Chapter 42 Are you kidding me?

When I called immediately, the line was busy.

Six years ago, when Lu Chenzhou went abroad, she personally saw him off at the airport. At that time, he said that he had signed a confidentiality agreement with the foreign side, and that during the time he was abroad, he would have less contact with her because he was busy with projects.

But in fact, it didn't become less, but the two of them almost lost contact.

Not long after he left, her mother and father were involved in a car accident. All the family assets were handed over to her uncle for safekeeping, but her uncle's family treated her harshly. During the most difficult period, she called him for help.

But it wasn't him who answered the phone.

The other party told him in English that Lu Chenzhou was currently conducting experiments in a completely closed manner and hoped that the outside world would not disturb him.

Because of what he said, she never called him again to influence him.

Only during festivals would the two send each other blessing messages.

Seeing her hurriedly making a phone call and then putting the phone aside in disappointment, Wen Chuyue saw that her face looked a little ugly and asked worriedly:

"Ah Jin, what's wrong?"

Jin Yu pursed her lips and looked out the window, "It's busy over there."

She could sense that she was disappointed, so Wen Chuyue comforted her, "It's okay, Jin. Maybe he just happened to have a call right now. Call again later, and he'll definitely get through."

After saying this, Wen Chuyue originally wanted to gossip a little more. After all, judging from the situation, Jin Yu seemed to care a lot about this man named Chen Zhou, and she had just said that this was a very good brother of hers.

Calling a man who is not your biological brother "brother".

This relationship is definitely not simple!

But unfortunately, the yellow orange just happened to arrive.

Since someone was coming, Wen Chuyue didn't ask any more questions.

When Jin Yu and Huang Chengzi were chatting about work, she thought about it and sent a message to Gu Feng, "I have a feeling that the young master is going to have a love rival."

When Gu Feng received Wen Chuyue's message, he was about to send the document to Meng Jinyan. As he read it over and over again and confirmed it over and over again, he held his breath.

A love rival has appeared, how can this be tolerated!

He glanced at the president's office and couldn't help but think, could it be that Meng Jinyan treated everyone with eyes that were not eyes and noses that were not noses today because he knew that he had a strong rival in love?

Just as he was thinking about this, an impatient and irritable male voice came from the CEO's office, "Gu Feng, what are you taking so long for!"

Hearing this, Gu Fengxin shuddered.

He responded loudly, trembling, "Here it comes!"

After saying that, he walked and ran into the office.

In the coffee shop on the other side, after Jin Yu and Huang Chengzi confirmed all the plans for going back to work tomorrow, she and Wen Chuyue did not stay here for long. They adjusted the hem of their skirts and prepared to leave.

However, just as she was about to pay and leave, Wen Chuyue hurriedly grabbed her. The little girl raised her chin and pointed at the teahouse opposite, and asked hurriedly:

"Ah Jin, aren't you waiting for your brother to come out?"

Jin Yu glanced at the teahouse across from him, smiling faintly, "No need to wait. He didn't come to me the first time he returned home. Maybe he has other things to do. When he's done, he'll come to me naturally."

Hearing her tone, Wen Chuyue looked surprised.

"Ah Jin, aren't you angry with him?"

Jin Yu asked back, "Why should I be angry with him?"

Their eyes met, and her almond-shaped eyes were clear, which made Wen Chuyue stutter, "He...he didn't even tell you that he came back. It's been so long since you called him, and he didn't even call back."

Hearing this, Jin Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "That's it?"

Wen Chuyue was a little confused, "Isn't this enough?"

She put herself in Jin Yu's shoes and thought that if the other party dared to ignore her like this, she would definitely break off relations with him.

But she didn't expect Jin Yu to say, "No matter how old I am now, I have known him for many years. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what mistakes I made, he was always there to cover for me. The relationship between us is not the kind that requires us to report everything to each other, nor does it mean that I will get angry with him if he doesn't answer my calls. His job is special and many things need to be kept confidential. He didn't take the initiative to contact me, which means that he hasn't finished his work yet."

After she said this, Wen Chuyue felt very nervous.

Such understanding of each other, such tolerance.

The friendship between these two people that has grown from childhood to adulthood is truly not simple!

Then, she thought of her own arrogant and stubborn eldest master. Suddenly, she was struck by lightning and felt very bad. Her eldest master's love rival was really powerful!

