Chapter 155 The Mystery of Mr. Chu's Life
Chu Zeyan was driving a black Ferrari Purosangue today. Lu Xingchen didn't think this luxury car was eye-catching before, but now it is really eye-catching. The car itself is attractive, and the people in the car are even more attractive. And she, who doesn't want to attract attention, has to get in this car. What a sin.
As soon as she sat in the back seat, Chu Zeyan asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Experience has taught me that bargaining will only delay my stay, so Lu Xingchen said directly, "You decide, I'm fine with anything."
As luck would have it, the place Chu Zeyan took her to was Zhou Ji Private Kitchen Restaurant.
Lu Xingchen inevitably thought of Li Zhen coming here to pack takeout for her. The two were led to their seats by the waiter. Chu Zeyan looked at her and said in a very good-natured manner, "Have you been to this restaurant? I heard that their private kitchen dishes are the best."
She knew it was delicious, but she had never been to the store, "It's my first time here."
Chu Zeyan handed her the menu and said, "Order whatever you like."
Lu Xingchen declined, "Just order what you want."
Her action was not to keep a distance from him, but to distance herself from him. Chu Zeyan took the menu and ordered a few dishes and gave them to the waiter to take away. He looked at Lu Xingchen and said, "I'm not a scourge. Do you really have to avoid me like this?"
Lu Xingchen said politely: "My biggest wish is to live a simple life."
Chu Zeyan asked back: "Am I complicated?"
Lu Xingchen glanced at him and said, "You are born extraordinary."
"..." Chu Zeyan couldn't continue the conversation, so he changed the topic directly, "Wanyi woke up the next day and is fine now."
"Congratulations."
"The test results are out. No special drugs were detected. There was only one sleeping pill ingredient. This drug can be found in Wanyi's recent medical records. As for her fever and rash, it was alcohol poisoning."
Does this mean that Su Wanyi might have taken the sleeping pills herself, and those people didn't tamper with her things? But Lu Xingchen frowned slightly when he thought of what the blue-haired girl said.
Chu Zeyan caught her slight expression. He continued calmly, "I checked the surveillance video and saw the process of you saving Wanyi... You are really brave. How dare a girl fight two people alone with an unconscious person?"
Lu Xingchen didn't want to take credit for it. "How could I beat him? I just outsmarted him. It didn't take any effort."
It was not known whether her words were interesting or whether her words just tickled his funny bone, but Chu Zeyan smiled again after hearing this, "You are very brave and clever. Thank you so much."
"If you really want to thank me..."
"I know. I won't look for you in the future. You want to live a simple life." Chu Zeyan took over her words and asked back, "I'm not bad either. How can you not want to make any plans?"
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, "It's my fault. I don't dare to attack you."
"You don't want it even if I allow it?"
"I have a boyfriend."
Chu Zeyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Li Zhen?"
Lu Xingchen answered frankly: "Yes."
Chu Zeyan was puzzled, "He's not bad, why do you dare to do that again?"
Lu Xingchen glanced at him and said more politely: "He is a little worse than you."
"..." This person's words were interesting, but they were all aimed at talking to him to death. "Do you dare to say this in front of Mr. Li?"
Lu Xingchen: "I won't say that in front of him."
Chu Zeyan answered honestly, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell him about it?"
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, "Even so, I will still help your sister next time she's in trouble, so you still don't have to be polite, Mr. Chu."
Is it possible to slap someone in the face so politely? Chu Zeyan smiled, but the next sentence he asked was: "What do you think about Wanyi taking sleeping pills?"
Lu Xingchen raised his eyelids and answered calmly, "This is really beyond my professional scope. It would be better for you to see a doctor. I heard that Miss Su studied medicine, so she should know more than me."
Chu Zeyan looked at her wise and reserved eyes and guessed that she knew that what he wanted to talk about was not medical-related matters, but just didn't want to interfere in his affairs, so he continued the conversation himself.
"I asked the people who took her away that night, and they all said that Wanyi was drunk at a reunion with her classmates, so they were going to send her back to school. I also asked Wanyi, and she gave the same statement as those people."
Lu Xingchen lowered his eyes for a moment, then looked at Chu Zeyan, "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."
"Do you really think so?" Chu Zeyan had his usual smile on his face, but his gaze was sharp enough to penetrate people's hearts. "If that's the case, why did you suddenly change your mind and intercept Wanyi when you were about to get into the elevator?"
Lu Xingchen smiled now, "So Mr. Chu asked me out for dinner not to express his gratitude, but to interrogate me?"
Chu Zeyan leaned back in his chair, "No, I just want you to provide me with some clues."
At this time, the waiter served them the food and the conversation between the two was temporarily interrupted.
After all the dishes were served, Chu Zeyan picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for Lu Xingchen first. Lu Xingchen was sure that he didn't know what she liked to eat, so she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Chu Zeyan put down his chopsticks and continued, "I am indeed Chu Hongchang's son, but I am just his illegitimate child. When my mother was with him, she was still a young actress who had just debuted. Later, her career was interrupted because she was pregnant with me.
But Chu Hongchang, who had promised to give her a legitimate status, found a new love before he divorced. A few years later, my mother started dating Su Guoan under his strong pursuit. Su Guoan said that he wanted to marry her, but my mother didn't know that he already had a family until she was seven months pregnant with Wanyi.
The three of us, mother and children, depended on each other for six years. When I was thirteen years old, I came home from boarding school and found that my sister was missing. My mother told me that my sister had died in an accident. I was sent back to the Chu family that year.
The rest of the Chu family could not tolerate me, because my existence would only add another contender for the family property. Taking advantage of the opportunity that my mother was seriously ill and went abroad for treatment, Chu Hongchang sent me abroad with him. Not long after, my mother passed away. I continued to study abroad for many years and planned not to return to China, but three years ago, I suddenly learned that Wanyi was still alive.
It turned out that my mother knew that she would not live long, and originally planned to send my sister and me to the Chu family, but the Chu family could not even accommodate me, let alone a child of a mistress who was not related by blood? So my sister was sent to the Su family.
Su Guoan cheated during pregnancy. Wanyi was a thorn in Mrs. Su's side, so she was abused when she entered the Su family. To be honest, I heard that the Li family often gave her food and took her in. I am really lucky. "
Chu Zeyan's eyes were slightly red when he said this, but he continued with a smile, "This is what I, as a brother, should have done, but I only lamented my own misery all those years, not knowing that my sister was much more miserable than me. She was just a little girl at that time."
Chu Zeyan said this, picked up the wine poured by the waiter on the table and took a sip, then put the glass back on the table and stared at it for a long time before speaking softly.
"When I was a child, I was very conflicted. It was clearly the adults who made the mistake, so why did the children have to suffer? I also doubted myself whether I should not have been born."
After hearing this, Lu Xingchen's eyes darkened slightly.
Chu Zeyan looked up at him at this time. His sparkling eyes were no longer full of brilliance, but instead had an indescribable sinisterness and determination. He said sentence by sentence:
"Then I thought again and again, what did my mother do wrong? What did I do wrong? What did my sister do wrong? Why can't we get what belongs to us? Why do we have to endure others bullying us?"
