030

This is the first time that Lu Mengxin came to Anyuan's house alone.

Unlike the last time when he passed by in a hurry, this time, he was more patient and took a closer look at the house.

Duplex two-story villa, more than 100 square meters, bedroom, study, cloakroom, collection room are all available.

Lu Mengxin carefully stood on the balcony watering the water with a kettle in his hand. The night was dark, and he didn't turn on the lights. He moved slowly in the darkness by relying on the street lights faintly projected from the window.

Lu Mengxin knew that his behavior today was too abnormal, even if An Yuan and Yan Jiashan were a little confused, what did it have to do with him?

After all, I still feel unsatisfied.

Lu Mengxin only felt that he was living in the dark like years, how much courage he took to come here, wanted to try his luck, and confirmed the doubts in his heart, I am afraid that only he knew.

There was no light in the room, Lu Mengxin was sitting on the carpet on one side of the sofa, the thick wool was tightly held in the palm of his hand, opening and closing, repeatedly.

Several times he wanted to open the door and go out to stop his absurd behavior, but the doubt and unwillingness deep in his heart still conquered his cowardice.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and the wall clock on the wall pointed to zero o'clock.

Lu Mengxin was extremely discouraged, could it be that he guessed wrong after all?

Just as he was about to get up by leaning on a corner of the sofa, he heard the sound of the door lock turning in the darkness.

He immediately opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth with his hands, and tried his best to hide in the dark place of the sofa with his waist down, not even daring to breathe, wishing to suppress his beating heart.

He lowered his head and listened attentively. First, there was the sound of the door lock turning, followed by the sound of two people talking, and the door was opened; followed by the movement of taking off his shoes, Lu Mengxin heard An Yuan's voice, low and depressing, like Is holding back something.

The two took off their shoes, didn't even turn on the lights, and stumbled straight to the bedroom on the second floor.

Lu Mengxin sat up straight, only feeling a chill on her sweaty back.

For a moment just now, it seemed as if someone had grabbed his neck with both hands, and the suffocation was so real...

The two people upstairs had already entered the room, and once the door was closed, no movement could be heard inside.

The night was as thick as a smog that could not be dispelled. Lu Mengxin stood in front of the door and gently turned the doorknob. With a sound of "click--", the door opened immediately. He didn't dare to look back for a moment, and left Anyuan's house as if fleeing. Home.

As the New Year approaches, Jiangcheng has entered its first major cooling down this year.

The snow has been falling heavily for two days, and there is no intention of stopping at all.

Chen Fei was riding a bicycle, wearing a thick down jacket, and his thin figure shuttled through the cold winter snowy night.

Riding to the door of Lu Mengxin's house, Fade Chen walked into the basement familiarly, stood in front of his room door and knocked heavily on the door.

"Brother Meng! Are you in? Come out!" Fade Chen yelled, as if he didn't mind other people hearing, "You haven't come to work for two days, Boss Chen asked me to come over and pass a message to you ...Brother Meng, open the door quickly!"

The room was quiet, there was no sound at all.

Before Fade Chen came, he took out the prepared backup key and opened the door.

The cold and damp basement was dark, and the already lifeless room was even more decadent due to the wind and snow outside the window.

Fade Chen couldn't help coughing heavily the first time he entered the door, "Damn it... what the hell do you smell like?" He opened the window to let in air while talking, and opened it Take a closer look at the lights in the room, "Brother Meng!"

The room was in a mess, all the luggage and items that had been packed before coming here were turned over, clothes were scattered all over the floor, empty bottles and cans were piled up at the foot of the bed, and the ashtray by the bed Throwing a pile of cigarette butts - if it wasn't for the owner of the room who was lying on the bed with his head covered and sleeping soundly, Fade Chen would really have wondered if the house had just been robbed.

"Brother Meng." Standing by the bed, Fade Chen called softly, "Wake up, I know you're not asleep."

The person in the quilt was motionless, as if he hadn't heard the movement outside.

Fade Chen was ruthless, quickly lifted the quilt, and said angrily: "Lu Mengxin! What's wrong with you!"

The person on the bed closed his eyes, breathing steadily, and was not affected by him.

He has never been so decadent. In Fade Chen's impression, Lu Mengxin has always been an optimistic and decisive person.

Right now, he was still indifferent, Fade Chen thought of a way, took the bucket in the room, went out and turned right, came to the public bathroom, picked up a bucket of cold water and brought it back.

"flutter--"

Continuous cold water was poured on Lu Mengxin's face, he finally couldn't hold his breath, pushed Fade Chen away and struggled to get up.

"What are you doing—" Lu Mengxin opened his eyes, glaring, his eyes were red, and he almost roared.

Fade Chen put down the bucket and looked at him squarely, "What am I doing? I want to ask you, what do you want to do!" As he spoke, his face turned red and his breathing was difficult, "What's going on! What happened! I haven't been to work for two days, do you know that Boss Chen has issued an ultimatum, if you—"

"So what?" Lu Mengxin interrupted him, and replied lightly, "Without me, wouldn't there be you?"

"What are you talking about!" Seeing that he was shivering from the cold, Fade Chen stepped forward to cover him with a quilt, wrapping his body tightly, "Brother Meng! Boss! Lu Mengxin, what are you doing?" Excited, tell me anyway, let me help you solve it, what's going on hiding here!"

Lu Mengxin pulled the quilt to wipe her wet face, and chuckled, "What can I do? I just don't want to be a paparazzi anymore."

