For a moment, Lu Shizhen felt that the whole world was quiet.
Yuanzi wagged its tail happily at its other owner, but received no response from her.
Lu Shizhen slowly raised his eyes, and unexpectedly his eyes met Xu Shiyue's lowered eyes.
The sunlight outside the window poured down onto the stairwell from the direction of Xu Shiyue, so bright that it hurt people's eyes.
The hand that was tightly holding the photo tightened slightly. Lu Shizhen knew that Xu Shiyue could only see the light and could not see the photo that fell on the ground, but for some reason he felt extremely guilty.
Really, why not confiscate these things and just put them back into Lu Shize's hands!
"That I..."
"Ten moons."
Just when Lu Shizhen was wondering whether she should say something as if nothing had happened, Lu Shize's voice came from behind her.
Xu Shiyue seemed to have come downstairs because Lu Shize was looking for her. She calmly withdrew her gaze from Lu Shizhen and politely replied, "Mr. Lu."
"Come to the reception room opposite the living room." Lu Shize's voice returned to its usual low tone and he gestured to Xu Shiyue.
"I understand, Mr. Lu." Xu Shiyue nodded, gently pulled the armrest in her hand, and signaled Yuanzi to lead her to the meeting room.
She seemed to be completely unaware of the conversation between Lu Shizhen and Lu Shize just now, and silently ignored Lu Shizhen who was standing beside her.
I don’t know if it was Lu Shizhen’s illusion, but she felt that Xu Shiyue seemed to glance at her as he passed by her.
Without waiting for her to react, the girl's soft slippers stepped right over the photo that she had dropped on the ground.
Lu Shizhen looked at the photo she was about to pick up, and her throat rolled dully: "Qiuqiu, is there a possibility that Xu Shiyue can see it?"
"Impossible host. Xu Shiyue's current physical data is simply not enough to support her recovery of vision." Qiuqiu floated over holding a piece of potato chips.
"That's too much." Lu Shizhen said as she picked up the photo that Xu Shiyue had just stepped on, and politely dusted off the body of Assistant Director Sun's sister. "I'm sorry, Miss Sun, Xu Shiyue didn't mean to do that. She can't see."
The warm sunlight shone in the hall on the first floor, and the shadow of the footsteps that paused was not very obvious.
Before anyone noticed, the sound of the door closing separated the two rooms.
Lu Shizhen squatted on the ground and looked at the door that had just been closed. He couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Qiuqiu, Xu Shiyue was just called in by my brother. Can you sneak in and see what happened inside?"
"I'm sorry, host. The system does not allow you to stay in an independent space without the host." Qiuqiu was a little apologetic, and then she suggested, "But we have Xu Shiyue's body data monitoring. If anything happens, we can rush in in time."
It can only be the.
Lu Shizhen sighed. She didn’t know what Lu Shize’s attitude towards Xu Shiyue was now.
In order to be able to appear in time to protect Xu Shiyue just in case, Lu Shizhen stood up from the ground and sat back on the sofa in the living room facing the reception room.
.
The door of the not-too-big reception room was closed, as if it blocked out all sounds from the outside world.
Two floor-to-ceiling windows bring the surrounding bamboo scenery into the room, making it look particularly peaceful and elegant.
Xu Shiyue couldn't see it, so she wasn't interested in these things. She asked Lu Shize directly, "Mr. Lu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Her voice was deeper than ever before, filled with a cold and distant feeling.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shize put down the seal he was playing with.
He did not answer Xu Shiyue's question, but asked: "What do you think of the Xu family?"
"I don't have any opinion. If it's mine, I will definitely take it back. If it's not mine, I have no interest in it." Xu Shiyue replied calmly.
"Yeah." Lu Shize nodded in approval, and then continued: "Luo Ji woke up two days ago. I know that you only have a newly established artificial intelligence company. Do you have any plans for this company?"
"If possible, I want Mr. Lu to take over the company and make him the shareholder in the open. This will give the impression that the Lu family took me in just to get the benefits from me, but ended up with nothing and only gained some petty profits."
Xu Shiyue's voice was steady and smooth, as if she had prepared for it long ago.
In fact, she had thought about this matter before.
Luo Ji's side is short of manpower and is too exposed, so this method is the best way to hide them.
"A small profit can also generate a lot of output value." Lu Shize slightly curled his lips and looked up at Xu Shiyue, "Aren't you afraid that I will really swallow up your only company?"
"You won't." Xu Shiyue answered confidently.
Lu Shize was a little curious: "How do you know I can't?"
"Because Lu Shizhen won't let you do that."
Without hesitation, Xu Shiyue pointed out the bond that enabled her and Lu Shize to work together now.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have reached its lowest point.
The lens reflected Lu Shize's eyes, which were as sharp as a knife: "Ms. Xu, you'd better not use Zhenzhen to plot against her."
For some things, thinking about them in your mind and speaking them out loud to your friends are two different things.
Xu Shiyue knew clearly that she needed Lu Shize's power, and the only person who could help her control Lu Shize was Lu Shizhen.
But this weak spot was in her hand, but she didn't know how to use force.
The threat that he had been thinking about for a long time suddenly froze, and then turned into a reminder-like promise: "Mr. Lu doesn't want to involve her in these things, right?"
As if they had reached an agreement on something, the sharpness in Lu Shize's eyes faded a little.
