Chapter 25: The Canary

Zhu Man waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary, it's just a little hungry, I can wait." ”

About ten minutes later, the waiter successively gave Lu Yu and Zhu Man this table of dishes, as Lu Yu said, they were really efficient.

Lu Shenyan pinched the time very accurately, and after the waiter finished serving the food, he led Xiaobao and Xiaobei to appear together.

"Uncle!"

A childish voice sounded, and the two turned their heads to look together. Zhu Xiaobei, who was wearing a princess dress, had sharp eyes, and saw her mother and uncle at a glance, so she screamed sweetly and ran over quickly.

Lu Yu hadn't seen clearly who the little girl who called him was, and the little girl had already pounced into his arms like a little sheep. A soft and glutinous lump, like a rice cake.

"Uncle, my father took me and my brother out for dinner, I didn't expect to meet you here, are you also here to eat?"

Lu Yu saw clearly at this time, the girl in his arms was Lu Shenyan's daughter, and he had seen it before when the old man brought the two children home.

Before he could answer Zhu Xiaobei's first question, Xiaobei found Zhu Man sitting opposite, so he blinked his big watery eyes and said, "Aunt Zhu is also here." ”

So she asked the second question curiously, "There are only two people at this table, Uncle and Aunt Zhu, so are you two dating?" ”

Lu Yu ignored the two questions asked by Zhu Xiaobei, and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Do you know the aunt opposite?" ”

Zhu Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, Aunt Zhu is a nanny invited by Daddy." I was curious before my aunt went out, she usually doesn't go out much, and it's rare to go out once, so she came to date her uncle. ”

"Xiaobei, you're disobedient again, didn't you tell you to stand there obediently?"

Lu Shenyan and Zhu Xiaobao also came to the dinner table, and Lu Shenyan turned into a stern dad and scolded his disobedient daughter. But Zhu Xiaobei didn't think so, and climbed on Lu Yu's body, very happy.

Since you want to make a play, you have to do a full set. Pretending to meet by chance, Lu Shenyan looked at Lu Yu and said in surprise: "Big brother, are you there too?" ”

Lu Yu replied: "Yes, I accidentally hit Miss Zhu while driving that day, and I have always felt very guilty in my heart." I have been thinking about finding an opportunity to apologize to Miss Zhu in person, but I don't want to delay it for so long. I finally have a chance today, and I am especially grateful to Miss Zhu for giving me this opportunity. ”

After speaking, he added: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, Miss Zhu is your family's nanny." ”

After hearing what Lu Yu said, Lu Shenyan showed a surprised look and said, "The nanny has mentioned this matter to me, but she never thought that the person who bumped into her was you. ”

"Yes, it's me." Speaking of this, Lu Yu felt guilty and said again: "I'm really sorry for causing harm to Miss Zhu, I hope Miss Zhu can have a good meal today, so that I can make amends to her." ”

Seeing the performance of Lu Shenyan and Lu Yu, Zhu Man couldn't help but admire in his heart, if they are really brothers, both of them have good acting skills, and they can compete for the Oscar.

"Since you sincerely want to apologize to her, then we won't bother you." Lu Shenyan looked at Zhu Xiaobei, who was hugging Lu Yu's neck, and said, "Xiaobei, come down, let's go to another table to eat." ”

Zhu Xiaobei didn't follow, but hugged Lu Yu's neck tighter, "Don't!" Xiaobei finally saw Uncle again, I don't want to go anywhere else. ”

Lu Shenyan shook his head helplessly and cast an apologetic look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu behaved very generously and said, "It's okay to be cautious, child." Since we're all here, let's sit down and eat together. ”

This was exactly the answer Lu Shenyan wanted, but he still pretended to be sorry and said, "I'm really embarrassed, big brother, Xiaobei is too clingy to you." ”

Lu Yu looked at Lu Xiaobei on her body, patted her back, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I like this little girl." ”

At this point, Lu Shenyan no longer shirked, and sat down with Zhu Xiaobao with peace of mind.

There were three more people at once, and the dishes I ordered before were naturally not enough. So Lu Yu called the waiter, handed the menu to Lu Shenyan, ordered a lot of dishes, and several people began to eat.

The atmosphere was quite natural, Zhu Man didn't talk much, because her identity was just the nanny of Lu Shenyan's house, and the owner was also there, so she shouldn't talk nonsense.

While eating, Zhu Xiaobei suddenly looked at Lu Shenyan and said coquettishly: "Daddy, I want to drink juice." ”

"Juice drinks?" Lu Yu called the waiters again and instructed them to bring juice to this table.

It may be that he drank too much juice, and when he was halfway through the meal, Zhu Xiaobei looked at Zhu Man and said, "Auntie, I want to go to the bathroom." ”

Zhu Man immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and said softly, "Okay Xiaobei, Auntie will take you to the bathroom." ”

Xiaobao said: "I'm going too!" ”

So, Zhu Man held Zhu Xiaobao with one hand and Zhu Xiaobei with the other, and the three of them walked to the bathroom together.

As soon as the children left, the noisy dinner table just now instantly became deserted. The two brothers, Lu Shenyan and Lu Yu, had their own thoughts and were speechless for each other.

In the end, it was Lu Shenyan who took the lead in breaking the silence, "Big brother, now that the two of us are left here, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Lu Yu heard Lu Shenyan's tone was very serious, not like he was joking with himself, so he laughed heartily. Since the other party is no longer acting, there is no need for him to go around with the other party anymore, so he got straight to the point:

"Be cautious, ally with me."

