my name, your last name

Chapter 26 Hope to have you by my side
Gan Lu was awakened by the sound of a car driving in, and immediately felt relieved, and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.Three hours ago, Shang Xiuwen drove out to meet Wu Wei, and told her not to wait for him before leaving.But she slept in his office in the afternoon, and the villa was eerily quiet, so she casually found a thread-bound copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in the study, and leaned on the bed to read it until she barely felt sleepy. I just lay down, but I couldn't sleep as peacefully as usual.

Shang Xiuwen came in and sat by the bed, gently stroking her face: "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I can't sleep well. It's too quiet outside. I always feel that a fox fairy or a female ghost will suddenly come out."

Shang Xiuwen smiled: "According to this, I have long been haunted by a fox fairy or a beautiful ghost. Do you want to find a Taoist priest to test it out?"

Gan Lu snorted: "Sleeping in such a decorated room every day, it's no wonder you don't have Liaozhai-style dreams."

Shang Xiuwen whispered next to her ear: "Living here, I did have a dream, more than once, I dreamed of you."

Gan Lu's face was slightly hot, and she leaned on the pillow and laughed straight: "I don't care, I'm fine during the day, but I refuse to stay here alone tomorrow night. I don't have the good fortune to enjoy the villa life. It's better to live in the downtown area."

"Don't worry, I will definitely be with you tomorrow night."

"How did you talk with the third brother?"

Shang Xiuwen shook his head: "I picked up my uncle and went to find Wu Wei together. He played the recording for us. It was indeed a conversation between He Jingyi and a major leader of the smelter, involving a large amount of money and other Two factory leaders."

"This should be able to overthrow Yixin's merger, right?"

"Theoretically, this is the case, but we have very different opinions on how to deal with this recording. My uncle advocated that the recording should be handed over to Kong, the deputy mayor who is in charge of industry, and at the same time asked Yixin to formally withdraw from the merger of the smelter. Wu Wei disagreed. He What he really hates is He Jingyi. He thinks that the city will only deal with the leaders of the smelter, but for the sake of Yixin's reputation in the city's other investments and maintaining the investment environment, he will not do anything to her. He plans to take this matter step by step. The incident has reached the point where no one can control it, and He Jingyi's reputation has been ruined."

Gan Lu couldn't understand these complicated political tactics, so she hesitated: "What do you think?"

"Uncle's thinking is right, and I also advocate downplaying this matter. After listening to the recording, I spoke directly to Chen Hua, the chairman of Yixin, and he promised to come over immediately to deal with it. The government really hopes to reduce the impact on the Control it to a minimum and avoid the notoriety of only supporting local private enterprises and curbing foreign investment. Otherwise, it will be very passive to participate in foreign investment promotion in the future. Xusheng must leave room for things in order to gain a foothold in the local area, taking into account all aspects of the relationship, He cannot be allowed to be quick for a while."

"Then... is the third brother willing?"

"Of course he doesn't want to. But uncle will persuade him. As for what conditions uncle gives him, that's a matter between their father and son, and I won't get involved." He stared down at her, "Lulu, can you understand what I said mean?"

"I can't say that I fully understand, this matter is too complicated for me. However," Gan Lu smiled slightly, "I have already promised to trust you. Is this enough?"

Shang Xiuwen hugged her tightly.

This hug is intimate, but not limited to the body.Unlike a few hours ago that flooded all their senses, they were unrestrained, gave up all thinking and just indulged in passion.

Gan Lu fell in his arms, feeling full and peaceful joy.It doesn't seem to matter what kind of decision he wants to make. What is important is that she doesn't feel the need to use reason to convince herself before she can give her trust.

The next day, Shang Xiuwen went to meet the client first, and then arranged for Wei Huasheng to accompany him. He returned to the villa, picked up Gan Lu, put her in the car, and said he would take her to a place.

The car drove along the outer ring of City J to the other side of the city.Gan Lu got out of the car and looked, and couldn't help laughing. This was the mining area museum that Shang Xiuwen brought her to three years ago. Although it was the weekend, the museum was still deserted.Shang Xiuwen walked in holding her hand, and she found that only a few adults and children were visiting inside.The exhibits are just like what Shang Xiuwen told her before. There are various ore crystals, paleontological fossils, smelting facilities and gold panning tools from different periods. More importantly, these introductions are not simply discussing the facts, but adding relevant poems, historical evolution, and anecdotes of characters.A young mother was explaining to her son, who looked only six or seven years old, and the little boy listened very carefully.

