Chapter 27 His Past
Watching Lu Yanzhi swinging handsomely, Zhou Qingti took out his cell phone to take a picture of him.
The calmness and elegance emanating from Lu Yanzhi's every gesture successfully attracted Zhou Qingti.
People like Lu Yanzhi are people she would never come into contact with normally, but now they appear in her life.
His undeniable nobleness made Zhou Qingti look at him involuntarily whenever he was around.
His appearance attracted all her attention, and Zhou Qingti felt that this was a very normal admiration for the strong.
After the three men decided on the rules of the game, a war between men began.
Zhou Qingti roughly knew what the professional terms they were talking about meant. Lu Yanzhi had briefly introduced them to him on the way here.
But her attention was not on this, but she thought the scenery of the stadium was very beautiful.
While riding in the golf cart to find the balls, she actually experienced some of the fun of golf.
Lu Yanzhi was afraid that she would be bored, so he asked her on the green if she wanted to try to hit the ball into the hole with a putter.
Zhou Qingti shook her head. She was not interested in sports in the first place, let alone this kind of sport that she had never been exposed to before.
"I'm not bored. Watching you play basketball is a pleasure." She was telling the truth. Watching handsome guys play basketball is a sport that is both pleasing to the eyes and purifying to the soul, and it is the most suitable for her.
Lu Yanzhi was successfully pleased by her words and swung more seriously.
After playing 18 holes, Lu Yanzhi narrowly defeated Mr. Ke by one stroke.
The setting sun hung in the distance. Mr. Ke smiled and said, "I was originally thinking of taking up Mr. Lu's dinner time, but since Mr. Lu is with his wife, I feel embarrassed to be a third wheel. I'd like to visit your company sometime to learn more. Would Mr. Lu be welcome?"
"You're welcome anytime."
The businessman speaks in a roundabout way.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Ke, the two originally planned to go home directly, but the stadium was very close to the Lu family's old house, so they simply went to the Lu family's old house for dinner.
The scenery in the old house garden is the most beautiful in this season. The lotus flowers and hydrangeas in the pond are in bloom.
Zhou Qingti and the old lady were admiring the flowers in the garden, while Lu Yanzhi and his father were discussing things in the study.
Lu Zheng was making tea and poured a cup for Lu Yanzhi: "Dried tangerine peel, very fragrant. Last time you gave it to your father-in-law."
Lu Yanzhi took it in silence. Lu Zheng had a lot to say to his son, but seeing his son's silence, he didn't know where to start.
After a long silence, Lu Zheng finally chose a safe topic to talk about: "Do you and Qingti plan to have children?"
"I don't plan to do it in the next few years."
"Your brother will be back in June next year. You can teach him some management skills then." Lu Zheng basically retreated to the second line, and Lu Yanzhi was in charge of the group's affairs.
He had underestimated Lu Yanzhi's thundering methods in the past, which is why he is now in such a passive position.
"Brother? You mean Lu Daozhi?" Lu Yanzhi pretended not to understand.
Lu Zheng was a little angry: "I'm talking to Lu Sifan!"
"He's not my brother."
Lu Zheng put the teacup down heavily, and the tea in the cup splashed out.
“No matter what, he is related to you by blood. You have accepted your Aunt Shen, so why can’t you accept him?”
Lu Yanzhi sneered: "Who said I accepted her? I just don't want to look at such a dirty thing any more."
Lu Zheng angrily knocked the teapot to the ground, and the scalding hot tea splashed onto Lu Yanzhi's trouser legs, and he could feel a few drops of heat through his trousers.
Lu Yanzhi didn't move, his tone even colder: "Isn't it? My mother was still in this house when they were with you."
Lu Yanzhi's biological mother was a gentle woman, a typical lady from a noble family. In Lu Yanzhi's impression, her mother had never been loud or mean to her, and even when she divorced Lu Zheng, she was gentle and kind.
At the same time, tears were streaming down my face.
Since Lu Yanzhi started junior high school, he had seen his mother crying many times in the middle of the night, but she always had a smile on her face during the day.
It was such a gentle woman who tried her best to run the family and maintain the superficial beauty during the ten years when her husband had an affair, all for her Yanzhi.
Finally, when Lu Yanzhi was eighteen years old, she was freed and went to Toronto alone.
Half a year later, Lu Zheng appeared with a woman and a boy in his teens.
Said it was his new mother and younger brother.
Lu Yanzhi made a fuss, but it was useless. From then on, the relationship between father and son reached freezing point.
After Lu Yanzhi joined the company, he used thundering means to buy back the company's shares and became the largest shareholder.
This was also the fundamental reason why he had no interest in love before.
The fake marriage with Zhou Qingti was because of my grandmother, not because of my father at all.
Lu Zheng smashed two more teacups and said, "Get out."
Lu Yanzhi was obedient this time and walked out.
…
In the garden pavilion, the pear wood chairs and the carved table of golden nanmu are antique.
Zhou Qingti and the old lady were resting over there.
Aunt Liu, who has worked in the old house for more than ten years, found the grandparents and grandchildren talking and laughing.
"Old lady, the father and son are arguing again. I heard that they seemed to be smashing things."
The smiles on their faces disappeared. The old lady seemed to be used to it. She calmly pulled Zhou Qingti back and said, "Go back and take a look."
Zhou Qingti was a little worried and quickened his pace.
Lu Yanzhi stood at the main entrance on the first floor and saw Zhou Qingti rushing towards him.
"What's wrong? Why are you walking so fast?"
He had a smile on his face, and didn't look like someone who had just had an argument with his father.
The old lady assisted: "I heard that you and your father had a quarrel, and she was worried about you."
Zhou Qingti saw his wet trouser legs, looked up at him and said, "Do you want to change your pants?"
Lu Yanzhi shook his head and took her hand: "It's okay, will you accompany me to see the flowers?"
Only in front of grandma can I hold her hand without restraint.
Old Mrs. Lu smiled as she watched the two people walking hand in hand into the garden. She didn't care about her son upstairs, who was even more stubborn than her, an old woman in her seventies.
After they walked away, Lu Yanzhi did not let go of her hand, and Zhou Qingti quietly let him hold it.
She had not been to the old house many times, but she could see that Lu Yanzhi and his father had a bad relationship.
She wasn't curious and didn't ask questions, but if he wanted to talk she would listen carefully.
Lu Yanzhi slowly opened his mouth and briefly talked about his father and mother.
Then he said, "If it weren't for me, my mother wouldn't have suffered so much for so many years. I feel so sorry for her. Sometimes I even feel that my existence is a mistake."
It was because of this apology that he didn't dare to contact her often, and he didn't dare to tell her about the marriage because it was fake.
It was the first time Zhou Qingti saw Lu Yanzhi look sad. He felt so lost and helpless.
Like a puppy caught in a rainstorm, she felt distressed and wanted to hug him, take him home and give him a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
But in the end, she just squeezed his palm to comfort him, "Don't think so. Your mother must think that it is because of you that she is strong enough to face all this. You are her concern and her salvation."
Lu Yanzhi hummed softly, "I'll take you to meet her if I have the chance. She's a very gentle person and will definitely like you."
Waiting for the day when you truly become my wife.
