In the early morning of the next day, a few rays of morning light leaked through the gaps in the mottled branches and leaves on the window sill, Ye Zhen woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes and stared at the roof blankly, until her brain regained consciousness, then she suddenly thought of porridge.
She remembered taking porridge's temperature last night.
Not caring too much, Ye Zhen threw off the quilt and got up, casually put on a coat and was about to go out, her eyes suddenly saw a post-it note on the bedside table, with each stroke penetrating through the back of the paper.
—Congee Congee’s body temperature is normal, so you don’t have to worry. The movie business has come to an end. I’ve worked hard recently. I’ll let you take a week off and rest at home.
Ye Zhen has no memory of how she got back to her room yesterday. After thinking about it, it should be Lu Beichuan who sent her back, but she didn't think too much. Congee's room, Aunt Yue is feeding Congee.
"Aunt Yue, how is Congee's temperature?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, stroking Congee's forehead.
Aunt Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, the doctor just checked in this morning, and there is no serious problem."
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, took the bottle from Aunt Yue's hand, "give it to me."
Aunt Yue took the baby bottle out of Congee's mouth, and sucked the little Congee who had been holding the bottle and closed her eyes to drink milk, but she didn't get any milk. I'm about to cry with my mouth deflated.
Ye Zhen quickly hugged the little ancestor and coaxed the little ancestor carefully: "Baby don't cry, mother is here."
The dumpling in her arms was small and thin, it was when she was fragile, she was afraid of bumping into it, Ye Zhen didn't dare to hold it too hard, for fear of strangling the child.
When Congee, who was about to cry, saw Ye Zhen, she burst into tears and laughed, and hugged Ye Zhen's neck like a monkey, so frightened that Ye Zhen hurriedly protected Congee's back neck and waist, Prevent his head from falling back and hurting.
The little guy didn't care about the nervousness of being a mother at all, he opened his eyebrows and giggled happily, saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, a pair of big star-like eyes stared at Ye Zhen for a moment, and there was something printed in his crystal-clear eyes. On Ye Zhen's nervous face, her smile became wider and wider, like a little fool.
Ye Zhen had no choice but to think of her own baby in her heart, and handed the bottle to Congee Congee's mouth, "Drink it obediently, Mom will be at home with you today."
Congee Porridge is a kid, so he felt good after hearing this, and he held the bottle and drank milk quietly, without anyone worrying about it.
After finishing the last drop, Congee Porridge Xian Bao grasped both sides of the bottle and handed it to Ye Zhen.
"Good boy, I've finished drinking!" Ye Zhen took a look, and kissed Congee Congee on the cheek, the milk was fragrant, and the soft baby fat made Ye Zhen couldn't help kissing again, "Mom is at home today Stay with the baby, okay?"
I don't know whether he understood or was kissed by Ye Zhen, Congee stared at his legs, danced and hugged Ye Zhen's neck extremely dependently.
Ye Zhen wanted to wash her face, brush her teeth and change her clothes, but the little ancestor hugged Ye Zhen's neck relentlessly, pulled him away, opened his mouth and began to cry.
Lu's mother, who was eating breakfast downstairs, heard the crying and rushed upstairs.
Usually in front of outsiders, Conge Congee is really very good-natured, he doesn't make any noise, even if he teases him, he doesn't care about others, and quietly scares Lu's mother for a long time so that she can't sleep well, lest there is something wrong with the child, take him to After seeing it at the hospital, Mother Lu was relieved when she said there was nothing wrong.
Later, I found out that this child is like that in front of others, but only here with Ye Zhen, the noise is like a little monkey about to turn the world upside down, when Ye Zhen is around, hold Ye Zhen tightly, once Ye Zhen wants to leave , crying loudly, like the sky is about to collapse, crying so pitifully, mother Lu's heart is about to break, it's useless to coax her, but as long as Ye Zhen really leaves, this monkey spirit will be like a little boy immediately I wiped my tears and went to play on my own, and no one paid attention.
Now Mother Lu also understands this little boy's tricks, and she doesn't feel sorry for him at all for pampering him in this matter.
"Zhenzhen, you go wash and change, I'll take him."
