Chapter 85 Tranquil Happiness

When he arrived at the gate of the community, he asked the security guard. Sure enough, several groups of people came to look for them yesterday. He shrugged his shoulders, and then turned on the cell phone that had been off for a day. Suddenly, a text message rang.

Too lazy to look any further, he called Mother Lu directly to set up a "negotiation" location. Mother Lu wanted to say a few more words about him, but he had already hung up the phone.

At this time, Sheng Xuan's phone also came in, he picked it up, and Xiao Nizi screamed over there: "Fourth brother, you were so handsome yesterday."

Lu Zhengnan "cut": "Don't forget how you scolded me a while ago."

"That's what you should scold." Sheng Xuan snorted coldly: "It's a good thing you know your way back, otherwise I will never forgive you for the rest of my life. Hey, by the way, what happened to that doll yesterday, the illegitimate daughter of you and the fourth sister-in-law what?"

"I'll tell you later when we meet." Lu Zhengnan didn't want to talk too much on the phone, and was about to hang up, when she said, "You are going to see Luo Xin, we will accompany you to give you courage. "

"Go, I need you to give me some courage." Lu Zhengnan disdainful, but he couldn't stand her, so he told her the location, and then he also hired a car and set off.

When they arrived at the place, as soon as they entered the door, they saw the Luo family sitting opposite the long table with frosty faces, as if they were interrogating.

Mother Lu was still trying to smooth things over: "Yesterday..."

But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lu Zhengnan waving his hand. He took Sheng Xuan and Xiang Min to sit on the side of the long table, forming a confrontational pattern.

"Lu Zhengnan, what do you mean? In front of so many people, you left me at the wedding." The Luo family probably divided the work first, and Luo Xin was the first to fight, crying with snot and tears .

"I was wrong about what happened yesterday." Lu Zhengnan nodded: "I'll apologize to you, but fortunately we haven't gone through the formalities, so from a legal point of view, we are not really married. Let’s just say there was a mistake, this time it’s an engagement banquet, something happened later, and the engagement was cancelled.”

"You're making fun of our daughter!" Luo's mother jumped at the case, "You sent out all the invitations with great fanfare, and then changed your name and said you were engaged, who would believe it? Our family Luo Xin, she just got married and became an abandoned wife." Now, who will want it in the future, if you can finish the job, you can finish the job?"

The way she spoke was too aggressive and arrogant, and Sheng Xuan, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help it, and also slapped the table and stood up: "What's the matter? It seems like you have suffered a lot at the moment, it's not that you are sticking to it and want to end it." Is this a marriage? At the beginning, Luo Xin of your family fell in love with my fourth brother? Wasn’t it just because of money? Now you are not emotionally hurt, are you afraid that you will sell your daughter next time? Has time depreciated?"

"What are you talking about!" Luo Mu angrily pointed at Sheng Xuan's nose and scolded, seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Lu Zhengnan knocked on the table, winked for Sheng Xuan to sit down, and then looked at Luo Xin: "I also said just now that I am really sorry for you. Now that the matter has come to this point, it is too late to say anything. You can see how I can make up for it. As long as I can do it, I will be absolutely unambiguous."

Speaking of this, the Luo family also knew that there was no possibility of reversing the marriage, and the only thing to discuss now was the compensation conditions.

But after all, the Lu family is powerful, so even if he asked for it, he didn't dare to go too far. After the final discussion, Luo Xin wrote a number on the paper and pushed it to Lu Zhengnan. What you bought is yours."

He is generous, and the other party should not be too stingy. After all, China is only such a big land. In the future, if you look up and look down, you have to leave some room.

The incident subsided just like that. Although the Luo family members were still angry, they still left smoothly.

Did Mother Lu come back after going out to pay, and complained when she saw Lu Zhengnan: "Tell me about you..."

"Don't talk about Mom, you can go back to Beijing too. I've been busy recently, so I don't have extra time to accompany you." Lu Zhengnan was not polite.

Mother Lu gritted her teeth again and again, but in the end she didn't dare to reprimand again, and walked away.

Only Sheng Xuan and the others were left in the room. She leaned over and brought up the previous incident again: "Hey, does that little girl belong to you and the fourth sister-in-law?"

Lu Zhengnan replied slowly: "It belongs to your third brother."

Sheng Xuan opened her mouth wide in an instant, looked at him stupidly, and after a while, jumped up: "No... isn't it?"

