☆, Chapter 138 Missing
"I thought you were so fast." Wen Mianyu ignored Zhang Ye and pulled Lu Congxu to sit on the sofa.
Lu Congxu put a hand on her back and said, "I know you're okay. Cheng An didn't take a shortcut later, otherwise it would have been even faster."
"I'm fine. Don't you understand me? A fool like Chen Yaoqing may be able to deal with the real Su Moli, but he is no match for me." Wen Mianyu smiled contemptuously, not taking Chen Yaoqing seriously at all.
"I heard that he brought six people with him." Lu Congxu frowned.
"Yeah, if I can't defeat him with my strength, I'll outsmart him." Wen Mianyu leaned on him, "Don't worry, I'll always find a way to protect myself first."
"I know." Lu Congxu nodded.
But how can I really not worry?
"I heard from Sister Hong that you went to see the old man?" Wen Mianyu asked.
"Yeah." Lu Congxu nodded.
"How did you alarm him? Didn't he scold you? You didn't even tell me you were in love, and you made such a fuss about it." Wen Mianyu laughed.
"I told him your true identity." Lu Congxu said.
"..." Wen Mianyu's laughter suddenly stopped, and she stared at him blankly, "You said that?"
"Yeah." Lu Congxu said.
"What did Grandpa say?" Wen Mianyu became more nervous than ever before. "Does he believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it?" Lu Congxu asked back.
"I..." Wen Mianyu didn't know what to say for a moment, "Such a bizarre thing, you said he believed it? He hasn't even seen me yet!"
"I would never lie to him about this kind of thing, and he trusts my judgment." Lu Congxu said confidently, just as confident as when he confessed to Mr. Lu before.
He has been an independent, steady, and opinionated person since he was a child. His thinking and personality are much more mature than his peers, which makes Mr. Lu treat him more like a friend than an elder.
The communication between the two of them always seemed like that between peers. It was difficult for Mr. Lu to listen to him, and he even relied on him more than his father.
Therefore, this thing may seem strange to others, but it is easy for Mr. Lu to believe it.
"He actually believed it..." Wen Mianyu still couldn't believe it.
"I believe it, and he told me to take you back for dinner when he has time, and he misses you too." Lu Congxu reached out and held her in his arms.
Wen Mianyu felt her nose sore and tears almost came out. She was so moved.
Since her grandfather's death, she only had Grandpa Lu as a trustworthy and kind elder. Before her rebirth, no matter how busy she was at work, she would always make time to visit Grandpa Lu at his house. However, after her rebirth, she was afraid of scaring Grandpa, so she never went there.
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since we last met.
She missed Grandpa Lu too.
Sometimes it is such a simple sentence that can really bring people to tears. It is a kind of warmth of family and affection.
"Does he know...about us?" Wen Mianyu sniffed and looked up at Lu Congxu.
Lu Congxu took a piece of paper from the side and wiped the corner of her eyes, "I know, I told you all at once."
"You..." Wen Mianyu was anxious, "Then what did he say?"
"He said..." Lu Congxu looked at her unusually nervous expression and deliberately stretched out his voice, "He said he was very happy that he finally had a granddaughter-in-law."
Wen Mianyu burst into laughter and punched Lu Congxu.
"Don't worry, he likes you very much, you know." Lu Congxu took her hand and held it in his palm.
"Who is worried? I'm not worried." Wen Mianyu said stubbornly.
"Yes, don't worry. The person who was staring at me just now wasn't you, it was..." Lu Congxu curled his lips, "a little wild cat that came from nowhere."
Wen Mianyu hit him again.
"Okay." Lu Congxu lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.
Wen Mianyu pointed to her cheek, "Here."
Lu Congxu kissed him.
"Here too." Wen Mianyu pointed to the other cheek.
Lu Congxu leaned over, his thin lips close to hers, and when he was about to touch her other cheek, Wen Mianyu suddenly turned her face to the side and touched her lips.
Their lips touched, and Lu Congxu put his arms around her shoulders and pressed her under him.
…
Chen Yaoqing’s incident can be said to be the top news in the circle.
For ordinary netizens outside the circle, celebrity gossip is big gossip, and the more popular the celebrity is, the more discussion they can arouse.
But for people in the entertainment industry, the boss is the most worthy of gossip when something happens to him.
The night Chen Yaoqing was arrested, a large number of people were mobilized. Several security guards nearby took videos and forwarded them to every extra group.
People who had worked with Chen Yaoqing in the past or had been persecuted by him were very keen on gossip, and all kinds of photos were flying around and circulated in one group after another.
