Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 8: Old grudges are not settled yet new grudges arise

Lu Xingchen adjusted his emotions, looked at Chu Zeyan and asked, "Then why did you come from the front?"

Chu Zeyan said in a normal tone: "Zhang Qiaoai's car was scratched in front, and she called me to come over."

He looked calm, but Lu Xingchen felt like crying but had no tears.

Chu Zeyan asked again, "Any questions?"

What could be the problem? Lu Xingchen curled his lips, "No problem at all."

Isn't it just passing by her ex and her current boyfriend? As long as they don't cause trouble for her, it's not a problem.

So, when Wen Nuan saw that someone really came to pick her up, she closed her umbrella and got back into the car without any hesitation. As for Li Zhen, his car window was always closed, so Lu Xingchen felt even less burdened.

But at this moment, an inexplicably familiar voice suddenly shouted, "Boss Chu?"

Lu Xingchen turned around reluctantly, and indeed saw Li Zhen's follower greeting Chu Zeyan with great joy, "It's really President Chu!"

Fortunately, Chu Zeyan looked at the driver for a while and seemed unable to recognize him.

However, Lu Xingchen was unable to breathe a sigh of relief, as the driver lowered the car window even further despite the rain outside. Lu Xingchen didn't know how he managed to express excessive enthusiasm and sincerity at the same time, but this was how he helped Chu Zeyan awaken his memory.

"Don't you remember that our CEO Jiang had a discussion with you at the last exhibition?"

Chu Zeyan thought about it for a while and finally remembered, "Mr. Jiang from Zhencheng Company?"

The young man smiled brightly, "Boss Chu is not only a noble man but also a good man. I was following Boss Jiang's assistant to explain the other day. I remember you said last time that you wanted to meet our Boss Li. Today is... a chance meeting."

No matter whether it was their fate to meet each other after traveling thousands or tens of thousands of miles, Lu Xingchen just wanted to withdraw quickly at this moment. She was afraid of complications. After all, it would be troublesome.

But after Chen Shu finished flattering him, he turned to the person in the back seat and said, "Boss, that's Mr. Chu from Hua Xun outside."

Lu Xingchen hoped that Li Zhen would not get out of the car, but even if he didn't know that Chu Zeyan was from the Chu family, based on Chen Shu's enthusiasm in negotiating business regardless of weather conditions, he would not ignore the customer.

After about ten seconds or more, there was a click and the back door of the Bentley was opened from the inside.

A black umbrella was extended.

Bang.

The umbrella opened.

The first thing that caught my eye through the car door was the black leather shoes and black trousers on the floor, and then Li Zhen, wearing a casual suit jacket and with an upright posture, came out of the car holding an umbrella.

Perhaps because Zhang Qiaoai and the others had exposed his past, Lu Xingchen felt a little guilty when he saw this man.

Li Zhen didn't look at her. He took two steps towards Chu Zeyan and looked at Chu Zeyan through the umbrella for a moment. He stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Zhencheng, Li Zhen."

Lu Xingchen's eyebrows moved slightly. This was the first time he heard this person speak after they met several times.

Chu Zeyan smiled as usual, shook hands with him and said, "Hua Xun, Chu Zeyan."

After saying that, the two let go of each other's hands.

Chu Zeyan looked at Li Zhen for a moment without leaving any trace, and then said casually and casually, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Mr. Li, do you want to go for a drink?"

There's no need to bring her along for this, right? But with her around, Li Zhen probably wouldn't want to go.

As expected, Li Zhen said, "It is an honor to be invited by President Chu."

Huh? Lu Xingchen thought he had heard it wrong and looked up at Li Zhen.

Li Zhen still didn't look at her, not even a glance.

That was probably because the cooperation he and Chu Zeyan wanted to discuss was very important, which allowed him to not only go through rain or shine but also tolerate her presence.

