"Two young people with the same suffering met and struck up a chord. They quietly left their families and lived ordinary lives in hiding. Until they both died in an accident, I stayed in the orphanage for a few years before my grandfather brought me back to the Lu family..."
Lu Yin didn't want to go into detail about what happened before, but Qi Nuan knew everything that happened afterwards.
"Didn't your uncle... Old Man Gu come looking for you?"
Lu Yin replied jokingly, "Looking for her? He probably just wishes my mom would never come back, so he could peacefully take possession of those assets."
"But my mother didn't let him have his way."
Qi Nuan looked over and saw Lu Yin smiling cunningly.
"Ever since I was born, my mother hasn't been so indifferent. She wanted to leave more things for me after she passed away, so she wrote a will long ago and had it notarized quietly by a lawyer familiar to the Gu family."
"So it wasn't Old Man Gu who had a change of heart. It was you who went to him with the will?"
"As expected of Miss Qi, she is still as smart as ever."
Qi Nuan was startled by Lu Yin's expression, which was similar to his old one. He seemed to have realized something and quickly put on his mature mask.
"Is it okay for me to know this important information?"
"If you don't choose me, will you choose Gu Hui?" Lu Yin asked calmly.
"No, that's not the case. We're going to be with each other, so of course I'll choose you."
Lu Yin looked at the flattering smile on Qi Nuan's face and said nothing: "It will be revealed soon. It's not a big secret."
He kindly reminded her, "Qi Meng probably does have the secret key to Gu Tingze's will. Let Zhao Yu look for it later. Just persuade her to accept Zhao Ying's invitation. Gu Hui doesn't dare to provoke the Pei family, so don't act alone."
With the aforementioned reasons, Qi Nuan now has almost no doubt that Gu Hui has obtained the secret key and will probably not let Qi Meng go easily.
Zhao Ying invited Qi Meng to be a live-in tutor at the Pei family, which was a disguised protection measure for her.
But Zhao Ying just met her today and had only seen Qi Meng on the media channel. What reason did she have to help her sisters?
Did Lu Yin ask her for help in order to help her?
"Look at what I'm doing, eat quickly. Didn't you say you'd serve me well? I won't grant you leave. It's almost time to go to work. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry in the afternoon."
As soon as he looked over, the man who was being stared at poured a bucket of cold water on Qi Nuan.
She must be out of her mind to think that Lu Yin did this for her.
People are doing this for their own benefit, so they can't throw away the tools before they're done using them.
Qi Nuan, you have to stay awake!
He gnawed at the steak angrily, and soon the plate was empty.
Thinking that her boss was paying for it, Qi Nuan even ate one more dessert.
After dinner, they did not return the same way. Special Assistant Zhao drove Lu Yin's car and waited outside the hotel early.
"It's such a short distance, no need." Qi Nuan wanted to refuse.
"They've been spotted by the group. I bet there's an ambush along that road."
Qi Nuan agreed with Lu Yin's words. What people in large groups are most interested in is the gossip and secrets of the bosses. Some of them might even be holding their phones and waiting to take pictures of the evidence.
But when the car started, she realized: Lu Yin just needed to get in the car. As long as they didn't travel together, there would be no evidence, right?
Before the word "stop" was uttered, the front driver's sidewall was quickly lowered.
"The boss has done so much for you and even treated you to an expensive lunch. It would be a huge loss if he didn't charge you some interest."
A faint smile entered Qi Nuan's ears through her earlobe, and then the owner of the laughter came over to her face.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the elevator, so Qi Nuan came down one floor earlier and walked to the stairwell on the side.
After going upstairs, she didn't go in, but sat down on the steps.
She fanned herself with her hands to cool down and wait for the swelling on her lips to subside, unable to help but complain softly, "Will this daily interest payment ever end? I'd rather just cut my head off and put an end to it."
As she was muttering, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs. She hurriedly stood up and prepared to make way.
"Qi Nuan."
A familiar voice reached her ears, causing her to look up.
The man walking down the stairs from the upper floor smiled as warmly as ever: "Long time no see."
“…Lu Heng…”
Qi Nuan's body subconsciously froze, and he opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Just at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She remembered it without even looking. This was the exclusive ringtone that Lu Yin had personally set for her phone that day.
"I'm going to take a call."
Shaking his phone apologetically, Qi Nuan turned and walked into the stairwell on the inside.
"Five."
As usual, Lu Yin's low complaints entered his ears first.
Qi Nuan remembered that he had mentioned a rule of "answering the phone within three rings."
The aftershock of seeing her "old friend" had not yet passed, and she blurted out subconsciously: "Sorry."
As if he didn't expect this answer, Lu Yin on the opposite side was silent for a moment.
Just when Qi Nuan thought the signal was down in the stairwell, he suddenly asked, "Where are you?"
"Me? Office." She replied casually.
The other party was silent again.
Wait, there are pre-celebration activities this afternoon.
The senior executives of the Lu family will go to their respective branch companies to mobilize employees.
The floor above where Lu Heng just went is his e-commerce company.
Doesn't that mean Lu Yin is likely to come to their design company?
Thinking of this, Qi Nuan's intuition made her shudder: "No, I haven't reached the office yet. I'm in the stairwell now."
As soon as I finished speaking, the other party hung up the call.
Just a few seconds later, footsteps were heard from the inside of the corridor door, and Qi Nuan hurried to push the handle.
