Chapter 232: All or Nothing
Du Zeming carefully put away the painting and brought it into the study. Although Liu Anfei felt a little strange, because Du Zeming was not usually keen on these works of art, she didn't care, the painting looked pretty good, but Du Zeming seemed to have some kind of unwarranted preference for it.
Liu Anfei remembered that last time Du Lin was at the school's art festival, he also used this painting as a copy object, and he liked it very much after completing the picture. Liu Anfei said that this painting is not a well-known famous painting, but it can be accessed from time to time recently, and it may have some fate with their father and son.
After dinner, Du Zeming and Liu Anfei just chatted about some company affairs at the dinner table as usual, or Liu Anfei conveyed some information about Du Lin's performance in school. Du Zeming is not a talkative person, and sometimes seems too taciturn, but Liu Anfei feels that men don't need to be so eloquent, and she hates the kind of men who talk and show nothing.
Her father, Liu Zhibin, is a clever person, if he can do a good job and have even a little more sense of responsibility, she may not be as disgusted with her father as she is now.
Liu Zhibin used his cleverness and cunning on the sidelines, he didn't know what family responsibility was, he didn't know what was the dignity of a man, he only learned how to squander his life wantonly, how to hurt his family, and then constantly smeared his life with unbearable stains.
Liu Anfei admires Du Zeming from the bottom of his heart, and even has some elements of worship in it. To some extent, Du Zeming made up for the truth and reliance that Liu Anfei had not received from his father since he was a child.
This sense of security is too important to Liu Anfei, Du Zeming is real, he is not good at and never deliberately hides his emotions, even if sometimes he becomes very emotional and irritable because of this, but this is an advantage in Liu Anfei's eyes, because he is real in her eyes, he will not deceive, and he will not pretend.
Du Zeming is busy with his career every day, and he has never slacked off. This is another advantage that attracts Liu Anfei incomparably, hard-working men always have a charming charm, not to mention that with the height of Du Zeming now, he is still full of enthusiasm for his career, which is a very valuable quality.
"Recently, the company's Xiushan affairs still need you to follow up more." Du Zeming said.
Liu Anfei agreed, she has always responded to the things arranged by Du Zeming. Now the current business status of Zelin Group is not too ideal, and if you want to continue to carry out such a big project in Xiushan, the funding gap has been very large.
So the pressure on Du Zeming's shoulders can be imagined, and Liu Anfei is also doing his best to help him face these problems. Recently, an investor is about to take a stake in the Xiushan project, which will greatly ease the company's financial pressure, and Liu Anfei's preparations for some relevant agreement terms are also being stepped up.
Du Zeming seemed to feel that he had not made his words clear, so he continued to add: "When the time comes, you may have to go to Xiushan to stay for a while. ”
Liu Anfei felt that the work was not so complicated, and replied: "There is no need to live anywhere, I just need to make a few more trips." ”
Du Zeming did not agree with this, but insisted on his opinion, "It's too energy-consuming to run back and forth, you should stay there for a few days with peace of mind, and come back after dealing with the things there, it's not that you haven't lived there." ”
"Are you not very worried about Chairman Zhang, who has joined the shares? This matter is still very helpful to the company, you can relax and care about the key issues of personal interests, and I will firmly control it. Liu Anfei realized that Du Zeming probably didn't like to share his hard-working projects with others, so he was always a little reluctant to accept other people's shares in the project.
Du Zeming nodded and said, "Then it's hard for you." ”
After Du Zeming finished eating, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and wanted to go back to the study as usual, but this time Liu Anfei stopped him with some hesitation.
"Mom said... Last time, Chairman Lee said that he wanted to meet with my family. ”
Although Liu Anfei called her her mother in front of Li Shujun, Du Zeming had never been interested in this, so after she blurted out just now, she immediately realized that this would make Du Zeming feel awkward when she heard it, so she changed her words in time.
Last time Li Shujun talked to Liu Anfei in private, of course Du Zeming didn't know. Now listening to Liu Anfei talk about this, Du Zeming hesitated, but did not show that he cared.
"It's between you, and you don't need to tell me." Du Zeming, who walked to the door of the study, stopped and said.
Liu Anfei didn't plan to give up just like this time, Du Zeming had been running away from the matter between the two of them, and she was no longer willing to wait endlessly.
