Jian Xichen and Lu Jisheng looked at each other, and they both read a lot of information from each other's eyes.

"Why are you here?" Fang Xiaolu asked, a little emotional.

"Wife." Jian Xichen put his arm around her shoulders, "Don't worry. Since Mr. Lu is here, we have to invite someone to come in for a drink, right? ”

"......" Lu Jisheng didn't speak, he quickly constructed in his mind countless hypotheses and reasons why their husband and wife appeared here.

"Come on, Mr. Lu." Jian Xichen made a gesture of invitation to him, "You also want to know what has happened in the past few days, right?" ”

————————

Lu Jisheng walked into the house, this is a very ordinary residential building, the room is simple and warm, there are cute dolls everywhere, and there are some broken flowers and cartoon stickers on the wall.

It is a small area, with only a master bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a study.

It is not the same style at all from the luxurious and beautiful villa where Jian Xichen usually lives.

They came to the study and sat down.

Lu Jisheng opened his mouth anxiously: "Why are you here?" And ......"

"Don't worry, drink some tea." Jian Xichen picked up the teapot on the table, which contained tea that had already been brewed, poured a cup for Lu Jisheng and pushed it in front of him.

"Thank you." Lu Jisheng took a symbolic sip.

"Well, where do you start?" Jian Xichen and Fang Xiaolu glanced at each other.

Fang Xiaolu answered: "Something happened to Jingsheng's family, something happened!" Her father became a criminal and was wanted, and her mother was also inexplicable...... It's gone. ”

Fang Xiaolu's face was full of sadness and unbearable, and she couldn't talk anymore in the middle of speaking, Jian Xichen hurriedly put her arms around her shoulders to comfort her.

Lu Jisheng's hands trembled a little, he took a deep breath, and said, "I only found out tonight, so I wanted to come to her to ask for clarification." ”

"Don't ask! The more she asked, the more sad it became! Fang Xiaolu had tears in her eyes and her voice choked, "Where have you been for so long?" Why don't you come out to comfort her?! Do you know that her spirit is about to collapse because of this incident! And you actually left her at this time! It's too much! ”

"Okay, okay, wife, don't be angry." Jian Xichen held her hand and coaxed her.

Lu Jisheng did not explain or refute.

He tilted his head to the side, turned back again, and stopped talking, but said nothing.

He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, trying to lighten his mood.

“NO！ Smoking is not allowed here. Jian Xichen raised his index finger and shook it in front of Lu Jisheng's eyes, and then drew a big semicircle on Fang Xiaolu's abdomen.

“…… Pregnant? The cigarette in Lu Jisheng's mouth was about to fall out.

"That's it." Jian Xichen's face was very proud, "How is it, I'm fast, right?" ”

Lu Jisheng nodded knowingly, and then put the cigarette back in the box.

"Don't keep interrupting." Fang Xiaolu gently patted Jian Xichen's hand that was still scratching on her abdomen, "Let's get down to business." ”

"Okay, get down to business." Jian Xichen hurriedly nodded again and again, and kissed Fang Xiaolu on the forehead, "Wife, go out first, I'll tell Mr. Lu." Don't worry, I'm sure I'll help you figure it out. ”

Fang Xiaolu looked at Lu Jisheng and then at Jian Xichen, her face full of unease.

"Go ahead, don't worry, leave it to me." Jian Xichen assured her softly again.

“…… All right. Fang Xiaolu finally chose to believe in her husband and walked out of the study.

After the door was closed, Jian Xichen pretended to be relaxed and said, "Now you can smoke as much as you want, I know that you are under a lot of pressure in your heart." ”

Lu Jisheng nodded: "Then I'll go to the window." ”

He walked to the window farthest away from Jian Xichen, opened the window, sat on the windowsill and lit a cigarette. The cool evening breeze was blowing right in front of him, spreading the breath of night on his face.

"My wife noticed something was wrong about half a month ago." Jian Xichen began to narrate, "She has always kept in touch with that Miss Chen by text message, but one day she suddenly couldn't get in touch. ”

"For this reason, my wife was very anxious, and she looked for many days without a figure. At that time, I wanted to take her out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Chen, who was working part-time, in the hotel. ”

Lu Jisheng smoked quietly, with his back to Jian Xichen, very silent.