Fade Chen paused, "Okay, okay, what a big deal I am. If I am not a paparazzi, I have other places to go... Tell me, what do you want to do, anyway, I am your little follower, and I will follow you no matter what you do."

After hearing this, Lu Mengxin raised her eyes to look at him, her face was purple with cold, she bit her lip and repeated his words tremblingly, "Follow me? Are you still going to follow me?"

Chen Fei followed his words and said: "Yeah, who else can I follow if I don't follow you! So, brother Meng... No matter what happens, you have to cheer up quickly, and I still rely on you Get rich and get rich overnight!"

Lu Mengxin was so teased by him that he couldn't help laughing, and he raised the corner of his lips to reveal a disastrous smile, "Okay, okay...you are really good. Thank you...Xiao Fei..."

Fade Chen was too lazy to be polite to him, "Don't say thank you, you should get up and wipe yourself, if you continue like this, you will catch a cold."

After the two asked each other about their concerns, Fade Chen remembered the purpose of this trip, and said to Lu Mengxin falteringly, "Boss Chen had already spoken before coming, saying, saying that you were absent from work for no reason...he said, he said..."

"He can't tolerate me, it's not a matter of a day or two." Lu Mengxin pierced Chen Mingjie's mind with one sentence, and the next second, he said: "It's just that he wants to drive me away. It's too small to make such an excuse. me."

"Eh?" Fade Chen's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward meanly, "Brother Meng, have you thought of a good way to deal with him?"

Lu Mengxin shook his head, "No."

"Then what are you talking about?" Fade Chen said disappointedly, "If you leave, I won't stay in Shenghui alone. This place is really nice, but we don't have the fate...to be a paparazzi, where is it not to be a paparazzi?" Woolen cloth?"

Lu Mengxin carefully analyzed what he said, and looked up at him with a trace of sophistication in his eyes.

Fade Chen felt hairy all over his body when he saw him, and he smiled without embarrassment, and asked him, "Brother Meng, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Mengxin retracted his gaze and explained: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of a possibility." He thought for a moment, and then asked, "If you don't want to be a paparazzi, what do you want to be?"

Fade Chen scratched his head, but he didn't seem to understand what he meant.

"If you're not a paparazzi, what else can you be?" Lu Mengxin repeated, paused, and said solemnly: "I want to stay, stay in Shenghui."

Chen Fei opened his eyes wide and looked at him with an incredulous expression on his face, "That's right, Brother Meng, are you confused?" While speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, "It's not right...you don't have a fever, why? Have you started talking nonsense?"

Lu Mengxin took his hand off with a smile, and said: "Don't worry, Chen Mingjie can't drive me away, and he can't drive you away... Not only that, we will only live better than before, trust me."

In the new week, Lu Mengxin returned to Shenghui to work.

Regarding his disappearance for several days without a trace, Chen Mingjie naturally had a stomach full of anger waiting for him to come back.

Therefore, before stepping into the office door, Lu Mengxin was stopped at the exit of the elevator.

Chen Mingjie came here to guard him, and when he learned that Lu Mengxin was going to come back, he thought of a way to take this opportunity to vent his anger!

The two ran into each other face to face as if they met in a narrow road outside the elevator entrance. Lu Mengxin did not hide or evade, and faced Chen Mingjie's angry face very calmly.

Compared with his indifference, Chen Mingjie looked much inferior.

"Lu! Meng! Xin!" Before the person approached, he said loudly: "You are really good, you have been absent from work for so many days, but you still know how to come back to work!"

Lu Mengxin met his oily face, the anger on his face looked ridiculous, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Mingjie laughed to himself that this kid finally had a better memory, knowing that it was time to follow the law.

It's better to know than not to know, he sneered secretly, thinking that if you, Lu Mengxin, don't die in my hands today, don't even think about stepping into Sheng Hui's door.

Every move of the two attracted the attention of colleagues around them. This is what Chen Mingjie wanted. Right now, he said: "I have long heard that Lu Mengxin is the number one paparazzi in the entertainment industry. After running for so many years, the gossip has made him behave in a different way." Sneaking around!" He said contemptuously, "If I hadn't stopped you here, would you have wanted to go up? Absence from work for no reason, and any leave of absence to explain the reason afterwards will be regarded as resignation!"

Lu Mengxin's face was calm, and he was not moved by his sarcasm, but said softly: "Mr. Chen, you have misunderstood me."

Chen Mingjie shouted: "You mean that I wronged you?" He looked Lu Mengxin up and down. Today he came to work in a formal suit, and he thought to himself: It's a pity...it's time to receive a letter of dismissal later.

The two stood at the door of the elevator, like two giant Buddhas, no one would give in, and neither would give up.

Colleagues who came and went cast curious glances, and Lu Mengxin heard someone talking softly, and what they were talking about was nothing more than his origin and Chen Mingjie's intentions.

It turned out that everyone already knew that he was "being" resigned, but he himself didn't know it yet.

Lu Mengxin calmed down, and said to Chen Mingjie: "Mr. Chen, are you really going to stop me? It won't be good for everyone if you continue like this...I advise you..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mingjie glared at him, grinned his teeth and said: "You son of a bitch... dare to pretend to be a master in front of me, I will let you know who is the master!" Those who drive away, out of sight is pure.

"Stop!" At the same time, a calm and powerful male voice suddenly came out from the crowd, stopping Chen Mingjie's actions.
