Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 134 Only Visible to Him

"Shi Ze...can't."

Lu Shize has been a well-behaved child since he was a child. He seemed like a big kid at the age of six or seven. He cooked, ate, read and wrote by himself, and never let anyone worry about him. He was already an adult at the age of fourteen or fifteen. When his best friend, who was much older than him, died suddenly in an accident, he acted decisively and went there in a hurry. He also made the biggest decision: he would bear all the responsibilities of a child who was nine years younger than him.

Take her to a new environment, protect her with all your strength, prevent her from being harmed by anyone, and pay back the money to her family.

Mother Lu still remembers that Lu Shize, a freshman in high school, came in that evening with a first-grade kid in his arms.

He patiently talked to the little girl a lot and gave her a lollipop, asking her to sit on the sofa and wait for him obediently. He followed her mother upstairs and knelt there in the same way.

He said he decided to protect her.

At that time, the mother shook her head and said, "How old are you? How can you raise a child? To be frank, even a child like you who is only half grown up may not be able to take the responsibility of raising a kitten or a puppy, let alone another child.

How do you manage her eating, drinking, reading, and her mood, as well as all the other things going on at home?"

"I can do it all. I can do it. She doesn't need to be fed. I can help her check her homework. She's very well behaved and smart. She... can't go back. Nothing can happen to her. Absolutely not."

He swore so confidently that a half-grown child seemed to have grown up a lot. His mother felt it was unbelievable looking at her son. He also said, "I can do business, I can work hard, I can do everything, I can live one day as two days. I don't believe it, I can't do it, I can't do it well... As long as she is fine, anything is fine."

At that time, the setting sun fell on her son's shoulders. The mother pursed her lips and said nothing more.

I just listened to him talk about his arrangements word by word, and every step was detailed.

More than two hours later, a soft, sticky voice sounded outside the door. Then, a round head came in, blinking a pair of round eyes, looking at Lu Shize kneeling. The little girl was startled, and Lu Shize quickly got up and tried to comfort her, but she was smart and could guess that Lu's mother might not agree, so she quickly looked at Lu Shize, "Uncle"...

Shen Jiaojiao loves to cry. Lu's mother saw her crying that day and finally tried to coax her. She felt more tired than taking care of 10 Lu Shizes. The little girl was also sensible. She either kept crying or couldn't control her tears, and her hands kept grabbing Lu Shize's clothes.

Following in and out, like a little tail.

Before going to sleep, she looked at Lu's mother with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, I'm very good. If it really doesn't work out, I can understand... I'll go back tomorrow. Then when I grow up, I'll come to find my uncle, okay?"

Even so, Mother Lu did not agree immediately. She did not think her son could afford to support a stranger's life.

It’s just that the little one is too delicate. He has to sleep on several layers of mattress and listen to stories before he goes to sleep.

She watched the little one fall asleep while her son fanned himself beside her.

Finally I was tired of crying and fell asleep.

"...for a lifetime?" she asked.

"Well, for a lifetime," he answered while fanning himself with joy.

Does a 15-year-old really know what a lifetime of care means?

But she knew that the child didn't want to leave the little one alone with his frail grandmother in the county town.

The accident that happened to his parents might have been murder. On the surface, the borrowed money was used for the project, but there must be something behind it... Lu Shize's intuition told him that if Shen Jiaojiao stayed in D County, she would be in danger.

Next, he worked day and night, almost all year round, and in more than ten years, he reached the pinnacle of the business empire in City A and protected Shen Jiaojiao in the best way possible.

The mother looked back at her son, "Shi Ze, do you know?

Anyone can love her except you."

Lu Shize raised his eyes, and the woman nodded to him, gritting her teeth and saying, "A lazy and greedy person can love her; an emotional tyrant can love her;

A romantic man can love her; a peddler can love her... except you.

From the first time you met, she politely called you brother, and you squatted down and told her, "Little guy, I'm your father's friend, you should call me uncle";

After the accident, you rushed thousands of miles to bring her to this city, taking care of her and taking on everything, and started...

From the first time you held her hand, from the time you cared about every bite of food she ate, from the time you put her in the most important position every day and every night...

You put yourself in the place that is closest to her and also the farthest away!

From that moment on, you no longer have the qualifications to love her.

Do you understand?

There will be people gossiping, but the world will not approve, and the gossip will get worse and worse...

No qualifications... You are not qualified at all.

How do you tell her?!

How can she face her parents? And her grandmother?!"

