53 053 For the sake of heritage
◎Light a cigarette.◎
After Jiang Xiu finished saying these words of comfort, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence, and even she herself felt that something was wrong.
Hey, what's going on? In order to comfort her daughter-in-law, she scolded her own son, as if she was saying that it was a good thing for him to die.
"Mom, you are so good to me, better than my own mom! Wuuuuu——" Ren Lu didn't give her a chance to regret. She hugged her tightly and cried even more heartbreakingly.
Jiang Xiu didn't care about the logic anymore and just focused on comforting her.
Anyway, my son is dead and can’t hear these words, so it’s more important to stabilize the living people first.
Besides, this bastard is such a jerk. Ren Lu suffered a lot with him, but he actually gave her a divorce agreement. Is this something a human being would do?
If he hadn't been dead, she would have probably cursed him a few more times.
***
In a villa in Yanjiao, Lu Sinian walked out of the bedroom just after the cleaning lady left.
He is now in a state of suspended animation and is also an illegal resident, so it is not very convenient for him to travel.
However, because he followed He Wen, he had a rare bit of good luck, so he was able to move to the outskirts of Beijing, making it more convenient for He Wen to investigate the Lu family.
This villa is not registered in his name, otherwise he would not be qualified to live in it at this moment. After the inheritance is delivered, all his personal assets belong to Ren Lu.
"Knock knock knock—" There was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Sinian glanced at the time. It was not He Wen's time to get off work, so he ignored it and just pretended that no one was at home.
"It's me. Open the door. Wenwen asked me to come." The man standing outside the door spoke in a cold voice, with a familiar but unhappy tone.
Lu Sinian pretended not to know and continued to sit on the sofa without moving, allowing him to knock on the door.
"I know you're home. You'd better open the door."
"I called the police."
The person outside the door lost his patience and his tone became colder, even containing a warning.
Unfortunately, Lu Sinian still turned a deaf ear and did not move at all.
"The DNA report is out. I'll deliver it." In the end, the person outside the door compromised. He neither called the police nor told the truth.
Lu Sinian then stood up and opened the door.
The man outside the door was very thin and strong. He was dressed in white, even his shoes were white. His hair was very neatly groomed, with every hair in its right place.
Lu Sinian quickly moved away from him, but his nose was still filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, which made him frown.
[Xiang Yunze, 25 years old, an intern at a tertiary hospital, is extremely talented and will shine in the medical field in the future. He is a crazy male protagonist with severe mysophobia, and He Wen is the good medicine to cure his mental illness.]
"Report." Xiang Yunze put the report on the table, obviously not wanting to have any contact with him.
He was wearing white gloves on his hands. He was obviously a handsome young man, but his outfit was so strange that it made people feel intimidated.
Lu Sinian is no longer surprised. Nowadays, anyone who is not weird is not worthy of being called the male or female protagonist.
This is a paternity test. The protagonist is the baby in Lu Hui and Meihua's belly, and the results shown are not surprising at all.
"Thank you. I'll have someone transfer the reward to your card." He nodded to express his gratitude.
"I don't want it." Xiang Yunze refused coldly.
"You can go now." Lu Sinian didn't try to persuade him, but just let him leave.
"You should go."
"This house is mine, and the floor tiles you are standing on are also mine." Lu Sinian said in a cold voice.
Xiang Yunze was silent for a moment, obviously choked. After a while, he said, "What do you want to do to stop pestering Wenwen? Your Lu family is so deep. She is simple-minded and cannot be defeated. It is easy to cause trouble for her, or even kill her."
Lu Sinian looked up at him and thought, here he comes.
He Wen is a reporter and Xiang Yunze is a doctor. They are childhood sweethearts. They both have their own careers, but they are also in love.
Childhood sweethearts VS someone who falls from the sky is an old classic plot. It is obvious that Xiang Yunze regards him as someone who falls from the sky, and he is eager to compete with him.
"Behind every successful woman, there is a man who contributes silently. He Wenhui will be a rising star in the journalism industry. She is now working hard on her career. As a man, you should be generous and considerate, instead of holding her back." Lu Sinian said confidently.
