Huaicheng Group was in constant turmoil. If it wasn't for the support of his family, the middle-aged Lu Haoqian really wanted to retire and live a carefree life.
However, he had a family and children, and he had to be responsible for his wife and children. He had to bear the responsibility of a man. He wanted to leave the country that he had fought for to the most important people in his life and let them live the best life possible.
The first thing Lu Haoqian did after being bailed out was to get someone to bring Leng Cen to Xinghai City and ask her about the matter.
When Leng Cen saw Lu Haoqian again, she didn't expect the matter to be exposed so quickly. Lu Haoqian seemed to already know that everything was caused by her.
Standing in front of Lu Haoqian, Leng Cen didn't dare to look at Lu Haoqian's eyes that could make people fall into the abyss. Her love for him had turned into fear.
Lu Haoqian would never show mercy to people who betrayed him. Leng Cen thought of the various evil deeds that Lu Haoqian had done in the documents and her back was drenched in cold sweat.
Lu Haoqian's tone was calm, and even his voice was as calm as usual. "Why did you do this?"
Leng Cen still hoped that she had a chance to live. She replied to Lu Haoqian, "CEO Lu, I didn't do anything. Why would you say that?"
Lu Haoqian laughed at Leng Cen's stubbornness. He said, "Don't treat me like a fool, okay? If I wasn't 100% sure that you did it, why would I bother to get someone to bring you to Xinghai City? I've treated your family well, and I can understand that your father hid something behind my back. After all, the human heart is unpredictable, and he can't trust me 100%. Although he's loyal, he's suspicious. I didn't expect that the things in his hands would be used by his daughter. "
Leng Cen was surprised that Lu Haoqian knew everything that her father had done behind his back. Sure enough, it wasn't easy for him to build everything from scratch to where he was today. Although he rarely went to the company, nothing could escape his eyes.
Leng Cen lowered her head. Lu Haoqian's gentle voice made her hair stand on end. She knew that it was useless for her to argue. Lu Haoqian had already determined that she was the one behind it. After a long silence, Leng Cen pursed her lips and finally said, "I did it because I like you.
After a long silence, Leng Cen pursed her lips and finally said, "I did it because I like you. When I was in school, I still remember the first time you came to my house when I was in my second year of middle school. I fell in love with you ever since then, so I studied as hard as I could, hoping to get into the best university in the UK. After I graduated, I hoped to enter the Huicheng Group and stay by your side to fulfill a dream that I've had for many years. However, when I heard that you got married, I felt as if the whole world had collapsed. You married Leng Yuhuan, a woman that I couldn't compare to no matter how hard I tried. After you got divorced, do you know how happy I was? I just wanted to graduate and be by your side as soon as possible. Who knew that Gu Yan would appear? She's a good-for-nothing woman. I can't compete with Leng Yuhuan, but I'm thousands of times better than Gu Yan. Why can't you just look at me and give me a chance? That day, you rejected me at the office and even asked me to leave the Huaicheng Group. These two actions of yours personally shattered the dream in my heart. Why did I do all this? You can treat it as hatred born from love. "
Lu Haoqian wasn't interested in listening to Leng Cen's long-winded confession at all. All this had nothing to do with him. He only cared about the result, which was that Leng Cen had caused him a lot of trouble.
Lu Haoqian said indifferently, "It's meaningless for you to say these things to me. It's your business how stubborn you are to me. No one asked you to do this. Leng Cen, to be honest, you have already touched my bottom line. For the sake of your father, I won't do anything to you. I just asked you to come here to tell you that people can be forgiven for making mistakes once or twice, but there won't be a third chance. Do you understand?"
Leng Cen was stunned. She had never thought that Lu Haoqian would let her go for the sake of an old employee who was disloyal to him. She really couldn't see what kind of person Lu Haoqian was. She said that he was heartless, but he actually remembered the old relationship in the end. Now it seemed that her father had stolen the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a despicable person.
