Lu, You are Being Too Hard on Others_1 Nanxi gave a strained âokayâ and said, âI have to visit my uncle tonight.â
Lan Qiqi uttered an âOh,â while Yang Suasked, âSo late?
Has something happened?â
Nanxi: âNo, I just wanted to have a look aroundâ¦
Donât worry, Iâm in a hurry, got to go!â
Having said that, she glanced at herself in the mirror, picked up her bag and walked out of the dorm room.
Only when she turned the corner downstairs did she let out a long sigh: Why am I feeling guilty even though I have done nothing wrong?
Iâm just too sensitive!
Nanxi didnât tell the truth to Lan Qiqi and Yang Su, not wanting them to interrogate her, and most importantly, she didnât want them to worry.
Nanxi had already decided to go to her uncleâs place after seeing Lu Yinchu.
The school lights out time was at 11 oâclock, and she was worried that she might not make it in time.
â¦
In the dorm room, while munching on a snack, Yang Su ventured, âI kind of find Nanxi a little odd today!â
Lan Qiqi dismissed the worry, âI think youâre overthinking it.â
Yang Su fell silent, frowning the whole time.
Nanxi has always been calm and composed, her occasional tiny mood changes as breezy as the wind, making people feel comfortable around her.
In their first year, Lan Qiqi and Yang Su were not in the same dorm as Nanxi.
But Li Weihuan was worried Nanxi would be lonely; Lan Qiqi and Yang Su were acquainted with Yan Chenqing, trusted individuals, so Li Weihuan felt safe leaving Nanxi with them.
Yang Su still remembered Li Weihuanâs words.
He said Nanxi was a very lonely girl.
Initially, he was drawn to her quiet and gentle demeanor, but he overlooked the subtleties of her sadness beneath that.
She appreciated the warmth and beauty around her, reluctant to throw away anything familiar.
She often smiles, making her seem like a warm-hearted girl.
But in reality, she just wanted to bring warmth to othersâ hearts.
At that moment, Yang Su suddenly felt that the Li Weihuan from back then was different from the current Li Weihuan.
He must have been deeply in love; otherwise, how could a naive young master care so much about a girl, paying attention to her every move and emotion.
Yang Su asked, âLanlan, do you think Nanxi and Li Weihuan can make it in the end?â
As Lan Qiqi took off her headphones, an expression of confusion crossed her face.
âWhat did you just say?â
Yang Su shook her head, massaging her forehead, âNever mind.â
She then went back to studying her thesis.
â¦
Nanxi insisted on taking a taxi to the hotel where Lu Yinchu was attending a banquet.
Mo Yan had no choice but to remind her to be careful.
Nanxi thanked him, finding it quite curious that such a cold-hearted person would show concern.
In less than half an hour, Nanxi got out of the taxi and saw Mo Yan waiting at the hotel entrance.
Nanxi felt slightly embarrassed.
She wasnât important enough to have a top assistant greet her personally!
Feeling somewhat moved, Nanxi walked over and greeted him politely.
Mo Yan responded indifferently, reverting to his icy cold demeanor, and said to Nanxi, âGet in the car and wait.
CEO Lu should be done in about ten to twenty minutes.â
Nanxi nodded her head and accompanied Mo Yan to the carâ¦
it was the black Land Rover.
She couldnât help but recall that blurry picture she saw online that day.
A sense of doubt surfaced in her mind as she turned to look at Mo Yan.
Their eyes met, and Mo Yan cleared his throat, asking somewhat awkwardly, âDo you need something, Miss Gu?â
âNoâ¦â Nanxi shook her head, âItâs just that, Mr.
Mo, Mr.
Luâ¦heâs a good person, isnât he?â
Mo Yan doesnât have a bad impression of Nanxi, seeing her as a clean and fresh girl.
Sheâs refreshing and comfortable to look at, and gives people a warm feeling.
Is she a sunray?
Perhaps, but this sunray wasnât meant for everyone to possess.
Now seeing this little girl asking a question that seemed both laughable and heartbreaking, he didnât know how to respond.
âAt least heâs not a bad person!â With a pressed lip, he finally replied.
Seems like an honest response!
In less than ten minutes, Lu Yinchu, surrounded by a group of men in suits, came out.
Seeing him in the crowd, Nanxi felt a little nervous, wondering how sheâll be able to persuade him to return the storefront.
She had already said everything last time, what to do now?
Eventually, Lu Yinchu took elegant strides, got into the car beside her, and the door closed.
The smell of tobacco mixed with alcohol wafted in, and a person took his place beside Nanxi.
The man seemed not to notice that she was sitting quietly like a schoolgirl, he told Mo Yan upfront, âLetâs go.â
The car started, and Nanxi thought they were probably going to Lu Yinchuâs home.
So she needed to get everything sorted before they arrived.
âMr.
Luâ¦â Nanxi began, her voice wavering slightly.
âI already know about your situation from Mo Yan!â Lu Yinchu remarked indifferently, rubbing his temples, looking tired.
âI indeed agreed to consider it, but Nanxi, it seems youâre being impatient.â
Nanxi was flustered.
Itâs not like she wanted to be impatient, but he was always away on business trips, and every trip lasted several days.
Even if she waited half a month before coming to him, would it still be of any use?
Her eyes briefly swept over her digital wristwatch; it was 8:50 in the evening.
It would probably take about half an hour to reach Lu Yinchuâs place, and Mo Yan said heâd try to drive slower to extend the ride by about five minutes.
Nanxi took a deep breath, âI understand that youâre very busy, Mr.
Lu, and my coming here is quite intrusive.
However, what may merely be a small issue for you means the world to my uncleâs family.
There are many places on West Street better than my uncleâs storefront.
With the price youâve offered, you can easily find a better location on West Streetâ¦â
The corner of the manâs mouth curled up into a slight smile, and he looked at her, âAre you implying that I am making unreasonable demands?â
Nanxi bit her lip, wanting to take back her words or maybe apologize, butâ¦
âYes, Mr.
Lu, you are making unreasonable demandsâ¦Of course, I also admit that my uncle was initially confused about the contract.
However, since there is a 15-day grace period for contract breaches without charge, then this period should serve both parties equitably.
For instance, during this period, either party can change their mind and the previous contract can be nullifiedâ¦
my uncle didnât understand and signed it anyways, but the fact is that this clause was unfair in the first place, wasnât it?â
âHa-ha!â Hearing Nanxiâs words, the man beside her involuntarily curled his lips into a smile, chuckling, which only made Nanxi more confused.
The manâs voice came again, softer this time, saying, âNanxi, we didnât hide anything from Mr.
Liang Youquan.
Everything was clearly stated in the agreement, and there was no coercion, threats, or inducements during the signingâ¦so what do you mean by unfair?â
