He now regrets that he agreed to Fang Xiaosu to go out to find a job, and he would not be in this situation today.

He deserves all of this, and there is no one to blame.

It seems that Fang Xiaosu should be left to dry out. She might lead him away one day.

If he continued to indulge her, where would his reputation as the president of the Gu Group be?

Manager Du originally thought that Fang Xiaosu would not come, but he did not expect that she would still come to work on time.

So he immediately called Lian Chen, and Lian Chen just said lightly that he understood.

"Manager Du, who are you calling?"

Fang Xiaosu didn't know when she arrived behind him and suddenly made a sound.

Lian Chen on the other end of the phone also heard Fang Xiaosu's voice, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

I heard that Manager Du wanted to hide it, but Fang Xiaosu saw through it directly.

"It's Mr. Lian, can I say a few words to him?"

Hearing what Fang Xiaosu said, Lian Chen's heart beat faster, and Lian Chen couldn't hear what Manager Du said.

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle voice came from the other side of the phone, "Mr. Lian."

This was the first time that Fang Xiaosu called him this, and he felt strange and alienated.

This feeling made Lian Chen very uncomfortable. He said in a steady tone, "Xiao Su, just call me by my name. No need to be so polite."

"Really, Mr. Lian, do you have time? I want to meet you."

Lian Chen's hand shook and he almost dropped his phone, but he quickly responded, "Okay."

Fang Xiaosu then hung up the phone, looked at Manager Du who was staring anxiously next to him, and returned the phone to him, "Sorry to trouble you, Manager Du."

Watching Fang Xiaosu leave, Manager Du felt that the air around him was circulating again. He secretly thought that next time he called, he must find a place where Fang Xiaosu couldn't see him.

When Yu Wanqiu received a call from Ji Zhao, she was in a meeting in the conference room. She hung up the call without looking at him, but she didn't expect that he kept calling. It seemed that she would not give up if she didn't answer him. generally.

Others also noticed her mobile phone and did not say anything. No one dared to say anything. However, the manager spoke up, "Wanqiu, if you are busy with something, go and answer the phone first. In case there is something urgent. .”

Yu Wanqiu had no choice but to apologize to them and come out of the conference room first.

She returned to the office, but there was no one inside. She closed the door before answering Ji Zhao's call.

"Mr. Ji, didn't I tell you not to call me unless I take the initiative to find you?"

"Miss Yu, if I don't call you, who can I call? I still have to eat."

Ji Zhao said lazily.

"What do you mean, haven't I already given you the money? There is no cooperation between us."

"Miss Yu, you gave me the money, but I don't dare to go out at all during this period. People have been checking my whereabouts in the past few days. I have no choice but to come to you."

Yu Wanqiu knew that he wanted to blackmail her, and said angrily, "Ji Zhao, don't act like a rogue here. I tell you, I have paid the money I have to pay a long time ago. Don't bother me again."

She was about to hang up the phone, but he threatened, "If this happens, I will have to go to Fang Xiaosu. When the time comes, don't let me turn my back on you."

Yu Wanqiu crumpled the white paper on the table into a ball and controlled her emotions, "What do you want?"

"5000000.

As long as you give me this number, I will never bother you again. "

"Are you crazy? Where can I get so much money?"

Yu Wanqiu cursed, she didn't expect Ji Zhao to be a troublesome person. She thought he was a good chess piece at first, but she missed this person.

"Miss Yu is kind and scheming. I believe she won't be able to trouble you. I'll give you two days. I'll see you at the same place then."

He didn't give Yu Wanqiu a chance to speak and hung up the phone.

Yu Wanqiu slapped her cell phone on the table and threw the ball of paper in her hand. It seemed that Ji Zhao couldn't stay. Every time there was a first time, there would be a second time. He was a bottomless pit.

The only way to shut him up forever is to make him disappear completely.

Yu Wanqiu made a decision in her heart. This was forced by Ji Zhao. Anyway, it was not like she had never killed anyone before, so it didn't hurt to kill one more.

After Lian Chen arrived at the store, he and Fang Xiaosu went to the coffee shop.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting opposite each other. Compared to Fang Xiaosu's direct gaze, Lian Chen's eyes were evasive and he did not dare to face her.

"This square is yours."

Fang Xiaosu's tone didn't sound like a question, but rather as if he was stating a fact.

Lian Chen nodded and acquiesced, "I'm sorry, I hid it from you."

"Why did you lie to me? Why did you want to get close to me? What is your purpose?"

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Fang Xiaosu asked directly.

"I don't want to lie to you, and I don't have any purpose. I just wanted to be friends with you as an ordinary person at the beginning. I was afraid that you would stay away from me because of my identity."

Lian Chen looked at Fang Xiaosu sincerely and explained to her.

"What is your identity? Heir to the Lian Group or my boss?"

Fang Xiaosu said aggressively.

