The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Zhang Xueren looked at Lu Qing's tearful eyes and knew that he was being rude again.

He shouldn't show his pain, loneliness and longing, as this would make Lu Qing suffer as well. It's enough for one person to be sad, why should he let Lu Qing see this heart-wrenching pain?

So even though he had no appetite at the moment, he still replaced the black coffee with milk, and ate it patiently along with the scones.

This was the first time in so many years that Lu Qing spent so much time with Zhang Xueren. They talked about a lot, including work, life, family, and friends. The two chatted incessantly and wished that time would not pass.

It was not until Lu Qing's colleagues came back that the two realized they had been talking for the entire afternoon.

Xue Ren stood up and stretched out his hand to say goodbye. Lu Qing held his hand. The once intimate lovers could now only feel each other's body temperature through etiquette.

Zhang Xueren went back, and his colleagues were all wondering who this handsome man was. His scholarly demeanor was so charming, and the deep melancholy in his eyes made people think a lot.

Ding Yingzhen and Dr. Chang bought a lot of things and brought a lot of gifts for Lu Qing. They wanted to take Lu Qing back to the room to open the gifts, but they saw her sitting there, looking in the direction where Zhang Xueren left, not knowing what she was thinking.

The two walked up to her, and Dr. Chang said softly, "Don't sit for too long, your waist muscles will get tired easily."

Ding Yingzhen also said, "Go back and have a rest, and unwrap the gifts we gave you."

In fact, both of them could see that something was not right between Lu Qing and Zhang Xueren, but they didn't have the heart to make fun of Lu Qing about it.

Sad people have their own aspirations. What don’t they understand at their age?

The next morning, accompanied by colleagues from the Legal Department and the company's American lawyers, and witnessed by colleagues from both sides, Lu Qing formally signed a full set of contracts for the R&D, layout and maintenance of the "Future Town" new energy with Weisker.

After signing the contract and completing the ceremony, the technicians began to answer questions from the media.

Weiske invited Lu Qing to take a walk in the sky garden on the roof.

Huaisike sent away the followers around him. Lu Qing knew that he had something private to talk about, so she signaled Ding Yingzhen and the others not to follow him.

When they reached a sea of ​​hydrangeas, Lu Qing asked, "Mr. Weisker, do you have anything else to say or to advise me?"

"No, the official business has been discussed. Miss Lin, can I make a request of you? A personal one?"

"please say."

"You'd better look at something first." Weisker handed Lu Qing a piece of music. Although Lu Qing had learned piano, it was just a hobby. She couldn't even play the accompaniment for pop songs well. What was the point of asking her to look at the music score?

Lu Qing opened the folder and the first page was the name of the music score "Adagio for Strings". Lu Qing looked confused and asked, "Is this the piece you want to play?"

"Yes, I want to ask if you know if this piece of music has another name?"

"I really don't know this, please enlighten me."

“Sadness beyond words.”

"Really? Then I'll check it out myself."

Weisker was speechless. "I mean the name of the piece is: Too Sad to Express."

Weisker said seriously, "Xueren is my best friend. We have only known each other for half a year, but I have decided to be friends with him for life. Our ideas, values, and hobbies are very similar. He never cares how much money I have. When I am with him, I feel like I am just an ordinary person."

Lu Qing asked directly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Xue Ren's health is getting worse and worse. He needs a lot of alcohol to fall asleep at night, and when he wakes up, he drinks one cup of strong coffee after another. Sometimes he only eats one meal a day. During the band rehearsal, he and I played a duet, and he chose this song that was so sad that it was beyond words. I can feel his mood getting worse and worse during every rehearsal. Ms. Lin, I know it's presumptuous of me to say this, but I hope you can persuade him. If he continues like this, his health will be ruined!"

Lu Qing had just seen Xue Ren yesterday. Although she felt that he was a little thin, she didn't expect it to be so serious. Lu Qing looked around, found a big rock to sit on, and her mood fell to the bottom.

"It's all my fault. I can't deny the blame. I really thought Xue Ren would slowly get over it over time, but I didn't expect him to be so affectionate. Alas! He is such a big fool and idiot, so stupid, the biggest idiot in the world! I really want to beat him up!" Lu Qing started talking nonsense in anger.

Huaisike patted Lu Qing's shoulder and said, "Ms. Lin, you and I have the same goal. I don't think you want to lose Xue Ren, your good friend. He went to see you yesterday and he looked much better when he came back. I went to find him to sing the song again, but he was already asleep. It's rare that he didn't drink. So, I think he can still listen to what you say."

Lu Qing nodded, "Do you have his address?"

"The address and password are all sent to your phone."

Lu Qing attended Sky's welcome lunch at noon. Huaisike accompanied her the whole time. People around him were whispering, wondering who Lin Lu Qing was to have the big boss accompany her personally and take care of her the whole time.

Some people even speculated whether Lin Luqing was Weisker's new Asian lover. After all, both of his marriages have ended, and his current boss is a golden bachelor.

Lu Qing was supposed to return to China in the evening, but after thinking it over, she postponed the trip.

The excuse was to allow the technical staff to reconnect with Sky. Weisker and Lu Qing had a tacit understanding and agreed with Lu Qing that it would be best for both sides to get familiar with each other before the project officially started.

Lu Qing and Ding Yingzhen said they were going to visit a friend, and asked the hotel to provide a car to go all the way to the professorial residential area at Caltech.

This is a typical American house, a single-family house with a beautiful garden. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. Lu Qing waited in the garden for a while, and then she heard music coming from the house. After thinking about it, she decided to open the door with the password.

The layout of the house is simple but also very artistic.

Walking into the living room, Lu Qing saw Xue Ren lying on the sofa, an empty bottle of Macallan on the coffee table, and a sad song still playing on a loop on the stereo.

Yesterday Xue Ren was wearing a suit jacket and it was hard to see clearly. Today he was only wearing a shirt and trousers. Lu Qing could see clearly that he was very thin.

Xueren was a tall and thin type to begin with, and now he looked even more emaciated. Lu Qing suppressed her heartache and decided to scold Zhang Xueren hard today. As for now, let him have a good sleep first.

Lu Qing changed into the slippers at the door, rolled up her sleeves, put away the wine bottles and sundries, hung up Xue Ren's coat, put a few dirty clothes into the washing machine, and walked to the kitchen to make a simple meal. However, the kitchen was so clean that there were only a few slices of dry bread and a few eggs in the refrigerator.

Seeing that Xue Ren was sleeping soundly, Lu Qing changed her shoes and went out. She bought some vegetables, fruits, pork ribs, milk and some ingredients at the Chinese supermarket near the school, then went back and started to work quietly in the kitchen.