He just looked at the thin girl in front of him and didn't say anything.
The sunlight came from one side, making Xu Shiyue's skin look pale.
It is rare that he can survive the family struggle and be so calm and steady despite his frail appearance that seems unable to bear the heavy pressure.
"According to the consistent level of your school, it will be easy to get a ranking. You don't have to review for the exam, and you will have a lot of free time in the second half of the year. I think you should be aware that the sooner your family's affairs are resolved, the better it will be for you."
Xu Shiyue nodded: "Yes."
Everything is best dismantled in the early stages. If it develops into a mature interest group, it will be difficult to destroy it.
Perhaps he was following orders from his family, or perhaps he valued her talent, Lu Shize said to Xu Shiyue: "I will teach you personally, you must be prepared."
Xu Shiyue still had that neither humble nor arrogant look, and nodded slightly to Lu Shize: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Don't thank me so early. I don't like stupid students."
Lu Shize's voice was low and strict, and he raised his head slightly as he spoke.
However, the blurry shadow had a bit of the same arrogance and awkwardness as Lu Shizhen, which made people see through it at a glance.
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Shiyue paused suddenly as if he had noticed something.
She didn't know why such an idea suddenly came to her mind. She actually kept Lu Shizhen in her mind and her brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"I will contact you in advance of the class. This is my personal WeChat account. Please scan it." Lu Shize did not notice Xu Shiyue's subtle changes and continued to make arrangements for her. "Auntie Sun has also given you some books that you will need. Make good use of them."
"I know you have difficulty seeing things right now, but many basic economics textbooks are available in Braille. They're available at the provincial library. You can look for them according to the list I gave you."
"Okay." Xu Shiyue nodded and wrote them all down.
Perhaps because Lu Shizhen, the biggest obstacle in the original text, was no longer there, Xu Shiyue and Lu Shize reached a consensus very quickly.
However, the cooperative relationship based solely on interests and tasks did not make their relationship any better. After saying everything that needed to be said, Lu Shize turned around and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he pushed open the door, a sneaky figure immediately appeared in his sight and flashed past.
It’s Lu Shizhen.
Lu Shize didn't know for a moment whether he should laugh at this person's childish attempt to cover up his guilt, or feel helpless that she didn't trust him.
Rubbing Lu Shizhen's head, Lu Shize said, "Zhenzhen, brother is gone, take care of yourself."
Lu Shizhen was powerless to resist Lu Shize's hand, so she stuffed the confiscated photo back into Lu Shize's hand, and said in a half-farewell and half-reminder: "Goodbye, brother. Don't bring any more things here!"
Lu Shize looked at the information that he had spent a lot of effort to compile and laughed helplessly.
Without saying anything, he got into the car accompanied by his bodyguards.
The sunlight flowed on the dark Rolls-Royce, following him as he slowly drove out of the yard.
Lu Shizhen saw that Lu Shize had already left, turned back with some worry, and looked at Xu Shiyue: "Brother didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
This person was still so reckless, and he came into his sight while speaking.
A faint golden light was vaguely visible in Xu Shiyue's sight, just like the sun on the dome.
Xu Shiyue pursed her lips and shook her head, "No, Mr. Lu gave me a list of books."
Lu Shizhen immediately understood that Lu Shize was planning to give Xu Shiyue some special treatment, and nodded, "This is a good thing. Brother is very capable, you can learn from him, maybe you can get back the things you left at Xu's house faster."
Xu Shiyue continued, "I want to go out for a while today and borrow some books from the library. I'll be back before dinner."
Lu Shizhen nodded happily upon hearing this.
She fully supported Xu Shiyue going to the library to study, but the shadow of the last incident had not yet dissipated from her heart. As she spoke, she began to worry about Xu Shiyue's safety again.
What if Xu Shouxian’s men come out again and want to kill Xu Shiyue
Her points had just increased, and the last time she risked it was enough to make her feel sad, and she didn't want to risk it again.
It’s not about being stingy with your points, it’s better to be cautious about this matter.
Lu Shizhen still feels that apart from Qiuqiu, who is at a higher technological level than the current ones, no one can be trusted.
After thinking about it for a while, she made up her mind and took the initiative to say, "Okay, I'll pack up and go with you later."
"You?" Xu Shiyue was a little confused.
"Yes." Lu Shizhen nodded and took out the invincible shield of "physics". "You read the book over there, and I will sit next to you with the physics exercise book. This way, if there are any questions you don't understand, I can ask you directly after you take a rest. It saves time and effort, and is more efficient."
"Haven't we fallen behind on several classes? I have to catch up."
A gust of wind blew outside the window, and the shadows of the trees swayed in Xu Shiyue's sight.
When Lu Shizhen finished speaking, Xu Shiyue narrowed his eyes slightly.
That indescribable feeling surged up again, making her feel unhappy for no apparent reason.
"Heh." A light laugh brushed Lu Shizhen's earlobe.
Completely defenseless.
Lu Shizhen suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Shiyue who was standing in front of him with some confusion.
The sunlight shone through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows and fell directly between the two of them, causing some blinding sensation.
Xu Shiyue slowly raised her eyelashes in Lu Shizhen's sight, with a little alienation between her eyebrows: "I thought Mr. Lu introduced Ms. Lu to General Assistant Sun's sister, so he didn't need me anymore."