"It really belongs to your third brother." Lu Zhengnan emphasized again, with a calm expression: "But it doesn't matter, she is no different from my own daughter."

Sheng Xuan couldn't digest the amount of information here, Lu Zhengnan immediately threw the burden to Xiang Min next to him: "Ask Xiang Min, he knows everything."

"What?" Sheng Xuan frowned ferociously, and rushed over to pinch Xiang Min's neck: "You are hiding such a big matter from me!"

"No... I don't know much...cough cough..." Xiang Min was caught coughing by Sheng Xuan, and looked at Lu Zhengnan wrongly, but his fourth fox brother had already slipped away.

Fourth brother, fourth brother, you are too disrespectful.Xiang Min wailed in his heart...

And Lu Zhengnan left the hotel, heaving a long sigh.In fact, in this matter, the most difficult person to confess is not the Luo family, but Qi Zhen.

Before, he really planned to give up and return Ye Chuxiao and Mi Lier to Qi Zhen.

But reason and emotion may really be completely two ways. At that moment yesterday, he lost all his reason, and his only thought was to protect them and be with them.

Up to now, everything seems to have gone around in a circle and returned to the original point. He doesn't know how to face Qi Zhen.

Slowly pressing the number, he finally made a call to Qi Zhen.

However, what sounded on the other end was the notification sound of shutting down.

He sighed deeply, put down his phone, got in the car and left.

At this time in Beijing, Qi Zhen had just woken up. The noon sun in winter was gloomy and cold, and his eyes were also gloomy and cold, without any vitality.

The scene last night was like a chaotic dream, until now, he was unwilling to believe it was true.

Shiman sent him a text message, saying that there was something important about Ye Chuxiao and Mi Lier, and they had to have an interview.

He finally went to the appointment, and as soon as they met, Shi Man pointed at him and laughed: "Qi Zhen, you are so ridiculous, your child is called Lu Zhengnan's father, and your woman eloped with Lu Zhengnan..."

"What did you say?" he asked in disbelief.

"You don't know yet?" Shiman's eyes were full of vicious sarcasm: "Brother Zhengnan's wedding is very lively today, even worse than our previous one! Tsk tsk, little one The girl ran onto the stage and rushed towards the groom while calling for her father. Later, the child’s mother also appeared on the stage. The family of three looked at each other with tears in their eyes. It was touching. Guess what happened...Let’s go, the groom elopes with the mother and daughter Lah, ahahahahahahaha."

Shi Man's words were like the sharpest blade, piercing into Qi Zhen's heart. He could hardly stand still, he took half a step back and leaned against the wall, only feeling cold, his whole body shivering with cold.

All... all hopes were shattered again, like soap bubbles, which were nothing but brilliant for a short while, and then turned into a drop of dirty water.

All taken away, Lu Zhengnan took away the last bit of hope and dream in his life.

"How about it, Qi Zhen? Why don't we make do with it?" Shiman approached him like a ghost: "What do you do with divorce? Do you want to leave others or not?"

"Get out!" He pushed her away abruptly, and walked out of the door in a futile manner. He couldn't remember how he got here in the end, but he only remembered that he was wandering around the city aimlessly, and walked around again and again. Circle, like a lonely ghost who can't find a home...

Until now, he still doesn't seem to feel that he is alive. What is the difference between living like him and being dead?He smiled.

He thought of the moment when he opened the bathroom door many years ago and saw his mother hanging himself on the beam with a towel. His mood at that moment was the same as now.

th.

No matter how much he was cared for and how he was retained, he was still lost in the end, and no one would care about him, leaving him alone, how to live on.

They are all cruel, all too cruel!
A hoarse sneer sounded in the room for a long time...

When Lu Zhengnan came home that day, Mi Lier was taking a nap, Ye Chuxiao came over and opened the door for him, and asked in the first sentence: "Are you okay when you go out?"

She is always like this, really thinking about you, Lu Zhengnan felt warm in his heart, he hugged her into the room: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

The two of them sat down on the sofa, he held her in his arms, rested his chin on top of her head, and sighed softly, "I'm so happy."

She rubbed against his chest and gave a low "um".

"I've basically taken care of the outside affairs, don't worry." He told her, but thinking of Qi Zhen, he sighed a little gloomily.

She raised her head sensitively: "What's wrong?"

"No..." He wanted to hide it, but she looked straight at him with bright eyes: "Don't hide anything from me, haven't we suffered enough before?"