Xiang Yunze, who had a lot to say, was shocked when he heard what he said. It was as if he had seen a ghost.
Is this something Lu Sinian could say? It seemed to make sense at first, but if you think about it carefully, it was weird everywhere.
"Are you out of your mind? How dare you say such things? Your wife is just sitting at home as a rich man's wife, and she hasn't made any achievements in her career, yet you're still reminding me of this. Who is holding you back?"
Xiang Yunze is a serious man with a calm and aloof personality. Except for the time when he loses control easily when facing He Wen, he is mostly expressionless most of the time. But at this moment he was forced to curse.
When Lu Sinian heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and looked at him with a hint of sarcasm.
"Who said that? The career she fought for is my legacy, and now she has achieved what she wanted. I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I have no romantic feelings for He Wen. I am her employer, and our relationship is purely financial, without any emotional entanglement. I have always been a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters."
After hearing his words of comfort, Xiang Yunze did not feel relieved, but became even more stressed.
"You can distinguish between public and private affairs? I don't believe you. Why don't you think about it, what did your wife do before? She was just a secretary who helped you with your work. You are simply not a human being. You turned your secretary into your wife while you were doing your job. You have a criminal record and bad conduct. Shouldn't I doubt you?"
Xiang Yunze immediately burst into swearing. He got angry whenever he talked about these things. Ren Lu was promoted from a secretary to Mrs. Lu. Almost the whole country knew about this and it had been exposed countless times.
Lu Sinian couldn't help but pursed his lips and fell into silence for a rare time, obviously choking on the topic.
It is indeed impossible to refute.
"You don't understand, Ren Lu she-" He was silent for two seconds before continuing: "It's different."
He didn't know how to explain it. Ren Lu was Ren Lu and others were others.
There were many people lurking around him, wanting to get to the top, both men and women, but none of them succeeded.
Even before Ren Lu showed up, Lu Sinian hated people who couldn't distinguish between public and private matters. Did he look like a horny idiot? Was he that easily seduced?
But when things happened, all the previous ideas became a joke.
"I really don't understand, but I know Wenwen is good in every way and it's easy for people to fall in love with her. You are a bad guy with a lot of tricks in your mind. You came to her for unknown purposes. It seemed accidental, but it was actually planned for a long time. You can fool her, but you can't fool me."
"I will help her investigate the Lu family's affairs, but don't have any bad thoughts towards her, otherwise I have plenty of ways to kill you. I am not only an excellent surgeon, but I am also good at handling corpses when necessary."
Like a lion whose territory was invaded, he issued a strong warning to the outsider Lu Sinian. If Lu Sinian made any inappropriate move, he would rush over and bite him to death at any time.
Looking at him like a brainless and resentful husband, Lu Sinian wanted to smoke a cigarette to wake himself up.
He knew that the crazy male protagonists in romance novels were the most difficult to deal with and were pure psychopaths.
Just at this moment, the sound of the password being unlocked came from outside, and He Wen finally came back.
She was dressed unusually low-key, in a brown sportswear and a hat, obviously to avoid attracting attention.
"Yun Ze, you're here. Isn't the hospital busy today?" The moment she saw Xiang Yun Ze, a smile immediately appeared on her face with curved eyebrows.
When Xiang Yunze saw that she only greeted him, he instantly became more cheerful and looked at her gently.
"I'm here to deliver the report. Did your investigation go well today? Are you tired? Let me give you a massage?" He walked forward while asking, put his hands on her shoulders, and began to knead them naturally.
The two have been childhood sweethearts and have long been accustomed to physical contact with each other. They get along very harmoniously and naturally exclude everyone else.
"He came here to confess his love to you. He said he loves you till death, and he wants to kill any man who gets close to you."
Lu Sinian, who had always been ignored, felt jealous when he saw the tacit understanding between the two of them as if they were the only ones around.
Haha, he is obviously married, but he has no relationship yet. He is only interested in the body and not the heart. It is so uncomfortable to see this affectionate couple.
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into deathly silence.
