As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky red, Lu Canran leaned her head against the car window and looked out lazily.
He was supposed to go back tomorrow, but his mother, Ms. Tan Lingmei, heard from somewhere that Chi Xu would be back today, and strictly demanded that he and Chi Xu go back together.
At this time, he and Chi Xu were in the same carriage, sitting in the back seat, as if separated by the Chu River and Han border.
The car drove steadily and slowly, as if caring for Lu Canran's mood.
The Lu family, the top wealthy family in Ningcheng, is currently headed by Lu Canran's father, Lu Zhengqi.There are two sons and one daughter under the name, the eldest son and the eldest daughter are born to the original spouse of the same name, and the youngest son is from the second wife, Tan Lingmei, who was a popular actress in her early years.
When a popular actress marries into a top wealthy family, it was also a very popular event in those days. It made the headlines of the news, and even today it is still mentioned from time to time. Needless to say, there are some malicious speculations.
Lu Canran watched the passing scenery with her eyes, her thoughts had already flown.
From Chi Xu's perspective, he could only see half of his side face and his head covered by warm brown soft short hair.
Clean, soft, with a hint of sweetness.
It was just an illusion, Chi Xu looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then turned his gaze away as if nothing had happened.
The car passed through the courtyard gate, came to a slow stop, and the door was pulled open.
Lu Canran collected her thoughts and stepped out of the car.For some reason, the luxurious and bright small building in front of him faintly made him feel oppressed.
"Young master, Madam is waiting for you in the study." Just as she stepped up the steps, the housekeeper came over and said to Lu Canran.
Lu Canran nodded, walked through the living room, and went up the spiral staircase.
"Master Chi, dinner will be ready soon. Take a break first. I'll ask Xiaofang to bring you some fruit. Today's strawberries are very fresh." The butler had a smile on his face, much more cordial than when he was with Lu Canran .
"Thank you Uncle Li, don't bother me." Chi Xu slightly curled the corner of his lower lip, his expression softened, and he went upstairs after speaking.
As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Lu Canran wandering around, not knowing what he was doing.
Chi Xu endured it, but still asked, "What are you doing?"
Thinking of what the steward said just now, Chi Xu said again: "Don't dare to go over?"
Hearing the voice, Lu Canran stopped in her tracks, turned to face him, and said truthfully, "Maybe I'm not sober yet, so I can't remember where my mother's study is."
Chi Sequence: "..."
After a brief silence, just when Lu Canran decided that Chi Xu would ignore him, Chi Xu said in a dark and complicated manner: "Go straight and turn left, the first room on the left."
Lu Canran was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, she said "Thank you", her ears burning.Without waiting for Chi Xu to say anything else, he quickly slipped away.
Chi Xu stayed in place for a while, thinking of something, his face a little ugly.
According to the instructions, Lu Canran arrived at the door of the study very quickly, really panicking.Not only because of having to face a strange mother, but also because this mother is a bit difficult to deal with.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Canran raised her hand and knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and entered.
In the room illuminated by incandescent lamps, in front of a dark wooden desk, sits a woman in a dark green cheongsam, her long black curly hair is loose, one side is pulled behind her ear, revealing a beautiful face, the light and shadow fall on Her body seemed to be frozen, hazy and elegant.
Lu Canran didn't even dare to speak first, didn't dare to make a sound.
It was quiet in the study, only the sound of pages being turned.
It took a long time before Lu Canran heard her say, "Of course, do you know why I called you back?"
She looked up, there was no trace of age on her face, it was gentle and gentle but made people dare not relax.
Lu Canran couldn't help but raise her heart, and responded obediently: "Mom is afraid that I will lose my mind by playing with things."
Tan Lingmei put in an exquisite bookmark without haste, closed the book and put it aside, showing her face gently: "Yes, you know it too."
"Of course, do you know what day it is today?" Tan Lingmei asked.
Lu Canran was silent, "It's my birthday."
"What about yesterday?" Tan Lingmei asked again.
"Big brother's birthday." Lu Canran lowered his head as he spoke, he understood Tan Lingmei's intentions, to fight against education and let him fight.
Tan Lingmei's smile deepened, "Your elder brother's birthday is celebrated every year, and few people remember your birthday. You are all children of the Lu family, why?"
Obviously it didn't happen to him, Lu Canran still had a sore nose when he heard it, so he said slowly, "Because my father doesn't like me, and my mother is also very disappointed in me."
"Of course, useless people don't deserve to be valued, and they don't have the right to be wronged." Tan Lingmei's expression turned cold suddenly, "I won everything for you, good background and education, good-looking skin. The rest You have to fight for yourself."
From childhood to adulthood, his mother's education for him was competition.Why fight?Only by fighting can you be liked and valued.However, does he want it?Nobody cares.
Lu Canran lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing his useless appearance, Tan Lingmei became angry, and was about to reprimand him, when he raised his head, looked straight at her with moist and clear eyes, and said with some difficulty: "Mom, do you love me?" me?"
Tan Lingmei was stunned and did not answer for a long time.
"Mom, I don't care if other people remember my birthday or wish me well. The only thing I look forward to is you." Lu Canran said slowly.
