It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Chu Mochen saw Lu Xia.
Lu Xia moved the afternoon tea time a little earlier and drank tea with him in the flower hall.
The aroma of black tea filled the air, and there were freshly baked Danish cookies on the table. The rich smell filled the air with a sweet smell.
"I was surprised that Mr. Chu came to visit."
Lu Xia wore a rose-red knee-length skirt and a beige sweater. The beige sweater made her skin look slightly rosy.
Although she is thirty-eight years old, she looks younger than her actual age. However, from the moment she sits down to the moment she speaks, she carries a seriousness and concentration that cannot be relaxed.
She and Gu Changge are both women with experience in the business world, but they have two completely different styles.
Gu Changge doesn't give people the impression of being too serious. She is very quiet, and people can't help but relax in front of her.
But if you really relax inside and out, you're dead.
Gu Changge will understand all your thoughts when you are relaxed, and will destroy you before you have time to reflect what she knows.
But Lu Xia would not give people such an illusion.
When Lu Xia is seen, people will make a judgment that is difficult to make.
Most people would appear highly nervous in front of Lu Xia, and might even become confused.
But people like Chu Mochen feel that Lu Xia's appearance is just right for him.
Because Lu Xia's attitude could be clearly seen by him.
She won't lie to him.
Because she didn't think it was necessary.
"Thank you very much, Miss Lu, for your hospitality."
Lu Xia curled the corners of her lips, lowered her eyelashes and picked up the red teacup: "Mr. Chu is a sensible person, and so am I. I am not in good health and cannot stay for too long. Mr. Chu, please be frank with me."
Chu Mochen also picked up the black tea and took a sip. He put down the tea cup with his slender fingers before raising his eyes: "The old man of the Xiao family seems to have asked Miss Lu for something before."
Lu Xia did not hide anything, nodded and said directly: "Xiao Xuan had some friendship with my young master when he was a child. The old man of the Lu family invited me to come because of the friendship between the two people, and asked me to protect his eldest grandson no matter what. "
"Miss Lu agreed?"
Lu Xia nodded: "The old man is about to die. I have to sell him a favor. Besides..."
She paused, as if she had thought of something, and said with a smile: "My young master, when he was a child, he valued Xiao Xuan as a friend. If the young master were alive, he would hope that I would agree to the old man's promise."
After Lu Xia finished speaking, the smile in his eyes was filled with the happiness of remembering something.
Chu Mochen looked at her and remembered the secrets of the Lu family in Hong Kong City that Gu Changge told her when she was a child.
Lu Xia was brought out of the orphanage by the young master of the Lu family at the age of six. After that, the Lu family raised Lu Xia like a noble lady, with fine clothing, food, and good care.
Fourteen years later, the young master Du Miao was assassinated.
The Lu family has no heirs, and Xiao Xuan turns against the Lu family.
The leader of the Lu family was exhausted, so he adopted Lu Xia as his adopted daughter and handed over the power to her.
Gu Changge's father, Gu Cheng, was the dominant family in Yuncheng back then, and the cooperative trade between Hong Kong City and his Gu family was indispensable.
Any turmoil, wedding, or wedding happenings among the aristocratic families in Hong Kong City would be spread to Yuncheng.
When the young master of the Lu family died, Gu Cheng went there in person. The following year, the Lu family adopted their adopted daughter, and both the Gu family and the Chu family also went to congratulate her.
However, Gu Cheng took Gu Changge with him that time.
In order to prevent the Lu family from thinking about their dead son, the Chu family left Chu Mochen in Yuncheng.
After Gu Changge left, Chu Mochen went to Gu's house to ask Gu Changge what was going on there.
Gu Changge relayed it to Chu Mochen as if it were a story.
What impressed me most was that Gu Changge said one sentence to describe Lu Xia at that time.
Gu Changge said: "I think that girl... is like the Lu family's watchdog."
The word "watchdog" carries a serious insult no matter who is used to refer to it.
But Gu Changge didn't mean these words in a derogatory way. She looked at him with a smile: "We bet that if Lu Xia can support the Lu family, you will ask your father to put the Chu family and the Gu family in Tianhong." How about sharing the same amount of dividends?”
Of course he would not agree, but Gu Changge's words seemed to be a prophecy, and more than ten years later, she proved that she was right.
It is impossible to figure out what Lu Xia's surname is, but he is definitely not a child of the Lu family.
After Lu Xia was given the surname Lu, he was indeed like the watchdog of the Lu family but used all means to defend the interests of the Lu family.
But in fact, it is no longer appropriate to say that Lu Xia is the Lu family's watchdog.
It should be said that Lu Xia is the patron saint of the Lu family.
It's a Shura.
Anyone who attempts to harm the Lu family will be mercilessly killed and contained.
Most people think that the reason why Lu Xia defends the interests of the Lu family is obvious. The Lu family has no heir. If the father of the young master of the Lu family does not have another son, then the identity of the heir must be given to Lu Xia.
Seeing that the entire Lu family had no successors, Lu Xia could certainly expect that the Lu family would belong to her sooner or later.
Since it belongs to her sooner or later, why doesn't she protect it well
Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible to understand Lu Xia's motivation to defend the Lu family.
But Chu Mochen felt that Lu Xia didn't seem to be just trying to get the Lu family.
Because although she and Gu Changge look essentially the same, their actions are different.
If it was to defend the Lu family, then Lu Xia should take advantage of this opportunity now.
She should not give up Xiao Luo, but should support Xiao Luo as a puppet, and then eat away at the Xiao family bit by bit.
