When An Ning met Lu Xiyan again after four years, she was wearing the cheapest clothes from a wholesale market, had just been slapped, and was squatting at his feet picking up hospital payment slip...
Chapter 50 You Still Love Her
Before she knew it, An Ning was already in tears.
Little Anxian immediately stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, her big eyes also reddened, "Mommy, don't cry. Mommy won't let Xianxian play with the handsome uncle, so Xianxian won't find him... Mommy, don't cry..."
An Ning wiped her tears hastily and said, "Mom is not crying, my eyes just feel uncomfortable."
She felt very sad when she saw the child's aggrieved look. She hugged him tightly in her arms and felt that she owed him a lot.
He has been without a father since he was a child, and now he just wants to be close to his biological father.
He had done nothing wrong, but she wanted to deprive him of the right to get close to Lu Xiyan.
An Ning choked up, she couldn't afford the gamble.
She was terribly scared.
She was afraid of Lu Xiyan, afraid that the Lu family would take Xianxian away from her.
She would rather selfishly keep Xianxian away from him.
"I'm sorry babe..."
......
Japanese food store.
The man, who already had little appetite, now had even less appetite.
Cheng Wanwan raised her eyes and glanced at the man. Ever since she met An Ning, there was no warmth left on his delicate face, only coldness.
Even the superficial tenderness is gone.
An Ning's appearance can determine Lu Xiyan's mood.
Cheng Wanwan was angry and jealous. She obviously hated An Ning, but because Lu Xiyan once said "I like kind girls", she had to face An Ning's disgusting face and pretend to be familiar with her.
"Xiyan." Cheng Wanwan smiled and said casually, "I didn't expect An Ning to have a child. And this child looks just like his father."
"How do you know he looks like his father?" Lu Xiyan raised his eyes and said in a clear and calm voice, "Have you seen him?"
"Of course I haven't seen him." Cheng Wanwan laughed. "This child looks like An Ning except for his mouth. He doesn't look like An Ning in any other way. So he must look like his father."
"Besides," Cheng Wanwan looked at Lu Xiyan, "I think this child is only three years old. An Ning got married and had children as soon as she went abroad. It shows that she loves her husband very much."
Hearing the last sentence, Lu Xiyan's eyes seemed to burst out with ice cones, and there was also a hint of mockery.
"Yeah?"
"Of course." Cheng Wanwan pretended not to understand the emotion in his eyes, put down her chopsticks and explained gently, "Pregnancy and childbirth are so hard. If a woman is willing to endure this hardship for a man, she must love this man very much."
"An Ning must love her husband very much."
With every word she spoke, Lu Xiyan's cold eyes became darker.
Love it very much?
So you are willing to remain a virgin for that man?
Do you love him so much that you would rather kneel down than have anything to do with him?
A slight smile appeared on the man's stern face. How much does she love him?
......
The next morning.
Office of the President of Oteng Group.
"Xiyan, I heard that Zhenghong Group has made new progress in medical treatment and is about to apply for a patent."
Liang Xu clicked on the information on the computer and looked at the man at the head of the conference table. "Are we progressing a little too slowly? At this rate, if your uncle and cousin take over the domestic medical sector first, then you'll lose this bet."
The man glanced at the computer and said calmly, "Their patent is not enough to lead the country, let alone the world."
"That's also their progress," Liang Xu said, pushing up his rimless glasses. "Look at us, we haven't had any major breakthroughs or innovations this year."
"Why didn't your grandfather just appoint a successor? Why did he make you and your cousin enter into a gambling agreement? Zhenghong and Ou Teng are both from your Lu family, so why did he have to make you compete?"
Liang Xu also couldn't figure out what Mr. Lu was up to.
Lu Xiyan officially took over the Outeng Group when he was less than 27 years old. In less than half a year, he completed the milestones of expanding the business sector and monopolizing the same industry, leading Outeng to new heights.
The Oteng Group originally encompassed the two most authoritative sectors of finance and real estate, and was a leading enterprise far ahead in the country.
Especially in the two years that Lu Xiyan took over, he focused on finance and led Ou Teng into the European financial world.
He not only has a sharp mind but also possesses a precise understanding of market and industry algorithms. In just two years, he became the Wolf of Wall Street, was recognized by major financial magazines as the best young CEO, and was also the most talked-about and popular entrepreneur of the year.
He is obviously an unshakable genius entrepreneur in the financial world, but Mr. Lu asked Lu Xiyan to take Ou Teng to switch to the medical field, and signed a bet agreement with Lu Jin, the chairman of Zhenghong Group - within two years, whoever can take over the medical sector and own the world-leading medical patents can take 10% of the shares held by the old man and become the highest authority in the Lu Group.
"Your uncle is quite interesting." Liang Xu complained, "On the surface, he says you're his nephew and Uncle Lu's only son, and he doesn't want to compete with you, but he's been working hard behind the scenes."
Lu Xiyan sneered. There were so many people in the Lu family, and each of them had a hundred minds.
He didn't understand it before, but in recent years he has seen it clearly.
"There's one more thing I need to ask you, President Lu." Liang Xu closed his computer and put away his distracted expression. "I heard you're planning to collaborate with Hao Wei, and have designated An Ning as the project's designated partner?"
Hearing that name, Lu Xiyan's fingertips trembled slightly, and his eyes were clear, "Yes."
"Are you crazy, Lu Xiyan?" Liang Xu looked at him as if he were crazy. "How do you feel about letting her work under your nose?"
Lu Xiyan took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it. "I'm crazy. I just don't want her to have an easy life."
Want to disappear from his life? Want to pretend you've never met him?
Want to deny the betrayal and erase the hurt he'd suffered?
impossible!
He just wanted to see her struggling to survive within his sight.
Liang Xu laughed in anger when he heard this. "You're not letting her have an easy life? I think you're not letting you have an easy life, are you?"
He put his hands on his hips and said unhappily, "If you ask me, you've had too few relationships. You got hurt in the one you did have, so you kept harping on it the moment she came back. If you ask me, if you had more relationships, you'd get used to being let down, and you'd just treat it like a passing cloud."
"Like you?" Lu Xiyan looked up at him with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Liang Xu obviously didn't want him to bring the topic back to himself, so he said seriously, "Xi Yan, this person, there is no love and no hate."
He asked, "You still love her even though you clearly can't let her go?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiyan shook the cigarette ash between his fingers and dropped it onto the black lacquered table.
After a long while, he finally spoke quietly, "Love is a long and arduous journey, it all depends on conscience, she is at peace but has no heart."
He stubbed out his cigarette in the crystal ashtray, stood up, straightened his expensive suit, and turned around. "Those things can never be forgotten, let alone forgiven."
