old enemy riding a bamboo horse

if your heart

always close your ears

我 说 我 爱 你

how can you listen

After flying in a daze for six or seven hours, Xia Chengqi sat in the waiting hall at the connecting flight, staring at the clouds in a foreign country outside the french windows in a daze, and his mobile phone buzzed a few times when the airplane mode was turned off.

He lowered his head and saw the message Xie Qing had given her.

Why shut down?

You decided to go back home?

In any case, please contact me as soon as you return home, it is urgent!

The repressed restlessness and heaviness once again filled every corner of Xia Chengqi's heart, all of Xia Chengqi's tiredness disappeared in an instant, and his mood sank into the abyss.

Perhaps, the worst prediction has come.

When Lu Henglin talked to him about the affairs of the group, he always avoided talking about Xie Qing. He would not naively think that it was because they lived in peace, precisely because Xie Qing was always in Lu Henglin's heart. Between, so he has been avoiding this question.

For the next flight, Xia Chengqi was not in the mood to fall asleep anymore, and kept his eyes open until the plane landed again.

After he landed, he called Xie Qing and made an appointment to meet him.

When Xie Qing arrived, he felt much more energetic than the last time we met. Compared with his calm and elegant image before, he was a little sharper, as if he had completely entered a state of combat readiness.

"It's not what I expected." Xie Qing nodded with a smile, and looked at Xia Chengqi calmly, "Although from what I know about you, your personality should be the type of person who is the least emotional, but your target is Lu Henglin. , I seem to understand a little bit."

However, she continued, "Sending you to him to ease the relationship between each other is probably the most cost-effective thing I have done. How did I know that your sincerity, which is so well hidden, was easily obtained by him."

Xia Chengqi knew that the situation might be worse than he had guessed, so he barely bent his lips, "No matter what, I will do my best to protect Henglin and not hurt you."

"I know that Heng Lin and I cannot coexist peacefully, so I have already prepared to leave the position of vice president." Xie Qing's smile faded, "But I never thought that he would plot against me and even try to force me to leave the board of directors. I can't stand it."

Xia Chengqi was silent for a while, because it was difficult for him to speak out because of his rapidly falling mood.

"How much does he have to hate me to disregard Xingyuan's future development and insist on seizing this opportunity to fight me to the end?" Xie Qing smiled, the smile didn't reach his eyes, but it was not cold enough, full of self-deprecating .

"The Lu family is on his side. It's a matter of course. Qin Nanjin doesn't want to get involved in the struggle, so he is neutral. Tan Bin is on my side."

Xia Chengqi silently calculated that Lu Henglin and his two uncles had a total of 14% of the shares. Even if Tan Bin holds 12% and is willing to advance and retreat with Xie Qing, Xie Qing is completely at a disadvantage.

"Now is when I need you."

Sure enough, the 4% share seemed not enough for all shareholders, but when it came to the critical moment, it was decisive.Lu Chengnian was really scheming, everything was predicted by him.

"Don't rush to say anything, agree, or refuse." Xie Qing raised his head and took a deep breath, "Listen to me and finish the most important thing."

"I promised you a long time ago that I have no intention of hurting Lu Henglin. Xingyuan is his father's life-long painstaking effort, but there is also half of my life's dedication in it. Probably because I have followed Lu Chengnian for a long time, and I have loved him for too long. Gradually accept this concept, Xingyuan is very important to me. I will retire one day, and of course Xingyuan must be completely handed over to Lu Henglin. As for my evening scene, the legacy Lu Chengnian left me is enough for me to live. The life I want. But I can completely hand over Xingyuan, not now. Now Lu Henglin is very sharp, but too young and immature. If I quit the board of directors, the delicate balance before will be broken. Xingyuan, it's not a good thing."

Xia Chengqi could see Xie Qing's sincerity, helplessness, and anger.

Lu Henglin has held resentment towards her for too long, his

He loves his mother so much, so it is impossible to forgive Xie Qing and Lu Chengnian on this matter.

Lu Chengnian has passed away, and he hasn't given Lu Henglin any more warmth for so many years. He is busy expanding his career territory. This knot is getting tighter and tighter, and even Lu Henglin himself is unable to untie it.

