Chapter 182 Gathering in Shanghai



Although Lu De'an cannot compare with Liu Zhao, his official position is still quite high, and he holds real power.

Ke Chongshan naturally wanted to get in touch with him, but little did he know that Lu De'an also wanted to get in touch with Liu Zhao.

At the time, Ke Chongshan said that as long as Lu De'an agreed to the marriage of the two children, it would be fine for Li Xian to marry into the Lu family.

You should know that if Li Xian were just Ke Chongshan's grandson, let alone Lu Minghui, even Lu Xueyun and Lu De'an would have to think twice.

But Li Xian is Liu Zhao's godson, so they are naturally quite different.

Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, with Li Xian having a slight advantage due to his relationship with Liu Zhao. However, Ke Chongshan, fearing he wouldn't be able to win over Lu De'an, lowered his stance to the point of being a sycophant, even going so far as to suggest marrying into the family.

This inevitably made Lu De'an arrogant.

This pretentious act led to a missed opportunity.

To make matters worse, Lu Minghui was expelled from school.

The fact that more than twenty female students dropped out of Shanghai University at once was already a topic of discussion, and then Li Xian and Xu Nuo got involved as well.

Zhongxu Group and Nuomei Biotechnology were already attracting attention, and gossip about these two people was like water boiling in a hot pan.

Lu Minghui's reputation was naturally ruined.

She doesn't even dare to leave the house now, and spends her days in tears.

Having no other option, Lu De'an had to find a way to bring Lu Xueyun, who had been sent to the countryside, back with him.

Since I've already broken one flower, I should hurry up and plant another one.

It's true that Xu Nuo and the Lu family are destined to be enemies. In Lu County, Lu Xueyun and Xu Nuo had a falling out, and in Shanghai, Lu Minghui and Xu Nuo had this incident.

This is quite a feud.

Since Lu De'an and Lu Xueyun greeted him with smiles, Xu Nuo naturally returned the same attitude. However, when Lu Xueyun tried to get closer to him, Xu Nuo asked with great confusion, "Comrade, who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueyun was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it: "I am Xueyun, don't you remember Comrade Xu Nuo? I worked in the cafeteria with Xu Yan."

Xu Nuo nodded thoughtfully, as if recalling something, and gave a perfunctory nod: "Oh, I see."

This attitude was obvious to others; they probably didn't have a very close relationship.

"You were teaching in the village back then, but you stopped going after the incident, have you forgotten?"

Ke Han reacted quickly this time, asking, "What happened?"

Lu Xueyun looked like she had misspoke and quickly waved her hand, "No, it's nothing."

The attempt to cover it up only makes it more obvious and arouses curiosity.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when a young and beautiful girl has an accident?

Xu Nuo thought Lu Xueyun was really brainless. Lu De'an didn't care about Lu Minghui being expelled from school and brought Lu Xueyun to get close to her. Lu Xueyun even thought of tricking her.

Xu Nuo spoke frankly, as if telling someone else's story: "Back then, a village woman did something wrong and implicated me. After the matter was investigated, she was exonerated by the villagers."

Lu Xueyun didn't expect Xu Nuo to explain it so clearly in just a few words. After she finished speaking, she turned to her and asked, "Right, Comrade Lu? I had already left Luxian Village by then. It was Li Xian who told me."

Yes, Xu Nuo and Li Xian met in Luxian Village.

Someone immediately chimed in: "Then it must be true. Mr. Li would never lie to you."

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and cursed the village woman for being vicious.

"To think that you could falsely accuse someone with baseless accusations, you deserve to die a thousand times over."

"Exactly, when you encounter someone who just talks nonsense, you should slap them across the face."

Lu Xueyun gave an awkward laugh: "Yes, yes."

At the banquet, Xu Nuo stole the show more than Ke Chongshan and the others combined.

But Ke Chongshan still had to smile and send the person back to school.

When he got back, Ke Chongshan specially opened the congratulatory gift that Xu Nuo had given him, thinking that since she was the boss of Nuomei, she would definitely give him something from Nuomei. However, he was greatly disappointed when he opened it.

Xu Nuo actually gave her a decorative item.

It wasn't some expensive antique wooden carving; it was just one of those bamboo woven ornaments you buy from a craft shop.

It's not necessarily that good-looking.

It's completely useless.

Ke Chongshan: “…”

Xu Nuo did it on purpose.

She has plenty of herbal teas, but she won't give any as gifts. Instead, she bought a useless decorative item, making no attempt to hide her perfunctory attitude.

Ke Chongshan wanted her to create momentum, so she gave Ke Chongshan face and maintained peace on the ground.

What kind of bicycle does Ke Chongshan want?

Two days after Ke Chongshan's birthday, Xu Jinan and others arrived in Shanghai.

Not only Xu Jinan and his wife, but also Xu Yan and Luo Chen.

The policy on educated youth has been revised, and anyone who wishes to return to their hometown can do so voluntarily.

Xu Nuo hadn't seen Xu Yan for a long time. Although the two often corresponded, their eyes still welled up with tears when they met. Xu Yan hugged her, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "I'm sorry, Nuo Nuo. I didn't know back then."

Xu Nuo gave a coquettish "Mmm": "I already said I forgive you, but this is the last time. I can share joys and sorrows with you, but you can't hide things from me when something happens, or I'll be unhappy."

After saying that, she even made an angry gesture with her hands on her hips.

Xu Yan pinched her little cheek: "Okay."

The driver took everyone and their luggage to the apartment on Sufang Road. Xu Jinan and Xue Ping had lived in this apartment before, and Aunt Zhong had come to clean it that morning; it was very clean.

Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xu Yan, Xu Nuo, and Xue Ping shared a bed that night, and the three of them chatted all night long.

Normally, Xu Nuo would sleep until the afternoon, but the next morning she only lingered in bed for a short while before getting up.

Li Xian's plane today.

Xu Nuo took a car directly to the airport.

At that time, not everyone could fly on airplanes, and the scale was very small, so the space was open and parking was possible anywhere.

Xu Nuo was waiting in the car when she accidentally dozed off, her head tilting to the side.

While she was half asleep, a pair of hands gently hugged her.

Xu Nuo immediately opened her eyes and saw Li Xian smiling at her.

The man's voice was filled with longing as he said gently, "Nuonuo, I'm back."

Ignoring the presence of others, Xu Nuo opened her arms and threw herself into his embrace, nuzzling him affectionately and saying in a spoiled tone, "Li Xian, I missed you so much."

Li Xian's heart softened, and he wrapped his arms around her soft body, giving her a light kiss on the forehead: "Me too."

On the way back, Xu Nuo naturally clung to him as if no one else was around. At first, she talked to him with great interest about what had happened in the past few days, but later, in Li Xian's familiar embrace and with gentle pats on his back, she drifted off to sleep.

Li Xian ushered Duan San and William into another car, and while the driver focused on driving, he concentrated on holding the little guy in his arms.

Her fair and delicate face was like a peach blossom in March, both charming and beautiful, and even when she was asleep, she still had an endearing and innocent charm.

When the car bumps and disturbs her, she will let out a pitiful whimper, and he will pat her shoulder or back to soothe her and patiently coax her to sleep.

Judging from her sleeping state, Li Xian knew that she must have been chatting too late last night.

He gently tapped her little nose.

I was very jealous.