Lu Shize felt sad, but he still raised his hand to wipe his mother's tears and nodded, indicating that he understood all these principles.

He decided to draw a line in the sand after hearing a joke from an old man.

He moved out and we contacted each other less frequently.

He had never coveted anything. He only thought that he should do one thing well in his life, which was to protect her. His mind was full of making money, expanding his territory, and doing business. He would also investigate what happened in the past so as to completely eliminate any potential danger.

But, I don’t know when it started, my eyes would stop on Shen Jiaojiao’s face. When I saw her happy, I would be happy too. When I saw her angry, I didn’t want to provoke her. I just wanted to listen to her and do whatever she wanted to do, so that she would be happy every second.

Lu Shize slept here tonight, and cleaned up his own room when he was a child...

It's nice here. There are no paper flowers folded by that person, and no paintings drawn by her.

There was also no kitten she allowed herself to raise, which meowed all the time.

He could sit quietly all night drinking, smoking, daydreaming, feeling heartbroken.

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't get up the next day and felt like she was seriously ill.

She took out her cell phone and was about to send a message to Liao Qingqing, asking her to help her ask for leave and not go to school today.

However, I first saw several messages sent by Aunt Xue, some from last night and some from early this morning.

Shen Jiaojiao quickly called Aunt Xue, who picked up the phone. "Miss... are you awake?"

"Aunt Xue, did you say Grandma Lu is here?"

Shen Jiaojiao felt weak all over and her throat was inexplicably sore. She struggled to get up and walked to the bathroom.

"Yes, miss, the old lady came at around six in the morning. She said she came to see you."

Shen Jiaojiao went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. It must be her uncle who asked Grandma Lu to come. He would no longer care about her.

He can't get over his own hurdle.

Shen Jiaojiao went downstairs with a pale face. Grandma Lu was worried all night. Although she didn’t know what had happened to the two children, her son was so uncomfortable last night, so she was wondering, what about this little guy?

Is it uncomfortable too?

Jiaojiao was only surrounded by these people who took care of her daily life. When Lu Shize came out and looked at her, she understood without him saying anything. Naturally, he was worried about Shen Jiaojiao being alone like this, so she rushed over early in the morning.

The workers said that the young lady had not gotten up yet, so she was waiting quietly downstairs.

"Jiaojiao..." Grandma Lu hurried over to help her. Shen Jiaojiao smiled at her and said, "Grandma, why are you here so early?"

"Because... I haven't had breakfast with you since I came back for so long. I miss you." Seeing the child's swollen eyes, she felt heartbroken.

At breakfast, Shen Jiaojiao just kept her head down and didn't say a word. Since her grandma was here, she couldn't ask for leave from school. She watched Aunt Xue tacitly help her take her schoolbag downstairs. She didn't say anything until she got into the car and rolled down the window to say goodbye to her grandma.

When she arrived at school, Shen Jiaojiao was exhausted and lay down on the table. After all these years of studying, today was the day she was least serious. She had no energy at all and couldn't hear a single word.

All she could think about was how the man rejected her every time... She leaned forward, and his hand withdrew.

A few days later, Shen Jiaojiao appeared at a party organized by Gu Sheng. She was also a member of the school student union. Many times before, Shen Jiaojiao could not attend it many times, always feeling that some social activities were unnecessary. But she told her uncle that she liked the male god Gu Sheng.

So, this time, she came after all.

A few days ago, after it was confirmed that Shen Jiaojiao would attend, Gu Sheng quickly upped the ante and made the simple student union gathering more prestigious, by more than one level.

"What theme?"

Shen Jiaojiao sat in the sports car and sent a message to Gu Sheng.

The person on the other end quickly replied, "Ms. Shen, have you arrived? Shall I ask the doorman to wait for you outside? The people participating are not just from our school, it's a social gathering."

Not only was the party more high-end, but there were also more people attending. Gu Sheng just wanted to show off his organizational skills in front of Shen Jiaojiao. The family had arranged more for the previous opening party, but this time, Gu Sheng was almost fully concerned about it.

Lu Yanran, who was from a different school than them, also came. Although Fang Zhi was not in the same campus, she also came to this event... The two of them arrived first and called Shen Jiaojiao, who said they would be here soon.

When Shen Jiaojiao arrived, not only was the doorman waiting, but Gu Sheng was also there. Gu Sheng put on a good front and hurried over to greet her when he saw her coming.

Shen Jiaojiao was wearing a long floor-length dress. Gu Sheng had sent her the photos in advance. Shen Jiaojiao only gave the photos to the makeup artists. They arranged it and said that the dress was suitable. Shen Jiaojiao took a glance and agreed.

