Bamboo horse is not a gentleman

Chapter 41

Chang Shan's complexion suddenly became more gloomy than Lu Bai's, and suddenly he smiled mockingly:
"Are you threatening me? Or are you pretending to be a tiger?"

"No, it's just stating the facts." Lu Bai replied calmly, "No one in this world knows what kind of woman Ruan Xinmei is better than me. We are all on her chessboard, and you and I are For her black and white pieces, you are in charge of fighting, and I am in charge of defending, while she is watching from the sidelines, watching our endless fighting, waiting for you to make the last move, and then she will wait for the opportunity to kill you out! This It's her inherent method, and it's also her pleasure."

Chang Shan listened quietly, neither refuted nor defended, his expression was unpredictable.

"Chang Shan, you are just a master at playing with words, but what Ruan Xinmei is best at playing with is other people's fate!"

Chang Shan stood in the living room thoughtfully, and after a while he said:
"I still have to finish my interview, because Li Yan won't let you go, even if I give up, he will still disclose this matter to other media, so it's better to leave it in my hands."

Lu Bai sized him up for a while, then said calmly:
"Can I trust you?"

Chang Shan smiled wryly:

"Of course, I also have people who need to protect."

The two reached a consensus in a very short time, Lu Bai brought reporter Chang into the study, Yuan Qing prepared refreshments for the two of them, and then withdrew from the study.

Writers Lu Da always have the ability to turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing.

By the way, the current Lu Bai is not only a great writer whom she looks up to, he also confessed to her a few days ago, and now he is her Lu Bai. Thinking of this, Yuan Qing smirked, Wang Po sold melons and boasted:
Hehehe, Lu Bai's boyfriend is really strong!
The sunshine of April falls lightly into the living room through the balcony, and the breeze blowing from the window gently strokes the face like a feather.

There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

Yuan Qing served a plate of dim sum, poured herself a cup of tea, lazily returned to the living room, flung herself on the sofa, and threw a piece of almond cake into her mouth. She still had a lot of things to do this afternoon. , Contacting the editor, receiving the signing contract of the publishing house and managing all of Lu Bai's fan groups, it takes a minute to break it in half, but her mood has never been so relaxed and comfortable as it is now.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table vibrated. She looked at the caller ID and her heart skipped a beat: it was her mother's call.

Yuan Qing hurriedly picked up the phone, before hearing anyone's words, she heard crying first:
"Qing, Mom can't go on!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"During these days, your stepfather couldn't find a job. Either he drank heavily every day, or he went to the chess and card room to play cards. He lost a lot of money, and almost lost all the savings in the family. It's even better now, and hooked up with the boss of the chess and card room. , not staying at home every day! Two days ago, your brother fought with a classmate and smashed his head with a brick. Now his parents say they want to sue us and let the court sentence us! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and... Already!"

Maybe people are selfish.No matter how kind a person is, they cannot escape their nature.

When Yuan Qing heard about the recent situation of her stepfather and younger brother, she felt an unspeakable joy subconsciously, but this joy was quickly extinguished by her conscience. She understood that in Wang Yuqian's heart, her husband and son are the only ones in life. The sustenance of self is nothing but responsibility and guilt to oneself.

"Mom..." Yuan Qing pondered for a moment, then said cautiously, "Do you want to come to Lucheng to live with us for a while?"

"You child, your younger brother is like this, how can I get away! Not to mention your stepfather... He doesn't care about the family. If things go on like this, sooner or later both father and son will end up on the streets!"

"So, mom, what are you going to do?"

"Well, Qing'er, that classmate's parents said, if you don't want to go to court, it's okay, we have to take out 3 yuan to compensate him for medical expenses and mental damage...Qing'er, mom knows you don't have that much money , but isn’t Lu Bai a famous writer? Can I ask him to borrow it?”

At that moment, even though she was facing her own mother, Yuan Qing was still so angry that she wanted to put down her phone. Lu Bai, who had left that cold and ruthless wealthy family all these years ago and was struggling in the literary world all these years, flashed in front of her eyes. He spends almost every day coding and drafting, his house, fame and fans, what is not his hard work? !He has done enough for her, how can she borrow so much money from him? !

"Mom, Lu Bai just finished paying off the mortgage, and I don't have much money on hand, and I still live in his house, so I owe him a lot, how can I ask him to borrow money again?!"

"Mom, isn't there nothing you can do? Do you want to watch your brother go to jail? I know you resent them, but when your father passed away, our mother and I didn't survive because of your stepfather?! Xiaofeng No matter how ignorant you are, he is your brother after all! The daughter in my memory is not such a heartless child!"