"When I was young, I thought this place was very big and wonderful." Shang Xiuwen said in a low voice, "When I came to see it later, I always felt that it was different from what I remembered."

Gan Lu chuckled: "It's not surprising. When I was a child, my father always took me to catch butterfly specimens on a mountain in the suburbs. I had the impression that the mountain was very high. I found out later that it was a hill at best. The altitude is less than 200 meters." She said with some regret, "But this museum is indeed too small, otherwise it will attract more people to visit."

Shang Xiuwen also smiled: "Xusheng's board of directors passed a resolution and decided to donate a sum of money to fund the expansion and renovation of this place. The plan has been reported to the city and should be approved soon. While the place is still in its original state, I It’s a wish to take you to see it.”

Gan Lu was a little surprised: "You still have the time to make this plan."

"It's not all for my childhood hobby. Now I'm a vulgar businessman after all. Let's go for a walk."

Shang Xiuwen took her slowly along the path to the back of the mountain. It was different from the winter scenery during the Spring Festival three years ago. The trees in front of him were lush and green, and unknown wild flowers were blooming everywhere, which largely concealed the feeling of desolation.They quickly climbed to the top of the mine, and as far as they could see, there was a dense factory building on the other side of the mountain.No matter from which angle you look at it, there is no view at all.

The two found a big rock and sat down, looking at the distance leisurely.

"J city started mining in ancient times, and has developed a large-scale smelting industry in modern times. Except for the generation where my uncle built villas, there are no scenic spots around. I will take you a little further to the mountain at the junction of the two provinces another day. change."

"If it's a place like Yi An and Xin Chen did last time, you can only go there with time travel equipment, then I have to think about it."

Shang Xiuwen smiled: "Yes, I also brought you here that time. This area is an abandoned mining area, and there are basically no people living there. The area over there is the smelter that Xu Sheng has always wanted to merge."

Gan Lu didn't expect that the smelter under her feet was the smelter that Xusheng and Yixin had been fighting for so far. She looked intently, but saw that there were many chimneys, and there was nothing fancy about it.

"The smelter is an old local state-owned enterprise with huge investment, but it is poorly managed, and it went from prosperity to decline. When the workers think of the fate of the mine, they all have a chilling fear. Xusheng has a long-term outsourcing cooperation with the smelter. A reasonable merger plan is one aspect, and more importantly, it shows the sincerity of sustainable development. Expanding the museum, re-planning the development orientation of this area, and introducing related industries are all part of Xusheng’s plan, so employees have always been inclined to our merger plan."

"Is it because of this that He Jingyi couldn't take down the smelter, so she made such a bad move to bribe the factory leader?"

"That's right." Shang Xiuwen smiled, "Your reasoning ability has always been very strong."

"You've explained it to me in great detail."

"I don't want you to have any more doubts, Lulu." Shang Xiuwen held her hand tightly.

Gan Lu lowered her head, looked at the big hand wrapped around hers, and said softly, "Xiuwen, if I ever had doubts, it's over."

"But what I'm doing is not explaining. I want you to understand every aspect of my life."

Gan Lu was about to speak when Shang Xiuwen's cell phone rang. He took it out to answer, his brows furrowed quickly, and he put down the cell phone and said, "Lulu, uncle is calling. Now the smelter workers don't know what they heard. In the factory, the main leaders were asked to come out and give an explanation. The situation was getting out of control. The city summoned me to go to a meeting immediately.”

"Did the recording leak out?"

"Probably not. Wu Wei isn't so stupid. If he goes out first-rate, he won't have any conditions to negotiate with his uncle. In fact, it's expected that the employees' emotional outbursts will happen. I'll send you back first."

"No, just let me go to the entrance of the supermarket. I'm going to buy some food and make dinner for you."

Shang Xiuwen stopped the car at the entrance of the supermarket and told her: "Don't buy too many things, call a taxi to go back later, and I'll go back as soon as I finish talking."

