Do you like to eat it?

Lu Xiuyuan originally planned to stay abroad until the New Year's Eve before going back, but when he heard the news about Chu Yang from Xiao Chen, he insisted on shortening his working hours for nearly a week to less than three days.

When Xiao Chen temporarily booked a plane ticket for Lu Xiuyuan, five hundred words were not enough to describe the shock in his heart.

It seems that Mr. Lu is completely screwed this time.

Not only Xiao Chen, but even the second assistant in the country who pays attention to Chu Yang's every move thinks so.

But they all knew in their hearts that for a person like Lu Xiuyuan, it's okay to play casually outside, but it's hard to achieve positive results, and they usually get together and leave easily.

not to mention……

They also heard that the eldest lady was going back to China.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen and the others felt a little sympathetic to their boss. The pressure at home was fine, but the key was that Chu Yang didn't seem to have that kind of intention towards Lu Xiuyuan.

Hey……

Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and saw Xiao Chen who was sighing silently again, he finally couldn't hold back, and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Xiao Chen didn't expect that Lu Xiuyuan would suddenly notice him, so he quickly sat upright and shook his head guiltily: "It's nothing." In the end, Xiao Chen added without silver 300 taels, "Some private matters..."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't even look at Xiao Chen, and only let out an inexplicable snort when he heard the words.

Xiao Chen: "..."

He knew that Lu Xiuyuan must have guessed what he was thinking, but he just didn't bother to talk about him.

From the day he learned that Chu Yang moved out, Lu Xiuyuan's mood has been in a very bad state, like a tight string, which has the possibility of breaking at any time, and it also makes the people below tremble, for fear of the broken string Bounce on yourself.

The car was still moving forward smoothly, the driver felt the low air pressure inside the car, and dared not take a breath.

Xiao Chen nervously rubbed his hands on his knees, and quietly looked at Lu Xiuyuan next to him, only to see that Lu Xiuyuan didn't take advantage of this time to work, but rested his chin with one hand, looking expressionlessly at the fast flashing outside the car window. past scenery.

His eyelids drooped slightly, his long eyelashes covered most of his pupils, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc.

Although Lu Xiuyuan usually showed people with a smile, when he was expressionless like now, there was always a hint of coldness in his breath.

Xiao Chen sighed secretly, and then looked away embarrassingly.

Originally, Lu Xiuyuan planned to go home first, but unexpectedly received a call from Xia Bei on the way, saying that Lu Guozhen had already heard the news of his return to China, and asked him to return to Lu's house immediately.

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at the dark sky outside the car window, and his tone became more difficult and a little impatient: "Tell Dad that I have something to do here, and I will go back to see you in two days."

Xia Bei was silent for a moment, and just when Lu Xiuyuan was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly asked: "Is what you are talking about going to Chu Yang?"

Lu Xiuyuan didn't deny it: "Yes."

Xia Bei said: "Don't look for him, you are not suitable."

Lu Xiuyuan rubbed his eyebrows, and clicked his tongue a little irritably: "Mom, don't you meddle in my business?"

Ever since he was a child, Lu Xiuyuan seldom spoke to Xia Bei with such an attitude. This time, Xia Bei's self-assertion really touched his bottom line, although he couldn't blame Xia Bei for this or do anything to her. , but he couldn't treat Xia Bei with a normal heart.

However, Xia Bei also knew her son well. She knew that Lu Xiuyuan was easy to talk to most of the time, but once he found something, even if he hit the south wall, he might not turn back.

"Xiuyuan, mother please, don't think about that child anymore, okay? You are not on the same road at all, if you continue to entangle, you will only waste each other's time." Xia Bei softened her tone and said almost pleadingly, "You come back first, we'll talk about the rest later, your father is in a bad mood recently, don't make him angry."

Lu Xiuyuan sighed: "Mom..."

"Come back." Xia Bei said, "Mom swears to you, I never felt sorry for that child, leaving was his voluntary choice..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Bei's voice suddenly lowered.

Someone seemed to come over to her, and that person said a few vague words to Xia Bei, and then, amidst Xia Bei's exclamation, the mobile phone was in that person's hand.

"Lu Xiuyuan! Your wings are so stiff that you don't even listen to my father, do you?!" Lu Guozhen said angrily, with a loud voice like a trumpet, "If you still recognize me as my father, get out now! Otherwise, never come back!"

After that, I hung up the phone.

Lu Xiuyuan slowly put down his phone, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Chen looking at him eagerly. Even the driver parked the car on the side of the road, waiting for his instructions. Obviously, both of them were startled by Lu Guozhen's voice just now.

"Let's go." Lu Xiuyuan said lightly, "Go back to Lu's house."

