In the ward, Lu Yijian smiled bitterly. He first glanced at Chen Yue, who was still lying on the hospital bed, and then turned his eyes to me.

"I heard that the more you spend, everyone likes to drink morning tea. I wonder if there is any chance to ask you to take me to taste it?"

"I'm not familiar with you."

"Don't you want to know the reason?" Lu Yijian relaxed his tone, "Chen Yue needs more rest at this time. Before you come, I have already contacted the doctor to find out about her situation. We should not disturb her rest here."

I pondered for a while, and finally nodded and agreed to Lu Yijian. After leaving the hospital ward, I went up to Lu Yijian's black Maybach, and didn't go far away, so I found a morning tea shop nearby and went in.

I went into the morning tea shop. There were not many people in this shop. The meals we ordered were delivered one after another. Lu Yijian took out a box of Harmonious Yuxi from his pocket and asked me, "Do you smoke?"

"Yeah." I took out my cigarette from my pocket and put it on the table, "I have it myself, and I'm used to smoking red Nanjing."

After each lit a cigarette, Lu Yijian took a sip of tea, looked at me with a sad expression and said, "I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, but there are many things, not what you see on the surface."

"So, do you still want to say that you have difficulties?"

"This is true. Dongli, there are many times when I actually envy you."

"Envy me?"

Lu Yijian nodded at me. After taking a heavy breath of cigarette, he said in a low voice: "When Shen Yue and I were together at the beginning, our lives were still very happy. At that time, we were almost going to all the imperial capital and the surrounding cities, as long as they were fun places."

I didn't interrupt Lu Yijian, but just listened to him patiently. I wanted to know what he envied me and why did he do such an outrageous thing to Chen Yue.

"It's a pity... this beautiful life didn't last long. I did think about marrying her as my wife, and Chen Yue was willing to marry me, so we didn't take protective measures and chose to have children. Later, the family's business ushered in a bottleneck of development. I also took Chen Yue into my house, but my parents didn't want me to marry Shen Yue, even if... at that time Chen Yue had ruined the flesh and blood of our Lu family."

"My parents, in order to make the family business break through the bottleneck that has been stuck for many years and to make the group's stock price rise again, recommended a marriage to me, but I have never seen the other party's daughter, but I have heard of it online, that's all."

I asked, "What about you? Are you just letting your parents arrange it? To put it bluntly, it is a commercial marriage. According to what you said just now, your family's business has been listed. If you don't encounter any big trouble, you don't need to go to a commercial marriage at all."

Lu Yijian was silent for a while and explained: "You are wrong. When a group's business develops to a certain scale, your assets will no longer belong to you completely. The more you develop, the more likely it will touch the cheese of certain forces. The Li family, which is in business with our Lu family, happens to have such a jz background. It is not that there are no hidden dangers without any problems. On the surface, it looks very calm, but once there is a problem, it may be uprooted."

"Our Lu family and the Li family are married. I marry Li Qiuman. They invest in our Lu family's group and become the second largest shareholder. Some time ago, we got married. Li Qiuman is introverted. In her own words, she was born for art. Her daily life is about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's like an ancient person. I didn't talk to her, and the two of them almost didn't even say a few words."

Some people were born with a golden key in their arms and seemed to be admired by the world, but most of them had similar destinies, either business marriages or family missions, facing many choices, and even their beloved became victims. In this "war" where smokeless gunpowders were in fact Lu Yijian and Li Qiuman were just victims and victims, while Chen Yue was first a "stumbling block" between them and then a "stepping stone".

"When I encountered this situation, I didn't do anything, so... I came up with a bad idea and chose to run away from home and take Chen Yue back to A City to take her to take her baby because she stayed in the imperial capital. The air environment there was not so good, especially in winter, which would save my family from showing off her face."

After a moment of silence, I blew up the ashes and asked again: "Then you and Shen Yue came to A City, why did you abandon them and their mother and daughter later?"

"Because... the wedding date is coming!" Speaking of this, Lu Yijian was a man of about 1.8 meters, but he couldn't help but swallow even more. "Our Lu family has been in business for generations. It has been the fourth generation when it was passed down to me. I am still the only son of the family. The mission of that family is carried on me and has become the last straw that crushed my relationship with Shen Yue!"

"So... when you left City A, you knew it in your heart. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be your last meeting with Shen Yue."

Lu Yijian nodded with pain, "It was not until the wedding that I had a little more personal freedom. I was secretly paying attention to Chen Yue's affairs until I heard that she was about to jump off the building... I could no longer bear it, so I came to A City again. Dongli, in this matter, I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, Chen Yue would have been gone..."

When I heard Lu Yijian’s complaints to me, my anger gradually dissipated. Even if he didn’t say these words to me, I was actually not qualified to accuse Lu Yijian, because... Shen Yue and I were just a couple who had been in love but failed. After all, these things belong to their lives. What right do I have to interfere?

"Dongli, I said I envy you because Chen Yue loved the person deep down in her heart, but in fact, you are more. Several times, when she was dreaming late at night, the name she shouted was you. It was at that time that I learned about you from her mouth. I also understood that when Chen Yue was with me at the beginning, she fell in love with...my family background and background, but I couldn't give her what she wanted."

When I heard Lu Yijian say that Chen Yue was interested in his family background and background, I instantly recalled the words she said to me when I tried to keep Chen Yue at the airport.

"You have no money, no family background, and no background. Why do you let me continue to live with you?"

Those words seemed to be engraved in my heart, and the sounds lingered in my mind at this moment.

We hadn't moved the tea on the table before, and the tea in the cup was cold, but six cigarette butts were inserted into the small ashtray.

I picked up the teapot, added some hot tea to both myself and Lu Yijian's tea cups, smiled gently, and said, "It's no point to telling me about these things. If Chen Yue hadn't encountered such a thing, I wouldn't have met her again in this life, let alone any intersection."

Lu Yijian glanced at the cup of tea on the table. His addiction to cigarettes was much greater than mine, so he added another cigarette and asked, "I don't understand, Chen Yue loved you so much, why did she break up with you?"

"When you said those words to me just now, the answer was already inside. She had been with me for three years, but at that time, I was still a poor boy who couldn't even pay the rent. How could I talk about happiness? Are you full of love? Chen Yue is the 'realistic' to you and me, and I am just an 'ideal'."

After a long silence, Lu Yijian let out a sip of smoke and said in a deep voice: "Ha! This ridiculous life... Dongli, can you agree to my request?"
