Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 385: Boundary Sense is Important

Chu Zeyan smiled, "You call me second brother, what price can you talk about?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch. This is a truth she was taught when she was very young. Lu Xingchen looked at him without saying anything.

Chu Zeyan sighed when she looked at him, "I just... feel lonely."

Lu Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. This answer was really unexpected.

Chu Zeyan knew that she didn't believe it, and he himself didn't believe it either, so he asked casually: "How about you be my sister?"

Has he not yet gotten over the loss of Su Wanyi? Lu Xingchen looked at him for a moment, "Your Chu family should not be short of brothers and sisters."

"Is your Lu family in need of something?" Chu Zeyan asked subconsciously.

Lu Xingchen was speechless for a moment.

Chu Zeyan chuckled, "Su Wanyi spent most of her time with me when she was little. Because my mom had to go out to work, she relied on me sometimes more than my mom did. I never encountered that kind of unconditional love and trust again. So even though she and I were not born of the same father, I always treated her as my sister. I thought she was different from those in the Chu family..."

Lu Xingchen took over his words, "Besides, I am someone who has no blood relationship with you at all. I can't guarantee that I will use you just as much as I don't trust you. Will you try to do something to me?"

"Then why do you trust Li Zhen so much?"

"..." Lu Xingchen was not stumped by the question this time, but was looking for a suitable answer to Chu Zeyan, "Because I can give back his love for me, but I can't give you anything."

This woman was sober and scary. Chu Zeyan was helpless, "But I trust you very much. Why is that?"

Lu Xingchen: "Thank you, but is this just your subjective opinion? Actually, it's not."

Chu Zeyan spread his hands: "Then let me ask you the other way around. We have known each other for so long. Have I ever done anything to hurt you?"

Lu Xingchen couldn't answer, because not only didn't he, he even helped her a lot. Lu Xingchen didn't say anything.

Chu Zeyan then asked: "Just tell me, do you need my information network?"

In fact, Lu Xingchen wanted to tell Chu Zeyan that he really didn’t need to trust her so much, because when he asked this question, the first thing she thought of was.

In fact, the reason why Li Zhen’s current situation is so difficult is not only because of the Feng family’s affairs, but also because of the Chu family.

As Chu Zefeng was defeated by Chu Zeyan, the big families who knew the inside story also knew that Su Wanyi was Chu Zeyan's sister. Su Wanyi was also detained by Li Zhen and used as a condition of exchange. After Su Wanyi's death, many people speculated that Chu Zeyan would turn against Li Zhen.

Now that Chu Zeyan has come to find her, if she agrees to have normal dealings with him, then the news that the Chu family is against Zhencheng will be self-defeating, and the rest will just be the drama performed by Li Zhen and Old Feng. There is no need for him to bear the pressure of the Chu family on that basis.

In addition to this reason, she realized that she really needed a strong information gathering team. "I do need it, but they are not my people, so I don't want to use them for free, nor do I want to be passively paid too much attention by your people. After all, Li Zhen has people following me all day long, which has made me a transparent person. I don't want to be like that with you."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I would like to ask for your help when I need it, and pay you accordingly."

What a smart and cautious girl, she doesn't take advantage of others nor let others take advantage of her. Chu Zeyan took a deep breath and then spread his hands. "I promise you, can I put forward a condition on this basis?"

So is it still conditional?

"You said."

Chu Zeyan: "When I want to see you in the future, can I see you?"

"..." Lu Xingchen looked at him for a long time, then shook his head apologetically, "As long as I feel that your so-called meeting will make Li Zhen uncomfortable, then I can't agree to it."

Chu Zeyan laughed angrily, "How could Li Zhen be so lucky? Do you mean that we can't even be friends now?"

"The premise is that you don't like me and don't have the idea of ​​forcing me to respond to you."

"Are you afraid you'll waver?"

"No, I'm afraid there will be another Su Wanyi."

Seeing Chu Zeyan's expression change, Lu Xingchen knew that he had said it decisively enough and made it very clear that he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he continued without waiting for him to speak.

"I'm sorry, I was arrogant and self-indulgent. But since it's a paid transaction, I think it should be purely a business deal. If you add emotional conditions on top of that, it will make people think you have other purposes. If we really want to talk about emotions, then put aside the relationship between men and women. If Second Brother needs any help from me, I will do my best to help him."

Chu Zeyan always felt that Lu Xingchen was not very aggressive, but when they really got to know each other, she could do things in a straight and precise manner to the point of being impeccable. He rarely saw her making a big fuss, but she could also speak every word to the point and hit the heart.

In fact, he just really wanted to see her and wanted to find someone to talk to.

But is his purpose really that obvious?

Chu Zeyan couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, you've made it so clear, what else can I do?"

"What's the matter that you're busy investigating?"

"It's paid, just purely for business, okay?"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen finally smiled slightly. Chu Zeyan saw it and said helplessly, "You said you don't have any feelings, but you make my heart beat. Can this be regarded as you taking advantage of my liking for you?"

Lu Xingchen immediately changed his expression and became very serious.

Chu Zeyan stood up unhappily, "Alright, alright, you didn't take advantage of the fact that I like you, it's just that I like you so much that I couldn't help but come to you on my own initiative."

"Second brother..."

"I understand. Don't end it. Explaining further will only make me more sad and embarrassed. Don't send me off. Shao Ping will look for you later. Just tell him directly what you want to investigate."

Shao Ping?

As Chu Zeyan's most trusted person, Lu Xingchen felt a little nervous, but he didn't say anything about it. He just said "Thank you, second brother" and continued to send him out.

Shao Ping's efficiency was indeed very high. Within a few days, he provided feedback on all the things Lu Xingchen needed to check. Lu Xingchen was thinking about how to use this information when Luo Ning called him.

"After get off work, come out and have a drink with your sister?"

Luo Ning's voice sounded very unhappy. Lu Xingchen asked, "Did anything happen?"

"You'll know when you come!"

"Give me the address and I'll be there right away."

Lu Xingchen arrived at the bar Luo Ning mentioned. Luo Ning had already had two drinks. When he saw her sitting over, he turned around and said, "You came pretty quickly."

"Boss Luo asked me to come, so of course I came without stopping... What happened to your face?" Luo Ning had two obvious bruises on his cheek and the corner of his mouth. Lu Xingchen said with a stern expression, "Who hit you?"

"..." Luo Ning was so angry that he cursed and looked at Lu Xingchen and asked, "Do you know this woman Feng Qianyu?"
