Autumn water is long

Chapter 22 Moon Goddess

"Brother, what are you thinking?" A childish voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Chunfeng came back from trance in a daze.

He put down the drawing with only one stroke, smiled and touched the head of the little boy who looked only five or six years old lying on the hospital bed: "Brother is wondering, did Xiao Yun obediently listen to the doctor's orders today?"

The little boy on the bed had a thick needle pierced in his arm, and bright red liquid flowed out of his small body, entered a large machine, and then flowed back into Xiao Yun's body.

Xiaoyun showed her bald front teeth and said with a smile: "Xiaoyun is very good during the day. He didn't cry when he took medicine and injections. The doctor said that my illness will be cured soon."

Ye Chunfeng pampered Xiaoyun's nose.

He paused, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Xiaoyun, my brother wants to ask you a question."

"Brother, tell me, Xiaoyun wants to give his brother an answer even if he wants to break his head." Xiaoyun raised his proud little head.

"Tell me, why does a person who has a leg problem but is able to walk independently as long as he works a little like Xiaoyun and works hard, why does he have to sit in a wheelchair all the time?"

"Hmm—" Xiaoyun elongated his voice, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Ye Chunfeng didn't understand why he would ask such a question to a child, and was about to say, "Brother, don't ask."

Xiaoyun suddenly said: "Does he have no parents?"

Ye Chunfeng: "Huh?"

Xiaoyun: "I have a brother and mother who love me. If it was Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun would stand up very hard and not let his brother and mother feel sorry for me. I want to tell my brother and mother that Xiaoyun is fine!"

Ye Chunfeng's mind suddenly flashed the unpopular emptiness of the Lu mansion, and the cold dark furniture overflowing everywhere.

-

Qiu Yibei put down the phone, the professional smile on the phone just now disappeared when the phone was hung up.

Yan Yan put a document in front of Qiu Yibei and asked, "Why did the Ning family contact us Nanfei?"

"Ning Xinghe offered a valuation twice as high as the Lu family's, and asked for the land at No. 27 Younan Road."

"Our contract with Lu's hasn't been signed yet. He raised the valuation in order to maliciously force us to break the contract with Lu's?"

Qiu Yibei clasped her hands together: "Not only that, now our Nanfei is really under attack."

Yan Yan was puzzled: "It's the Lu family that should be worried, and the Ning family's share ratio is very beneficial to Nan Fei."

"Ning Xinghe's doing this is not aimed at the Lu family, but to extend an invitation to the Lu family again. The benefits of this golden land, he wants to squeeze us out, and then share it with the Lu family." Qiu Yibei leaned back on the office chair "How do you know that before Ning Xinghe called me this time, he didn't give Lu Zhengting a break?"

At this moment, Qiu Yibei's cell phone rang twice.

He received a message from Lu Ting, only four words: The Ning family has moved.

Qiu Yibei showed the content of the message to Yan Yan.

"The Ning family has been deeply involved in lawsuits recently. Ning Xinghe is now interested in transforming into the virtual industry. He is not worried about his father's safety. He just thinks that this is a good opportunity for him to get rid of the title of relying on his father. He made a move, not with us A win-win situation, but a mutual destruction with us.”

Yan Yan tentatively asked: "Ning Xinghe's movements are classified information, how did you know?"

Qiu Yibei looked at the secretary's office that had been vacant outside, and regretfully said: "The secretary next to Lu Ting is a rare talent."

Yan Yan also followed Qiu Yibei's gaze, and then turned her head: "Lu Ting's backdoor listing is a good idea, and you happen to be short of a capable secretary."

"I need to think about it again." Qiu Yibei's eyes immediately drooped, "Didn't you realize that Lu Ting didn't reveal that he didn't hesitate to give his hard work just to help us? He unconditionally supported his own husband?"

Qiu Yibei said in a deep voice: "It's not just you, I don't believe it either, you said yesterday that he is not as harmless as he appears on the surface."

Yan Yan: "I..."

Qiu Yibei's mobile phone still maintains the interface just now, without automatically turning off the screen.

It was intermittently filled with messages from Lu Ting, but there was not a single green dialog box sent from Qiu Yibei.

Qiu Yibei lowered her head, her temples resting on her knuckles, but her gaze never left Lu Ting's gray flame head.

Seeing this, Yan Yan retreated silently, but her expression was a little hesitant.

She returned to her workstation, did not sit down, stood still for a while, and called Lu Ting.

