Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C19
Green City International
Lu Zicheng leaned lowly against the doorframe and wore a flowery shirt. When he saw Secretary Xu, he grinned and elegantly took off his sunglasses.
“Secretary Xu, I haven’t seen you in a few days. You look beautiful again.”
Secretary Xu’s mouth twitched, “Thank you, CEO Lu, for your praise.”
He looked inside: “Where’s Chi Yinan?”
Secretary Xu stopped what he was doing and looked at his phone. “It’s on the way.”
“No way, it’s long past work time.” Chi Yinan, who never arrived late, was actually learning from the Sovereign King’s example today. He couldn’t help but be deeply impressed by what medicine Su Wenjin had given him.
“Has your boss been doing well lately?”
“This …” Secretary Xu honestly didn’t dare to say anything, and could only signal with his eyes. How could Lu Zixiao understand this from the gossip? He took a step closer: “Is it really that great of a spring?”
“Lu Ziyun, I think your skin is itchy.” Chi Yinan was standing behind him in a well-groomed, handmade suit. However, it was difficult for him to ignore the gloomy mist on his face. Lu Tingxiao immediately beamed as he ran up to him with his doggy legs and said, “It’s a misunderstanding, Big Brother.”
How many times had Lu Tingxiao wanted to tear his mouth open so badly? Chi Yinan forced himself to hold back his anger and walked into the office. Lu Ziyun rubbed his nose and shot Secretary Xu a glance before doing the same.
“Speak, what are you doing here?” The cold air in the room had already been turned on. Chi Yinan took off his jacket, hung it up, rolled up his sleeves and went to his desk to turn on his computer.
Lu Ziyun jumped up from the sofa and pointed at the scratches on Su Wenjin’s neck: “That woman is really ruthless. Big brother, you’re about to lose your looks.”
Last night, he had forcefully changed his position for her a few times, and had ended up irritating her, clawing at his neck with his claw. At that time, he only felt a burning pain, but he didn’t expect it to break like this this this this morning, and his gaze was somewhat displeased as he glanced at the man making a fuss: “It’s not on your face, say it, what wind blew you here in the morning.”
Seeing how his brother was so protective, he suddenly felt a little strange. Could it be that their relationship had grown stronger? When he thought of the things he had to do, he did not hesitate any longer and said, “This old man forced me to get married and take back everything. Right now, I’m homeless, big brother.” Lu Ziyun had a very handsome face.
He purposely showed his sad face in front of Chi Yinan.
“I happen to have a house at the south side of the city. You should live there first and wait for your old man’s anger to subside before saying anything. Tell me the key and I’ll get special assistant Chen to give it to you later.”
“This won’t do.”
Chi Yinan frowned in confusion.
“You also know that. I like liveliness. Hur Hur ~ ~”
“So?”
“Why don’t you stay at big brother’s house for a few days?”
Chi Yinan’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed, a faint light flashed across his pitch-black pupils. In the end, he nodded in agreement, “However, don’t go and provoke your sister-in-law for no reason.”
“Don’t worry, big brother.”
He thought that Zi Xi would be better off after he went over. After all, they would argue non-stop whenever they bumped into each other. Furthermore, Zi Xi was no match for her, so he was happy to let her train his lips.
Lu Ziyun’s smile blossomed on his face, but he had never expected that his purpose for existing would be like this. He happily dragged his luggage over.
Su Wenjin finished looking through the rest of the accounts at “Shango” today and then drove back after watching a movie. Thinking that the tulips at home had been taken care of by her, she decided to buy another bunch.
Lu Ziyun put his luggage into the room and strolled around the room. He couldn’t tell that Su Wenjin still liked to raise flowers, but it was a pity that all of them had died and were left shriveled and shriveled in a vase.
Auntie Xue brought up the fruit plate. Seeing the dead flower in the vase, she smiled and said, “Those are the flowers that the young mistress has raised, they will not be touched even if they die. Young Master Lu come over to eat some fruits, you can start eating when the young mistress comes back.”
Lu Ziyun nodded and walked over.
“I can’t say I have something to do tonight, but I’ll have to make up for it tomorrow. I’m sorry …”
Su Wenjin habitually opened the door with his key. Just as he heard the man’s voice from inside, he thought that Chi Yinan had returned, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the voice wasn’t right. When he opened the door, he immediately saw Lu Ziruo sitting on the sofa and eating a watermelon.
“Why are you at my house?” She changed her shoes and carried the flowers up the steps, not forgetting the important question as she looked up. “He’s back?”
Lu Ziyun was still elegantly nibbling on the watermelon before spitting out the watermelon seeds. Only after a long time did he answer her question: “No, I got Big Bro’s permission to come over to stay for a short period of time. Sorry to bother Sister-in-law.”
It was a blatant provocation. It would be weird if she could swallow her anger and throw the dried flowers in the vase into the trash. Then, she would buy the new flowers …
When she was done with all this, she turned around and met Lu Tingxiao’s gaze in midair. She walked over with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes and took a bite out of a watermelon from the fruit dish. How sweet!
