MTL - The Whole World Wants Them To Get Divorced-Chapter 52
The woman wears a warm-colored sweater on the upper body, fluffy cotton trousers on the lower body, a loose ponytail on the back of her head, and her face is turned to the sky, she is as cute as a little wife who is waiting for the other half to come back.
Lu Xi thought she was the one who was waiting.
The little wife said that she had an appointment with someone and was going out soon.
Aunt Zhao felt that the surroundings became thin, looked at Lu Xi, who was surrounded by low air pressure, and looked at Si Yu, who had a relaxed expression, and said cautiously, "Miss Si, are you going out? "
"Yes." Si Yu smiled and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Aunt Zhao, and said, "You two eat slowly, try not to waste it."
Before they could react, Si Yu turned around and jumped up to the second floor, and went into the room to change clothes.
Aunt Zhao felt that the porcelain bowl in her hand was heavy, and she carefully looked at Lu Xi's face: "Miss Lu, she is..."
Lu Xi looked at a room on the second floor unpredictably, her beautiful lips pursed into a straight line.
Aunt Zhao felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she closed her mouth at the right time.
“Ding Dong—”
Si Yu was humming a song to find clothes when the phone rang, picked it up, and clicked on the voice sent by Xiao Xia: "Xiao Yu Xiaoyu, have you left?"
Si Yu replied: "I'm changing clothes, don't rush."
After changing clothes, Si Yu put on a light make-up, then tied a cute ball head, and went downstairs with a coat.
At the dining table, Lu Xi and Aunt Zhao sat face to face with different expressions.
When she heard footsteps, Aunt Zhao stood up and looked at Si Yu, who made her eyes bright, and said, "Miss Si, are you in such a hurry to leave?" He looked at Lu Xi on the opposite side suggestively.
Lu Xi looked at Si Yu without saying a word, his eyes slowly swept her from head to toe, and noticed that she had changed into a tight sweater that showed her figure, and tight pencil pants that showed her legs. , the makeup is just right, and the shiny lip gloss makes her look fresh and delicious.
Who is she dating and needs her to dress up like this?
Lu Xi frowned, her eyes were heavy, and she did not ask her.
Si Yu felt her scrutiny, looked at her calmly, smiled and said, "I almost forgot to say happy birthday to you."
Happy?
"..." Lu Xi's thin lips pursed tightly.
Si Yuquan didn't see it, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, bye."
After the bright color left, the whole house was eclipsed.
Aunt Zhao regrets it a little now, she would have taken leave to accompany her daughter if she knew earlier. But on second thought, wouldn't it be very desolate if you even left and left Lu Xi alone?
Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table covered with a thermal cover, Aunt Zhao was at a loss.
Today, Si Yu suddenly went shopping with her on a whim, saying that Lu Xi wanted to cook for Lu Xi himself on her birthday, Aunt Zhao thought that the relationship between the two had taken a higher level. So happy for a long time.
Seeing Si Yu cooking seriously, Aunt Zhao still wonders how she has such a virtuous wife, Miss Lu Xi is really happy.
In the end, I never expected that Si Yu carefully cooked a table of dishes and ran away like this.
With her ability to observe words and expressions, Aunt Zhao could sense that something was wrong between Si Yu and Lu Xi. But looking at Lu Xi's expression, she didn't have the courage to ask if she was given one million.
Aunt Zhao didn't spend much time with Lu Xi. Although Lu Xi was very polite and friendly to her, it gave her a sense of alienation. She suddenly didn't know how to communicate with the hostess, she wanted to say a few good words for Si Yu to comfort Lu Xi, but she was afraid that she would do bad things with good intentions.
Lu Xi stared at the door connecting the living room and the garage for half a minute, then looked away and saw Aunt Zhao, who was sitting on pins and needles across from her, and said, "It's okay, let's eat by ourselves."
