Chapter 448 A Dream within a Dream (1)
"...Ah!"
Li Yuanbao screamed and woke up from his sleep, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Zhu Chen came out of the bathroom, walked quickly to the bed, bent over to her, and kissed her on the face.
He stroked her forehead with his big hand and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Li Yuanbao looked at him for a long time before his eyes focused.
"Zhu Chen?"
Zhu Chen's brows slightly frowned, and disappeared in an instant.
A smile appeared in his eyes, "Are you back to your senses? What kind of nightmare did you have? Your forehead is covered in sweat..."
"I dreamed..."
Li Yuanbao shuddered when he thought of the contents of his dream. He stretched out his hands to hug Lu Zhuchen's neck, and snuggled into his arms, saying in a muffled voice, "I dreamed that we were both in prison, and we would spend the rest of our lives in prison..."
Lu Zhuchen patted her back gently, smiling and coaxing her like he was coaxing a child, "Is it because of the car accident involving your relative? Don't worry, I've asked someone to deal with it. The surveillance on that section of road has also been destroyed. No one will find out anything..."
Li Yuanbao nodded.
"Don't let my second uncle know. He has been in the army for many years and has many connections. We can use him in our business."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Zhu Chen held her in his arms and rocked her. "My young lady Zhu, get up? There is a charity dinner today, and you are the highlight! I heard that many big guys decided to go because of you. When the time comes, you must help me introduce them..."
"...Oh."
Li Yuanbao looked a little dazed. He stroked Zhu Chen's face, smiled, and said, "Brother Zhu Chen, don't worry. I will do my best to help you. The Zhu family should be yours. Your father..."
Li Yuanbao thought about the absurd dream and felt a disconnect between the reality of his father and elders.
"What's wrong with my dad?" Zhu Chen asked.
Li Yuanbao shook his head, "I don't know if what I feel is right. Your father doesn't seem to want to delegate power to you. Look, the projects you are in charge of are all insignificant. Anyone can do them..."
Zhu Chen's face changed.
He smiled, "You feel it too, so it should be correct."
"Brother Zhuchen?"
Zhuchen was a little disappointed. "My father is only in his forties, in his prime. I can understand that he doesn't want to give up power, but he doesn't even want to let me into the core of the company. He just lets me do odd jobs outside. I'm not even valued as the capable project managers under him..."
"Brother Zhuchen, why don't we go out and do it alone?"
Li Yuanbao thought of the ambitious energy of Zhuchen in her dream. She felt that it would not be a problem to pull Zhuchen up with her connections and resources in reality. It would be better than guarding the Zhue Group, which she didn't know when she would be able to take over, right?
"...Go it alone?" Zhuchen's eyes moved slightly. She was moved but didn't dare to show it directly, but the ambition in her eyes was already looming.
Li Yuanbao came over and pecked him on the lips, "Don't worry, brother Zhuchen, think about it carefully. Once this starts, it will be like a shot arrow, there is no turning back. We will definitely be lectured by your father, and maybe he won't even let you do it..."
Zhuchen frowned. He
complained, "...Then I can't always follow him around and do chores, right? I also want to be independent as soon as possible and protect you and our children from wind and rain..."
He stroked Li Yuanbao's belly, which was not yet pregnant, with fatherly love overflowing.
Li Yuanbao's body stiffened, and he thought of the son who was pushed down and fell to death in his dream, and his heart ached.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that she looked strange, Zhuchen asked with concern.
Li Yuanbao shook her head and her eyes met with those of Ruo Zhuchen. She was suddenly dazed for a moment, as if she saw the disgusting look of Ruo Zhuchen in her dream.
She put her hands on Ruo Zhuchen's chest and pushed him away twice in resistance.
Of course, she couldn't push him away.
Ruo Zhuchen was even more confused, "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing him calling her baby, Li Yuanbao came back to her senses. Seeing that his concerned look was not fake, she shook her head and smiled at him gently, "It's okay, I was affected by a nightmare. I'll be fine after a while."
"...What nightmare? Did I bully you in my dream? The way you looked at me just now was very strange..." Ruo Zhuchen asked.
Li Yuanbao pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "You bullied me and pushed me, causing our children to not even have a chance to see this world..."
"How is it possible?"
Zhu Chen's eyes were full of disbelief, "I will never do such a thing to you, baby, you have to believe me."
Li Yuanbao lowered her eyes and looked at him. After a long while, she smiled and hummed.
"I believe that Brother Zhu Chen in reality loves me."
"Who else can I love if I don't love you!" Zhu Chen smiled and hugged her. The two of them stayed in the room for a long time before Zhu Chen left.
Li Yuanbao lay down and wanted to take a nap, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She simply got up, went downstairs to eat something, and called a makeup artist to help her with her styling for the charity dinner.
When the housekeeper said that there was someone outside who claimed to be her second aunt who wanted to see her, she was really stunned.
"Fan Qingyi?"
The housekeeper nodded, "It seems to be this name."
"...Why did she come to see me?" Li Yuanbao looked at herself in the mirror, who was so beautiful with makeup that people couldn't take their eyes off her, and smiled with satisfaction.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It seems that she came because of her daughter's death, and said she wanted to ask you a question."
Li Yuanbao's smile froze slightly.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the housekeeper, her eyes were sharp and sharp.
The housekeeper immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.
The others noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and shut up.
"Take the person to the side hall for guests, I'll go over now."
The housekeeper responded and turned to go out.
Li Yuanbao waved and asked the makeup artist to remove her makeup first. Her beautiful makeup was not for her enemies to see.
Half an hour later, Li Yuanbao entered the side hall in simple home clothes.
At a glance, he recognized Fan Qingyi, who was sitting on the leather sofa, feeling uneasy and moving his butt constantly.
Fan Qingyi was still wearing patched clothes, and his shoes were hand-knitted cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles, and black coarse cloth pants.
His hair was like dead grass, clumped up on his head, with a few strands scattered messily, making him look even more wolfish.
Just that face, even though it was wrinkled and full of wrinkles, it can still be seen that she was an incredibly beautiful beauty when she was young.
Li Yuanbao curled her lips in disgust.
Thinking of that nightmare and then thinking about the reality, her heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge!
What if their second house was glorious in the dream?
In reality, all three of their concubines are gone!
Leaving behind the two old immortals gasping for breath, haha.
"Second aunt, you're looking for me?"
Fan Qingyi raised her eyes suddenly and met Li Yuanbao's gaze, her eyes full of bloodshot.
She stood up from the sofa, walked quickly to Li Yuanbao's side, and stretched out her hand to grab her, "Li Yuanbao, is that you? Did you send someone to arrange the car that hit Zhuzhu to death?!"
"Second aunt, what are you talking about?"
Li Yuanbao acted surprised and shocked at the right time, "What happened to Li Zhenzhu? Didn't she go back with you? How could she be hit to death? When did it happen?"