Gan Lu agreed with a smile, and watched his car drive away before she entered the supermarket.She quickly bought all the ingredients for the main course, and took a taxi back to the villa with two bags full.

She paid the fare, took out the remote control key that Shang Xiuwen left her, opened the iron door, and was about to go in when a red Maserati drove straight from one side at a dangerous speed and stopped in front of her, He Jingyi left down.

Gan Lu looked at her in annoyance: "You show up like this every time, so nothing new."

He Jingyi held the door of the car with her hand, her eyes swept down from her face, and stayed on the bag in her hand: "If you grab a man's stomach, can you really grab a man's heart?"

Gan Lu felt that her demeanor was vaguely different from her usual condescending and arrogant look, so she was secretly vigilant, thinking quickly about her reason for coming, and did not answer.

The iron door closed slowly, but was stuck by He Jingyi's car and could not be reset. There was an ear-piercing sound of alarm, but she ignored it: "Won't you invite me in for a while?"

"I don't think I have anything to talk to you about."

He Jingyi had no intention of moving the car away, just stood idly, surrounded by silence, Gan Lu was annoyed by the noise of the chirping, and had no intention of continuing the confrontation like this, so she had to press the remote control to reopen the iron door.This is the backside of the scenic area in the suburbs of J City. There are few tourists. There are only a few villas separated from each other. The property is managed by the scenic spot management office. There is no strict access control and security system. The hourly workers and gardeners have already finished their work in the morning. gone.It is far from public transportation and no taxis pass by.If you go out on foot, you will have to walk for at least half an hour before you can reach the main road.Without transportation, it is very difficult to leave.Now she watched He Jingyi get into the car and drove in, but she couldn't think of a way to refuse the passengers, so she couldn't help crying and laughing.

When she walked in with a big bag of things, He Jingyi seemed to be sitting leisurely on the rocking chair on the porch, clearly waiting for her to pass.She simply ignored her and went into the kitchen by herself.

The bright sunshine in the afternoon slanted in through the wide windows, and the scent of flowers floated in the air. A small bookshelf stereo was installed in the kitchen, playing brisk music, which was completely different from the eerily quiet atmosphere at night.Such an environment could have been very busy and enjoyable.But the uninvited guest on the porch was somewhat disturbing.

Gan Lu called Shang Xiuwen's mobile phone, and he had already transferred to the secretary desk.She guessed that he was in a meeting, so she couldn't think about it for a while, so she had to calm down, opened the things she bought, and started preparing dinner.

She took out the beef brisket, first patted it loose with the back of a knife, then cut it into even small pieces, put it in the pot and stir-fried until it changed color, added seasoning, tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes, put them in a casserole, and brought it to a boil. Then change to a small fire and simmer.She was cutting the celery into small pieces when He Jingyi's voice sounded behind her: "Sitting there just now, I realized that I haven't been basking in the sun with nothing to do for a long time."

"Doing nothing is probably not the way of life of the elite. The sun is about to set, so hurry up and continue drying." Gan Lu said without turning her head, and the rhythm of chopping vegetables in her hands was not chaotic at all.

"It's so quiet here... like a paradise. Do you know what kind of chaos there is in the smelter?" He Jingyi didn't wait for her to answer, and continued, "Of course you don't need to know, you can be a happy housewife with peace of mind , turn a blind eye to those things."

"The chaos in the smelter was not caused by me, nor can I solve it. If I remember correctly, you have ridiculed my fool's paradise long ago. You don't need to chase me here today to continue. You can go directly to Xiuwen to talk. Isn't it more interesting than staying here and watching me cook?"

"If you stay here and don't leave, how can he contact me?"

Gan Lu shrugged: "Then there's nothing I can do."

He Jingyi sneered: "Mrs. Shang, you are indeed a bit of a genius for irony. And you chose the best time to show up and came here without work, which happened to block my conversation with Xiuwen and let him There is no way to help me directly. But you have to know that we have had a deep relationship, and he will not see me go to jail by Wu Wei. Even if you stay here, you will definitely not see that for one day."

"Sorry, I don't care as much about your whereabouts as you think. I'm not here to pay special attention to whether you are in a Maserati or in jail. You should have seen the scenery of the villa, and the sun has set. I didn't prepare for you. dinner, so it would be better if you leave now."

