Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

As soon as the car arrived at the hotel, Le Yun saw Zhang Xiao waiting at the door.He looked down at his watch from time to time, and searched among the cars that had already started queuing to drop off passengers, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Leyun paid the fare and got off the bus and walked towards the hotel entrance.

When Zhang Xiao saw her, he immediately came up to her with a smile on his face.

When he saw clearly what Le Yun was wearing, his smile instantly faded and his brows wrinkled unnoticeably.But soon, he adjusted his mood, smiled tenderly at Le Yun, and reached out to support her like a gentleman.

"My dear, you look beautiful tonight." Zhang Xiao praised sincerely, "I was worried that you were too busy working to choose clothes, so I asked Dior to send the dress to your home. Did they have something wrong? Or are the clothes you chose not to your liking?”

"No." Le Yun smiled softly at him, "They sent the clothes as requested. You picked them well and the clothes are very beautiful."

While the two were talking, Zhang Xiao walked into the hotel lobby surrounded by Le Yun.

"My wife, there is no need to comfort me. The style I chose must not be good-looking enough to match my beautiful wife. It doesn't matter. Next time, let's go shopping together and I will pick out some clothes for my wife. In this way, It’s been a long time since we went shopping together.”

Hearing what Zhang Xiao said, a thunder suddenly exploded above Le Yun's head.

She suddenly remembered that the last time she went shopping with Zhang Xiao, she ran into Fan Ying in the mall.Looking back now, Zhang Xiao's expression was a little uncomfortable.But not only did he not notice it at all, he warmly invited Fan Ying to join him, and the three of them even had dinner and drank coffee together.

I am so stupid.

Le Yun thought to herself, as if a movie was playing in her mind, scenes of three people eating, drinking, talking and laughing quickly flashed through her mind.She had to admit that if she was still kept in the dark, even if the video was put in front of her and she watched it carefully, it would be difficult to find any flaws.

The person who cheats can really win an Oscar for his acting skills.

Thinking of this, her tone couldn't help but become colder.

"No need. New clothes are beautiful, but I prefer to wear old ones. I feel more comfortable wearing them now."

Zhang Xiao heard something in her words, and was afraid of making the atmosphere even more tense on an occasion like today, so he wisely said nothing more.

The two arrived at the venue quickly.

Since Zhang Xiao's success in starting a business, Le Yun has also participated in some of these gatherings where wealth and wealth gather and are full of money and power.

There was nothing special about today's charity dinner except that the theme attracted her.If I must say it, it is that the venue is more beautiful, the people attending are more famous and have a higher social status.

Le Yun is not very keen on this kind of occasion.According to her experience, most of the women who appear on such occasions serve as foils for the male guests and as vases at the banquet.Dressing up and looking glamorous is just to make your male companion more respectable and to make the most beautiful vase at the banquet.

Rather than competing with other women, what she cares more about is the extent to which this dinner can help those seriously ill children in need.

Le Yun accompanied Zhang Xiao to socialize for a while, but the distant appearance made this social interaction even more difficult.So, she told Zhang Xiao that she was a little tired and wanted to rest alone for a while.Under the current circumstances, Zhang Xiao naturally did not dare to force herself and allowed her to walk and hang out on her own.

After being separated from Zhang Xiao, Le Yun felt that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.She was woken up by the shopping guide in the morning and had barely eaten anything until now. Le Yun felt a little hungry.

She came to the dessert area. The desserts of this hotel are famous in Bencheng.Le Yun picked up a piece of chocolate mousse cake that looked very tempting and started to eat it.

The taste of chocolate is very mellow, there is a faint fragrance of truffle in the cake, and the light texture of the mousse cake makes Le Yun feel relieved a lot.

Not far from her, several women were gathering together to chat. The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough to reach Le Yun's ears clearly.

A woman wearing a red tight skirt said to the others mysteriously: "Did you know? I heard that Mr. Lu's new girlfriend will also appear tonight."

"Mr. Lu?" Another woman in a light blue dress asked with confusion, "Which Mr. Lu?"

"Of course it's President Lu Yinlu of Hitotsubashi Group! Who else can there be?" The red dress said with disdain, as if he was mocking Americans for not knowing Washington.

"New girlfriend? Is she the female star who just won the award who was photographed last time?" The person who spoke was covered in diamond jewelry. Her body twisted and shone under the light in a way that made people blind.

"What! Your news is too late." The red tight skirt pouted, "The female star who was photographed is already in the past."

She lowered her voice and said: "This time, it is said that this is a model who has just debuted. I heard from my friends that Mr. Lu is very attentive to her and uses his own connections to help her get a lot of resources. But -"

The tight-fitting red skirt paused pretending to be mysterious, which aroused the appetite of others. Seeing everyone's eager and longing eyes, she revealed with satisfaction: "I heard that Mr. Lu's mother doesn't like this young girl." Mo, I have already made it known that it is absolutely impossible for her to enter the Lu family."

