Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, with the three of us here, things won't be too bad."

"Even if this project fails, I can extricate you from the situation and will absolutely not let you be implicated."

Ji Kang nodded. Of the three, he had the highest level of favorability towards Lu Yang.

Because Lu Yang is rich and capable, and as a student at Shandong University, he is also knowledgeable.

In his eyes, Cheng Lin and Li Chen were just ordinary people, from a different world than him.

A group of dozens of people came out of the mall together, and Lu Yang gave each of the employees a red envelope containing five yuan.

He wanted to have dinner with Ji Kang and the others, but Ji Kang declined, saying he still needed to revise the design drawings, and left with his own people first.

Lu Yang decided to take Cheng Lin and Li Chen to dinner together; they sat at one table, and Li Chen's friends sat at another.

While they were eating, Shen Xuwen finally found Lu Qing.

Ever since Han Bingcheng questioned Lu Qing about Lu Yang's character, Lu Qing knew that her time with Han Bingcheng and Mu Jiaojiao was numbered.

She had to find a way to save herself and get away from these two people, otherwise they might do something to her.

But she was in no condition to run. She was penniless and still recovering from serious injuries. She was breathless after just a few steps, let alone trying to escape.

For these two reasons, Mu Jiaojiao did not keep a close watch on her and even said that she would allow her to go out for a walk every day when the sun was shining.

As he was taking a walk, he saw Shen Xuwen walking towards him. Shen Xuwen was backlit, and he looked somewhat haggard because he hadn't shaved for two days.

Lu Qing thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes before realizing that it really was Shen Xuwen.

"Xuwen, I've finally seen you again! I'm so happy! I thought I'd never see you again!"

Lu Qing almost stumbled and fell into Shen Xuwen's arms, crying uncontrollably.

All the fear, helplessness, and confusion she had felt during this period poured out in an instant.

Shen Xuwen's eyes were red. He never expected that Lu Qing would completely break down in tears the moment she saw him.

He immediately realized that Lu Qing must have been wronged and was now treating him as her savior.

In his impression, Lu Qing was not someone who would easily lose control of her emotions; she usually appeared reserved and strong.

Lu Qing's emotional breakdown must be due to a severe blow and a strong threat to her personal safety.

"Take me away! Take me away!"

Sure enough, once Lu Qing calmed down, she immediately grabbed Shen Xuwen's shoulders excitedly and cried out in a choked voice.

Shen Xuwen was stunned by his crazy appearance, so he immediately picked her up and turned around to walk along the roadside.

Lu Qing nestled obediently in his arms, still sobbing and wiping away tears, her emotions not yet completely calmed down.

Shen Xuwen quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight for the train station.

Lu Qing only came to her senses on the way to the train station.

She quickly grabbed Shen Xuwen's arm and said, "I can't go back to the provincial capital."

"The Zhou family..."

Shen Xuwen immediately understood her meaning and quickly asked, "Then where can you go?"

Lu Qing also fell silent. She couldn't think of anyone in this vast world she could rely on.

Where else could she find a place to settle down and make a living?

Both of them were silent for a moment, then Shen Xuwen sighed deeply and said helplessly, "I'll take you to Harbin."

“I had a small apartment in Harbin when I was on a business trip. Even my parents don’t know about it. You can stay there for now.”

Lu Qing agreed almost without hesitation. Knowing that she had somewhere to go, her heart finally settled down.

Only then did she have the mood to ask Shen Xuwen, "Why did you come to Guangzhou?"

Shen Xuwen looked at her helplessly: "Lu Yang went back. I questioned him about your whereabouts, and he told me. I used the excuse of a business trip to come and find you."

Lu Qing asked, quite puzzled, "Why would he be so kind?"

Did he force you to do things for him?

Shen Xuwen lowered his head, his long bangs obscuring his eyes.

After a moment of silence, he said, "He did force me to do things, but it wasn't a bad thing for me; it even solved my dad's urgent problem."

He then told Lu Qing about how Lu Yang had successfully obtained the operating and management rights of the shopping mall.

As Lu Qing listened, her face grew increasingly gloomy. She was now in such a sorry state, having almost escaped death and left with nothing.

The harder she tried, the worse her life seemed to get, while Lu Yang's life improved more and more in just two years, subtly surpassing everyone else.

She felt an overwhelming sense of resentment and anger, but there was nothing she could do but watch helplessly as Lu Yang rose to prominence.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the resentment in her heart, and said weakly, "After this storm passes, I want to go back to the provincial capital. Can you come and pick me up then?"

Shen Xuwen smiled and gently kissed her forehead: "When you've recovered and want to go back to the provincial capital, give me a call and I'll come pick you up right away. Don't worry, I'll always protect you."

Lu Qing felt an even greater pang of pain in her heart after hearing Shen Xuwen's words.

She could have been Shen Xuwen's legal wife and wouldn't have had to live such a miserable life.

It's all because Lu Yang broke them up!

Now that Lu Yang is doing better and better, she wishes she could devour him alive.

But now she needs an ally, and Shen Xuwen should stand with her against the common enemy and help her kill Lu Yang.

After a long silence, Lu Qing said softly, "Xu Wen, I long to be with you openly and honestly."

Shen Xuwen trembled, but images of his parents, Yu Xintong, and their two sons immediately flashed into his mind.

Although he and Lu Qing were so close, they seemed to be worlds apart, never able to reach each other.

This realization caused him great pain, but it was the truth.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Xiao Qing, I will take care of you for the rest of your life, no matter what."

Lu Qing's hope vanished instantly; she immediately realized that Shen Xuwen could never be her ally.

Having just met Lu Yang, Shen Xuwen naturally understood just how powerful Lu Yang had become.

Even a fool could guess that Lu Yang was no longer someone who could be easily shaken.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Shen Xuwen to be wary and feel that offending Lu Yang could lead to utter ruin.

She didn't want to force Shen Xuwen anymore; getting better was the most important thing now. Once she was better, she would figure out how to deal with Lu Yang.

No matter what, she wouldn't let Lu Yang get away with it.

Lu Yang's happiness only served to highlight her misfortune, making her feel irritated.

Anything that she finds offensive should not exist!

Shen Xuwen didn't see through Lu Qing's thoughts. He gently stroked Lu Qing's hair and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll come to see you whenever I have time."

"Once we get there, I'll hire a nanny for you to take care of your daily needs."

Lu Qing nodded perfunctorily, but her heart was ice-cold.
