C59

In the dining room, Dudian sat on the small stool in a daze. The waitress who came in and out to deliver the plates looked at her and left quickly without saying anything.

Du Qing's thoughts continued to blur, and his vision unconsciously became a bit dimmer. Ye Zichen held his phone tightly. The picture on the screen had long since lost its light.

"Lu Juyan, did you approach me to get close to the people beside me?"

A bitter feeling rose in her heart, but she subconsciously chose to escape. Her wariness towards Lu Juyan made her want to run away from him, and at the same time, she didn't want Lu Juyan to come into contact with the people around her.

The more she thought about it, the more Du Ruqing woke up from her stupor. She slightly frowned. The uneasiness in her heart made her more and more convinced. Subconsciously, he opened the screen and picked the location of the contact person to see Lu Juyan's phone number.

Suddenly, Du had a feeling of confusion. She had no choice but to call him or send him a text message. Lu Juyan's kindness towards her rippled through her mind, actually causing her to lose control of her thoughts once again.

One cannot beg others, one does not desire them.

Father Du's advice once again surged into Du Lianqing's mind, causing her to subconsciously send a text message to someone else. Her hands trembled slightly, but it gave her a direction.

Looking at the blank page on his phone, Du Liqing still didn't know what to write. His thoughts became hazy again.

"Lu Juyan, hold on!" A trace of guilt flashed in Qu Yan's eyes as she looked at Lu Juyan's figure. He quickly followed behind Yuan Wei, but ignored his emotions.

Yuan Wei, who was standing in the same spot, watched as the two of them ran towards a certain direction. His dark eyes showed no signs of anger. Green veins could be seen on his arms, and his hands were clenched into fists. The jealousy in his heart was driving his mind a little crazy.

Watching Qu Yan walk up the stairs step by step, coupled with the unconscious anxiety on her face, made his heart ache, and he felt a suffocating pressure on his breathing.

Ah!" He threw a furious punch at a nearby pillar and bellowed. His brows were furrowed, and his black eyes seemed to be like a deep pool, causing people to shudder.

The surrounding people quickly moved away, afraid that Yuan Wei would be angered and move away.

Qu Yan ran after Lu Juyan and saw him standing on the second floor as if he was looking for something. He pursed his lips, lowered his head, and slowly said: "I'm very sorry, I've caused you so much trouble."

After finishing her sentence, Qu Yan didn't get Lu Juyan's forgiveness. Instead, she turned her head and saw Yuan Wei leaving the room with large strides downstairs. His heart tightened, he apologized to the others once again, then turned around and left.

Her steps were constantly accelerating. In order to prevent herself from falling down, her hand grabbed the banister of the staircase. As he stared at the direction where Yuan Wei had left, his heart was filled with an urgent and uneasy feeling.

Gritting her thin lips, this was the first time she felt a sense of helplessness and unspeakable bitterness. However, in her heart, she was silently hoping that Yuan Wei hadn't gone too far away.

Lu Juyan stood on the spot as he watched Qu Yan's departing figure. His brow was tightly furrowed, and a look of displeasure appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"He really deserves to die!" He slammed his palm against the railing and undid the buttons on his suit jacket to show the discomfort he felt after being wronged.

"Enough!" In the restaurant, the delay in typing caused Du Ruqing's thoughts to become agitated as she scolded herself in a low voice.

He looked at the screen on his phone and typed down the best excuse he could come up with and sent it to Lu Juyan. When she saw that the notification had been sent, she turned off her phone subconsciously.

As for the situation Lu Juyan was in right now, Du Liqing chose to give up on his concerns. He only hoped that the other wouldn't take advantage of her to harm the people around her.

At the teahouse, Lu Juyan was preparing to walk downstairs when his cell phone rang in his pocket. Ye Zichen retracted his hand impatiently and took out his phone.

"Let's cut off contact in the future and thank you very much for your help!" He was stunned for a moment when he saw the text message from Du Liqing on the screen.

Every word stabbed into Lu Juyan's fragile heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He wasn't sure if it was because he was too agitated, or because the content of the text message was too exciting, but it made him want to throw his phone.

His expression gradually became gloomy and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. He stood there without a word, his elbows on the railing, his back to it.

He slightly lowered his eyes as the scene of the message given to him by Dean with his green hair rippled through his mind. No matter how much he was unwilling to believe it, he was still unable to change the contents of the message.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" A waiter walked over and looked at the gloomy Lu Juyan. A strange feeling arose in his heart as he walked forward and asked.

Lu Juyan opened his eyes, and the light became a bit dimmer. It wasn't as dazzling as before. Looking at the waiter in front of him, he shook his head in embarrassment.

As he turned to leave the place, he suddenly realized in his heart that he seemed to have become more and more unlike himself.

Walking out of the teahouse, he got into his car and leaned back against the cushions. His thoughts started to become hazy. Memories kept invading his mind, causing him to sink deep into his memories.

In the Lu family's study, Lu Yusi was sitting on the main seat, solemnly reviewing the company's documents. The dim light shone on his high-spirited face, giving Lu Juyan, who was standing not too far away, a feeling of having gone through many changes.

"In a few days, let's go to a banquet." When Lu Yu asked to write his name on the last document, he put away the heart he wanted to continue working on. He put down the brush in his hand and lifted his head to look at Lu Juyan as he spoke faintly.

He crossed his ten fingers on the table and felt no guilt towards the long wait. It seemed like a natural action.

Lu Juyan's deep eyes stared apathetically at Lu Yuxu, his cold expression making it hard to tell if he was going or not.

"You will choose a woman from among the guests to be engaged." Lu Yujing had no intention of getting Lu Juyan's consent. On the contrary, he was even quite conscientious as to what he was thinking.

He pushed the photo to the side with his fingertip. The photo was pushed to the table and folded slightly like a tarot. The woman's face was clearly visible in the photo.

Lu Yujing knocked on the table with the back of his finger, indicating that he wanted to see if Lu Juyan was happy about it.

Lu Juyan shot a cold glance at Lu Yu's request, but didn't have the slightest intention of going. His gaze landed on the stack of photos, and he happened to see the familiar face of Du Liqing.
