Chapter 210 A Respectful Marriage Agreement
Did the old man leave a will?
Appointed an heir.
Is it Han Zhan?
These three sentences kept swirling in An Yan's mind. By the time she realized what was going on and wanted to ask why, Shi Yin was already gone from the cafe. Han Zhan was only six years old when Old Han passed away. How could he have decided on an heir so early?
impossible.
Shi Yin must be talking nonsense!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that she looked unhappy, An Leyao leaned over and asked with concern: "Didn't you say you wanted to go to the counter to try on the new dress designed by Aro? I brought enough money this time, I can definitely buy it for you."
How could An Yan have the mood to try on a dress?
I feel like a ball of thread.
His eyes swept over to where Shi Yin had been sitting, and he was furious. This irresponsible woman not only fabricated the old man's will, but also brought up the slap from two years ago. Her arrogance was unbearable!
An Yan turned her head and glared coldly at her sister beside her, saying harshly, "Have you forgotten that Shi Yin hit you before? And you even moved your chair to make room for her. You're such a jerk!"
An Leyao pursed her lips and whispered, "Sister, isn't Shi Yin suffering from depression? I heard that she was so seriously ill that she moved to New Zealand for recuperation. It's quite pitiful that she got sick at such a young age."
"You pity her, who will pity you!"
An Yan suddenly stood up, took her bag and strode out of the cafe.
An Leyao quickly paid and chased after him. She didn't understand her sister's words. As the second daughter of the An family, she, An Leyao, had a comfortable life. How could she be pitiful? On the contrary, Shi Yin had been neglected by her father and mother since childhood, and was even called a disaster by people in her circle, which led to her suffering from mental stress disorder. She had targeted her in the past, which was really wrong. Sometimes, thinking about it at night, An Leyao couldn't sleep.
…
At night.
The accumulated snow bent the trees in Lu's yard.
Meng Xi had just left the hospital in the evening and had just entered the house. She poured herself a cup of warm ginger and jujube tea in the kitchen when she heard the sound of a car coming from the tree-lined avenue and saw Lu Cheng through the window.
She stopped immediately.
He didn't go to the living room anymore.
After waiting for about two minutes, Lu Cheng's angry back appeared at the end of the corridor. Only after he disappeared did Meng Xi start walking again and head towards the living room.
The house was heated to full blast and there was a fireplace in the living room, but in the atmosphere after the quarrel, it didn't seem very warm.
Meng Xi glanced at Lu Siyu, who was sitting on the sofa. His marriage certificate said he was forty, but no matter how many times she looked at it, she always thought he was in his early thirties. When she first saw him in the hospital, she thought he was Lu Cheng's brother.
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was both dignified and refined, but his expression was too cold, making him seem distant and distant. Furthermore, having been the head of a household at a young age and having held a high position for many years, he exuded an intimidating aura.
Meng Xi retracted his gaze and said, "Sorry, Mr. Lu."
Because of my existence, there is a gap between you and Lu Cheng.
Lu Siyu heard the unspoken words. He looked up at her and gestured to the single sofa chair across from her, inviting her to sit down. "Is your father okay?"
"There were some sudden symptoms today, but your professional team was on duty at the hospital and provided timely treatment. My dad is not in danger of death."
"Go to bed early."
"Okay." Meng Xi nodded, and then saw Lu Siyu put down the medical newspaper in his hand, stood up and left the living room. The man's footsteps gradually faded away, and the hall became completely quiet.
She looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window.
She couldn't help but recall this time two years ago, when Lu Cheng confessed his love to her on the street with a heart-shaped rose wreath. She stood awkwardly in the candlelit circle, bewilderedly watching the man kneeling on one knee. Passersby around her were urging her to accept him. She panicked at that moment, but to save his face, she nodded in agreement.
The crowd dispersed.
She explained to Lu Cheng seriously that they were just friends, friends who met through Shi Yin and Han Zhan. She had never had any romantic feelings for him.
She thinks she is very measured in what she says and does.
I don’t know what I did wrong that caused Lu Cheng to misunderstand me.
She apologized.
The other party was a little disappointed, but also generously accepted her refusal.
She thought the matter was over, but when Meng Xi returned home that night, she found Lu Cheng standing downstairs in her apartment building. It was snowing heavily, and he didn't even have an umbrella, just standing there.
Meng Xi only found out about this when the property management called. Without even having time to change her shoes, she hurriedly threw on a coat and ran downstairs. A crowd of homeowners looked at her, one after another, as if she were a heartless, cruel, and vicious person.
The ambulance is here.
Medical staff carried away Lu Cheng, who had fainted from the cold.
Meng Xi was pushed into the car by countless condemning eyes and taken to the hospital. She sat on the bench outside the ward door, watching from night until dawn. It wasn't until the next afternoon when Lu Siyu returned to Beijing, apologized to her, and sent someone to escort her away that Meng Xi walked out of the hospital gate in a daze.
Lu Cheng did not give up after that.
He often went to Shi's to give her love lunch boxes and 999 roses on holidays. The employees of the company envied her, and some even said she was a little ungrateful. She actually refused the handsome and rich Master Lu's pursuit of her.
She couldn't sleep at night during that time.
I couldn't sleep the whole night.
After learning that her father needed to go abroad for recuperation, she immediately applied for sick leave from the Human Resources Department and accompanied her father abroad. Even so, she still saw Lu Cheng in many places, such as the streets of Italy and the tree-lined avenues of villas.
He said, "Meng Xi, you are the first person I like, and I don't want to give up just like that."
In desperation, Meng Xi asked the deputy director of the design department for a favor and played her boyfriend. She thought this would stop Lu Cheng's idea, but it made things worse.
The deputy director was injured.
Lu Cheng called.
No one knew how terrified Meng Xi was when she was caught in the middle trying to stop the fight, and no one knew how guilty she felt when facing the injured deputy director. She even blamed herself. If she had agreed to Lu Cheng's confession and become his girlfriend, would so many things have not happened?
Whether it was her family background or her position of power in the capital, she was no match for Lu Cheng. She seemed to have lost the right to choose. For several sleepless nights, Meng Xi pondered whether to ask Shi Yin for help, and she had edited the text message several times but had yet to send it.
The second young lady is recuperating.
How could she let her personal affairs bother her?
actually.
Lu Cheng was really nice in the past.
Generous and righteous.
Protective and enthusiastic.
Meng Xi didn't understand why he had become like this. Only after being entangled with him for so long did she understand that, having been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the sole heir to the Lu family, and having a widower father who pampered him, arrogance and paranoia had long been ingrained in him. This was the only failure he had experienced in his first half of life, and it was at her, Meng Xi. His desire to win and his sense of possession wouldn't allow him to give up.
He is a perfect friend.
But he is not a qualified suitor.
Finally, at the end of last year, Meng Xi broke free from the forced pursuit relationship. A son's failure to educate his parents is the fault of his father, and out of a sense of obligation, Lu Siyu gave her this respectful marriage agreement.
