When You’re Gone

Hearing this, Liang Shu still trembled in her heart. She held her fingers and said seriously: "Grandpa, you will live a long life."

Lu Lixian shook his head and sighed, "When you are old, people are no longer useful."

After all, Lu Lixian glanced at Liang Shu, the expression on his face was a little different from usual.

All sorts of twists and turns passed through Liang Shu's mind one by one, and in the end she couldn't guess Lu Lixian's purpose for meeting her today.

And Lu Lixian put the crutch in his hand aside, looked down at the coffee on the table, frowned slightly.

For a long time, Lu Lixian looked at Liang Shu who was sitting across from him. He smiled like an old man: "Good boy, why don't you tell us when you are married?"

Liang Shu thought about it for a moment, before speaking, with caution in her words, she said: "My marriage to Mr. Gu... is not a very happy marriage, so it was not made public at that time."

"I didn't expect you to be with Gu Hansheng." Lu Lixian shook his head and sighed.

And Liang Shu didn't speak.

Soon, he spoke again: "A Shu, do you hate the Lu family?"

Over the years, although Lu Lixian kept one eye closed, he knew many things in his heart.

But he is not right.

He used to be the most authoritative existence in the Lu Family. If he deliberately wanted to protect someone, he would definitely be able to protect it.

Therefore, to Lu Lixian, Liang Shu is nothing more than that.

But when Liang Shu was in the Lu family, Lu Lixian was one of the few people who treated her well.

But now, Lu Lixian directly asked her whether she hated the Lu family?

Does she hate it?

The answer is yes.

She hates the Lu family.

The Lu family took her away from the orphanage. She should have been grateful, but no one knew that it was a personal purgatory for her.

In those two years, she could not leave casually.

Because the Lu family is a noble family, the most important thing for the children of these distinguished families is family reputation.

However, she did not die in the Lu family that year, so now, people who know about this still feel that the Lu family is her great benefactor.

Since he is a great benefactor, then how can he hate it?

But when Liang Shu was Lu Lixian's face, she couldn't lie, and she was even more unwilling to lie to this old man who had been kind to herself.

So she curled up her lips with a faint smile, and said in a very calm tone: "Grandpa, hate is also a kind of emotion."

After a pause, Liang Shu clenched his hands on his knees, "I have feelings for the Lu family and for you."

"What about Jinsheng?" Lu Lixian looked at her with slightly muddy eyes.

Liang Shu pursed his lips, his expression a little unspeakable.

Lu Lixian shook his head again and sighed, "I know that kid made a lot of mistakes, but he..."

"Are you trying to say that he has me in his heart?" Liang Shu interrupted Lu Lixian, then continued his words.

The other party was startled and stared at her.

Liang Shu smiled, but there was no color in his eyes. She said, "Grandpa, no matter what he thinks in his heart, the pain he brings to me is endless, even if he really loves me, even if he has a basket. I can’t talk about the difficulties of listening to others, but these are not the reasons why he should hurt me.”

When she finished speaking, Lu Lixian's expression cracked for a moment.

He seemed to have lost hope suddenly, sitting opposite Liang Shu and staying silent for a long time.

Liang Shu looked down at the steaming coffee in front of him, fingers under the table with thumbs up on his fingernails.

She thought this conversation should end here.

I didn't know that Lu Lixian looked at her and suddenly said, "A Shu, can Grandpa ask you something?"

Liang Shu's expression was indifferent, watching him silently.

The expression on Lu Lixian's face was a bit gray. Although he knew it was impossible, he still said: "The Lu family can't do such a project now, but no one can stop him now, can you..."

"Grandpa, I can't." Liang Shu interrupted him again.

Lu Lixian was startled.

Soon, he said, "A Shu."

The heart-to-hearted A Shu called Liang Shu's heart trembled.

On the opposite side, Lu Lixian's unglamorous face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, his wrinkled eyes gradually narrowed, and he seemed to remember something.

"The year when he took over the Lu family, he was only 21 years old. The Lu family was a mess at the time. He never violated his ancestral training to do real estate-related projects when it was so difficult. Pulled back from the deep waters."