Leng Cen plucked up her courage and asked, "If I make another mistake, what will happen to me?"
"You won't have a third chance, and don't appear in my sight again. A person should leave a way out. I gave you a chance, so cherish it." Lu Haoqian felt that he had said what he needed to say, so he signaled the bodyguards to take Leng Cen away. He didn't want to take another look at this woman.
The incident of Huaicheng Group was a hot topic. Lu Haoqian couldn't do anything to Mayor Zhao for the time being. A tall tree attracts the wind. If something happened to Mayor Zhao now, it would only be more troublesome.
Lu Haoqian's legal team was all top-notch lawyers. Even if the evidence was conclusive, they would have a way to exonerate Lu Haoqian completely.
Gu Yan was pregnant, and Lu Haoqian had been worried about whether she could take care of herself. From time to time, he would call her to supervise her from afar. No matter how busy he was, he would call Gu Yan to remind her to eat. He didn't want her to be like when she was pregnant with Xuanxuan, as if she had a grudge against food and couldn't eat anything.
Gu Yan told Lu Haoqian on the phone that she had been wanting to eat sour food recently, and suspected that the baby in her belly was a boy.
Lu Haoqian was not so knowledgeable about this. He couldn't verify the authenticity of the saying that a sour child was a spicy girl. He didn't have such a big obsession with his son and daughter. As long as the child was healthy, everything else didn't matter.
Lu Haoqian had been waiting for the case to be heard in Xinghai City. When the residents of Shanty Town knew that Lu Haoqian was going to appear in court, they excitedly praised that they had a good mayor who did practical things for the people. Under the instigation of their leaders, they also filed a lawsuit against Huaicheng Group, exposing all kinds of evil deeds that Huaicheng Group had done to them.
Law had always been a game for the rich. When the case was heard in public, Lu Haoqian's legal team, coupled with Lu Haoqian's calm defense, Lu Haoqian completely removed himself from the whole lawsuit. Even the audience mistakenly thought that Lu Haoqian was a good citizen who abided by the law.
Moreover, Lu Haoqian's legal team publicly told a love story in court. The male protagonist of the story was Mayor Zhao. When the judge said that this matter had nothing to do with the case,
When the judge said that this matter had nothing to do with the case, the main defense lawyer exaggerated how Mayor Zhao targeted Lu Haoqian, saying that Mayor Zhao deliberately targeted Lu Haoqian because of his former lover, which brought trouble to Lu Haoqian.
Lu Haoqian finally won the case, and the crime was not established. Law was a game for the rich. This sentence was taught by Lu Haoqian to Mayor Zhao. This time he lost, and he also knew that he would not have any good days in the future. When things gradually calmed down, Lu Haoqian would definitely not let him go.
Back in Shanghai, Lu Haoqian went directly to the company and dragged Gu Yan, who was still at work, home.
He touched his wife's belly and found that it was only slightly bulging. He rebuked, "Did you not eat well? Don't starve my child. "
After a short separation, Gu Yan, who was reunited, helplessly said, "The child is not a balloon that can be blown up easily."
Lu Haoqian smiled. He was exhausted, but when he saw Gu Yan, he had already taken off all his armor. With his wife and daughter by his side, he felt like a small boat that had been through a thousand sails. He was facing the strong winds and waves outside, and it was his home that had given him a warm harbor.
Lu Haoqian told Gu Yan that he wanted to emigrate to England. He wanted to ask for her opinion. After all, in a strange country, Gu Yan had to adapt to everything again.
He wanted to give Gu Yan some time to consider, but Gu Yan nodded her head without hesitation. She told Lu Haoqian, "No matter where you go, I will be with you. I believe that your decision is right."
With his wife's understanding, Lu Haoqian kissed Gu Yan's forehead and promised, "Don't worry, darling. I will take good care of you in England."
After saying that, Lu Haoqian took out his phone from his pocket and showed Gu Yan the medieval castle that he had bought in England. It was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it felt like a paradise on earth.