He sighed, finally made up his mind, and said, "I'm actually worried about third brother."

"What's wrong with Qi Zhen?" Ye Chuxiao narrowed his eyes.

"Actually, our Lu family...is very sorry for him." With deep guilt in his eyes, he whispered the secret: "Back then, his father was suddenly double-regulated, and then during the interrogation, he suddenly jumped from the window sill of the bathroom on the seventh floor. He fell down, fell to his death, and finally classified it as an accident, but no one can tell whether it was suicide or homicide. After more than half a year, his mother suffered from severe depression and hanged herself at home gone."

Ye Chuxiao was stunned when she heard that, Qi Zhen had never told her these past events, she never knew that he had such a tragic past.

"Until..." Lu Zhengnan gritted his teeth, and could barely speak: "It was not until recently that I was sure that the accident in his family was related to my father. And the reason why he married Shiman in the first place was precisely for Retaliation, I didn't tell you before, Shiman is actually...my half-sister."

Ye Chuxiao was even more shocked.

It turns out... It turns out that when Qi Zhen married Shi Man, there was such a secret behind it, so...

Looking at her complicated expression, Lu Zhengnan felt mixed emotions in his heart, but he still chose to tell her all the truth frankly: "At that time, he should have loved you, but the hatred on his body forced him to abandon you and go The road to revenge."

Ye Chuxiao couldn't tell what it was like at the moment, she just sat there in a daze, her mind was confused.

I have hated Qi Zhen for so many years, but at this moment, I can no longer hate him.

He was indeed cruel to her, but anyone who was him might have the same choice as him.

Families are ruined, people are killed, and there is blood and deep hatred. As long as there is a chance, how can it be possible not to avenge it?
In fact, he is just a miserable poor man.

She recalled that day when he was in the car and said that he didn't want anything anymore, he just wanted to be with her and Mi Li'er.

Only now did I know how difficult it was for him to give up everything, and how much he longed for a home.

Heartbroken, she wiped the corners of her eyes lightly and sighed heavily.

He looked at her for a while, then murmured: "Chu Xiao, if you regret it..."

Her index finger touched his lips, she shook her head: "It's two different things."

She sympathizes with Qi Zhen very much, but she also understands that the one she loves now is Lu Zhengnan.

Some fate, if you miss it, you can't look back. No matter what the reason is, the ending can't be changed.

Even if it is a pity, it is impossible to turn back time to that point.

"How is he now?" she asked softly.

Lu Zhengnan smiled wryly: "I don't know, I originally planned to quit, but yesterday I..."

"You broke up with me in the first place to make up for him?" Ye Chuxiao stared at him, and he nodded silently.

She raised her hand and stroked his forehead sadly: "You are stupid, we are all stupid."

He hugged her: "Yes."

In the previous entanglement, there was no winner at all.

************************************
The days that followed were quiet, and the Chinese New Year was almost here, and even the residents of Yunshui Pavilion, who had always kept a low profile, posted Spring Festival couplets on their doorsteps.

It was the first time for Mi Lier to celebrate the Spring Festival with both mother and father. She was very excited and ran around the house happily every day, acting like a baby with this one and fooling around with that one.

Her happiness also infected the two adults. They temporarily put aside all complicated emotions. The family of three went to the street to buy new year's goods, and went home to hang lanterns. They were extremely busy.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Lu's mother called and asked Lu Zhengnan when he would return to Beijing, but he just said lightly, "I won't be returning this year".

Mother Lu hung up the phone, angrily went to complain to the old man, and then brought up the farce of the previous marriage again.

The old man turned over, lay face down, and waved his hands: "I said it earlier, let him do it."

She didn't understand why he was so tolerant towards Lu Zhengnan this time, she just felt that she was in this family, and she was a little bit pissed off, and left angrily.

The old man was still lying motionless, his eyes showing a bit of desolation...

On New Year's Eve, Lu Zhengnan brought rice grains and set off fireworks in the yard.

Gorgeous fireworks bloomed layer by layer in the night sky. Ye Chuxiao leaned quietly by the door, feeling peaceful and happy in her heart.

Mi Li'er turned around and saw her, ran over and pulled her to set them off together, but when she didn't move, Lu Zhengnan teased: "Oh, my mother is a lady, she doesn't know how to set off firecrackers."

Mi Lier has also followed his example, nodding seriously, her tone is exactly the same as his: "Oh, my mother is a lady."