But even if he was trying to compromise, she, Lu Xingchen, was not interested in drinking with them. Besides, could she take the opportunity to help him get rid of Chu Zeyan?

"Since you two have something to discuss, I won't bother you."

"It's okay." Chu Zeyan thought she was trying to avoid suspicion and said, "We're just drinking tonight, not talking about anything. Right, Mr. Li?"

Li Zhen probably couldn't refuse so he replied with four words: "Mr. Chu, please feel free."

Chu Zeyan said very casually: "Then I will be gracious to bring one more person."

Li Zhen said in his usual tone: "You're welcome."

Were they too rude? She was a living person after all, could they please respect her opinion? Lu Xing forced a smile on his face and said to Chu Zeyan, "I..."

The rain was not heavy, but it made a rustling sound when it fell on the umbrella.

There are also sounds of car engines around.

Chu Zeyan looked over sideways, with doubt in his eyes, "I didn't hear it clearly."

Their umbrella was not as big as the one Li Zhen was holding alone, so when he slightly turned sideways, the two of them were very close.

But Lu Xingchen didn't care about these, and she didn't think other people would care. She leaned closer to his ear and said, "Boss Chu, I have something else to do, so I can't accompany you any longer."

Chu Zeyan immediately apologized, "I was negligent and didn't ask you if it was convenient."

"It's okay." Lu Xingchen smiled slightly. Even if Chu Zeyan wanted to settle accounts with her, it was not worth sacrificing Zhencheng, a big client, to deal with a small character like her.

Chu Zeyan turned to Li Zhen and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we have some urgent matters to deal with here. We can drink tonight's wine another day."

"No." Lu Xingchen had never expected this result, and had to repeat it to Chu Zeyan, "Boss Chu, go and do your thing, I can go back by myself."

She was trying to persuade him between the lines, saying that it wasn't some deep hatred, and he could just keep a record of it and take revenge next time. Why should he delay his big business because of her little thing?

But Chu Zeyan was unmoved, "It's okay, we're not in a hurry either."

Lu Xingchen felt a lump in her throat. Chu Zeyan had already gone to the point of not doing his job in order to fight her to the death. However, he also valued the cooperation with Li Zhen, so he said to Li Zhen: "I'm sorry for tonight, Mr. Li. I will definitely visit Zhencheng some other day."

This time, Li Zhen did not respond to Chu Zeyan immediately, but looked at Lu Xingchen.

This sudden glance made Lu Xingchen shudder all over... He didn't think that she wanted to ruin his business and deliberately sent Chu Zeyan away, right?

But Chu Zeyan just said that he would visit their company, so his willingness to discuss cooperation with him was already very obvious. Even she, an outsider, could hear it, so there was no way Li Zhen couldn't hear it, right?

Since you can hear it, what's the point of trying to kill her with such a look?

Are you afraid that she will turn around and whisper something in Chu Zeyan's ear?

Then he really praised her.

It would be good enough if she could come out of Chu Zeyan in good health.

The atmosphere was a little awkward because Li Zhen didn't say anything.

Chen Shuo saw this and smiled to smooth things over: "Boss Chu is really a man of temperament, but then again, anyone who has such a beautiful girlfriend like you would put her first. Our Boss Li understands very well..."

What did he understand? Li Zhen looked at Chen Shu solemnly.

Chen Shuo almost bit his tongue when he was looked at. He stopped smiling and looked at Li Zhen carefully.

Li Zhenmian then turned his gaze away from his face and lowered the large black umbrella in his hand. The light on his body seemed even dimmer, so that his face could not be seen clearly.

Only the pair of eyes that were almost hidden under the umbrella, as if darker than the night, stared at Chu Zeyan for a long while before saying four more words: "Mr. Chu, please feel free to do as you please."

His voice remained flat.

But Lu Xingchen knew that something was wrong. If their cooperation could not be reached, Li Zhen and her would have a new grudge.

But she felt wronged. The only thing in her mind was how to get rid of Chu Zeyan.
