Chapter 37: Heaven is never merciful
"That's why I gave the land to Ouyang Rui, I hope that whoever of them will build a happy fairy tale kingdom, not a lonely city filled with loneliness and desolation."
Lu Zhixue was confused, "You may have misunderstood, I have only met Gu Shaosi a few times. β
"Gu Shaosi is so pitiful." Zhou Rumeng: This is a heartfelt sigh.
Lu Zhixue smiled helplessly.
"You'd better be with Ouyang Rui."
"I'm not with him either." She explained dryly.
Zhou Rumeng shook his head, and then sighed, "I forgot to tell you that the time when Ouyang Rui was drunk was in the three years that you left, when you saw him drunk, in addition to laughing and lying on the ground, you will love him even more and be more desperate, I have known him for so long, I have seen him so out of control for the first time, just like in the novel, he lost three souls and seven souls, leaving only one body floating in the world, and the walking dead lingering." β
At the end, Zhou Rumeng also said, "Zhixue, in this world, the love that was missed, there is really no chance to do it again." β
When she said this, Lu Zhixue could feel that the woman in front of her was sad, so sad that her soul seemed to be crying, but in the next second, she smiled and laughed with you.
Lu Zhixue suddenly wanted to know what she had missed in those years of chasing Ouyang Rui's shadow.
When the two returned to the restaurant, Ouyang Rui had already asked someone to take away the leftovers and bring desserts after the meal.
"Ouyang Rui, go out to eat with me, never give me some dessert, tsk, treat people differently!" Zhou Rumeng shouted dissatisfiedly.
Lu Zhixue smiled awkwardly, she remembered that Ouyang Rui was used to ordering desserts after meals.
"If you know, it's good." Ouyang Rui said coldly, and then pushed a dessert in front of Lu Zhixue, and his smile became gentle.
Zhou Rumeng was dissatisfied, "Do you believe that I will give the land to Gu Shaosi for free when I turn my head?" β
"I remember that you have signed a contract to pay hundreds of millions of compensation."
"You, you, you ......" Zhou Rumeng was angry, "You two slowly show affection, I still have to take a plane, don't bother." β
Speaking, without waiting for the two to speak, Zhou Rumeng strode away.
Lu Zhixue was puzzled, "She's leaving?" β
Ouyang Rui nodded, "This is the last property she has left in the country, and she came back this time to deal with it." β
"Why?"
"After the gate, I talked about it in high school before I fell in love, so I was rejected, and then I went abroad."
Lu Zhixue smacked her tongue, and then lowered her eyes, "She should love that person very much." β
Ouyang Rui did not answer.
But the answer, Lu Zhixue is naturally clear, "Zhou Rumeng wants to start over." β
"No, if she wants to start over, she won't leave." Ouyang Rui's voice was very decisive.
Lu Zhixue still wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a loud explosion above her head, she raised her head suddenly, and the gorgeous fireworks were like colorful flowers blooming one after another in the dark blue velvet sky, reflecting the entire sky as bright as day.
It's beautiful.
Lu Zhixue sighed.
"You've always said you want to see the fireworks, but I don't know if it's too late." He said.
She turned her head sideways, and under the bright fireworks, his cold eyes were as bright as stars, carrying deep love and nostalgia for her like the sea.
She was slightly stunned, and then, her heart chambers were suddenly covered by a sour tide, she quickly turned her head sideways, looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and forced back the tears in her eyes.
She had annoyed him for nearly a week, and finally, he nodded and agreed to take her to see the fireworks, and that day happened to be the day Ouyang Rui's parents jumped off the building.
He must not have known that on that day, she was going to confess to him when the fireworks went off, and she practiced many times to tell him her love for him with the most sincere demeanor, the most sincere vows, and the most gentle voice, but the world was impermanent, and he never knew what kind of courage she mustered, just as she did not know that day, the distance between her and him would be stretched to a century away.
"Beautiful girl, can I ask you to do a dance."
Under the bright fireworks, he stretched out his hand to her, and there was unconcealed tension and caution on his handsome face.
Her brain was telling her to refuse, but her limbs were out of her control.
When she put her hand in his hand, the temperature of her palm made her eyes red for a moment, and she wanted to say, Ouyang Rui, once ....... She worked hard for half a year to confess to you when the fireworks went off, and then just like this, happily dancing a waltz under the dazzling and charming fireworks that is enough to make people remember for a lifetime.
She also wanted to ask, Ouyang Rui, do you know what fireworks represent?
Did you take me to see the fireworks to tell me that you had let go of the past and decided to start over? Or have you forgotten the promise of fireworks and just want to watch a spectacular fireworks on a whim?
There are a thousand words in her heart, but in fact, she didn't ask a word, she was afraid, afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, all the good things would be overturned in an instant.
Fireworks are easy to cold, people's hearts are fragile, not to mention her heart, which is already full of holes, can no longer withstand another unforgettable toss.
