What makes you think I will always like you?

Looking at the rising numbers on the elevator screen, Jiang Chao suddenly said: "Don't you think the idea of ​​'as long as I can be with you' is too unrealistic?"

Chen Lu turned his head and said nothing, waiting quietly for him to continue.

Jiang Chao seemed to be reminiscing about something, and suddenly raised his lips again, "Life is actually very materialistic. I have a childhood friend, and if his family can be richer, the three of us should be able to have a good time during college."

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, "Is it possible..."

"It's what you think. This world never talks about love and peace. If you don't have money, you can't do anything. There is also a post about my wife who died short of 10 yuan for medical treatment. You should have seen it before. This is Reality. You also used money to treat your girlfriend’s mother’s illness, so there’s no way you don’t understand.”

Jiang Chao breathed a deep sigh of relief, "So whether I want to make money or want to realize my dream and slap my father in the face, I can't let go..."

Girls and children can be childish, but men cannot.

Although it may be unlucky to say this, the hospital is not a charity and will never treat you for free just because you are pitiful.

Isn't Liang Zhirou's family pitiful enough? Isn't it true that Chen Lu only had the opportunity to treat her mother when she made money?

Her previous part-time job was so exhausting that she was dying, and who would take care of her?

Having more money means a better life, and no matter how beautiful love is, it must be based on a certain material foundation.

Companionship and affection cannot solve any problems.

If Chen Lu had no ability and was still a poor boy, what could he change after meeting Liang Zhirou?

Tenderness in that situation is worthless.

However, Jiang Chao just thought about these words in his heart and did not say them directly.

After all, even if he could think of it, Chen Lu could also think of it, so there was no need to talk too much between them.

"There is actually no conflict between you doing what you want to do and spending more time with Liu Yan." After a while, Chen Lu said in a deep voice.

This guy is now running away from home. He is not really short of money. The main reason why he can't let go is because he wants to pursue his dream.

"Chen Lu, not everyone is as smart as you."

Jiang Chao said seriously.

"Although you are not as good as me in socializing, you don't know how long it will take me to learn the problems you can solve easily. I don't have that much time at all."

"I know." Chen Lu nodded, "So the biggest problem between you and Liu Yan is that you don't understand each other. Try to get along slowly without breaking up."

With that said, the elevator stopped at the sixteenth floor, and Chen Lu walked out of the elevator with his pocket in his pocket.

Jiang Chao suppressed a bunch of questions and walked to the door.

Chen Lu knocked on the door twice, cleared his throat and said, "Takeaway!"

"What are you doing here?" Liu Yan obviously recognized his voice.

"I'm here to take my wife home!" Chen Lu turned his face to the cat's eyes and said with a chuckle.

Liu Yan opened the door and her face immediately turned cold when she saw Jiang Chao.

But she didn't close the door, leaving Jiang Chao with a dangling ponytail.

Jiang Chao blinked blankly and gave Chen Lu a thumbs up quietly.

To be precise, it was given to his girlfriend Liang Zhirou.

The two looked at each other, and then quickly got into the house together.

After Chen Lu entered the door, he saw Liang Zhirou sitting on the sofa and deliberately gave her a not-so-smart cross-eyed look.

Liang Zhirou was a little confused as to why Chen Lu was carrying a bag, but after looking at Liu Yan who looked away with an angry expression and Jiang Chao who looked a little embarrassed, she didn't have the nerve to ask.

She gritted her teeth to hold back her laughter and quickly turned her face away.

This person bullied her as soon as she walked in. It would be embarrassing to laugh.

Jiang Chao approached Liu Yan, and as soon as he put his hand on her shoulder, he was slapped down hard.

He was not annoyed and continued to put his hand up, "I was angry when you asked me that day. I swear, I will listen to you in the future."

This was his experience as a Neptune. When his girlfriend loses her temper, as long as her anger reaches a certain extreme level, she cannot give up skin-to-skin contact no matter how many times she is pushed away. If she can hold her in his arms, she must hold her in his arms. , once you are in your arms, it’s not too far away from being coaxed.

Liu Yan had been comforted for a long time, but now her anger has subsided a little.

She turned away and snorted hard, "I don't believe a word you say!"

"That's right, what are you bragging about? I know your virtues best!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Before Jiang Chao could speak, Chen Lu justly condemned him.

It wasn't over yet. He took out a paper contract from his bag and threw it on the coffee table with a bang.

"If you really want to have a good life with Liu Yan, just sign it and give up your management rights. You don't have to be busy in the future. I can arrange a leisurely job for you and just lie at home and wait for the money."

After Chen Lu finished speaking, the living room suddenly became silent.

Liu Yan's first reaction was that the two brothers were colluding. She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Chao's reaction, only to find that Jiang Chao's expression was even more exaggerated than hers.

It turned out that they really weren't colluding...

Jiang Chao was also stunned, "Are you serious?"

This was the first time he saw Chen Lu with such a cold expression. Thinking that Chen Lu had been looking so cold since he was in the car, he suddenly became more convinced.

Chen Lu's expression remained neither sad nor happy, "Of course it's true. Liu Yan is also a friend I've known for several years. You know what kind of character I am."

Liang Zhirou was startled by the sudden situation. She raised her head and looked at Chen Lu without saying anything.

Jiang Chao was about to scold Chen Lu for something wrong, but when he saw Liang Zhirou staring at Liu Yan, he unconsciously glanced back.

