Chapter 206 Let's Remarry
I see.
"Then why did you say you had no way before?"
"Because our relationship has been so painful, I want to eat some sweetness."
Lu Jiunian looked at the doctor beside him and took the band-aid the doctor handed him before leaving.
I bent down and gently tore open the adhesive packaging.
Shi Nianzhi suddenly lifted Lu Jiunian's chin with her hand, "What you call eating candy is making me support you and cook for me at home? Can I tell you the truth, the food you cook is really like poison."
Shi Nianzhi really didn't know what Lu Jiunian was thinking. Perhaps since Lu Jiunian went mad, he couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
Lu Jiunian lowered his head and gently kissed Shi Nianzhi's fingertips, then used his chin to push Shi Nianzhi's fingers away.
He carefully applied a band-aid to Shi Nianzhi's wound.
After he finished putting on the band-aids, he said, "Don't you think this is wonderful? I can be with you 24 hours a day."
"If I hadn't asked you to come to the company to help me, you could have stayed home all day. Tell me, what were you doing?"
Lu Jiunian seemed a little embarrassed, "I missed you."
I miss you, grandpa.
Shi Nianzhi mercilessly exposed her, "You drink tea, play games, watch dramas, and shop! Do you think I don't know you've recently become obsessed with unpacking packages? Can you please stop buying all those weird things for the house? Last time you spent 80,000 yuan of my money to buy some air, I really admire you!"
Lu Jiunian said innocently, "Who knew there were fakes on Taobao? He said he was selling the sixth Calabash Brother, so I bought it. I thought that since it was so expensive, it couldn't be fake."
"Then he sent you an empty message saying the Calabash Brothers went invisible and ran away!"
"Didn't I apply for a refund? The money has already been refunded."
"You still think you're so great?!"
Lu Jiunian lowered his head. "Why are you being so fierce? I knew I shouldn't have told you."
Shi Nianzhi: "..."
Does not telling him mean it never happened?!
Shi Nianzhi reached out and pressed Lu Jiunian's head, turning it from side to side. "I seriously doubt whether you're really better or not. Are there any aftereffects? Like intellectual decline, intermittent intellectual decrease, mental retardation, brain damage, huh?!"
Lu Jiunian's face darkened, and he reached out to slap Shi Nianzhi's hand away.
"No."
He stood up, bent down, and picked Shi Nianzhi up again.
"You got angry after I said a few words to you? Now you have the nerve to be angry with me? Why are you hugging me? Put me down, I can walk."
"Your legs are so weak you can fall down even while running, you should probably give up."
"Lu Jiunian!"
"what?"
"Are you doing this on purpose? You dare laugh at me about this? Believe me, I'll never speak to you again..."
Before Shi Nianzhi could finish speaking, Lu Jiunian leaned down and kissed him on the lips, silencing him.
Lu Jiunian was really afraid that Shi Nianzhi would say she wouldn't work with him anymore, which would be too painful for him.
So he changed the subject, "Are you coming again tonight?"
"I'm in this state, how can I concentrate? Let's talk about it after my leg injury heals."
"Actually, you can let me do it, so you don't have to move and won't touch the wound."
Don't even think about it!
......
Lu Bing was restless all night and eventually went to the prison to visit Gu Zichu.
He sat down in front of Gu Zichu, looking haggard. "Do you think he really has a will? I feel like a joke. Everything I've worked so hard for, Lu Jiunian can just snap his fingers and take back. Just like how I tried so hard to get the Lu family to acknowledge me, but Lu Jiunian was born to be recognized by the Lu family."
Looking at Lu Bing like this, Gu Zichu felt a pang of heartache for no reason.
He reached out his handcuffed hands.
Lu Bing leaned her face closer.
Gu Zichu gently stroked Lu Bing's reddened eyes with his thumb. "He may not have left a will. Maybe he just wanted to create a hot topic to suppress the trending search for the building quality issue."
"No."
Lu Bing looked at Gu Zichu, who shook his head. "I think he does."
"If he had a will, why would he hold the shareholders' meeting on Saturday instead of tomorrow? And hasn't his madness been cured? If he had a will, he would have done it already, right?"
Gu Zichu frowned slightly. In fact, Lu Jiunian was indeed a man whose thoughts were hard to fathom. Gu Zichu knew this when he was with him under the identity of Gu Zijian.
He spent time with Lu Jiunian, but he never truly understood Lu Jiunian.
If there is anyone in this world who can truly understand Lu Jiunian, it can only be Shi Nianzhi.
Lu Bing held Gu Zichu's hand tightly.
His voice trembled slightly, "You don't know how composed someone can be who is willing to drive himself crazy in order to salvage a relationship. He said he has a will, and I think it's true. The reason he hasn't returned yet is very simple: he just wants to spend more time with Gu Zijian and make him happy."
Lu Bing paused and then said, "It was my fault, Zi Chu, I shouldn't have hurt Gu Zijian. That's Lu Jiunian's Achilles' heel. I touched his Achilles' heel, and that's when he started to end this game."