Aunt Zhao didn't look like she was okay at all, and she didn't dare to say more, she opened the lid anxiously and helped her to serve the soup.
Lily lotus seed soup, delicious and beautiful.
"Delicious." Aunt Zhao said with a smile.
Lu Xi picked up a piece of spareribs expressionlessly, put it into his mouth gracefully, chewed it expressionlessly, and swallowed it. Then change to another one.
Aunt Zhao did not dare to speak. She tasted the dishes in turn, and had to say that Siyu's craftsmanship was not bad.
This level is obviously not like the first time, but in Aunt Zhao's impression, Si Yu has never been in the kitchen. But now is not the time to struggle with that.
Aunt Zhao ate deliciously, while Lu Xi's expression was numb like a machine.
Aunt Zhao felt like a broken-hearted old mother, she hoped that the couple would be good, but she was not easy to intervene as an outsider.
This is the most tasteless meal Lu Xi has ever eaten in his 28 years of living. She ate more slowly than at any other time and had difficulty swallowing.
My chest was tight in one breath, and it slowly expanded like a balloon, but it couldn't burst. It was just blocked and squeezed.
She didn't hear what Aunt Zhao said. Every time she eats a dish, she has the urge to bring the people who made these dishes back to ask questions.
Why is she so perfunctory?
The day before yesterday, Lu Xi made a birthday request to eat dishes made by Si Yu, and Si Yu happily agreed, for which she felt a subtle touch in her heart.
She has been in a trance for the past two days, and today, she can't even concentrate on work, and she is vaguely expecting something. It was just five o'clock, and she couldn't wait to drive back.
When she saw Si Yu wearing home clothes and cooking for her in the kitchen, Lu Xi's heart that had been calm for a long time was slightly bumped by something, a little messy, but there was another kind of unspoken sense of stability.
She was suddenly looking forward to this birthday.
But all the good things were destroyed by Si Yu's words.
Si Yu did make four dishes and one soup for her according to her request. It's just that Lu Xi never thought that Si Yu was ready, but instead of sitting down to eat with her, he hurriedly went on a date with someone else.
The heart seems to have been pricked by something.
It's been too long.
At the age of ten, Lu Xi was taken back to the Lu family.
It was her first birthday at the Lu family, and her grandmother asked her what she wished for. The little girl looked at her majestic biological father and said, "I want to go to the playground."
The next day she finally got her wish, but the person who took her was not Lu Zhennan, but Lu Zhennan's secretary.
Since then, Lu Xi has never asked anyone, and she no longer has expectations for anyone or anything. She was brought up to be an indifferent machine who only knew how to work and could not express her emotions.
If you have no expectations, you will not be disappointed. This principle is clearly understood when you are ten years old. Why do you make such a low-level mistake this time?
A coldness spread from the bottom of my heart and quickly spread to my limbs.
Lu Xi returned to his usual cold and desireless expression, put down his chopsticks, and said to Aunt Zhao, who was busy eating vegetables, "I'm done eating, you can take it slow."
Aunt Zhao looked at the hot soup in her bowl and said, "You only took a few bites, why didn't you eat it?"
"I'm not very hungry." Putting those words down, Lu Xi got up and went upstairs.
It's just her birthday, she didn't like it.
Si Yu followed the navigation to pick up Xiao Xia.
Like a frozen little summer monkey, she got into the car, breathed in her hand, and said while shaking, "If you come later, I will go back to the bed."
Si Yubai glanced at her and said with a feigned anger, "I don't know who is acting cute and begging me to ask Xue Shaoduo for a ticket."
Xiao Xia blushed slightly and said with a smile: "I'm just talking casually. For the male god's stage play, this cold is nothing!"
Si Yu motioned for her to fasten her seat belt.
There is still one hour before Xue Shao's stage performance, so it should be in time for the theater.
Thinking of seeing the male **** later, Xiao Xia was so excited that she couldn't sit still, took out her mobile phone and sent a circle of friends. When she switched out, she saw that everyone in the company's internal group was discussing something.
