Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 17

    For this, Lin Xiyu is indeed quite guilty. It hurts her self-esteem to distance herself from others. She didn’t want to have any misunderstandings with him, and hurriedly explained: “No, no, my Several colleagues love to gossip, and I don’t know if I will continue to go back to work in the research institute in the future, and I don’t want them to gossip about my personal affairs.”

    Lu Junting looked away and tugged at his tie subconsciously.

     “Brother Junting, I’m really sorry just now. As for pretending not to know you, I’m just afraid of affecting your work.”

    Lu Junting looked at her, she lowered her head, she looked like a pupil who made a mistake admitting his mistake in front of the teacher.

    The two of them went out together, and no one would think they were husband and wife.

    “Why not swipe the card given to you?”

    “…”

    Why did you suddenly turn to this topic?

    Lin Xiyu said: “I have nothing to buy.”

    “You can buy some clothes.”

    “I have some clothes on.”

    Lu Junting considered it for a while and said, “You are not only you now, you are also my wife, understand?”

    Lin Xiyu subconsciously looked at his clothes, did Brother Jun Ting feel that wearing it like this made him lose face? She doesn’t pursue any brand of clothes, just simple and comfortable. She is Mrs. Lu now, so it seems too childish to wear it like this.

    “Sorry, Brother Junting, I wear whatever I want when I go out, and I didn’t know I would run into you.”

    “Go buy a few sets tomorrow.” His tone softened.

    “Okay.” She replied obediently.

    Then the two of them were silent all the way, and Lu Junting didn’t say anything.

    Lin Xiyu called Lu Yuan early the next morning. Lu Yuan didn’t have to go to work on weekends. Lin Xiyu didn’t have much research on brands, so she could only ask Lu Yuan for help.

    Lu Yuan is most interested in eating, drinking, and having fun. When she heard that she was going to go shopping and buy clothes, she immediately became interested.

    “What do you want to choose?” Lu Yuan asked her on the way.

    Lin Xiyu thought for a while and said, “It’s the kind that Brother Jun Ting will like, and the kind that Brother Jun Ting can take out.”

    Lu Yuan winked at her, “What? I have developed a relationship with Brother Jun Ting and want to dress up to please him?”

    Lin Xiyu wanted to say that Lu Yuan was wrong, but she was too lazy to explain.

    Lu Yuan knew more about the brand than Lin Xiyu, and took her to familiar stores with familiarity. Once she came, she chose several sets for her to try.

    The lounge area in Lu Junting’s office is very large. The coffee that Lu Junting, a picky guy drinks, is freshly ground. Xiao Zian will come here to drink coffee when he has nothing to do.

    The two of them sat on the sofa in the leisure area, and there was a whole floor-to-ceiling glass on the side. The top floor of Changheng Group, overlooking the whole Ancheng from here.

    Lu Junting’s phone vibrated, it was a text message reminder, he opened it and glanced at it, it was the consumption notification of his secondary card, he put it aside after reading it, and it vibrated again after a while, Xiao Zi Ang curiously leaned over to take a look, and scanned the consumption reminder, and the amount was not small.

    “Who did you swipe your card for? Xiao Xiyu?”

    Lu Junting looked at him like a fool, “Who else can swipe my card except her?”

    “Tsk tsk tsk.” Xiao Zian pouted, “I can’t see that Xiao Xiyu is quite a loser, you have to talk about her when you go back.”

    “What about her?”

    “Teach her to be diligent and thrifty.”

    Lu Junting closed the phone, looked out the window with his coffee in hand, and said casually, “My woman, you don’t need it.”

    Xiao Zian: “…”

    Xiao Zian felt that he was slapped with dog food.

    Lu Yuan helped Lin Xiyu pick out a bunch of things, clothes, bags, jewelry, everything, the trunk was almost too full, Lin Xiyu worried: “Did you buy too much.” I don’t think she doesn’t think of herself as an outsider too much.

