That's right. In a prison like this, struggling at death's door, how could she still be young?
When the woman saw Lu Shiyun, a trace of resentment flashed across her usually expressionless face. Her skinny body instantly tensed up. The caretaker who was holding her down noticed her emotions. She immediately put on a fierce face and shouted sternly, "Behave yourself!"
Seeing this, Lu Shiyun didn't look nervous at all. He only pointed to the seat opposite him. "Sit down. I know you want to see me, so relax."
…
The woman sat down and glared at Lu Shiyun with resentment. After a moment, she lowered her eyes but didn't speak. Her tightly pursed lips turned white and purple. Her handcuffed hands clenched tightly into fists.
Lu Shiyun seemed to be used to her being like this. His expression was normal. He muttered to himself for a moment and said, "… This is the last year I'll come to see you. I won't come again in the future."
…
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in front of him jerked her head up. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes.
Lu Shiyun frowned and sighed softly. He shook his head. "I can't always come here. The situation is different now. You should know very well that since I let you in here, I have no intention of letting you out. I'm a businessman. I can't do anything outrageous. I can't commit murder or arson. You should also know that since you're in here, you can't … blame it all on me. Everything … just treat it as karma. You can't blame anyone and there's no need to. I've already tried my best to make up for it. I know you have resentment in your heart, but I've taken care of everything I can for you. "
"I'm here today to tell you that you don't have to worry about the things you're worried about. They … will all be fine. As for you, don't expect to come out again. Those who enter here all die of old age here. "
He glanced at the old woman in front of him and suppressed his desire to sigh. He continued to say, "You've lost a lot of weight. I'll get them to take good care of you."
He stood up and was about to leave. The woman in front of him also stood up instantly.
Lu Shiyun looked at her and probably saw the deep desire in her eyes. He frowned and paused for a moment before saying, "I can't say anything else, but you can rest assured that she's very good. I won't mistreat her. You can stay here in peace. "
He reached out to gather his coat, picked up his hat, put it on, and walked out of the small room without looking back.
There were footsteps behind her trying to catch up, but when they reached the door, they were stopped. A stern male voice said, "Where do you think you're going? Behave yourself and go back! "
…
It was 8 am when Xin Yu woke up.
She had been back in D City for some time. After adjusting to the jet lag, her biological clock was exceptionally punctual. She would wake up around this time every day.
She turned over and got out of bed. Looking at her injured wrist, she pressed it with one hand and moved it. It didn't hurt much anymore. She estimated that it would be better in a day or two.
Glancing at her phone, she remembered that she had an appointment with Qi Mingye today. Xin Yu found Mu Chenchu's number and called again. Still, no one picked up. She couldn't help but curse inwardly. This damned woman. Even if she was going on a business trip, she should have brought her phone with her!
But on second thought, it could be that Su Junyan's doing.
Xin Yu threw her phone on the bedside table and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. She looked at the simple furnishings, yet every part of the room was low-key and luxurious. There was also a strong masculine atmosphere in the room. Her heart trembled.
She turned around and looked at the dark gray bedding beside her. It was filled with his scent. Last night, she had slept exceptionally soundly … She hurriedly shook her head and comforted herself that she was really too tired. This had nothing to do with Qin Fangang.
There was a bathroom in Qin Fangang's master bedroom. Xin Yu washed up briefly in it. Calculating the time, Qin Fangang should have gone to the office at this time, she walked out of the master bedroom.
Unexpectedly, in the dining room, a man in a formal suit was leisurely having his breakfast with a cup of coffee and a newspaper in the other hand.
…
"You're up? Come and have breakfast. "The man didn't even raise his head, but his deep voice was filled with certainty.
Xin Yu thought that her footsteps shouldn't be that loud, right? He didn't even raise his head to look at her, but he already knew it was her?
Qin Fangang flipped another page of the newspaper. He still did not raise his head, but it was as if he could read her mind. "Your scent is especially clear in this room. It can't be anyone else. Come and sit down for breakfast. "
Xin Yu blushed. Every time he spoke, there was a hint of ambiguity in his tone. This made her very troubled.
What was distressing wasn't the man's attitude towards her. What was distressing was that she was becoming less and less repulsed by every word he said to her. However, the frequency of her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
"Hey, Miss Leng, you're up? I've prepared breakfast. What do you want to eat? "
Auntie Bao probably heard the noise outside, so she came out of the kitchen with a smile. Xin Yu realized that today, she actually called her "Miss Leng" instead of "Lady Lu" like before.