When she entered, everyone looked over, followed by warm applause. Shen Jiaojiao felt a little puzzled, but she was already used to being surrounded by people, so she just nodded slightly towards the crowd.

Everyone was dressed up and the photo session was the first one. After the group photo, the small group photo, and the individual photo were all taken, everyone sat down.

Gu Sheng acted as the host and read out the theme of tonight. Since it was a social gathering, students from University A sat together with students from other schools. There was an empty seat opposite Shen Jiaojiao, and everyone else was facing new friends from another school.

Gu Sheng put down the microphone, walked over, sat opposite Shen Jiaojiao, raised his glass of champagne, and Shen Jiaojiao followed suit. Gu Sheng smiled and then looked at everyone.

After another round of pleasantries, Gu Sheng looked at Shen Jiaojiao again.

"Ms. Shen, welcome, I hope you have fun tonight."

"Everyone else is making new friends from other schools, but I'm following you?"

"We are new friends too. To be honest, I know very little about you. Similarly, you must be a stranger to me too..."

Gu Sheng could clearly feel that Shen Jiaojiao was inexplicably interested in many of the things he said this time. They talked about the latest Cannes award-winning movies and business secrets.

"As for the photo studio, Miss Shen, if you trust me, can I come to your shop tomorrow, which happens to be Saturday, to take a look?"

"Of course, business is good at the moment. I'm thinking about how to replicate it and I'd like to hear your advice."

Any business is not just about a single company or a store. It can only be considered successful if anything can be replicated, like my uncle.

Doing business is not gambling. It is not just based on luck. If you make money, you are happy. If you don’t make money, you blame it on bad luck. Real business is that every detail is quantified and controllable, and a series of operations are made replicable. Even if the leader is sipping a glass of wine now, others can still generate continuous value for her under her model.

Gu Sheng came prepared. He asked his assistant to take the bag and took out two books. "These two books are what my father asked me to read recently. I have finished reading them and will lend them to you for a few days."

Shen Jiaojiao flipped through it for a few seconds. The content was indeed good, with more theory than practice. It was more suitable for people like Gu Sheng who already had more practical experience, but it was actually a bit too early for a new recruit like herself.

But with the idea of reading whenever possible, and arming your mind first, it may be a bit too profound, but I love taking notes anyway, so it will be of great benefit to me in the future.

"Can I borrow it for a few days?"

For the first time, Gu Sheng felt that Shen Jiaojiao was unreasonably gentle towards him, completely different from her previous gentle but cold self.

"One week, Jiaojiao, you can watch as much as you want. If one week is not enough, then..."

"A week is enough, I will read it carefully, thank you."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her hand slightly, and the accompanying bodyguard hurried over. She glanced at the book, and the bodyguard immediately understood and picked it up.

"Go ahead"

The bodyguard nodded, took the book and went to the door, handing it to Driver Qi.

"Who gave it to me?"

"The second son of the Gu family, Gu Sheng, is a social partner of the young lady and is sitting opposite her."

Driver Qi sneered. Looking at the banquet schedule, shouldn’t students from the same school be separated and socialize with students from other schools?

The man surnamed Gu was so good that he sat directly opposite the eldest lady.

"A smooth talker".

The bodyguard shook his head. Even if the other party was a smooth talker, Gu Sheng was one of the best among the younger generation in City A. If the young lady really wanted to go to a social gathering, it seemed that he was the only one who could barely match her.

Some of the other classmates who were getting along well with each other sat on the same side early on and were closer to each other.

Gu Sheng looked around and deliberately pointed to Shen Jiaojiao, "Look, our party today was quite a success. It seems that several couples have succeeded."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't respond to this obviously ambiguous hint. She just looked at her watch and said, "There are still 23 minutes until the next step. Mr. Gu, do you mind if I play with my phone for a while?"

“Uh, this”…

Shen Jiaojiao looked at him blankly, then seemed to realize something, picked up her phone and pressed the front camera. Seeing this, Gu Sheng also hurried over, and with a click, Shen Jiaojiao took a photo of the two of them.

Then he said, "Well, we've taken a group photo, so this socializing session is over, right?

Mr. Gu, you wouldn't mind if I play with my phone for a while, right?

"Yes, you, just do as you please."

Shen Jiaojiao flipped through her phone and directly posted the picture on her Moments.

It was a photo of her and Gu Sheng.

Only Lu Shize can see it.