"Hi," Diamond Girl lowered her head to admire the crystal manicure she had specially made for the dinner, and said in a free and easy manner: "It's not that easy to marry into a rich family. Let's talk about Mr. Lu. It is rumored that he has been dating domestically and abroad. All the women who have been there could form a team to participate in the Olympic Games.

Basically no one stayed together for more than a year, the average was three months, and they broke up when they got tired of it.Even if the Empress Dowager of the Lu family approves, the difficulty of getting Mr. Lu to hand over his freedom willingly is probably even greater than when Monk Tang and his disciples went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.Tang Monk had to go through 81 difficulties to become a Buddha. When he fell in love with Mr. Lu, he went through 980 difficulties. I am afraid that he might not be able to become a dignified Mrs. Lu. "

"I think so." The woman in the blue skirt on the side answered, "What age are we in now! It's just a love affair, who said it has to be for the purpose of getting married! Besides, Mr. Lu is very talented and generous. With him, After dating for a few months, we gained fame, wealth, talent and beauty. No one suffered, and everyone was not stupid. Everyone got what they needed. Especially those in the entertainment industry, they can also rely on big trees to get good resources. In a sentence Words: winwin.”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone nodded, and then started gossiping about other people.

Le Yun ate the melon while eating the dessert, which she found interesting.

Looking back on the two meetings between herself and Lu Yin, she felt a little ridiculous.It seems that my judgment of the famous Hitotsubashi Group CEO is not too biased. Even if this person is not a "perverted nymphomaniac", he is still a swinger who hangs around in the flowers.

To be honest, if Chen Zonghan hadn't been insisting that the whole company must regard Hitotsubashi Group as their most important customer, she might not even bother to socialize with someone like Lu Yin.

However, Le Yun still felt a trace of sadness in her heart when she thought of what the group of women had just said about Lu Yin's "having both wealth and sex" and "everyone getting what he needs".

It's not because of Lu Yin, I just think since when can we treat relationships with such a casual and playful attitude.

Maybe I am really an old-school person, and I can only fall behind the emotional boldness and indulgence of this era.

Then, she thought with some self-deprecation, maybe carpe diem and only look at the present is the correct attitude towards feelings.In this way, at least there won't be any heartbreaking sadness when it's time to break up.

On the contrary, if you love too seriously, you will only end up hurting yourself.

The charity auction is about to begin, and everyone is taking their seats one after another.

Le Yun began to look for Zhang Xiao in the venue.

Scanning the corner of the venue, she saw Zhang Xiao's profile.She walked over quickly, and just a step away, she stopped -

"who's that person?!"

Le Yun froze in place. She saw Zhang Xiao almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence.

With the curtains blocking her, she couldn't see who was with Zhang Xiao.

"Don't be angry. He is an important customer of the company." It was a woman's voice, which sounded extremely conciliatory. "I told the company leaders that I didn't want to come, but they didn't agree. They said that as an employee of the company, I must obey the arrangements. .”

The originally warm venue seemed to suddenly become as cold as an ice cellar, and Le Yun felt that all the blood in her body was frozen.

That voice - it's Fan Ying.

"I've told you many times to resign and stop doing it. You don't have to worry about money. I can give it to you."

Le Yun heard Fan Ying sigh.

"Zhang Xiao, I know you can give me money now. But how long will you give me? One year? Two years? Three years? Or five years? Do you know that since you left my house last time, you have not Contact me again. I know that I am not qualified to blame you, because I have told you a long time ago that I do not want to destroy your family, let alone make you make any choices.

From beginning to end, my love for you is just my own business and has nothing to do with you.But, I need this job, I have to support myself.I don't want to put any burden on you.I……"

Le Yun didn't want to hear any more, so she turned around suddenly.

At this time, a waiter carrying a tray with several cocktails on it happened to pass by her.

There was no time to dodge, and the crystal cup in the tray hit the floor with a crisp cracking sound.

Staggering, Le Yun's body lost balance and fell backwards...

In the blink of an eye, someone held her up.

Leyun stood firm, turned her face, and faced Lu Yin's face.His right hand was holding his waist, and his eyes were full of concern.

The venue suddenly became extremely quiet, and Le Yun felt everyone's eyes shooting towards her like arrows.

Not far away, Zhang Xiao looked stunned. He didn't even realize that Fan Ying's hand was tightly held in his.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on them, Fan Ying deliberately leaned towards Zhang Xiao, looking at Le Yun with obvious provocation.

Lu Yin looked at Zhang Xiao and Fan Ying, then at Le Yun, and understood everything in an instant.

The crowd began to whisper, buzzing like a bee flapping its wings, making Le Yun feel like her own nerves were also resonating with it.It seemed that the next second, together with the whole world, would be shattered and collapsed.She couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out of the venue regardless of everyone's curious and amusing looks.