"Zeming, don't you really want to marry me at all?" Liu Anfei stepped forward, looked at Du Zeming and asked bluntly.
Du Zeming turned around, met Liu Anfei's firm gaze, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think it's bad for us to be like this now?" ”
Liu Anfei was speechless for a while, of course she didn't think it was bad like this, but she wanted more, not just now, she wanted more protection, isn't it a natural thing?
There is nothing wrong with a woman's desire to enter the palace of marriage, not to mention that Liu Anfei has already lived in this family and has done her best for this family, no matter what, she is no longer an outsider, and she just wants a justifiable fact now.
Du Zeming understood everything Liu Anfei was thinking, but at this time he chose to pretend to be confused. He is satisfied with the current situation of life, but does not want to go further, which is unfair to Liu Anfei, who is running away from Liu Anfei at the same time.
After divorcing Lin Qingrou, Du Zeming did not look forward to his future life in his heart, especially a marriage that satisfied him and completely obeyed him. However, after he really regained his freedom, he no longer longed for marriage, and even often missed those days with Lin Qingrou.
It was something that made him feel very distressed, and it was true that he had experienced many ups and downs in his life during that time, but now he had already passed those sleepless days. In fact, getting married is also a completely natural thing, Liu Anfei is a woman who is suitable for her, he has always thought so in his heart.
But why do you have that kind of idea in your heart that you don't want to change the status quo at all? At this time, he inexplicably thought of Lin Qingrou, and Liu Anfei in front of him was looking at him with a disappointed look.
"I'm all for this family, and you don't want to give me a rightful identity at all? I love my life now, but I'm also entitled to my own marriage, right? Liu Anfei said in a low voice.
Du Zeming felt that it would be too much for him to say anything at this time, so he said to Liu Anfei seriously: "What you said is right, Linlin and I have been taking care of you, and I also know that you have paid a lot for us." It's just that I haven't calmed down to think about it, and I feel like I'm a little content with the status quo, and maybe that's ignoring your feelings. ”
As he spoke, Du Zeming gently hugged Liu Anfei into his arms, and his broad arms immediately swept away the depression in Liu Anfei's heart. It is this peace of mind that can make Liu Anfei willing to sacrifice and follow Du Zeming to the future journey of life.
She doesn't ask for much, in fact, it's just a simple care and companionship. However, in this relationship, Liu Anfei gave a lot, but Du Zeming gave very little, but even if it was less, Liu Anfei would feel that it was worth it.
"Give me some more time, as for meeting my family, I don't want to participate in it for the time being." After Du Zeming finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the study.
Liu Anfei had no choice, for Du Zeming, he had already made some concessions, and his attitude was a little softer than before. Liu Anfei feels that time can slowly bring about the turnaround he wants to see, once the matter of marriage begins to be truly considered, then Du Zeming will only choose to passively accept it.
The key now is still with Li Shujun, as long as Han Shuo can pass her test, then things will continue to be pushed forward. When the tone of this matter is set, many arrangements will be put on the agenda, and Liu Anfei expects that Du Zeming will let go of those entanglements in his heart and willingly complete the marriage with him.
When Liu Anfei thought of this, he was full of longing. This is the life she has always wanted, it must be very beautiful and happy, and her life will really break free from the haze of the past and usher in the brightest time.
With this in mind, Liu Anfei plans to let Li Shujun and Han Shuo meet this weekend. Because this matter itself is a bit weak-hearted, meeting as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams is something that Liu Anfei planned early in the morning.
Han Shuo was an excellent person, and the materials given to him were already very detailed, since he had promised this thing that seemed to be a very headache, then he would definitely do his best to help Liu Anfei complete it. Therefore, Liu Anfei didn't have to worry about whether Han Shuo would be able to prepare with his heart, she just felt that Li Shujun was really an old and sharp person, and she didn't dare to make a conclusion about how many possibilities there were for success.
What if Han Shuo was seen through by Li Shujun at that time? Liu Anfei didn't think about it, if this was the case, how to save it, she could only make a desperate bet, just like his father Liu Zhibin was addicted to gambling for half his life, she also had to make this bet, because she couldn't resist the rewards she would get as a winner.