The two made an appointment at the cafe opposite Nanfei Real Estate.

As soon as Lu Ting took his seat, he asked, "Is it because of Ning Xinghe?"

Yan Yan hesitated for a moment: "Yes, and no."

"For the north of autumn?" Lu Ting thought about it and asked again.

"Not at all."

Lu Ting laughed and said, "Miss Xiaoyan also likes to play riddles now."

He took a sip of the latte that Yan Yan ordered for him, and frowned slightly, it was too sweet.Lu Ting pushed aside.

"What does Qiu Yibei think of Ning Xinghe's actions?" Lu Ting asked.

Yan Yan: "The enemy is on the back."

"Being attacked?" Lu Ting raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his lips, "What does he mean, he still wants to guard against me?"

Yan Yan didn't speak, and took a sip of coffee with her head down.

Lu Ting said calmly: "Acquisition of Niying, and making Nanfei go public is not in a hurry. Everyone came here from the capital. It's normal for him to be wary of me. Now it's time to deal with Ning Xinghe. You tell him that he can use my people as he pleases, but Boss Qiu’s is good, I have already talked to them completely, whether it is seeking truth from facts or exaggerating. "

Yan Yan put down the coffee, followed Lu Ting's words, and said seriously: "Qiuyibei is indeed very good."

Lu Ting said with a smile: "You and my elder brother both said that he is very good, it seems that I got a big deal?"

"Whether he is good or not, we don't need to say, you should be very clear."

"It's really good," Lu Ting nodded, "Ability, character, and appearance. Except——"

Lu Ting put his elbows on the table and leaned forward: "There is a huge secret hidden in his heart."

Yan Yan's eyelashes flickered, and just as she was about to raise her head to meet Lu Ting's gaze, she saw Lu Ting suddenly retreat and lean back on the back of the chair.

Lu Ting turned the topic back very naturally: "You don't have to worry too much about Nanfei, Lu Zhengting is very scheming, and he won't be so easily seduced by Ning Xinghe. Moreover, this is a good time to kill two birds with one stone."

"You mean..." Yan Yan pondered: "Fulfill Qiu Yibei's promise to double Lu Zhengting's market value?"

Lu Ting acquiesced with a smile.

This time Yan Yan finally asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "Why did you help him? Because he is your husband?"

Lu Ting: "Miss Xiaoyan, if I say yes, will you believe me?"

Yan Yan didn't answer.

"You don't believe me." Lu Ting smiled wryly, "It's been too many years since I saw you, you're not sure what I've become, especially when I'm still in the Lu family..."

Lu Ting smiled and didn't continue talking.

He picked up the cup of latte that was too sweet for him, raised his head and took a sip, and when he put down the coffee cup, he frowned.

"I'm not sure, I'm still the little boy who deserves your pride to pat your chest and say that from now on I'll be your brother's little boy."

Yan Yan: "I... really don't dare to trust you anymore."

Lu Ting curled his lips and said softly: "Miss Xiaoyan, you don't have to believe me, it's already a great gift from God to meet again. But——no matter how I change, I still hope you can live well, It's like making a wish when the moon was full when I was a child."

Perhaps the latte was too sweet, which made Lu Ting's voice a little hoarse than before.

As Lu Ting's voice fell, a distant voice from more than ten years ago floated into Yan Yan's ears: "Goddess of the moon, I hope that sister Xiaoyan can be adopted by uncles and aunts who love her very much, and I hope she will be our No. The happiest one!"

Xiaoyan, who was only eight years old, asked, "Why don't you make a wish for yourself?"

The little boy whose voice is somewhat similar to the current Lu Ting replied: "Then I will make a wish for myself... I will live a little worse than Sister Xiaoyan!"

Memories mixed with Lu Ting's slightly hoarse voice at this time, as well as the immature voice of the little boy back then and Chicheng's wishes, flooded in and then receded like a tide.

Yan Yan's voice was hoarse for a while: "Goddess of the Moon, it's not working."

After saying a word, Yan Yan got up and left.

There is no turning back.

Lu Ting stared at Yan Yan's back for a long time, just like 17 years ago, his right hand fingered the huge mottled iron gate of No. 27 Younan Road, and his left hand held a piece of candy that Xiaoyan gave him before leaving, saying goodbye to the adopted person. Like Xiaoyan.

Back then, Xiaoyan didn't turn her head to look at Lu Ting until her figure disappeared.