After a pause, Lu Lixian stared at Liang Shu, "Do you know why?"

Liang Shu didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"Because his purpose is very simple, he only needs to use his own means to rescue Lu's family back. In fact, he is not because he has to abide by the bottom line of Lu's ancestral precepts, just because he believes that he can let Lu's go by his own means. On the right track."

"Now, he violated the ancestral motto because he felt that doing so was good for him. He felt that doing so would achieve his goals." Lu Lixian raised his brows, "A Shu, can you understand what Grandpa meant?"

There was a silence.

Soon, Liang Shu smiled, "I don't understand."

Lu Lixian shook his head, "A Shu, you understand."

Liang Shu took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, I can't do anything about this. I am not from the Lu family, and I should not be guarded by an outsider."

Lu Lixian's meaning is actually very simple.

Lu Jinsheng is now able to use various methods for a Liangshu, and as long as Liangshu can take a step towards him, many problems can be solved.

But it's not too cool.

Liang Shu went on to say, "Grandpa, I'm already married, and I will come back to see you often for your reasons in the future, but Lu Jinsheng..." She curled her lips, "If I can, I hope I never have anything to do with him."

Lu Lixian just wanted to talk when Liang Shu's phone rang.

She lowered her head and glanced, it was Shi Qing's call.

Liang Shu didn't answer, she got up, bowed respectfully to Lu Lixian, and then said, "Grandpa, my friend is still waiting for me, so I will leave."

Without waiting for Lu Lixian's reaction, she got up and walked to the door.

When she was about to walk to the door, Lu Lixian suddenly stopped her behind him: "A Shu, what if I said I didn't want you to save Jinsheng, but to save the Lu family?"

Liang Shu's eyes flashed, and she quickly turned around, "Grandpa, the Lu family I have learned about is stubborn, prosperous, and endless, and it will be the same for the Lu family in the future."

She opened the door and left.

Inside the door, Lu Lixian stared blankly in the direction where Liang Shu left, until the door was closed and there was no light from outside, and Lu Lixian slowly closed his eyes.

This old man who has been in the Lu family for dozens of years seemed to be ten years old instantly at this moment.

His face is full of wrinkles and gullies, which are the traces of time on his body.

In the past, this trace represented an experience that was unattainable by others, and it represented authority.

But now, it only represents Lu Lixian's feelings of powerlessness towards something.

The Lu family he saw with his eyes raised tall buildings and banquet guests, but in the next instant, he saw the tall building collapse with his own eyes.

This psychological gap made Lu Lixian unable to accept.

He fell to the sofa behind him in a decayed posture, with a kind of confession on his face after the dust settled.

Lu Lixian returned to Lu's house that day, but went to the hospital again at night.

In the ambulance, Lu Lixian stared at the housekeeper Yin with all his strength, and he told him to call everyone in the Lu family and the lawyer to his bed after he was sober.

...

Shi Qing went out to answer the phone and came back and didn't find Liang Shu. He called her twice, and finally waited at the bathroom door until Liang Shu came out.

Shi Qing patted his chest, and then said: "Ma'am, you can make me find it easy."

"Is Secretary Shi still busy with work?" Before she could speak, Liang Shu said again, "Let's go, please take me home, please."

On the way back, Liang Shu was not very interested.

Shi Qing was also acquainted and kept silent along the way.

There have been too many things happening recently, and it hasn’t stabilized here, and something went wrong again here.

She occasionally heard Ji Shen talk about the situation of Yushan Villa in the company.

I don't know if Liang Shu knew about this, anyway, Shi Qing didn't dare to show his feet.

...

Three days later, Liang Shu saw a big change in Lu's Xinyao Group in the news.

After the resolution of the board of directors and the appointment of personnel proposed by the lawyer Fang, Lu Jinsheng was removed from the post of CEO, and all the existing rights in Lu's rights except the shares in his hand were taken back.

And Lu Changyong stepped up to replace Lu Jinsheng.

