Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 182 At least one acquaintance

Lu Shize first sent his mother home. Before leaving, he was still worried, so he told his mother directly, "Mom, Ji Yalan is just a classmate to me. I have many classmates, and she is just one among them who lives dozens or hundreds of miles away. That's all."

The man hurried to Yuantian Villa. When he arrived, almost everyone was asleep and the fourth floor was pitch black. The man was a little tired and sat on the sofa. Everyone had been busy these days and only now had some time. The two aunts and two bodyguards were taking down the Christmas tree.

Aunt Xue went to heat up some tea and came over. Lu Shize waved his hand and leaned back on the sofa, "You guys do your thing, don't worry about me."

Aunt Xue reported again, "The young lady has been very busy recently. She just went to bed after reviewing the content of the meeting."

Lu Shize nodded. Special Assistant Chen's phone rang. He ran to the French window to answer it. He came back soon and had nothing to report. Lu Shize then asked him, "Personal matter?"

Chen Ye nodded, "Yes, sir, I'll just turn down the volume on my phone." Special Assistant Chen usually carries two mobile phones with him. One is for Lu Shize to serve as a 24-hour special assistant and deal with various matters; the other is his own private phone. The ringtone volume is usually only two levels, but recently a certain number has inexplicably called him four times.

When the call came, even if I picked up the phone and called a few times, there was no response from the other end, and they just hung up.

Chen Ye lowered his head and turned his phone to vibrate. Lu Shize glanced at him again and spoke again, "Do you need to ask for leave to handle it?"

"Ah, no, no need..." Special Assistant Chen refused subconsciously.

Lu Shize smiled and said, "You've been like this twice already. You look a little lost. Are you sure you don't need to ask for leave?"

"No, thank you."

Lu Shize took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "It will be busier later. If you have any personal matters, I suggest you finish them first and come back in a few days... For example, go to Hong Kong."

The man didn't say it too bluntly, but it touched Chen Ye's heart...

The 'Merry Christmas' message that night and those strange phone calls, with the silence after the calls were connected, all reminded him of that woman.

She got together with his brother-in-law, and her sister's family was ruined... She became a rich man's wife as she wished.

In a place like Hong Kong where every inch of land is valuable, with luxury cars and mansions, it stands to reason that he wouldn't contact me again.

It would be better if we never had any contact with each other again.

However, Chen Ye felt inexplicably panicked in his heart. He always felt that something had happened to Lin Yiyu, or even something bad. She was afraid and it was something she could not handle alone.

Lin Yiyu has always been thin and small. When she was in college, she always worked part-time in the library. Chen Ye's family was not poor, but he noticed this person very early. In the evening, the setting sun slanted into the window. Her profile was so peaceful, and her bangs moved gently in the wind.

He looked up in confusion and caught a glimpse of that moment.

Until one time, when Chen Ye was overdue in returning a book and needed to process a deduction, the two had their first communication. Lin Yiyou's voice was also small and very gentle. Chen Ye always thought that he liked cheerful and outgoing girls, but when he met Lin Yiyou, he felt that this kind of sweet and shy type was really eye-catching.

Even if he occasionally met Lin Yiyu with a basketball when she finished work in the library, he would always come up to her and talk to her.

Chen Ye pursued her for more than a year before the two finally got together. Lin Yiyou was her parents' adopted daughter. It was said that in their hometown, there was a serious preference for boys over girls, and many baby girls were given away, and she was one of them.

It was not until she was eleven or twelve years old that she found out that her biological parents were living upstream on the other side of the river.

On the night she was born, she was carried down the river in a wooden basin, along with a simple set of clothes and a 500g bag of milk powder that had just been opened.

In the early morning, his adoptive mother who was washing clothes by the river saw him and called many people from the village. Finally, they rescued him from the basin.

She was the youngest in her adoptive parents' home, with two older brothers. People were poor in those days, and most people in the village would go out to work after graduating from junior high school, following their elders or older brothers and sisters in the same village.

Lin Yiyu was almost going to work, but that summer, she was admitted to the county key high school. She was the only person in the village who received the county key admission notice.

