Sweat soaked through the silk nightdress, the corners of Xu Xunran's lips trembled slightly, and this incomparably real dream was like a shackle, pressing on her heart suddenly.

She felt a little suffocated.

Lu Tingchen frowned, a trace of anger crossed her eyes, did she hope that that person was still in the world?

But looking at her weak little appearance, her heart softened again, and the corners of her mouth barely pulled out a smile, reassuring her: "What nonsense, it's just a dream." ”

Is it a dream?

She said to herself, "But, it's too true. ”

The warm light was turned on by Lu Tingchen, looking at the messy curls hanging from her ears, and she was silent for a long time.

He said, "It's really a dream! ”

The tone is firm and unquestionable.

Lu Tingchen sighed deeply, took Xu Xunran's hand and put it on the slightly undulating heart, her fingertips trembled slightly.

"If Zhou Yiran is still alive, then what is this beating heart in my chest? Wish. As he spoke, the barely visible anger in his eyes turned into a gloom.

She, after all, is not concerned about herself.

Xu Xunran retracted his fingers stupidly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

She didn't dare to face Lu Tingchen directly, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I ......"

"You don't have to explain." Lu Tingchen interrupted.

"I know it all, and I understand it." I understand that you can't let go of him and can't fall in love with me. When he said this, Lu Tingchen only felt that his whole heart was cramping.

He got up and left, and went back to his bedroom in the middle of the night.

The door was gently closed, Xu Xunran secretly pinched the corners of the quilt, and whispered: "Make a wish, why do you always hurt him?" Wouldn't it be nice to get out of here quickly? ”

It was late at night, and it was past 4 a.m. when she went to sleep again.

Lu Tingchen couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the study to approve the documents. The computer screen was beating with an email, which was sent by Secretary Li.

He guessed that he didn't expect Lu Tingchen to have no rest late at night, and the first sentence of the email content was written, at 8 o'clock in the morning, please call back immediately when the president sees it.

At 5:32, Lu Tingchen called.

"What's the matter?" Lu Tingchen's tone was calm and low, and his eyes did not have a trace of warmth.

The other end was surprised: "President, you woke up so early?" Oh, yes, the snake shows its tail. ”

"Come to my house!"

"Yes."

When Secretary Li tiptoed into the study, he saw Lu Tingchen staring at the heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had stayed up late. He rubbed his eyebrows with one hand and asked, "What's wrong with the unrelated flight information you sent me in your email?" ”

"President, my mailbox has been hacked. If you haven't found out who did it, it's hard to get through the emergency email, and your phone is in airplane mode late at night. I sent an email with inconsequential flight information. ”

"Deal with it as soon as possible. You say, the snake showed its tail? He narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Chen Shaowen's matter is as expected by the president, it is indeed that Mrs. asked him to help me find a way to suppress the news that exposed your condition, who knows, someone with a heart used Chen Shaowen to sign an agreement and create a scandal about Zhou Zhixi and his ***. And ......" Speaking of this, Secretary Li stuttered a little.

"Say."

"Moreover, the purpose of the news seems to be impure, because according to the news, the next step may be to use the friendship between Chen Shaowen and his wife to hype." Secretary Li's face was embarrassed.

"President, Mrs. is still waiting for news about this matter, so do we still want to ...... Tell her? ”

Lu Tingchen pursed his lips at this moment, his jaw stretched into a tight and stylish curve due to anger, and he clenched the pen in his hand.

His eyes were dark, and it took a while before he spoke: "No, don't say it." ”

"Keep investigating, and find out all the instructions and people behind me!"

As soon as the words fell, the pearl inlaid with the tip of the pen was forcibly broken......

After Secretary Li left, Lu Tingchen stood by the window of the study and watched the blue sky glow in the sky, and he had mixed feelings.

Ever since he knew that Xu Xunran was worried about himself, and he went to ask his friends for many years for help, but he was used by someone with a heart to provoke such an oolong, his heart was like a pool of water that was getting muddy, and he was inexplicably confused.

Does she love herself? If you don't love it, you won't hold his hand in the operating room and cry with tears. Isn't it?

But if she loves, why does she dream back at midnight, all her heart and mind are thinking about Zhou Yiyi?

Even, she dreamed that the person was not dead.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Tingchen's mouth, somewhat self-deprecating, and he stroked his chest, where a fresh heart was beating regularly.

"If you're not dead, what am I here?"

His eyes were full

When it was completely dawn, Xu Xunran woke up.

The huge villa was empty, and Lu Tingchen went out, leaving only a short note at the door of her room.

"Xunran, I'm on a business trip. I will be able to go home in 3 days and wait for me to come back. ”

She clutched the note, a hint of loss floating in her eyes, and she didn't even notice it.

After breakfast, Secretary Li came.

She was surprised, "Isn't Lu Tingchen on a business trip, and Secretary Li not together?" ”

Secretary Li nodded respectfully and explained, "The president asked me to bring Chen Shaowen's news to my wife. ”

She immediately stood up, "Is there a situation?" ”

"Yes." Secretary Li took out a file and handed it to Xu Xunran, "Madam, please take a look." ”

In the file bag, a bunch of photos are some of the nude photos that have not yet been made public, Zhou Zhixi and Chen Shaowen. In addition, there are photos of Xu Xunran meeting with Chen Shaowen and friends having dinner after returning to China.

The shooting angles are more or less biased, and it seems that the relationship between the two is ambiguous. There are also several sharply worded directional press releases!