"Let's make a deal, Mrs. Shang."

Gan Lu put down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands with a towel, turned to look at her, and smiled: "You know I'm a teacher, and the most difficult thing for teachers to encounter is stubborn students. You can teach them how you want, right? It's futile to be eloquent. However, generally speaking, this state will end with the rebellious period. Sooner or later, they will know that what the teacher said is reasonable. As for the person you are talking to, Ms. He, say To be honest, I've never encountered it before."

He Jingyi seemed to be offended, but managed to control herself: "Listen to me. Please leave here as soon as possible, don't interfere with Xiuwen's decision, and let him handle this matter by himself. I will never interfere in your life again."

"I'm afraid you don't have the right to make demands on me," Gan Lu said kindly. "Besides, I don't care about a person who needs other people's promise not to intervene in order to maintain a normal life."

"Are you so sure about Xiuwen? He just went through too many things, was tired, and just wanted a stable family life. You showed up at the right time and got him. But you'd better never count on a man like him Own all of him."

"I've never been as sure about feelings as you are, Ms. He. But I firmly believe that even if I get someone's feelings, it doesn't mean that I have possession, and it doesn't mean that I have the ability to ask for anything and everything from someone. s right."

He Jingyi said calmly: "Don't preach to me, and don't preach to me with occupational diseases. You haven't experienced such a deep relationship, and you can't understand the past between me and Xiuwen. I sympathize with you. Now let's get back to the topic, what do you want? Conditions are you willing to leave here?"

"You seem to be keen on making deals, Ms. He. You wanted to make a deal with Wu Wei yesterday, but you didn't think about it. What is the price you can offer compared to Xu Sheng, who will inherit a large amount of shares sooner or later? Now think about it again." Trade with me, but the terms you offer can’t impress me, I don’t think you have the capital to trade with me. But it’s okay,” Gan Lu smiled, “Don’t worry, I have to go to work the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely go back tomorrow, you You can trade with Xiuwen as much as you like, and see if you can get the result you want."

As twilight fell, the light in the kitchen gradually dimmed. The casserole sitting on the natural gas stove made a slight tumbling sound. The fire light reflected Gan Lu's face, which stood beside her, with uncertain brightness and darkness. He Jingyi could clearly see that her eyes were calm and clear, without any waves.

When she heard that Gan Lu was leaving tomorrow, she should have breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart tightened. She started calling Shang Xiuwen's cell phone last night, and he didn't answer until just now.She could only attribute this to Gan Lu's arrival.She comforted herself that Shang Xiuwen had his wife by his side, so of course it was inconvenient to contact her.

He certainly wouldn't just sit back and ignore her—she tried to convince herself to calm down, but the panic in her heart was getting bigger and bigger. In the state where the mother mourned and cried all day long, begging for nothing.

She thought that as long as Gan Lu left, it would be fine.

However, the woman in front of her refused the deal with a smile on her face, and said lightly that she would definitely leave, she clearly had full confidence in her husband.A chill spread from the bottom of her heart, soaking He Jingyi's whole body—maybe the salvation you were expecting was an illusion at all, she shook her head suddenly, not allowing herself to continue thinking.

She hated Gan Lu's calm eyes and determined demeanor for no reason.She wanted to do the same as when she first met her, say something, do something, break this woman's self-confidence, throw stones into her peaceful heart lake, watch the ripples spread, see her indifference appear cracks, this The process once gave her an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

However, at this moment, she didn't know what to do to achieve this goal.Her whole body was tense, but there seemed to be a certain impulse in her body that was screaming, and she just wanted to vent it fiercely.

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became weird. Gan Lu was taken aback by her staring eyes with almost crazy light. At this moment, her mobile phone on the cooking table rang, and the brisk ringtone filled the air. The quiet room hovering with nameless tension made her heart tighten even more.He Jingyi also seemed taken aback, her eyes moved to her cell phone.

Gan Lu looked at He Jingyi, secretly on guard.Without turning her head, she slowly reached out, reached for the phone and picked it up: "Hello—"

"Lulu, it's me. Did you call me just after the meeting?"

Gan Lu was facing He Jingyi, trying to maintain a normal speaking speed: "Calling? Oh yes, I just wanted to ask when you will be back?"

