Seeing him like this, Qiao Zhen resigned herself to her fate.
They're rich, how could they possibly recognize this kind of sign?
Although it's not hard to understand, you might not be able to find it if it's your first time at the supermarket.
Suddenly, she remembered when her family had just gone bankrupt, and she knew nothing about it back then.
At first, she had her father, but after he passed away, the burden of the family fell on her shoulders.
Her mother was sick, and her younger brother was still small. Just like Lu Zheng, it was her first time in a supermarket, and she didn't know how to navigate it. She wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly.
It wasn't until later, when I gradually figured out what the signs meant, that I understood their meaning.
"Is there something wrong with this sign? It doesn't give any directions, it just has big characters written on it."
Guided by Qiao Zhen, they arrived at the snack area. He looked up again to find the sign, saw the words on it, and was speechless.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen secretly smiled.
Yes, there were no signs, so they just let you wander around.
They arrived at the fresh produce section, and Lu Zheng quickly picked out a few pieces of meat that he thought looked alright.
Qiao Zhen glanced at it and then put it back.
Lu Zheng looked at her, puzzled, not understanding why she wanted to put it back.
"Look at the date." Lu Zheng leaned over and glanced at it; the date was clearly written as two days ago.
He was speechless, never expecting that the supermarket would still have meat from the previous two days.
Qiao Zhen looked at it carefully, picked out two pieces of meat, and then went to the vegetable section.
This time, Lu Zheng didn't try it himself; he gestured for Qiao Zhen to take a look.
Qiao Zhen didn't intend to let Lu Zheng choose. After looking at the dazzling array of vegetables and asking Lu Zheng's opinion, she picked out some fresh vegetables.
Seeing Qiao Zhen like this, Lu Zheng felt a mix of emotions.
At this moment, he deeply understood the hardships Qiao Zhen had endured over the years.
When he met her, she was a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger and had no idea how to pick out vegetables.
After picking out their vegetables, they returned to the snack section.
"Want some snacks?" He remembered that her schoolbag used to contain nothing but books and snacks.
"I'm not eating anymore." Qiao Zhen glanced at the snacks on the shelf, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
While Qiao Zhen was getting her things, Lu Zheng took a box of baby hiccup umbrellas.
Back home, Lu Zheng placed the groceries he had bought on the coffee table and then carried them to the kitchen.
Qiao Zhen was watching TV in the living room. After sending a message to Yan Simiao, she noticed the things on the coffee table.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she picked it up and glanced at it with some uncertainty.
After confirming it was that thing, she glanced at the kitchen with a complicated expression.
She was certain that this item wasn't on the coffee table when she first arrived, so Lu Zheng must have bought it at the supermarket.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen covered her face, feeling her cheeks burning.
Lu Zheng came out of the kitchen and saw Qiao Zhen sitting on the sofa, texting someone with a serious expression.
He glanced at the things on the coffee table, then turned and went back to the kitchen.
When it came time to eat, Qiao Zhen didn't know how to look at Lu Zheng. This guy really had no shame at all!
Seeing Qiao Zhen like this, Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips, and was in a great mood.
During the meal, Qiao Zhen realized that all the dishes were her favorites, only they were the ones she used to like.
"Want to try some?" Lu Zheng picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for her, and Qiao Zhen looked up at him.
She tasted it and found it to be quite good, similar to the taste of what her housekeeper used to make.
After tasting all the dishes, Qiao Zhen was successfully reminded of some memories.
During the meal, Qiao Zhen ate in silence, and Lu Zheng didn't say anything either, only occasionally putting food on her plate.
"You..." After dinner, Qiao Zhen sat on the sofa and looked at Lu Zheng, who was handling official business, with a hesitant expression.
"What?" Lu Zheng looked up from the computer and glanced at her.
"Have you studied my tastes?" Although it was a bit narcissistic, this was the only way to explain why all the dishes tonight were her favorites.
"Hmm." Lu Zheng answered her without looking up.
She hadn't expected Lu Zheng to admit it so readily, catching her completely off guard.
"Why?" She touched her fingers, somewhat puzzled.
Doesn't he hate her? Isn't he just deliberately getting together with her to get revenge on her?
Why bother researching these things?
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Lu Zheng put down his computer, leaned closer to Qiao Zhen, stared straight at her, and said, word by word.
These words stirred a ripple in Qiao Zhen's heart, a feeling that was both somewhat sad and yet somehow just how things should be.
She bit her lip and turned her head away, refusing Lu Zheng's approach.
"I'm going to take a shower now." With that, she quickly got up from the sofa and went back to her room.
She leaned against the door, her heart pounding, her eyes red.
Qiao Zhen, wake up! He's just using you to get revenge. Remember, he's the one who killed your father.
They're approaching you again with premeditation; they definitely want something from you!
Qiao Zhen thought to herself, feeling weak and listless, and walked towards the bathroom without even taking off her clothes, just standing there under the shower.
The cold water splashed on her head, and Qiao Zhen slowly calmed down, her gaze turning icy.
After Qiao Zhen left, Lu Zheng returned to his study from the living room.
"Mr. Lu, Shen's Group has received another injection of funds, but they still haven't found an investor." The assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Zheng stared at the Shen Group's stock, which was all red, his eyes filled with coldness.
The Shen family was almost finished, but they managed to escape again!
"Shall we continue?" The assistant hesitated for a moment when there was no response, then asked again.
"No need," Lu Zheng said in a deep voice, closing the Shen's stock page.
"Should we continue investigating the person behind him?"
When the name of the person behind the Shen family was mentioned, Lu Zheng's gaze turned somber. Thinking of Gu Xijue, who had previously interacted with Shen Yan, he shook his head and said, "No."
He roughly knew who was injecting funds into the Shen family business. To bring down the Shen family business, he had to start with that person.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng asked his assistant to investigate Gu Xijue's company.
The assistant paused, taken aback when he heard Gu Xijue's name. He couldn't understand why Lu Zheng wanted to investigate Gu Xijue; did he want to steal the Jazz project?
If that's the case, that would be wonderful!
He felt angry every time he saw Gu Xijue with Miss Qiao.
Of course, this is on behalf of President Lu.
The assistant, who was quite happy to receive the order for the first time, immediately went to investigate Gu Xijue, regardless of whether it was after get off work hours.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zheng looked at the computer screen with a mocking expression in his eyes.
He didn't think of Shen Yan and Gu Xijue.
That makes sense now.
He picked up his phone and dialed another number.
"How is he now?" His tall figure was reflected in the glass, along with the lights of countless homes outside.
"Still alive."
"Take it easy, he still has a use."
"Don't worry, I know what's important."