She couldn't believe it, and flipped through it again and again until it was confirmed.

"I've been followed since I returned home?" She was surprised who was so concerned about her itinerary and even deliberately created it.

Now that Zhou Zhixi is involved, it can't be her!

Could it be? After Xu Xunran speculated, he cautiously asked Secretary Li: "Can you find out who took these?" ”

Secretary Li shook his head, "Not yet." ”

"What about my friend? How long do you stay abroad to come back? ”

"Let's just get past the limelight."

She nodded, she really wanted to communicate directly with Chen Shaowen and ask him how he got entangled with Zhou Zhixi. But the phone couldn't get through, and before Secretary Li mentioned it, he hurriedly left the villa on the grounds that he was busy with official business.

The pile of materials was piled up messily in front of him, Xu Xunran saw that his head hurt, and when he wanted to go out to breathe, someone came!

Before the people arrived, the charming and coquettish voice arrived first.

"Xunran, are you in a hurry to go out?" Lu Chan wore a cold black dress, stroked the hair on the side of her ears, and walked in.

Xu Xunran frowned, and hurriedly stuffed all the photos into the file bag, and behaved a little hurriedly. provoked Lu Chan, who had just entered the door, to look at her a few more times.

Since the last time Lu Chan had a showdown with her and Lu Tingchen's old relationship, Xu Xunran just couldn't provoke Lu Chan and couldn't afford to hide.

Now that people have taken the initiative to come to the door, she has nowhere to hide, so she has to face it.

"Sister-in-law, why do you have time to come to the house?" Xu Xunran had a smile on the corner of his mouth, although he didn't seem to have a real smile. But it doesn't matter if it's a cicada.

Lu Chan squinted his eyes and said in his heart, I love Tingchen for a showdown with you, can you still pretend to be with me? Very good.

She clapped her hands, and the bodyguard brought a delicate gift box to Xu Xunran.

"A little Valentino dress, I hope you like it." Lu Chan deliberately beckoned Xu Xunran to change it.

Xu Xunran was unwilling, for the sake of face, he euphemistically shirked and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I will definitely try it on when I go back." ”

"I'm afraid not, because today we're going to have an important dinner." Lu Chan said with his arms folded.

Party? What party Xu Xunran is going to attend, why she doesn't know herself!

"Party?" She asked suspiciously.

"Oh, didn't Ting Chen tell you? It was about the party of Lu's subsidiary, and he was supposed to go. He left the country this morning and couldn't attend, so he had to ask you to do it for him. When he said this, Lu Chan naturally sat down in the main seat of the living room.

Raised his eyes and looked at Xu Xunran, why, you don't go?

"I'm not going." She refused.

The two looked at each other, and for a while there was a flash of friction, Lu Tingchen had never let Xu Xunran interfere in the affairs of the group, how could there be a party arranged for her to do it for her?

Xu Xunran didn't believe it.

Lu Chan seemed to expect such a situation, patted the hem of her skirt, and stood up with a slightly depressed voice.

"Alas, this is the company that Ting Chen cares about the most, you were also present when it was handed over to me, I think he is ten thousand and worried about me. Now I have a large number of projects to invest in the group, and I want you to attend in person, and I will have a testimony and explanation. ”

"It's you who don't go, if Tingchen says that there is no witness in the future, don't blame me."

Taking advantage of the interval between speaking, Lu Chan glanced at Xu Xunran, and said in a depressed and happy voice: "Since you don't go, I should be relieved of me!" ”

After Lu Chan finished speaking, he raised his feet and was about to leave.

Xu Xunran heard that Lu Tingchen was indeed not worried about Lu Chan, was it better for her to go?

"Wait!"

Lu Chan turned back with satisfaction and crossed his arms, "Xunran, have you changed your mind?" ”

"I'll go, I'll go for Lu Tingchen." She said in a sonorous voice.

She knew that she hadn't done anything for Lu Tingchen, and she left last night because of Zhou Yiran. At least, it would be good if she could do something before the divorce.

Only then did he agree to Lu Chan.

She changed into a dress, and in the satisfied smile on the corner of Lu Chan's mouth, she got into the luxury car that came to pick her up.

……

When the flight landed, Lu Tingchen was dizzy. It was already 11 p.m. in Los Angeles, and Secretary Li arrived 1 hour later.

The hotel was arranged in the bustling city center, and Secretary Li reported to him as soon as possible.

"President, I have already told Madame what you wanted, and she believes it."

"Actually, you don't have to come to see Chen Shaowen in person this time."

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, the shadowy figure said slowly: "Tomorrow morning, I will bring him over." ”

"Okay. President, the Zhou family is now looking for Chen Shaowen everywhere in China, threatening that the photos and videos of the scandal are all forged, and Chen Shaowen wants to make money! ”

He snorted coldly, "The philistine Zhou family, when Zhou Zhixi lost her interests, she wiped her face and abandoned her daughter, but now she finds out that Zhou Zhixi is an only daughter, which will affect the interests of the Zhou family after all, and she wants to plant the black pot to others." Zhou Haishan really did all kinds of ridiculous things! ”

"The Zhou family has always been like this, and when they sent Zhou Zhixi to stick to you, it wasn't also for the relationship with Lu Shipan." As soon as Secretary Li echoed a sentence, the mobile phone in his pocket buzzed.

Secretary Li went to the side to read the news and gasped in shock.

Turning around, he reported in a somewhat unsteady tone, "President, it's not good, it's a big deal!" ”