"I'll go back now. Is the meal ready?" Shang Xiuwen's voice was relaxed.

Gan Lu didn't blink her eyes, almost unable to follow his question: "Have you eaten? Oh, not yet."

"Don't worry, when I go back, I love to see you cooking."

"Xiuwen," she called his name, seeing He Jingyi's pupils constricted suddenly, she lowered her voice a little, "Miss He is here."

"What is she here for?" Shang Xiuwen was startled.

"Maybe I have something to look for you," Gan Lu said as calmly as possible, "She has been waiting for you here for a long time."

He Jingyi stepped over, grabbed the phone, and seemed to want to say something, but only heard Shang Xiuwen's voice from the receiver: "Lulu, don't be nervous, I'll go back right away."

She was furious, and slammed the mobile phone to the ground, only to hear a crisp sound, and the small mobile phone was torn apart on the bluestone board.Gan Lu took a step back in shock, but she forced her forward and said with a hoarse laugh, "Are you scared, Mrs. Shang?"

Gan Lu leaned her back against the conditioning table, there was no way to retreat, she tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart: "Miss He, please calm down..."

He Jingyi sneered: "You need to be calm to make a deal. Didn't you say that I don't even have the capital to trade with you?"

"Xiuwen will be back soon, you can have a good talk with him, as I have already said, I have never interfered with his business affairs, let alone interfere with his decision."

Hearing Shang Xiuwen's name seemed to bring back He Jingyi's rationality to some extent, and Gan Lu's peaceful voice also made her tense body relax a little bit, and she slowly returned to normal. Exhausted of her strength, she reached out to hold onto the cooking table beside her.At this time, her mobile phone rang, and she mechanically took it out to answer it. Gan Lu looked at her nervously, and saw her straighten up, listening intently: "Is Chairman Chen over there too? Why? Didn't you tell me earlier?" After a while, her expression changed, "Okay, I see, I'll go right away."

She walked out of the kitchen without looking back. After a while, Gan Lu heard the sound of the car starting, and she was relieved immediately, and was in no mood to cook other dishes for a while.Turn off the gas stove, sit on the bar chair next to the cooking table, support your head with your hands, only feel your heart beating violently, and a little cold sweat broke out on your palms.

Before she could relax, she heard sharp horns piercing the silence and coming from the door. She was startled, and then woke up. He watched He Jingyi's car drive out on the monitoring screen, and quickly closed the gate.

The mobile phone suddenly cut off the call, and I couldn't get through when I called again.He Jingyi suddenly appeared in the villa, Shang Xiuwen thought that Gan Lu's voice on the phone was completely different from usual, he couldn't keep his composure, and drove back in a hurry.

On the road turning towards the entrance of the scenic spot, he saw a red Maserati lying in the middle of the road from a long distance away. The setting sun was half-sinking into the mountains in the distance. And stand, it is a graceful curve.He could only slow down, parked the car not far from her, and walked down.

"What happened just now?"

"Nothing happened."

"Miss He—"

"Call me Jingyi, Xiuwen, there are only two of us here, please call me Jingyi, the same as when we first met." He Jingyi said softly.

"We just met, Jingyi."

He Jingyi's face was pale, and she lost her mind for a while: "Yes, life is never the same as when we first saw it. We went around and stood here. You are someone else's husband, and I am the one who caused your mother to fail in career, your father died early, and the company went bankrupt. Ex-girlfriend. No matter how hard I try to keep you, it's futile."

"If you can't keep it, just let it go. Don't embarrass yourself or others."

"But fate has been making things difficult for me, who will let fate let me go?" He Jingyi said hoarsely.

"Fate will not use you to interfere with other people's lives, let alone decide the whereabouts of nearly [-] workers in the smelter by means of bribery. Jingyi, don't blame everything on fate."

"Then it means that I have committed my own crimes and cannot live."

Shang Xiuwen said calmly: "Every adult has to be responsible for his actions."

"I have been responsible for myself for a long time, Xiuwen, you can't imagine the life I have experienced. During that period of time, is it only the price paid by your family? My father is dead, and my brother may not be released from prison until next year. My mother will only cry , Cried until my eyes were almost blind. If I don’t want to be driven crazy, I have no choice but to leave. I don’t even have a college degree. "

"I have never made this kind of comparison: who is more miserable, and whose sacrifice is greater."