"Cher." He called out to her.
She looked up in confusion, and in the flickering light, his eyes were dark, unwavering, calm and deep, and there seemed to be a thousand thoughts hidden under the calm surface, almost overflowing.
Suddenly, he hooked his lips and smiled, and a bunch of fireworks happened to bloom in the sky, but his smile was still a hundred times more dazzling than the fireworks that bloomed, and the streamer flew, and Lu Zhixue froze.
"Shall we start over?"
Lu Zhixue was stunned, and the tears that were just hard to force back struck again, this time it was too turbulent, she couldn't control it, and the tears fell in a hurry.
Downstairs, Zhou Rumeng raised her head to enjoy the bright fireworks under the night sky, and then looked at the location on the top of the building, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, she whispered softly:
"Gu Shaosi, Gu Shaosi, if you appeared in Lu Zhixue's saddest eight years, maybe today, you can't say who is standing next to her."
But fate never mercifully gives people a chance to start over, and the same is true for her.
--
Sun Lixin was able to continue to work in Feiyu, but only temporarily, after this turmoil, she still had to leave, and the people who betrayed the company could give her such treatment, which was already favorable.
Lu Zhixue was finishing processing a bunch of mails and was about to rest, when she saw Sun Lixin coming over with a complicated expression.
"Lu Zhixue." She spoke.
"Something?" She smiled.
"Thank you." After a long while, Sun Lixin said seriously.
Lu Zhixue was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, it's Guo Jinghe who helped you." β
"I know." But she knows better that without Lu Zhixue, Guo Jinghe's plea has no effect at all, and in this company, the only person who can change the man's decision-making is the woman in front of her, and she alone, can let him help her mother.
"I have made a note of your kindness, and I will repay you if I have the opportunity in the future." She said very seriously, as if she had made an oath to the mountains and seas.
Lu Zhixue hurriedly waved her hand, "It's the president who decided to keep you, it's none of my business." β
"I understand."
She nodded solemnly, then turned to leave.
Lu Zhixue looked at her departing back, and suddenly hooked her lips and smiled, she didn't help the wrong person, such a person who knows how to repay her kindness can't be bad.
"Xuexue, did you really help her?" Wen Qiyao's face was incredulous.
Lu Zhixue smiled, "One more enemy is better than one more friend." β
"That's right." Wen Qiyao nodded in agreement, and then shouted excitedly, "Xuexue, what clothes are you going to wear at the next week's reception?" β
"Cocktail party?" She was puzzled, she didn't remember what kind of reception the company had arranged.
"You're busy and forget." Wen Qiyao said, "At seven o'clock next Monday night, Feiyu and Tengde will get together and have a drinking party, so that the two companies can still hold hands and be friends." β
Lu Zhixue was speechless, what the hell is this! The two companies that had just finished tearing up turned their heads and sat at a table with a friendly smile on their faces, and politely toasted each other? That atmosphere...... Lu Zhixue felt very cold just thinking about it.
"Why?"
"I also think it's strange to hear Ning Xichen say that it was the landlord of that land who put forward the conditions."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhixue immediately remembered Zhou Rumeng, the beautiful woman with sweet dimples but a unique temperament.
"Moreover, our Feiyu is the winner, Tengde, he is the defeated general, the winner and the defeated general are in the same place, will they really not fight? You see, could it be that the landlord deliberately wanted to see the two fight? β
Wen Qiyao thought in pieces.
"No, it won't." Lu Zhixue replied very firmly, if she hadn't seen Zhou Rumeng, she would probably have the same thoughts as Wen Qiyao.
That woman seemed to want Ouyang Rui and Gu Shaosi to shake hands and make peace, so this feast had absolutely no intention of creating war.
"You don't know him, how do you know what people think."
Lu Zhixue smiled, "Unfortunately, I just met last night." β
"Have you seen it?" Wen Qiyao's eyes widened, "Have you really seen that person?" β
"yes, what's wrong? Can't I see it? β
"No, I heard that the person was originally the queen of the gate, but ten years ago because of a coup/d'Γ©tat was implicated, the family was in the middle of the road, and her parents were imprisoned, she fled abroad alone, and then the matter was rehabilitated, and she came back, but soon took her parents abroad, and also settled down, and then began to deal with the fixed assets in her hands, but no matter how powerful the buyer is, she never comes forward and leaves these things to others to take care of."
Wen Qiyao sighed, "I thought that this time you and the president would meet her assistant, but I didn't expect it to be me." β
"You...... How do you know this? Lu Zhixue's breath was a little unstable.
Wen Qiyao didn't notice her abnormality, and said to herself, "Ning Xichen told me." β
When the words fell, Wen Qiyao felt a black shadow flash in front of her, and when she reacted, Lu Zhixue had already run into the president's office and closed the door by the way.
She stayed where she was.
Is there something wrong?
