. "Well, I miss you too."
Lu Nanteng was satisfied, his frowning brows gradually soothed, and the corners of his drooping lips gradually led to a shallow smile.
"What are you doing now?" Xia Zhiyao lay on the sofa on his back, chatting with him with a pillow in his arms.
"I'm thinking about you."
"Gee, I'll be shy if you keep saying that." Xia Zhiyao almost instantly raised his palm to cover his cheek.
Lu Nanteng smiled lowly. "Then won't I have a lot of almost shy looks like you in the future?"
Xia Zhiyao chuckled and snorted. "Are you trying to say that you will be able to practice flamboyant tongue skills in the future?"
In her soft and gentle voice, Lu Nanteng felt unprecedented happiness, he hoped that this moment could last forever, his summer distance, which belonged to him alone, stayed by his side so quietly and happily, and he could protect her for a lifetime.
"Far ...... away"
"Huh?"
"Shall we bring the wedding date forward?"
"Huh?" Xia Zhiyao didn't react for a while.
The longer the time dragged on, the less Lu Nanteng's grasp in his heart would be, and he would have to take further action if he had more dreams at night. "We're bringing the wedding forward to this month, and then we're going to get the marriage certificate tomorrow!"
Xia Zhiyao was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground. "Nan Teng, it's too sudden......"
"You don't want to marry me soon?"
"Of course not!" Xia Zhiyao pursed his lips, "But the size of the wedding dress hasn't been cut and fitted yet, the hotel hasn't been booked, and-"
"I'll take care of that." Lu Nanteng was determined, "Yaoyao, you only need to be the most beautiful bride with peace of mind, don't worry about everything else, leave it to me, okay?" β
Xia Zhiyao was silent for a moment, curled the corners of his lips as if he had made up his mind, and replied. "Okay."
Now that you've decided to start over, isn't it better to start as soon as possible?
Lu Nanteng's hanging heart gradually fell. Tomorrow, as long as you wait until tomorrow, everything will be a foregone conclusion. As long as he waits until tomorrow, he can have Xia Zhiyao forever.
It's wonderful.
*
Xia Zhiyao was worried that Lu Nanteng would have a conflict with Gu Mingcheng, so after thinking about it, he didn't tell him that he was going to Dingsheng to go through the resignation procedures. If she goes to get a marriage certificate tomorrow, then she must go to Dingsheng this afternoon to completely get rid of all relations with Gu Mingcheng, so that she can easily get married.
Well, that's it.
At noon, I had a full meal, and when I arrived at the peak, I greeted a few colleagues who knew each other and exchanged pleasantries.
The last level, Gu Mingcheng.
Xia Zhiyao knocked on the door.
"Enter."
She held her breath and pushed the door in, and Gu Mingcheng sat heroically at the mahogany desk in a silver-gray suit. Xia Zhiyao noticed a small potted plant in front of the left side of his desk.
She recognized it at a glance as her cactus, which she had carved with a knife in her left hand, so the crooked eyes of the smiling face and the corners of her mouth were slightly crooked.
When I walked in, I found that the marks of her knife carving seemed to have deepened, and those deepened marks were also crooked, making this smiling face look even more ...... Comical.
The moment she walked into the room, Gu Mingcheng closed the document and stared at her, she was wearing a khaki windbreaker and dark red boots, she was already thin, and she looked tall, and her complexion seemed to be good.
It's just that her eyes kept falling on the potted plant.
Gu Mingcheng bent his fingers and lightly buckled the table. "The original is too ugly, and I can't do anything about it as a processor."
His slightly smiling voice pulled Xia Zhiyao's thoughts back to reality, and she turned her eyes to look at him, a shallow smile still hanging on the corner of his lips. Xia Zhiyao's heart tightened, and his eyelids jumped.
When out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Swiss Army knife hanging from the string of keychains he had dropped on the mahogany tabletop, and the whole person froze in shock.
Gu Mingcheng's slender fingers picked up the saber and put it in front of him, curling his lips and smiling. "It took the hotel staff two nights to find it on the lawn."
Xia Zhiyao's breathing was a little painful, and she withdrew her stunned gaze. She couldn't help but think about why Gu Mingcheng wanted to retrieve this saber, and why he kissed her three times and twice to provoke her.
But...... She already has Lu Nanteng.
Xia Zhiyao closed his eyes for a moment, held his breath, and admonished himself. Lu Nanteng is her lover, she is getting married, she will ...... Very happy.