“Lu Ziyun, do you have a family you can’t leave, or are you making a rascal out of yourself outside?” Su Wenjin’s words stabbed right into his heart. The scene of being forced to marry by the old man flashed through his mind. His awkward face turned pale, then turned red as he stared at the woman in front of him with his slender almond-shaped eyes.
“Hehe ~ ~ It can’t be that I hit you right in the heart. Sister-in-law really isn’t right. You can stay here however long you want. In the future, Sister-in-law will protect you.”
Lu Ziyun wasn’t her opponent at all. Every time she ran into him, he would even act like he could win. This was really satisfying. He was in a good mood as he ate another watermelon and purposely gave him a leaf as well: “Here, eat this!”
With a dark expression, Lu Ziyun left with a flick of his sleeve.
One of them was sitting on the sofa, the other was sitting on a chair in the dining hall. Both of them were staring at each other, wishing that they could strangle the other. She and he had been at odds with each other for three years, and from the start of the wedding ceremony, he had stepped on her wedding dress, causing her to stumble and almost fall.
“Warm, come here.” With his suit jacket hanging from his arm and his briefcase in one hand, Chi Yinan walked up the stairs and looked at her. Although she didn’t want to, she still got up and hung up his clothes.
Usually, she was the only one eating dinner, but now there were three of them. Chi Yinan was sitting in the main seat opposite her and Lu Zixiao, and Auntie Xue had cooked a lot of good dishes today, one of which was her favorite pickled fish. There was a layer of red chili floating on top of it, and she wasn’t afraid of spicy food at all.
“Sister-in-law doesn’t know how to eat fish. It’s really strange!” Lu Ziyun had finally found her weakness, and began to attack with all his might.
Su Wenjin smiled coldly at Chi Yinan. He reached out a hand to pull his sleeve and said, “Yinan, he’s laughing at me for not being able to eat fish.”
Chi Yinan’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused for a moment. The smile on his face was clearly amused by her tone, and then he recovered without revealing anything. He let go of the delicate hand that was holding his sleeve and laughed in a low voice: “Zi Xiao, you can’t eat spicy food.”
Look, this is the big brother who cut into our brothers’ chops. Lu Zizhao angrily pounded the bowl of rice. When had this young master ever suffered such humiliation? Only Su Wenjin didn’t give him face.
She tried her best to pull away from him, but he just wouldn’t let go. The scene was over and the main character had already left the stage. What was he trying to do as a supporting role?
“Drink more soup. You’ve gotten thinner recently.” When Chi Yinan got gentle, he was definitely going to use a sharp weapon to kill you without leaving a trace. Seeing him so courteous and gentle while serving her soup, she almost suspected that this was not the real Chi Yinan who possessed a ghost.
As she drank the soup, she stole a glance at him. He still had that same cold face, but there was a hint of a smile on his face. It was no longer that cold and aloof.
This meal was a little dissatisfying. It wasn’t clear if it was because of Chi Yinan or because of the quarrel he had with Lu Zixiao. Anyway, when she laid on the bed after taking her bath, her stomach hurt a little.
After Chi Yinan had finished his shower and was smoking on the balcony, he sat beside the collapsed chair with a faint smell of tobacco on his body. Looking at his cold and proud face, Su Wenjin suddenly thought of something important and climbed up from the collapsed chair to search for something.
Chi Yinan looked at her barefoot on the floor and frowned, “Put on your slippers.”
She turned it over and over and finally found the slip of paper. Hearing that, she came back dejectedly, put on her slippers and prepared to dial the number on her cell phone.
Chi Yinan caught a glimpse of the name and sneered. He leaned back against the collapsed wall. “Is it too late for Mrs. Chi to call?”
She stopped dialing and turned her head. “What do you mean?”
“That man came to the company.” As he leisurely said this sentence, a thought gradually formed in her mind. Could it be that this man had already extorted her, causing her to feel extremely displeased?
“Is the repair cost expensive?” she asked, leaning forward.
Chi Yinan smiled sarcastically: “He didn’t ask for a cent, but he said he wanted to cooperate with me?” “Heh heh, you sure know how to bump into people.” There was no trace of anger or joy in his words, but it was obvious that the man who wanted to cooperate with him had already angered him and wanted to try to get favor from him. He really didn’t understand Chi Yinan’s style of doing things.
“You refused?”
“No, no matter what, I have to repay the debt that Mrs. Chi owes Mr. Chi.”
The corner of his eyes slightly raised upwards, revealing an indescribable charm. Su Wenjin turned his face away and tore the piece of paper into pieces before throwing it into the trash can. Chi Yinan pulled her clothes from the back, causing her to be caught off guard as she fell into his embrace, being pressed down by him.
“Warm, Zi Che will be staying here for a while.” He originally thought that Ye Zichen would do something, but he didn’t expect that he would just lie on her chest and not move.
“Hmm, how long will it take for me to live here? It’s not like I’m the one who’s angry.” She said this with some pride.
“What a sharp tongue you have.” Chi Yinan pinched her face, “I will not help anyone in the future.”
She glared at him in frustration. “Who wants your help!?”
