"Wait, don't say anything yet, let me say it."
Lu Zhengjing suddenly interrupted her, feeling that once she said something, it would be difficult to take it back.
"Comrade Chen Xihua, putting aside all the previous events, I can see that you don't dislike me."
And I love you, I'm sure of it, both before and after I lost my memory.
Even before I lost my memory, I already liked you. You're very smart; you should have noticed that too.
As for why I'm so sure, it's not entirely based on my own feelings. I also asked my sixth sister to verify, and she said that my previous behavior indicated that I liked you.
His sixth sister? Chen Xihua also remembered who it was. When his second sister rescued him, she took him to the Southern Province Military Region Hospital, where she met Dr. Lu Zhengyi.
Later, it was Dr. Lu who performed the cesarean section on my third sister.
He had been watching Chen Xihua's expression closely. He paused for a moment, then continued, "And your hesitation and indecision are not because we are not suitable for each other."
It's because of my problem that you have some lingering resentment that hasn't completely dissipated, or that you're stuck in a rut.
It's not your fault. You're a proud person, so you really don't need to wrong yourself.
But if you still have even a little bit of feeling for me, could you give me a chance, a chance to pursue you?
"In the meantime, you can vent all your anger on me, and test me however you want, okay?"
During this period of time, Lu Zhengjing thought about it carefully before figuring out the problem.
He didn't do enough. Liking someone isn't just about saying it; besides, young girls also have pride.
Especially someone like Chen Xihua, who can start from scratch and build a group company, is someone whose abilities and emotional control are unmatched by ordinary people.
Even if she really likes someone, she will consider things rationally and will not lose herself because of a man.
She wants a partner who is her equal and with whom she can feel comfortable.
Their problem lies in the word "comfort".
Because of what happened before, she felt uncomfortable and thought she shouldn't have dated someone who looked down on her family, not because she was indifferent to him.
Lu Zhengjing concluded earnestly, "My father's 70th birthday banquet is in two weeks, and I would like to invite you to be my guest that day."
"Then, you can refuse me in front of all my relatives and friends in the Lu family, as long as it makes you feel better."
"And then?" Chen Xihua listened quietly to him, wanting to hear what this Master Lu Qi could say.
She felt that this wasn't his goal; there was more to come.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Zhengjing knew he had a chance, and suddenly became cheeky, saying, "Then, I started to pursue you shamelessly until you agreed."
Chen Xihua's lips twitched. She roughly understood his tactics; he wanted to help her and the Chen family save face.
The Lu and Shen families looked down on the Chen family, and now the Chen family looks down on the Lu family as well.
Seeing her smile, Lu Zhengjing added, "I heard that your Chen family is looking for a son-in-law to live with them. What do you think about me marrying into your Chen family?"
“No need for me to marry into your family, Seventh Master Lu. Actually, I was just about to say that before, we really didn’t have any relationship. Now, it’s not like we can’t give everyone a chance.” She didn’t believe in the whole “marrying into someone’s family” thing.
Lu Zhengjing jumped to his feet, both surprised and somewhat incredulous: "Really?"
Chen Xihua smiled broadly, looked up at his surprised expression, and smiled.
At this moment, she felt much better and didn't need to wait for him to shamelessly pursue her.
At least his current attitude has pleased her. Lu Zhengjing hit the nail on the head; she hadn't completely let go of her resentment before.
"Is a three-month probation period enough for you?!"
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Lu Zhengjing immediately gave her a military salute, his eyes firm and serious.
After leaving Wei Xuan Yuan, the atmosphere between the two changed. Lu Zhengjing's happy and cheerful demeanor also infected Chen Xihua.
Now that you've made the decision, you should be happy!
When Chen Xihua returned to the courtyard house, Huo Kai was also there.
He had called twice to arrange a visit, but both times the Chen family was busy, and the Chen sisters, especially Chen Jinhua, were not home.
This time, he had already found out in advance that all four of Chen's sisters would be there today, Saturday.
Chen Jinhua was still in Beijing when the lieutenant general asked her to cooperate in investigating the Beijing Nightclub.
