Chapter 316: The Price Paid
In the end, Lu Tingshen, who was still looking down at the book, rescued her, "Take your time, if she can't handle it, it's still up to you." ”
The New Year of a wealthy family is actually no different from ordinary people, but they will do some things more delicately than normal people, and even give gifts a lot.
The housekeeper hurriedly nodded and stepped back to do things, leaving the space to them.
Ji Yan didn't talk to him, but read the list in his hand one by one before picking up the pen on the table and marking a few on it, and then sorted it out and put it back, for fear that the things would be blown away, he also used the remote control to suppress it.
It's just that......
She looked at Lu Tingshen, "Do you want to use the remote control?" ”
Lu Ting turned the page without raising his head, and his tone was cold, "I'm thinking about when you plan to talk to me if you don't have a remote control." ”
Ji Yan's face turned a thin red, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”
He snapped the book on the table and looked up, "You understand. Ji Yan, you are the smartest of all the women I have ever met. ”
She is confident and proud but never arrogant, always atmospheric and gentle in dealing with people, and she is still indifferent to fame and fortune.
Ji Yan's whole person and her emotions are as flat as water, nothing can stir up her emotions, but when faced with things she doesn't want to mention, it is so natural to avoid them.
is just like the current Ji Yan, with a straightforward "I don't know what you're talking about, even if I know, I don't want to talk to you." It's really smart, but it's so smart that people can't help but gnash their teeth.
"If it's okay, I'm going to go upstairs to draw the blueprints, there are still a lot of things that haven't been resolved, and I hope that when my parents come back, they can see a new and different me." She wanted to run away for a casual reason, but was stopped by Lu Ting's deep eyes and sharp hands.
"I was worried about your body before, but now it's time for you to explain it to me." He took the person to his side and sat down, his eyes kept on Ji Yan, worried that she would want to run away and kept holding her wrist and not letting go.
Although the appearance of this question was very majestic, they were now sitting on the same sofa holding hands, and small sparks were still blooming between their eyes, and they really couldn't look serious.
"Explain what?" The force he used in his hand was not very heavy, and Ji Yan succeeded with a light struggle.
"I didn't know what to tell you about the situation, I decided what to do after a lot of thought. You may think I have a heart of the Virgin or something, but my thoughts are very real. Ji Yan calmly told him his thoughts, "Many people say that businessmen are profitable, but in my opinion, this is not necessarily the case. I just want to try to stand in that position and think about one thing, what would you do if you were the one making this choice? ”
Lu Tingshen's indifferent expression had a crack at that moment, but Ji Yan's focus was not on this matter, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"I can't build a business empire like the Lu Group, and our marriage is unlikely to bring you the so-called flow of interests. But they can do all these things, take 10,000 steps back, they are your closest people, and I can't let you lose two of your closest people because of my relationship. ”
Keeping them there won't be the best outcome, and no one knows if anything will happen in the meantime, and the best outcome is for them to come back.
After Ji Yan finished speaking, he looked at him, "Actually, I don't think what I did was wronged or anything, they were very good to me, I just wanted to return their kindness to me a little bit." If you don't think of these things as if I did them for you, you won't bother with them. ”
Her tone was relaxed and natural, not taking these things seriously at all.
So the current situation turned out to be a person who helped regardless of the danger to persuade him, and there was a reason.
Lu Tingshen laughed angrily at her words, and pressed the person on the sofa with a hand in his hand, with a hint of danger in his low voice, "You have a lot of excuses, I don't care about you this time." But if there was a next time, it wouldn't be that simple. ”
There was another sentence he wanted to say but he couldn't say it, and he didn't plan to tell Ji Yan.
He would never let himself fall into the scenario she was talking about, and even if it did come to that day, he was confident that he would be able to split the third path and find a way.
……
I don't know what news my family received, the head of the family stayed in the conference room for half an hour before coming out, and when he came out, his face was gloomy and there was no light.
The servant who was waiting around nervously stepped forward and asked, "Master of the family, are you okay?" ”
He waved his hand and ordered the people around him with an ugly expression, "Go, bring them back to me!" ”
The days passed day by day, and the new year was coming, but there were fewer and fewer people in my family. This thing is subtle, at the beginning they find that the person sitting next to them is gone, at first they will be surprised and panicked, but when the disappeared person reaches a certain base, even the surprise becomes numb.