Winter skies darken early.

It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and when I got off the car, there was already a thick night with no end in sight.

Lu Zhai's villa was brightly lit, and laughter could be faintly heard.

Lu Xiuyuan walked in with a suit of wind and dust, and the servant rushed to greet him, trying to take his coat, but he waved his hand, indicating that he would leave soon.

The servant observed Lu Xiuyuan's expression and whispered, "Fourth young master, there are guests at home."

In short, it is impossible for Lu Xiuyuan to be released so soon.

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

The servant is not too clear: "It seems to be friends of the master and madam."

Lu Xiuyuan seemed to have guessed something, his brows were furrowed even more, he quickened his pace, and soon saw the couple sitting on the sofa chatting with Lu Guozhen, the laughter they heard just now came from them.

Xia Bei, who was sitting next to Lu Guozhen, was the first to notice Lu Xiuyuan's arrival. She seemed relieved, but the worry on her brows did not dissipate. She waved to Lu Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Xiuyuan is back."

As soon as these words came out, the chatting voices of Lu Guozhen and others stopped abruptly, and several people sitting on the sofa turned their heads to look over.

Lu Guozhen looked Lu Xiuyuan up and down, his face was livid, and he let out a slight snort from his nostrils, but considering that there were outsiders present, he didn't make it too obvious.

Instead, the couple stood up enthusiastically.

The couple are about the same age as Xia Bei, with well-dressed clothes and extraordinary manners. They can be seen from a rich family at first glance. The man is relatively reserved. When the woman looks at Lu Xiuyuan, the smile in her eyes almost overflows.

"Long time no see Xiuyuan." The woman said with a smile, "Maybe you don't even remember us."

The man next to him recalled: "The last time we saw him was more than 20 years ago. At that time, Xiuyuan was still a little carrot, not as tall as my knees."

Lu Xiuyuan suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Uncle Mo, Aunt Mo."

After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at the beautiful woman standing quietly behind the Mo couple, and greeted politely: "Miss Mo."

Mo Zi had a quiet personality, if it wasn't for someone who took the initiative to talk to her, she would have preferred to just sit on the sidelines without saying a word.

Just now when her parents were exchanging greetings with Lu Xiuyuan, she hid behind and observed Lu Xiuyuan quietly, but she didn't expect that Lu Xiuyuan's attention would suddenly turn to her, she was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her eyes to meet those deep eyes, I just felt a tightness in my throat.

"Brother Xiuyuan." Mo Zi shook her hair a little nervously, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you still haven't changed much."

It's really as cold as when I was a child...

Mo Zi thought to herself.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, it's time for us to eat." Lu Guozhen stood up, coughed twice, and glared at Lu Xiuyuan, "Your Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo knew that you were coming back today, so they came here specially to have a meal together. In the end, you are lucky, you have been waiting outside for so long, and let us wait for you alone."

"No." Mrs. Mo quickly said politely, "Our two families haven't spoken for a long time, so we happened to chat for a while."

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at the warm eyes of the Mo family couple, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Xia Bei naturally saw something, and while everyone was walking towards the restaurant, she quietly came to Lu Xiuyuan's side, took Lu Xiuyuan's arm, and begged in a low voice: "Don't go back tonight, your father will still be there later. I want to tell you something."

Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at Xia Bei's embarrassed expression. It was the first time that he rejected Xia Bei's indecisive character, and at the same time felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He asked, "Who called them here?"

Although the Lu family and the Mo family are family friends, the foundation of the Mo family moved to other cities 20 years ago, and the Mo family and his wife have always settled in that city. Will not meet in person.

In Lu Xiuyuan's memory, he often saw the three members of the Mo family when he was young, and later, even at Lu Guozhen's birthday party, he never met them face to face.

How could they come to visit suddenly at this juncture?

Lu Guozhen's little thought, even if he didn't say it, was clearly written on his face.

Xia Bei knew that her son was like a bright mirror in his heart, so she had no intention of hiding it, and explained softly: "Your father said that he is getting old and wants to gradually withdraw from the company. The only people in the family who can shoulder this burden are you." Brothers and sisters, your older brothers and sisters have already married and had children, and now it is your turn."

The corners of Lu Xiuyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and the temperature in his eyes was frighteningly low. He looked at Xia Bei coldly: "So he just called Mo Zi to marry me in a grand manner? Mo Zi and I are the cabbage for him to choose as a pair?"

Speaking of the latter, he couldn't help raising his voice.

"Keep your voice down!" Xia Bei quickly squeezed Lu Xiuyuan's arm, and stared at him a little annoyed, "What kind of cabbage is not cabbage? Your father did this for your own good. He has his concerns."
