Chapter 80 was merely using her.
When Shen Qianyu came out, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't believe his eyes.
Shen Qianyu thought he still wouldn't be able to wait for her to come out this time, and he was even prepared to wait here for at least a few hours.
He had already thought it through. It didn't matter if he failed this time. He would wait a little longer for all the things she had endured for him. As long as he was sincere, Shen Qianyu would definitely be moved.
But when Shen Qianyu came out, the injuries on her face had not yet healed, and she could not tell what emotions she was having. However, Lu Xiuyuan could sense that Shen Qianyu was different.
I've had this feeling before, but it's becoming more and more obvious now.
It seems that they have become strangers to each other in just half a month, the kind of strangers who are extremely unfamiliar with each other.
"Weren't we going to eat? Where are we going?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Qianyu took the initiative to speak.
Lu Xiuyuan remembered something: "I'll take you to the hospital first."
He reached out to pull her closer, but Shen Qianyu instinctively dodged and opened his car door herself, getting in.
The movements were incredibly smooth from beginning to end.
There was absolutely no need for him.
Lu Xiuyuan felt terrible, but he accepted it.
Compared to what Shen Qianyu had received before, he truly deserved to be treated this way.
Shen Qianyu sat in the back. Lu Xiuyuan had driven here himself today, and he would occasionally glance at Shen Qianyu through the rearview mirror.
Shen Qianyu did not react; she quietly looked out the window.
They really have known each other since childhood. Shen Qianyu was very quiet back then, but she doesn't seem like this now; there's a hint of unfamiliarity.
Lu Xiuyuan instinctively gripped the steering wheel and asked, "Are you busy tonight?"
Shen Qianyu could tell that the direction outside led to the hospital, so she said, "No need to go to the hospital. The ointment that President Fu found for me is quite good. Let's just go eat."
Lu Xiuyuan felt distressed.
Before, when did Shen Qianyu always talk about other men?
It seemed that, without his notice, Shen Qianyu and Fu Yanci were getting closer and closer.
"Okay, you don't have to go to the hospital. Let's go eat."
They went to a vegetarian restaurant. Shen Qianyu still had injuries on her face, so it wasn't suitable for her to eat meat or fish.
Moreover, Lu Xiuyuan's purpose in inviting Shen Qianyu to dinner was not that; he simply wanted to see Shen Qianyu.
Upon arrival, a waiter presented the gift that Lu Xiuyuan had prepared in advance.
Lu Xiuyuan pushed the gift in front of Shen Qianyu; it was an exquisite box.
"Qianyu, I'm sorry. I know you can't accept any apology I say. I don't know how things turned out this way, but I want to try to make amends."
I don't know if I'll have another chance, but if I don't do it, I'll definitely regret it.
Shen Qianyu picked it up, opened it, and found it to be a very beautiful crystal bracelet.
Shen Qianyu has always loved crystals, all kinds of crystals. Lu Xiuyuan knew this and had bought her a lot of crystal jewelry before.
"Thanks."
Shen Qianyu's answer was very well organized.
He closed the box, placed it on the table, and said nothing about whether he accepted it or not, leaving Lu Xiuyuan quite puzzled.
Lu Xiuyuan had never been so nervous speaking in front of Shen Qianyu before. In his memory, it was always Shen Qianyu who was cautious, but now it was him.
The food arrived, and Shen Qianyu was eating, but it was clear that the moment she opened her mouth, her face showed a pained expression.
Lu Xiuyuan felt as if something had ripped his heart out.
That video is still playing in his head, especially the scene of Shen Qianyu being dragged over by several bodyguards, completely unable to resist.
Chen Shirui slapped her hard across the face, so viciously, so cruelly.
Shen Qianyu must have been in despair at that moment, wanting to ask for help but having no way to do so.
She would never have rebelled against his mother if she hadn't been forced into a corner.
"Qianyu, I..."
Before Lu Xiuyuan could finish speaking, Shen Qianyu put down her chopsticks.
"Apologize again? You've said it so many times already. If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"
Lu Xiuyuan understood, of course, that if Fu Yanci hadn't helped Shen Qianyu obtain the video, Shen Qianyu would be unjustly imprisoned right now.
The thought that he was the one who sent her to prison made him feel a bone-deep pain.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. Is the food at this restaurant any good?"
"fine."
Shen Qianyu picked up her chopsticks again and began to eat and drink as usual.
She has learned that she no longer needs to mistreat herself for anyone.
But Lu Xiuyuan couldn't eat it.
He was very hungry, but thinking about everything Shen Qianyu had suffered, he had no appetite at all.
"Qianyu, you don't need to worry about the Lu family's affairs. I will handle it. From today onwards, I will pay more attention to you. However, there is something I want to tell you."
Shen Qianyu didn't speak, but it meant that he could speak.
“If you don’t want to stay at the Lu family’s old house, that’s fine. I can arrange for you to stay in another villa, but you’d better keep your distance from Fu Yanci.”
Before Shen Qianyu could speak, Lu Xiuyuan quickly said:
“I know you’ve received a lot of favors from him before. You can leave this to me; I’ll help you repay those favors.”
Shen Qianyu put down her chopsticks again: "Young Master, there's no need for that. I'm quite fine staying with him. I think I have the right to make my own decisions."
If Shen Qianyu hadn't said those words, Lu Xiuyuan would have really thought she was too indifferent, so indifferent that it made him feel uneasy.
"I think..."
Lu Xiuyuan was about to speak when he noticed the look Shen Qianyu was giving him.
Lu Xiuyuan quickly changed his mind: "Okay, you can stay wherever you want, but can you promise me one thing? That is, if I want to see you, you have to come out to see me anytime."
Chiyu, I can't bear not seeing you.
In the past, Shen Qianyu would have been so excited that she couldn't sleep for days. But now, in order to prevent Lu Xiuyuan from knowing about her plan to leave and to make him give up as soon as possible, she agreed.
Lu Xiuyuan was still very excited. The fact that Shen Qianyu agreed proved that there was still room for negotiation between them.
He needs to try his best to get their relationship back to normal.
Lu Xiuyuan and Shen Qianyu had no idea that Lin Weixia was watching from a short distance away.
When Lin Weixia saw that Lu Xiuyuan was about to get off work, she called him to ask how he was doing.
Lu Xiuyuan said that it would definitely be affected to some extent for the time being, but things would get better soon.
Lin Weixia was less worried and asked him if he wanted to have dinner together that night. Lu Xiuyuan said he had a business dinner that night.
That's hilarious.
Is Shen Qianyu just a social obligation?
She stood there for a long time and noticed that the tenderness in Lu Xiuyuan's eyes when he saw Shen Qianyu was something he had never seen in her before.
Lu Xiuyuan had completely fooled her; she wouldn't let them get away with it.