Today, Jin Yu finished all the things she wanted to do when she went out. Knowing that Lu Chenzhou had returned to China, she even bought a bouquet of flowers when she saw someone selling flowers on the roadside in a good mood.

When people are in a good mood, they smile more often.

When she returned to the manor, the maid who was cleaning the hall saw her holding flowers and praised her, "Madam, these flowers make you look even more beautiful!"

When Jinyu is in a good mood, she will give a flower to anyone who compliments her.

By the end, she had only three yellow roses left.

This evening, she still dined alone.

I waited until almost ten o'clock, but Meng Jinyan still didn't come back.

Being bored, she started drawing today's comic strip.

Meng Jinyan did not leave the group until ten o'clock. If Gu Feng had not reminded him several times, he might still be working overtime.

As the car drove into the manor, he propped up his chin and asked casually, "What did the bodyguard report to you today?"

Gu Feng, who was concentrating on driving, froze on the steering wheel when he heard this. Although he had no idea what Meng Jinyan was thinking, he still reported everything.

"The bodyguards who were secretly sent to protect the young lady said that today the young lady first went to the hospital to see her grandmother and brother, and then consulted the doctor about her grandmother's surgery. Then she took Chu Yue to have dinner. After dinner, the two went to the Jinggu Teahouse, but the young lady didn't know the rules of the teahouse. When she wanted to go in, she was stopped outside. Later, the two went to the coffee shop opposite the teahouse. Halfway through, the young lady's colleague came to see her. After that, the two chatted about work for a while, and then the young lady returned to the manor."

Meng Jinyan remained expressionless as he listened to the report that read like a running account.

Finally, when the car stopped at the gate of the manor, Gu Feng thought he could finally get rid of the depressing atmosphere in the car, the man in the back seat asked again: "How does she look?"

Gu Feng unbuckled his seat belt tremblingly.

His forehead was sweating for no apparent reason. He recalled the bodyguard's report in the evening and stuttered, "The young lady seems to be in a good mood."

As he finished speaking, the man in the back row's expression turned colder and darker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second, he opened the car door roughly.

In a trance, Gu Feng heard him say with gritted teeth:

"Heartless thing!"

Hearing this, Gu Feng's eyes widened suddenly.

What is a young lady?

Hey, how could the young lady be a thing?

Isn't the young lady a thing?

Well, that's even more impossible. The young lady is so gentle and kind, how could she be a piece of shit!

But is it a thing or not? Gu Feng, sitting in the driver's seat, was troubled by the word "thing" for a long time.

In the bedroom upstairs, Jin Yu was completing the last part of the comic, which was to rate his mood for today.

Five stars is the best, one star is the worst.

After learning that her grandmother's surgery had a much higher success rate and that Lu Chenzhou had returned to China, she felt very happy now. So, she drew a five-star mark on the tablet without hesitation.

So much so that when Meng Jinyan pushed open the bedroom door, she smiled brightly and greeted him, "You're back."

Hearing her cheerful voice, the gloomy expression on Meng Jinyan's face sank, and the anger that had not yet been released intensified. He didn't even look at her and went into the bathroom.

During the night talk last night, he could only sleep on the floor. From his point of view, she was just disliking him. If it was because he didn't sleep well, he could change his bad habits. But she never mentioned this solution and only gave him the choice between the sofa and sleeping on the floor.

Because of this, he was in a bad mood all day, but as for her, she was like nothing happened in the past day.

Not only that, she also laughed so happily without any care in the world.

He even began to doubt whether she really liked him.

After Meng Jinyan rushed into the bathroom angrily, Jin Yu blinked and was in a daze for several seconds before reacting slowly.

Oh, he seems still angry.

Just as she was thinking about how to apologize to him, her eyes inadvertently swept across the only three yellow roses left in the vase.

She pursed her lips and thought quietly.

When she sees beautiful things, her mood will unconsciously improve. So should he?

So, when Meng Jinyan just came out of the bathroom, two yellow roses were pushed in front of him. The roses exuded a light and elegant fragrance, which mixed with the bath fragrance on his body, adding a bit of ambiguity.

He stared coldly at the woman in front of him with a flattering look on her face.

"What?"

Jin Yu ignored his indifference and continued to push the flowers forward. "Does your mood improve after seeing these two roses?"

The flowers in front of him and her words made him see through her thoughts. When he looked up at her watery almond eyes, he saw the uneasiness in her eyes. Sensing this, he deliberately asked in a tough voice:

"Are you kidding me?"