Ye Zhen hugged Congee who was crying and crying, and she was also anxious. The child didn't know what was wrong, and she couldn't stop coaxing her. When she saw Lu's mother, she looked at Congee who was hiccupping, "Then I Go and change your clothes first, Mom, look at some porridge."
"Well, let's go."
As soon as Ye Zhen put Congee on the bed, Congee immediately turned over and lay down on the bed, watching Ye Zhen howling, big teardrops fell from the sockets of her eyes, she grabbed Ye Zhen's clothes and refused to let her leave.
Ye Zhen didn't know why, so she thought it was because she was still sick, "Mom, what's wrong with porridge, are you feeling unwell? Is the doctor here?"
Lu's mother looked at the little ghost's little grandson, walked over, and pulled Ye Zhen away forcefully, "Okay, you go and change your clothes first, and I will ask Yuesao to call the doctor."
Ye Zhen took a few glances and almost staged a life-and-death porridge, "Then I'll go first."
As soon as Ye Zhen left, the door was closed, and the little guy's crying gradually became quieter. Maybe he knew that Ye Zhen had really left and didn't want to cry for anyone who cared, so he stopped crying, sobbing, Lying on the bed with her buttocks pouted, her back looks sad.
Mother Lu sat across from him, looking at him seriously.
"Lu Zhifei, how old are you? Where did you come up with so many bad ideas? Starting today, grandma will make an appointment with you for three chapters. In front of your mother, don't pretend to be pitiful!"
Nothing happened.
Mother Lu touched his head, moved him over, and continued, "Congee Congee, turn around and look at Grandma!"
Congee congee shrugged her small body, pursed her mouth, and stared at Lu's mother with her teary eyes without speaking.
Those are really exquisite eyes that are clear and bottomless. The washed black glass can't see the edge at a glance, but you will love it at a glance. Looking at you with such a pitiful and tearful appearance, how can you not feel pity.
Mother Lu's heart softened, and she just said a few words, she didn't have the heart to say anything about him, and quickly hugged him, "Congee Congee, don't cry, don't cry, grandma will take you to find mother now."
Fortunately, Ye Zhen had finished changing her clothes at this moment, Mother Lu was standing at the door of the bathroom with Congee in her arms, watching her wash up, and smiled.
Ye Zhen naturally finished her breakfast under Congee's attention. She sat on her lap with Congee in one hand, and ate breakfast with the other hand. She ate breakfast for nearly an hour.
The weather is still warm now. The polished marble floor in the living room is covered with several thick carpets. It is soft and warm to step on, and it does not hurt your feet at all. It is full of children's toys. Mother Lu put the porridge on the carpet. Let him play by himself.
But Porridge didn't seem to be interested in those toys at all, happily crawled towards Ye Zhen, hugged Ye Zhen's feet and smiled, Ye Zhen played with him and didn't move, just stretched in Ye Zhen's arms.
Lu's mother said that Congee Congee doesn't care about people and doesn't like to move recently. She sleeps or drinks milk all day long. She sits up with him and then lays down again. Other children will crawl. This child is still lazily lying on the bed. Stretch, Mother Lu's hair has turned gray several times recently.
Ye Zhen is really worried that this little guy will die of laziness when he grows up.
"Porridge, let's build a building block, shall we?"
Congee congee sat contentedly lying in Ye Zhen's arms, holding the bottle and ignoring her.
Ye Zhen was so coaxed that his mouth was dry, the little bastard still didn't answer, he didn't move at all, like a little slob, Ye Zhen slapped his little butt twice in anger, and didn't know it was because the diaper was too thick There was still too much meat, but the little bastard was not afraid of pain, and even grinned at her.
Really helpless, Ye Zhen really felt that it was much more difficult to take care of the children than in the movie, and when she was about to get up to take porridge upstairs, she heard porridge holding her trouser leg and shouted eagerly, "mama."
Much like 'Mom'.
Perhaps Ye Zhen didn't care about it for a while, and squatted down to pick up Porridge.
"mama..."
Ye Zhen heard it clearly this time, it was close to the voice of 'mother', but because the pronunciation was not standard, she could only vaguely hear the sound of 'mama', the tone was not on the line.
