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

At 11 o'clock on the evening of New Year's Eve, the temperature in Yuecheng was 12 degrees Celsius.

Lu Xingchen came out of a chess and card room with a dim entrance in an old residential area. Just as she stepped on her electric bike, the cell phone in her coat pocket rang. She swiped the phone and put it to her ear to answer it.

Mother Xu Fanghua asked anxiously: "Have you found the person?"

A bunch of fireworks suddenly shot up in the sky above the dim community. Lu Xingchen looked up and the fireworks exploded brilliantly in her sight. "I've looked in the places you mentioned, but they're not there."

Xu Fanghua burst into tears: "That old bastard Lu Wenli doesn't know how to do anything else except gambling with it. I have to get the money back before he gambles it all away!"

The popping sound of the fireworks made Lu Xingchen's head hurt. She picked up the helmet on the front of the car, put it on her head and said, "It's New Year's Day. There's no need to let this little money affect our mood."

"The money you gave me before the New Year plus the unspent living expenses in the past six months totaled two hundred thousand. That bastard transferred it all away without leaving a single cent. I don't even know how he got my password!"

Lu Xingchen held the phone between his ears and shoulders and buttoned up his helmet. "If you lose money, you can earn it again. It's not worth it if you get sick from anger. Calm yourself down. I'll be there in about forty minutes."

Hearing her daughter's calm voice, Xu Fanghua had to calm down. After a moment of silence, she spoke again: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered so much..."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the chance to come into this world."

"But I didn't listen to your advice and married that bastard Lu Wenli!"

If you want to say this... Lu Xingchen thought about it for a while and asked back: "Then are you willing to divorce him now?"

Xu Fanghua was silent for a while, "It's not that I don't want to divorce him, it's just..."

She hesitated.

Lu Xingchen gave her time.

But in the end, she didn't continue talking, but tried her best to explain to Lu Xingchen: "Xingchen, I... I have reasons why I can't leave him."

Lu Xingchen sighed inwardly and said in a normal tone: "No matter what the reason is, I still say the same thing. If it's because of Lu Dingsheng, then it's not necessary. You have nothing to do with him now. If it's because of me, then it's even more unnecessary. I can solve the problem of both Lu Dingsheng and Lu Wenli. I only have one request for you, make the best choice for yourself. After all, no matter how much I love you, I can't help you live your life."

"Xingchen..." Xu Fanghua was choked with sobs and unable to speak.

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Do you think I'm great? So don't think about those bad things and think about me too much. I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone with his mother, Lu Xingchen rode his electric scooter and quickly drove out of the old neighborhood, with brilliant fireworks from somewhere in the sky above him.

After Xu Fanghua married Lu Wenli, Lu Xingchen no longer lived with Xu Fanghua, even though she often went to see her and never stayed overnight at their place.

Xu Fanghua knew that she didn't want to deal with Lu Wenli, so she still booked a New Year's Eve dinner at the hotel this year. It was originally agreed that the three of them would eat together, but when the mother and daughter arrived at the hotel, they never waited for Lu Wenli, and his phone was turned off and they could not be contacted.

After the two finished their New Year's Eve dinner, Xu Fanghua insisted on paying the bill, only to find that the money in her bank card was gone when she paid. Lu Xingchen helped her check the transaction records and found that all the money had been transferred to Lu Wenli's account.

After Lu Xingchen sent Xu Fanghua home, he rode the electric bike that he usually used to buy groceries for his aunt to the place where Lu Wenli often gambled to look for him, but he couldn't find him after searching for an entire night.

It was almost twelve o'clock when she finally returned to Xu Fanghua's place. She asked Xu Fanghua to pack her clothes and go to her rental house to settle her down. The New Year had already passed.

Lu Xingchen took a shower, dried her hair and came out of the bathroom. Xu Fanghua was lying on the bed with her back to her, not saying a word. Guessing that she was not asleep yet but was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, Lu Xingchen lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down in it, hugged her from behind and whispered a little.

"Happy New Year, Mom. I love you forever."