By the next morning, almost everyone in the circle knew about this incident - Chen Yaoqing failed to stop the person and was arrested instead. He didn't gain any advantage at all, but was detained in the Municipal Bureau for a whole night.
And judging from the situation, there is a tendency for the detention to continue.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of actress with such a strong background had been offended to make someone of Chen Yaoqing's status suffer.
Soon everyone knew that it was because of Lu Congxu.
Su Moli had no idea how lucky she was, but she hooked up with the young master of the Lu family. This time when she was in trouble, the young master stood up for her and said that he would not allow Chen Yaoqing to be released on bail.
The Chen and Lu families have become estranged because of this incident. Chairman Chen is determined to protect his son, but Mr. Lu is a man of his words. As long as he doesn't give in, the Chen family will have no choice.
The whole incident caused a huge uproar, spreading from the entertainment circle to the business circle. Chen Yaoqing became completely famous, and several major families used him as a topic of conversation.
"Have you heard about the old Chen family? Chen Yaoqing has run into a tough opponent this time. I heard that Chairman Chen has even gone to the Nanfeng family. He's hoping some old man will come forward and plead for him."
At the chamber of commerce, everyone mentioned the Chen family and brought it up as a joke.
The Nanfeng family mentioned in the story quickly came out to refute the rumor, "I didn't look for my grandfather. He's been obsessed with fishing lately. He's been going around all over the island and the sea. I can't find him, so where can I find him?"
"What do you think made Mr. Lu so angry this time?" Another person was puzzled.
"What else could it be? It's for my grandson. I heard that Lu Congxu and the actress who was blocked are already discussing marriage." Someone who knew a little about the situation came forward to clear up the confusion for everyone.
Another person said, "What's the point of talking about marriage? I heard she's pregnant, and the prenatal checkup showed it was a boy. If it weren't for his grandson, the old man wouldn't have put so much effort into it."
…
At this time, on the other side, Wen Mianyu, who became the center of everyone's discussion, had just gotten up.
She and Lu Congxu had a little sex last night because of a kiss, which lasted a while, and it was already past two in the morning when they fell asleep.
I inevitably got up late this morning and woke up only when the sun hit my bed.
Lu Congxu actually woke up much earlier than her. When Wen Mianyu woke up, the remaining warmth on the other side of the bed had already cooled down.
Wen Mianyu made the bed and followed the smell of breakfast out of the bedroom. She saw Lu Congxu standing in front of the stove in the small kitchen, frying eggs.
The morning light shone through the window, turning his black hair brown, and the warm light sprinkled on his white shirt. The scene made people feel very warm.
Wen Mianyu unconsciously moved closer, came behind Lu Congxu, and reached out to hug him from behind.
I originally wanted to put my chin on Lu Congxu's shoulder and make a very intimate pose, just like in idol dramas.
But Wen Mianyu forgot that she was not as tall as Lu Congxu, so when hugged from behind, she could only rest her forehead on the other's shoulder.
"Are you up?" After the fried eggs were done, Lu Congxu turned off the fire and turned around.
Wen Mianyu let go of him, "Well, I woke up and saw that you were not around. You are so hardworking? You got up early in the morning to cook."
"I was worried you were hungry. You didn't eat anything after all the hard work last night." Lu Congxu said.
"It's quite tiring. After all the trouble outside, I have to be troubled by you again when I get home." Wen Mianyu raised his eyebrows.
“…” Lu Congxu.
A rare blush spread across the man's face. He pursed his lips and didn't continue.
Wen Mianyu laughed, "Why didn't you seem shy last night, but you're shy this morning? Are you shy? Right?"
As he spoke, he reached out and poked the man's cheek.
Lu Congxu turned away and pushed her out of the kitchen. "Go sit and wait. I'll be done soon."
Wen Mianyu laughed non-stop and was pushed to sit on a chair next to the small dining table.
Lu Congxu returned to the kitchen, took the fried eggs and sausages out of the pan, put them in the toast, and brought them out to the table.
Wen Mianyu put her hands on the table, looking at the breakfast which was not rich but very thoughtful, and felt very happy.
This is a different kind of happiness from the career she pursued in her previous life, peaceful and tranquil, and long-lasting.
"After breakfast, are you going back to the crew?" Wen Mianyu grabbed a sandwich, took a bite, and asked while chewing.
"No, I took a day off." Lu Congxu sat down next to her and handed her the peanut butter on the other side of the table.
"No, I'm fine with this way of eating, it's low in calories." Wen Mianyu declined, picked up the cup and took a sip of milk, leaving a circle of white foam on the corners of her lips.