Lu Bing laughed out loud, her voice so bleak and pathetic, "Yes, you see, what I fought so hard for was nothing more than a game controlled by Lu Jiunian. I was like a puppet on strings, Lu Jiunian put me on the chessboard, and I ran desperately thinking I had escaped my fate. The ridiculous thing is that Lu Jiunian sat in his chair, watching me run desperately on his chessboard like an ant, but I could never escape the trap he set."
Gu Zichu touched Lu Bing's face and nodded, "Yes, I understand that feeling."
"Isn't that pathetic?"
"Yes, it's quite pathetic."
Compared to Lu Bing, Gu Zichu appeared much calmer, because he had already experienced the gains and losses that Lu Bing had gone through.
He failed and is now in prison.
His fate was so similar to theirs; the two men in the darkness clung to each other for warmth, their hands tightly intertwined, trying to give each other their pitiful little bit of warmth even though they were both cold.
"Don't be afraid, Lu Bing, don't be afraid—"
Gu Zichu leaned close to Lu Bing's ear and whispered through the iron bars, "Anyway, we all took things from others. If we can't win, we'll just give them back. Take it easy. Like you advised me, life is long, there are plenty of opportunities to start over. At that time, we won't be associated with any family or surname; we'll just be ourselves."
Lu Bing finally calmed down. He looked at Gu Zichu, and after a long while, he softly said, "Okay."
Looking into Gu Zichu's smiling eyes.
The fear and immense weight that had been weighing on Lu Bing's heart suddenly vanished, as if he had just escaped death and then suddenly come back to life.
Only then did he take a closer look at Gu Zichu, who was wearing prison clothes, had a buzz cut, and was looking at him with tender eyes.
"Once you get out, let's go back to how things were before."
Gu Zichu touched his face. "I'm not getting plastic surgery anymore. It carries a lot of risks. Anyway, you can tell the difference, right? I'm different from him; our eyes are different."
"Yes, I can tell you two apart. I've been able to tell you apart from the very beginning."
"Now that I have a light scar on my face, it's easier to tell the difference."
Their conversation became less heavy, and the two had a heart-to-heart talk.
Saturday.
Lu Jiunian had his lawyer read his will, and the Lu Group's shares were reshuffled. Lu Jiunian now held 62% of the shares, giving him absolute control over the Lu Group.
Lu Bing, with the 10% that Nianzhi gave him, plus the 5% inherited from the estate, totaling 15%, is also a major shareholder of the Lu family.
The remaining shares are held by other shareholders.
Faced with the new inheritance agreement, Lu Bing finally signed it calmly, unusually without making a scene.
Then, after stepping down as CEO of the Lu Group, he suddenly approached Lu Jiunian and sold all his shares to him.
He then disappeared with 5 billion yuan, leaving no trace and completely severing ties with the Lu family.
Lu Jiunian has been extremely busy lately. He is reshuffling the Lu Group's senior management and, having just returned, needs to deliver results to convince the public. Therefore, he is working long hours.
Shi Nianzhi deleted the recording from the voice recorder. Actually, the scene was too chaotic that day, and the recording was very messy, so it was impossible to hear the key points.
In the morning, we have breakfast together.
Shi Nianzhi adopted a haughty attitude, demanding, "Give me back my money!"
Lu Jiunian took a bite of his sandwich. "Are you short of money, darling?"
"Stop playing dumb! My 10 billion US dollars, half of my Gu family's empire, pay me back!"
Lu Jiunian elegantly finished the last bite of his sandwich, then transformed into a shrewd businessman. "Baby, Lu Bing took 5 billion with her when she left. I have no money now."
Shi Nianzhi slammed his fist on the table. “Don’t play dumb with me. Can 5 billion RMB be compared to 10 billion USD? And did he run off with the money? He sold you shares.”
Lu Jiunian shrugged, "Since you've said that, I guess I'll just have to say I have no money."
"What did you say?"
"I really don't have any money. My company is in complete chaos right now. To keep everyone in line, I've taken risks and invested in several big projects. I was thinking of borrowing some from you."
Lu Jiunian, dressed in a suit and tie, sat opposite Shi Nianzhi, looking like he had no money.
Shi Nianzhi stared at him, finding his words suspicious and unbelievable.
However, she still said, "When do you plan to return it to me? I'm waiting to fill this hole before leaving Gu's. I haven't been able to attend classes properly. I was expelled after donating a library to the school."
"I know."
Lu Jiunian looked helpless, as if to say, "I understand you, but I really don't have any money."
Shi Nianzhi looked coldly at Lu Jiunian, "Do you believe I can make you pack your bags and get out of here today!"
Lu Jiunian then seemed to be scared and said, "Baby, how about this? I've thought of a solution. This solution can solve both the problem of repaying the money and your problem of not wanting to go to the company. It's a win-win situation. I will definitely not let you suffer any losses or be fooled."
Shi Nianzhi rested her chin on her hand and said, "Go on."
Lu Jiunian paused for a moment before saying, "Let's remarry."
