When he met her, Lu Zhong's eyes flashed with a slight surprise, but when he touched her defensive look, his eyes darkened slightly, but he still smiled gently, not being too close to disgust her, and not being alienated to keep the two of them safe.

distance.

"Are you injured?"

Zhen Shan shook his head, "No."

"That's good."

The rickshaw master was still apologizing, but Lu Zhong was good-tempered and didn't care, and helped Zhen Shan pay the fare.

After receiving the amnesty, the rickshaw master immediately picked up his rickshaw and sped away.

Zhen Shan had no choice but to just say hello and get away. Calling a rickshaw would be too deliberate. At this time, no matter what the reason, falling out with Lu Zhong would not be good for her family.

Lu Zhong smiled, "There is a teahouse next to it, let's have a cup of tea together?"

Zhen Shan remained silent and did not refuse. She never thought about escaping. Sooner or later, she would have to face it without the initial anger and extremeness.

"Why are Mr. Lu here at this time?"

It's Lu Ren's birthday. How should I put it? As the eldest son, he should be very busy.

Lu Zhong turned his eyes and looked at the building next to him, "Come to buy a birthday gift."

Zhen Shan's red lips twitched slightly. She came to buy her father's birthday gift on the same day. This perfunctory behavior was not covered up at all.

Lu Zhong seemed to see what she was thinking, and the smile on his brows deepened, and he said nonchalantly: "He doesn't need me to give him gifts. Maybe my gift will spoil his old man's interest."

Zhen Shan: "..."

When father and son are at odds, Zhen Shan naturally won't give any advice. It would be good if he didn't curse them behind his back and make the family uneasy.

Of course, there is no need for her to curse. The Lu family is now like a colosseum, with parents, brothers and sisters biting each other.

Lu Zhong didn’t mind her attitude, as if he just said a joke, “Let’s go.”

Zhen Shan: “Don’t you want to buy Shouli?”

"Zheng He just goes and buys it."

Zhen Shan: "..."

Zheng He was very used to his boss's operations, "Do you have any favorite gifts?"

Lu Zhong seemed to ponder for a moment, thinking about his father's hobbies, "My dad likes Western clocks very much."

Zhen Shan: "..."

Giving a bell to your father on his birthday is truly a filial act!

Zheng He also had a blank look on his face, sending the bell? Boss, are you serious?

Lu Zhong chuckled lightly, "It seems that the best Western clock in Baohe Xuan has been reserved recently. Let's give it to the Jade Buddha."

Zheng He hurriedly agreed, lest the boss would say some disobedient and unfilial gift again, and he might as well forget about the matter of making his own father angry to death.

Zhen Shan looked at Lu Zhong and said that family scandals should not be made public. Lu Zhong was such a smiling tiger, but he did not hide his hostility towards Lu Ren at all, as if the other party was not his father, but an enemy. Was it for her to see, or for them?

The contradiction between us has reached an irreconcilable point, and we are completely torn apart, and we are not even willing to be hypocritical?

Zhen Shan couldn't guess what Lu Zhong was thinking, but it didn't seem to be a bad thing for her. The more chaotic the Lu family was, the harder it would be, and she couldn't ask for it.

With countless thoughts running through his mind, Zhen Shan walked into the teahouse and was led to a private room by the waiter.

Lu Zhong asked her about her preferences and ordered tea and some snacks.

The tea was fragrant, and the sweet and slightly bitter taste filled her lips and teeth. Unconsciously, her heart calmed down, and Zhen Shan was in a daze. Ever since she decided to go to Country M and let go of her hatred for the Lu family and Lu Zhong, she had thought about it, maybe for many years

Finally, when I saw him again, he was so peaceful.

It's just that she thought they would become strangers in the end, and they would just nod when they met, and there would be no interactions. However, she never thought that something like that would happen. After she woke up that morning, if she had a knife in her hand, she might not have slapped him in the face.

, but killed him directly.

She originally thought that she would fight to the death with Lu Zhong in the future, but...

Zhen Shan lowered his eyes and looked at the delicate plum blossom pattern on the white porcelain tea cup in his hand, and secretly exhaled, knowing that things in the world are impermanent.

"Why?"

She asked softly without raising her eyes.

Lu Zhong paused while holding the teacup. He understood what she meant by such a no-brainer question, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but it was inexplicably astringent, "You don't believe it."

Zhen Shan remained silent despite the bull-headed answer.

Why were you willing to risk your life and fall into Boss Bai's trap?

You don’t believe me just because of you!

Zhen Shan suddenly felt that sometimes it was better not to be too smart. If she were stupid, she probably wouldn't think so complicatedly.

In the beginning, no one knew about her existence. Zhen Shan was able to look at the world without any disturbance from outsiders, and even mocked the silly, sweet, and stupid people without any politeness. Now that she is involved in the situation, she realizes how tired and helpless she is.

Looking forward and backward, emotional entanglements and unclear grievances are like nails piercing her soul, nailing her to the tombstone of sorrow.

Zhen Shan suddenly understood the numbness on many people's faces. It wasn't that they didn't want to stand up, but that they couldn't stand up at all. The reality was too heavy. In this precarious era, one could only live one day at a time.

But the more painful it was, the more raging the unwilling flame in her heart became, unable to let herself be manipulated willingly.

"sorry."

The man's hoarse voice was filled with sincere apology. Zhen Shan was slightly startled. Then she smiled coldly and said, "These three words can't go back to the past."

So it doesn't make any sense to her.

Lu Zhong smiled bitterly, "I know, but I must tell you no matter what."

Zhen Shan looked at him deeply and said, "That's all, I just hope that one day, I can face Master Lu again with swords."

Lawrence Lu frowned slightly, "Shanshan, Boss Bai, I can't just sit back and watch."

Zhen Shan's eyes turned cold, then returned to normal. With the relationship between Bai Yuan and Boss Bai, it was impossible for them not to have spies in place, and her plan was not flawless. Lu Zhong could guess it, so it was no surprise.

She is willing to sit here and drink tea with him now, not only because she does not want to break up, but also because it is a test. If he intervenes, her plan to kill Boss Bai will not go smoothly.

Just, "reason!"

Is it possible that Bai Yuan still has some brotherly feelings for Boss Bai, so Lu Zhong is scrupulous about it? This is probably even more unrealistic than Lu Zhong's brothers and sisters in the Lu family.

Zhen Shan believed that the other party had some plans.
