Chapter 124: Duplicity
Jiangdu Hotel's exquisite and exquisite signature dishes, Lu Jisheng only felt the same taste as chewing wax after eating it.
During the banquet, he and his father Lu Huaizhou were very silent, and the two had a tacit understanding to eat together.
Finally, Lu Jisheng finished the last bite, put down his chopsticks and stood up and said, "I'll go to check out." Then he quickly walked out of the room.
Lu Huaizhou had an expression on his face that he had expected to be like this, and continued to taste the rest of the meal alone.
After Lu Jisheng went out, he went straight to the back kitchen, and in a small open space outside the back of the restaurant, he saw Jingsheng washing dishes under the faucet.
At the moment, she was standing there with her back to her, her hair tied into a simple ponytail.
Lu Jisheng slowly walked behind her and put one hand in his pocket.
"It seems that your heart-to-heart Jian Fan doesn't care much about you." He spoke sarcastically.
Jingsheng's hand that was brushing the dishes stopped, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Lu Jisheng standing only one meter away from her.
Under the dim light, Lu Jisheng's posture was still upright, and her high-end suit and expensive leather shoes were in stark contrast to her down-and-out waiter dress at the moment.
"Just half a month ago, I saw him walking with another beautiful woman in his arms at a banquet." Lu Jisheng's tone sounded like a kind of revenge, "And you, you're washing dishes here." ”
Jing Sheng turned off the faucet, only looked at Lu Jisheng's expression for a second, then looked away, and his hands were nervously intertwined.
Lu Jisheng suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist and mentioned it in front of him: "Speak, tell me how you feel now?" Happy? Tell me how happy you are now? ”
He saw the burn on Jing Sheng's palm, and couldn't help but increase the strength on his hand.
"You... You let go of me..."Jing Sheng wanted to pull his hand back, but after trying a few times, Lu Jisheng still didn't move.
Jingsheng looked up at Lu Jisheng's face, there was an obvious urgency in his eyes, but he closed his lips tightly and did not speak.
"......" Jing Sheng lowered his head again to avoid his gaze, and said in a very small voice, "Mr. Lu is angry about the tea just poured before, right?" If yes then I apologize to you again, don't ......"
"What else would you say besides being sorry?" Lu Jisheng spoke quickly, and there was a feeling of hatred for iron and steel, "Didn't you hear what I just told you?" Jian Fan hugged a ......"
"Mr. Lu." Jing Sheng calmly interrupted his words and looked at him with firm eyes, "I know what you say, but I still love him." ”
Lu Jisheng's expression froze, and he paused for a while before slowly letting go of Jing Sheng's hand.
Why can the person I once hold in the palm of my hand be so humble for the sake of another?
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for delaying you, the exit is over there, please go back."
"Chen Jingsheng! What are you doing there?! A neutral female voice came from not far away. Lu Jisheng looked sideways, and saw two waiters, one fat and one thin, walking over.
The chubby waiter kept scolding: "Tell you to work, you stinky and conscienceless are lazy, aren't you?" Believe it or not, I'll punish you?! ”
However, she changed her attitude the moment she saw Lu Jisheng: "Oh, Mr. Lu, you... Are you here too? Hehe...... How do you have the leisure to come to this back kitchen? ”
Lu Jisheng didn't answer, he just looked down at Jing Sheng, who was silent and didn't make any rebuttal.
"Oh Xiao Nian, you get rid of this eyesore!" The fat waiter commanded the skinny one with his eyes and body movements.
The thin waiter immediately understood, pulled Jing Sheng by the shoulders and pulled her away.
And Jingsheng didn't shirk it, and let the woman pull him away.
Until he disappeared, Jing Sheng didn't look back at Lu Jisheng again.
"Oh, tell me, Mr. Lu, it's rare for you to show you a joke, just now that one is new to our store, and the unruly ones will entangle you, don't take it to heart!"
Lu Jisheng didn't speak anymore and turned to leave.
The fat waiter was still shouting in the back: "Mr. Lu walks slowly!" Remember to come back next time! ”
When he returned the same way, he met Lu Huaizhou, who was waiting for him halfway.
Lu Huaizhou looked at the expression on Lu Jisheng's face with interest, and said, "I said I was going to settle the bill, but I didn't see anyone for so long." ”
Lu Jisheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Then I'll go to the knot now." ”
"Hmph. I'm done. Lu Huaizhou walked directly past Lu Jisheng and walked to the door of the hotel with a crutch.