"That's right, I am the heir to the Lian Group. I didn't tell you first because I was afraid that you would think I was too complicated, and secondly because I was afraid that it would bring you trouble."

Fang Xiaosu sneered, "Do you think I won't be affected if you don't tell me? Manager Du told me that it was because of you that I was able to work here in the first place."

"Xiao Su, don't get me wrong. This is just a coincidence. Manager Du said that even if I didn't tell you to come to work at that time, they would have informed you because you are indeed capable."

Lian Chen hurriedly explained that he didn't want Fang Xiaosu to doubt him, nor did he want her to hate him because of this incident.

Manager Du told her the same thing, and Fang Xiaosu felt somewhat comforted. Maybe he didn't lie to her.

"What did you mean when you said you were afraid of causing trouble to me?"

If she understood correctly, Lian Chen said that he would implicate her. Fang Xiaosu couldn't help but feel frightened when she thought of saving him before.

"I am the heir of the Lian family. My father is Lian Yifu. I have a stepmother who gave birth to a son. Over the years, she has been trying to kill me so that her son can get the inheritance rights of the Lian family."

Fang Xiaosu did not expect that Lian Chen would suddenly tell her about his life experience. She looked at him in shock, but did not interrupt because she was also curious.

"But I have always been by my father's side, and she couldn't find a chance to take action. At the beginning of the year, I went back to China for official business, and she found an opportunity. She found someone and wanted them to kill me, but I was lucky. Escape, I happened to meet you at that time, and the phone call I asked you to make was for home."

"Why is she fighting for the right to inherit? Isn't it the same who inherits? You and her son are both members of the Lian family."

"Her son is not my father's flesh and blood."

Fang Xiaosu was stunned. There was something so outrageous. Are the families of rich people so complicated? "She has someone outside. Her son was born to someone else. My dad raised her for more than 20 years."

When Lian Chen said this, his face turned cold.

He couldn't calm down when he thought that his mother had passed away since he was born, but Ji Yueru had lived a carefree life with Lian Xi until now.

"Then does your father know?"

If Lian Yifu knew the truth, could he accept this reality? It was too cruel after all.

"I told him the truth some time ago. This is something we have to face. It's just a matter of time."

"Where's your mom?"

After hearing him talk so much but not a word about her, Fang Xiaosu was a little curious about her.

"She left when I was little."

Lian Chen's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Fang Xiaosu looked at Lian Chen in front of him and couldn't tell what he was feeling.

He lost his mother's love when he was a child, and he grew up with his stepmother trying every possible means to murder her. I really can't imagine how he survived to this day.

There was an uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and Fang Xiaosu knew that it was sympathy.

I originally wanted to see him today and draw a clear line between him and him, but after learning about his life experience, Fang Xiaosu couldn't say anything.

He must be very lonely. He has no mother and grew up alone. His father is busy managing the company, so he definitely doesn't have much time to spend with him.

"I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness."

Lian Chen smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I haven't felt anything for a long time."

He seems to have always been like this, so indifferent to everything, but whether he is happy or sad in his heart, only he knows.

Thinking of the last time he dropped out of class, Fang Xiaosu seemed to have figured something out, "Did you drop out of class because of me?"

She didn't think much about it at first, but when she heard what Lian Chen said, she felt something was wrong.

Lian Chen didn't admit it, just looked at her, but Fang Xiaosu confirmed his suspicion.

It was really because of her, so he was worried about her getting hurt. Fang Xiaosu felt that he was too selfish and cowardly. Even in the morning, he always thought of her, but she thought he was a trouble and just wanted to stay away from him, but I never thought that he would always treat her as a friend sincerely.

"Why didn't you tell me that I said such unpleasant things to you?"

The more Fang Xiaosu thought about it, the more guilty she felt and couldn't hold her head up.

Lian Chen just chuckled and shook his head, "I was the one who caused you trouble. You were my teacher, but I was so careless. Anyone else would be angry. It's not your fault."

"Thank you, Lian Chen."

Fang Xiaosu stretched out her hand towards him and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Originally, I asked you out today because I wanted to tell you not to contact you again, but now I know that my understanding of you is very one-sided. I originally thought I can live a stable life without contact, but I don’t want to lose you as a friend more than living a stable life.”

Fang Xiaosu's words surprised Lian Chen. He had thought of Fang Xiaosu's purpose for asking him today, but he didn't expect that she would say this in the end, "Xiao Su, are you telling the truth?"

Fang Xiaosu nodded heavily, "Of course, what, do you want to be my friend?"

When Lian Chen heard this, he hurriedly held her white and small hand. He no longer looked calm and indifferent, and for the first time he experienced ups and downs of emotions, "Of course I am willing, thank you, Xiao Su."

"What are you thanking me for? I haven't done anything."

Fang Xiaosu was amused by his appearance, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.

"By the way, your husband didn't give you any trouble yesterday, right?"