"Porridge porridge? Are you calling mom?"
Porridge laughed twice, opened his mouth, and shouted 'mama' twice.
"Mom!" Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, then her heart skipped a beat, she couldn't be more delighted, and she shouted upstairs: "Mom! Porridge will call mom!"
Lu's mother went upstairs and downstairs, "Can you call mom? Congee porridge, also call grandma to listen, come, tell grandma, grandma."
"mama..."
"Mom! Did you hear that?"
"Understood!" Mother Lu laughed and said, "Congee Congee is smarter than Beichuan. At that time, Beichuan would only call his mother when he was one year old. We will call Congee Congee before one year old. When we grow up, we will definitely be better than his father." Is it porridge porridge?"
Congee Congee smiled and spat a bubble at Mother Lu.
Mentioning Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen hastily dialed Lu Beichuan's phone number, wanting to share the news with Lu Beichuan immediately.
In the Lu's conference room, Lu Beichuan listened to the chief financial officer's financial report for this quarter with frowned eyes. The atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely quiet, and everyone held their breaths. Except for the voice of the chief financial officer, there was not a single sound to be heard. .
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
Lu Beichuan's phone turned on, it was Ye Zhen.
The chief financial officer stopped talking, and everyone looked at Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan thought for a moment, then connected the phone.
"Mr. Lu! Porridge will call mom! Listen!" Ye Zhen's joyful voice came from the phone, which was very clear in this silent conference room.
Everyone froze, then lowered their heads and looked away.
Lu Beichuan got up expressionlessly, and glanced at everyone, "The meeting will be suspended for ten minutes."
After speaking, he strode out of the conference room, and everyone in the conference room heaved a long sigh of relief.
Outside the meeting room, Lu Beichuan answered the phone, his face softened instantly, and he listened to Ye Zhen's chattering voice on the phone with a smile on his lips.
"Porridge, please tell Dad!"
Just now I was yelling well, but now I don't say a word when facing the phone.
"I said it well just now..." Ye Zhen muttered, looking frustrated.
"mama..."
The haze on Ye Zhen's face dissipated in an instant, and she was overjoyed, "Mr. Lu, did you hear that?"
"Understood." Lu Beichuan had a doting and warm smile on his face, "I will call my mother when I hear porridge, Mrs. Lu, congratulations."
Ye Zhen laughed so hard that she couldn't speak, and somehow wanted to cry.
At this moment, I truly feel that as a mother, when she hears her child calling her mother, all her sacrifices are worthwhile. This child deserves her to use all her strength to protect him, love him, and love him. The hardships of being pregnant in October are still vivid in my mind, and the pain during childbirth is still painful when I think about it, but now I feel that it is worth it.
That night, Lu Beichuan deliberately ended his work schedule early and went home. As soon as he stepped into the house, the whole villa was filled with laughter.
After a day of exhausting work, the corners of Lu Beichuan's mouth involuntarily curled slightly, and all the exhaustion dissipated.
"Beichuan, why did you come back so early today? Have you had dinner yet? I'll have someone warm it up for you."
Lu Beichuan took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, "Mom, don't be too busy, I ate at the company, where is Zhenzhen?"
"I went upstairs," Mother Lu chuckled, "Porridge Porridge will call Mommy, Zhenzhen has been happy all day, you go up and accompany her."
Lu Beichuan understood what Lu's mother meant, there was no flaw on his face, and he nodded and went upstairs with a blank expression as always.
In the room, Ye Zhen was reading the painting on the bed with porridge.
"This is a big tiger and this is a little lion..."
Hearing the voice that couldn't hide his smile, Lu Beichuan lowered his head and laughed, walked into the room, and saw Ye Zhen holding Congee while pointing to an animal atlas spread out in front of him to teach Congee Recognize those cartoon animals.
"Mr. Lu, come back so early today, aren't you busy?"
"It's okay," Lu Beichuan sat down beside Ye Zhen, and listened to Ye Zhen's teaching, "This is a little mouse, this is a little rabbit, the little rabbit is white and white, with its ears pricked up..."
Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen's cheeks full of smiles. Under the light, his skin was fair and translucent, and the fine hairs seemed to be clearly visible. Everyone said that looking at a beauty under the light had a special charm. Lu Beichuan didn't know that he was deeply involved in it, almost because The instinct of a man gently kissed Ye Zhen on the cheek.
Caught off guard, Ye Zhen was defenseless, but she didn't show any resistance, she just looked at Lu Beichuan, then at Congee, lowered her voice, a little embarrassed, "What are you doing, Congee is here!"
Lu Beichuan's voice was hoarse, "He doesn't understand."
"He's so young, don't take him down!"
Being held in Ye Zhen's arms, Congee Congee, who Lu Beichuan couldn't understand, stretched out his hand and slapped Lu Beichuan's face, glaring at him angrily.
Ye Zhen lowered her head and endured so much pain, she couldn't help it, and suppressed a smile, "Mr. Lu, you are still young and don't understand anything, so don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Congee's slap woke Lu Beichuan up. He looked at Congee with displeasure, the more he looked at Congee, the more he felt that this little bastard did it on purpose, and in Lu Beichuan's eyes, this little bastard was not afraid of tigers at this moment. , looking at him with impertinence, lazily leaning on Ye Zhen's arms, with a look of being pampered and proud, with the words 'I have a backer' written on his face.
But with just such a glance, Lu Beichuan looked away, thinking that he was amused, and he was so fussy with his slapped son.
"Okay, you have taken care of the baby for a day, you are tired and the baby is tired too, give me the porridge, and I will send him to the baby room to sleep."
It's good that Lu Beichuan didn't mention it, but when Ye Zhen mentioned it, the muscles all over her body became stiff, especially her arms and shoulders, and it was extremely sore to move casually.
"I'll put him to sleep first, you go take a bath first."
Lu Beichuan glanced at the porridge that was going into Ye Zhen's arms, and without saying a word, he found his clothes and walked into the bathroom.
About half an hour later, Porridge was coaxed to sleep by Ye Zhen and sent to the baby room. Lu Beichuan came out of the bathroom. Ye Zhen paid attention to the time and raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Lu, why do you take a bath better than women?" Return the ink, half an hour?"
Lu Beichuan's whole body was wet, water dripped from his wet hair, and his pajamas were quite wet.
He said concisely, "The hot water is broken." Then he went to the study.
Ye Zhen stepped into the bathroom and tried the water temperature.
What's wrong? Ye Zhen muttered.
The twilight fell into place, and the noisy villa gradually quieted down. Lu Beichuan leaned on the bedside to read the latest news. Ye Zhen was still studying in the field of filmmaking, which he was not familiar with. Lu Beichuan asked about what happened today. There should be two sentences.
When the clock reached 10:30, Ye Zhen yawned, put down the documents in her hand and prepared to rest, Lu Beichuan asked casually, "There will be a banquet in two days, and I need to bring a female companion."
Ye Zhen was very sleepy, and asked in a daze, "When?"
"Next Wednesday."
"Okay." Ye Zhen is very self-aware as Mrs. Lu, "I will definitely not embarrass you when the time comes."
Lu Beichuan's smile was hidden in the shadow of the light, blurry.
Family business, everything seems to be developing in a good direction, and all the plots in the novel seem to have changed completely. There is no need to pay attention to other people.
When she remembered the reception appointment with Lu Beichuan on Wednesday and knew who was hosting the reception, she was in a daze for a long time.
The banquet that Lu Beichuan mentioned was actually a birthday party, but the owner of the birthday was the wife of the mayor of Haibin. At the cocktail party, they were full of splendor.
Isn't this the reception where Ye Qing was generous and brilliant in the novel
Because of Ye Qing's performance, the mayor's wife was quite satisfied, and she praised Ye Qing for her generosity, decency, knowledge and understanding. Well, it made the mayor look at Lin Zhan differently.
This is a new starting point for Lin Zhan.
But Ye Zhen was very curious if she could still see Ye Qing at this reception.
"What's wrong?" Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen who couldn't help but tighten his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Nervous?"
Ye Zhen pulled her halterneck dress, shook her head, "No, I just thought that Porridge was at home alone..."