She exclaimed: "They said today is President Lu's birthday! Do you know Xiaoyu?"
Si Yu held the steering wheel and pretended to say casually, "I know, I even cooked her a table of dishes, otherwise I would have gone out early."
Xiao Xia looked at her with an expression of "what are you talking about in your sleep again", and seeing that she didn't care about mentioning Lu Xi at all, she rolled her eyes and said gossip: "People in the group said that President Lu She is twenty-eight years old and has yet to fall in love, so she suspects that she is not married. Some people say that families like Mr. Lu usually arrange commercial marriages. You say, is it possible that Mr. Lu has long been with some wealthy young master or daughter? Married?"
Si Yu's eyelids twitched, he looked at her at the red light, smiled and said, "Congratulations, you guessed it right, you, Mr. Lu, have actually married me secretly."
"Fuck!" Xiao Xia's eyes widened, "Really?!"
"Really."
Seeing what she said so convincingly, Xiao Xia didn't believe it and said, "You lied to me. If you got married with Lu, why would you say you want to chase her? And Mr. Lu You are so cold to you, how could you be...cough, I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I didn't mean to stab you."
Look, even if she admits it, no one believes that she and Lu Xi are wife and wife.
Si Yu smiled a little desolately and said, "It's okay, what you said is the truth."
Xiao Xia consciously made a blunder, afraid that she would be sad, so she quickly changed the topic: "Have you solved the matter of Zhang Xiaotao?"
Si Yu's expression restrained, and said, "I transferred a sum of money to her, enough for her mother's surgery."
"That's 500,000!" Xiao Xia was speechless, "You just gave it to her for nothing?"
Si Yu pondered: "500,000 is regarded as a seal fee, not a loss."
During the day, Zhang Xiaotao called her and said that their family would not be able to pay so much money in a while.
Si Yu immediately replied to her: "You don't need to pay this money back."
Zhang Xiaotao was speechless for a long time in shock and asked, "Why?"
"I only have one condition." Si Yu said: "If someone finds you in the future and asks about the incident, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible."
At the banquet, Lin Shuang mentioned that the original female partner forced Zhang Xiaotao to drop out of school. After Si Yu returned, he immediately asked Xiao B about the situation. Finding that the matter was a bit complicated, she dug out the contact information of a private investigator that she had taken from Zhu Qi a long time ago, namely Brother Hao, and asked Brother Hao to help find someone.
Brother Hao has a wide network of contacts and helped her find Zhang Xiaotao in five days, and Si Yu rushed over without stopping.
Xiao Xia was still in pain for the 500,000 flesh, looked at Si Yu with envy, and said, "It's good to be the daughter of a rich family."
Si Yu can't laugh or cry.
The 500,000 yuan was taken from the original female supporting card, Si Yu's own wallet is empty, and now she is eager to join the group to film.
Around seven o'clock, they arrived at the theater.
Today is Xue Shao's first stage show. As his only junior sister, Si Yu naturally wants to join. It's not just for cheering, Si Yu was very interested in stage plays before he read the book, but unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to act.
They take internal tickets and the location is easy to find. After sitting down, Si Yu found a person sitting on the left with a very familiar back. She asked uncertainly, "Sister Yan?"
The man turned around, and it was Lin Yiyan.
Lin Yiyan said happily, "What a coincidence."
Si Yu didn't expect such a coincidence, and said, "Xue Shao, who plays the male lead, is my brother. I'll come to see him."
Lin Yiyan teased: "So you came to join us. The director of this drama is my teacher."
The two smiled at each other.
"This is my assistant Xiao Xia." After Si Yu introduced Xiao Xia to her, she seemed to be alone and said, "Are you here by yourself?"
"No, there is another friend, she went to the bathroom."
Lin Yiyan just finished speaking when someone came over. The man said in a sweet voice, "Yiyan, who are you talking to?"