"But you resent me, just like your mother, your uncle, and Shaokun. The resentment is clearly written on your face. You probably think that if you don't know me, everything might not happen."

"Don't make such assumptions again. Everything happened, and if I have resentment, I hate myself. My childishness, indulgence, and weakness made me an irreparable mistake. I will not put what should have been Pass the responsibility on to others.”

"You made those mistakes because of me, so you still hate me, right? You can hate me, Xiuwen. The only thing I can't accept is your indifference to me."

"I will not be indifferent to my past, but I will not feel any more about a relationship that has ended. So don't be nostalgic for me, it doesn't make any sense."

"But the past is the only thing I really have. Without the past, what is left of my life?"

The sunset gradually faded, and the light became dimmer.However, Shang Xiuwen could clearly see the despair on He Jingyi's face, he felt desolate and powerless, and had nothing to say for a while.

"Listen to me. Yes, I became Chen Hua's lover. He is very generous, but I know that he doesn't love me. Your wife is right about one thing. After falling in love with you, I have never been Others have loved others like that, and I have never loved others that way. I think, at least before he gets tired of it, I have to learn to make a living by myself, and I can't fall into the same miserable situation as before I met him. I finally did it, and I can be very proud Said, no one has followed Chen Hua before and after me, no one has done what I have done."

As twilight deepened, a flock of night herons flew across the sky, hooting and circling overhead.Shang Xiuwen was worried about Gan Lu, so he could only try his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart and keep his voice calm: "President Chen entrusts you with a heavy responsibility, which also means he recognizes your ability."

"But now everything is over, he came here suddenly today, does it have something to do with you?"

"Yes, I talked to him, and he agreed with me, weighed the pros and cons, and made the option with the lowest cost. He just announced that Yixin has officially withdrawn from the merger of the smelter."

He Jingyi stared straight at him, eyes suddenly filled with anger and despair: "I beg you to help me, is this how you help me? I have already promised that as long as you convince Wu Wei, I will submit a report, I think There is a way to withdraw from the merger and give up the acquisition. If you do this, it is a little better than sending me to jail. My career is over."

"Jingyi, I am not an omnipotent god, and I have never been able to make a dramatic reversal. And, given our respective positions now, do you think I might help you out of trouble unprincipled? My wife, the company I am in charge of, Everything is my priority. I regret that you never learned to put yourself in someone else's shoes."

This unprecedented sharp accusation made He Jingyi flinch, and she suddenly said softly: "You are wrong, Xiuwen, others may not be in my consideration, but you have always been the starting point for me to make decisions. After I am independently responsible for the investment, I will apply Come to work in the central part, because this is where we lived. I have a little delusional thinking, knowing that it is impossible to be with you, but I just can't control myself and want to see you again."

"So you started planning to acquire Xusheng. This way of looking back on the past is really novel."

"Xiuwen, after I really met you, I found out that I still love you, but you are married and have decided to stay away from me. I have to use this method to have a poor connection with your life. By accident, fate played tricks on me. I didn’t expect Xusheng to be your property. Originally, I only hated your uncle. If it wasn’t for him, I might be able to keep our children and not break up with you. Jing. I want to get close to you, I want to hit him, but in the end I have to be your enemy."

"You decide your life and work based on this reason, so you don't have to complain that fate is unfair to you. Now you still have a chance to start again. I hope you forget the past and me, and live your life well."

"Is it like you? It's like drinking Mengpo soup, forgetting the past and not worrying about it." She looked up and laughed with despair. "Tell me, what is the trick to do this?"

"Respect your own life, and respect the lives of others. It's that simple to find the person you really want to spend your life with."

He Jingyi grabbed his hand: "Xiuwen, I also wanted to spend my life with you once, no, not once, always."

"I'm sorry," Shang Xiuwen withdrew his hand, "It wasn't my wish, and it wasn't even yours. You just thought you were holding on to something, but everything has changed."

"Do you love your wife?"

