Liang Feifan waited until everyone had left before he got up. He tugged at his bow tie and called his assistant. Since Guan Chao had to stay in A City, he found someone to work for him at the last minute. He instructed the other party to bring up the new clothes he had bought. He was in the hotel's conference room.
In less than five minutes, the assistant came up with the clothes. Liang Feifan took the bag and instructed the assistant to wait in the parking lot while he walked towards his room.
However, he didn't realize that as soon as he turned around, the assistant behind him had already taken out his phone and secretly sent a text message.
...
Bai Lu sat on the sofa and tugged at her collar repeatedly. She raised her wrist to check the time. Almost twenty minutes had passed. Was it that difficult to get someone to bring up a set of clothes?
She saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. If she went to work normally in the afternoon, she would definitely be there by two o'clock. Was Liang Feifan deliberately messing with her?
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the doorbell rang again. Bai Lu's first thought was that Liang Feifan had sent someone to deliver the clothes. She hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the door. Without even looking through the peephole, she pulled the door open.
"..."
When she saw the man standing at the door, Bai Lu's expression changed abruptly. Instinctively, she tugged at her collar and took a step back. A trace of awkwardness flashed across her face.
"... Bai Lu?"
Chu Weiye also didn't expect that the person who opened the door for him would be Bai Lu.
He was here to look for Liang Feifan. There was a problem with the project in A City. He had already contacted Guan Chao, but Guan Chao said that Liang Feifan was in C City and wouldn't be back for the time being. He happened to be in C City for some business, so he conveniently dropped by the hotel where Liang Feifan was staying.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the person he would meet would be Bai Lu.
"You're back?"
In an instant, she understood why Liang Feifan would come to C City. So it was because she was in C City?
Chu Weiye looked at Bai Lu. The woman in front of him was blushing. It was probably because she was embarrassed or nervous to see him. However, her reaction made him lose focus for a moment.
It had been more than a year since he last saw her in England. Chu Weiye felt that he would probably never see this woman again in his life. At least, he would never allow himself to take the initiative to look for her again. In fact, she had given him many reasons and opportunities, but he knew too well that she would never leave a space in her heart for him, or for any other man.
Therefore, his basic dignity as a man forbade him from looking for her.
If you don't have a place in a woman's heart from the beginning to the end, then why bother? He would look down on her, and she would be annoyed. Instead of leaving her with such a bad impression, it was better to leave her with the best version of herself.
That way, she would probably smile when she thought of him occasionally.
To him, love was a luxury. After missing out on Bai Lu, Chu Weiye felt that he would never meet another "Bai Lu" in his life. Someone who could move his heart, make him work hard, and even make him willingly work with Liang Feifan.
This should be the only thing he could do for her.
A year ago, before he agreed to Ye Zijie, he had already agreed to work with Liang Feifan. So, to Ye Zijie, he was basically a spy.
After Liang Feifan and Ye Lian got married, the Liang Clan and the Ye Clan collaborated on a holiday resort project. All the materials needed for the resort were provided by the Far East Group. Chu Weiye knew that Ye Zijie had always been on guard against Liang Feifan. Back then, Ye Zijie had asked him to be the third party between them. His goal was to tie down Liang Feifan at the most critical moment.
However, Ye Zijie didn't know that Liang Feifan and Chu Weiye had already contacted each other in private.
In terms of materials, Ye Zijie wanted to use Chu Weiye to trick Liang Feifan. But, Liang Feifan was one step ahead of him. The big net had already been cast. When it was time to pull it in, Ye Zijie would be dumbfounded.
...
Chu Weiye didn't deny that he did all this because of Bai Lu.
But, he didn't plan on letting Bai Lu know. So, now that he was standing in Liang Feifan's hotel suite and saw that the woman who opened the door for him was actually Bai Lu, his heart sank.
He was a little surprised, but at the same time, it seemed to be within his expectations.
He was surprised that she would appear here, but it was also within his expectations that a man like Liang Feifan would never let her go.
"..."
The two of them stared at each other through the door. Bai Lu clearly saw too many emotions flash through Chu Weiye's eyes. She looked even more embarrassed. The bathrobe on her body made her want to dig a hole and hide in it. For a moment, she reached out to pull at her loose collar and cleared her throat. "... Chu Weiye, I... Why are you here?"
