194: Chapter 170: A Ghost under the Albizia Tree: He is a Man Favored by the Gods_1 194: Chapter 170: A Ghost under the Albizia Tree: He is a Man Favored by the Gods_1 When Lu Yinchu returned to the living room, the old man had woken up from his nap and was having tea.
After Xia Zhen gave Lu Yinchu a look, she left.
Lu Yinchu walked over and sat down across from the old man.
“Xiangchen’s wife ca just now?”
The old man lifted his tea cup, his gaze indifferent and his voice tinged with a trace of exhaustion.
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips and nodded, “Yes.”
The old man sighed, “Because of this woman, Xiangchen has suffered all his life, but after all, she gave birth to three children for Xiangchen; Mufang, Muyun and Weihuan, all of whom I genuinely like.
It’s better to let go of so things.
I think your father might have thought the sa.”
Lu Yinchu didn’t say anything else, he nodded in agreent.
So things, he could only bury deep in his heart, not tell anyone, so that even when he was in pain, it wouldn’t double, making those around him suffer with him.
Who else could be the eldest grandson and eldest son of the Lu family, the pillar of the Lu family?
At four in the afternoon, Lu Yinchu got in the car and left for the company, with Mo Yan coming to pick him up.
Once in the car, Lu Yinchu remained silent.
Mo Yan was accustod to his silence, so he didn’t say much and focused on driving instead.
After about five minutes, Lu Yinchu lifted his eyes to look outside the window.
His thin lips moved as he started to speak, “Do you really plan on going on alone like this?”
Mo Yan was taken aback.
There were only the two of them in the car so naturally, Lu Yinchu’s words were directed at him.
“I heard that Qiaoqiao is looking for a match.
The conditions seem quite good and Qiaoqiao seems to have taken it seriously.”
After a mont, he spoke again, “Qiaoqiao likes you, I think you should know that.”
Mo Yan’s eyes flickered, and he didn’t say anything imdiately, his gaze drifting lightly to the window outside.
Outside the car window, the albizia flowers in the open park were in full bloom.
Even with the distance and a layer of glass between them, he felt as if he could still sll the gentle fragrance of the albizia flowers.
He rembered hearing a saying when he was young: “There are ghosts under the Albizia tree”.
He didn’t know if it was true or false, but he rembered it every ti he saw an albizia tree.
What would the ghost under the albizia tree look like?
Would it be as beautiful as the albizia flower?
Years later, he t a woman that was more beautiful than the albizia flower.
He told her this anecdote, and she laughed.
She had a beautiful laugh.
She hugged his neck and said, “If one day, I unfortunately leave, you can think of as the ghost under the albizia tree.
Whenever you see the albizia tree, it ans you are seeing , okay?”
No, not okay!
He was very angry at the ti and imdiately held her close.
He wouldn’t allow her to leave, especially not him!
But later, she really did leave him in a manner that was entirely definitive.
In that mont, it was as if he saw a strong hand reaching out to him, piercing through his flesh to take out his heart.
It was a bloodied ss.
He told himself that this is what heartbreak truly felt like, it was this devastating.
In this world, there is a type of loss, called loss beyond hope.
Her departure took away a man nad Mo Yan’s heart, and also took away everything of his, including love.
“I think it’s quite good.
The way things are now is the best,” This was his answer.
Lu Yinchu glanced at Mo Yan.
Even without seeing his expression, he could feel the stiffness in his back.
The so-called persistence, he and Mo Yan were alike, so there were so words that seed like they should be said, but also seed like they shouldn’t be spoken.
In the end, all he said was, “I just want to remind you, life always goes forward.
In your current state, she wouldn’t be able to rest easy.”
Mo Yan’s thin lips moved slightly.
Unbeknownst to him, his eyes had already filled with mist.
…
Nanxi applied for the staff dormitory.
She thought that now that she had to work, living in the staff dormitory was more convenient.
Of course, if Yang Su found a suitable rental house, she wouldn’t mind going there to hang out once in a while.
Han Baobao didn’t want to stay in the dormitory, saying that she could have a family driver pick her up every day.
Nanxi thought that Han Baobao really didn’t need to co here to go through such hardship just for a handso deputy minister.