My wife quickly asked her what was going on, and she hesitated for a while but told her about her family, and she said that the reason why she came out to work was to pay off the family's debts. You also know... Her parents are no longer around, so she can only rely on herself. ”

Lu Jisheng frowned and took a hard puff of his cigarette, and his voice was hoarse: "How much does she owe?" I'm going to help her pay it off. ”

"It's all paid off." Jian Xichen said.

"What?!" Lu Jisheng turned around.

"It was paid off that day, and my wife came to ask me for help. She's pregnant, I don't want her to worry about this little thing, so I'll just pay it back. And I also let my subordinates teach those debt collectors a lesson, and I can guarantee that those people will not have the courage to harass Miss Chen again. ”

Lu Jisheng turned his face away with a complicated expression, took another puff of cigarette, and then spit out vigorously: "How many in total?" I'll pay you back on her behalf. ”

"Hehe, I don't want to worry about this little thing with you~" Jian Xichen stood up and leaned his body against the table, and said with a smile, "But this favor can be counted." ”

Lu Jisheng smiled: "Of course, if there is a good cake in the future, I will be the first to share it with you." ”

The smile on Jian Xichen's lips deepened: "Mr. Lu is really refreshing. ”

Lu Jisheng walked back to the table and pressed the cigarette into the empty ashtray, continuing the conversation just now: "Since the debts have been paid off, why does she still have to go out to work?" ”

Jian Xichen's smile gradually disappeared from his face, replaced by a serious face: "According to my wife, Miss Chen not only goes to work, but also works almost 24 hours a day, taking on several jobs a day. My wife once tried to persuade her, but Miss Chen herself was very insistent on it. ”

"Psychiatrists say it's a way to escape reality. Maybe Miss Chen just doesn't want to be idle, because when she is idle, she will think about things at home. In order to keep myself from being immersed in sadness, I had to fill the time with non-stop work. ”

Lu Jisheng showed a trace of grief and pity on his face, he could actually understand this feeling, because he had also used this way to escape the sad reality.

"Did the psychiatrist say that it can be cured in any way?" Lu Jisheng asked.

Jian Xichen shook his head: "The doctor said that this is not a wound that can be healed in a short time. My wife once tried to force her to stay at home and play with her, but the result was that she herself refused to eat, or rather, her body refused to eat, and she would vomit everything she ate. ”

"So, we didn't have to let her go back to work, at least she could still eat normally despite her extreme physical exhaustion."

Lu Jisheng walked back to the window in silence and lit a second cigarette.

"Actually...... I'm a little sorry to say this. Jian Xichen had a hint of apology on his face, "Originally, my wife wanted to live with Miss Chen to help her tide over the difficulties, but I insisted...... The emotions in Ms. Chan may be contagious to my wife, who is not very safe in the early stages of pregnancy. ”

"So I bought the house opposite Miss Chen so that my wife could have a breathing space, and only allowed her to talk for a while when Miss Chen got off work and then came back here. It can be a bit difficult for Miss Chen to live alone, so if you want to blame, you can put this on my head. ”

"It's fine. Pregnant women should be careful, you are doing the right thing. ”

Jian Xichen smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "But...... Miss Chen, what are you going to do? She couldn't last long in this state. ”

Lu Jisheng's eyes were firm: "I will be responsible to the end." ”

Jian Xichen nodded knowingly, he walked to the bookshelf, took out an envelope and a key from the cabinet and handed them to Lu Jisheng.

"This is the spare key to Miss Chen's room, and my wife is not worried about secretly matching it. And this envelope, which is my surprise to you. ”

Lu Jisheng was a little afraid of the word "surprise" recently, he took the envelope and the key, and touched the back of his neck.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, just remember to count me as a favor. I secretly gave it to you behind my wife's back. It's bad luck for her to find out about me. Maybe you have to kneel on the keyboard, miserable. Jian Xichen had a selfless expression of dedication to you.

Lu Jisheng was amused by his words: "Okay, there is just a piece of land on hand that is very suitable for your current development prospects, you set a time, and I will let the people from the company talk to you." ”

"Haha, Mr. Lu is polite."
