Chapter 8 Seven Days After Being Dumped by Her
There was a reason why Liang Xu was so angry.
The scene four years ago was still clearly engraved in his mind.
Four years ago, after Lu Xiyan was dumped by An Ning, he kept saying harsh words to her and went crazy to check her whereabouts and news, but found nothing.
After that day, Lu Xiyan locked himself in the room for seven whole days, not going out and not seeing anyone.
When Liang Xu entered the code and pushed the door open, there was no light at all in the huge room. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen. The air was filled with the heavy smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and pungent dust, like a wine cellar that had been abandoned for half a year.
He turned on the lights in the house, and suddenly white light illuminated every corner of the house. Dust was flying in the light, and the surrounding environment was clearly visible.
Dozens of wine bottles of various sizes were lying scattered on the ground, all of which were the strongest wines in the Lu family's wine cellar.
Cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor, and cigarette ashes were everywhere on the carpet and sofa. It was simply a garbage dump.
It was clearly daytime, but the room seemed particularly gloomy. After only a few minutes, he felt a clear lack of oxygen. If the man slumped on the sofa didn't look like he was about to die, he would have wanted to run away from there immediately.
Liang Xu walked over and looked at the man in front of him. He had an unshaven beard and messy hair, and he exuded a decadent air. The smell of alcohol on him made him frown.
He hadn't originally planned to come over, thinking that Lu Xiyan just needed some time, and that a free and easy-going person like him would definitely be able to get over it on his own in a few days.
He didn't expect that he had locked himself up for seven whole days with no intention of going out. If he didn't have the password to his house, he really thought that if he came any later, he would have to collect his body.
Liang Xu sighed in frustration. He had never seen anyone torture the unruly Second Young Master Lu into this state.
There was no place to stand on the ground, so Liang Xu stepped over the piles of wine bottles, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains with a "whoosh". "I've found a part-time worker to clean up for you."
The sunlight poured in through the glass, stinging Lu Xiyan's eyes.
He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block it. When he spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, "She's gone..."
Liang Xu acted as if he hadn't heard him and continued, "If you don't want to live here, move back to Lu's house, or to the villa in Daguan. I'll arrange a housekeeper for you in advance."
"She left..." Lu Xiyan said this, tears falling, "She signed the divorce papers and left..."
Liang Xu chuckled and asked, "And then?"
"She's not coming back..." Lu Xiyan looked up at him, his eyes dark and bloodshot.
"So?" Liang Xu asked, "The Earth is no longer spinning? So you, Lu Xiyan, are no longer alive?"
"Here..." Lu Xiyan raised a finger and poked his heart, choking, "She hollowed this out... There's nothing here anymore."
Seeing his self-indulgent appearance, Liang Xu finally couldn't contain his anger. He pointed at him and said sternly, "Lu Xiyan! Don't forget that you are the second young master of the Lu Group! You have brought shame to your Lu family by getting yourself into this state because of a woman, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others!"
Lu Xiyan had a splitting headache. He chuckled lightly, his face nonchalant. "Let them watch if they want. What does it have to do with me?"
"Do you know how many people are waiting for your Lu family to fall? Outsiders are coveting it, but your Lu family is also undercurrents!"
Liang Xu pointed at his nose and shouted, "The Lu family's heir has never been decided. Your eldest brother, your uncle, who doesn't want to hold this tremendous power in their own hands!"
"Your father, Uncle Lu, has gone to great lengths to mediate with Old Master Lu, and what about you? What are you doing, Lu Xiyan? You've given up on yourself and fallen into depravity. How can you maintain your position as the heir to the Lu family with this awful look on your face?"
After hearing this, Lu Xiyan chuckled, "Are power and status really that important? Why do you all want it?"
He couldn't understand why so many people tried so hard to possess these empty material possessions. Even the person who once said that she liked him not because of his identity and status, ruthlessly told him during the divorce that he couldn't give her what she wanted.
"Yes, it's very important!" Liang Xu squatted down, met his dejected gaze, and said calmly, "Only with these can you do anything you want to do and refuse anything you don't want to do."
"All choices are above rights." He patted Lu Xiyan's shoulder, "You know this better than me, Xiyan."
He stood up and walked out. "I'll give you three days. After three days, I hope to see a brand new Lu Xiyan in the Lu Group, a Lu Xiyan who is capable and courageous enough to take charge of the Lu Group."
Three days later, Lu Xiyan really appeared in the Lu Group as he said.
He was dressed in a neat dark suit, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and he exuded an aura of nobility, arrogance and a desire to keep strangers away.
No one in the Lu family knew why the straightforward, free and unrestrained Second Young Master Lu seemed to have completely changed into a different person.
Only Liang Xu knew the answer.
It's just because of a woman.
A woman named An Ning.
......
Three o'clock in the afternoon, in a coffee shop on Golden Ring Street.
An Ning ordered a glass of water and sat by the window in the store waiting.
During this period, she received a call. She subconsciously thought it was from Lu Xiyan, but when she picked up the phone, it turned out to be a call from the company where she had submitted her resume.
In the days since returning to Jinghai, she has been looking for jobs.
Li Chunfang needs treatment, and she and An Xian need to live.
Zhao Li was right. Living in a hotel wasn't a long-term solution. She still needed to find a house, and Xianxian still had to go to school...
Both require money.
She had to keep looking for work to make money.
The HR on the phone told her that he was very satisfied with her resume and asked her to go for a second interview the next morning.
This job is good and the salary is high.
It would be best if you could get the job.
Thinking of this, An Ning calmed himself down and glanced at the time.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the person she was waiting for had not arrived yet.
An Ning lowered her dim eyes and stared at the water in the transparent cup on the table.
The roar of a motorcycle whizzed past the window, and she subconsciously looked over.
A shadow on a black motorcycle sped past, getting farther and farther away.
A carefree and unrestrained smiling face suddenly appeared in her mind. He took off his helmet and casually shook his short black hair. His originally cool and handsome face smiled sweetly, with the corners of his mouth raised into the shape of parentheses. He smiled at her, "An Ning, the back seat of my motorcycle is where only you can sit."
"I'm driving fast, hold on tight."
"Ningning, hold me tighter, tighter."
"Ningning, I love you so much..."
An Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she came back to her senses from her trance. She picked up the water glass and took two big gulps.
