Su Jianan slept soundly until the next morning.
Before opening her eyes, she could sense a familiar breathing right under her nose. Feeling at ease, she snuggled into the familiar embrace. In an instant, what had happened yesterday all resurfaced and came to mind.
Her eyes opened all of a sudden—it was actually only dawn.
It probably had not been long since Lu Boyan slept. There were still signs of weariness on his face from a night of not sleeping. His breathing was deep and heavy—he was fast asleep.
Su Jianan tried to move a bit. Indeed he did not react.
She heaved a sigh of relief, then left the bed to wash up in the bathroom. She had no change of clothes there, so she ended up wearing one of Lu Boyan's bathrobes.
When she returned, Lu Boyan was still asleep. Seeing that it was still early, she pondered for a while, and continued sleeping.
Just when she had laid down, Lu Boyan pulled
"Bang bang bang—" At three in the morning, when Lu Boyan had just fallen asleep, knocking on the bedroom door was suddenly heard, accompanied with Uncle Xu's anxious voice, "Young Master, Young Master!" Lu Boyan was a light sleeper; he woke up quickly, and went to open the door. "Yuechuan just called. Building #4-17 of Fanting Garden which had just finished construction in the fourth quarter... suddenly collapsed." Uncle Xu was usually a composed man, but right then, the hand which was holding onto his walking stick was slightly trembling. "Many of the workers who were staying at the construction site were injured. Two of them have unfortunately... died." Real estate was one of three Lu Enterprises' main business pillars. Ever since they started developing properties, business had been prospering. Now with such a major accident, Uncle Xu could not imagine... what it would do to Lu Enterprises. For an instant, ther
When Su Jianan was returning to her office, she met a few colleagues along the way. The way they looked at her was mixed with an additional sense of suspicion and distrust. She could only hasten her steps, and hid in her office. She opened a news site; the financial news, social and even entertainment news had reported about the Fanting Garden's construction collapse. Social news questioned the credibility of Lu Enterprises. Financial news analyzed how Lu Enterprises would be impacted by the incident. Entertainment news even speculated that Han Ruoxi had found out about Lu Enterprises' current problem long before, prompting her to leave Lu Enterprises. All discussions were against Lu Boyan and Lu Enterprises. Su Jianan closed the webpage, and paced to and fro in the office. A long time later, she looked back on that day when everything drastically changed. She could not recall any other feelings apart from torment
Mu Sijue checked Xu Youning up and down, and pushed her to the kitchen unhappily, "I didn't have dinner, go cook something for me." Xu Youning pouted and hung Mu Sijue's coat on the back of the sofa. She walked to the kitchen and suddenly heard his voice, "I am not interested in flat bodies." She bowed and checked on herself, then went to the kitchen with anger. She opened two boxes of instant noodles, poured both bags of seasoning into one box of noodles, and took it to Mu Sijue after it was done and put it in front of him: "I only know how to make instant noodles aside from boiling water. Eat it or don't, suit yourself." When Mu Sijue was a teenager, he used to hide together with his uncle from the family and lived a rugged outdoor life; he had eaten much worse things than instant noodles. So, he didn't dislike instant noodles, but looked at Xu Youning deeply. He suddenly raised his lips and said, "Come eat with me, go make a
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Fanting Garden. The cold wind of winter night was like a knife, and the collapsed building had become a ruin, revealing an inexplicable gloominess. In order not to be discovered, Ah Guang parked the car in the ground parking lot of Phase III, and they walked to the site of the collapse accident. Originally, Xu Youning was just behind Mu Sijue, but she was getting closer and closer to him. Mu Sijue always disliked the closeness from others, so he looked at Xu Youning coldly, who then immediately smiled at him in a pitiful way. "Seventh Brother, I am a little scared." "Oh—" Mu Sijue sneered with disapproval, "is there still a thing that you Xu Youning is afraid of in this world?" Xu Youning pointed to the ruins in front and said, "People died there! Have you heard that the souls of those people who unexpectedly died would stay for seven days...? Today is the second day! I
After taking a shower, Xu Youning took out the things found at the scene of the accident from her jacket pockets, hesitating for a few seconds. She turned on the computer and contacted the person. She typed a line of text: 'Today, Mu Sijue took me to the scene of the accident at Fanting Garden. I wonder, why do you act against Lu Enterprises?' That person replied: 'He took you to investigate this matter? Mu Sijue now believes in you?' Xu Youning hesitated for a moment before saying: 'Not exactly, he still won't let me know about some things.' —'Get his trust as soon as possible!' Looking at that line of words, Xu Youning suddenly became confused. She did not know how to reply, and soon there was a new message in the dialog box. —A Ning, I don't need to teach you. You know what it takes to get the trust of a man as quickly as possible. Xu Youning suddenly recalled his approach just then—