Once this resolution takes effect, Lu Jinsheng will no longer have any relationship with the Lu family, except that he is still a shareholder.

The document becomes effective once it is issued.

This incident caused an uproar in the financial world, and everyone was in an uproar.

Shi Qing went shopping with Liang Shu again, but sighed repeatedly in the middle.

Liang Shu asked her what was going on.

Shi Qing glanced at her. He didn't want to say it, but finally didn't hold back: "I think it's a pity for Lu's President Lu. I heard that Lu Changyong was the culprit who once killed Lu's troubles. He was killed by Lu Lixian. The old man dismissed his position..."

"The young Lu Jinsheng withstood the pressure back then and opened up territory for the Lu family. He did his best, but in the end he was just making a wedding dress for others."

But Liang Shu didn't feel much about it.

It is inevitable for Lu Jinsheng to reach this point.

Lu Lixian lived a lifetime. No matter how Confucian and good his appearance is, he can sit firmly in the Lu clan for many years.

And he is nearly a hundred years old, when his generation Lu Jinsheng violated the Lu family's ancestor motto, he could not go into the coffin to see the Lu family ancestors with this shame.

Then the only way is to reluctantly abandon Lu Jinsheng.

This is the best way to preserve his etiquette.

But on the other hand, Lu Lixian knows very well that apart from Lu Jinsheng, there is no second person in the Lu family who can come out to be the leader.

After Lu Jinsheng was dismissed, Lu Changyong who came up on top was bound to be unable to stabilize Lu's foundation, and it was only a matter of time before the Lu's building fell.

Lu Lixian's only idea is to place hope on time. He is betting that as Lu Jinsheng, as the Lu family, if the Lu family is in trouble in the future, he will naturally not be able to stand by.

He was able to save the Lu family once, so he will naturally be able to save the Lu family a second and third time in the future.

"It's a pity." Shi Qing was still sighing.

But Liang Shu changed the subject, "Then, can Gu take back the lost items?"

After thinking about it for half a second, Shi Qing nodded, "If Lu quits, then this project will return to Gu's hands."

Liang Shu was in a better mood. She looked at the bright sunshine outside the French window and said, "That cold student should be happier too."

...

Gu Han was on a business trip to Wencheng for a week, and he didn't know that the Yucheng financial circle had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Lu's changes caused turmoil in the entire business community.

In order to prove that he did not need Lu Jinsheng, and to find his place in the Lu family, Lu Changyong began to exchange blood.

Many projects signed by Lu Jinsheng in the past were rejected by Lu Changyong.

Switch to investing in other new projects.

All of Lu's employees were in danger for a while.

When an employee moved his home and left Lu's, he stood under the Lu's building and looked up. Soon, he shook his head to the colleague beside him and said regretfully: "Lu's going on like this will sooner or later suffer."

The colleague didn’t even have the idea to look at Lu’s last time. He urged this person: “We’re all fired, let’s worry about ourselves first.” After all, this employee, you say to Ao, "What if Lu’s It’s closed, I must be the first to applaud."

As for Lu Jinsheng, who had left the Lu family, no one knew where he had gone.

Chen Xian called Liang Shu the night before leaving Yucheng.

Liang Shu once blocked her call, and Chen Xian called Liang Shu from a public phone booth.

"Who?" came from Liang Shu's cold voice. She really didn't know who was on the phone.

"A Shu, it's me."

Chen Xian's voice is completely audible.

There was silence, and neither side spoke.

It was Chen Xian who spoke first.

"A Shu, are you satisfied with the results now?"

Liang Shu got up from the yoga mat, took a sip of the water resting on the dressing table, and walked to the balcony while saying to the phone, "I didn't expect it, it didn't matter whether I was satisfied or dissatisfied."

Chen Xian paused for two seconds, then said, "Lu Jinsheng has disappeared."

"What do you want to say?" Liang Shu put his elbow on the cool railing and asked Chen Xian on the other end of the phone.

"No matter what you think, everything I say to you now is kind, and everything he does is for one result. If you listened to me last time, you can stop the loss in time."