Xu Fanghua lay on her side with her eyes closed and did not answer, but tears quickly flowed from the corners of her eyes. These tears were not only filled with guilt but also with relief. She was able to relax and fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing her mother's even breathing, Lu Xingchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then she couldn't sleep. It wasn't because of what happened today, but because she was not used to sleeping in the same bed with her mother. This feeling of closeness and strangeness made her feel uncomfortable.

Lu Xingchen carefully let go of the arms that were hugging his mother, turned around, picked up the phone on the bedside table and opened it. The time was already two o'clock in the morning.

WeChat prompts that there are multiple unread messages.

There are New Year's greetings from Zhao Wenjing and Xu Nanhe, as well as photos of the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in the group of three, and a video of the New Year's Eve fireworks.

Chen Xiaolin asked her if she had time to go to her house for dinner on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

When Lu Xingchen saw the New Year's greetings from Chu Zeyan, she remembered that she hadn't seen him since the last time he saved her sister in a roundabout way.

What surprised her most was that Li Zhen actually took the initiative to send her a WeChat message.

Just seeing the words "Happy New Year to you too", Lu Xingchen couldn't help but smile.

Boss Li probably had too many messages and mistakenly included her, an irrelevant person, in the group reply.

In any case, it was too late, and Lu Xingchen didn't reply to anyone's messages. He turned off his phone, put it back on the bedside table, pulled up the quilt and tried to fall asleep.

Li Zhen couldn't remember how many times he picked up his phone. Even though the message was not from Lu Xingchen, he would still open the chat box with her. Then, he would regret it every time he looked at the message he sent, "Happy New Year to you too."

It's not that he hadn't thought about the possibility that Lu Xingchen would misunderstand that he was replying to the wrong person, but he fantasized that even if she thought he had sent the message to the wrong person, she would definitely reply if she wanted to talk to him, or even if it was just to fit the occasion, she would wish him a happy new year.

That way, whether he was giving her a way out or she was being polite, he would always find a reason to talk to her.

But after waiting for a long time without receiving her reply, he felt that Lu Xingchen now had a very bad impression of him and was convinced that he hated her, so it was impossible for her to reply to his ambiguous greeting.

In this way, he completely lost the excuse and courage to look for her again.

He didn't find anyone, didn't talk, didn't hear her voice, and did something stupid, childish and licking. Boss Li tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

His mind was torn between his extreme desire to see Lu Xingchen and his resentment towards Lu Xingchen.

Then, he sat up for a while, wanting to call Lu Xingchen immediately regardless of everything, and then he persuaded himself that it was good not to be a licker, and lay back down. He fought back and forth like this until dawn, and Li Zhen felt that he was...really crazy.

How on earth could he pretend to meet Lu Xingchen naturally?

The afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Lu Xingchen was just about to discuss with Xu Fanghua about going to Chen Xiaolin's house for dinner when his cell phone was called by an unfamiliar number.

The man on the phone chuckled and said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Lu. Do you remember who I am?"

Lu Xingchen recognized who it was, but didn't respond.

The other party took the initiative to say, "It seems that Mr. Lu is forgetful. I am Wang Yunchao. We had a very pleasant cooperation."

Lu Xingchen seemed to have just remembered and said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Wang."

"We are all friends." Wang Yunchao smiled and asked, "Mr. Lu doesn't have time, so why don't we meet in the evening?"

"I'm a bit busy during the Chinese New Year and I'm afraid I don't have time."

"What if it's about the 'Mastermind' restrictive contract?" Wang Yunchao smiled and said, "Then, see you at 10pm, AK."

AK's business was still good during the Chinese New Year, but Luo Shi never expected that his boss would invite him here for a drink on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

But when he came to his seat and saw that the boss had already finished two bottles of wine, he probably guessed what was going on. No wonder Li Shu called him yesterday to ask if her brother had encountered any problems.

What could happen? Even a hero cannot resist a beautiful woman, and she is a femme fatale. Luo Shi had no choice but to accompany Li Zhen to drink. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, he used both soft and hard tactics to take the drunk man back home.

At this time, Luo Shi saw the femme fatale walk into AK. His first reaction was that it was the boss's appointment, but Lu Xingchen walked straight towards the bar, and the person sitting at the bar and waving at her... was actually Wang Yunchao, the boss of Chaoyue Technology.
