Chapter 72: What Am I to Them?

The car drove for a long time, and at first I tried to remember the places the car passed, but when I got out of the tunnel and turned left and right no less than a dozen times, I couldn't remember the direction anymore.

Later, the car drove up the mountain road, and there were only not very bright street lamps on both sides, and the dark shadows of the trees around the street lamps. The mountain road is so narrow, if you are not careful, the car will overturn and die, and my heart will hang.

Fortunately, seeing the driver driving, it seems to be very familiar, not like the first time to drive this mountain road.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but my spirit was still tense. I don't understand why the first time in my life is related to the car. So much so that I have not been able to remove this knot from my heart.

But time is a good thing, and although I am scared now, I am no longer as shaky as I was in the first two years, shaking and shortness of breath, like I can't breathe. Maybe in my subconscious, I still believe in that person, and I will be so indifferent to danger at this moment.

I looked at my watch, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Since you've walked up the mountain, you're not far from the end, right?

At 11:40 a.m., the car drove into a certain garden and finally stopped. A two-story villa caught my eye, and the night light in the courtyard shone faintly, like a person waiting for the night to return.

"Mr. Wen, please come in."

I stepped in with my bag, and the middle-aged woman waiting at the door stretched out her hand to me and said softly: "This must be Mr. Wen, please hand over the bag and all the electronic products on your body to me for safekeeping, and when you leave, these will be returned to you." ”

The middle-aged woman speaks very kindly, but why not salute first and then soldier? If I resist, a lesson awaits me, right?

I didn't hesitate for two seconds before handing over the bag in my hand.

The middle-aged woman asked again, "Where's your phone?" ”

"It's all in the bag."

She seemed to be satisfied with my knowledge of current affairs, and there was a smile on her face, "Then Mr. Wen, do you want to eat something or go to rest?" ”

Do you treat the prisoners with the attitude of the guests? Why bother.

I shook my head, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and then said to the middle-aged woman, "I'll wait for Mr. Lu here." ”

She choked and walked away in silence.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and I raised my eyes and collided with Lu Huainian's eyes.

He walked over slowly, sat down on the couch across from me, and looked at me without saying a word. After watching it for about a minute or two, he said calmly: "Mr. Wen doesn't seem to be afraid at all, is he sure that I don't dare to do anything to you?" ”

I sneered: "Mr. Lu 'invited' me here, you might as well open the skylight and say something." You want that energy project, I can understand that. But you bet on the wrong treasure, instead of wasting time on me, it is better to give full play to your Lu Clan's advantages. I thought Mr. Lu knew the strength of your opponent very well. ”

He took a cigarette out of the cigarette case on the coffee table and lit it before putting it in his mouth. He took a puff and exhaled the smoke slowly, as if he were on vacation.

I turned sideways, away from the smell of smoke.

Lu Huainian put his right leg on his left leg and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.

Even if I knew him that well, I couldn't understand the smile. I just think that today's Lu Huainian, like a blood-sucking leech, is far from the previous deflated appearance when he was not sucking blood.

I can no longer react relevantly based on my knowledge of him.

If he doesn't speak, I'll just be silent.

"Mr. Wen should know what this time means to the Lu family. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and behind the glory of the scenery, there will always be some different shadows. I invited you here to stay overnight, compared to Shen Yinan's methods, I think it is much milder. ”

"Besides, I've also heard about Mr. Wen, I didn't believe it before, there are many women in business, who will lack the ability? can fight with Mr. Wen several times, and I have to admit that it is rare to achieve Mr. Wen's level. ”

"Mr. Wen's courage makes me admire. I can assure you that you will not lose a penny if you stay here. When Lu wins the project smoothly tomorrow, I will personally apologize to Mr. Wen. ”

After Lu Huainian finished speaking, he put out the cigarette in the ashtray, he immediately stood up, looked at me deeply, and said in a soft tone: "Then, good night." ”

I hung my head slightly, and read his words in my heart.

Is Lu Huainian despicable? Despicable indeed. Obviously can't do it to others, so find weaknesses to secretly attack. He made up his mind to use me to threaten Shen Yinan.

But he miscalculated.