"I'm not here to persuade you to stand on my side, at least not for the time being. Even if you do this, he and I will lose in this confrontation." Xie Qing gave him a deep look, "If you do this, you and him He'll be fucked too."

"Then..." Xia Chengqi licked his lips, his voice dry.

"I'm hiding one thing from you. Although Heng Lin's father hoped that he could take on the important task of Xingyuan, he also foresaw the situation today. As I said, for him, Xingyuan is his life's effort, so He can't let Xingyuan be destroyed because of our internal strife, so he still has a supplementary will." Xie Qing emphasized, "Heng Lin has no idea."

Xia Chengqi was taken aback. Lu Chengnian and Xie Qing might not understand why the resentment in Lu Henglin's heart was so deep, but he did understand that it was this kind of behavior that made him despair in the end, despairing of his family.

Lu Henglin loves his parents like that, but he was betrayed by his father together with his mother. After losing his mother, his father only had his own career in his eyes when he was growing up. He took the woman he chose after betraying his mother and gave her everything he had never imagined. Honor and respect motherhood.

So what if Lu Henglin became the heir?

Even when Lu Chengnian was dying, most of what he said was about the development of Xingyuan after his death, and he wanted Lu Henglin to promise that no matter how incompetent the two uncles were, they would not be deprived of their equity because this was the face of the Lu family.

During that time, Lu Henglin was seriously overdrawn, and he didn't have time to sit in the group to take the lead in grasping his own rights. He spent a lot of time in the hospital, and even waited outside the ICU when he couldn't visit, because no matter how much he complained, he would still love his father.

Even though Lu Chengnian was ill, he never thought how long this son had longed for them to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk like this. He didn't leave a trace of apology for his son's neglect of education, and he didn't leave a single word of intimacy that Lu Henglin could slightly comfort.

He just left one will after another, hidden in the most critical places, for his huge career empire.

"The content of the will is very complicated. I can only tell you that if one day something happens that endangers the development of Xingyuan led by Henglin or me, the equity that originally belonged to his father will be redistributed. If necessary, the person in charge will be temporarily take right."

Xia Chengqi closed his eyes, his heart was in severe pain because he felt sorry for Lu Henglin.

"When I first learned about this will, I felt that the last bit of affection for him in my heart was exhausted. According to his intention, he concealed it from Heng Lin. He probably didn't want Heng Lin to know. He Finally, I still feel a little bit fond of my son." Xie Qing seemed to be recalling the state of mind at that time, even his eyes were full of desolation.

Is such a little mercy enough?Xia Chengqi thought sarcastically, he knew how much harm this will would cause, but he still kept it, for Xingyuan who was the number one in his heart.

After all, Xie Qing is a woman, she is not as cold-blooded and strong as Lu Chengnian, she still has feelings, she has already endured the great pain caused by her lover's distrust, so if she wants to get such a will and present it in front of Lu Henglin's son, it will destroy What.

"Heng Lin to his father..." Xie Qing hesitated to say a word, but failed, she smiled wryly, "I don't want to be cruel enough to ruin his last thought, and I don't want him to become the second His father. What's more, if this happens, Xingyuan may also be ruined to some extent."

"So, it's only you. In any case, dissuading him and living in peace with me is the choice a mature and powerful person should make."

"I will try my best." Xia Chengqi felt that something was weighing on him, and he couldn't straighten up because of the heavy shoulders.

He promised, but with absolutely no certainty.

When Xia Chengqi returned to Lu's house, Lu Henglin was still working. He left his two suitcases there and was in no mood to tidy them up.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he sat quietly on the sofa and waited for Lu Henglin to come back.

Perhaps more like waiting for the outcome of a trial.

When Xie Qing made the request, he probably didn't know that Xia Chengqi's dissuading Lu Henglin was already betting on their years of relationship.Because after all, she never knew how Lu Henglin suffered all these years, and did not understand his pain.

For so long, even though Lu Henglin restrained his attitude towards Xie Qing for the sake of not embarrassing him, he never thought of easing their relationship.Because of that late night when Lu Henglin was heartbroken, because of so many years of indulgence by Lu Henglin, and because of the deep scars he hid in his heart.

He understands, he aches for him, so he can't.

But he has no choice.

When Lu Henglin came in, he didn't seem surprised that he was at home, but Xia Chengqi was too preoccupied and nervous to realize it.