"How?"

Lu Shenyan didn't drag his feet, and asked concisely.

"I know what you want, you know what I want, and our purposes do not conflict, and we can even say that they are the same. So we make an alliance to benefit and do no harm. ”

So, what does Lu Yu want? He wants the Lu family to collapse, he wants the old man to collapse, he has waited too long for the day of revenge. As for Lu Shenyan, all he thinks about is freedom and his mother's safety. For so many years, he has been restrained by the old man, or rather, controlled, and his mother's whereabouts have been unknown for so many years, and he can't find his mother for a day, and he can't be at ease for a day.

Lu Yu was right, their purpose was the same, and the target was the old man.

But Lu Shenyan was still a little surprised, he only knew that Lu Yu had a grudge against the old man, but he never thought that he hated him so much that he wanted to destroy the Lu family to achieve his goal of revenge.

Even if Lu Shenyan didn't care about the Lu family's career, because he didn't need anyone's help to break out of the world, Lu Yu's psychology still made him a little unacceptable.

"Can you give me any benefit from the alliance? I want to see your sincerity. ”

It's not that Lu Shenyan is arrogant, he really has the capital to say this. The reason why Lu Yu is where he is today is because he has a backer behind him, but his backer is far from being comparable to the Lu family. Therefore, the benefits he gives himself must be attractive enough that he will want to cooperate with him.

"My only purpose is to take revenge on the old man, so I won't rob you of everything in the Lu family."

Lu Shenyan smiled, thinking, when you finish taking revenge on the old man, there will be nothing left in the Lu family, so it doesn't matter if you rob or not.

"Also, don't you really like Zhu Muran? I can also help you get rid of this woman. ”

That's not bad. Lu Shenyan raised his eyebrows, to be honest, Lu Yu really couldn't help himself. Zhu Muran is very annoying, things in the love field are much more annoying than things in the mall, if Lu Yu can help him get rid of that troublesome essence, he is quite happy to cooperate with him.

"But how can I be sure you'll do what you say?"

Lu Yu seemed to have expected Lu Shenyan to ask this, and he didn't go around in circles, and showed the trump card in his hand straightforwardly, "I have news of your mother." ”

The blood in Lu Shenyan's whole body instantly coagulated, and he stared at Lu Yu's eyes tightly, no longer hesitating.

"I agree to be in alliance with you."

Got the answer he wanted, Lu Yu's eyes smiled, "Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

The other party asks him to cooperate, which does not mean that he will be his friend from now on. After getting along for so many years, Lu Shenyan didn't find out Lu Yu's thoughts, he really hid it too deeply. Such a person is really dangerous, and he must always be vigilant.

At this time, the three people who went to the bathroom finally returned, and the quiet dining table returned to its previous lively atmosphere.

After eating, the two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a while. Then Lu Yu said that he still had things to deal with, so he left early.

Zhu Man was so smart, seeing this situation, she was sure that an agreement had been reached between Lu Yu and Lu Shenyan, but she didn't ask right away. After the family of four returned home and coaxed the children to sleep quietly, Zhu Man went to find Lu Shenyan.

"What did you and Lu Yu talk about at the dinner table?"

"Talk about cooperation."

"What are Lu Yu's conditions?" Zhu Man asked again.

"Collapse the old man, collapse the Lu family." Lu Shenyan replied calmly.

Zhu Man was a little incredulous after hearing this, Lu Yu, who seemed to be polite, was so vindictive. What kind of blood feud will make Lu Yu want the old man to pay such a huge price.

After thinking about it, Zhu Man asked Lu Shenyan again, "Lu Yu is so kind to the Lu family, don't you object?" ”

"I, Lu Shenyan, have never relied on the Lu family to have today, so what does he want to do to the Lu family, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhu Man looked at Lu Shenyan's eyes and pouted, this man is really super confident in himself.

"Then do you think he just wants to take advantage of you and bite you back in the end?" Zhu Man asked worriedly, after all, in front of interests, anyone may turn their faces and deny others.

Lu Shenyan's eyes dimmed, and he said slowly: "Lu Yu has news of my mother?" ”

"What? Does she know your mother's whereabouts? ”

At this moment, Zhu Man was surprised and delighted. She knew that Lu Shenyan's greatest wish was to find her mother, but she didn't expect Lu Yu to have a clue. Since it was Lu Yu who proposed to cooperate first, it is unlikely that he would lie. However, she still wants to ask Lu Shenyan, so that she can feel at ease.

So she asked cautiously, "Lu Shenyan, are you sure?" ”

"Yes." Although it was just one word, Lu Shenyan said it very seriously.

"Really?"

"Really." Still in a very serious tone.

Now Zhu Mancai is really relieved, since Lu Shenyan is confident, there is no need to go out on his own. Zhu Man, who felt very relaxed, yawned and said to Lu Shenyan: "Then I'll go to sleep, good night." ”

Before she could take a few steps, her slender wrist was grabbed tightly by the man behind her, and with a slight pull, she fell heavily into his arms.

"Shall I allow you to go? Well? Lu Shenyan blew in Zhu Man's ear and said ambiguously.

"Lu Shenyan, what are you doing? Let it go! Zhu Man was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Shenyan's actions and struggled desperately, but Lu Shenyan circled her tighter.

She was like a canary in a cage, with wings but no escape.