The strange thing is that she has no intention of getting involved now.
Lu Xia saw him frowning in deep thought, and the smile on his lips was faint and a little sick: "You must be very confused as to why I sold the old man this favor and went back on my word."
Chu Mochen looked at her, trying to see some clues from her smiling eyes.
But this woman's eyes seem to hold everything, but you can't see what you want.
She put her finger on the black tea cup, smiled softly and sighed: "Actually, Mr. Chu is such a wise man, wouldn't he not know the stories of the Xiao family?"
"I have heard about what happened during Xiao Xuan's lifetime."
Lu Xia nodded: "In Hong Kong City, everything Xiao Xuan did during his lifetime has been regarded as an enduring topic, but after his death, few people knew that he only left behind the child Loki. What’s left?”
The corners of Chu Mochen's eyes twitched and his gaze locked on Lu Xia.
Lu Xia raised the corners of his lips and lowered his eyes to continue drinking tea: "The old man asked me to save the child's life, but he didn't say he asked me to keep his identity as his heir. I'm not going back on my promise."
Chu Mochen suddenly understood, and his eyes suddenly changed.
Lu Xia saw the sudden change in his eyes and put down the teacup: "Xiao Xuan is a smart man, and the child he left behind must also be smart. Although she is a daughter, if she has the ability, she can still control the entire Xiao family. This is what the old man thinks. , me too, what do you think, Mr. Chu?”
Chu Mochen suddenly stood up and suddenly understood what the Xiao family and the Lu family had planned.
Song Yunxuan is Xiao Xuan's daughter.
Lu Xia and Xiao Jiancheng both know!
They want to take Song Yunxuan back!
No wonder he gave up on Xiao Luo. It turned out that he had his mind set on Song Yunxuan.
In terms of means, this eldest granddaughter is indeed much better than that eldest grandson.
Thinking of this, Chu Mochen suddenly realized that he had misjudged the enemy from beginning to end.
He believed that to keep Song Yunxuan, the enemy must be the Huo family who wanted to kill Yunxuan.
However, now he understands that the enemy is actually the Xiao family and the Lu family who want Song Yunxuan to recognize her as her ancestor.
They will take away Song Yunxuan.
Take her away from him.
He glared at Lu Xia with a sinister expression, then turned and left immediately.
Although his steps were steady, he could not conceal the eagerness in his heart.
Behind him, Lu Xia lowered his eyes and drank tea, holding the tea cup with his thin fingers. His tone was cold but with a sarcastic smile that could understand his thoughts: "That girl moved so fast, is it too late for you to go back now?"
Chu Mochen paused in his steps, glanced sideways, his eyebrows were like cold knives, his frown became tighter, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly became much deeper.
Song Yunxuan has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.
He knew this from beginning to end, but what would Song Yunxuan do now
If she already knew that she was the daughter of the Xiao family, she would definitely go to Xina Hospital to meet the old man of the Xiao family.
He wanted to stop her.
Must stop!
…
Song Yunxuan was in the silent hospital corridor, looking quietly at the man lying on the bed inside through the glass door of the ICU ward.
Xiao Jiancheng.
A giant Buddha that the Xiao family still holds great power to this day.
No matter how much trouble his second son Xiao Yu and third son Xiao Liang made, he always insisted on making his eldest grandson Xiao Luo the heir of the Xiao family.
When she was still Gu Changge, she paid close attention to the Xiao family. Later, a series of accidents happened, she fell ill and was betrayed by her husband.
In a trance, like a terrible nightmare.
After waking up from the dream and being reborn, he was full of plans in Yuncheng, but unknowingly ignored the trends in Hong Kong City.
The Xiao family and the Gu family had a weak relationship. Now that Gu Changge is dead, it is time for people to leave and the Gu family should no longer have any friendship with the Xiao family.
But by chance, Shao Tianze appeared in the Gu family.
Shao Tianze is ambitious and will definitely use this weak relationship with the Xiao family to expand his path.
She didn't want Shao Tianze to use her Gu Changge's connections to do great things.
How come she, Gu Changge, has been working hard for so many years, yet he, Shao Tianze, can take everything she has and use it when he kills her
In Gu Changge's dictionary, the kindness and selflessness of making wedding clothes for others did not exist.
She looked at the old man of the Xiao family quietly, and after a moment, she turned and left.
However, she was not far away, in the ward next door.
She called the Huo family.
The call was not from a mobile phone, but from a landline.
As soon as the call was connected, she pressed the recording and play button on her phone.
A strange woman's voice came out urgently: "Atting, come quickly. I'm in the inpatient department of Xina Hospital. I'm about to give birth. I'm so scared when you're not with me."
The woman's voice was delicate and frightened, and just by listening to the voice, it seemed that she could feel her deep fear and worry.
The person who answered the phone at the Huo family did not move for a long time.
The recording is still playing: "A Ting? A Ting, why don't you answer me? Do you think you don't want me now? Didn't you say you would marry me after I give birth to a child and get divorced?! A Ting?" "
Snapped-
The sound of the phone hanging up came suddenly.
The busy tone that followed seemed to be stretched infinitely.
Song Yunxuan raised her eyelids slightly, and the smile on her lips was a little more lively.
The person who answered the phone must be excited, right
But finally caught Huo Ting's handle
If Huo Ting's father knew that Huo Ting had impregnated someone else's wife outside and was instigating a divorce, the scandal would be enough for Huo Qixiong to drive Huo Ting out of the main house like trash.