The air pressure in Lu Beichuan's body dropped in vain, and he was very dissatisfied with Ye Zhen thinking about congee and porridge every day, but he was just a brat who would call mother twice.
"Mom will take care of him, don't worry."
This was originally just an excuse, once Lu Beichuan said this, Ye Zhen stopped talking.
Soon, the hotel arrived.
The doorman opened the door, Lu Beichuan got out of the car first, and then stood outside the car to help Ye Zhen get out of the car. Ye Zhen held Lu Beichuan's arms, as if they were a pair of lovers.
At this moment, a lot of people came to the reception. Lu Beichuan and his wife came, which attracted many people's attention. After all, as far as Shang is concerned, the Lu family's status is one of the best, and their strength should not be underestimated.
The mayor and his wife were laughing and chatting among the crowd. Someone came over and whispered something in the mayor's ear. The mayor raised his glass to the crowd and said with a smile, "Everyone please do your own thing. I'll come as soon as I go."
A group of people smiled and greeted.
The mayor's wife took the mayor's hand and walked in front of Lu Beichuan and his wife. She smiled and looked at the rumored Mrs. Lu, "I've always been curious about what the lady hidden by Mr. Lu looks like. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things." , I finally saw you today."
Mayor Zhou is over fifty years old, but he is diligent in exercising, does not look old, and is still handsome in a suit.
Ye Zhen held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Where, I have never had the opportunity to meet you, madam. It is my honor to meet you today."
Lu Beichuan didn't pick on Joe in front of the mayor, "Today is Madam's birthday, and Zhenzhen and I are here to celebrate your birthday on behalf of the Lu family. I wish you eternal youth. Please accept any kindness."
For this kind of exchange between levels, everything is carefully considered. It can't be too expensive to avoid gossip, and it can't be too shabby to avoid being laughed at. Lu Beichuan chose a valuable necklace as a gift.
"This is the necklace I got from the charity auction last time. I hope Madam will accept it."
Mrs. Zhou glanced at the necklace and said that it was obtained from a charity auction, but in fact, those who understand know it in their hearts.
It's just using charity as a cover.
"Thank you Mr. Lu, I like it very much."
Mayor Zhou glanced at Lu Beichuan without leaving a trace, and after both of them had a drink, someone whispered something in his ear. Mayor Zhou smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, please do what you want, I have something to do. , Excuse me for a moment."
Lu Beichuan nodded slightly, watching Mayor Zhou approach the other visitors enthusiastically.
Holding the wine glass, Ye Zhen walked through the crowd calmly and said in a low voice, "Why do you say that the necklace was obtained at a charity auction?"
Lu Beichuan didn't hide it either, "Because only charity can prevent people from being framed."
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Beichuan drank the wine calmly, looked at all kinds of people in the reception, "You don't understand if you haven't been involved in it, the line between government and business has never been clear, you just need to know, whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, there is no real A clean person is right."
Of course Ye Zhen understood this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Beichuan, "What about you? What color are you?"
Lu Beichuan's eyes paused, then turned away as if nothing had happened, "I will turn white."
In the novel, Lu Beichuan is ruthless in the shopping malls, and the collusion between government and businessmen is always harmful. I don't know how many illegal means have been used to suppress how many companies. It is said that he is walking in a gray area between black and white, but in fact it has long been black.
But thinking about it, in the past year, Ye Zhen has also paid attention to the companies suppressed by Lu Beichuan in the novel, and now they are all surviving well, which proves that Lu Beichuan has never attacked those companies, and the methods are at least clean so far.
"I'll take you to meet some people."
Ye Zhen smiled and took Lu Beichuan's hand, wandering among the celebrities in the business world, with ease.
It's just that there are many eyes on her outside the court, which don't seem to be very friendly.
Ye Zhen followed her gaze and saw a place where women gathered, Shen Weiyin really respected her from a distance, Ye Qing stood behind Shen Weiyin, looking at her expressionlessly.
Looking at Ye Qing, Ye Zhen looked at Lu Beichuan with a smile on her face.
Interesting, Ye Qing is also here, I don't know if she will have the chance to witness the famous scene in the novel.
Under this gaze, Lu Beichuan frowned slightly, and for some reason, there was a trace of coolness behind his back.