Chen Xian shook her head, looking at her fuzzy face on the glass, she continued: "But you don't, A Shu, the butterfly effect has already begun, and no one can predict what will happen next."

"What you so-called stop loss in time is to let me sacrifice my marriage, even love, and even myself to make a madman?" Liang Shu sneered, "Sorry, I can't do it."

Liang Shu stared at the courtyard downstairs, looking a little further away, he could see the luxuriant platanus outside the No. 0 mansion.

Chen Xian slowly closed his eyes on the phone.

She said, "A Shu, although it is impossible, I still wish you happiness."

"Goodbye."

Chen Xian hung up.

Liang Shu stood on the balcony for several minutes, holding the phone, and finally entered the bedroom.

A black Bentley elegant parked beside the road shaded by the grove of plane trees.

The window of the cab was lowered, and in the dark night, there was a touch of scarlet gleaming in it.

The people sitting in the car looked over the high wall of Mansion Zero and stared at a balcony somewhere.

When the figure on the balcony disappeared, the Bentley elegant parked on the side of the road also started the engine. In the dark night, the car shuttled through the shade of the tree like an arrow from the string.

Bentley Yazhi drove out of the boundary of Mansion Zero.

The man in the guard booth frowned and looked at the fast-going car. He touched his companion's arm and said suspiciously, "Why don't I remember that Mr. Gu has such a car?"

"What car?" The companion looked up and followed his gaze.

But only had time to catch the shadow of a black car, he shook his head, "I didn't see anything."

...

Yu Shenzhi couldn't contact Gu Hansheng, so he went to his company and didn't even enter the door.

Later, he was told by the security guards under the Gu building that Gu Hansheng had not come to the company these days.

After tossing around, Yu Shenzhi went to Mansion Zero.

Yu Shenzhi knew that Gu Hansheng couldn't tell Liang Shu about it, so he avoided meeting Liang Shu, asked the servant about Gu Hansheng's trace, turned around and left.

As things could not be delayed, Yu Shenzhi immediately took a flight to Wencheng.

Fortunately, he was lucky later, and not long after getting off the plane, he contacted Gu Hansheng's assistant Ji Shen.

It was exactly nine o'clock in the evening.

Ji Shen is following Gu Hansheng to a party in a hotel.

Huo Qiting and Gu Hansheng are still in the hall of Yixiang Temple.

Ji Shen couldn't walk here, so he asked Yu Shenzhi to go to the hotel where they were staying and wait.

After the arrangement, Ji Shen returned to the hall.

Just as the boss and Huo Qiting were standing in a hall with intertwined human voices, the two old foxes who were walking in the mall at the same time, although they knew very well that they could not be in harmony, they both maintained the dignity of adults.

No matter how turbulent my heart is, my face is calm.

Huo Qiting, wearing a silver-gray suit and a stiff figure, shook the glass of wine in his hand. He looked around the two-by-two pairs of the hall. He tightened his thin lip, "Why didn't Mr. Gu take Mrs. Gu? Bring it? I heard that Mr. Gu has been staying in Wencheng for several days, no one is with him, and people are always lonely."

Gu Hansheng smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Isn't Mr. Huo the same?"

Huo Qiting was startled, but smiled, "How can I compare to Mr. Gu, Gu is always married and has a family, but I am unmarried."

"But Mr. Huo is not single," Gu Hansheng put one hand in his trouser pocket, and the pair of falcons looked straight at Huo Qiting, "Speaking of which, Mr. Huo is more lonely than I am. Huo moved back to Wencheng. It has been more than half a year, but I have never seen Mr. Huo's little lover once."

The word "little lover" is used very delicately.

Huo Qiting's face changed slightly.

Soon, he laughed, "Mr Gu is always the one who misses me, right?"

Gu Hansheng didn't speak.

Huo Qiting casually put the glass in his hand on the champagne table, and coldness seeped through his head down and his eyes, "Speaking of which, Mr. Gu seems to be a person who is thinking about me. My subordinate Chen Yi was caught last time. Your people are stuck in the bathroom and have a good education. I don't know why?"
