As the illegitimate daughter of the Ye Group, Ye Anyu was told from a young a...
Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Today is a good day
Even though his relationship with him is not good now, he doesn't want that person to be him.
Ye Anyu noticed the change in his expression and asked, "Brother, do you remember who it is?" After saying this, Ye Anyu froze in place. She seemed to know who it was.
Who else could it be except Lu Junyi and his wife’s son, Lu Mingzhou’s elder brother, Lu Xingzhi.
Ye Anyu could see that although Lu Mingzhou said that he didn't like his elder brother and refused to meet him, deep down in his heart, he had deep feelings for Lu Xingzhi.
When Lu Mingzhou was very young, he was not welcomed in the Lu family. Carrying the stigma of being an illegitimate child, he was always bullied at school. However, Lu Xingzhi, who was one year older than him at that time, was different from others. At home, he always bought some of Lu Mingzhou's favorite food for him. At school, when outsiders bullied him, he always stood in front of him to protect him.
Ye Anyu didn't know how Lu Mingzhou felt when he looked at Lu Xingzhi after he learned the truth. After all, it was Li Huijun and Lu Xingzhi who took away everything that belonged to him.
Ye Anyu didn't ask any more questions. If the truth was truly like this, she needed to give Lu Mingzhou some time to process the matter. Just as she was about to change the subject, Lu Mingzhou suddenly spoke up, "You know who it is, right?"
Ye Anyu did not deny it and nodded.
Ye Anyu hurriedly said, "Brother, do you want to drink some water? I'll go get you a glass of water." Just as she was about to turn around, Lu Mingzhou grabbed her arm.
He said, "An Yu, you don't have to do this."
Ye Anyu stopped and looked up at Lu Mingzhou. Although he said this, his eyes were full of helplessness. He said, "If it really is him, I will not be soft-hearted." Not only for himself, but also for his deceased mother.
Ye Anyu held his hand and said, "Well, brother, I said, no matter what you do, I will support you."
Ye Anyu knew that although he said that, he was indeed very hesitant when it came to action. That night, they went to bed very early and they didn't do anything else but just hugged each other tightly.
In the middle of the night, Ye Anyu woke up from her sleep, but there was no one around her. She looked around and saw a figure standing on the balcony in the bright moonlight. There seemed to be a fire in the darkness. She looked carefully and found that it was Lu Mingzhou who was smoking.
In Ye Anyu's impression, Lu Mingzhou was a person who didn't like smoking or drinking, and he had never smoked in front of her. Once, she happened to see him and realized that Lu Mingzhou actually smoked.
He only smokes when he is bored. Ye Anyu knows that deep down he doesn't want to hurt Lu Xingzhi, at least, he doesn't want to be in direct hostility with Lu Xingzhi.
Ye Anyu got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and walked gently to the balcony door. Just as she was about to push it open, Lu Mingzhou suddenly turned sideways.
Ye Anyu opened the door and heard Lu Mingzhou say, "Sorry, I woke you up."
Ye Anyu shook her head and said, "It wasn't my brother who woke me up, I woke up by myself." She didn't want to tell him that she had a nightmare.
Lu Mingzhou held the cigarette between two fingers and pressed it down with his backhand, ready to put out the cigarette in his hand. Ye Anyu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, it's okay with me." Ye Anyu said that she didn't like the smell of cigarettes.
Lu Mingzhou still extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said, "Go back to sleep." Under the moonlight, he curled his lips and continued, "If you don't want to sleep, we can do something else."
Hearing this joke, Ye Anyu did not stop her or say anything, but let him carry her back to the bed. Once in bed, they did nothing but hugged each other tightly.
The next day, the two went to work as usual. As soon as they arrived at the company, Mu Tianhe received a message from Lu Mingzhou, asking him to go to the office. Mu Tianhe ran to Lu Mingzhou's office reluctantly and cursing.
As soon as I opened the door, a voice came into the office, "You called me here before I even woke up! You capitalists are really going too far!"
To prove that he really hadn't slept well, he rubbed his eyes, but there was no response from the office. No one was there, and they hurriedly called me over! Mu Tianhe was even more angry. When he looked up, he saw Lu Mingzhou sitting in a chair with a cold face and silence.
He rushed in front of Lu Mingzhou and said, "Why aren't you talking? I thought you were not here." Mu Tianhe hadn't noticed anything was wrong at this time.
After saying this, Lu Mingzhou still didn't respond. Mu Tianhe then realized that something seemed amiss with Lu Mingzhou today. He straightened his expression, patted Lu Mingzhou on the shoulder, and said, "Mingzhou, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Mingzhou finally came to his senses and said, "You're here."
Mu Tianhe complained a little: "I've been here for a while, and you called me over so early, and you ignored me when I was talking to you."
