C176 It Was the past with Her

What's with your education and looks? Qiao Yumeng could not believe what she heard. This kind of lowly person, to be able to marry a wife, it was all because of him burning incense in his previous life.

Seeing that Qiao Yumeng did not say anything, her aunt looked at Lu Chen again, "Lu Chen, I heard that your Lu's Group is very big, then it should be very easy to arrange a job for your cousin, right?" As if afraid that Lu Chen would refuse, she continued to add, "Look, since you want to recruit people anyway, why don't you find your own people? They are reliable."

"I will keep an eye out." Lu Chen nodded.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, his aunt finally broke into a smile. She wanted to toast Lu Chen with a glass of wine.

"He still has to drive later. He can't drink." Qiao Yumeng had never stopped Lu Chen, but when she thought of Yinn Mingzhu saying that Lu Chen's stomach was not good, she subconsciously wanted to stop him.

"Just one cup, it's fine." Sure enough, she had never seen the world before. Her aunt forcefully pushed the wine in front of Lu Chen.

Qiao Yumeng looked at her aunt for a few seconds and directly reached out to take the cup. She raised her head and dried it.

This wine was bitter and spicy. Qiao Yumeng almost choked on it. Only when she pulled Lu Chen away did she raise her hand to rub her throat.

"Actually, I didn't intend to drink it." Lu Chen looked at Qiao Yumeng's red face.

"Then why didn't you refuse?" Qiao Yumeng rubbed her throat again. She bought a bottle of water from the village store and drank it. Only then did her throat feel much better.

She had achieved her goal. Aunt and Qiao Yumeng and Lu Chen did not have any intention of visiting Old Master Qin's tomb. That was why the two of them went there by themselves.

At first, Qiao Yumeng thought that her aunt was lying to her. When they arrived at the tomb, she saw that even the poplar tree that had been planted for several years had died. Old Master Qin's tombstone had also been chiseled into several holes. Only then did she realize that this matter was not simple.

"I will get someone to repair it."

"Yes, thank you." Qiao Yumeng looked at Lu Chen.

They didn't talk much after that, so they were still very unfamiliar with each other.

Qiao Yumeng always felt that she was not a generous person, especially Yinn Mingzhu's appearance. It made her feel that her stinginess had reached an unprecedented level.

When she returned to Nancheng, it was almost ten o'clock at night. Lu Chen sent Qiao Yumeng to the entrance of the district and said, "Don't worry about what happened today. I will take care of it."

What happened today? He had already told her about the tomb of Old Master Qin. That was the matter of her aunt's house.

"Are you really going to arrange work for that person?" Qiao Yumeng really could not say the word 'cousin'.

"Actually, it's just like what aunt said. The Lu's Group is so big and they have to recruit people anyway. Why not leave the opportunity for our own people?"

"Our own people?" Qiao Yumeng could not help but sneer. Their family could be counted as one of their own?

"Some relatives are not good, but there is no way to get rid of them, because blood ties are the best connection to them." Lu Chen reached out and held Qiao Yumeng's shoulder. "Don't take everything on your own. You have to remember that you still have me."

And him? Before Yinn Mingzhu came back, she had indeed thought so.

"Where are you going later?" Qiao Yumeng directly exposed Lu Chen.

Lu Chen paused and smiled. "You want to invite me to come home with you for the night?"

Lu Chen had never said such indulgent words before.

"Do you still need to spend the night with me?"

"What else?" Lu Chen smiled and asked her, "Do you think I can find Yinn Mingzhu?"

Yinn Mingzhu was like a thorn in Qiao Yumeng's heart. She would feel uncomfortable if she was mentioned.

"Who knows?" After Qiao Yumeng finished speaking, she was about to leave.

Lu Chen grabbed Qiao Yumeng's hand and explained, "She is pregnant. The child is not mine."2

"So?" Qiao Yumeng looked at Lu Chen. She wanted to ask if Lu Chen wanted her to be a cheap father, but didn't she also want Lu Chen to be a cheap father? She couldn't say those questions.

"That person lied to her. She had no choice but to come to me." Lu Chen held Qiao Yumeng in his arms, ignoring her struggles. "I owed her a lot in the past. Now I want to make it up to her."

"Just marry her home." Qiao Yumeng struggled free from Lu Chen's embrace. "Lu Chen, if the person you love is actually Yinn Mingzhu, then don't provoke me."

"She and I are already in the past." Lu Chen reached out to grab Qiao Yumeng's hand, appearing very patient.

One sentence, it made Qiao Yumeng's heart that should have been broken, actually give birth to hope again.

"Really. Since I have decided to be with you, I will not change my mind." Lu Chen lifted his hand and held Qiao Yumeng in his arms. This time Qiao Yumeng did not refuse.

"When you are hugging her, I feel very uncomfortable." Qiao Yumeng buried her face in Lu Chen's embrace. For the first time, she revealed her true feelings in front of him.

"I'm sorry." Lu Chen apologized in a low voice.

This apology slowly melted away all the discomfort in Qiao Yumeng's heart. In the end, she was only tired of sleeping. She yawned and said, "I'm going back to sleep."

"Tonight, accompany me." As Lu Chen said that, he lifted Qiao Yumeng's chin and kissed her lips.

It was a simple sentence, but it was too suggestive. Qiao Yumeng subconsciously shrank back. Lu Chen reached out to hold her hand and said, "Just stay with me for the night and do nothing. Come to work with me tomorrow morning."

"Why?" Qiao Yumeng looked at him in a daze.

"Because work is too boring. I want you to go with me." Lu Chen said as he reached out to help Qiao Yumeng fasten her seatbelt and started the car.

They went to the villa he lived in, but they did not live in the same room.

After Qiao Yumeng laid down, she looked at the thick and white wall beside her. She could not help but think that Lu Chen must be calling Yinn Mingzhu to explain why he did not send the things to her at this time.

"Boring." Qiao Yumeng muttered softly and raised her hand to rub her face.

In fact, after calming down, she felt that she was too bisexual.

When she saw Fu Qianchen, wasn't she also unable to make herself feel as calm as water? What right did she have to criticize Lu Chen?

In fact, it was only a matter of a moment for her to think about such things. After she thought about it, she didn't really care about it anymore.

Without a dream, Qiao Yumeng woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. After washing up, she went out and found that Lu Chen had already prepared breakfast.

It was a simple porridge dish, but it was delicious and exquisite.

Lu Chen actually knew how to cook. It was out of Qiao Yumeng's expectations. Fu Qianchen never did things like cooking himself. It made her think that men with money and power did not know how to cook.

Thinking about how she subconsciously compared Lu Chen with Fu Qianchen, Qiao Yumeng shook her head helplessly. She just happened to see Lu Chen come out with a bowl.

"Come to work with me after dinner."

"Why?" Qiao Yumeng actually did not want to go. The last time she opened the door and saw Chris, she had not forgotten.

"Of course to announce your CEO's wife's identity."
