Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 767 - 764: As Proud as He Is, He Also Once Contemplated Death
Lu Jinyang had just finished a meeting when he received a call from Leng Yixing, and not long after, his phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID, saw it was still Leng Yixing, and felt a bit impatient.
"What else is it? Say it all at once."
On the other end of the call, sensing the change in Lu Jinyang’s tone, Leng Yixing involuntarily swallowed.
"Um, Jinyang, I just remembered something I forgot to mention."
"Speak!"
"Xiao Jiu agreed to help us retrieve that video, but, we need to give twenty million, oh no, not twenty million, seventy million." After saying this, Leng Yixing didn’t dare to breathe.
With Lu Jinyang’s intelligence, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in his words?
Indeed, it wasn’t long before Lu Jinyang spoke in a chilling tone: "I told you, only sixty million. If it weren’t for your solo decision-making, we could have saved with fifty million; I saved half for you already. Come up with the remaining ten million yourself."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yixing immediately began to wail, "Big brother, if I have to come up with ten million myself, Xin’er will slaughter me! Besides, I will soon have two kids, I can’t bear this burden!"
"I also have two children, why aren’t I overwhelmed?"
"..." You’re the CEO, how could I compare to you~
However, he could only say this in his heart.
Left with no other choice, Leng Yixing decided to voice the worst plan he had harbored: "Boss Lu, could I get an advance on this year’s end-of-year bonus?"
Lu Jinyang didn’t want to waste more words, so he said: "Go discuss it with the finance department. Also, if you’re free this afternoon, go to the hospital to pick up Gu Chen, and have a meal together."
After these words, he didn’t give Leng Yixing another chance to speak, and just hung up the phone.
Looking at the stack of documents on his desk, Lu Jinyang suddenly lost the motivation to deal with them.
He put down his pen, stood up, and walked to the window, watching the bustling traffic below, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness.
During those years he was blind, the feeling of aimlessness often accompanied him, making him constantly doubt himself whenever his mind was idle, wondering what the meaning of living like this was.
Nobody knew that he had once decided to marry a capable wife, but when he was truly ready to take action, he found he couldn’t accept any other woman by his side.
Even fewer people knew that a proud man like him had also harbored thoughts of ending everything...
Now that people are back, his life seemed to have regained its meaning, especially when he sees his two children, a constant sense of paternal responsibility reminds him, everything he does is for the kids, for her, for this family.
But now, he felt profoundly powerless.
Events happened one after another, each beyond his expectations, seeming like the direction of things was getting out of control...
...
When Xiao Qing entered his office, she instantly noticed the tall figure standing by the window. In front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, the man’s silhouette stood, and Xiao Qing thought she could see a sense of loneliness from him.
It must be her eyes playing tricks.
She walked over, wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist from behind, and softly said, "Are you done with work? Let’s go pick up Gu Chen from the hospital."
They had agreed the previous night that Xiao Qing would come over in the afternoon to accompany him to the hospital.
The man’s hands gently touched her slender hands around his waist, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let’s go~"