This voice…
Si Yu looked past Lin Yiyan and looked at the man, and frowned when he saw Liang Yufei's pretending to be innocent smile.
Lin Yiyan's friend is Liang Yufei?
In such a short time, the two became friends?
Liang Yufei approached and saw that it was Siyu, her smile suddenly became a little distorted, and she said, "It's you."
Si Yu twitched the corners of his mouth.
Little Green Tea really has the ability, so she hooked up with Lin Yiyan in such a short time.
The performance officially started at 7:30, the stage darkened, and the audience remained silent with quality.
After the two-hour performance, Si Yu went to the backstage with the flowers he had prepared, and said to Xue Shao, "Brother, you are great! You acted so well!"
On the other side, Lin Yiyan and her teacher had a good chat.
Tonight's performance was very successful, and the audience responded enthusiastically. Teacher Lin Yiyan, the director, said that he would like to invite everyone to a meal.
Si Yu took advantage of Xue Shao's relationship with the past.
It was six o'clock when she went out, and it was midnight when she got home.
Pushing the door and entering, seeing Aunt Zhao sitting in the living room watching TV, Si Yu was surprised: "Auntie so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
The sound of the TV was almost inaudible. Aunt Zhao walked over and said, "I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
Aunt Zhao was lying beside her ear mysteriously, pointed to a room on the second floor, and said, "After you left, Miss Lu only drank a mouthful of soup. Don't eat. I can see her face is dark."
Si Yu was speechless for a moment, then said, "Does she dislike my cooking?"
Aunt Zhao, with an anxious expression of "how come you still don't understand", stomped her feet and said, "Today is Miss Lu's birthday, you made her dinner and went on a date with others, she is sure Angry!"
Speak: "…"
Cooking was brought up by Lu Xi himself, and she didn't say that she would stay and eat with her. She complied with the other party's request, what else is Lu Xi dissatisfied with?
And she was not on a date, just went to a stage play.
Even if she is dating someone else, what does it have to do with Lu Xi?
Didn't someone remind and warn her many times before that they are just an agreement and do not interfere with each other?
Si Yu felt that Aunt Zhao thought too much.
Aunt Zhao saw that she was indifferent, pushed her, and said, "She is still in the study, she should not sleep, you go to coax her."
Speak: "…"
Why let her coax Lu Xi one or two?
"I see, auntie, go to sleep."
Aunt Zhao was sent away, and Si Yu went upstairs depressed.
When she passed the study, she lowered her head subconsciously, saw a little light coming from the crack of the door, imagined someone busy working inside, pouted and whispered: "Why should I coax you ?"
She raised her head and walked towards her room, stopped halfway, turned around, and looked at the closed door resentfully.
"Knock Knock Knock-"
Lu Xi didn't know how long she was staring at the computer.
On the screen is the annual summary report sent by Chen Yan, densely packed, she has a headache, and when she hears a knock on the door, she thought it was Aunt Zhao again, pressed her eyebrows, and said loudly: "Auntie, I don't I'm hungry, go to sleep."
"...It's me." The person at the door hesitated.
"Are you busy? I want to say a few words to you." The man at the door said again.
Not auditory hallucinations.
Lu Xi stared at the door with burning eyes, without any movement.
But why? She was puzzled.
Just when she was discouraged and wanted to go back to the room, the door in front of her was suddenly opened.
“…”
“…”
The voice was also cold: "What?"
Si Yu suddenly felt that Lu Xi who looked like this was very unfamiliar, as if she had returned to the indifference and ignorance of Lu Xi towards her when she first passed through.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
Si Yu was a little flustered, his eyes wandered, he bit his lower lip, lifted his breath, and said, "I didn't mean to let you dove today. Xue Shao, the one who saved Lu Wei in the clubhouse Man, he is my senior brother. He made his first stage show today and invited me to watch it. We have made an appointment a long time ago, and it will officially start at 7:30. The time is very busy, and I can't accompany you to dinner. "
She thought about it, thinking that it might be because she didn't explain it well at the time, which caused Lu Xi to misunderstand, so she was so angry.