Her brother’s company was so much larger than Qihang, she could have easily learned at her own family’s company, there’s no need for her to co to Qihang.
After leaving Qihang Group, Han Baobao planned to go straight ho.
After saying goodbye to Nanxi, Nanxi watched Han Baobao get into a rather sleek sports car.
Inside the car was a young man wearing sunglasses, his face indistinguishable.
Nanxi frowned, wondering if Han Baobao was really going ho.
Nanxi was a bit worried, but it was ultimately not her business.
Plus, the Han Family held a certain standing in H City, and most people wouldn’t dare lay a finger on Han Baobao.
Taking a deep breath, she guessed what was most important now was solving her own problems.
She was supposed to start interning at Qihang tomorrow, and to be honest, she was quite looking forward to it.
However, she found sothing quite strange.
Why did it seem like there were so many new people in her departnt present at the welco party today?
Weren’t they only going to hire five people?
…
When Lu Yinchu left the company, he glanced at the ti: 5:40 PM.
Mo Yan, noticing his halted steps, understood and said, “The Qihang Group’s new staff welco party just ended a little while ago!”
With a nonchalant hum, the man cast a casual glance at the direction of Qihang Group.
He said nothing, and walked over to the car to get in.
As the car started, Lu Yinchu looked blankly out the window.
Mo Yan turned the car around, heading towards the street where Qihang Group was located.
Lu Yinchu remained silent the whole ti, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.
Slowly, smoke filled the car.
His facial contours appeared cold, his gaze flickered, and his fingertips slightly trembled.
Mo Yan hesitated for a mont.
Was Lu Yinchu…
nervous?
After driving for about eight or nine minutes, Mo Yan began to slow the car down and gradually pulled over.
Not far away, a slender girl in professional attire was waving goodbye to another girl.
Mo Yan glanced at the man in the back seat and, unsurprisingly, his gaze was focused intently on her, full of deep and intense affection.
Mo Yan’s lips curled slightly.
He once believed that he and she had similar destinies, but the heavens seemingly favored so more than others, like Lu Yinchu!
Mo Yan’s gaze returned to the girl in the distance.
Soone seed to have called her, and she took the call.
The wind blew her flops of hair on her forehead, and she was frowning, seemingly discussing sothing.
She was a peaceful, beautiful girl, who reminded him of her once again.
…
Nanxi took a call.
It was from Li Weihuan, who wanted to pick her up for dinner to celebrate her first day on the job.
Nanxi felt like it was a bit too much.
It wasn’t that great of a job and she felt embarrassed.
But Li Weihuan said the reservation had already been made and it would be rude to cancel now, and he asked her where she was.
Nanxi replied, “Just tell where, I’ll head there directly.
It’ll be convenient that way.”
Li Weihuan thought for a mont and said, “Alright, but be careful on your way.
Call when you get there and I’ll co to pick you up.”
Nanxi nodded and replied, “Alright.”
…
After hanging up, Bai Yuchuan motioned to his car keys and asked Li Weihuan, “You’re not going to pick her up?”
Li Weihuan sipped his beer and said, “She said she’s coming over herself.
She’s not far, about a fifteen-minute journey.”
“The weather’s not great outside, and the forecast predicts rain.
Even if it’s a two-minute journey, there could still be…”
Before Bai Yuchuan could finish his sentence, another person suddenly appeared and swiftly snatched the car keys from his hand.
The man’s clear voice echoed, “I’m going out for a bit.”
Then he sped off towards the door.
Left a bit stunned, Bai Yuchuan chuckled.
Beside him, Zhang Mu made a ‘tut-tut’ sound, saying, “Li Weihuan’s feelings for Nanxi are undeniable.
If I were a woman, I would’ve married him already.
I wonder what Nanxi is thinking.”
Bai Yuchuan’s smile faded and he glanced at Zhang Mu, asking him, “If you t a man far better than Li Weihuan, would you still feel the sa?”
Zhang Mu was taken aback, not understanding the aning behind Bai Yuchuan’s words.
Before he had a chance to ask, Bai Yuchuan had already stood up and thrown out a “I’m off to the restroom,” before walking away.
Zhang Mu: “…” Sothing’s not quite right here.