"Leyun!"

Zhang Xiao's voice sounded behind him, so close yet yet so far away.

Le Yun didn't look back and ran straight to the intersection.

There was no one chasing behind him. It seemed that Zhang Xiao did not follow him out.

She didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel sorry for herself.

Taxis passed by one after another, and among all the passengers, there was no one empty.

Le Yun took out her mobile phone and prepared to call a taxi using the app.She found that her hands were trembling, like fallen leaves blowing in the wind in late autumn.

"Lawyer Le!"

A Porsche Panamera stopped in front of her, and someone got out of the driver's seat and walked up to her.

Le Yun took a closer look and was immediately surprised——

The person who came turned out to be Lu Yin.

"Lawyer Le, it's difficult to get a car at this time here. I'll give you a ride." As he said that, he opened the car door.

"No need, I can do it myself." Le Yun felt her upper and lower teeth constantly colliding, and she even heard a gurgling sound.

Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and the phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.The cracks quickly spread from one point to the entire screen, like streaks of lightning.

Le Yun was stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at the cell phone on the ground, without any intention of reaching out to pick it up.It was as if her spirit had been separated from her body, and her soul was blown away by the wind like a kite with its string cut off, leaving only an empty shell.

Lu Yin bent down and picked up the mobile phone on the ground, and helped Le Yun put it away.

He didn't say anything more. Instead, he held Le Yun's arm tightly with the strength and attitude that he could not refuse, almost half pushing and half holding her, placed her in the back row, and carefully helped her fasten her seat belt.

Returning to the driver's seat, Lu Yin adjusted the angle of the rearview mirror to make sure he could see Le Yun in the back row, and then started the engine.

Soon, the light of the car lights disappeared into the night.

Le Yun was sitting in the back seat, her head pressed against the car window, and she didn't change her position for a long time.

Gradually, the cold air outside the window made her forehead numb with cold, just like her heart.

Looking up from the car window, the familiar scenery outside the window quickly receded.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something:

"Is this driving towards my home? How do you know where my home is?" Le Yun finally said her first words after getting in the car, and Le Yun felt that her throat was a little dry.

Lu Yin smiled. He looked at Le Yun in the rearview mirror and said only four words——

"Bincheng is not big."

Soon, the car stopped downstairs at Leyun's house.

10 minutes passed and neither of them moved.

"I'll take you up." Finally, Lu Yin said.

"No need, I can do it myself." With that said, Le Yun opened the car door.

Before getting off the car, she said to Lu Yin: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'm sorry for causing you any trouble." After that, she got out of the car neatly and returned home without looking back.

The moment the door closed, Le Yun did not turn on the light in the living room.

In the darkness, she walked to the large French window and looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window.

When she first moved into this house, Le Yun's favorite thing to do was to make a cup of coffee after a day's work, stand in front of the window, and watch the night scenery of Bincheng.

Especially the light from the building opposite.

She always felt that behind every window, there was a family's fireworks life.Such laughter and tenderness were just like her and Zhang Xiao's home.

Although as a lawyer, she has seen a lot of the insidiousness, evil, and misery in the world, but because these have not happened to her, she feels that all of them are so far away from her.After all, my life is filled with happiness and contentment.

It was only now that she was trapped in a nightmare, unable to escape or wake up, that she realized deeply:

Perhaps, in those bright lights, there is not only laughter, but also pain and unbearability.

Recalling the scene at the dinner just now, she felt her legs weaken and she fell to the ground.

Tears poured down, flowing freely down his cheeks.

She no longer restrained and suppressed, and allowed her emotions to be released overwhelmingly.

In the darkness, she felt a long-lost sense of security.There is no need to worry about anyone's opinions anymore, and there is no need to force yourself to hold on.

She felt a storm of emotions coming over her, swallowing her whole in an instant.

She gave up her resistance and allowed herself to drift with the tide. The past flashed before her eyes like smoke and dust:

On the high school campus, Zhang Xiao, wearing a white shirt, smiled brightly at her in the sunshine...

Before the winter vacation in college, Zhang Xiao crossed the street, walked towards her, and held her hand...

At their wedding, she wore a white wedding dress, and Zhang Xiao hugged her from behind.She smiled, leaning her head against his shoulder.Surrounded by blessings from relatives and friends...

Zhang Xiao's voice came from Fan Ying's home on the phone receiver...

At the dinner party, in full view of everyone, Zhang Xiao held Fan Ying's hand...

Fan Ying smiled at her and suddenly turned into a green-faced and fanged monster. He rushed through the door, opened his sharp claws, and tore her home apart piece by piece...

Le Yun took a breath and struggled hard to stand up.but

But her body refused to obey her orders, and her consciousness gradually began to blur. Everything around her began to flip and flip...