On the way back, Lu Huaizhou and Lu Jisheng sat in the back seat together.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Huaizhou asked, "How do you feel now?" Isn't it a bit regretful? You want a woman, what can't my Lu family find for you? But it's good for you to find someone who is so unpopular. This kind of woman who can betray at will is not worth it at all..."
"Dad." Lu Jisheng screamed softly, and then turned his head out the window, "Don't say it." ”

Xue Ziyin found that Lu Jiwen was very abnormal recently. Very abnormal.
In the past, he was always dressed in sunshine, but his aura in the past few days has been so low that it can be described as dark clouds.
At this time, they were sitting facing each other in the library reading books.
Xue Ziyin poked Lu Jiwen, who was lying on the table sullenly, with her fingers: "Hey, what's wrong with you these days?" I don't even read your favorite books. ”
Lu Jiwen pursed his mouth and looked dejected: "Oh, don't ask, annoying ......"
He put the book over his head, supported his face with his left hand, and turned the pen in his hand with one hand.
Xue Ziyin leaned in front of him and whispered, "I see that you have been going to the kindergarten to pick up Xiao Yu recently, isn't it usually your brother who picks you up?" ”
“…… My brother is busy now, so I'm going to help him! Anyway, the school is closed and there is nothing to do. ”
Their university has been temporarily suspended due to reconstruction, and the school leadership has decided to suspend enrollment for the next semester and transfer students from the disaster-stricken campus to the campus in S City.
In addition, after discussion, the leaders also decided to cancel the final exams of all students this semester, and the grades were all considered to be passed, which can be regarded as a little psychological comfort to the affected students.
"Oh......" Xue Ziyin pretended to continue reading in disbelief.
It's the middle of June now, and the sound of cicadas outside the window and the excessively high temperature make people feel irritable.
Lu Jiwen felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the bookmark at hand and put it in the book, stood up and said, "Let's get here first today, I can't read it." ”
"Wait, I'll go with you." Xue Ziyin also stood up and took the book and walked to Lu Jiwen's side.
She said, "Then tell me what you're bothering about?" Maybe I can help you? ”
"I ......" Lu Jiwen almost blurted out, but after seeing Xue Ziyin's face, he gave up again, "Anyway, I won't tell you women about this." ”
Something to do with women?
Xue Ziyin's eyes widened, her eyeballs rolled around, and asked, "Could it be... What's wrong with your brother's relationship with Jingsheng, right? ”
Lu Jiwen was taken aback by her, oh my God, a woman's intuition is so terrifying.
"Oh, anyway, you don't have to worry about it, I'll be fine by myself in two days." Lu Jiwen opened the car door with the car key, "Let's go, I'll send you home first." ”
"Changing the subject, there must be a problem." Xue Ziyin had an expression on her face that you had seen through me.
"Tsk." Lu Jiwen closed the open door again, "If you ask again, I will give you a shared bicycle at the crossing and let you ride back by yourself." ”
Xue Ziyin rolled her eyes, pouted and sat in the co-pilot.
Lu Jiwen also sat in the convertible sports car he bought, and said while wearing a seat belt: "Don't ask anything, I won't tell you." ”
"Okay, okay." Xue Ziyin nodded like a child, "Let's talk about our new campus, okay?" Have you ever been to that super big lake? I've heard that it's beautiful at night. ”
——————————
Back at home, Xue Ziyin always felt that something was wrong with Lu Jiwen, she sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, thinking about what was wrong with him.
There was a sound of the door opening at the entrance, followed by the voice of the maid at home: "Young master, you are back." ”
"Well, I'm in a good mood today, and I think you're very beautiful." Xue Zicheng picked the maid's chin with a rippling face, causing the maid to bow her head and smile shyly.
His hair has been dyed pink to brown, and he wears a leather jacket and the latest limited-edition leather shoes.
After molesting the maid Xue Zicheng, she saw her sister sitting on the sofa and said, "Yo, you came back early today~"
"Brother, I'm worried about it now." Xue Ziyin looked up at the ceiling, her eyes straight.
"What's the trouble?" Although Xue Zicheng was extremely rebellious, he was still very fond of his sister, and he immediately sat on the sofa to inquire about the situation.
"It's not that Lu Jiwen yet, he's been weird lately, it's awkward, and he won't say anything when you ask him."
"Oh." Xue Zicheng immediately understood what was going on, he put his hands behind his head and stretched out his legs, "Eighty percent is because of his brother's business, right?" ”
Xue Ziyin's eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked straight at Xue Zicheng: "Brother, how do you know?" ”