Looking at the figure of Kang Ruicheng disappear at the door of the police station, Su Jianan's hands slowly clenched into fists, and her mind was filled with his words, which were full of smugness and warning. —Waiting to see the news of the next day. To deal with people like Kang Ruicheng, they must give the first strike. Su Jianan entered the interrogation room. Captain Yan and Xiao Ying were sorting out the interrogation materials. She asked, "What did the person you just interrogated do?" Captain Yan helplessly said, "On the surface he is suspected of covering illegal transactions, but in fact, we guess the person who violated the law is him. Unfortunately, he was not in the private room when we got into it, and he didn't commit to anything; the person caught on that day did not admit that he was his man. Therefore, we could only ask him to be here in the name of assisting the investigation. However, it was expected that h
On the next day. The headlines of the major newspapers were all the same, as if they had agreed beforehand, and reported that the Lu Enterprises would be heavily fined. According to the report, after investigations by the police and the tax bureau, Lu Enterprises's tax evasion was basically true, and it was going to be massively fined. It was originally speculated that it would be difficult for Lu Boyan to escape from being imprisoned if Lu Enterprises was proved to be guilty. In fact, people who were punished by the law were the director of the finance department of the company and several employees. They took all the responsibilities and Lu Boyan skipped all of that. In that regard, questions arose quickly. Some people said that Lu Boyan bribed or threatened the employees of the finance department to have them take the blame. Some also said that Lu Boyan used special means to go throu
The clock on the wall pointed at ten, and the brakes finally sounded outside the door. Su Jianan rushed to the door, and saw Lu Boyan coming back. She opened the shoe cabinet, passed him his slippers and said, "I made noodles for you, let me heat them." It was just fine and it was not hot; just enough to warm the body. Despite of having a busy day, and his eyebrows full of tiredness, Lu Boyan still ate them in an elegant way. After finishing the last mouthful, Su Jianan handed him a tissue. He pressed his lips and said, "Go to a place with me tomorrow morning." The next day was Saturday. Su Jianan woke up very early, and went out with Lu Boyan without having breakfast. When they arrived at the destination, she discovered that it was the old place—the golf course that Lu Boyan often went to. Intuition told her that Lu Boyan had not gone there to play. Based on his current situation, he w
Xu Yuning looked at the two children, pondered for a moment, and suddenly made a decision-- "I'm going to make sure my kids fall in love early in the future!" Mu Sijiu looked at Xu Yuning doubtfully, "Are you sure?" "Sure!" Xu Yuning's tone was certain, the bottom of his eyes full of longing, "A childhood sweetheart, two children don't you think this kind of relationship is beautiful? If the two children end up together, it will be a lifetime of good stories. If they don't get together, they also have a wonderful memory!" Mus mused for a moment, not knowing what came to mind, and "hmmm" in agreement. "Huh?" Xu Yuning looked at Mu Sijue in surprise, "Do you agree?" She had always thought that Mousseguy would protect his children well against early love. But he's actually okay with it? There is a demon in the matter! "I agree." Mu Sijiu said breezily, "I've eve
Musashi seemed a bit curious and raised an eyebrow, "Tell me about it." Xu Yuning pointed with his chin to the two little ones who were chasing each other not far away, "Do you know what their relationship is?" Mu Sijun looked like he wasn't interested in what was going on between the two brats and asked lightly, "What relationship?" "......" Xu Yuning scrutinized Mu Sijue for a while he probably really wasn't interested. It didn't matter, she had the confidence to tickle his fancy! Xu Yuning slowly said ''Their parents are good friends, they grew up together, but also have always been in the same class, it is not too much to say that they are childhood sweethearts, right? "After the little girl got sick, she took a temporary break from school and was sent to the hospital by her family. When the little boy found out, he tried to injure himself every day and had to come to this hospital
Xu Yuning couldn't imagine if she left this world as suddenly as Lily did ...... The world certainly isn't changing. But Mousse's world, it would be completely turned upside down. Speaking of which, she wasn't really afraid of death, what she was more afraid of, was causing pain to Mu Sijun. She'd carved enough scars into Mousse over the past two years. For the rest of her life, all she wanted to do was to bring joy to Musashi. So she was afraid that Little Lily's tragedy would happen to her, and subconsciously avoided this place until today-- I don't know which small child recognized Xu Yuning first, excitedly shouting at Xu Yuning, "Auntie Yuning!" Xu Yuning's thoughts were drawn back, his gaze following the child's voice to the children's playground- That not-so-small corner was filled with young and lively kids, some new faces and some familiar ones.