"Do you like it?" Lu Haoqian asked in a gentle voice.
Gu Yan nodded her head. "Since I'm staying in the castle, will I be treated like a princess?"
Lu Haoqian avoided the topic and said, "There are a lot of servants there …"
Gu Yan blinked and looked at the sly Lu Haoqian. She got up from the sofa and patted his head. "You are the housekeeper. You are better than them when it comes to serving us."
Gu Yan stood in the terminal of Pudong Airport and looked at the gray sky outside the window. She had to say goodbye to this city. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She was reluctant to part with this city, but she also felt relieved. Ever since she was in her early twenties, she had always chosen to stay in this city and work hard for herself. Gu Yan's heart was filled with sadness.
Gu Yan thought about what her life would be like if she hadn't met Lu Haoqian. He struggled hard, struggling in this cold, fast-paced city that made people numb.
She would have become a strong woman. She would have worked hard for most of her life, only to find that she couldn't even afford a toilet in the city. The men she met were all kinds of people. Some were bad, some were calculative …
Gu Yan had always thought that God would not care for her. It was Lu Haoqian who made her the happiest person in the world.
After becoming Lu Haoqian's wife, she had never envied anyone else. She might have used up all her luck to marry such a dedicated and responsible man.
***
Two years later, Lu Haoqian, who had rushed over from a company meeting in Cornall, England, which was also the end of the world in England, reluctantly brought his daughter there and agreed to his wife's sudden request.
Lu Haoqian drove and said to his daughter, "Why does your mother insist on taking a family photo there? Why don't we find a photo studio or do it at home?"
Xuan Xuan lowered her head and dug into her ice cream. "Because mommy said that you are not romantic. She also told me not to look for such a blockhead in the future."
Lu Haoqian was speechless. When the car arrived, he carried his daughter in his arms and immediately saw Gu Yan, who had been waiting for a long time. When Sky, who was in Gu Yan's arms, saw her father, she was so happy that she begged for her father to carry her instead of letting her mother carry her.
It was said that sons and mothers were close. Gu Yan could not understand what was going on with this little rascal. She put him down and saw Sky running towards Lu Haoqian with his short legs.
The photographer used a fluent London accent to tell the family of four to get ready …
After the photos were taken, Lu Haoqian asked the bodyguards to send the two little rascals home. Meanwhile, he held Gu Yan's hand as the sea breeze caressed their faces. Standing on a granite cliff that was more than 200 feet high, one would often succumb to its magnificence.
Standing on the shore, who would you want to walk to the end of the land with? Who would you thank for accompanying you in life?
Lu Haoqian was afraid that Gu Yan would catch a cold from the sea breeze. He hugged her tightly in his arms and sighed. "Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the kids are all grown up. I'm getting old too. There's still a long way to go. Wife, is it hard to walk with me?"
Gu Yan hugged Lu Haoqian's waist and said softly, "The luckiest thing that happened to me when I was 23 years old was meeting you. Even now, I don't regret meeting you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Husband, thank you for letting me grow up. Yes, there's still a long way to go. Please take good care of me in the future."
Lu Haoqian thought of the year when he first met Gu Yan. Everything was like a movie film, playing in his mind in a loop. It was better to see it for the first time than to see it for the first time.
What was the so-called 'right person'? To find a suitable lover, two psychological needs had to be satisfied. One was a sense of security, and the other was a sense of belonging. A sense of security meant that you were sure that your other half wouldn't leave, and a sense of belonging meant that you were sure that you wouldn't leave.
At first, the gap between Gu Yan and Lu Haoqian was too big. Their lives were full of contradictions. But after getting along with each other, they learned to tolerate and accommodate each other. They also trusted each other unconditionally.
In Gu Yan's life, Lu Haoqian was her sense of belonging and security. Even if she said thousands of words, "I love you," it couldn't compare to Lu Haoqian saying, "I will never leave you."
