Compete with your nemesis to be a prodigal

Lu Bingwen glanced at her, but didn't speak.

Duan Luo smiled and leaned forward, and after getting closer to him, lowered his voice: "I haven't seen you in seven years, are you sure the current Duan Zhuoheng is still the person you knew before?"

Lu Bingwen still didn't speak.

"Actually, when the family sent him abroad, my father hesitated and struggled for a long time, but do you know what made him finally make up his mind?"

"Miss Duan just speaks straight, don't have to beat around the bush." ​​Lu Bingwen clenched his hands into fists, and still pretended to be indifferent.

Duan Luo raised the corner of her mouth: "It was Duan Zhuoheng who found his father himself and asked to go abroad. On the day before he left, he specially told the servants in the family to keep it secret from you."

The knuckles of Lu Bingwen's clenched hands had begun to turn white, but Duan Luo didn't seem to notice the difference at all, or he noticed it and deliberately added embellishments: "Bingwen, we have grown up together since we were young. In the past, you and him I saw all those things, and in all fairness, he was good to you at that time, but what about later? When you were backed by the Lu family, he was so determined to go, let alone now?"

Lu Bingwen had to admit that Duan Luo was able to climb to the same position as Duan Zhuohao when Duan Yuming was not optimistic.

"It seems that Ms. Duan doesn't want to gamble, but to fight for it."

"It's a fight, it's a gamble," Duan Luo looked straight into his eyes, and said bluntly, "I know you still have fantasies about him, but as someone who has experienced it, my sister would like to advise you, don't trust men's sweet words too much, just hold him The interests in hand will not betray you."

"If you agree to cooperate with me, I'm also willing to help the Lu family make a comeback."

The condition of letting the Lu family make a comeback sounded very attractive to Lu Bingwen, but he was not stupid, and asked Duan Luo: "Instead of waiting for you to help me, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to go directly to Duan Zhuoheng?"

Duan Luo laughed lightly, not intending to be stopped by him at all, and said leisurely: "Do you think he will help you?"

"Won't he?"

"Of course not," Duan Luo said decisively, putting away his smile, "Did you meet Duan Zhuoheng's mother?"

Lu Bingwen nodded slightly, not knowing what she meant by suddenly mentioning this.

"The things you heard probably happened after Duan Zhuoheng was born. You probably don't know that she and my father used to be classmates in high school?"

Lu Bingwen didn't speak, he really didn't know, Duan Zhuoheng has always been very concerned about his status as an illegitimate child, and he also loves and hates his mother, so he rarely mentions it to him.

Judging from his reaction, Duan Luo knew that Duan Zhuoheng had never told him about this, so he told him.

"My father came from a poor background. When I was young, my family was very poor. My aunt married before she was an adult. The gift money in exchange was used for him to go to high school. He met Duan Zhuoheng's mother at that time. In the county town, there are very few families who are willing to support their daughters to study, and most of them are rich people. Duan Zhuoheng's mother is the most eye-catching one among the few girls. Her father opened a furniture factory in the county town at that time. The second generation of the rich."

Duan Luo stopped here for a while, glanced at Lu Bingwen's expression before continuing: "I believe you have heard a lot of stories about my father starting a business from nothing in college, but it seems that no one has ever said that he was born in such a family. You have to sell your daughter's family to go to high school, how did he go to college, right?"

Lu Bingwen's expression changed slightly, and his mouth moved a few times, but in the end he still didn't make a sound.

Duan Luo smiled: "It seems that you should have guessed it, it was Duan Zhuoheng's mother who paid for him to go to college, and what happened later is not a secret. He met my mother in college, made a generous courtship, and after a flash marriage With the investment from my grandfather, I have transformed into a young talent and entrepreneur."

Lu Bingwen frowned when he heard this. He always knew that Duan Yuming was not a human being, but he never thought that he could be so inhuman.

After criticizing Duan Yuming severely in his heart, Lu Bingwen suddenly thought that this story didn't seem to end here, because in the story Duan Yuming met Duan Zhuoheng's mother before, but the reality is that Duan Zhuohao and Duan Luobi Duan Zhuoheng is several years older.

Could it be that after that, Duan Zhuoheng's mother went to find Duan Yuming again, or became a mistress?

Lu Bingwen thought so, and asked the same question.

Duan Luo shook her head: "No, although I hate that woman as much as my mother, she did give up when she first heard about my parents' marriage."

"Then why later..."

"That was several years later. At that time, the scale of Qirun was getting bigger and bigger. As an outstanding alumnus, my father was invited back to high school to give a speech. That year happened to catch up with the market downturn. Grandpa Duan Zhuoheng's furniture factory saw For the sake of her father, that woman found Duan Yuming and begged him to help the furniture factory tide over the difficulties for the sake of his family's help... Do you know what my father did?"

Lu Bingwen shook his head, guessing: "Did he refuse?"

"That's not true," Duan Luo sneered, "He used this as a threat to let the other party be his mistress, because my mother was pregnant with me at the time and couldn't have a married life with him."

Lu Bingwen: "..."