Shen Yinan, how could he change his mind because of a woman? Not to mention that the relationship between him and me was not much better than the ice cube before, but even the recent relaxation of our relationship and the decision to be together did not affect him by half a point.

Lu Huainian's game of chess is destined to lose.

But why, is my heart so hard?

Thinking back to Shen Yinan's call with me earlier, his voice and his attitude just said everything? It's because I care about it, so I didn't even recognize the truth of the text message, so I rushed to find him, afraid that he would fall behind because of the source of the product.

I was so dizzy. My always rational mind disappeared without a trace when I encountered something related to Shen Yinan, and as a result, I fell into a trap.

That's right, Lu Huainian is despicable.

But if my relationship with Shen Yinan can be clearer and more trusting, how can I fall into this dilemma?

Tomorrow's result, if nothing else, Shen Yinan will get what he wants.

What about me? What Lu Huainian will do to me, and where Shen Yinan and I will go, I don't want to think about these things.

It's not that I'm not brave enough, but I'm once again humiliated by the cruelty of reality, and the cruelty lies in the fact that whether it's Lu Huainian or Shen Yinan, I'm an existence that is easy to be given up to them.

At this moment, my mind was mixed with various situations, unwillingness, anger, hurt, shame......

I overestimated myself. I thought that if I went out with sincerity, even if I couldn't get the same sincerity, at least I had some real feelings.

But as a result, I can still only embrace my grievances, I can still only feel sorry for my own ups and downs, except for me, no one will treat me like a sun, and avoid all my upheavals.

I unconsciously looked out the window, and it was pitch black.

There is always a kind of helplessness, which suddenly comes out of the bottom of the heart, which makes people sad.

I slowly got up from the couch, my legs were a little numb from holding one position for too long. I had only taken a few steps before the middle-aged woman came out of nowhere and stared at me.

"Is there any wine?" I asked her lightly.

The middle-aged woman quickly brought me a bottle of red wine and poured it for me.

"Thank you."

Lu Huainian came down from the upstairs again, after I drank half a bottle of red wine.

He gave me only one look and walked past me to the door.

I grabbed his arm, "Wait." There is something I want to ask Mr. Lu, I hope you will answer. ”

Lu Huainian withdrew his arm from my hand. His eyebrows are as clear as before, obviously he should be light and breezy, but he has changed his heart bound by the world.

"You ask."

I gathered all my thoughts and asked him sharply: "Is it a woman who cooperated with you to trick me out?" ”

Lu Huainian's eyes did not flash a trace of surprise, nor did he give me an answer.

His reaction just proved that my guess was right.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and wanted to laugh, but I didn't know if it would be more ugly than crying, so I didn't force it.

I fixed on looking at Lu Huainian's eyes. I used to see the stars, to see the sea, to see myself, to see the whole world, but now these eyes are still shining like stars, but there is no longer my world in them.

"Lu Huainian, you will definitely regret it."

After saying this, I couldn't hold back after all, I pulled his arm and bit it hard, how deep and deep, how painful and painful, and used this previous way to completely and officially end me and him from now on.

I was finally relieved, and of course, with the pain of re-cracking my wounds.

"You're crazy." Lu Huainian shook me off, his eyes full of disbelief.

I was thrown to the ground, but I didn't rush to get up, I just looked at him and smiled. Yes, I can laugh out loud. Who is more ruthless than whom, he doesn't remember the past, but I got rid of him with the memories of the past.

"You hurt me so much, I took a bite to vent my anger, and you still earned it." In the future, you don't want to hurt me again. I made up the latter sentence in my heart.

Lu Huainian glared at me, then grabbed the place I had bitten with his hand and strode away.

It was as if I had been reborn from the car accident more than four years ago, this time for real, living for myself.

At dawn, the sun came in through the window, and because it was on the mountain, I saw the world outside the window in the morning mist, and then the fog faded little by little, leaving behind the golden yellow of late autumn.

I waited patiently for them to let me go.

The middle-aged woman brought breakfast over, and I ate a little. At eleven o'clock, she brought lunch again, but I didn't eat it.

It was close to twelve o'clock, and the middle-aged woman respectfully returned my phone and bag, at which point my phone rang loudly.

It was Lu Huainian who called.

