The call was from Mo Sang.

"Boss, the boss lady is still taking off her makeup at SK's studio. She said she won't be back for dinner tonight and it might be late, so she asked you not to wait for her."

Yan Chengzhi became depressed again.

He thought of Lu Jinnan from SK, who looked pretty good and had a successful career.

But there is one thing that is particularly annoying - I like to pretend to be young!

Lu Jinnan was obviously three or four years younger than him, but standing next to him, he always looked much younger.

Even though Ming Yue had said that his aura was too strong, making it impossible for others to show any composure in front of him.

This kind of thing sounded very pleasant to my ears before.

Looking back now, wasn't it just a roundabout way of saying he was old?

Yan Chengzhi was very unhappy.

He personally called Lu Mingyue, "Wouldn't the ceremony end at six o'clock? Why don't you go home for dinner?"

Lu Mingyue explained there: "Because I want to have a meal with the SK staff, just to be happy."

At this award ceremony, the work she collaborated with Lu Jinnan won the grand prize. Although it was not a particularly important award in Lu Jinnan's opinion, it was a big step for Mingyue to go international.

Although the staff did not participate, it is appropriate for the boss to receive awards and treat employees to a meal.

Yan Chengzhi muttered: "Lu Jinnan is the boss, not you, why are you joining in the fun?"

Lu Mingyue didn't hear what he said clearly, but she heard Lu Jinnan calling her over there, and said quickly, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'll talk about it when I come back tonight."

Yan Chengzhi hung up the phone with a long face.

Lu Mingyue is still wearing a floor-length dress, which seems inappropriate for attending a celebration banquet. She originally wanted to change back to her original outfit.

As a result, when I returned to the studio, I met the young girl squatting outside the door again.

This little girl is also very tenacious. For two years, she has come to see Lu Jinnan almost every time she has time.

Lu Jinnan went from driving her away with a stern face at the beginning, to being helpless at the end, and now he is used to it.

Sometimes after not seeing her for a long time, he would ask, "Lingxiu hasn't been here for a while?"

The little girl's name is Chu Lingxiu.

Although her parents didn't treat her well, the name they gave her was quite nice.

Today is a rainy day, and the little girl's shoes are dirty, and she is squatting on the ground feeling at a loss.

Lu Mingyue asked the clerk to bring a wet wipe to clean her shoes.

After cleaning her shoes, the little girl folded the paper towel carefully, as if she was reluctant to throw it away.

Lu Mingyue was inevitably a little sad.

She handed her the whole pack of wet wipes and asked with concern: "You have been coming here so often in the past two years, don't you have anything of your own to do?"

Chu Lingxiu said quickly: "I have something to do!"

"I won't miss any class."

"Also, there are many food stalls in Fengqing Street at night. I wash dishes for them, and I earn more than 100 yuan a night."

This is a good girl who is optimistic and lives a positive life.

Lu Mingyue had chatted with her several times in the past two years, and already understood why she kept following Lu Jinnan.

Chu Lingxiu and Nong Xueying were from the same village.

But she was not as lucky as Nong Xueying.

Her parents gave birth to six daughters before they had one son, which was an incredible treasure.

Chu Lingxiu ranked fifth and was the prettier among the six sisters. She had just turned eighteen two years ago. As soon as the college entrance examination was over, her father accepted a bride price from a man in a neighboring village to marry her off.

The bride price of 66,000 yuan was considered extremely generous in that village. Her father said that he would use the money to send his son to a noble school.

Chu Lingxiu knew that the man who wanted to marry her was already in his forties. Because of his violent and eccentric personality, no one was willing to marry him.

She had just finished high school at the time and her grades were not yet available, but she estimated that she could at least get a higher grade.

As a result, her parents pressured her to get married. She was so desperate that she wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide. Lu Jinnan's parents happened to pass by and rescued her.

After understanding the situation, Uncle Lu refunded the bride price for her.

Later, Uncle Lu asked his son's opinion about finding a good school for her brother, and her father gave up and stopped marrying her.

From then on, Chu Lingxiu regarded herself as a member of the Lu family and helped with work at Uncle Lu's house every day.

Although Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu liked the little girl very much, the little girl was so young that she couldn't be allowed to stay at home all the time. So when the scores came out and he found that she did well, he offered to pay her tuition so that she could go to college first.

Chu Lingxiu went to university in Jinghai.

She knew that it was Lu Jinnan who helped pay the betrothal gift, and that he was also the one who helped her brother find a school, so after asking around for the location of the studio, she came to find him.

Lu Jinnan didn't expect that just because of his temporary kindness, he would actually help someone who refused to leave no matter how hard he tried to drive him away.

Although he had a headache, Lu Mingyue quite liked the little girl.

Lu Mingyue looked at her bright eyes and couldn't help but said: "You are much younger than Lu Jinnan, how come you think you are his wife?"

Chu Lingxiu replied seriously: "He paid back the bride price for me, which means he gave me the bride price. Then I will be his for the rest of my life."

Lu Mingyue asked again: "But have you ever thought that Lu Jinnan doesn't like you at all. You are too young and not suitable for him. If you come here every day, it will put a lot of pressure on him."

Chu Lingxiu felt a little sad, lowered her head and whispered: "I know."

After a while, she raised her head again, her eyes bright, "Then I won't be his wife. I can help him cook, wash clothes, mop the floor, and do any housework for him!"

"No matter what I do, I will always repay him."

Lu Mingyue sighed and said nothing more.

Lu Jinnan sat on the sofa not far away and remained silent.

Lu Mingyue walked over to him and sat down, spreading her hands helplessly, "You heard it too, this girl is honest and I can't persuade her."

Lu Jinnan was obviously a little upset, "Forget it, don't think about this for now."

He looked at the dress Ming Yue was wearing and said, "By the way, I've prepared some clothes for you. Go and change them to see if they suit you."

Lu Mingyue went in and changed her clothes and came out.

Chu Lingxiu was still sitting on the steps outside.

For two years, she has never dared to walk into SK's studio, fearing that Lu Jinnan would think she was presumptuous and ignorant.

Lu Mingyue couldn't help feeling pity when she saw her back was thin and small, looking lonely.

"Leo, why don't you bring Chu Lingxiu to the celebration party?"

She could see that Lu Jinnan was actually a little soft-hearted towards the little girl, but he didn't know what was wrong with him, and he always refused to talk to her calmly and properly.

Lu Jinnan subconsciously felt annoyed again.

But Lu Mingyue said: "Look, it's already dark. It's not safe for the little girl to go back to school alone. How about you arrange a driver to take her back?"

Lu Jinnan didn't know what he was thinking of. He frowned and said softly: "Let her go with you."

Chu Lingxiu seemed particularly happy when she heard that she could go to dinner with Lu Jinnan.

When she arrived in front of the Xuan Palace Hotel, she asked in a low voice: "Sister Mingyue, can I sit next to you then?"

She had never been able to have a full meal since she was a child, let alone come to such a bright and gorgeous place.

Lu Mingyue could see her restraint and patted the back of her hand, "Don't be nervous, you will stay with me when the time comes."