"Miss Duan told me this, isn't it afraid that I will sympathize with Duan Zhuoheng more and be more devoted to him?"

"Wrong, I'm not telling you this to let you know how miserable Duan Zhuoheng and his mother are, but to let you know how ruthless Duan Yuming is. In order to let Duan Zhuoheng's mother fully control him, he not only failed to help Duan Zhuoheng as agreed. Their family's furniture factory came back to life, and even encouraged creditors to enter the factory, forcing Duan Zhuoheng's grandfather to choose to file for bankruptcy."

"How could this be?" Lu Bingwen frowned.

"Whether you want to believe it or not, Duan Zhuoheng and my father are the same kind of people. In order to get what they want, they will not hesitate to destroy everything around you," Duan Luo said in a deep voice, "so, he will not help you anyway. You revive the Lu family."

……

After Duan Luo left, Lu Bingwen sat alone on the sofa for a long time before thinking of looking for Duan Zhuoheng who was still locked in the study.

"Why, what did she come to talk to you about? Why did your complexion become so bad?"

As soon as Lu Bingwen opened the door, Duan Zhuoheng noticed something was wrong with him, and wanted to reach out to touch his cheek, but Lu Bingwen dodged it.

"No, it's nothing. I just came to test whether the two of us are still in touch. I have already sent them away."

"Oh," Duan Zhuoheng pretended that he had just acted in front of Duan Luo, a little overly nervous, and took his hands back with a smile, "Then let's continue to eat, and I'll heat up the food."

"it is good."

Lu Bingwen looked at Duan Zhuoheng's back, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't hold back and called out to him: "Zhuoheng, wait."

"Well, what's the matter?" Duan Zhuoheng turned around with a smile.

"Did you really hear nothing just now?"

Duan Zhuoheng blinked: "No, the soundproofing of the study room is good, why don't you go in and try?"

"Forget it," Lu Bingwen smiled at him, "Let's eat."

Maybe he really thought too much.

After eating, Duan Zhuoheng got up to clear the table very actively, but Lu Bingwen refused to help even if he wanted to.

"Why don't you watch TV first?" Duan Zhuoheng, who was doing the dishes in the kitchen, looked back at Lu Bingwen, who was sitting in the dining room watching him work.

Lu Bingwen didn't listen to him this time, and continued to sit there: "Actually, you don't have to do this. I have already asked my aunt to come over and clean up tomorrow."

"It's okay, it's not heavy work, I'll finish it in a while."

Duan Zhuoheng's movements were really neat, so that Lu Bingwen began to wonder if he had been abused in foreign countries these years. How could such a young master who had no fingers touch the spring water become what he is now?

"Why, are you dumbfounded?" Duan Zhuoheng finished packing and returned to the restaurant, seeing Lu Bingwen staring straight at him, he raised his eyebrows and joked with him, "Is the man who does housework particularly handsome?"

Lu Bingwen was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, his eyes drifted away: "It's okay, it's just so-so."

Duan Zhuoheng covered his mouth and held back his laughter, not to expose his shyness.

Lu Bingwen felt that the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, so he turned and fled to the living room. Duan Zhuoheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly followed.

"You still, is there something wrong?"

When Duan Zhuoheng was about to sit down on the sofa, Lu Bingwen suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Ah?" Duan Zhuoheng pursed his lips and hesitated, "Can I stay?"

Of course, this stay is not as simple as the superficial meaning.

Duan Zhuoheng felt that according to the current relationship between him and Lu Bingwen, some things were already tacitly understood by everyone, and there was no need to explain them clearly.

However, Lu Bingwen's answer clearly told him that it was you who were thinking too much.

"Forget it, I still have to study tonight."

Duan Zhuoheng: "..."

"Okay then," Duan Zhuoheng was a little reluctant, and could only agree, but, "Then it's okay to have a meal together at noon tomorrow, right?"

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

"Won't it be inconvenient?"

Lu Bingwen was a little embarrassed, and pointed to his mobile phone: "Sorry, Cheng Qing just asked me to have lunch at noon tomorrow, and it should be to talk about "Natural Idol"."

Duan Zhuoheng finally couldn't help it anymore, feeling the sour smell in the surrounding air: "Is there anything you can't say clearly on the phone? Do you have to have dinner together? Last time Sugan caused you to be scolded so much, how dare he Asking you out?! On purpose, right?"

"You think too much, Cheng Qing is not that kind of person."

"I didn't think too much about it. He has already harbored ill intentions towards you. It's on purpose that he insists on meeting for things that can be solved by WeChat and phone calls!"

"You are enough, Duan Zhuoheng," Lu Bingwen frowned, "There is nothing between me and Cheng Qing, why don't you be suspicious."

"You think he's innocent, but he..." Duan Zhuoheng wanted to say something more, but saw Lu Bingwen's face getting uglier, knowing that he was really angry, so he had to shut up.

"Okay, I was thinking about it, I apologize, I'm sorry."

Duan Zhuoheng squatted down, reluctantly took Lu Bingwen's hand after apologizing: "Then I said I'm sorry, can you give me a reward?"