When she opened her eyes again, the coldness in her eyes made Gu Mingcheng feel strange and cold.
"Liquidated damages." Xia Zhiyao put a savings card on the mahogany table, "The password is six zeros, and the money is not too much and not too much to pay." β
Gu Mingcheng didn't even glance at the card, just stared at her.
Xia Zhiyao was stared at uncomfortably by his gaze, and his fingers in the pocket of his trench coat curled up, taking a deep breath. "If it's okay, I'll go to the human resources department to go through the formalities."
Gu Mingcheng was silent.
At the moment when Xia Zhiyao turned around, Gu Mingcheng pinched the savings card on the desktop and gently tapped the desktop. "The card Lu Nanteng gave you?"
"Does it matter?" Xia Zhiyao turned his back to him, and his slender figure froze in place, his body thin and stiff. "Even if I use his money, it's justifiable, isn't it? I'm going to get married to him, tomorrow. β
"Tomorrow?" Gu Mingcheng's low repetition was more like muttering to himself. He stared at Xia Zhiyao's straight back, and his voice was hoarse, "Do you love him?" β
Xia Zhiyao turned around slowly and looked at him with a light expression. "I ...... I want to marry him and live with him for the rest of my life. Feelings can be cultivated, love and affection...... The same can be done. β
Gu Mingcheng pulled the corners of his lips suddenly, walked towards her step by step, and looked down at her condescendingly, "That means you are ...... now." Not in love with him yet? So can he understand that her love for herself has never disappeared......
"It's none of your business!" Xia Zhiyao quickly took a step back to keep his distance from him, turned around and walked towards the outside of the office.
Outside the glass window was thousands of feet of red dust, Gu Mingcheng propped his hands on the windowsill, watching the long dragon-like car river flow quietly. She doesn't love Lu Nanteng...... It's good, at least after knowing the truth, you won't be sad to death.
*
Xia Zhiyao stopped a Porsche when he stopped a taxi on the street, and the window slowly rolled down, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
"Long time no see." Lu Yufei got out of the car and stretched out his hand towards Xia Zhiyao.
The unkindness of the visitor is Xia Zhiyao's first feeling, Lu Yufei never hides his disgust for herself, and Lu Nanteng insists on marrying her, so she must have had a dispute with Lu Yufei. Xia Zhiyao's heart was beating like thunder, and he raised his hand to shake it restlessly, and called "sister" softly.
Lu Yufei curled the corners of her lips. "Don't call me that, I can't afford it."
Xia Zhiyao tried his best to keep a kind smile. "You are Nan Teng's sister, I call you sister, it is a must."
Lu Yufei had a confident but almost treacherous smile on the corner of her mouth. "There's something I think you need to know."
"What?" The smile on the corner of Xia Zhiyao's lips gradually couldn't hold back, and Lu Yufei always made her feel depressed and scared.
Lu Yufei raised her eyebrows. "Do you know how your father's legs were crippled?"
Cold sweat instantly hit her back, Xia Zhiyao's heart was shocked, her legs trembled and she could barely stand, Lu Yufei's eyes danced with a playful and smug light, Xia Zhiyao only felt cold, the cold seeped into the blood from the surface of the skin little by little, and penetrated into the spine, and her heart seemed to climb on a poisonous snake spitting letters, devouring her spirit and hope little by little. She hypnotized herself, she must have thought wrong. She excitedly rushed forward and grabbed Lu Yufei's arms, asking her for confirmation and earnestly hoping for an answer. "No, I misunderstood, right?"
Lu Yufei smiled cruelly, coldly shaking off Xia Zhiyao's cold hand that was holding his arm, "I don't know if you should be naΓ―ve or stupid!" You guessed it right, as you thought, the person who betrayed your father and crippled him in that fight was Nan Teng! β
It was as if the sky was about to fall.
She thought that the happiness that was at her fingertips turned out to be just a flash in the pan.
Lu Yufei still refused to look like her, and approached with a coquettish and cruel smile as she retreated step by step. "Do you want to know the reason?"
Xia Zhiyao covered his ears and sat down on the cold concrete floor.
Not far away, Gu Mingcheng, who was standing gracefully under the sycamore tree in a silver suit, clenched his fists to restrain his urge to rush over.
She has to go through all this before she will completely give up Lu Nanteng's driftwood.
The author has something to say: In this chapter, it should be able to see that Lu Naner and Gu Gongzi are not all the way, about Yan Shunchen, well, it should be to come out and make a soy sauce drop~~(^o^)/~
