Chapter 465 Are you sure you didn’t recognize the wrong person?
That being said, since you have accepted the order, you still have to have some professional ethics.
Duanrao took great pains to dig out the relevant plot with Lu's younger brother, wanting to see how Lu Chengzhang's love-brain brain would reduce his intelligence.
[According to the description in the original plot, Lu Chengzhang and Xi Yanjia were...online lovers?! ]
Du Yuxi was also surprised. Are young people nowadays so fashionable? They always fall in love online.
[Oh, not only are they in an online relationship, they are also in a premature relationship. ]
It's not quite accurate to say that it was a puppy love. The two did know each other in high school, but they were just playing a game together online at the time. In order to be able to download more copies, they just found someone in the game and formed a relationship with them, and they happened to be bound to each other.
But games are games, and reality is reality, and the two people at that time could still tell the difference between them.
Therefore, their relationship really warmed up when Lu Chengzhang was a sophomore. At that time, the head of the Lu family, Lu Chengzhang's father, failed in business, and the company's capital chain was broken and on the verge of bankruptcy.
In an instant, the situation at home changed drastically. Those rich young men who used to fawn on Lu Chengzhang changed their faces one by one. It was good enough for them to avoid him as much as possible. Some even turned around and added insult to injury and stepped on him.
This was a huge blow to Young Master Lu, who had been used to being the center of attention since childhood and had hardly suffered much. He even had some self-destructive and self-loathing thoughts.
These emotions reached a peak after his father died of depression due to overwork.
If he had been more motivated and taken over, and his father had retired earlier, perhaps this incident would not have happened, their company would not have fallen into financial trouble due to wrong decisions, his father would not have died in depression due to guilt and inability to accept the reality, and his sister would not have run around to save the company, begging for help and suffering humiliation.
Lu Chengzhang, who suffered a huge blow, even had thoughts of committing suicide. But it was at this time that the netizen who was originally just an acquaintance of his, unexpectedly became the rope that pulled him back from adversity and despair. On the countless nights when he wanted to commit suicide, the netizen silently stayed by his side, and supported him through the most difficult time of his life.
When Duan Rao saw this, his head was full of black question marks.
Xi Yanjia, accompanied the young master whose self-esteem was frustrated through the most difficult period of his life, and thus became the indelible white moonlight in his heart?
That black-hearted person who never does anything without profit, who always puts calculation first in everything she does, and who wants everything and is self-righteous, turns out to be such a kind-hearted person in private, who always acts as a confidant big sister to misguided teenagers?
[Sao Nian, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? ]
When Du Anrao said this, Du Yuxi instinctively shuddered. Just say that online dating is unreliable! Why do so many people like to test the law?
Lu Jiarou had no idea of Du Anrao's inner thoughts. Seeing Du Anrao calling out her brother's name when they first met, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"Ahem... I don't know him, I'm just guessing."
Lu Jiarou: “…” What kind of random guess can get someone’s name exactly right? Do you think I’m a fool?
Fortunately, the atmosphere did not remain tense for too long. Xie Jingyao was the first to break the silence and reminded everyone: "It's getting late. Let's order the food first and talk while we eat."
Xie Jingyao took the initiative to push the menu to Duan Rao and the other sister. "Before we came, we ordered some of the more special dishes of this restaurant. Please take a look and see if there is anything you want to eat. You can always add more. The serving speed here is relatively fast, so you won't have to wait too long."
After his interruption, the few of them didn't continue the previous topic.
As the dishes they ordered earlier were served one after another, Duanrao took the initiative to talk about business, mainly because she was a little curious about how far the relationship between this chief backup and Xi Yanjia had developed.
"I only heard a general idea about Mr. Lu before I came here. I vaguely heard that he was worried because he fell in love and his temperament changed drastically. But what is the specific situation? Could you please help explain it to me, Miss Lu?"
Although Lu Jiarou had her doubts, her concern for her brother prevailed. She sighed and said, "It's almost what you said. My brother was a very filial and sensible child. He usually listened to me and my dad. I don't know what happened, but after he started dating, he changed completely. He became unreasonable and unacceptable. He is simply unreasonable!"
In fact, Lu Jiarou was not very opposed to her brother's love affair at first. She even felt relieved that her own pig finally learned to eat other people's cabbages.
However, as time went on, Lu Jiarou gradually felt something was wrong.
"At first, he just smiled foolishly while holding his phone from time to time, looking like he was in love. I can understand that young people are a little intoxicated when they fall in love for the first time and find it difficult to control themselves. Besides, my brother is not young anymore. It's okay for him to have a relationship with someone he likes. But later, I felt something was not right..."
Lu Jiarou had been in love before, so she knew what it was like for a person to be in love. She could also see that something was very wrong with her brother.
"That woman doesn't often ask my brother out, but every time she does, she always asks him for help. She either asks him to introduce her to a cooperative company or asks him to help invest in a project she's interested in..."
No matter how you look at it, it seems like she's treating her brother like a cash machine, not only getting something for nothing, but she's probably even calling her brother a fool behind his back.
Lu Jiarou paused, feeling helpless towards her brother: "My brother may act silly but he can still separate his work and personal feelings..."
"Are you sure? Has he ever been in a relationship before?"
Lu Jiarou choked. Her brother had never been in a relationship before? Could it be that her brother was the type who would do stupid things once he was in a relationship?
Realizing this, Lu Jiarou, who was born with a career mindset, felt like the sky was falling!
Duan Rao didn't expect that this casual retort would upset the other person. He coughed lightly and continued the previous topic: "So how is he mixing work and personal feelings now?"
Lu Jiarou managed to regain her sanity after hearing this and said seriously, "It's obvious at a glance that the projects that woman asked him to invest in are all rubbish projects with no prospects, and the partners she introduced to my brother are even more..."
Lu Jiarou's expression was hard to describe, and even mixed with a bit of resentment and anger: "It's not that I look down on people, but don't blame me for being harsh. With their diplomas and abilities, they can't even get into our company on weekdays, but now they're all stuffed around my brother. Isn't this treating my brother like a garbage toll booth?"
