Chapter 221 It’s All My Fault
Lu Cheng came over at this time.
I don't know where I got a thick coat from, and handed it to Meng Xi. She took it, spread it out, and carefully put it on Shi Yin: "Second Miss, the weather is cold, your home clothes are too thin, you will catch a cold."
Shi Yin nodded: "I was in such a hurry when I went out that I forgot to take my clothes."
"Change your shoes too?" Lu Cheng said.
Hearing this.
Shi Yin lowered her head.
Look at your feet that are together.
Her slippers had long been soaked by the snow, soaking through to her trouser legs. She reached out expressionlessly to brush the stains off her shoes, but couldn't get them off, so she stood up.
"I'll ask the servants at Beishan Villa to bring the new shoes." Lu Cheng said, giving the servants behind him a look, "Take Shiyin to the bathroom to change shoes. Wear something thicker."
Shi Yin followed the servant for a few steps.
Suddenly it stopped again.
She tilted her head to look at Meng Xi and said, "You will stay in the ward to watch over Uncle Han for me. If anything happens, press the alarm bell at the bedside."
"OK."
"Please take good care of Uncle Han, otherwise I won't be able to explain to him when Han Zhan comes back."
Meng Xi choked for a moment before agreeing with her and saying "OK".
Watching the woman walk away and disappear behind the bathroom door, Meng Xi took a long time to look away. She turned to Lu Cheng and asked, "The Lu family has received the news of Mr. Han's plane crash. As Mr. Han's wife and a direct relative listed in the household registration book, hasn't anyone informed the second young lady yet?"
"Someone from the embassy in Dubai should have contacted her first."
"Then what about the Second Miss——"
Before Meng Xi finished speaking, the door of the ward opened from the outside. Seeing Assistant Yan coming in, Lu Cheng frowned: "Didn't you go to New Zealand with A Zhan to handle the handover? Why did you return to Beijing? Why is A Zhan at the Dubai airport again?"
"My husband received a call from a German project partner the day before yesterday and booked a flight from New Zealand to Munich. Since there are no direct flights, he had to transfer in Dubai."
"What are you going to Germany for?"
"I need to ask you this question." Assistant Yan said.
Look at each other for a moment.
Lu Cheng was in a daze for a few seconds, and couldn't help but recall that last year, Shine Group and the German side had discussed a cross-border cooperation project. He did not follow up on the details personally, and just perfunctorily signed a few contracts and hastily concluded the matter.
What was he doing at that time?
He is chasing Meng Xi.
He sent the florist to Shi's company to deliver 999 roses every day, and even went to Shi's annual meeting to give out gold beans to those who wished him and Meng Xi a long and happy life.
so.
When Ah Zhan went abroad this time, he only needed to hand over his work in New Zealand and then return to Beijing smoothly. However, due to his previous negligence, Ah Zhan added an extra trip to Germany.
If hearing the news of Han Zhan's death at Yunshan Cemetery was like a bolt from the blue to Lu Cheng, and he couldn't bear to accept it, then at this moment, when he learned the reason why Han Zhan went to Germany, Lu Cheng's last line of defense completely collapsed.
His steps were unsteady.
He took several steps back.
His heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, squeezing it tighter and tighter, causing his muscles to twitch in pain. The moment he raised his eyes, a few traces of red blood appeared in his moist eyes.
Two years ago, he frequently visited Uncle Meng in the hospital, bringing supplements and soups. At that time, the housekeeper said that Meng Xi had no romantic feelings for him.
Lu Siyu also said that if she didn't want to drink the soup he sent her, she shouldn't force it. During the two years that Ah Zhan was abroad, he had repeatedly and indirectly advised him not to be so stubborn.
He didn't listen.
Still stubborn.
Because Meng Xi was the first person besides his aunt to peel an orange for him. She was so gentle, better than any other girl he had ever met.
His aunt doesn't love him.
Meng Xi can't do it.
He wanted Meng Xi to be by his side, year after year, and see him every moment. So he persevered in pursuing her in his own way, hoping that one day she would be moved and accept his advances.
She didn't agree.
Instead, she turned around and married Lu Siyu, becoming his nominal stepmother, cutting off all his thoughts. Lu Cheng hated her for a long time, from the wedding last year to today, a full hundred days and nights.
He felt that she would regret it.
Lu Siyu is just a cold and old-fashioned man who doesn't understand romance and has no human feelings. Apart from his work, he manages the Lu family's business. How can he, who has received a modern education and read a lot of romance books, be liked by girls?
He is waiting.
Wait until Meng Xi and Lu Siyu divorce.
As long as they divorce, he still has a chance.
now.
Lu Cheng just felt that he was ridiculous.
His legs gave out, and he kept falling backwards, collapsing heavily against the solid wall behind him. He slid down little by little, crouching in the corner, as if he had lost all his strength, unable to stand or sit still.
A Zhan believed him.
The position of president of Beijing Shine Group was given to him as acting president.
What did he do?
Not only did they fail to do their job properly, but they also created so many loopholes that Ah Zhan had to go to Germany in person to contact the other party's person in charge despite his busy schedule.
If he hadn't been such a jerk in the past two years, and had been more clear-headed and devoted all the time he spent on pestering Meng Xi to work, there would be no omissions, Ah Zhan would not have gone to Munich, Germany, and would not have transited in Dubai, and he would not have been on the list of victims of Flight 4095.
He is his childhood friend.
The only playmate.
Over the years, when he was wronged by his aunt's strict discipline and had nowhere to go, A Zhan would immediately buy him a plane ticket and pat his chest and say to him: "Come to Country M, your brother has made a name for himself here, come and I will protect you."
"I will never go back to inherit the Lu family business in this lifetime."
“I’ll never study medicine.”
"Don't let Auntie and Lu Siyu get what they want."
“But what if I can’t achieve success in business?”
“…”
"Then I will protect you forever!"
"Just focus on reading your romance novels. I'll take care of the rest."
The image of Han Zhan's face and his clear voice echoed in Lu Cheng's mind. The man collapsed to the ground, lowered his head, and slapped himself.
When Shi Yin changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, she heard the loud slap.
She looked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing Lu Cheng slapping himself, she quickly strode forward. Before Shi Yin could speak, she saw Lu Cheng raise his head, with his scarlet eyes wet with tears, and kneel down at her feet. "Shi Yin, it's me who hurt Ah Zhan. I made him transfer from New Zealand to Germany and suffer this plane crash. I'm sorry for him, and even more sorry for you!"