There was silence for a while, and they could only hear the noisy and eager birdsong from the sky, which mixed with the night and gave off a bit of shriek.When He Jingyi almost thought that he would not answer this question, he opened his mouth with a calm voice: "Yes, maybe it's not just the kind of love you understand, I love her, I trust her, and I can rest assured that I will completely entrust my life to her. In her hand. Jingyi, please get out of the way, everyone will go their own way without disturbing each other, this is the greatest respect for old feelings."

Shang Xiuwen got into the car, and He Jingyi stood there dumbfounded. After a long time, she also got into the car, started the car, turned the steering wheel and straightened the car, and the two cars slowly passed by.Shang Xiuwen accelerated towards the villa, and the red Maserati disappeared in the rearview mirror.

After driving into the villa, it was completely dark. The low lights in the courtyard were turned on one after another, but the house was pitch black, and Gan Lu was not in the house.Seeing the messed up mobile phone in the kitchen, Shang Xiuwen's heart suddenly rose, and he came out in a hurry, only to see the lights on in the glass greenhouse on the other side.

He hurried over, and saw that the four windows in the greenhouse were open, playing soft music, and Gan Lu was staring blankly on the recliner in the greenhouse.He went over, touched her cold hands, quickly bent over and picked her up, then sat down and let her sit on him.

"I haven't cooked yet." Gan Lu buried her head in his arms and said softly.

"It's all right. What did she tell you?"

Gan Lu shook her head: "I didn't say anything. It's just that she... lost control."

"I'm sorry, I've never been able to keep you from being harassed by her. Some people say that a person's past behavior can be seen from his previous relationships. From this point of view, I have failed very much."

Gan Lu smiled wryly: "Don't criticize me. I haven't experienced too strong emotions, but I would like to keep a little awe. I think she just got too deep."

She recalled He Jingyi's expression on the verge of madness in the kitchen just now, and she shivered unconsciously. She had only experienced extreme psychology and behavior in mystery novels, and never thought that one day she would face it directly, so she couldn't help but feel lingering fear.Sensing the fear she was trying to control, Shang Xiuwen hugged her tightly.

"It's my fault too. I'm probably a little too quick to talk today. I suddenly found that I hate her more than I thought, and I want to stab her and give her back the pain she gave me. The evil in the heart of the heart is actually true. It's easy to be aroused." She finally couldn't continue that smile, and raised her hand to cover her eyes, "If I really trust you unconditionally, she won't irritate me, and I won't say anything that irritates her. .”

"I like your calm, Lulu, but I don't want you to reach that state of no joy or anger."

"I can't reach that step in my practice. I was so scared just now that all the scenes I saw in the mystery novel came before my eyes. Alas, I still have to blame this villa. The atmosphere becomes weird when it gets dark. Only here in the flower house, orchids and rhododendrons The flowers are beautiful and not so scary."

They looked around at the same time. There were precious orchids on one side of the shelf, and all kinds of rhododendrons were in full bloom on the other.Shang Xiuwen hugged her tightly and gently stroked her back until her body slowly relaxed in his arms.

"Lulu, I will try my best to find another suitable house so that you can live with peace of mind in the future."

"Are you going to stay here in City J?"

"The leaders of the city held a coordination meeting at the smelter just now, and Chen Hua, the chairman of Yixin, also rushed over. He stated on the spot that he would formally withdraw from the merger of the smelter. upgraded merger plan.”

Gan Lu gave a low "Oh".

"I'm sorry, Lulu, I promised you that I would not work here and live apart from you. But now, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away in a short time."

"I know." Gan Lu put her arms around his waist, "It's really delusional for a person to want everything to go well."

"The next step is still far from smooth.

You see, the future is still full of uncertainties."

"It's the first time you talked about the difficulties you may face. Before, you either didn't say anything, or you said it lightly. You just told me not to worry." Gan Lu raised her head and smiled slightly.

"You still don't have to worry, Lulu, I can handle it well and give you and our future children the best life." Shang Xiuwen stared at her, "But, I hope to have you by my side. I'm a little selfish, Let me ask you first: can you come and accompany me?"

Gan Lu hesitated a little: "Even if I can leave my job, there are still my father and your mother over there. I can't leave them alone."

Shang Xiuwen leaned back on the recliner, hugged her tightly, and let her lie on him: "There will always be a way, Lulu, as long as you are willing to be with me."

Gan Lu curled up in his arms and nodded silently.