She wasn't stupid. She knew this change couldn't be a coincidence.
She subconsciously looked at Qin Fangang with an inquisitive gaze. The man only frowned and looked at the newspaper in his hand with full concentration.
In her heart, there was still a different feeling. She always had the illusion that she was being cared for wholeheartedly by a man.
When this thought flashed through her mind, she immediately dismissed it. Leng Xinyu, it's an illusion. Yes, it's just an illusion!
"… Let's eat porridge. Thank you, Auntie Bao." Xin Yu calmed herself down and walked over to sit on Qin Fangang's right side.
The newspaper beside him was held in his right hand. It was a big piece of newspaper that was completely spread out. Xin Yu casually glanced at it and happened to see a very eye-catching headline. She was stunned. For a moment, she thought that she had seen wrongly. Her gaze settled, and only then did she confirm that she hadn't seen wrongly.
"… Mr. Zhao from City A, is he involved in a lawsuit?" She pointed at the newspaper in Qin Fangang's hand and asked subconsciously.
If she remembered correctly, the project that Lu Yihan took over was this Mr. Zhao. The news said that he seemed to be involved in a lawsuit, and it was a commercial crime. This kind of lawsuit was the most troublesome. Now that it was on the headlines, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would be convicted!
Then, wouldn't Lu Yihan's project fall through?
"Yeah."
Qin Fangang snorted emotionlessly. He picked up the coffee beside him and took a sip. His voice was low but very casual. "Why, Mr. Zhao, do you know him?"
"I don't know him."
Xin Yu said honestly, "But I know that he's Lu Yihan's project partner. Now that he's involved in a lawsuit, won't the Lu Clan be affected? "
Qin Fangang curved his thin lips. He folded the newspaper in his hand and threw it aside. His tone was a little casual. "It's just a contract. The Lu Clan won't be affected too much. In any case, Lu Yihan is already looking for another company."
"So soon?"
Xin Yu frowned and thought about it seriously. She said seriously, "I thought that Lu Yihan would want that piece of land. After all, they've signed a contract. Even if Mr. Zhao's side goes bankrupt, it should be considered a breach of contract."
Qin Fangang raised his eyebrows. His slender fingers fiddled with the coffee cup beside him. His tone was a little low. "Why, are you very concerned about his project?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Xin Yu reflexively replied. She didn't feel that it was unnatural for her to distance herself from Lu Yihan in front of Qin Fangang. "I'm just asking casually. Actually, I won't be affected if he succeeds in this project. To put it bluntly, he's the young master of the Lu Clan. Even if a project fails, it won't affect him much. "
"I thought that you were comparing the two projects to see who could do better. That way, you'd be more qualified to speak."
Qin Fangang's words had a double meaning. He lowered his eyes. A glint flashed across his eyes, but no one could see it. "Actually, you don't have to rush to distance yourself from me. You're really not interested in him, and you don't care about him at all. I know that you hate him, so I believe you. "
"…" Xin Yu's expression froze. The atmosphere at the dining table, which was originally harmonious, instantly became subtle.
Of course, she understood what Qin Fangang meant by his last sentence. Did this man have to be so narcissistic?!
Xin Yu was a little annoyed. She frowned and retorted, "I didn't mean that at all!"
Qin Fangang chuckled but didn't harp on this topic. It was as if he was certain. The way he looked at her clearly showed that she didn't mean what she said.
Xin Yu was really angry and annoyed. She wanted to say something, but Qin Fangang was one step ahead of her and said, "However, you can pay more attention to this project. You don't have to worry too much about Su Junyan's collaboration with Mu Chenchu now. In other words, your project is 100% smooth sailing. Since Lu Yihan happened to have such a thing happen, you can put more effort into it. From what I know, Lu Yihan is still quite serious about this project. "
Xin Yu didn't quite understand. What did Qin Fangang mean by saying this to her?
There was no problem with her project. Lu Yihan also valued his project very much. Hence, he was now anxious to find his next project. But this didn't seem to have anything to do with her, right?
Just as she was about to ask, Auntie Bao came out with her porridge again. Xin Yu could only swallow her doubts. But on second thought, she felt that she might be overthinking. Qin Fangang was probably just casually mentioning it. After all, he had always stood in the position of a leader and led her forward. Xin Yu had always admitted that for a person like her who had just graduated and stepped into society, Lu Shiyun had given her a very good opportunity. And Qin Fangang was undoubtedly the best "master."
He had used the most direct and transparent method to allow himself to come into contact with this piece of information.