Although she didn't know what Lu Xi had misunderstood.
In any case, it will be clear.
Lu Xi stared at her with cold eyes, thin lips parted slightly, and said lightly, word by word: "Who did you date and what to do, that's your freedom, and I have nothing at all There's no need to explain it to me."
“…”
"I have tried all the dishes you make, thank you."
“…”
"Anything else to say?"
Si Yu shook his head mechanically and watched the door close again.
She didn't see that Lu Xi was angry, she only saw coldness and ruthlessness.
She hit her head against the wall and woke up with a thud.
Lu Xi didn't care at all, why did she rush to explain?
Why can't she get rid of her self-love?
In the quiet study room, the computer entered the standby state because it was not touched for a long time.
“Ding Dong—”
Chen Yan sent her a WeChat message in response to her previous question. Lu Xi opened it numbly, finished reading, and closed the window.
When I want to exit, my finger touches somewhere, the screen turns, and I enter the circle of friends.
The first message was just posted by Si Yu an hour ago: "I met a lot of new friends tonight, I'm happy~[Picture][Picture]"
The second picture is a group photo of two people, the left is Si Yu, the right is…
Lin Yiyan.
The two were very close, smiling brightly and looking very intimate.
Lu Xi threw the phone aside impatiently.
The sleek phone slid along the table and fell to the ground, hidden in the thick blanket. She didn't care.
There are many meetings to be held at the end of the year.
All executives present at the meeting today can feel that President Lu is in a very unhappy mood. Everyone who reports to the stage is more or less picked up by President Lu. Mr. Lu's questions became more and more tricky, and his words became more and more sharp, which made everyone panic.
"I don't know what to say, you won't be there for the next meeting."
"Why does this report have only good sides and no shortcomings? Your department has the lowest overall assessment scores in recent months. Do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool, or I can't remember when I'm Alzheimer's? "
"I don't want to listen to your explanation, I just look at the results. If this problem is not resolved within a week, you can pack up and leave."
The annual report lasted for four hours, several managers who were pointed out the problem shivered, and others were silent.
Chen Yan has followed this boss since Lu Xi was a department manager. Over the years, she has accompanied Lu Xi to hundreds of thousands of meetings. This is the first time she has seen Lu Xi so strong, even Somewhat aggressive.
Chen Yan didn't dare to ask the reason. After the meeting, she looked at the time and said, "Mr. Lu, it's almost time for lunch. I'll have someone bring it to you."
Lu Xi turned over the annual reports submitted by various departments with a gloomy face, and said, "No, I don't want to eat. If there are any other documents that need to be signed, bring them to me together."
So the whole noon, everyone rested, only Lu Xi was like a tireless robot, sitting in the executive chair and never getting up, he has been burying his head in reading documents, signing, reading emails, and replying to emails .
Chen Yan looked at her desperately and said with some distress: "Mr. Lu, I need you to attend the seminar on "The Lost Castle" this afternoon, so you should take a rest."
Lu Xi waved his hand and said without raising his head, "Make me a cup of coffee, thank you."
Chen Yan's persuasion was useless, so she had to help her make coffee.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the seminar of the movie "The Lost Castle" was held in a large conference room of Light and Shadow, and all the main creators arrived.
Lu Xi was the last to arrive.
Stepping into the conference room, they saw Si Yu and Lin Yiyan chatting quietly with their heads next to each other, talking about something happy, and the two laughed softly.
"President Lu is here." Director Han Yan stood up, "President Lu, sit here."
Si Yu, who was whispering to Lin Yiyan, stopped.
Lin Yiyan looked towards the door, and by chance, met Lu Xi's eyes. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that Mr. Lu's eyes are not very friendly when he looks at her.