The more the village party secretary thought about it, the more he felt that it was a pity to lose such a good seedling. He took several team leaders to her home and did ideological work on her adoptive parents several times. Finally, he promised that as long as she went to school, the team would give her family 80 kilograms of white flour every month. Her adoptive parents also loved her, so they gritted their teeth and sent her to high school.

But as they reached their second year of high school, the atmosphere at home gradually changed. After all, their two biological children, and their two sons, did not continue their studies. There was no reason to spend money and effort to support an adopted daughter and let her continue to attend high school.

Moreover, according to Lin Yiyu's grades in high school, he will definitely be able to go to college in the future. So, he still has two years of high school and at least four years of college. This will cost him six more years of money.

She also lost the money she earned from working for six years.

It’s a loss all over the place!

The adoptive mother felt more and more upset, so she crossed the river and went upstream, where she had a big quarrel with Lin Yiyu's biological parents. The quarrel was so fierce that she scratched her face.

Finally, his biological parents scraped together enough money and finally gave him one thousand yuan, so Lin Yiyu reluctantly went back to the first semester of his second year of high school.

But that winter vacation, her family made it clear that no matter what, they would no longer support her studies.

Lin Yiyu always cried at night. She told Chen Ye that she didn’t know what reading could bring her, but she just wanted to read. She felt that she was suitable for reading and would definitely be able to read good books.

As the New Year was about to end, other students were already preparing to return to school, but she was still nagged by her adoptive parents even when she was doing her winter vacation homework.

"What are you writing about? I'm going to go work after the New Year."

"Washing dishes, I can earn at least 600 a month, which is much better than studying. Besides, many college graduates can't find jobs nowadays."

"Yes, college students are worthless nowadays. It's not the first few years anymore, and they are still guaranteed jobs."

Lin Yiyou was also pushed by them to chat with the girls from the village who were working outside. They suggested that she wash dishes, and some said that she was pretty, with big eyes, and that people in the city liked girls with such a fresh look. Maybe she could wash people's feet.

In their opinion, washing feet can make more money than washing dishes, but one has to be sweet-mouthed.

As Lin Yiyu listened to them talking, she felt more and more uncomfortable. Finally, one noon during the Spring Festival, she knelt in front of her adoptive parents and kowtowed three times. She used her own strength.

Blood was coming out of her forehead. She cried and begged them to let her continue her studies. She also said that she wanted to write an IOU and pay them back for every penny she spent. When she grew up and graduated, she would pay it back as soon as possible.

Her study journey was very difficult, and it was only after she had been with Chen Ye for a long time that she slowly told him some of her experiences.

But Lin Yiyou is introverted and doesn't tell Chen Ye everything.

Later, the two had several arguments about dating.

Chen Ye asked her out, treated her to dinner and a movie. The first few times they quarreled were fine, but after so many times, Lin Yiyu proposed to break up.

She said that love should be reciprocated, but she didn't have the ability to invite him back. Moreover, the last time they were together, they had steak. Lin Yiyu was shocked when he saw the price. That night, he insisted on breaking up.

Chen Ye always remembered how happy he was that night when she gave him the long scarf she had knitted. He also always remembered how pitifully she cried on the way back from Western dinner that night.

She said she tried very hard, but no matter how hard she worked, her scarf couldn't compare to the more expensive ones she bought. She also said that even if she sold herself, she still couldn't afford a fancy Western meal costing 1,800 yuan.

She cried very softly, almost biting her lips. Chen Ye hugged her and refused to break up no matter what.

So, no matter how many things happened later, he couldn't bear to be cruel to her.

"Mr. Lu, I would like to take a three-day leave."

Yes, if it was really her who came to find me, that man also beat my sister during their marriage. I was still in Hong Kong at the time and could still help my sister a little.

But what if she marries that man and gets beaten too?

Who among her parents and brothers would stand up for her? Not to mention she had to go to Hong Kong.

She was wrong, having an affair with a married man and bullying her own sister. However, if she encountered domestic violence, she was too thin and small to be a match for that person.

What's more, the other party has money and connections. Domestic violence already puts the woman in a weak position in the marriage, not to mention that she is in a well-known position, so she has nowhere to turn for help.

So, he should go find her once.

At least, get to know each other.
