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

Chapter 152 Barrier

Half an hour later, Lu Xingchen walked out of the company building and received a reply from Li Zhen: A friend is not feeling well, I have to help take care of him.

Lu Xingchen thought of Wen Nuan's ultrasound report again. She stood by the roadside to enjoy the breeze for a while, then took out her cell phone. Rather than feeling uncomfortable about it, it would be better to ask directly. After all, he and she were in a relationship now, so she naturally had the right to ask him.

But before Li Zhen hung up the phone, Xu Fanghua called first.

Lu Xingchen picked up the phone first: "Mom."

Xu Fanghua was worried, "Xingchen, it seems like something is going to happen. Lu Wenli asked me to lend him all the money I have!"

Lu Xingchen almost laughed out loud. How could she be so optimistic that maybe nothing would happen this time? She took a deep breath and asked, "Did he say what he was going to do with it?"

"They said they were borrowing it for circulation and would return it to me after a while."

"Did you touch the money he transferred to you?"

"No."

"Then return the money he transferred to you to him."

"But..." Xu Fanghua hesitated for a moment, "I want to leave this money to you."

"Mom." Lu Xingchen suddenly felt her patience was exhausted. Maybe she was tired today, so she felt exhausted. She held back her temper and said again, "I don't need money from him, and you don't need to take money from him."

"But that's what he should give you..."

"No need." Lu Xingchen interrupted her abruptly, "Can I live like this without him? I asked you to believe me, but why do you keep pinning your hopes on him? What has he done to you over the years except drag you down?"

"..." Xu Fanghua was silent for a long time before replying, "But I don't want to drag you down anymore."

Lu Xingchen's heart suddenly ached. She regretted what she had just said, and even her tone, "Mom..."

"It's okay, I'll give him his money."

"Where are you now? I'm going to find you."

"Sister Zhang and I are outside. You don't have to come over. Let's leave it like this for now."

Lu Xingchen looked at the hung up phone for a moment, opened the address book and found Lu Wenli's number, but when she called it, it was an invalid number. She was not sure when he changed it, but she had no other contact information for him except this number.

Lu Xingchen hailed a taxi and went to Poly Garden Community because of Lu Wenli's matter and because of his own words that hurt Xu Fanghua.

Aunt Zhang made two new dishes for her when she came. Although Xu Fanghua accompanied her for dinner as usual, the atmosphere between them was indeed not as good as before.

Lu Xingchen didn't explain much. After hearing Xu Fanghua say that she had transferred back the total of 2.1 million yuan that Lu Wenli had transferred to her, she asked Lu Wenli for his new phone number again.

On the way back, she called Lu Wenli again. Lu Wenli answered the call, but hung up after hearing her voice.

In desperation, Lu Xingchen sent him a text message: Stop loss in time

After reading the text message for a while, he sent another one: If you have any problems, come to me and leave my mother alone.

In fact, he had many threats and warnings in his heart, but even if these words could make Lu Wenli feel guilty and fearful for a while, when something really happened and he needed to protect himself, he would still do anything.

Lu Xingchen put down the phone and looked at the busy road...May in Guangdong City is the time when flowers are in full bloom and leaves are lush, but flowers will wither and people will change. It's good enough for her to manage herself, why bother thinking about restricting others?

Thinking of this, Lu Xingchen straightened his back and walked towards the subway station.

The next morning, she still received a call from Li Zhen.

"Are you up yet?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingchen had already washed up. She put her phone on the table with the speakerphone on and went to change her clothes and get ready to go out.

Li Zhen asked again: "Did you miss me?"

Lu Xingchen paused as he buttoned his shirt. "You probably don't miss me as much as I do."

Li Zhen smiled helplessly, "You see, I like you enough to think you are right. I wanted to go to your place last night, but it was too late and I couldn't bear to disturb you."

Where did he stay so late? Lu Xingchen curled his lips slightly and went to the balcony to get a pair of clean socks.

Li Zhen didn't hear her answer and asked again, "What are you doing?"

Lu Xingchen said as he put on his socks: "Put on your shoes and get ready to go out."

Li Zhen didn't notice anything unusual about her over the phone. Although Lu Xingchen agreed to give him a chance, he clearly noticed that she was different from before.

I just don't know if these changes are due to her lack of trust in him or if she has really changed. Anyway, the person who used to be willing to tell him everything now rarely talks about herself on her own initiative and is not as conceited and bold as before.

Li Zhen wanted to ask her the reason several times, but once he mentioned it, she told him directly: "I am no longer Lu Dingsheng's daughter. If you mind, there is nothing I can do."

Of course he didn't mind, he just wanted her to see things more clearly, so he said, "I don't mind, and I don't want you to mind."

Lu Xingchen didn't answer. He asked again tentatively, "Why?"

Lu Xingchen said: "Just like I am not your mother's daughter, there is no reason."

Lu Xingchen has always been very independent. Even though she used to be the daughter of a wealthy family, she was still independent despite her capricious and domineering personality. Now she is even more independent and a little stubborn, fearing that others would think she needs help.

Likewise, she didn't want him to feel like she was relying on him.

This made Li Zhen feel sorry for her, but he couldn't help but wonder, does Lu Xingchen like him?

Thinking about this, Li Zhen said on the phone: "Lu Xingchen, can't you just tell me you miss me?"

Lu Xingchen had already put on her shoes and was about to end the call, but after hearing what he said, she thought about it and said, "I miss you."

Li Zhen was a little surprised. She rarely expressed it like this now, so she couldn't help but protest: "What should I do? I don't want to go on a business trip anymore!"

Lu Xingchen paused as she reached for her bag. "You...are going on a business trip again?"

Li Zhen sighed helplessly, "Yesterday's matter was not settled. The company that originally provided us with chips had some problems. Jiang Haicheng had something urgent to do and couldn't go, so Luo Shide and I flew abroad immediately. If everything goes well, we can be back in two weeks. If not, it will take longer."

The bag containing the computer suddenly became much heavier in his hand. Lu Xingchen hung his arms for a long time and said, "I understand."

Li Zhen suddenly asked her, "Why don't you go with me?"

Lu Xingchen put the bag on his back and went out, "Are you kidding?"

Li Zhen knew that his proposal was a bit excessive, but he still said, "I have been patient for almost ten days. I can't stand the thought that I have to endure another ten days before I can see you. Just come with me and treat it as a vacation."

Lu Xingchen walked in the dim stairwell, "Boss Li, wake up, money is much more reliable than me."

"Lu Xingchen..."

"Just kidding, but I really don't want to have a CEO boyfriend and then sit around doing nothing. I have my own job."

Having said this she couldn't help but think of her mother. Although she was willing and determined to let her mother live a worry-free life, from some perspectives, if her mother had had her own career in the past few decades, she wouldn't have ended up in her current situation.

Thinking of his mother and Lu Wenli, Lu Xingchen said to Li Zhen again: "I have to catch the subway. I'll contact you when you are free."
