Volume 1, Chapter 16 Hold on to me, let’s go home!
"No, I forgot about it a long time ago."
More than three years later, Ye Shiyan heard the familiar voice again, and long-forgotten memories came to his mind.
He and she both applied to Shanghai City Theatre Academy, but the difference was that Chen Mengxue majored in directing.
And he is on the path to becoming a star.
As far as I can remember, Chen Mengxue refused invitations to play the leading female role more than once. She is someone who could make a living with her looks, but she chose to be a director. She is talented but sincere.
"That's good, otherwise if the old love rekindles one day, I will be jealous!"
Cai Qianqian leaned into his arms and said in a tender voice, "You know, I hate it most when someone steals my things, especially when someone steals my men!"
The phone was on speakerphone, and the voices of the chat in the private room reached Chen Mengxue's ears clearly.
"Manager Chen, don't go too far!"
"Haha?" Manager Chen didn't take it seriously at all. "You're wrong to say that. You've been working at Jiu Meiyu for so long, I've taken care of you, right? Now the customer wants a refund and a complaint, what can I do?"
Chen Mengxue took a deep breath and said coldly: "What do you want? You tell me!"
"Don't look so bitter and resentful. I even helped you appease the guests. You don't know how to repay a favor."
hehe! Be grateful and repay kindness?
Chen Jingyi, I'll remember this favor.
"How about this, I see that it's not easy for you either, so I'll return the 12,000 yuan I paid you, leaving you some money to live on, so that you don't accuse me of killing you."
"What if I don't pay it back?"
Ye Shiyan frowned slightly. He did do something wrong to her at the time, but his feelings for her were also real.
He couldn't bully Chen Mengxue like this.
"That's enough. This matter ends here."
Cai Qianqian's body visibly stiffened, and she looked up at him: "What do you mean? We've been apart for so long, and you still want to protect her? What's so good about her?"
She said, "Is he rich? Or is he helpful to your career? Or is he better than me in bed?"
"I've said enough!" Ye Shiyan raised his voice by several decibels.
"Not enough! I just can't stand seeing you being so infatuated. You're like a dog licker. You didn't even hold my hand in the first place!"
Cai Qianqian used her hands to force herself out of his arms.
He said coldly: "Men are cheap. They don't cherish what they get, but they always treasure what they can't get!"
She turned around, looked at Chen Jingyi and ordered: "Make her pay the money, I want her to live on the streets!"
Cai Qianqian stared at Ye Shiyan again: "If you dare to interfere, I will expose your secrets to the media! Your financial future will be ruined!"
"Don't push me. If I'm pushed too far, I can do anything!"
"Mad!" Ye Shiyan scolded in a low voice, but did not say anything else.
Chen Jingyi picked up the phone and said into the microphone: "No, do you think that Boss Jiu Meiyu can open such a big beauty salon without some backstage?"
"Or, I don't dare to mess with you?"
She threatened openly: "I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If you transfer the money back, you'll be fine. If you don't, I believe you'll be very upset."
Chen Mengxue gritted her teeth, she knew very well that it was Cai Qianqian who was behind all this.
Of course, she also heard Ye Shiyan's voice, but she was just selectively deaf.
"I'll still do it!" The voice came out from between her teeth.
Next second.
Chen Mengxue could only borrow the money again.
This time, her heart was ice cold.
In winter, the cold wind blew across her neck, as if it was numb.
No matter how she resisted, the cold still penetrated her cotton coat, making her feel bone-chilled.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, I dragged my tired body out of the restaurant where I worked part-time.
After hesitating for a long time, he still clicked on Lu Chenyu's WeChat.
At this point, he might be asleep.
A person walks on the quiet street.
A few dim street lights flickered, and dead leaves were floating on the bluestone sidewalk.
Chen Mengxue plucked up her courage and typed a few words: Are you asleep?
After waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement on the WeChat interface.
Sure enough, he fell asleep.
Where should she go to spend the night tonight?
On this park bench?
Or a small shop open 24 hours a day?
Or maybe...
Just as she was daydreaming, the phone rang in the quiet night.
"Where?"
Chen Mengxue's eyes suddenly became moist. She was always strong, but at this moment she felt extremely weak.
His magnetic voice exudes a strange warmth:
"Listen, find someplace warm. I'll come find you now."
The next moment.
The phone was hung up.
Chen Mengxue didn't say a word.
He came to see her? Does he know where she is? Just hung up the phone?
Shengmeiyuan is a residential community built under the name of a construction company under Dongyu Group.
Yesterday, Lu Chenyu asked Lu Tingxuan to arrange accommodation.
When he got Chen Mengxue's information, Lu Chenyu's heart trembled violently.
This woman, who apparently had a bright and positive appearance, had gone through numerous hardships.
Fortunately, she met him, and everything will be fine.
He put on his clothes quickly and put on a cashmere coat.
After thinking for a while, he took a thick coat and hung it on his arm, picked up his crutches and walked out of the room.
Mr. Lu’s private driver team takes turns on duty 24 hours a day.
Sitting on a park bench, Chen Mengxue still sent him a message: Your legs and feet are inconvenient, how about I come to find you?
Lu Chenyu: I’m already out.
So fast? Just three minutes passed from the time I hung up the phone to the time she sent the message.
It's hard to get a taxi this late at night.
Chen Mengxue: Did you drive out?
Lu Chenyu: Can I chat with you while driving?
Chen Mengxue's mind was stuck for a moment. That's right, she quickly sent the address.
Ten minutes later, a Mercedes-Benz stopped by the roadside, and the driver asked, "President, please sit down. I'll go find my wife."
"No, don't reveal your identity. I'll go."
After getting out of the car, Lu Chenyu frowned as he felt the cold wind. Why was this woman still outside in such a cold day?
He was leaning on a cane in one hand and holding clothes in the other.
When I saw her, her little face was blue from the cold and her lips were bruised purple.
"Do you work part-time until so late every day?"
As he spoke, he handed over a coat and draped it over her slender shoulders.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I..."
I refused to live with him yesterday, and today I am homeless.
On second thought, we have obtained the marriage certificate and are a legal couple, so we should live together.
She was no longer embarrassed: "I want to stay at your house for one night. I'll find a job tomorrow and move in..."
Lu Chenyu stopped and looked at her with a sudden cold face.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"You still want to wander around outside?"
Chen Mengxue was stunned. Yes, a woman has no home whether she is married or not.
Like duckweed in the wind, drifting everywhere.
"Mr. Lu, I..."
"There's no one else at home. There are plenty of empty rooms. You can stay wherever you want."
"oh!"
This man was so cold, but she felt the warmth from his words.
It is the warmth of home.
"Hold me, let's go home."