As soon as I picked it up, his slightly brisk voice came: "Blessing to Mr. Towen, Lu has won the project." I said that I would make amends to you personally. ”

Lu's took it? Why?

Although I don't know why Ling Shen let Lu win the project, I can be sure that Shen Yinan will never give up, and he will definitely not let Lu have a chance to come back to life. Perhaps, there are other plans behind this.

The same man in the suit and leather shoes yesterday sent me back to the city.

Old Song waited for me early, saw me get out of the black car, and asked me if I was okay.

I shook my head and asked Lao Song to send me back to Hualei. I noticed that the glass of the car window was replaced with a new one, and Lao Song said that he was waiting for my news last night, and he had been thinking about whether to tell Ye Xuan, but he couldn't sleep anyway, so he went to repair the car overnight.

"Don't tell anyone about it." What should be known will be known, and what should not be known will not be known.

I took the tissue box that I put in the back, reached in and took it out, and the two USB flash drives were still there, and I was relieved.

I sent Ye Xuan a WeChat message that I don't return to the company, I went home and sat down after rinsing, and put the things in the two USB disks on the cloud disk.

I took a new USB flash drive and copied it and stuffed it into the tissue box in the living room.

After doing this, I lay down, physically and mentally exhausted, and fell asleep in a few moments, and I slept deeply.

When I woke up, I couldn't see my fingers.

I was about to roll out of bed when I suddenly touched a touch of body temperature.

"Awake?"

I turned on the bedside lamp, and there was really Shen Yinan lying on the right, he also changed into pajamas, one hand on his forehead, and he didn't stare at me for a moment.

How do you describe the look in his eyes? I thought about it, and his eyes were a little cold, but not to the point of coldness.

My intuition has always been very accurate, and seeing Shen Yinan's expression like this, I suddenly understood that it was impossible for our relationship to go one step further.

In this case, there are many things that do not need to be spoken. I don't want to say it, and I don't have to mention it.

I felt embarrassed by the long silence, and I wondered if he would feel the same way.

Lying in a bed is not what it is like at all. I got out of bed first, looked for a shirt, trousers and coat, and turned back to Shen Yinan and said, "You change your clothes and go to the living room, I have something to say." ”

Then I went to the next study to change my clothes and give him the bedroom.

The main light was rarely lit in the living room, and I sat and waited for Shen Yinan to come out.

He wore a black shirt and dark gray trousers, and I wore a blue shirt and black trousers with a beige jacket, both of which were relatively formal attire.

Shen Yinan touched the cigarette case to take the cigarette, and I whispered, "Wait a while, wait for me to finish speaking." ”

He paused as he took the cigarette, a deeper coolness appeared in his eyes, and his thin lips slowly lifted, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I wanted to go to you last night and tell you about Pinyuan, but you are busy, maybe you should say that you don't want to see me and listen to me, in short, the result is that you didn't let me go to Ling Shen. Later......"

Shen Yinan interrupted me, his gaze becoming sharp, "How do you know that I don't want to see you and don't want to listen to you?" Maybe you should say what did you do to think so? ”

Look, my sixth sense is so accurate. When I was talking on the phone last night, I had already faintly sensed that something was wrong with him, and then I was taken to Lu Huainian's villa, I thought about it again, and I was even more sure that someone was stirring up trouble between me and him.

And this person is the person who used Shen Yinan's mobile phone to send me text messages, and he is also the person who cooperated with Lu Huainian to get me away.

I smiled and said, "Don't talk yet, listen to me." Later, I received a text message from you, asking me to go to Ling Shen, I was in a hurry to rush over, but I was surrounded and taken away by Lu Huainian's people on the way. I spent the night in his villa on the mountain, and you know his intentions, which is to use me to threaten you to abandon the energy project. ”

Shen Yinan looked at me with deep eyes.

I laughed and said, "I remember telling you that I wouldn't be with you if you had feelings or something that hadn't been sorted out. Now it seems that what happened to me recently was too much of a coincidence, and the coincidences were amazing. I admit that I am a very selfish person, and I don't want to spend time and time guessing, confronting, and solving these things again and again. What about you, does it have anything to do with me? “

Shen Yinan's face became more and more ugly, and he dragged me into his arms and kissed me fiercely on the lips.
