Chapter 372 Friendly Reminder
When Lu Xingchen arrived at the restaurant where Chen Xiaolin had an appointment, Chen Xiaolin was already sitting there waiting. She looked at the time and walked over.
Chen Xiaolin smiled and said, "Don't look at the time. You are not late, I came early. And it's okay even if you are late. I understand busy people."
"You, a busy man, suddenly asked me to come for dinner. Is there something wrong?" Lu Xingchen sat down and put his work bag on the seat beside him.
"Do I need to be busy before I can have a meal with you?"
"That's not the case."
"Here, let's order." Chen Xiaolin handed her the menu.
Lu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, then took it without hesitation, ordered his own food, and returned the menu to her. Chen Xiaolin took it and said to the waiter beside her, "Just give me another one like hers."
"Okay." After the waiter helped her order, he confirmed the dishes again and left.
Chen Xiaolin took a sip of lemonade, looked at Lu Xingchen and said, "Did you have a fight with Li Zhen?"
"No."
"I haven't seen you guys come to work together for several days."
"Oh, the timing is wrong."
"Aren't you bothered by Feng Qianyu's matter?" Chen Xiaolin asked her unexpectedly and went straight to the point.
Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned, and said to Chen Xiaolin: "We really didn't quarrel."
"That's because of Feng Qianyu." Chen Xiaolin sighed, "I've also heard Zhou Shuheng and the veterans of Zhencheng say that Feng Qianyu is a domineering and arrogant rich girl. No matter how Li Zhen objected, she insisted on helping him promote Zhencheng. You know, the influence of the Feng family... It's undeniable that she did help Zhencheng gain a lot of connections, but Li Zhen really never got together with her."
Lu Xingchen said helplessly, "I know all this."
"So what do you mind?"
"I really don't mind."
"Xingchen, we can all see that Mr. Li really likes you, and for your sake, he seems to have been settling accounts and compensating the Feng family these days, hoping to cut off all ties with the Feng family from now on. Mr. Feng seems to be a little dissatisfied about this matter."
Lu Xingchen looked up in surprise. She didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and Li Zhen had never mentioned it to her. "What did you say?"
Chen Xiaolin looked at Lu Xingchen seriously, "I say, your Senior Brother Li really cares about you, so stop imagining it. Give him some time, and he will deal with Feng Qianyu, just like he dealt with Su Wanyi."
Lu Xingchen suddenly became alert and asked Chen Xiaolin, "Su Wanyi, what's wrong?"
Chen Xiaolin was surprised: "Don't you know yet?"
Lu Xingchen looked at her. Obviously, if she knew, she wouldn't ask her like that. Seeing that she didn't know, Chen Xiaolin's eyes suddenly flickered, and she said, "Nothing, I just want to tell you that Li Zhen will take care of Feng Qianyu."
"What happened to Su Wanyi?" Lu Xingchen asked again, obviously insisting on knowing the answer.
Chen Xiaolin hesitated for a long time, looked at her and said, "Su Wanyi is dead."
She thought about the worst possible scenario, but she didn't dare to think about this possibility, because Su Wanyi was the relative that Chu Zeyan was willing to protect at all costs. What would Chu Zeyan do if she died? This matter was also related to Li Zhen. What would Chu Zeyan do to Li Zhen?
Seeing her serious expression, Chen Xiaolin said, "I thought Li Zhen told you..."
"How did she die?"
"suicide."
The topic came to this point, and the waiter brought their dishes. The two of them stopped talking temporarily, and after everyone left, Chen Xiaolin continued.
"I also heard it from Andy. She probably heard it from other people in the Chu family. She said that when Su Wanyi was found, she had a white plastic bag on her head and died in the castle-like villa that Chu Zeyan arranged for her. Later, Chu Zeyan stayed in that room and didn't come out for several days."
Lu Xingchen felt dizzy for a moment. Li Zhen had never mentioned this to him. Was he afraid that she would worry that Chu Zeyan would do something?
Chen Xiaolin held her hand and said, "I think Li Zhen didn't tell you because he probably didn't want you to worry. But Xingchen, Li Zhen didn't hesitate to offend Chu Zeyan for you, and now it's the Feng family. As a member of the Lu family, you should know very well what the result will be if you offend these two families at the same time?"
It has to be said that everything Chen Xiaolin said and everything she did touched upon Lu Xingchen's most sensitive and fearful areas. She didn't want Li Zhen to be involved in the dispute between her and the Lu family, let alone the Chu family and the Feng family?
In particular, if the Chu and Feng families really would cause trouble for Li Zhen as Chen Xiaolin said, then with her current identity as Lu Xingchen, not only would she not be able to use the Lu family to support her, but it might even be possible for some people in the Lu family to take advantage of her misfortune.
Chen Xiaolin continued, "So, don't be angry with Li Zhen anymore. Last time, I accidentally heard him complaining to CEO Jiang outside the conference room. He said he really wanted to get married and his mother was urging him to get married, but you didn't agree. It's okay for him to stay married for another year or two, but he doesn't know how to explain it to his mother."
As she spoke, she reached out and held her hand and said, "Xingchen, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if a man is willing to do for me what Li Zhen did for you, I would be willing to die with him, not to mention marrying him."
Lu Xingchen looked at Chen Xiaolin's slender white hand covering the back of her hand for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at her earnest expression. To be honest, she did feel a little dizzy and wanted to find Li Zhen immediately to verify these things, but after all, impulse could not solve any problem.
"Thank you for telling me this. I will consider your words seriously."
Chen Xiaolin's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, and after a moment she finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief:
"If you can listen to me, then don't embarrass Li Zhen anymore. Not to mention him and his family, even we friends have been looking forward to your wedding. And my mother told you that after you give birth to the child, she will still take care of the child for you, just like she took care of you in the beginning."
After finishing dinner with Chen Xiaolin, Lu Xingchen kept thinking on the way home. When she got home, she took a shower and calmed down. She still wanted to ask Li Zhen, so she picked up her phone and called Li Zhen.
The phone rang several times but no one answered. Just when Lu Xingchen thought he was not next to the phone, the phone was picked up: "Hello?"
A woman's voice.
Lu Xingchen was slightly startled, and the other party continued: "Lu Xingchen, right? I'm Feng Qianyu. Li Zhen is not available to answer the phone now. Why don't you call back later?"
Lu Xingchen laughed softly, "I thought that since Miss Feng dared to come to my house and challenge me in person to compete fairly, she would not answer other people's calls without permission. It seems that I thought too much."
Feng Qianyu said indifferently: "It seems that you are not indifferent to my coming to you, but you have thought about me carefully."
Lu Xingchen did not deny it and said, "Well, I thought you would be a strong competitor, but now I see that you decided to answer Li Zhen's phone call. Are you trying to create misunderstandings for me? This kind of stalk that ordinary women usually use is so common in TV dramas that you're tired of it. If you want to impress Li Zhen, don't use it. He doesn't like such low-class women."
Feng Qianyu: "Whether you like it or not, you'll know after you use it. And you, don't you want to know where Li Zhen and I are now? Maybe, he's really taking a shower?"
After saying that, Feng Qianyu hung up the phone, and at the same time played an older joke, deleted the call record, and then put Li Zhen's phone back to its place.