When they saw Chen Xihua and Lu Zhengjing walking in side by side from the door.
Chen Jinhua pretended not to recognize him, his tone somewhat disdainful: "Xiao Wu, who is this comrade? He's not here to collect the water and electricity bills, is he?"
"Teacher Qin, you said this morning that the community workers would be coming to collect the water and electricity fees in the next couple of days, right?"
Old Man Qin wanted to agree with her, but since Lu Zhengjing had been there and even saved his elder brother, while he himself had lost his memory, he couldn't very well say he didn't know him: "Seventh son of the Lu family."
"Hello Professor Qin, I am the seventh son of the Lu family. Hello to Xihua's three older sisters. I just picked up Xihua to have dinner and am now bringing her back."
Lu Zhengjing was very polite. Although he couldn't remember, it didn't stop him from greeting people. At the end, he deliberately added a sentence, subtly implying that the relationship between the two was not simple.
Upon hearing this, Chen Meihua and Huo Kai displayed the most exaggerated expressions.
Huo Kai, who was about to speak, but stopped himself and changed to normal small talk: "Hello, Master Lu, I am Huo Kai, Chen Xiaowu, it's been a long time."
Chen Meihua's eyes were full of gossip.
A few days ago, she auditioned for the role of the favored concubine and happened to meet Bai Feng, the boss of Fengying Entertainment Company, on set.
Having been in Beijing for over a week, and being on a film set where she heard the most gossip, she already knew quite a bit about the gossip surrounding the young masters and ladies in Beijing's upper circles.
This Master Lu has been the most talked about person, and now he's actually showing up at their house, and even bringing Xiao Wu back.
She raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Wu..." Don't you want to explain? What's your relationship with him?
Chen Xihua ignored Chen San San and said to Lu Zhengjing, "I'm home now. Didn't you say you had to go back to the company later? You can go now!"
"Okay." Lu Zhengjing's eyes darkened, but he didn't want to push her too hard, so he naturally went along with her words, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
As soon as the courtyard gate closed, Chen Meihua exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Wu, is Seventh Master Lu chasing after you?!"
He's good-looking, even more attractive than many male celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Chen Jinhua glanced at her: "Chen San San, have you been in the entertainment industry for too long? Are you only blinded by people's appearances? Didn't you notice how old he is?! An old cow eating young grass!"
Huo Kai, standing next to him, subconsciously thought about his own age. He was 25 years old this year. Well, not too old, right?
Sister Chen should be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. No, he's older than her, so he can't call her "sister."
"Xiao Wu?" Chen Xiuhua couldn't help but ask.
She hadn't spoken until now because she was a little worried. After all, the Lu family had looked down on her eldest sister back then.
Now, he and Xiao Wu are not a good match.
Moreover, that person was indeed too old. Xiao Wu is only 19 years old this year, while Master Lu Qi looks to be at least 27 or 28.
The person with the least reaction to Lu's seventh son bringing Chen Xihua back was Old Man Qin.
He looked at Chen Xihua and said meaningfully, "Hehe, winter is coming, can spring be far behind?"
He had already noticed the signs, but Xiao Wu was just being dramatic.
He had said before that she is herself, and Chunhua is Chunhua.
Xiao Wu doesn't need to let her older sister's situation influence her decision.
"What's wrong? It's just that Lu Zhengjing drove me home. Why are you all making such a fuss?"
Chen Xihua remained calm and didn't explain their current situation, vaguely changing the subject.
"By the way, Master Lu said that Zhang Anguo is under investigation. It was indeed him who hired someone to run us over with a car, trying to create an accident."
"We know everything!" Chen Jinhua: She's got a hard fist. She knows about the investigation team too. Does she need him to tell her?
Tomorrow, tomorrow she'll find Lu Zhengjing and start a fight.
On the other side, Lu Zhengjing had just returned to the military compound when he met his second sister, Lu Zhengnan, at the entrance.
"Seventh Brother, I heard you're dating someone? Is she a student at Peking University? Which girl is she?"