    Lu Yuan said: “What’s more, this amount of money is a drizzle to my eldest brother. Let me tell you, when you are with my eldest brother, the most worrying thing is money.”

    “…”

    Lu Junting assigned a driver to Lin Xiyu. Lin Xiyu was usually picked up by the driver when he went out. When he got home, the driver made two trips to help carry things upstairs.

    When Lu Junting came back, Lin Xiyu just sorted her things and went downstairs. Lin Xiyu was wearing this outfit that Lu Yuan helped her match, a long dress with a famous ethnic style, brightly colored stripes, tailoring and design But it is very unique, it does not make people feel gaudy, but has a sense of fashion.

    As soon as Lu Junting saw her coming downstairs, his eyes unconsciously stayed on her for several seconds.

    Lin Xiyu’s appearance is pure and pure, but the dress she wears is mature and sexy, but wearing it on her does not have the abrupt feeling of a child stealing adult clothes.

    She looks like she is so innocent, but her temperament has a kind of charm, this charm will spread out unconsciously, and dress up the white and thin she can’t ignore sexy.

    Lin Xiyu was uncomfortable with him, and greeted awkwardly, “Brother Junting, are you back?”

    Lu Junting retracted his mind and asked, “Bought it today?”

    “Hmm.”

    “Good.”

    He was satisfied, Lin Xiyu was relieved, she felt a little guilty, and said, “Just now Lu Yuan helped me pick too many things, I tried them all, and Lu Yuan said I bought them all.” Anyway, let Lu Yuan was right to take the blame.

    Lu Junting didn’t take it seriously, “buy it if you like it.”

    Lin Xiyu went downstairs, and there was a sudden gust of wind outside. The newspaper prepared for Lu Junting on the table was blown to the ground, and Lin Xiyu leaned over to pick it up.

    When she bent over, her long hair fell naturally and was lifted gently by the wind. When she leaned over, Lu Junting realized that the neckline of her dress was too wide, and glanced at it , Lu Junting felt that his breath was suffocating, and hurriedly staggered his eyes and turned to go upstairs.

    Lin Xiyu picked up the newspaper and put it away, Sister Wu helped her to boil it, and she drank a bowl before eating. When Lu Junting came down, she had just finished drinking it, and after Lu Junting came down, it was on her again Glancing at it, he said like a casual reminder: “In the future, try to wear clothes with larger collars when you go out.”

    Lin Xiyu glanced down at her neckline, she didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned this, but she still replied obediently, “Okay.”

    Just as dinner was ready, the two of them went to the restaurant to eat together. After dinner, Lin Xiyu was about to go upstairs when Lu Junting suddenly said, “Wait a minute, I have something to tell you.”

    Lin Xiyu sat back in the chair again, “Is there anything else, Brother Junting?”

    Lu Junting wiped his mouth with a napkin, he put his hands on the table, in a very serious conversation posture, Lin Xiyu unconsciously became nervous.

    “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow, but this trip will probably take a long time, and the foreign affairs have not been settled. This time I came back to participate in the mobile phone conference temporarily.”

    It turned out to be this matter, Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, it was a good thing for her that he was going on a business trip, she was much more relaxed when he was away.

     “Something will happen in the future, but no matter what happens, I will take care of it. You take care of your tires and take Sister Wu and the driver when you go out.”

    Hearing this, Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief and brought it up again, she asked, “Is something going to happen?”

    “You just have to remember that no matter what happens I’ll fix it.”

    It was probably inconvenient for him to tell her about his work, so Lin Xiyu stopped asking more and nodded obediently.

    Lu Junting didn’t lie to Lin Xiyu. He went on a business trip for more than a month. During this period, he would occasionally call to ask her about her situation. Call Lu Junting to report her situation. Sister Wu accompanied Lin Xiyu to the second prenatal check-up, and the fetus was already a little bigger than the one I saw last time.

