Chapter 73: Rodging

At the end of the video, Xue Zhen looked at the camera, her red and swollen eyes were confused, and she muttered: "Obviously when we had a good relationship, he was very good to me, I don't know why, he became so ...... so fast"

This remark also successfully established the image of Xue Zhen as a poor young girl abandoned by her lover in the eyes of the public.

The comments under the video are also being updated at a rate of 99+ per second-

[This girl looks quite young, so pitiful......]

[Lu Zhengcheng actually has such a son! ] 】

[The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, maybe Lu Zhengcheng himself is not a good thing. 】

[Deceiving girls' feelings, forcing others to have an abortion, and wanting to get engaged to other people, scum! ] 】

[Get out and apologize!] 】

Lu Jiming didn't expect Xue Zhen to have the courage to go to reporters to report, thinking of the continuous vicious comments at the bottom, Lu Jiming's reddened eyes showed deep hideousness and resentment: "Slut! ”

As he spoke, he was about to go out in stride, but was stopped by Lu Zhengcheng: "Where are you going?" ”

"Of course, I went to that slut to settle accounts and let her know what she said and what price she had to pay!"

Lu Zhengcheng was even more annoyed when he heard this, and stepped forward to slap him without relentlessness, seeing that his eyes were full of contempt and disgust: "How many times have I told you, ah?" Things must be done cleanly and neatly, and there must be no handles left behind! ”

"I didn't take advantage of the opportunity at the beginning, and now I want to make a move, it's too late!"

"She's well known to the public now, and if something happens now, it's only going to be worse for us!"

Lu Zhengcheng's personal mobile phone suddenly began to vibrate, he glanced at the caller, quickly picked it up, his tone was respectful and humble, and he nodded again and again: "...... Yes, don't worry, I'll take care of this as soon as possible. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... It's really my fault......"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhengcheng's face became more and more blue and black, and his bloodless lips trembled uncontrollably.

He staggered directly to the corner of the study and took out a sturdy and shiny pear blossom stick hidden in the shadows.

Lu Zhengcheng didn't have many scruples outside at home, and the face of kindness and harmony year after year also made the violent and gloomy mood accumulated in his heart more and more intense, and he was often cold and impermanent when facing Lu Jiming, and he used this wooden stick to beat him at every turn if he was not satisfied.

This time too.

He carried a stick and hit Lu Jiming's back directly, and the stick touched the flesh and made a solid muffled sound.

"Brute, there is more than enough success and more failure!"

This was followed by the second and third sticks......

Lu Zhengcheng's eyes condensed with deep and terrifying anger, and his attack was different from the ruthlessness of the past.

"Right now, the mayor's position was originally at your fingertips, but you waste thing just made such a big deal at this time!"

"Waste, what a useless waste!"

Lu Zhengcheng didn't know how many times he hit him, and he didn't throw the stick aside until he was out of strength, and the shirt on Lu Jiming's body was already soaked with blood.

Lu Zhengcheng sat on the sofa tiredly.

The beating just now had dissipated most of the anger in his eyes, and he looked at Lu Jiming's gaze at the moment with only calm disgust and disappointment.

Penetrating into the bone marrow, it is cold and piercing.

In the silence of the room, I could only hear his deep voiceβ€”

"If only you weren't your brother who died in that accident!"

Lu Jiming endured the severe pain he inflicted on himself and the angry insults that were louder than one voice, but his eyes turned red after hearing his words that were so light that he could barely hear them.

He lowered his eyes and could see the documents and papers on the ground not far away that were casually thrown to the ground by Lu Zhengcheng.

That's the result of the company that he has spent countless efforts to make during this time.

But so what?

He will never get a word of praise, and he will never be able to compare to a dead man!

Thinking that he was doing this with the hope of satisfying Lu Zhengcheng, Lu Jiming couldn't help but want to sneer.

He stood still, feeling the blood dripping down his back and trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Zhengcheng looked at his blood-stained face and blood-stained back, and looked away in annoyance: "Go back to recuperate for two days first, and then crawl over to admit your mistakes and repent when you can get up!" ”

Lu Jiming went out without saying a word.

The maid in the corridor was startled by Lu Jiming, who had a pale face and blood oozing from his back, and subconsciously wanted to help, but he pushed him away: "Get out!" ”

He did not allow anyone to touch him.