And now there are only a few guests left in the family, and he is talking about the couple who have been in pairs from the beginning until now, Lu's father and Lu's mother.
After a few moments, they led the people upstairs to the flower room.
The top floor of the flower house is made of transparent glass, so that you can enjoy the outside scene in all aspects and better see the flowers. People on the outside can't see inside, but people on the inside can see outside, which is a new feeling.
There were a few cups of flower tea on the table, and the head of the family was sitting there with Erlang's legs crossed, and only after hearing the sound did he let go of his hand and let them come over.
"I called you here this time to let you know, but don't rush to say it now, sit down and have a cup of tea and talk slowly."
Lu's mother lifted her heart, perhaps because of a woman's sixth sense, she vaguely felt that the matter that the head of the family was going to say next might be related to Lu Tingshen.
They sat down opposite the head of the house, but they were very restrained, and when they sat down, their hands and feet were stiff and they couldn't use them at all.
The head of the house didn't say much in his eyes, but casually ordered a few flowers that were put aside, "I am a person who likes to raise flowers very much, and I even think that everything in this world can be described as an example of flowers." Some flowers may look graceful and luxurious, but in fact they have a finite life, and even more so, they only have one night. Do you think it's good in exchange for your life? ”
He had an epiphyllum that had not yet bloomed in his hand, and although the topic was about flowers, it was strange to hear it, as if he was referring to someone with such an object.
"We don't have Yaxing than you, the head of the family, everyone is a rough person, and they only know how to make money and spend money lavishly. I really don't know anything about flowers and the like......" Father Lu answered his question without humility or arrogance, but his frowning brows never let go.
Lu Mu didn't speak, her nervous palms were sweating, her mind was full of worry, if she was asked to say something at this time, she would definitely stutter.
"You're the most humble person I've ever met, and you don't have to know anything to make your own statement. There are no flowers that are red for a hundred days, and no one can be strong for a lifetime. It's like a beautiful rose that will be overshadowed. After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and changed his voice, "It's just that I didn't expect things to come so suddenly, you really taught a good son!" ”
The strings that had been tense in Lu's mother's mind were finally broken at this moment, and this matter was really related to Lu Tingshen......
What should I do?
Father Lu's brows furrowed even tighter, and although he didn't say anything on his face, the emotion of worry was irrepressible.
The head of the family looked at the expressions on their faces with great satisfaction, and then said unhurriedly, "I don't know if I scared you two, in fact, I don't mean anything else, it's just that thanks to this precious son, you were finally able to get out and leave smoothly." It should be a great event for you, right? ”
He stood up and brought them what had been prepared long ago.
When Father Lu opened it, his face turned pale, as if he was frightened by something, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"As I said earlier, there are some things that need to be paid for by life. If this is true of living things, how much more so are we humans? He played with the Buddhist beads in his hand one by one, and said slowly, "I let you go because your son is excellent, but excellence itself is a kind of wealth, will anyone want to give up this kind of wealth?" ”
This was already hinted at, and Lu Mu immediately chuckled, stood up and wanted to make it clear to him.
No matter what Lu Tingshen does, he is their son, and it is impossible to let people eat meat!
But before the words could be spoken, he was stopped by Father Lu and taken out of the flower room, and the subordinates who were guarding here didn't say anything about it, but just sent two people to follow them to see if they would do things that they shouldn't do and say things they shouldn't say.
The people who came to report on their work just in time for them to speak, and asked in confusion, "Why did you let them go?" Wouldn't letting them leave their homes at this time be tantamount to telling the world what we have done? ”
The head of the family took a sip of the flower tea, very irritable, "It's thanks to the fact that they have a good son, if it weren't for this person, none of this would have happened." But because of him, there is a gap in our original seamless plan, but it doesn't matter anymore. ”
Although this episode will have some impact on the plan, it will not hinder anything.
It's just that some people who meddle in this matter will have irreversible changes in their lives, and this is the price.
No one can get something for nothing without doing anything, and it is impossible for anyone to want to change something without giving anything.
……
When Ji Yan received the call, he was instructing the maid what to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and his originally fluent voice suddenly choked in his throat after hearing the voice on the phone, and it took a long time to find his voice back.
"Will I ever see you again soon?"
