Volume 1 Chapter 4 If it's too expensive, I can't afford to rent yours.
“Miss Shen, we meet again.”
The man's magnetic voice was deep and melodious, like beautiful piano music playing in the ears.
"Ah!" Chen Mengxue walked with her head down, thinking about how to deal with her mother's urging to get married!
Suddenly, I almost bumped into the man.
"You, why are you here?"
The man looked at her leisurely: "How is it, surprise? My savior!"
A rare tenderness appeared on his icy face. If one has never experienced life and death, one would never understand that kind of despair.
The joy of having a new life made him secretly feel grateful to the girl.
Chen Mengxue raised her face slightly. He was so tall, and he looked like a noble young man standing there. There seemed to be stars flowing in the depths of his amber eyes, which made people unable to help but be deeply attracted to him.
"How's your leg?"
"I'm recovering quite well, look!" He then forcibly took away the crutches and exerted force with one foot.
"Ha~" Chen Mengxue smiled softly. He didn't look funny, but he felt very funny.
"You're not waiting here for me, are you?" She went over and held onto his strong, thin arm.
Lu Chenyu's body became stiff for a moment, and recovered after a few seconds.
He hated physical contact with strange women the most. Any socialite or rich girl who tried to get close to him would be coldly scolded by him.
If you keep pestering me, just throw me out!
Therefore, the socialites in Haicheng's upper class society loved and hated him when they saw him.
"Well, I came here today to ask you, does what you said that day still count?"
A small hillock formed between Chen Mengxue's slightly pale brows: "What are you talking about?"
"do you have a boyfriend?"
She paused slightly, lowered her head, and Shen Mengxue's pretty face turned slightly red.
“No, no.”
In her situation, how could she have the mind to have a boyfriend?
But her mother kept pressing her, wishing she could marry her off immediately, to a family she thought was a good one, to alleviate the urgent need.
An idea suddenly occurred to me: Isn't this ready-made?
She knew nothing about the man beside her except that he was handsome. She tried to ask:
"What's your job?"
Lu Chenyu was stumped and responded casually: "Director, Marketing Director."
"Marketing Director? Not bad."
Chen Mengxue tried to negotiate: "Can I ask you for a favor?"
If she had a tall and handsome boyfriend like this and brought him home, she would be able to shut up her friends and relatives, right?
"Tell me what favor you want, as long as it's something I can do." Lu Chenyu seemed a little colder, and it turned out that he had a purpose in approaching him.
People like him are surrounded by people who are either after his social connections or his money.
There is no such thing as pure friendship.
He has seen through it all over the years.
"Can you please pretend to be my boyfriend and deal with my family? Don't worry, I will pay." She said this with a pleading look in her beautiful eyes.
"I don't know how much it costs to rent a boyfriend for a day, but based on the market price, is two hundred a day okay?"
"If it's too expensive, I can't afford it."
My tense body relaxed in an instant, and I felt a little nervous.
Yes, this girl looks like an ordinary person living at the bottom of society, how could she know his identity?
It was she who dared to hire Dongyu Group as its executive CEO with a daily salary of 200 yuan.
She didn't know how much money he could earn just by chatting with her for a while, right?
Lu Chenyu stopped and smiled, and for the first time there was warmth in his smile.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had laughed so innocently.
Chen Mengxue saw that he was smiling like a spring breeze, and although it was very beautiful, she still asked nervously: "Is it okay?"
Next second.
She lowered her head again. How could such a tall, handsome man with a good job not have a girlfriend!
I am being a little too demanding.
“When will I start work?”
"What?"
Chen Mengxue immediately let go of her arm, “For the days I go home, forget about it at other times, I can’t afford to support you.”
Lu Chenyu leaned on a cane with one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. He smiled coolly like his brother:
"I'll support you!"
For some reason, he liked to see her embarrassed and shy.
This girl is quite beautiful!
"No, this is my only request. If you can agree to it, I will be very satisfied."
For some reason, a hint of sadness flashed across the depths of her cold eyes, so cold that it made people feel distressed!
As she helped him cross the street, Shen Mengxue's phone rang.
Seeing the incoming call number, she frowned slightly, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Silly girl, now I'm so impatient to call you?"
Mother Shen’s slightly dissatisfied voice came from the phone.
"No, Mom, it's okay. I'm hanging up now. I have to rush to work."
"Wait a minute, I'll come back tomorrow. The eldest son of the Wang family next door has returned to China. He doesn't mind our family situation and specifically wants to go on a blind date with you. You'd better seize the opportunity. How much money can you make working in the city? He is a returned overseas Chinese. I heard that he opened a restaurant abroad. When you get married, you will be the boss's wife."
Shen Mengxue was extremely embarrassed, and Mother Shen’s roar could be heard through the screen.
"Mom, I've already told you, I have a boyfriend, I'll bring him back after the New Year..." She glanced secretly at the man next to her.
Fortunately, he didn't have any special reaction.
"A boyfriend in the city? How come you don't understand what people are saying? How can you, a worker like you, have a good boyfriend? Are you a worker too?"
Chen Mengxue was a little embarrassed, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Lu Chenyu nodded without comment.
"Mom, what's wrong with the part-time worker? You haven't even met him, how can you conclude that he is not good enough?"
"Anyway, I don't agree. You can take the earliest bus back tomorrow. I've already talked to your Aunt Wang. She even gave your dad 200 Euros!"
"You silly girl, do you know what the current exchange rate is? This is equivalent to half of your monthly salary!"
Chen Mengxue shrugged, "Mom, can you please stop worrying about my affairs..."
"You are my daughter, if I don't worry about you, who will? I worked so hard to raise you, is it easy for me?"
As he spoke, faint crying sounds could clearly be heard.
Her mother is like that. She will cry and make a fuss if she disobeys her in the slightest.
"Okay, okay, I'll take a day off tomorrow and come back. As for whether you like it or not, we'll talk about it later."
The eldest son of the Wang family? After hanging up the phone, Chen Mengxue fell into memories.
The one who's studying to be a chef in the city?
Haha, I saw it often when I was a child, but well, it was not her type anyway.
She was always silent on the road afterwards.
Lu Chenyu: "Can I go back with you tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, I took the initiative to propose this. You don't have to pay me."
Chen Mengxue: "My home is in the countryside, will you be uncomfortable..."
Lu Chenyu raised his thin lips slightly: "My family is also in the countryside, and my parents raise a lot of poultry and livestock! But we basically eat them ourselves."
The Lu family's Tanshan Villa is one of the top ten luxury homes in the entire Haicheng.
It is backed by the entire Tanshan Mountain, built on the mountain, magnificent, facing the Shenjiang River, and has beautiful scenery!
But it is indeed the countryside.
As for the two brothers, they live in the Repulse Bay Villa all year round.
If nothing else, I'll be urged to get married when I go home.