Seeing this, Lu Congxu's eyes darkened, and he picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth. "Grandpa has been thinking about you ever since he found out about your identity. Let's go back to the old house and visit him later."
Wen Mianyu froze, "Huh?"
"What? Are you scared?" Lu Congxu asked.
"I'm not afraid, I just feel a little nervous." Wen Mianyu touched his nose and looked down at himself. "You think my current state...even grandpa would find it unbelievable, right?"
For many things, hearing about them is one thing, and experiencing them is another.
The old man trusted Lu Congxu and believed him when he heard him talk about rebirth, but when he really saw Wen Mianyu wearing Su Moli's skin, he would probably feel unable to adapt, right?
"It's okay, Grandpa is mentally prepared." Lu Congxu didn't think so.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu responded weakly.
An ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later. As the one who abducted the old man's grandson, she should meet the old man even if she did not have the identity of Wen Mianyu.
…
After dinner, Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu went to the mall together to buy some supplements, loaded the bags into the car, and headed to Lu's house.
In fact, the old man is not short of these things, and he has seen all kinds of good things. It’s just that Wen Mianyu feels that since it is his first visit with his current identity, he should bring some gifts to the old man.
When getting in the car, Lu Congxu's cell phone rang. He picked it up, took a look at it, frowned, pressed the mute button, and put the phone back.
"Why didn't you answer it?" Wen Mianyu felt that this was an unwelcome call, and was a little puzzled. Given Lu Congxu's personality, who could make him show such obvious disgust?
"It's Chen Yaoqing's father." Lu Congxu answered while starting the car.
"..." Wen Mianyu, "His father has come to you?"
"Grandpa doesn't want to listen to his constant pleading and has already rejected him. He doesn't dare to pester Grandpa, so he comes to me." Lu Congxu turned the steering wheel and drove on the road.
Wen Mianyu was speechless. "Chen Yaoqing did something like that, and Director Chen actually wanted to let his son go. It's no wonder Chen Yaoqing is so bold and doesn't take others seriously."
"This time, he can't let it go like usual." Lu Congxu's voice was deep and cold when he said this.
Wen Mianyu knew that he might be thinking about what happened last night again, so she quickly comforted him, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about them. Just drive carefully, and I'll take a look at everyone's complaints in the group."
Wen Mianyu seldom joined any group before her rebirth. She had a high status and many staff members around her. She didn't have to worry about any small matters as there were people to take care of them. Naturally, she didn't need to join any messy groups to get the news.
But after her rebirth, she started as an extra. For the sake of the role, she did not quit the group that Su Moli had joined before, nor did she quit the group that the crew created later.
Now, the focus of discussion in these groups is Chen Yaoqing.
Moreover, each of them claimed to know inside information. Some said that Chen Yaoqing had offended a powerful figure this time, some said that Chen Yaoqing's crime was aggravated because of offending someone, and some said that Chairman Chen was implicated and his business was suppressed.
In short, all kinds of rumors and gossip.
As far as Wen Mianyu knew, just one night was not enough time for any progress in the case. After all, Chen Yaoqing had seen the world and would not be scared into telling everything by a few words during interrogation, so the interrogation had not made much progress so far.
However, due to Mr. Lu's intervention, Chen Yaoqing was not allowed to come out that night. Chen Yaoqing waited and waited but did not get the privilege. I guess his psychological defenses would be broken, and he would probably say a lot at that time.
In addition to blocking Wen Mianyu this time, he had persecuted female celebrities in the past, and had also committed various acts of threats, intimidation, and rape. If he confessed everything, it would not be so simple.
…
Wen Mianyu fell asleep in the second half of the journey and woke up only when the car stopped at the old house.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Mr. Lu standing not far in front of the car. He was wearing a white Tang suit and practicing Tai Chi under a tree. He looked like a hermit in a paradise.
"Grandpa..." Wen Mianyu pushed open the car door and ran towards the old man.
Although I was very nervous when I came, when I actually saw the old man, all I was left with was the longing for him after not seeing him for so long.
Wen Mianyu pounced on Mr. Lu and gave him a big bear hug.
"Mianyu." Mr. Lu held her in his arms, smiling amiably, "You came quite quickly."
"Grandpa." Wen Mianyu let go of his hand, still a little incredulous. "Don't you think it's strange? Even though I've become like this, you can still recognize me at a glance?"
"No matter how many times you change your appearance, Mian Yu is still the same Mian Yu. I will never mistake your eyes and your expression." Old Master Lu looked at her with a smile. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world and look into people's hearts.
