"Then let me ask you, do you love Su Youzhang?"
Secretary Shen glanced at Su Youzhang, saw him nodding slightly, and replied with a stumble, "Love."
"Will you marry him?"
"This..." Secretary Shen couldn't answer.
Lu Zhen said seriously: "Even if you are willing, the Su family will not let you in, so if you are with him, you can only be a mistress. Are you willing to compromise like this?"
Su Youzhang: "..."
Secretary Shen also had a difficult expression on his face and said with a guilty conscience: "Yes, I am willing."
Lu Zhen continued: "What a woman who is willing to give everything for love, but since you can't get in, someone will definitely take Mrs. Su's place. That person is me. If you become my husband's mistress, you know How will I punish you?"
Su Youzhang: "..."
Secretary Shen: "..."
The miserable Secretary Shen couldn't pretend anymore, but Mr. Su gave her a wink that made her want to leave but couldn't, and she wanted to answer but couldn't.
Lu Zhen raised her delicate chin and said, "If you seduce my husband, I will find a way to make you die on the street."
Su Youzhang: "..."
Secretary Shen: "..."
Finally, Lu Zhen said with a smile: "However, I won't do this to you, because I know that Secretary Shen, you are not Su Youzhang's girlfriend at all. He forced you to do it, and you came in to cooperate with him out of desperation. Isn’t it?”
Except that Lu Zhen was particularly confused when it came to dealing with Su Youzhang, in other matters, she had the agility to learn without a teacher.
Secretary Shen no longer dared to speak.
Su Youzhang frowned and said, "Lu Zhen, you are also someone who has drank foreign ink, so don't you know the word "retreat despite difficulties?"
“The spirit we learn is to move forward courageously.”
Su Youzhang: "..."
Seeing him sigh deeply, Lu Zhen laughed, walked up to him, and said like bullshit ointment: "Su Youzhang, we have known each other for such a long time, shall we have dinner together tomorrow?"
"I'm not free." Su Youzhang responded lightly, expressionless.
"Liar, I asked your mother, and Mrs. Su said that tomorrow is Sunday and you are free all day."
"..." Su Youzhang's handsome eyebrows curled up, his face darkened, and he said very unhappy: "Have you even inquired about my home?"
"I didn't take the initiative to inquire about this. Your mother came to our home as a guest and told me herself."
"Why did my mother come to your house as a guest?"
"Come to visit my grandpa."
Su Youzhang had nothing to say, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Silly girl, I'm warning you, you can act nonsense, but don't go in front of my parents and say something you shouldn't say, otherwise, I won't spare you."
"What are the things that shouldn't be said?" Lu Zhen didn't understand. In her heart, she could say whatever she wanted to her parents. She had already told her parents that she liked Su Youzhang. Instead of scolding her, her parents even laughed at her. She is full of love.
"Think about it yourself." Su Youzhang didn't want to tell her more, so he took his coat, stood up and left.
*
Lu Zhen returned home from a loss, had a few glasses of wine with her loving father, had a heart-to-heart talk, and came back to life full of blood.
Ding Zhenghua came over to check in. Lu Zhen pulled his sleeve and said helplessly: "Brother Zhenghua, Su Youzhang is so difficult to deal with."
"How to say?"
"I go to him every day and confess my feelings to him every day, but he still ignores me."
Ding Zhenghua glanced at her, with complicated emotions in his eyes, "I'm unhappy because of myself. Don't go to him again in the future."
"That won't work. It's so rare for me to meet someone I like. If I give up like this, I'll regret it until I die."
"Then your unhappiness is your own fault."
Lu Zhen pursed her lips, "So, why doesn't he like me? I'm so beautiful and interesting."
Her narcissistic words made Ding Zhenghua frown. He took a deep look at her from top to bottom and sighed, "Beauty is beautiful, but the eyesight is bad. If you fall in love with a man with no appearance, sooner or later, you You have to die because of your beauty.”
"That's not what you're saying. Brother Zhenghua, Su Youzhang is not just a good person. If his character were not that good, he wouldn't have rejected me over and over again. He would have just accepted me and slept with me. How happy he would be."
"..." Ding Zhenghua's head was full of black lines, "You really dare to say anything."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Too unreserved." Ding Zhenghua commented. After thinking about it, he turned around and gave her a reminder, "If he doesn't like you all the time, just give up. It is beautiful when two people are in love. In this world, some things change from one day to the next." It was doomed from the beginning.”
