After returning from Yanjing, Chen Zihan had another long talk with Lu Ruorong.
He still expressed that he was unwilling to get involved too much in the Lu family's internal disputes, and he also hoped that Lu Ruorong would not get involved.
He told Lu Ruorong that he still wanted to be a simple student and he didn't want to be involved in so many disputes while in school.
Lu Ruorong said she understood what Chen Zihan meant, and she said she was not interested in getting involved in these disputes.
The reason why she came to Qiantang to study was to stay away from the control of her family, try not to get involved in those messy things, and make her life simpler.
In fact, she was unwilling to do anything Lu Qinglan asked her to do, such as managing the assets.
If it wasn't Chen Zihan, she would definitely find a way to refuse.
She was also not very willing to see Chen Zi Han get deeply involved in Lu Qinglan's affairs. She was afraid that Chen Zi Han would be too deeply involved and would have no way to withdraw when the time came.
"I will find the right balance!" Chen Zihan replied to Lu Ruorong.
After Lu Liansheng's birthday celebration, Lu Qinglan stayed in Qiantang most of the time.
She told Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong that the joint venture between her and Li Fuzhen would soon start construction and would be put into production within the year, so she would focus most of her energy on this matter.
Chen Zihan and Lu Ruorong believed what she said.
But Chen Zi Han soon discovered that Lu Qinglan was not only busy with these things, but was also doing some things that could not be seen in public.
One day when the peach blossoms by the West Lake were about to fade, Luo Xiaofei asked Chen Zihan to go for a walk by the West Lake.
During this period, Chen Zihan and Luo Xiaofei did not date frequently.
Luo Xiaofei had a lot of things to do, and she had to maintain her academic excellence, so she didn't stick with Chen Zihan as often as before. The two of them only met every few days.
The two of them haven't strolled by the West Lake for a long time.
Luo Xiaofei sent him a message, saying that they should go for a walk by the West Lake together in the evening. Chen Zihan did not doubt it too much and even joked with Luo Xiaofei, saying that she finally learned romance again and was no longer busy taking care of Huakang Company's affairs all day.
However, when he met Luo Xiaofei, Chen Zihan found that her mood was a little abnormal.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zihan held Luo Xiaofei's hand and asked softly, "What happened?"
Luo Xiaofei glanced at Chen Zihan twice, and finally asked quietly, "Are you planning to choose Lu Ruorong?"
Luo Xiaofei's words gave Chen Zihan an ominous premonition.
"What happened?" he asked in a low voice.
Luo Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, but still told Chen Zihan what happened: "Yesterday, a man named Lu Qinglan came to see me!"
Chen Zihan's expression suddenly changed: "What did she say to you?"
Luo Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head, unwilling to say more.
"Did she threaten you?"
"You can guess it even if I don't tell you!" Luo Xiaofei smiled bitterly and immediately asked Chen Zihan not to ask Lu Qinglan for confirmation because she was afraid of that woman.
Chen Zi Han didn't know what to say for a moment.
Luo Xiaofei reached out and hugged Chen Zihan, choking a little as she said, "While you were dating me, you always maintained a close relationship with Lu Ruorong?"
"What exactly did Lu Qinglan say to you?" Chen Zihan raised his voice slightly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!" Luo Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, let go of the hand holding Chen Zihan, and walked forward.
When Chen Zihan asked her again, she just smiled bitterly and said that there was actually nothing much to say, and everyone could guess it.
She also once again asked Chen Zihan not to confront Lu Qinglan.
"When did you become so fussy?" Chen Zihan looked at Luo Xiaofei angrily. "Just tell the truth. Don't be like those heroines in TV dramas who hesitate when faced with something!"
Luo Xiaofei stared at Chen Zihan in a daze. After a while, she said softly, "If Lu Qinglan takes revenge on me, can you protect me?"
Chen Zihan's expression changed instantly.
Luo Xiaofei continued, "Between Lu Ruorong and me, who would you choose? Can you give me an answer now?"
Chen Zihan's expression changed again.
Luo Xiaofei smiled bitterly again. "You can't resist Lu Qinglan. She wants to retaliate against me, and you can't protect me. Between me and Lu Ruorong, you won't be so determined to choose me. So, what's the point of me telling you this?"
"I'll go find Lu Qinglan later!" Chen Zihan was a little angry and embarrassed. "This woman is too much!"
Luo Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "She invested in Huakang Company and has already received 50 million."
Chen Zihan looked at Luo Xiaofei in surprise: "Have you reached an agreement with her?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!" Luo Xiaofei smiled strangely again. "Anyway, we're not old enough to get married, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"No one knows who we'll be walking down the aisle with when we're ready to get married." Luo Xiaofei and Chen Zihan stood face to face, their smiles becoming slightly more natural. "Time changes everything. Who knows how we'll be doing in a year? Who knows who'll be with whom again in a few years?"
Chen Zihan looked at Luo Xiaofei quietly for a while, and finally nodded: "It's good that you have figured it out!"
"Okay, let's go back!" Luo Xiaofei smiled again: "I still have things to deal with tonight!"
Chen Zihan stared at Luo Xiaofei blankly for a while, and finally nodded.
The two of them didn't say anything as they walked back towards the school.
This has never happened since the two of them met.
After reaching the bottom of Huakang Company, Luo Xiaofei stopped and said softly to Chen Zihan, "Don't go up there. Go and take care of your own business!"
"Okay!" Chen Zihan took a step back and nodded to Luo Xiaofei, "Go to bed early!"
Luo Xiaofei nodded and walked into the office building.
While waiting for the elevator, she raised her head and looked at the ceiling, tears slowly flowing out.
"I knew you wouldn't treat me as the only one and wouldn't do anything for me!" After muttering this, she wiped her eyes.
Just then the elevator arrived and there was no one else inside. She walked into the elevator and leaned against the wall.
"Why do you want so much?" She continued to mutter to herself, "Why did you flirt with other women after I accepted you? Are you really that good?"
After the elevator reached the floor she wanted, Luo Xiaofei wiped her eyes again, and her heart suddenly became firm.
"Humph, I can't lose what I want so easily. Anyway, I still have plenty of time to waste and plan!"
"Lü Qinglan, I've already guessed that you also like Chen Zihan and want to drive all of us away from him one by one, so that Chen Zihan and Lü Ruorong can turn against each other and reap the benefits. If you are really that shameless, don't blame me!"