    Lin Xiyu didn’t know what Lu Junting had to deal with would take so long. She asked Lu Yuan about it, and vaguely heard that something had happened to the foreign branch. Changheng Group built a factory abroad. Accidentally killed someone, and the workers started to revolt and make trouble. It seemed that the trouble was quite big. Lu Junting had to rush over to solve it himself.

    But in the second month after Lu Junting left, Changheng Group broke a big news. The heads of several branches of Changheng Group resigned collectively. Changheng Group suddenly fell into a talent crisis and its stock price plummeted.

    The main body of Changheng Group is in the building materials industry. There are branches in several industrial cities, and these branches are in charge of different leaders.

    Because traditional industries no longer satisfy Lu Junting’s ambitions, Lu Junting began to vigorously develop the technology industry after taking over the power, and also established Storm Technology Company.

    In recent years, Lu Junting has invested a lot of money in Storm Technology, and the heads of several branch companies who have been divided up are greatly dissatisfied.

    The interests of the major branches have been violated. In order to express their dissatisfaction, the head of the branch resigned to Changheng head office collectively.

    This incident was even mentioned in the news, one can imagine the seriousness of the incident. However, as the leader of the Changheng Group, Lu Junting never showed up once after the accident in the company. Some people said that he hid, and others said that he knew the accident had already taken money and fled.

      As multiple load-bearing columns collapsed together, this huge empire looked crumbling.

    Lin Xiyu received a call from Zhang Yao just a week after the Changheng Group accident.

    “Hee hee, are you alright there?”

    “I’m fine.” Lin Xiyu squeezed the phone tightly, “Aunt Yao, what’s the situation at home now?”

    “Don’t worry about it so much, you can rest assured to raise your baby, you know?”

    Zhang Yao didn’t want to talk to her, just to make her feel at ease. After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiyu couldn’t calm down and called Lu Yuan to ask about the situation. Lu Yuan couldn’t help but keep asking and said it.

    “I don’t know either. Anyway, the atmosphere at home is quite dignified. Some people came to the home to investigate a few days ago, and I don’t know what to investigate. My elder brother has been unable to contact him.”

    After Lin Xiyu hung up the phone, she couldn’t help worrying, it seemed that what happened to Changheng Group was much more serious than she imagined. However, Lin Xiyu thought of what Lu Junting had said to her before he left. He told her that something would happen, but she had to believe that he would solve it.

    Is it a matter of foreign workers? Didn’t he expect that the heads of several branches of Changheng Group resigned at the same time?

    At this time, the atmosphere of the Lu family was also tense and solemn. Except for Lu Junting and Lin Xiyu, all the members of the Lu family were there. Mr. Lu was pacing with his hands behind his back. Some.

    The old lady Lu couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Don’t walk around, it’s annoying me.”

    Mr. Lu looked solemn, with anger in his eyebrows, “I told him a long time ago that I told him not to go head-to-head with a few old men in the branch, the bridges that others have crossed are faster than him. There are still many roads to travel, so he has to listen.” Mr. Lu was so angry that his crutches cracked.

    Jiang Lisu said with a worried look on her face: “Where did this child Jun Ting go, why did he leave such a mess? There is no one in charge in the company now, look at this… this What’s the matter? Or, Mom and Dad, let Jun Feng take care of it, Jun Ting doesn’t know where he went, someone in the company has to take charge of the overall situation!”

    When Mr. Lu heard this, he swiped his eyes and stared at him. The old man is old, but after all, he is someone who has done great things. Even though he is old, his eyes are still sharp.

    The atmosphere seemed to be more solemn, Mr. Lu asked Lu Xun, “Do you mean the same thing with your wife?”

    Lu Xun was a little embarrassed, he immediately said to Jiang Lisu with a cold face: “Don’t make trouble.”

    Jiang Lisu was dissatisfied, “Where am I causing trouble? Isn’t this a solution?”

    Mr. Lu sneered: “The state has the laws of the state, the family has family rules, each family has their own things to do, the company belongs to Jun Ting, as long as he is alive for one day, these rules cannot be change.”

