Chapter 51: The Helpless Queen
After getting off work, Yang Qianye hurriedly ran to the bus stop, there were a lot of new customers in the gym recently, and she had to hurry.
As soon as she got out of the office building, a cold hand grabbed her, and when she looked back, it was Lu Meiqin.
"Aunt Lu!" She was surprised.
Lu Meiqin permed her head, but her fluffy curls couldn't support the broken face. I saw that her nose was red as if she had cried, and her face was sunken a lot, and she was obviously emaciated. What's even more surprising is that there is an extra crystal pupil in the eye socket that is disabled by injury, which is no different from ordinary people, as if it was innate.
"Hello, Miss Yang." Lu Meiqin greeted, her fragile voice could not hide her haggardness.
"You've had surgery, and it looks like the real thing!"
"Hmm...... I'm looking for you urgently. β
Chiba widened her eyes and stretched her neck, faintly feeling a pressure.
Seeing that she was hesitant, Lu Meiqin said again: "Just take up half an hour for you, let's talk about it in another place." β
Chiba looked at the time in embarrassment.
"I'm afraid I can't do it now, I have to rush to the gym to work part-time, it's been quite busy over there lately."
"Is it okay for me to make a long story short?"
From the serious attitude, it is not difficult to see that Lu Meiqin has encountered a tricky matter. Chiba was a little surprised that a rising star with a thriving business and a rising circle of wealthy people would reveal such a frustrated and powerless side.
After thinking about it, she replied, "Okay, but I really can't delay too long." β
"Why don't I send you there, the car said, don't delay."
Sitting in the car, the outside world suddenly quieted down, and Chiba heard Lu Meiqin's breathing powerlessly, and also felt a trace of coolness caused by fine sweat covering her forehead.
"What the hell is going on, so urgent?" She asked.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Meiqin sobbed, but her hands did not leave the steering wheel, and she was very careful.
"Xiao Yang, move back to the Sakura Apartment, I apologize to you for what happened last time. The company was a busy mess that day, and I was in a bad mood and couldn't control my emotions, and I said something nasty, I'm sorry. Believe me, I'm the one who has no intentions. β
"Aunt Lu, if you come to me for this, you are too careful, I am not angry. Actually, you were quite right that day, and I thought about it when I went back. Not to mention anything else, the apartment is so big, you can take it out and rent it at a good price if you don't live in it, it's a waste for me to live alone, and it's not right. Of course, maybe you don't care about that money at all, but you should go wherever you want to make the best use of it, and I can't take advantage of you, let alone make trouble for you all the time. β
"When you put the most of what you have, you remember that you get the best value for your money. 1101 is not luxurious, but it is also a good decoration and decoration, better than many houses. You're from out of town, it's not easy for a girl to be out alone, and your family can rest assured that you can live and eat well. Don't look at how I usually don't contact you, in fact, I have always treated you as a daughter, and I couldn't wait to come to you immediately after receiving the news that you quit the lease, but unfortunately I was too busy to leave. β
Lu Meiqin lied, her face did not change, her heart did not beat, and Chiba also listened to her in disbelief.
"It's true that I didn't use that house to collect rent, but now I live in Yue Mansion with my son, it's empty, there is a trustworthy person living in it, the house is popular, and you can still help clean it every day, and I don't have to worry about it. In this way, as long as you agree to move back, I won't take a penny, knowing that you are not rich, I have money......"
"No, no, no, you can't ask for nothing just because you have me, you don't care about me, and you can pick up the bargain with peace of mind. Aunt Lu, you still don't understand what I mean, I want to rely on myself and don't want to rely too much on others. When I first arrived in Lucheng, you helped me a lot, took me in and bought me food, I remember all this. You can't go on like this, I ......."
"Aren't you dependent on chocolate?" Lu Meiqin asked.
After thinking about it, Chiba didn't deny it.
"Except for this, chocolate has what I want but can't get, I ......"
"Yes, we have all been poisoned by him, not so much dependence, but no choice." Lu Meiqin let out a long sigh and slowed down the car. She needs to control her emotions quietly, and she needs enough time to convince Chiba, so she is very cautious. "In this way, if you don't want to live for nothing, then I will still collect the rent, or the original price, or give more."
Chiba still looked worried, shook his head and replied, "Aunt Lu, we are not related, you really don't have to treat me like this." To be honest, I'm quite guilty, you've been helping me but I can't help you anything, and then I'm cheeky enough to take advantage of you, what's the matter. β
"I came here today to beg you to help me, moving back to live is the biggest help for me, let's settle down."
"I don't understand, what do you mean?" Chiba stared sideways at Lu Meiqin, who was playing three points and seven points, and wondered even more in her heart, "What the hell is going on, what does it mean that moving back is the biggest help to you?" β
These words were like a utility knife for cutting express mail, and Lu Meiqin's pretended calm emotions were cut away, and she couldn't help crying anymore.