"Go," Ye Chuxiao rolled his eyes and rolled up his sleeves: "I have been the king of children since I was a child, and a master at setting off fireworks. Get out of the way and watch my skills."

Lu Zhengnan laughed loudly, and pulled Mi Lier to make room for her.

She arranged the fiery trees and silver flowers in a circle, then took a long fire stick, slid around, and lit them one by one. Immediately, the fireworks bloomed one after another, and the courtyard was like a sea of ​​stars.

He hugged her from behind and kissed her ear: "You really are a master, so beautiful."

"That's it." Her hand covered the back of his, and shook gently following his body.

Such a beautiful day, really good.

I just hope that this life will be like this, plain and long.

"I want to hug, I want to hug." Mi Lier was dissatisfied with their neglect, and grabbed their clothes to make a fuss.

Ye Chuxiao smiled and hugged her, and then nestled into Lu Zhengnan's arms together, spending this warm time together...

This kind of life lasted until the eighth day of the eighth day, and it was time to send Mi Lier back to school. Ye Chuxiao was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.

Lu Zhengnan disagreed: "Our place is not too far from her school, so don't go boarding, at least you can see your parents every day at home, the child is not pitiful."

"But..." Ye Chuxiao was worried. Their jobs were busy, so they might not be able to pick them up on time every day.

"I've made all the arrangements." Lu Zhengnan patted her on the head: "I asked someone to find a teacher who had just retired from Mi Li'er's school for half a year. He happened to live in a nearby community, and he could drive. No problem at all."

Everything was arranged properly by him, Ye Chuxiao felt relieved, beckoned Mi Lier to come over, told her the good news, she hugged them happily and kissed.

The teacher came in the afternoon. She was a kind old lady who just passed fifty. She asked Mi Lier to call her Grandma Xiang, and then the two of them played pronunciation games together. Professional tutoring is different after all. Mi Lier learns very quickly, Ye Chuxiao I am very pleased.

After the child's affairs were arranged, Monica brought another surprise to Ye Chuxiao.

She has returned to the ancient city, and will build a new studio here.

When they met, Ye Chuxiao still couldn't believe it: "Really, teacher, do you really plan to work here in the future?"

"Yeah." Monica teased with a smile: "It's hard to accept an apprentice, and he is reluctant to part with her husband. As a teacher, I have to accommodate."

"Teacher—" Ye Chuxiao hugged her shoulders coquettishly.

"Oh, women in love are really different. Look at you, you are disgusting now." Monica teased her: "But I also have a nomadic personality, and I get tired of staying in one place for too long. I stay in Guangzhou. It’s been ten years, it’s good to change the place, maybe the inspiration will be fresher, not to mention there are you here, I’m not lonely.”

"Teacher, we will all be your family from now on." Ye Chuxiao sighed softly, then smiled again: "However, I also hope that you can find a suitable person and love again."

"Go ahead, I'm already quite old." Monica waved her hand, but Ye Chuxiao stuck out her tongue: "You're so charming, I think that Mr. Fang treats you..."

"Hey, stop, stop." Monica patted her, but there was a slight strangeness in his eyes.

Ye Chuxiao comprehended, clicked to the end, just pursed her lips and snickered...

Both Monica and Ye Chuxiao belonged to the action group. Since they wanted to build a studio, they started to start immediately.Site selection, layout, publicity, very busy.

Lu Zhengnan watched Ye Chuxiao go out early and return late every day, and his heart ached so much, he ran to deliver meals and supplements at noon and evening, Monica could only laugh at him, and secretly praised Ye Chuxiao for his good eyesight.

On the night before the opening ceremony, when Ye Chuxiao came home, Mi Lier had already fallen asleep, and Lu Zhengnan was sitting alone in the living room waiting for her.

As soon as the door rang, he immediately went to greet him: "My wife is back? The little one has been waiting for a long time."

"You are the only one who is poor." She curled her lips and pecked his lips.

He hung up the bag for her, then carried her back from the door and sat on the sofa: "Are you busy? You will open tomorrow, and I will bring a group of people to support you, and how about helping you expand your business?"

"No!" Ye Chuxiao raised his chin: "This time, I don't want to rely on you, I have to rely entirely on myself."

"Oh, what a strong woman, how can I control it from now on, no, no, I want to control it now..." Lu Zhengnan screamed strangely and pushed her down on the cushion, and jumped on her and began to pull her clothes buttons...
