Lu Ming woke up from a nightmare. The light in the room was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes. He never turns off the lights when sleeping because he is afraid of the dark environment.
The mobile phone on the bedside was vibrating. Lu Ming had no time to look at it, but got up and opened the curtains. The sky was gray and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
He took a shower and went downstairs, but he didn't see his parents or Lu Zhenzhen. When she was at home, the noise was annoying, but now the house was eerily quiet.
Lu Ming frowned, always feeling that time passed too slowly, so slowly that it made people mad. The person sent to look for Lu Zhenzhen did not respond, but the moneylender kept asking him to meet.
I was very hungry, but I couldn't taste anything. Everything tasted dry, like chewing coarse grain biscuits.
Lu Ming looked up at the mirror not far away and found that his face was very pale and his eye sockets were sunken. He knew at a glance that he had not slept well.
"Sister, help me." He took the initiative to call Lu Zhiping.
"Has the sun risen from the west? You actually asked me for help?" Lu Zhiping laughed sarcastically.
She knew very well that it was her father who hid Zhen Zhen, and presumably Lu Ming also knew it, otherwise how could he not have any clues?
However, Lu Ming's fragile look was so rare that Lu Zhiping decided to take revenge. Over the years, every time Lu Ming got into trouble, it was her who had to clean up the mess. It was very tiring, okay!
"Help me, I can't find where Lu Zhenzhen is?"
"You don't want to recognize her, why bother finding her?"
"I didn't deny her..."
"Forget it, remember to attend the company's annual meeting in the afternoon."
Lu Zhiping sighed. After all, he was his only younger brother, so he should help if he could. He couldn't watch him work blindly.
It's a pity that Lu Ming didn't understand her hint. What annual meeting are you going to at this time? He never attends the Lu Group's annual meetings!
Lu Zhiping did not explain, but hung up the phone decisively.
Lu Ming hesitated for a long time, but finally changed his clothes and went to the hotel. Although he knew very well that he was not a good person, if he didn't have his parents as a backer, he would have been thrown into the sea long ago.
But it was this month that I deeply realized the gap between myself and the old man. He was like a monkey trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain, unable to find his way out of Tathagata's palm.
If the old man wanted, he could make it impossible for him to find Lu Zhenzhen for the rest of his life. Money, power, connections, he has none of it!
The smell of various perfumes mixed in the hall makes people feel sick. Lu Ming frowned and wanted to leave, but someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Lu Ming? You think so much."
"Yeah, I remember you were this tall last time we met."
"Are you here to see Mr. Xiaolu? She is on the third floor."
Soon someone recognized Lu Ming and chatted with him pretending to be familiar, even though he didn't know anyone!
In the past, when faced with this kind of situation, he would definitely have cursed without hesitation, but now he couldn't. If he wasn't Lu Ming, he might not even be able to get in, let alone curse.
"Sorry, I have something else to do." After Lu Ming said that, he left with a cold face. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon began to laugh and talk to Yan Yan again.
At this time, Zhen Zhen had just finished styling.
Whether Mrs. Lu is attending a cocktail party or traveling, she has a dedicated styling team to serve her. From hairstyle to clothing and accessories, everything is carefully matched to ensure perfection.
The hotel is well heated, and Mrs. Lu is wearing a cheongsam and coat, looking elegant and noble.
"Grandma is so beautiful!" After Mrs. Lu finished styling, Zhen Zhen immediately gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Zhen Zhen is also beautiful." Mrs. Lu smiled and led her granddaughter downstairs.
The annual meeting was held in the hotel's banquet hall. There was a signature wall at the door, and all the participants ran to take photos.
The annual meeting officially started at five o'clock. Zhen Zhen sat in the front row with Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu. The two hosts on the stage were impassioned.
She was not interested in performances or leadership speeches, and was happily waiting for the draw. I heard that the cash can be up to 66,000, and the gifts are quite diverse, including mobile phones, computers, sports equipment, shopping cards, etc.
Zhen Zhen waited and waited, even going to the toilet three times, and finally heard the host announcing that the lottery had started!
The seat numbers kept scrolling on the big screen. Everyone was staring intently, and Zhen Zhen even squeezed the number plate in her hand.
There were three first prizes and 66,000 in cash. Lu Zhiping personally distributed the rewards, making Zhen Zhen drool with envy.
There are ten second prizes and 18,000 in cash. The rewards will be distributed by other executives, but she is still not included.
Third prize, fourth prize...
After the cash prizes were distributed, Zhen Zhen looked at the numbers in her hand and was disappointed. She really had no chance of winning!
"Next is the lucky prize..." The host pointed to the pile of gift boxes, Zhen Zhen's heart was pounding as she looked at them.
"Lucky prize No. 8, the latest mobile phone!"
"Grandma, I am No. 8!" Zhen Zhen looked at the number plate in her hand and was extremely surprised. I’ve bought ice cream, drinks, and scratch tickets before, but I’ve never won again!
"Like mobile phones so much?" Mrs. Lu didn't expect her to be so happy. Mr. Lu also said that if he liked it, he would go back and buy more.
"No, I like the feeling of winning!" Zhen Zhen waved the number plate she won, and then ran up to the stage to receive the award.
The host saw her sitting next to Mrs. Lu and knew that she was Lu Ming's daughter, so he hurriedly left her behind.
"Kid, what's your name?"
"Lu Zhenzhen!"
Lu Ming was blowing in the wind on the balcony when he suddenly heard the three words "Lu Zhenzhen" and hurriedly rushed into the banquet hall. I saw the little girl on the stage wearing a red dress and smiling like a flower.
"Who are you coming with today?" the host continued to ask.
"Grandpa and grandma." Zhen Zhen replied sweetly.
She had a cute smile, with curved eyebrows and shallow pear cheeks, and others couldn't help but laugh too.
Lu Ming suddenly remembered the last time they spoke. At that time, her voice was very nasal, her mouth was smiling, but her eyes were crying. It seemed that she had never smiled so happily when she was around him.
"ha."
Lu Ming felt tight in his chest. Since he was nine years old, he had closed his heart and not allowed anyone to enter. But at this moment, looking at Lu Zhenzhen's smile, I felt extremely sad, and tears flowed out unknowingly.
Ah, the tears after fourteen years are so ridiculous.
Zhen Zhen didn't know that Lu Ming was coming, so she walked off the stage happily holding her cell phone. Mrs. Lu praised her for her great performance.
Lu Ming wanted to walk to them, but he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the person next to him helped him.
For the first time in my life, I felt exhausted due to excitement. Unknowingly, Lu Zhenzhen had become so important to him.
The lottery is over and it’s time for the cocktail party.
Zhen Zhen was sleepy, so Mrs. Lu asked Mother Wu to send her back to rest.
As soon as she walked out of the banquet hall, Zhen Zhen saw Lu Ming's figure. She didn't say hello but passed by like a stranger.
Lu Ming looked at her small figure without saying a word, but followed her silently. My heart was beating so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my ribs.
He wanted to hug her and tell her that his father was wrong, but he didn't dare because he was afraid that she would run away again.
The elevator came to the parking lot on the second floor, and Zhen Zhen got on the car calmly without even giving Lu Ming a look. Wu Ma and Liu Ma looked awkward, not knowing how to ease the relationship between father and daughter.
"Aren't you going to get in the car?"
After a while, Lu Ming heard a childish voice, so he cautiously got into the car.
To be honest, when Zhen Zhen learned that Lu Ming did not transfer the debt to Xia Chuyun, she knew that she had made the right bet!