"I'm here to look for Liang Feifan."
Chu Weiye quickly calmed down. He put his hands in his trouser pockets. He probably saw that Bai Lu was especially nervous and awkward, so he didn't want to go in. He acted like a gentleman. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here. Why don't you go in and change?"
"..." Bai Lu looked down. She felt even more embarrassed. She needed clothes to change into!
Chu Weiye saw that she didn't say anything and thought that she was worried about something. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Bai Lu, change into a set of clothes and have a meal with me. Actually, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Are you in C City now? It's just a normal meal between friends. Don't you agree? "
Since they had already met, it was just a meal. Chu Weiye was sincere. Some people were like that. They always wanted what they couldn't get.
Bai Lu had always been in the depths of his heart. It was probably true. In this lifetime, there wouldn't be another woman who would kick her out of his heart. But he couldn't get her. He only had one person left. He could stop pestering her, but now that they had met, he still wanted to spend more time with her.
"... Chu Weiye, I..."
"It's not convenient for her."
A deep male voice interrupted Bai Lu. Both of them were stunned. They turned around and saw a man with a bag in his hand striding towards them. The man's handsome features were gloomy. He blocked Bai Lu's way and looked at Chu Weiye. "What are you doing here?"
Chu Weiye shrugged. "I called Guan Chao. He was the one who told me that you were here. Naturally, I didn't come to look for you to flirt with you."
"..."
Liang Feifan ignored Bai Lu's objections. He reached out and grabbed her wrist. He pushed her into the room. "Go in. I'll be right in." He handed the bag in his hand to her. "The clothes are all here."
Bai Lu actually didn't want to listen to him. But because she was wearing a bathrobe and Chu Weiye was around, she felt a little embarrassed. She weighed the pros and cons in her heart and still chose to enter the room.
As soon as the door closed, Chu Weiye snorted with laughter. "I only asked to have a meal with her. Are you that nervous? Liang Feifan, if you were really nervous about her, you shouldn't have let her go a year ago. "
Liang Feifan frowned and said sternly, "This is between me and her. I hope you won't interfere."
"Interfere?"
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows. His tone became colder. "If I wanted to interfere, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you right now. I've never denied the fact that I like her. A year ago, I went to England to look for her. Before I agreed to work with you, I met her once. "
"..."
Liang Feifan was a little surprised. He didn't know about this at all. But when he thought about it, it wasn't strange. If Chu Weiye wanted to go to England without anyone knowing, it wouldn't be hard for him to do so.
Chu Weiye lit a cigarette for himself. Holding it between his fingers, he looked at Liang Feifan through the smoke. "Actually, I just couldn't take it lying down. That's why I went all the way to ask her what's so special about you? It's so hard to be with you and she has to endure so much. Why did she still choose you? She told me that it wasn't easy for you either. She said that she only had one path left in her life, and the end of that path was you, Liang Feifan. She said that she couldn't get rid of you... Sometimes, I'm really jealous of you. Actually, you can succeed in anything, but the most successful thing is to make Bai Lu love you so wholeheartedly. She explained to me that when her mother got into a car accident, it was clearly your mother's fault. But she was still willing to stand in your position, think for you, take a step back for you, and compromise for you. "
"... Do you know why I chose to work with you? I didn't do it to attack Ye Zijie. In City A, even if the Ye Group became the leader, it wouldn't affect Far East. Besides, if he joined forces with him to deal with you, it might be a better choice. Of course, I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for her. "
Chu Weiye narrowed his eyes and flicked the ash from his cigarette. Deep in his eyes, there was a flash of relief. "I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that you're very lucky. At least for now, she's still by your side. The Ye Group is basically under our control. I know that something has happened to Ye Lian and I don't think she'll have a good ending. So this time, you'd better protect her well. Otherwise, even I won't give you another chance."
...
Actually, he chose to tell him all this because he wanted to cut off his last strand of hope. Of course, he also hoped that she could truly be happy.
Perhaps it was because he had done too many good deeds recently, so even his usually cold heart seemed to have softened.
That woman he once loved. Perhaps he still loved her now, or perhaps he would still love her in the future. She didn't give him the slightest bit of affection, but she taught him how to love someone.
Chu Weiye laughed bitterly in his heart. Perhaps there was nothing wrong with being kind. At least it allowed him to live a more peaceful life.
