Chapter 140 The Man Who Died and Resurrected
"Feng Yizhou!" Without waiting for Chu Yanzhen to introduce himself, Feng Yizhou suddenly said his own name.
After hearing this, the man showed a faint smile on his face. The smile seemed gentle, but it made people feel a little unpredictable.
"Hello, my name is Li Chengru!" His voice was low and mellow, like the hum of a cello, flowing slowly in the air.
As he spoke, Li Chengru politely extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Feng Yizhou. His movements were elegant and natural, showing his good upbringing.
However, Feng Yizhou seemed to have seen something disgusting and quickly dodged the hand that Li Chengru extended.
Faced with Feng Yizhou's rude behavior, Li Chengru was not angry. Instead, he still had a faint smile on his face, as if Feng Yizhou's reaction was already within his expectations.
"This is the first time I meet Mr. Feng. I don't know why you are so hostile to me." He tilted his head slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
His tone remained calm, as if he was discussing an insignificant matter with an old friend.
"Oh? This is the first time Mr. Li and I are meeting each other, but I feel like I have met you many times. I feel like we met too late!"
Feng Yizhou did not back down at all. With naked provocation in his eyes, he stared straight at Li Chengru, as if he wanted to see through him.
Li Ruochu stood aside, watching this sudden scene, his heart full of confusion.
She didn't understand what was wrong with Feng Yizhou today. In her memory, she seemed to have never seen him like this before.
Feng Yizhou is usually calm and composed, and his every move is graceful, but at this moment he is so aggressive, which is really not like his style.
It's not okay to be so aggressive.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry. Our President Feng must have recognized the wrong person. Please do as you please!" Li Ruochu quickly tried to smooth things over with an apologetic smile on his face.
After saying that, she gently grabbed Feng Yizhou's arm, used some strength, and pulled him away.
After sitting down on the sofa, Li Ruochu could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart. He turned to look at Feng Yizhou, his eyes full of questions: "Do you really know that man?"
Although her voice was not loud, it was filled with a hint of urgency, wanting to know the answer immediately.
"Yes, very familiar!" Feng Yizhou answered truthfully. His face looked a little ugly and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was recalling something.
The furrowed brows made his originally handsome face look more haggard and tired.
"But the state he was in just now clearly showed that he didn't want to recognize you. Can't you wait until the party is over before talking about it?"
Li Ruochu looked at Feng Yizhou with a hint of resentment in his tone.
Although she didn't know what the relationship between the two of them was, but the fact that the usually calm Feng Yizhou could lose his composure like this showed that the person's identity must be very important, and might have some impact on them.
Feng Yizhou was silent for a moment, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, and he slowly said, "If a dead person suddenly stood in front of you, would you be surprised?"
His voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Hearing this, Li Ruochu was shocked and subconsciously looked at Li Chengru again.
For some reason, she seemed to feel familiar with this man, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
This feeling of déjà vu made her feel inexplicably uneasy.
The banquet proceeded in an orderly manner in a joyful atmosphere.
The hall was brightly lit and guests dressed in gorgeous clothes were walking around.
Most people carefully prepared gifts and presented them to Mr. Chu respectfully to express their sincere birthday wishes for him.
This time, unlike previous banquets, there were no people with ulterior motives deliberately causing trouble, nor were there any secret intrigues.
People were chatting happily and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, which made the banquet go exceptionally smoothly and ended much faster than usual.
Before leaving, Chu Yanzhen looked at Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou preparing to leave, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward quickly and suddenly called out to Li Ruochu: "Chuchu, are you really planning to be with Feng Yizhou?"
His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of reluctance and expectation.
Li Ruochu stopped, turned around, nodded seriously, and looked at Chu Yanzhen calmly: "I'm sorry, I know you feel for me, but I can't accommodate anyone else here. I also hope that you can find your own happiness."
Her eyes were gentle yet firm, and there was a hint of apology in her words.
After hearing this, Chu Yanzhen's eyes turned slightly red and the corners of his eyes suddenly became moist.
He smiled bitterly, his voice full of regret: "I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, so that you wouldn't be snatched away by Feng Yizhou."
He lowered his head slightly, as if regretting his previous hesitation.
"There is no question of competition between Feng Yizhou and me. What he has done for me is beyond your imagination." Li Ruochu's face was filled with a happy smile, and that smile was like the warm spring sun, illuminating her face.
She thought of everything Feng Yizhou had done for her and her heart was filled with emotion.
When Chu Yanzhen looked at the happy smile on Li Ruochu's face, he knew that he had indeed lost.
A complete defeat.
"Chu Chu, I still say the same thing. No matter how Feng Yizhou treats you in the future, you must remember that I am your backer."
Chu Yanzhen gazed at Li Ruchu deeply, his eyes full of affection and determination.
After saying that, he hugged Li Ruchu as if no one was around, his movements were gentle yet with a hint of reluctance.
Li Ruochu's body suddenly stiffened. She didn't expect Chu Yanzhen to suddenly do such a thing.
However, she did not push him away this time.
After a while, Chu Yanzhen slowly let go of Li Ruochu. He gently held Li Ruochu's shoulders and said seriously: "If anything dangerous happens in the future, remember to call me, and I will appear in front of you quickly."
His eyes were full of concern and commitment.
"Hey, is it fun to hug my woman?" Feng Yizhou leaned against the wall at some point and kept watching this scene.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Chu Yanzhen closely.
"What? Mr. Feng doesn't even have this little magnanimity?" Chu Yanzhen brought Li Ruochu to Feng Yizhou, and then gently pushed Li Ruochu into Feng Yizhou's arms.
The action seemed casual, but it carried a hint of reluctance.
"Feng Yizhou, treat Chuchu well, otherwise, I will snatch her away from you." Chu Yanzhen looked directly into Feng Yizhou's eyes and warned him in a firm tone.
"Don't worry, I won't give you that chance." Feng Yizhou hugged Li Ruochu tightly, turned around and left the Chu family with Li Ruochu.
