217. Trouble
Jinling, the old residence of the Lu family.
There were bursts of laughter from the small hall in the front yard, and Lu Yichen, who was passing by the flower gallery, frowned slightly, and then thought that it was Wu Junhao who came to the door in person again.
The other party is handsome and has an extraordinary status. He can become the acting head of the Wu family at a young age and control the Nuo family business. It can be said that the future is boundless.
And he took the initiative to come here this time, which is enough to show his sincerity. Presumably he is more satisfied with the marriage between Wu and Lu...
After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Yichen was inexplicably angry.
The laughter from the front yard seemed so harsh at the moment, his face sank, he clutched his briefcase under his ribs, and hurried to his own yard.
The phone buzzed and vibrated, he took it out while walking, and it was Fatty Long calling again... Lu Yichen suppressed his displeasure, and pressed the answer button.
"Young Master Lu, the opportunity has come, Chen Youcai broke his arm!"
Fatty Long's elated voice sounded from the other end of the phone, and Lu Yichen could even imagine that fat face beaming with joy at the moment.
"...Then do it more reliably. I don't want to use my relationship again to get the three of you out of the situation."
After listening to Fatty Long's brief description, Lu Yichen pondered for a while, and then agreed.
He lightly exhorted, then thought for a while, and then asked: "Where is Old Iceman Qi, who hasn't worked since he took the deposit?"
"Well... Qi Laobing probably ran away, and I don't know what he was thinking. He actually blew up a gas station in Zhangjia Town."
Fatty Long's voice was full of guilt, and he said with a sneer: "This kind of thing that succeeds more than ruins it, it's better to run away, so as not to hinder our plan..."
"Okay, let's go to work."
Suspicion flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes, then he put away his phone, and stood silently beside a clump of plantains in front of the courtyard, staring at the oily green fan leaves, thinking quickly.
When Qi Laobing ran amok in Jinling's underground world, Lu Yichen was only a teenager.
I also followed the elders in the family and took a look at Qi Laobing from a distance.
To be honest, the other party also had a good relationship with a certain uncle in the family, which can be regarded as having a slightly oblique relationship with the Lu family.
It's just that when the nationwide crackdown was launched, Qi Laobing was the person named by the big bosses in the imperial capital Longcheng to move, and no one dared to rashly take action to protect him.
More than ten years have passed, and the former reputation has long been blown away like smoke with the wind. Lu Yichen is just thinking about some old feelings, and wants to see if Qi Laobing can make a comeback.
It's a pity that things backfired. This person has been imprisoned for too long and has been decommissioned. He was able to act like a rogue who disregarded the morals of the world, took a deposit and ran away without doing anything.
"It's no different from a street hooligan..."
A little disappointed in his heart, coupled with a little irritability, the corners of Lu Yichen's mouth twitched, and his dislike for Chen Youcai also increased a little bit.
This country youth is like a copper pea that cannot be cooked or hammered. Lu Yichen's previous methods and experience have all failed on him.
But it is just such a guy who holds the secret recipe for breeding colorful chickens and ducks...
Lu Yichen had already sent someone to secretly send a colorful chicken purchased from Chenjia Village abroad for testing, but the foreigners were shocked by the result and asked to obtain breeding methods at a high price.
Of course, what Lu Yichen valued was not just the money.
What's more, I want to use this to get closer to the oil tycoons in Saudi Arabia.
Lu Yichen has had enough of the "National Wildlife Conservation and Research Bureau".
It's just a Qingshui yamen with no future, do you really think it's the end of his work?
"Brother Yi Chen, what are you looking at?"
Liu Yuanyuan, who was dressed in home clothes, came out of the yard, and followed Lu Yichen's gaze to look at the clump of plantains quite curiously.
"It's nothing, let's go back to the house and have dinner."
Lu Yichen collected all his thoughts, smiled softly at Liu Yuanyuan, then took her arm and walked into the courtyard gate.
Counting the time, Liu Yuanyuan's pregnancy is nearly two months... Lu Yichen's eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the other's lower abdomen: "Yuanyuan, if you have nothing to do in the future, try to go out as little as possible."
"Well, I listened to Brother Yi Chen... My dad also said that he planned to visit Jinling at the end of the month to see me, but I also refused."
Liu Yuanyuan leaned against Lu Yichen's shoulder, pouted and said, "Brother Yichen, according to the custom of our hometown, we are going to hold a wedding banquet at my mother's house..."
"You said it before, and I remember it. When the wedding here in Jinling is over, we will go back to your hometown and hold another wedding banquet."
The two entered the living room, and several hot dishes were already placed on the dining table in the corner.
Lu Yichen served Liu Yuanyuan's meal with his own hands, and the two sat facing each other, eating extremely sweetly.
However, no one could notice that Lu Yichen tasted every dish lightly, and the rice was barely touched.
"Brother Yichen, you eat too little, are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Yuanyuan also noticed Lu Yichen's abnormality, stopped the tableware, opened her big eyes and asked with concern.
"No, I just don't have any appetite, so take your time."
Lu Yichen smiled indulgently, stroked Liu Yuanyuan's hair, then got up and went to his study.
Passing by the bathroom at the corner, he looked around and saw that there was no one there, then went in and closed the door, then knelt down on one knee beside the toilet, and lifted the toilet lid with a sullen face.
"vomit……!"
Gritting his teeth, he inserted his finger deep into his mouth, and poked his throat hard. The extremely disgusting feeling suddenly rushed over, causing him to vomit wildly while holding the toilet.
After 3 minutes, finally vomited all the food he ate just now, Lu Yichen tidied up, stood up and looked at the mirror on the sink.
There was a pale and blue face reflected in it, with bloodshot eyes still crawling.
"..."
After a moment of silence, he rubbed his cheeks, opened the door and walked out, returned to the study with a calm face and started to deal with things.
Liu Yuanyuan's food was drugged, not to kill her... but to ensure that she could give birth to a baby boy.
The food and daily life of the Lu family are very particular. Even if each house and courtyard cooks in private, there are people who are responsible for inspection every day, in order to ensure the safety of the entire Lu family.
Lu Yichen was extremely cautious, he didn't trust others, if he wanted to put medicine in Liu Yuanyuan's food without anyone noticing, and if he wanted to give Liu Yuanyuan medicine, he had to do it himself.
Therefore, every time he had dinner, he would personally serve Liu Yuanyuan with the food, and put the medicine into the food without knowing it.
Afterwards, Lu Yichen would come to the bathroom to choke his throat to induce vomiting, even though he was teary, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Hurry up, hold on for a few more months, and when Yuanyuan gives birth to a boy, the old man will announce the successor of the patriarch..."
Sitting behind the desk in the small study, Lu Yichen was holding a cup of hot tea, looking out the window at the gradually closing night, thinking quietly.