Wang Yuqian shouted hoarsely, Yuan Qing was speechless because of this speech, she put down her phone, and the feeling of finally relaxing was suddenly worth a thousand dollars.

Chang Shan came out of the study with a calm expression on his face, he changed his unpredictability when he came, and bid farewell to her very politely.After hesitating for a long time, Yuan Qing entered the study slowly:
"Did I bother you?"

Lu Bai shook his head, he was not rushing to draft, but was contemplating something.

"Then...is everything settled?"

Lu Bai let out a deep sigh from the depths of his chest, and there was a hint of a wry smile on his lips:

"Everything about her is always difficult to solve. We have always hated each other over the years, but we understand each other better than anyone else."

"What should I do if Li Yan does everything possible to expose the incident on the yacht?"

Lu Bai lowered his eyes, and tapped lightly on the keyboard with his slender fingers:

"It's impossible for Ruan Xinmei to let this happen, let us wait and see."

"What will she do?"

"Li Yan still doesn't know that Hong Lili betrayed him. As long as Hong Lili sheds a tear or two in front of him, he will give in."

"It turns out that Li Yan can also love someone."

"Hong Lili is just a pretty little star. What she can hold against Li Yan is not her beauty, but her appearance that resembles Li Yan's dead mother."

Yuan Qing's heart shook slightly, she raised her eyebrows, and found that the man was looking at her with a pair of sad and cold eyes:

"You are pitying him."

"I just……"

Lu Bai sighed:

"From an objective point of view, Li Yan is a poor person. His father died absurdly, and his mother died bleakly. Ruan Xinmei should be the culprit, but I just stood by and watched, and even contributed to the flames when needed..."

"Lu Bai..."

"Yuan Qing, I'm not a person worthy of your trust, nor a good person. Obviously all of this is wrong, but I still wear a mask that I am the victim and live on brazenly, letting you stand in my way." In front of you, worry about everything for me, it's too late for you to regret it now."

"I will not regret it." Yuan Qing said flatly but firmly, "Even if everything was wrong from the beginning, it is definitely not your fault. Everything you have encountered and all the pain you have suffered are beyond the tolerance of ordinary people Every time I think of this, it hurts my heart, and I always want to do something for you."

Lu Bai smiled. He held Yuan Qing's hand, pulled her to his side, and kissed those pink and tender lips:
"Although these years, I have always denied that my feelings for you are love, but how lucky I am to have you!"

The fiery kiss made Yuan Qing's face blush, and her heart was rippling like boiling water. She didn't know what expressions and words to use to respond to the moment of the first kiss, so she could only quietly break free from his embrace, like The rabbit with its tail on fire escaped from the study.

My heart was pounding like it was going to jump out of my chest.

Yuan Qing covered his face and tried his best to calm himself down, but the aftertaste of the kiss was hot and lingering like a fire.

Yes, love, sweet love. At the same time, Wang Yuqian's begging rang in her ears, like a curse, making her unable to control this bittersweet life.

She already owed too much to Lu Bai, he provided her with food and lodging, her salary, and also gave her endless warmth and nourishment of love, how should she speak, how should she speak? !

These years, Yuan Qingtai wants to be the pillar beside Lu Bai, instead of being tightly entwined like a dodder flower, greedily sucking up his nutrition for himself!

Looking at her mother's cell phone number and the door of the study, Yuan Qing did not call back after all.

In the middle of the night, Yuan Qing was awakened by the vibrating sound of her mobile phone, turned on the desk lamp, picked up her mobile phone, and it was still Wang Yuqian's call.

The urgent call in the middle of the night was hasty and abrupt, making people flustered, as if nothing good would happen in the next second.

With an ominous premonition, Yuan Qing pressed the call button, and Wang Yuqian's wailing and a man's roar came from the phone:

"It's so noisy! Ever since I married you, a mourner, I have been unlucky until now, and nothing good has happened to me!"

Then there was a voice that pierced her heart:
"Qing, Qing'er, save me, save mom!"

Then, the phone call was promptly cut off.

Yuan Qing called back again, but the phone was already in a state of being unable to make calls.

His mind went blank, and the blood seemed to flow backwards in his veins.

If there are thousands of possibilities, how much she hopes that everything in her childhood will come back again, and she can still see the figure of a loving father in the world, and have a complete and happy home with both parents. However, people live their lives, and the past day is just a day , it is impossible to cut corners, and it is even more impossible to rewind like a movie lens.

Just like that, in this deathly silent night, Yuan Qing fell into unprecedented panic and fear.