He Wen opened her mouth wide and looked at Lu Sinian in surprise, then turned to look at Xiang Yunze, as if waiting for his explanation.
"No, no, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't love him - no, I'm not here to confess my love, I'm just here to deliver a report..."
Xiang Yunze waved his hands in panic to explain, but he obviously couldn't explain it clearly. He couldn't say that he didn't love He Wen, but it was also difficult for him to be honest.
Because He Wen obviously didn't think about it that way, she just regarded him as a good brother and a good friend. In his opinion, the relationship between them had never turned into ambiguity. Now that Lu Sinian had forcibly broken the window paper, it seemed weird no matter how he looked at it. He was afraid that they could no longer even be friends.
Looking at his confused appearance, Lu Sinian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and a sense of refreshment inexplicably surged in his heart.
He stood up and left tactfully, leaving space for them.
"Knock knock knock--" There was a knock on the door, followed by He Wen calling him out.
"He's gone? Did you guys start chatting?" Lu Sinian slowly opened the door, looked around, but did not see Xiang Yunze.
"Let's go. I always thought you were out of touch with the world. I didn't expect you to be so gossipy." He Wen snorted coldly, his face gloomy, obviously in a bad mood.
Lu Sinian curled the corners of his lips quietly. It seemed that the conversation had broken down. It was good that the conversation had broken down.
He was indeed not a gossipy person, and he didn't care about the love-hate relationship between the two of them. However, ever since Xiang Yunze became more and more disgusted with him, Lu Sinian found that there was suddenly an extra line of words in his floating self-introduction.
[Lu Sinian, 29 years old, CEO of Shengtian Group, young and promising, and also a stepping stone for various male and female protagonists. He lives to set off others until his death. Now he is intervening in the relationship between He Wen and Xiang Yunze, preparing to snatch his wife. ]
When he saw this line of words, he just thought that this golden finger was crazy.
He didn't regard He Wen as a woman at all, but only as a handy tool because of her useful attributes and the fact that she completed the task extremely well.
How can you say that you interfere with someone's feelings? That's complete nonsense. Doesn't he know whether he is moved or not?
But today, after Xiang Yunze rushed over and argued with him, he understood.
It doesn't matter whether he is moved or not. What matters is that the male protagonist feels that he is moved and is determined to compete with him, then he will automatically become a stepping stone.
That's why this happened. Since he was asked to interfere in other people's feelings, he would confess on behalf of others.
Even if there are still a hundred and eighty steps to go between He Wen and Xiang Yunze, steps to enhance feelings and ambiguity such as leaning on a shoulder for affection, putting on clothes and delivering meals, and saving each other have nothing to do with him. He is determined to do it in one step and force things to happen.
If they broke up because of this, he would applaud even more.
"I am a kind person and I can't bear to see him suffer in this love." Lu Sinian lied with his eyes open.
He Wen sneered on the spot: "Stop lying with your eyes open, okay? Haven't you made others suffer enough in love? I met Ren Lu today. My poor sister is obviously beautiful and cool, but when she met you, she was obsessed with love. She was unshakable in the face of billions of inheritance and wanted to commit suicide for love!"
"I'm really impressed. You, a lowly man, are living a good life, but you make the life of the one who loves you worse than death! Aren't you very proud to have such a goddess who is willing to die for you?"
It would have been fine if Lu Sinian hadn't mentioned this, but now that he was acting so pretentious, He Wen was so pissed off that she was fuming, and what she said was quite unpleasant.
"What do you mean? She committed suicide for love?" the man asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes, your old lady is so cruel. The goddess was about to commit suicide for love, but she still said that my sister did it for your inheritance. Who would be interested in your little stuff? With the goddess's talent and beauty, she just hooked up with an old man. Isn't he richer than you? She obviously loves you truly, but your family wants to tarnish her love!" He Wen was so angry that she spoke without thinking.
Lu Sinian said nothing and listened in silence to her telling the story of what happened in the Lu family today. Looking at her indignant expression, he really wanted to light a cigarette.
This time I ordered it for myself.
Fuck, he was just talking about it before, but now it is certain that Ren Lu did it for his inheritance.