Lu Zhen drank and didn't talk. She didn't believe in the word "destined".
On Saturday, Lu Zhen couldn't make an appointment with Su Youzhang, so she went to stay at the restaurant he frequented.
Unexpectedly, she was made to wait until Su Youzhang came. He came with a man and a woman. The three of them sat at the window and browsed the menu.
At that time, supplies were scarce and the stores were simple. There were not so many fancy dishes, just ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Su Youzhang ordered the food, and as soon as he closed the menu, Lu Zhen rushed out. This time she was smarter and didn't wear those weird clothes. She was wearing a light floral shirt and a gray houndstooth knee-length skirt. Her long hair is tied up high, giving her a beautiful and intellectual look.
Looking at Su Youzhang, Lu Zhen smiled brightly and said, "Su Youzhang, I just said you would come here for dinner today."
Su Youzhang frowned deeply, "Miss Lu, why are you here again?"
"Of course I'm here to meet you." Lu Zhen said words that made people blush and heartbeat, and sat next to Su Youzhang. When Su Youzhang refused to sit in at first, she pushed him and insisted on sitting on the same sofa with him.
Su Youzhang was helpless, holding his chin with an unhappy expression.
At this time, a man and a woman across the dining table were looking at Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen felt that they were coming true. She looked back with an arrogant and lazy smile, "Hi! Good afternoon, are you friends with Su Youzhang?"
The woman opposite has long black hair, and her face is not particularly beautiful, but she has an excellent temperament and a fresh and innocent flavor. "Are you organized?"
"Girlfriend." Lu Zhen said without thinking.
The woman was startled and bit her lower lip.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Youzhang shouted at her and said coldly, "She is thinking about Ruan."
"Ah?" Lu Zhen looked confused, "Is she your ex-girlfriend?"
Su Youzhang: "..."
Ruan is thinking: "..."
Lu Zhen smiled and stretched out her hand, "Hello, ex-girlfriend, I am Su Youzhang's future wife."
Ruan on the opposite side is thinking: "..."
Su Youzhang closed his eyes, thinking that the ghost was still there.
Lu Zhen was unaware of his state of mind, poked his narrow waist, and asked: "Su Youzhang, why are you still in contact with your ex-girlfriend? Isn't this causing a misunderstanding?"
"What misunderstanding?"
"It's just a misunderstanding that made me think you have a bad character."
The corner of Su Youzhang's mouth twitched slightly, "Then you misunderstand me. It's best to misunderstand me for a lifetime."
"Don't be like this. You want me to misunderstand you so much that it makes me a little embarrassed." Lu Zhen glanced at him sideways, her eyes bright, "Forget it, it's not easy for us to sit at the same table to eat. So, I decided not to misunderstand you."
"..." Su Youzhang raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "I don't care."
"That's all I have to say. By the way, Su Youzhang, what did you order? Did you order my share?"
"You weren't here just now, how can I order your portion?"
"Then call the waiter over quickly."
Su Youzhang: "..."
He had the urge to strangle Lu Zhen to death.
In the end, Ruan Zaiwan waved, called the waiter over, and handed the menu to Lu Zhen, "Miss Lu, look at what you want to eat."
Lu Zhen then ordered the dishes without ceremony.
Finally, she put down the menu and said to the waiter: "That's it. Desserts will be served after we finish."
"Okay." The waiter took the menu and left.
The man sitting next to Ruan Zaixiang was smoking a cigarette and asked: "You ordered so much, can you finish it?"
In this era, frugality is a virtue, so wasting food is a shameful act.
Lu Zhen glanced at him and found that this man was also very handsome. He should be Su Youzhang's good brother Lin Xiaodong. She smiled and said, "Who knows? It looks good, so I just ordered it. Don't tell me, I I haven’t had food from Beijing in many years, and I really miss it.”
Lin Xiaodong smiled meaningfully, "Then you can eat more later."
During the meal, Lu Zhen watched Lin Xiaodong peeling shrimp shells for Ruan Zai, and pointed at them with chopsticks strangely, "What's the relationship between you two?"
"They are lovers." Su Youzhang said with a straight face.
"Ah?" Lu Zhen was confused again, "Are they a couple? Isn't Ruan Zai thinking your ex-girlfriend?"
Su Youzhang rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk any more.