    “Dad, what time is it now?” Jiang Lisu persuaded, “It’s true that the company is Jun Ting, he is not running away now, doesn’t he even want the company? Having studied management, I either let him swallow the company or let him replace it.”

    “Nonsense!” Mrs. Lu said in a deep voice, “Now that something has happened at home, as a member of the Lu family, you should find a way to help the family through the difficulties within the scope of your responsibilities, and It’s not about profiting yourself while your family is in crisis.”

    Jiang Lisu was reprimanded for a while, with an unhappy expression on her face, and whispered: “Isn’t this the way I can do it?”

    “It’s okay, mom, don’t talk about it.” Lu Junfeng said at the right time, “Now is not the time to talk about this.”

    Jiang Lisu glanced at him angrily, and whispered to him: “You child, why are you so blind? I’m helping you.”

    Lu Junfeng knew that Jiang Lisu was helping her, but now the company is in chaos, the family can no longer be in chaos, no matter what conflicts he has with his eldest brother, now is the critical period of the Lu family, what they should do is Work together to help the family get through difficult times, instead of taking the opportunity to infringe on each other’s interests when family members are away.

    What’s more, based on his understanding of Lu Junting, he is not someone who falls down so easily. Shi went to dove to occupy the magpie’s nest, and when Lu Junting came back, he would die horribly. At that time, if Lu Junting kills him, what can others say, after all, his injustice comes first.

    Lin Xiyu wanted to call Lu Junting to ask about the situation, but she was afraid that the call would affect him, so she often asked Lu Junting, saying that Lu Junting had never contacted them, and the phone also called No way.

    Changheng’s situation became worse and worse, the stock price continued to plummet, Lin Xiyu did not dare to go out, and stayed at home all day. Lu Yuan had come to find her. Lin Xiyu wanted to inquire about the situation from her. She knew almost everything Lu Yuan knew.

    “You haven’t seen the faces of those people outside, my family hasn’t collapsed yet, and someone has already looked at me, do you know the big spinning top? It was the fat one who used to go to high school. “

    Lin Xiyu has the impression that the big top is a girl, because the name has a screw in it, and she is fat, so she was given this nickname.

    “Now even people like the big spinning top dare to pull in front of me. I happened to meet her when I went out to play that day, and you didn’t see her rolling my eyes. Who used to be okay? I have a good impression with me, and I eat, drink and flatter me like a dog. Look at her now. Wait, when my elder brother comes back, I will see who dares to look down on me. Those who looked down on me in the past, I will definitely Show them the color.” Lu Yuan said indignantly, but she sighed in frustration after speaking, and asked her uncertainly, “Do you think my eldest brother can come back?”

    Lin Xiyu didn’t really know what to do, but she still said to Lu Yuan with confidence: “Sure, just wait and see.”

      Families are in crisis.

    The greater the power and the higher the standing, the greater the risks and responsibilities to bear. Lin Xiyu believes that Lu Junting is not an irresponsible man, and he can tell by his attitude towards her pregnancy.

    Lin Xiyu came out of the shower that night and saw the screen of her mobile phone light up. She took a closer look and saw the call notification, almost instinctively, she hurriedly grabbed the phone and answered it.

    Lin Xiyu felt that her breathing slowed down, and she checked her phone carefully, “Is it Brother Junting?”

    “It’s me.”

    Lu Junting’s familiar voice came, and Lin Xiyu could feel the relief of a big stone falling in his heart. Since the Changheng Group accident, they have cut off contact, and it has been more than a month since he has not answered his call.

    “Brother Junting, are you okay?”

    “I’m fine, how are you?”

    His tone was very relaxed, and he couldn’t hear the lowness of a person who was in trouble at all. He seemed to be born with such confidence.

    “I’m fine too, you don’t have to worry about me.”

    The other side was silent for a while and said, “What about you, are you worried about me?”

    Lin Xiyu almost subconsciously blurted out, “How could I not worry about you?”

    She heard Lu Junting on the other end of the phone and laughed softly.