As it turned out, everything was just Xu Yuning thinking too much. "You sent me a message?" Mu Sijiu was completely outside of his state and looked at his phone before realizing that he had actually received a message from Xu Yuning. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Yuning, "I was about to return to the hospital when you sent me the message." Xu Yuning shrugged, "...... Okay." Mu Sijun walked to Xu Yuning's front, pressed Xu Yuning to sit down and looked at her, "There's nothing you want to ask me?" "Sure there are! But there's a bit many, so you let me think about which one I'm going to ask first." Xu Yuning didn't look like he was joking, and after saying that, he really leisurely plopped down his legs and began to meditate. She didn't know what had happened in the past few days, and the only thing she could be sure of was that Mu Sijun must have known long ago that
"Kang Ruicheng, don't put gold on your face." As soon as Xu Yuning's words fell, not only Kang Ruicheng's men, but Mu Sijun's group of men also froze. There were only a handful of people who dared to talk to Kang Ruicheng like this. However, there was one thing that Kang Ruicheng had said correctly Xu Yuning was indeed someone he had trained. Surprisingly, Kang Ruicheng didn't have any overreaction, just looked at Xu Yuning with an unknown gaze, and only after a long time did he open his mouth if he had a point "Ah Ning, you've changed." If it was before, give Xu Yuning ten more guts, she wouldn't dare to talk to him like this. Now, who gave her such a hard-on? Mousseur? "One thing has not changed." Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng coldly, her voice as cold as if it was frozen, and said word by word, "Kang Ruicheng, I still hate you as much as I did before I can't wait to
Sujanan only felt her heart skip a beat-She and Mu Sijun tacitly hid the fact that Kang Ruicheng had been released from prison from Xu Yuning.However, in case Yun Yun accidentally reveals it, Mu Si Jue's piece of hard work will go down the drain.Su Jianan looked at Xiao Yun Yun almost prayerfully-She only hoped that Rue had the same understanding as they did.Xiao Yun Yun could see Su Jianan's nervousness in a second, and smiled at Su Jianan's quirky smile, "Cousin, don't worry, I'm not that stupid!""Well ...... then what?"Su Jianan looked at Xiao Yun Yun with unblinking eyes, waiting for her next words.Xiao Yun Yun continued, "After I came to the hospital, I found that Yuning didn't seem to know about Kang Ruicheng's release from prison at all, and I more or less guessed that it was you and Boss Mu who hid it from her. I thought to myself, it's good that Yuning doesn't know, to save her worry. In that case, of course I wouldn't
Su Jianan had always been very self-aware.She knew that in terms of being a hooligan, she would never be Lu Bo Yan's match.However, although she couldn't afford to mess with Lu Bo Yan, she could afford to hide!"That, you keep an eye on Xiyou." Su Jianan pointed to the house, "I'll go prepare dinner first."As soon as the words fell, Su Jianan disappeared in a gust of wind, and Lu Bo Yan didn't have time to say anything.Xiyou was playing with the Akita dog and saw Su Jianan leaving in a hurry, blinking at Lu Boyan in confusion, "Daddy?"Lu Bo Yan walked over, sat down in front of Little Xiyou, and touched the little one's head, "Good boy, mom left you to me.""Hmm?"Little Xiyou seemed to be struggling to understand Lu Bo Yan's words, her big, dark eyes looking blankly at Lu Bo Yan with a confused expression.Lu Bo Yan's heart instantly warmed up, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tender love.He rubbed the li
Su Jianan prepared all the materials and Xiao Xi met woke up. After he learned to walk, Xiyou didn't like to be held, and it was Aunt Liu who led him into the kitchen. The little one's voice with its strong milky scent was still remnants of sleep, and he called out in a daze, "Mommy." Su Jianan took off her apron, washed her hands and walked over, hugged the little guy and looked at him with a smile, "You woke up?" "Uh-huh!" Xiao Xi met is not resistant to Su Jianan hug him, buried his face into Su Jianan's arms, the appearance of how good to be good. Seeing this, Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Ma'am, leave the preparation of the ingredients to me, and you bring Xiyou." "No, I'm all set. But there are a few things that need to be put in the refrigerator first, just put them in." Su Jianan said, "I'll take Xiyou out first." Aunt Liu nodded happily, "Good." Su Jian
Little Xiangyi wasn't walking very steadily yet, wobbling along the way like a delicate and pretty tilting doll.Su Jianan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw half of it.Little Xiangyi felt herself getting closer and closer to her mom, and also smiled very brightly. However, when she was about to hug Su Jianan, Su Jianan suddenly took a big step back-Mom, who had been close by, instantly pulled a large distance from her.Little Xiangyi had an expression of not knowing what was happening, blinking quietly in confusion, frozen in place and not moving, just looking at Su Jianan.Su Jianan did it on purpose.This is the only way for Sagiri to learn to walk faster.Su Jianan continued to coax the little one, "Xiangyi, come, walk over to mommy."Of course, Xiao Xiangyi didn't know that this was Su Jianan's "scheme", tilted her head for a moment, and innocently took a step towards Su Jianan.However, there seemed to be no en