Today is a weekly maid's cleaning, the Lu family's villa is some years old, and the ordinary European architecture villa is different, the furniture in the Lu family's villa is made of good quaint and expensive wood.

This kind of wood needs to be carefully tended and wiped so that it is not buried, so the housekeeper arranges a major cleaning once a week, and at this moment there are many servants in the corridor cleaning and wiping.

The people who can be selected to work in such a family must be smart people who know how to read words and feelings, and know when to pretend to be deaf and when to pretend to be blind.

Just like at this moment, Lu Jiming's abnormality fell in everyone's eyes, but everyone was silent and silently doing their own work.

And Lu Jiming actually had back pain that he couldn't stand up at all, and he didn't care about anything anymore, so he returned to his room in an embarrassed manner.

After closing the door, he fell to the ground, thinking back to the scene just now, and he must have spread his embarrassment to the servants tomorrow......

He began to laugh silentlyβ€”

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, there is nothing in this world that is worth thinking about.

Of course, no one will take him to heart either.

After all, his biological father was eager to let him die in exchange for his brother, who had been dead for seven years......

Lu Jiming was lying on the ground, the hard wooden floor rubbing against the wound on his back, and the severe pain made his handsome and beautiful facial features begin to twist, but he didn't move.

He even began to laugh uncontrollably, revealing his bloodstained teethβ€”

What a pity......

No matter how sorry Lu Zhengcheng was, the person who died was his brother, not him.

This is a fact that cannot be changed.

The intense mood swings and serious injuries soon consumed Lu Jiming's physical strength and energy.

He lay on the ground, his body convulsing and convulsing from pain from time to time, and he dreamed in a blur.

……

Snow, so big snow, white and vast.

A clear and familiar young voice was calling out a name: "Mingyuan, Lu Mingyuan!" ”

"Mingyuan, you go down first, I'll pull the rope to protect you."

"Okay."

……

"Mingyuan, I picked it!"

"Woo-" was the sound of the rope breaking.

Something plunged into the depths of the snow-capped mountain canyon, stirring up a burst of blood-red flowers in the ice and snow......

The whole world fell silent.

At the same time, the Yu family.

In the study, Yu Xueshen wore glasses, sat on the sofa for hospitality, and looked at Ning Yi, who was also sitting on the sofa.

"Lu Jiming's matter, you should have heard about it."

Ning Yi had a smooth and quiet smile on his lips, and he couldn't see any shock or sadness: "I heard about it." ”

Yu Xueshen's eyes touched her unwavering expression, and his heart was strangely happy.

For the sake of profit, he was willing to let her out.

But in his heart, he still regarded Ning Yu as an item unique to him.

The most common and most hypocritical smile appeared on Yu Xueshen's face: "These days, you are doing a good job. ”

"It only took such a short time to coax Lu Jiming to get engaged to you."

Ning Yi's smile deepened at the right time, and he lowered his eyes and said, "You have taught well over the years." ”

Yu Xueshen didn't feel more happy, but he still remembered the business, so he coughed lightly and said, "Then what do you think now?" ”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Ning Yu.

Ning Yi took it with both hands and held the delicate and silky cup: "What can I think, I listen to your father." ”

Yu Xueshen shook his head: "You don't have to shy away from it, just say it." ”

Since Ning Yi took the initiative to recommend herself, Yu Xueshen suddenly discovered that she had grown up.

She possesses enough beauty and intelligence to bring unimaginable benefits to herself.

Far more than torturing people with those torture instruments, it is a benefit that makes him happy.

It was also after that day that Yu Xueshen never let Ning Yi enter the dark room of the study again.

Ning Yi paused for two seconds before asking, "Then what are your thoughts?" ”

Yu Xueshen folded his hands on his knees and said slowly: "If it was in the past, then this marriage would naturally have more advantages than disadvantages." ”

"It's just that right now, Lu Jiming has such a heavy negative public opinion effect, Lu Zhengcheng is bound to be affected, and I don't know if the mayor's position can be smoothly in his hands......"

Yu Xueshen said, taking a sip of tea with a solemn expression.

Ning Yi also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and the expected disdain flashed in his eyes.