"Aunt Lu, Aunt Lu...... What happened to you? β
Chiba softened, whether it was sincere or false, whether it was voluntary or forced, her coming to Lucheng was indeed a shelter provided by Lu Meiqin, which could not be denied. She should be grateful to this glamorous but poor woman, and she also felt the urge to wipe away her tearsβbecause the newly dressed pupils were so beautiful that they didn't mix well with the wet tears.
After stabilizing her mood, Lu Meiqin repeated what chocolate had said to her.
"What! Because I moved out of the apartment, the blame is on you! Chiba was shocked.
"Yes. You know, only he is looking for us, we have no way to find him, what do you think I should do? I actually want to trust him, otherwise I wouldn't have done so much before, but sometimes it's really contradictory. Whether he knows what you and I want, I have always had a question mark in my heart. β
"Could it be that you're too sensitive?"
Lu Meiqin smiled helplessly and said categorically: "No, he is very resolute, I don't think he will contact me anymore, I said a lot of heavy things that day, and offended him." Now you are the only one who can help me regain my trust. That's why I came to beg you. The panicked and helpless look seems to tell Chiba that you are likely to be in a similar situation.
For a moment, Chiba felt guilty.
"I didn't expect me to cause you trouble, I'm sorry."
"No, I don't blame you, it's him who is too unreasonable...... Lu Meiqin sniffed and asked sadly: "Chiba, if it's you, what would you do?" β
Chiba couldn't answer.
The mysterious man had disappeared from her life for two months, and in those two months she was so busy looking for a job, busy earning life-saving money for her mother's survival, busy paying off her loans and thanking people, and so busy gaining a foothold in the workplace where all the grass and trees were soldiers, and she didn't have time to think about everything about chocolate.
But she didn't forget the hatred, and she didn't forget the original intention of coming to Lucheng. Put yourself in her shoes, she has only just begun her revenge journey, and Lu Meiqin has already completed most of the journey, and she only needs to work a little harder to get close to the finish line. So she understands her panic and feels that she should be helped. After all, they are all people tormented by hatred.
"I don't know what to do, I can't think about it." She uttered something akin to admitting defeat, "So, as long as I move back to Chocolate, I won't be angry with you, is that what you mean?" β
Lu Meiqin grabbed her shoulder excitedly, and cried while nodding: "Yes, yes!" Chiba, you are a good girl, and your aunt is also a good woman, we should help each other, but it is a long-cherished wish to get sooner. Moving back to Sakura Apartment is a gesture for you, but for Auntie, it's a lifesaver, so you can say yes...... Or, for Yingchen's sake? β
Hearing Song Yingchen's name, she could no longer have any worries. Yes, if it was for that boy, she would not hesitate to stand up for even the most difficult things ten times greater.
"Okay, I promise you, if you need me like this."
"Yes, need, Chiba, you're too good." Lu Meiqin hugged her face and kissed her, intimate and exaggerated, and then cried even more. But this moment is not like the heartache of helplessness, but like the joy of being lost and regained.
Her tears made Chiba realize what it meant to be cornered, and she was terrified of the same situation that might happen to her. Chocolate said that when he turned his face, he turned his face, far and near, it seemed to be true and false, and the motive was unknown, and she and Lu Meiqin had to re-examine this mysterious person.
"Aunt Lu, it's okay, everything will be fine."
"Well, it's going to be fine." Lu Meiqin pulled a tissue to wipe her tears, and the car happened to be opposite the gym. She parked the car and leaned back in her chair, her whole body relaxed.
"I'll remember you, Chiba. Auntie is a woman, you are also a woman, it is not easy to be a woman, it is more difficult to live in the world than a man. But I believe that our suffering will eventually be relieved, and those who negotiate with us will not want to control us for the rest of their lives. Slowly, the grievance in her eyes turned into some kind of strong light.
Chiba subconsciously looked at it and found that the originally broken face had rebuilt its confidence and strength. For some reason, she felt a little scared.
"Then you must move back quickly, and if you want anything, just ask."
"Well, but...... Aunt Lu, I have to spend expenses every month, and I can't afford the price of 1101. Six hundred before was indeed too little, if you don't dislike me, I will rise to one thousand and five first, and then I will make up for it for you at one time when I have money. This is a condition of my move back and I hope you will respect it. β
"No, no, no......"
"Listen to me, it has to be like this."
Lu Meiqin hypocritically made an embarrassed expression, and finally nodded.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, just move back. Also, if Chocolate wants to find you, can you intercede for me? β
"Definitely, don't worry."
Lu Meiqin took out the keys and access card from her bag. "This is the ...... you left in the butler center"
Chiba felt his palms suddenly heavy.
