Chapter 378 Internal and external troubles
Chu Zeyan was waiting outside, so he heard the conversation between Lu Xingchen and Li Zhen to some extent. When Lu Xingchen came out and faced him, he said without hesitation: "Although it was not intentional, I did hear it."
Lu Xingchen said casually: "Although I don't mean to scold you, it is indeed quite unkind of you to do this."
As always, she would scold people. Chu Zeyan followed her as she walked out without looking away, "It's so good to be with me. I will definitely not hide anything from you."
Lu Xingchen blurted out, "If I remember correctly, I have already taken the knife for you before I even followed you."
What she was talking about was, of course, the time when Ji Weian tried to assassinate her but she stopped him. "That woman was arranged by Chu Zefeng to be by my side, and besides, there is actually nothing between me and her."
Lu Xingchen didn't care whether he had anything to do with anyone or not, he just tilted his head to look at him and said, "Aren't you explaining it to me now after the fact?"
Then can he say that he is better than Li Zhen?
Chu Zeyan was completely speechless in this regard, "But Li Zhen is indeed not very kind. He actually has an engagement with Miss Feng and didn't explain it clearly to you."
Lu Xingchen said nonchalantly, "You don't have to sow discord. I quarreled with him just because he deserved it. It doesn't stop me from liking him."
That's right, they were arguing over there, and this one came to fight with him on behalf of Li Zhen. Chu Zeyan said unhappily, "Then you don't mind what happened between him and Miss Feng?"
"I don't mind. Why quarrel?" Lu Xingchen answered casually. When Chu Zeyan was about to speak again, Lu Xingchen said directly, "If you still want to drink together, stop talking about these things that spoil the mood."
"I'm just analyzing it for you."
"I don't need it." Lu Xingchen looked at him, "If you don't need someone to drink with you, let's stop here tonight."
"Okay, I won't tell you. Let's go."
After Lu Xingchen and Chu Zeyan finished drinking, it was already past twelve o'clock when they returned to Guangyue Zuncheng. She was still sober because she had a good alcohol tolerance and she couldn't let herself get drunk with Chu Zeyan.
So, as soon as she got out of the car driven by the bodyguard, she clearly saw Li Zhen's car parked downstairs of her building. She was still a little dissatisfied, but when she saw him get out of the car and walk towards her, she stopped and waited for him to come over.
When Li Zhen walked up to her, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol and immediately frowned and asked, "How much did you drink?"
Lu Xingchen: "You are waiting here just to ask this?"
Li Zhen: "What does Chu Zeyan want you to do?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xingchen looked at him, "When did you know about Su Wanyi's accident, and when did you plan to tell me?"
Li Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath, "I just think that you don't need to know."
"OK, since I don't need to know, then how should I answer when you ask Chu Zeyan what he wants me to do?"
"He came to you for this matter?"
"What's the matter?"
Li Zhen's teeth suddenly clenched, "It's about Su Wanyi."
"Did something happen to Su Wanyi?" Lu Xingchen looked at him quietly.
The two of them stared at each other face to face under the street light for a long time. Li Zhen finally gave in, walked towards her and reached out to hug her. Lu Xingchen took a step back and raised her hand to refuse.
Li Zhen had to explain: "I was planning to deal with Su Wanyi's matter with Chu Zeyan first, and then tell you, because I was afraid that you would worry that he would cause trouble for me, and would take the initiative to find him. But it happened that something happened to Mr. Feng, and I didn't have time to tell you. I didn't expect Chu Zeyan to find you. Did he ask you to do anything?"
Lu Xingchen looked at him without answering.
Li Zhen closed his eyes, knowing why she didn't answer, and then continued: "It was not me who took the initiative to ask the Feng family to withdraw their investment. It was Elder Feng who asked for it. It has nothing to do with you. It's just that this matter involves deep internal affairs of the Feng family. As an outsider, I can't say anything."
He didn't say that Lu Xingchen understood, but couldn't help but say: "You even know such deep internal affairs of their family. It seems that they don't treat you as an outsider."
"If you want to know, I can tell you, but we have to find a more appropriate time and place to talk, okay?"
It was as if she was forcing him to say this. Lu Xingchen felt inexplicably annoyed, "I don't necessarily have to know about your relationship with their family..."
After saying this, Lu Xingchen felt even more uncomfortable, "Do you think that I can't do anything except take care of Zhixing Company?"
"No……"
"That's right. I can't use the Lu family now. Apart from a working team that can run Zhixing with me, I don't have any special connections. I might accidentally provoke the Lu family, offend the Feng family, and provoke the Chu family."
"Xingchen, you know I don't think so." Li Zhen held her arms with both hands, looked at her anxiously but sincerely, and said, "I just want you to be safe and let you concentrate on what you want to do. Besides, these things have nothing to do with you."
Lu Xingchen knew very well that he wanted to protect her, but it just made her seem somewhat useless. But after thinking about it, she was indeed not of much use. Just looking at the Feng family's affairs, if Li Zhen really turned against the Feng family and the Feng family wanted to deal with Li Zhen, what could she do for him?
Even if Lu Dingsheng was willing to help her, would the rest of the Lu family be willing to offend the Feng family because of her? And what position and ability did she have to pull the Lu family to support Li Zhen?
But if he was worried about her, he should know that she would also be worried about him, and he should know that she was not the kind of person who could always hide behind him and be protected.
But she still had to tell him all these, and she felt very tired: "Chu Zeyan didn't ask me for anything, and he didn't ask me to do anything."
She suddenly calmed down, and Li Zhen naturally felt the emotions she had deliberately suppressed. In fact, Li Zhen had not been at ease recently, and could even be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, because in addition to Zhencheng's affairs, there were also Feng family matters. In addition to these, he and Lu Xingchen did not get along very well.
"Xingchen, even if Chu Zeyan wants to vent his anger on me because of Su Wanyi, I have ways to deal with it. Even if I really offend the Feng family, they won't dare to touch me easily based on my understanding of their family's inside story, so don't worry too much, I'll be fine."
It turned out that he knew she would be worried. Lu Xingchen looked at him for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After saying this, the conversation between the two was interrupted, and no one continued to talk. Li Zhen noticed this break and said, "It's so late, why don't you go to my place to rest."
"No, I told my mom and I'll be home soon." If she wanted to go to his place, Xu Fanghua would not be a reason to refuse him. Bringing Xu Fanghua up now was obviously a rejection of him.
"Stars."
"I'm a little tired today, so let's leave it at that for now."
"..." Li Zhen looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning to go to work together."
"I have to go out to do some work tomorrow, so I won't go directly to the company." Lu Xingchen said, and then he pushed his hand off his arm. "Let's talk about it after you've dealt with the Feng family's affairs. I think that's what you're planning to do, right?"
