Chapter 364 Rejection Phenomenon
Lu Xingchen received a call from Lu Yize. He sounded listless, so she guessed that he was in trouble. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, I think I'm crazy. I felt like I had let it go, but I went to find Shen Mingzhen again, and then I was so angry that my liver hurt."
"what happened?"
Lu Yize really had no one to talk to. The key point was that he never thought that he was so loyal and he was still clinging to Shen Mingzhen. So, he told Lu Xingchen about Zhu Jiarui coming to see him.
Then he asked Lu Xingchen: "Do you think she likes me?"
Lu Xingchen really couldn't answer, "Just listening to Zhu Jiarui's words, I really can't tell. After all, I haven't even seen her get along with you. But if she likes you, why did she insist on rejecting you?"
"Isn't it because of my brother? She said..." Lu Yize really couldn't tell Lu Xingchen that Shen Mingzhen said she had slept with his brother, and that was after his brother got married. "I suddenly felt it was boring."
Because if Shen Mingzhen really intended to be with him, she would not have explained the matter between her and his brother so thoroughly and decisively, so she probably really didn't like him.
"Zhu Jiarui probably lied to me and said she liked me just to get me to help her sister."
Lu Xingchen still didn't quite understand, "Did something happen to Shen Mingzhen? I met her for work some time ago, and she looked fine."
"I don't know either. Zhu Jiarui himself said that he wasn't sure if she was in trouble or not. He just felt that something was going to happen to her, so he gave her a large sum of money to relocate her abroad, and..."
When Lu Yize said this, he once again felt that it was not appropriate to say this to Lu Xingchen.
But Lu Xingchen asked again: "And what? I don't know much about your affairs to begin with. If you keep trying to cover up the truth, I will understand even less."
Lu Yize hesitated and said, "The guy surnamed Zhu asked me to pay attention to Yang Wenqi beside Shen Mingzhen."
Lu Xingchen's first reaction was, aren't Yang Wenqi and Shen Mingzhen close? Why did he want to pay attention to Yang Wenqi?
"He didn't tell me the specific reason?"
"So I didn't just say half of what I said. That kid told me that this was all he could tell me. I just went to find Shen Mingzhen on impulse, and the result was... I was just looking for trouble!"
"You also asked about Shen Mingzhen and Yang Wenqi?"
"No, it's not appropriate to ask. Besides, she's already scolded me before I even got to that point. Shen Mingzhen is really a scoundrel and heartless, she's invulnerable and can't be influenced by anything. She told me that she had killed someone, and now I think it might be true. How could there be a woman like that..."
Lu Xingchen smiled helplessly and listened to Lu Yize talking and complaining for half an hour.
Not long after I hung up the phone, Li Zhen called me. "Who are you talking to? I called twice but no one got through."
"Aze."
"Lu Yize?"
"Well, he encountered some troubles." Lu Xingchen didn't say anything else and asked Li Zhen, "Are you looking for me for something urgent?"
"It's not urgent. I'm going back to my mom's place soon. Do you want to come with me?"
Lu Xingchen herself didn't realize that her brows subconsciously wrinkled slightly after hearing this. She casually flipped through the documents on the table, and she knew what they were. "I still have a lot of work to do, so I guess I can't do it tonight."
After saying this, Lu Xingchen frowned even deeper, because she once again noticed her resistance, which was why she deliberately went looking for a job, so she quickly added another sentence.
"If you really want me to go over, I can work overtime at night."
This sounded very forced. Li Zhen thought for a moment and said, "It's just a common occurrence. If you can't get away from work, do it next time. Don't always stay up late to work."
Lu Xingchen suddenly felt even more guilty and said, "I'm sorry..."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? There are times when I can't be with you because of work." In fact, he has heard Lu Xingchen say "sorry" more frequently recently.
"Then next time... I'll invite Auntie and the others out for dinner. I have something to do here, so that's it for now." Lu Xingchen hung up his phone and said to Cheng Xiao who came in, "What's the matter?"
"I want you to take a look at these two projects. There are a few places where I am not quite sure."
"Come." Lu Xingchen stood up and left the computer desk, walking towards the office seats where it was more convenient for discussion. The two sat face to face to study more feasible strategies.
Li Zhen had actually just finished a meeting and was still sitting in the conference room, just staring at the phone in his hand that was hung up by Lu Xingchen again, and he didn't move for a long time.
After Jiang Haicheng sorted out the work confirmed at the meeting, he tapped the folder on the desk and said, "The work after the New Year has finally come to an end. I can finally go home and spend time with my children..."
After saying that, seeing that Li Zhen didn't respond, he stood up, walked to his side and knocked on the table: "Uncle, what are you daydreaming about?"
Li Zhen put down his phone, looked at him and said, "Will you go back to accompany the child after you are done?"
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Haicheng saw him like this and pulled a chair to sit next to him. "Did you have a fight with your sweetheart?"
"No."
"I don't think Lu Xingchen is someone who would easily quarrel."
After hearing this, Li Zhen suddenly realized that it was true. Lu Xingchen rarely quarreled with others directly, including him.
He was also used to her way of dealing with everything calmly, and she did the same with him. But now thinking about it, he couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing at this moment.
Seeing him frown, Jiang Haicheng was surprised, "You two, don't you really have any conflicts? Sometimes it's dangerous not to quarrel or make a fuss."
"No..." Li Zhen denied it again, but suddenly changed his words, "Maybe it's not a contradiction."
"You must be really conflicted when you say that." Jiang Haicheng rolled up his sleeves. "Come on, I've been focusing on taking care of the kids lately, and I haven't given you any psychological counseling in a long time. Tell me, what's wrong?"
Li Zhen saw his prelude and glared at him unhappily. After a moment, he said, "It's probably that I want to get married, but she doesn't mean that."
"You proposed and failed?" Jiang Haicheng was surprised.
"I didn't propose, I just talked to her about this topic and she seemed to reject it."
"This..." Jiang Haicheng was about to speak when he saw the door of the conference room move. It seemed that someone was about to come in, but after hearing their conversation, he retreated. "Who is it?"
It was quiet outside the door for a while, but after a while, someone pushed the door open again. Chen Xiaolin walked in and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Li, I forgot to take my mouse and wanted to come over, but I didn't expect you were still here."