Of course, he wants to use his power to get more benefits, but for a hypocritical person like him, what he values most is his own image of the outside world.

Whether your reputation is good or bad is the most important thing.

Now let Ning Yi get engaged to Lu Jiming, who is notorious and everyone shouts and beats, then their family will inevitably become the target of public criticism, so won't the "kind-hearted businessman" he has worked hard for many years be wasted?

Ning Yi put down the tea bowl, raised his eyes and said to him: "Father, you are very right in your analysis......

She smiled lightly and said in a pleasant voice: "But the current situation is not completely bad for us, I have a plan, I want to talk to you about ......"

……

After Yu Xueshen listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, he said a few good words in a row, and even stood up, wanting to take Ning Yu to visit the Lu family immediately.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the study, and outside the door was the servant's respectful voice: "Sir, there is a guest visiting." ”

Yu Xueshen never expected that the duke's son would also come to his house.

Ning Yi went downstairs, and an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes when he looked at Gu Huai's handsome and warm face under the living room light.

I didn't expect that the first one who couldn't sit still was him.

"Gu Huai?"

Ning Yi walked to the living room and looked at Gu Huai with a surprised expression.

Gu Huai's gaze thought that he could control himself well, but it was not until the moment he saw Ning Yi that he realized that his thoughts had already flooded, and his gaze fell on her face for a long time.

The smile was far more sincere than just now, and his voice was clear: "It's me, long time no see." ”

It was the first time for Yu Xueshen to encounter such a situation, and he was a little cramped, but he still subconsciously said in a flattering tone: "Since you are classmates, I don't know if you have had lunch, do you want to join us here-"

Gu Huai's cold gaze lightly swept the smile on his face, and his tone was still polite: "No need, I came to ask if it is inconvenient for Ning Yi to go to the Lu family with me now." ”

He obviously also came here after knowing about Lu Jiming's matter.

Yu Xueshen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile: "It's convenient, of course it's convenient." ”

He just wanted to say that Ning Yi was going to Lu's house, but Ning Yi interrupted him-

"Father, we'll go first."

Looking at the figures of Ning Yi and Gu Huai, Yu Xueshen was about to move.

If Ning Yi could climb to the rank of duke's heir, wouldn't it be more beneficial......

After Gu Huai learned that Lu Jiming had an accident, his first reaction was to be happy.

Uncontrollable pleasure.

Ever since he learned that Lu Jiming was going to get engaged to Ning Yi, he forcibly stuffed his desires and dark and obscure emotions into the depths of his heart that was closed and did not see the light of day.

For him, who grew up in the royal family and was accustomed to cumbersome ceremonial procedures, the significance of engagement was no less important than marriage.

Since people's feelings have progressed to this point, why should he cause trouble because of those delusions that should not be there?

He continued his life, forcing himself to return to his previous state of ignoring the outside world and concentrating on painting.

But now he realizes that it is difficult to go back to the past, and the repetitive life that made him feel at ease before is now so boring.

Dead and depressed.

It wasn't until he heard the news of Lu Jiming's accident that he felt a lot more relaxed.

There are even some exhilarating feelings that should have been so long-ago.

See, even if he doesn't do anything, they won't go on well.

Lu Jiming is a good-for-nothing rotten person, and Ning Yi is not a good match for him at all.

Not worthy at all!

He couldn't wait for anything, so he hurriedly went out and came to Ning Yi's house, just to let her end it all as soon as possible.

……

Gu Huai hid the joy in his heart, and his voice was as usual: "I also know about Lu Jiming's things, he really didn't do it right." ”

"But...... In fact, he has always been like that, a flowery and affectionate person. ”

The sun was shining outside, shining on Ning Yi's silent side face, coating her whole person with a faint, soft and fragile halo.

Gu Huai walked behind her, and his heart paused with pity: "You...... Don't be too sad. ”

He said softly, "After all, it's not you who did the wrong thing, it's him." ”

"I came to pick you up today to go to the Lu family, in fact, I also want you to have a complete break with them."

Gu Huai's tone was the same, but when he said this, there were a few traces of dark emotions in his eyes.

…… He actually wanted to let Ning Yi see Lu Jiming when she was most excited and angry, so that she would break off with him in anger as much as possible.