After a while, Lu Canran continued: "Mom, I almost forgot about myself." After wearing the mask for a long time, the original face became blurred.
Lu Canran walked up to Tan Lingmei, leaned over and hugged him, and said softly, "Mom, I will work hard and make you feel safe."
For a while, there was silence until there was a knock on the door.
Lu Canran stood up straight, smiled slightly, her eyes were still a little bright, "Mom, it's time to eat."
Tan Lingmei's expression was very complicated, as if she was meeting her son for the first time, with all kinds of thoughts in her mind, she sat quietly and did not move for a long time.
Lu Canran took the initiative to go forward to help her, and went to the restaurant with her.
Tan Lingmei loves Lu Canran, but this love is distorted due to various reasons.She fought for the best for her son, wanted him to be loved and surrounded, not to be like her, just in the wrong way.
-
Early the next morning, Lu Canran was called out by the servant.
Today is a working day, and he has to go to work in the company.
Just as he was packing up and going downstairs, he noticed a small dark blue box on the bedside table, which was not there last night.
Lu Canran opened the box, and there was a pair of exquisite cufflinks lying inside. Under the sunlight, the dark blue gemstones shone with fragments of light.
With a slight smile on the corner of her lips, Lu Canran took it out and put it on for herself before going downstairs.
Everyone was there in the restaurant. After Lu Canran said hello one by one, she sat down next to Tan Lingmei, and the empty seat in the middle was late. He left early and usually didn't have breakfast together.
At the dinner table, Lu Jingyun stabbed him as usual, and the head of the family, Lu Zhengqi, still had a straight face, only being kind to the other two children.
Already mentally prepared, Lu Canran was not at all depressed, and enjoyed the food in a good mood, her eyes curled up.
Tan Lingmei was still a little unhappy at first, and tried to talk to the father and son to blend in with the three of them. Her eyes touched the brilliance on Lu Canran's wrist, and she lowered her head to eat with an unnatural expression.
It didn't take long for everyone to eat, leave the table, and prepare to go to the company.
"Mom, I'm off to work." Lu Canran said with a smile.
Tan Lingmei nodded, turned and went upstairs.
Her attitude was neither cold nor cold, but she was much better, at least she did not continue the reprimand from last night, and the change did not happen overnight.
After driving to the company, 5 minutes earlier than the clock-in time, Lu Canran sat down at his desk, checked the information on the computer, and some email records to confirm his position and responsibilities.
He is now the company's investment specialist, and his daily work is just doing odd jobs, and because of his status, no one really assigns him work.At least on the surface it seems so.
To be left idle means to be isolated from power. It's hard to say that it was not intentional. It's just a matter of watching others order dishes. Everyone knows that Lu Zhengqi's preferred heir is the eldest son Lu Jingxiao.
However, Lu Canran has no intention of fighting for power, interest is one thing, and it is true that it is not necessary.People's things, I really don't want to give them to you, and you can't do anything about them.
The whole morning passed quickly, Lu Canran finished reading all the materials stored in the computer, and had a few games to play.
Feeling sleepy after lunch, Lu Canran took the cup to the tea room and prepared to make a cup of coffee.As soon as he walked to the door, he heard someone talking about him inside. The two female employees chatted with each other with great interest.
"I'm so envious, you can fish in a fair and honest way."
"There's nothing to envy. It's really uncomfortable for me to be idle every day. Who doesn't want to exercise their abilities when they work."
"You are a rich man, you can just lie down."
"Come on, it's the young master now, not necessarily in the future. Don't you know that his mother has signed a prenuptial agreement? Director Lu has been on guard for a long time."
"Ah? Then, then you won't get anything later, right? The company doesn't have a place for him."
"Isn't that right, Mr. Xiao Lu and Missy both promoted the manager within a year after they joined the company, and he's still a small employee, so it's clear that Mr. Lu doesn't want to see him."
Sure enough, it was the information age, and their gossip was basically true. After listening to it for a while, Lu Canran felt deeply that she was in a miserable situation.So he asked sincerely: "Then how can he be salty and rich?"
"Of course Director Lu likes it!" The female employee replied subconsciously, "No matter what, it's a kiss, a kiss to my son." Seeing the gossip master standing behind her, she was startled, and her colleagues were also a little taken aback.
After thinking about it carefully, I didn't say too much, but it was embarrassing enough for someone to be heard by the master behind the scenes. The female worker smiled subtly, "Pour water? It's just opened, let's go first."
"Wait a minute, I think what you said is very reasonable, and then help me as a consultant?" Lu Canran stopped her, and asked sincerely, her eyes were pure and bright, which made people unconsciously trust and be attracted.
The female worker's heart was hit, and she said seriously: "I was wrong, how could Director Lu not want to see you, you don't have to worry at all." If she wants such a beautiful son, it's too late.
Just when Lu Canran was about to ask another question, a deep male voice sounded behind him: "Instead of worrying about what you have and what you don't have, it's better to improve your ability. Why didn't you come to me last night?"
He was supposed to go back tomorrow, but his mother, Ms. Tan Lingmei, heard from somewhere that Chi Xu would be back today, and strictly demanded that he and Chi Xu go back together.