Lu Mingzhou rubbed his eyebrows and said softly, "I'm sorry." He didn't sleep all night last night and was thinking all night, so he was a little absent-minded just now.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Mu Tianhe stopped making jokes and said, "Mingzhou, what brings you to me so early? I still haven't found anything about the thing you asked me to investigate yesterday."
Lu Mingzhou said: "No need to check."
Mu Tianhe was surprised and said, "No need to check. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Isn't that what you said at the beginning?"
Suddenly, another possibility came to Mu Tianhe's mind, "Or do you already know who made the suggestion?"
Lu Mingzhou hummed softly.
Hearing this, Mu Tianhe was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Mingzhou, you are worthy of it. You found out who it is so quickly!"
He continued, "Now that we know who it is, we can investigate this person later. I want to see who can ruin our plan."
Then he heard a familiar name and his eyes widened for a moment.
"Didn't you say before that he disappeared the day before the wedding? When did he come back? How come I didn't know?" In fact, Lu Mingzhou had mentioned it to him once before, but he quickly forgot about it.
“I came back before the New Year.”
"No wonder, no wonder Lu Junyi and his wife listened to him, but didn't you say that your brother didn't plan to inherit the family business?" At that time, he said that this kind of deception was fine, with so much property, how could anyone not inherit it, not to mention that he was the eldest son in the family and Lu Junyi's legitimate son.
Lu Mingzhou didn't know how to answer this question, so he remained silent.
As a friend who grew up together, Mu Tianhe witnessed the process of the two brothers' deep feelings turning into a gradual indifference. At first he was surprised, but after learning the truth from Lu Mingzhou, he felt incredible and very sorry at the same time. Such a good pair of brothers became estranged because of these messy things.
At the same time, he also knew that Lu Mingzhou was never as calm as he appeared on the surface. He was a very sentimental person.
Mu Tianhe sighed, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Mingzhou, these things are not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself."
Lu Mingzhou's expression finally changed. He raised his head and looked through the swaying curtains. The morning sun was rising and pouring down. He slowly said, "It's a nice day today."
Mu Tianhe was completely bewildered. They were talking about serious matters, so why was the weather suddenly mentioned? However, seeing that he was in the mood to talk about the weather, it meant that he had almost adjusted himself, so he didn't need to worry anymore.
Mu Tianhe was called over by Lu Mingzhou early in the morning and was extremely sleepy. Coincidentally, his assistant Liu Jia had taken a leave of absence today, so he planned to go downstairs to buy a cup of coffee.
He walked to the elevator, pressed the down button, covered his mouth and yawned loudly. With a "ding", the elevator door opened. Just as he was about to step in, he heard a voice: "Mr. Mu, good morning."
He suspected he was hallucinating. He remembered that there were no women in the company's senior management. This wasn't a public elevator, so how could there be girls? He half-closed his eyes and still wanted to go up. The next second, Ye Anyu called out again: "Mr. Mu."
Mu Tianhe suddenly woke up and realized that it was his brother's wife.
Ye Anyu knew that Lu Mingzhou had not slept all night last night and was a little worried about him. If she sent a message, he would definitely say that he was fine. After thinking it over, she bought a cup of coffee and decided to bring it to him personally.
Unexpectedly, when the elevator opened, the first person she met was not Lu Mingzhou, but Mu Tianhe. He was wearing a white coat, and his hair was not as well-groomed as usual, scattered casually on his forehead. He squinted his eyes, yawned, and looked sleepy. She greeted him quickly.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to see Mingzhou?"
Ye Anyu nodded. It seemed that Mu Tianhe had just come out of Lu Mingzhou's office. She asked, "Mr. Mu, how is my brother?"
Mu Tianhe had already woken up. He paused, glanced at Ye Anyu, and said, "Not very good."
The worry in Ye Anyu's eyes was evident. Mu Tianhe continued, "Sister-in-law, Mingzhou really likes you. No matter what, don't hurt him."
Ye Anyu stared at Mu Tianhe with a firm gaze and said, "I know, I won't hurt him." How could she bear to hurt such a good person?
Assistant Liao was just coming back from the water room when he heard this. He couldn't help but sigh: I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be such a passionate person! No wonder he rejected so many beautiful women who threw themselves at him before. He had suspected that there was something wrong with Mr. Lu, but he didn't expect the reason to be this.
After listening to Mu Tianhe's words, Ye Anyu walked straight to Lu Mingzhou's office and knocked on the door.
Lu Mingzhou thought it was Mu Tianhe who had returned, so he just said "Come in" and continued to stand in front of the window, his eyes focused outside.
Ye Anyu pushed the door open and came in. He subconsciously looked at the workstation but saw no one there. Then he looked around the room, his eyes focused on the figure in front of the window.
Lu Mingzhou asked, "Anything else?"
Ye Anyu knew that he had misunderstood, and said, "Brother, let me bring you a cup of coffee."