Seeing Liu Yan's haggard face and dark circles under her eyes, he froze again.

Liu Yan's tired and fragile look made him feel a little strange.

What about his girlfriend who is fearless?

Jiang Chao recalled it over and over again in his mind, but he really couldn't remember when Liu Yan slowly became like this.

Was it after her best friend left, or was it the law exam or graduation?

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had kept his eyes on her.

It has been too long since he spent every day reading reports at get off work and looking at documents after work.

Oh, this woman had been saying that she was going to reward her for her hard work in passing the law exam and take her on a trip.

Later, Liu Yan stopped mentioning it, and he still hasn’t fulfilled it.

The pressure of law exams and graduates who are new to work is something he has never experienced and cannot imagine. Otherwise there would be no reason for Liu Yan to suddenly become so clingy.

But what is he doing these days when Liu Yan needs him most?

It’s not easy to think about yourself.

Or maybe he is working so hard for her own good...

He stood sluggishly like a sculpture for a long time before he moved his somewhat stiff body. For the first time, he felt that his legs didn't even feel like his own.

Liu Yan seemed to have been saying something to him just now, but he didn't hear anything.

It seemed that he had heard it in his mind, but he couldn't remember anything.

The mute button that was pressed seemed to be canceled only now, and from this moment on, sounds gradually flowed into his ears.

"Why are you so dazed like a silly roe deer?"

"I won't take care of you if you lose your mind and go crazy."

Liu Yan became more and more annoyed as she talked.

"Jiang Chao! I obviously let you in, but you turned around and ignored me... How can you be so coaxing!"

Jiang Chao didn't respond. He just picked up the contract on the coffee table, glanced at it twice and put it back. He picked up the pen next to it to sign.

He didn't know why he was so determined. Maybe it was because his brain was hot, or maybe he suddenly figured it out.

It was decided by his parents when he was born, and he had no choice whether it was good or bad.

He didn't want to let the only girl in the world who could understand him suffer any injustice.

Anyway, Chen Lu and he were willing to take bullets from each other, so there was no way they would trick him.

Do a leisurely job and get a lot of money every month.

No one said that it was unhappy. This kind of life has exceeded that of countless people.

How many people in this world can really realize their dreams?

Let's leave things like starting a business to truly talented people like Chen Lu. He is too tired from leaving.

Jiang Chao firmly grasped the carbon pen in his hand, writing stroke by stroke as if saying goodbye to his childhood dream.

He didn't even write his name so carefully on the answer sheet for the college entrance examination.

Liu Yan only now fully realized the situation in front of her.

Having known each other for such a long time, it was impossible for her not to see that Jiang Chao's expressions and actions were true feelings.

This can't be acted out either.

The moment they looked at each other, Jiang Chao was not the only one to notice that the other person had dark circles, she also noticed it.

At this point, it no longer matters whether Chen Lu was deliberately trying to show her off.

She already knew Jiang Chao's choice.

If it was true, the two of them would be able to spend most of their time together. When she was tired of sorting out the files, she could still run to complain to Jiang Chao for a while.

Maybe Jiang Chao would finally have time to sit in the auditorium and watch her go to court in formal attire.

After the case is settled, they can go to many, many places, including snow-capped mountains, skiing, and the sea...

This was truly her dream life.

Is it really that easy to achieve?

After thinking about it, Liu Yan shook her head vigorously, and her eyes returned to the paper contract on the coffee table.

But this is Jiang Chao’s dream.

She couldn't be as considerate as Liang Zhirou, and she might never be able to completely sacrifice herself to support another person without hesitation in this life.

But at least she can do it without stopping.

"Okay, neither of you will act anymore. You are both habitual offenders. Who will believe you..." Liu Yan said coldly, her momentum in her words did not diminish at all, but several people looked sideways, she The tears on my cheeks had formed a line before I knew it.

She stubbornly wiped away her tears and said to Jiang Chao, "No signing."

"what?"

Jiang Chao had not yet recovered from his complicated thoughts and couldn't help but ask a question.

"I said no signing!"

"Oh, okay..." His answer was unusually dull. After a while, he asked again: "Are you not angry anymore?"

Liu Yan gritted her teeth fiercely. Why did Jiang Chao seem to have lost his mind today and did everything so slowly?

She bit her lower lip hard, "I want to eat Haidilao! Spend the money you earn!"

"Okay, my dream of being the leader of Polaris has been shattered again." Chen Lu shrugged, put the contract back into his bag, walked over and took Liang Zhirou's hand as if he were claiming a child, and said softly: "Let's go, no need. Send us.”

After rejecting Liu Yan's suggestion to go out to eat together, Chen Lu took Liang Zhirou to the door.

"You're not serious, are you?" Liang Zhirou asked in a low voice.

"of course not."

Chen Lu took out the contract and flipped through the pages in front of the girl.

The first two pages of the contract are extremely normal.

"You know what? In their eyes, the authenticity of this contract is actually not important anymore."

As Chen Lu spoke, he turned the contract to the penultimate page and pointed at a line in it.

[-]. Change of company authority.

From now on, the social relationship between Party B and Party A is changed to a parent-child relationship, and Party B needs to fulfill its obligation to support Party A. Without the consent of Party A, Party B shall not use any title other than father.

Chen Lu turned another page, and the last thing she saw was the almost finished word "Jiang Chao" at the signature.
