Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 192 Is this the real reason why you broke up with me?

He wanted to prevent Wang Yunchao from getting suspicious and to make it easier to investigate the previous events. Lu Xingchen understood and agreed, "Okay."

Li Zhen continued, "It's better to do things early than late. Hand over the work on hand as soon as possible, and then start your work. As for the venue, if you don't mind, I can vacate an office area for you in Zhencheng."

"No need to bother..."

"The rent will be collected as usual, but we will shorten the time for you."

He had accepted such a big favor, so he didn't care about such a small amount. Lu Xingchen continued to refute, but the words on his lips turned into: "Thank you."

"If you really want to thank me, just call me brother."

"..." Hasn't this matter been resolved yet? Seeing that he was indeed persistent, Lu Xingchen compromised and called out, "Senior Brother."

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows when he was called, but his unhappy expression eased a lot at once.

Lu Xingchen, who was only planning to appease him, couldn't help but say, "Aren't your requirements too low?"

Li Zhen admitted without hesitation: "You refused to agree to any request I made, so I just made random requests. You can make money by whatever you agree to."

What kind of overbearing and humble logic is this? Lu Xingchen was inexplicably tickled.

Li Zhen raised his eyes and saw her smiling face. He stared at her for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "I will die in your hands sooner or later. I'm leaving."

Lu Xingchen looked up at him: "Where are you going?"

Li Zhen: "Have lunch."

After saying that, he looked at her with an expression that said, "I'll see if you dare to reject me today." Lu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, picked up the things on the table and stood up, "Let's go."

Chu Zeyan ended the call with Lu Xingchen, looked at Shao Ping in front of him and asked again, "So, the person who took Lu Wenli away was indeed Li Zhen's man?"

Shao Ping: “Yes.”

"It seems that he has also helped Lu Xingchen clean up Lu Wenli's mess." Chu Zeyan slowly put the phone on the table. "He saved Lu Xingchen's mother and dealt with Lu Xingchen's father. He is one step faster than me in everything. This makes people feel uncomfortable for some reason."

Shao Ping just listened without saying anything.

Chu Zeyan stood up and walked to the French window, looking at the scenery outside for a while. "Lu Wenli has nothing, but someone lent him so much money. There must be something fishy. Let's find out the whole story."

Shao Ping: “Yes.”

Chu Zeyan: "Hasn't Lu Xingchen's identity information been checked yet?"

Shao Ping: "Her identity information from seven or eight years ago seems to have been erased. It will take some time to find out more details."

Chu Zeyan was even more surprised: "What kind of identity would be deliberately erased?"

Shao Ping: "I'll have someone find out as soon as possible."

Chu Zeyan was full of curiosity, but at this moment he could only wave to Shao Ping to signal him to leave.

Lu Xingchen and Li Zhen had lunch together, and Li Zhen took her home. He drove and she sat in the passenger seat. They didn't talk much, but after the car drove out for 20 minutes, she asked curiously, "Aren't you going to take me home?"

"It's to send you back."

"This is not the direction back to the hotel."

"Your mother no longer lives in the hotel."

Lu Xingchen thought about it and frowned slightly, "Boss Li..."

"Wait a while." Li Zhen looked straight ahead at the road conditions and said, "Wait until Lu Wenli is stable and you are stable too. You can take her to live anywhere you want. It's better for her to live in a relatively safe place recently."

Li Zhen didn't tell her about Xu Fanghua jumping into the river, but since he took the responsibility, he had to ensure Xu Fanghua's safety.

But Lu Xingchen didn't say anything. He turned his head and glanced at her.

"How about that? Do you want to see her get captured again, and then challenge the gangsters alone? Or do you think that the house you found through the agent will be safer than the place I provide? When it comes to face, favors, and personal safety, you know what to choose."

Yes, it was precisely because she knew that that she could not deny it, but once she accepted his favor, she would have to explain clearly to him the matter between her and the Lu family.

But he heard everything about this matter, including what he should know and what he shouldn't know, so it didn't matter if she confessed to him. As for what he should choose, he could decide later.

After thinking about it, Lu Xingchen suddenly felt that she was really selfish, because she could guess that even if he knew the truth, he would still help her. But what she was thinking was that since she had confessed to him, if he was willing to accept it, it was his own choice.

Seeing that she was still having trouble making a decision, Li Zhen felt distressed for some reason and asked frankly, "Are you worried that the Lu family will cause trouble for me because of you?"

Lu Xingchen's eyes were sore from the question. He turned his head and looked out the window. After a while, he said, "I can't just harm you. You have your own family and career."

Li Zhen couldn't tell whether he was happy or helpless, so he asked back, "So we need to arrest another Chu Zeyan?"

She was clearly moved but didn't dare to move. He made her neither angry nor amused. She looked at him and said, "Why are you so unreasonable?"

Li Zhen knew that he had gone too far, but he still replied: "You still know that I am right."

Lu Xingchen suddenly felt guilty, but also inexplicably angry. Didn’t he hear that she was trying to find a way out of the topic?

"So you can force me into bed?"

Unexpectedly, she suddenly brought this up. Li Zhen, who had been confident and self-righteous, looked at her in astonishment, and his tough attitude faded. He turned his head and looked forward again, then belatedly apologized again: "I'm sorry."

Lu Xingchen was no longer angry in her heart, and she didn't have time to be angry with him. She only brought up this matter unreasonably because she had always been in a weak position and owed favors to others.

She turned her head and looked out the window without saying a word.

The car was quiet for a long time.

Li Zhen glanced at him for a few times and was about to speak: "Lu..."

"I am not Lu Dingsheng's daughter."

Lu Xingchen took over the conversation.

"My mother didn't know about this until I was six years old, but she chose to hide it from everyone. It wasn't until my senior year that Lu Dingsheng and other members of the Lu family gradually found out about it. Lu Dingsheng wanted to keep me in the Lu family, and in order to drive us away, the old lady used me to threaten my mother to marry Lu Wenli and demanded that she not divorce."

Li Zhen looked at her.

Lu Xingchen continued, "If it's true as my mother said, what we experienced a few years ago was instigated by the Lu family. Now that she and Lu Wenli are divorced, she may face more retaliation. If you help us, you may also be implicated."

After she finished speaking, Li Zhen suddenly turned the steering wheel and stopped the car on the side of the road, then turned around and looked at her intently.

Lu Xingchen didn't think he was scared because of what she said, but the way he looked at her still made her feel inexplicably uneasy, so she said in a panic: "If you are scared, it's not too late to break up with me now."

Li Zhen just whispered, "When you were a senior? So, this is the real reason why you broke up with me?"
