Qian warned her mother not to let anything slip, but she didn't expect that she would tell Lu Yan everything in just ten minutes.
Shen Zhinian racked his brains to make up a suitable reason, but he knew that the effect was not good. After all, Lu Yan was used to hearing all kinds of lies, and it was easy to distinguish the truth from the lies in her words.
"Mr. Xiao Lu, you don't have to worry, I won't damage your reputation." After a while, Shen Zhinian had to give up deceiving him and instead promised.
"Is this related to Jingchuan?" Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Zhinian, but he was a little impressed in his heart. He was pregnant and had a car accident, but he was still so conscientious. Lu Jingchuan was really a blessing that he had cultivated in eight lifetimes.
Although it was a question, Lu Yan's tone was affirmative.
Shen Zhinian thought that the two were brothers and hurriedly swore: "This child is only related to me. I will never have anything to do with the Lu family. If Mr. Lu is worried, we can go to the notarization."
Hearing this, Lu Yan basically understood and thought for a while without saying anything.
Shen Zhinian was uneasy and wanted to take the child away directly.
It took a long time for Lu Yan to speak leisurely: "I believe Miss Shen has no other intentions. I am willing to be your shield when necessary, but I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Don't refuse my meeting for any reason." Lu Yan's eyes were sparkling.
Shen Zhinian was stunned, why was it that every time Lu Yan proposed an exchange condition, it was so... ordinary?
"Okay." She nodded and agreed.
On the day of discharge, Lu Yan came on time to help her go through the discharge procedures.
Shen Zhinian's wounds were not completely healed, and it was still difficult to walk with a limp. Lu Yan couldn't bear to lend her his shoulder.
The two helped them out of the hospital, only to see Lu Jingchuan waiting at the gate with a dark face.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here?" Shen Zhinian was slightly surprised.
After Lu Jingchuan and Lu Yan met that morning, Lu Jingchuan never showed up again. Shen Zhinian was still thinking about whether he was angry at first, but later simply turned a blind eye.
"Get in the car." Lu Jingchuan said nothing and sat directly on his seat.
Lu Yan didn't stop her, he just helped put the things in the trunk, opened the back seat door for her, carefully put her into the back seat, and said helplessly: "Jingchuan, Miss Shen is recovering from a serious injury at least, you can Are you so anxious to get her back to work?"
"Lu Yan, don't tell me what to do." Lu Jingchuan didn't look good. He stared at Lu Yan and closed the door before stepping on the accelerator, leaving Lu Yan behind.
Shen Zhinian held on to his injured leg and looked at the tall buildings passing by quickly outside the car window without saying a word.
Lu Jingchuan saw her wandering in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that you have forgotten your roots and don't want to go to work?"
"No, isn't Miss Gu helping you? It doesn't matter whether I go back or not." Shen Zhinian replied lightly without moving her expression.
The police later came to see her and criminally detained the person who intentionally caused the accident, but they did not interrogate who instigated it. The perpetrator insisted that he was drunk and retaliating against society.
Because no one died, the death penalty cannot be imposed.
This matter can only end here.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhinian's expression became tense. If Lu Jingchuan wanted to investigate, how could he not carry out the investigation?
"Gu Yuan'an is no longer in the company." Lu Jingchuan suddenly said calmly.
Shen Zhinian was stunned, and his eyes shifted from the traffic outside the car window to Lu Jingchuan's face in the rearview mirror: "Didn't you say that Miss Gu is here to cooperate with the Gu family?"
"There are so many people in the Gu family, there's no need for her to come." Lu Jingchuan explained unhappily, speaking quite impatiently.
A lot of things must have happened in the past half month. Gu Yuanan probably did something to offend Lu Jingchuan and was driven away.
Shen Zhinian responded lightly, looking away, but the dark clouds above his head dissipated a little, and joy and clarity filled his heart.
When she arrived at the company, Shen Zhinian pushed open the door and dragged her injured leg out with difficulty. Every time she moved, the wound hurt sharply. She secretly gritted her teeth and endured it.
While she was struggling, there was a sudden light on her body. Lu Jingchuan came around at some point, picked her up and walked towards the company without any explanation.
Shen Zhinian's eyes widened in shock, and he struggled on his hands and feet: "Mr. Lu, put me down, this is the company."
If her colleagues saw her, where would she put her face?
"It's not the first time." Lu Jingchuan looked indifferent and walked into the elevator holding Shen Zhinian tightly in front of everyone, without squinting or changing his expression the whole time.
It seems to be commonplace.
The front desk and employees on the first floor were shocked and silent for a second, and then they all gathered together when the elevator closed.
"I just said that Mr. Lu will not let Miss Gu leave without any reason. Secretary Shen's accident is probably related to Miss Gu."
"You don't want your life to make such a guess"
"But Mr. Lu is really nice to Secretary Shen..."
While Shen Zhinian was busy being embarrassed, rumors spread like wildfire.
Even if she was absent for half a month, her work station was still spotless, and she even had a summary of her daily work during her absence.
After sitting down, Shen Zhinian quickly focused on his work. He first browsed through the work content of the past half month in the shortest possible time, and then checked the future work requirements.
When she saw a certain item, she was stunned.
"Mr. Lu, why does the design competition include my name?" The company will send designers as representatives to participate in the design competition at the end of the year, and her name is clearly listed.
Lu Jingchuan didn't care much and answered casually: "Designer Liang recommended you. She said she has confidence in you."
Shen Zhinian stared blankly at his name in a row with other outstanding designers, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.
Sensing her silence, Lu Jingchuan raised his head and asked, "You don't want to go?"
"Go." Shen Zhinian responded quickly.
Regardless of whether you win or not, it is still an opportunity.
After sorting out all the work, Shen Zhinian narrowed his eyes and thought, carefully choosing his words to ask: "Mr. Lu, were these sorted out by Miss Gu? Since she works so well, why do you want to get rid of her?"
It's so weird.
Gu Yuan'an was in the limelight before she was hospitalized, and with Mrs. Lu's support, she should be doing well in the company now. How could she suddenly become silent?
"Mrs. Lu's side..."
Lu Jingchuan interrupted her expressionlessly: "Are you doing things for me or for my mother? Why are you so concerned about Gu Yuan'an? Have you forgotten who indirectly sent you to the hospital?"
He seemed to dislike hearing Gu Yuan'an's name from Shen Zhinian's mouth.
"I understand." Shen Zhinian pursed her lips and stopped talking about this topic, and asked instead: "There is a business trip to Linshi tomorrow, who will be arranged to go with you?"
"you."
"Huh? But my legs haven't healed yet, so I'm afraid it will slow down your progress."
"You come with me and book a room." Lu Jingchuan put away the documents and ordered meaningfully.
