Chapter 185 Lu Xingchen, You Like Me
Li Zhen was afraid that Lu Xingchen would be embarrassed and wanted to avoid her, but then he thought that maybe he knew everything, so she would not avoid him everywhere, so he chose to stand in front of the door without moving.
Lu Xingchen opened the door and saw Li Zhen standing in front of it. The tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't hold them back. She stared at him with wide eyes, but the tears still fell.
How much did this person hear?!
But...it doesn't matter how much he heard. He must have known almost everything since he appeared here.
Lu Xingchen didn't even say a word, just walked around him and continued walking forward.
Li Zhen turned around and grabbed her.
As soon as his hand touched her wrist, Lu Xingchen shook it away. Li Zhen tried to grab it again, but Lu Xingchen suddenly became ruthless and grabbed his arm and pushed him against the wall.
Li Zhen subconsciously wanted to use more force, but seeing her stubborn expression, he gave up resisting and let her push him, his back leaning heavily against the wall.
Lu Xingchen stood in front of him, ignoring the remaining tears on her face, holding his arm with one hand and pressing hard on his collarbone with the other hand to push him against the wall. She looked at him with bloodshot eyes and asked through gritted teeth: "Do you still want me to make an offer? Do you still want to buy me? How much can you offer me?!"
Li Zhen wanted to reach out and hug her, but it felt like she would break in his arms. He just looked at her and replied, "I'll buy it, no matter what price you offer."
Unexpectedly, he would answer like this. Lu Xingchen opened his mouth again and again, and finally asked with a sneer, "Are you willing to sacrifice Zhencheng?"
"If I must pay for it, then I will do it at all costs, but I will not let Zhencheng pay for it."
Lu Xingchen curled his lips because of the latter sentence, "Why, you're afraid of losing before it even starts?"
Li Zhen: "Yes, I can't afford to lose."
Therefore, it is only natural for people to avoid her when seeing her like this. At the beginning, the Cao family just thought that she was an undisciplined mistress and avoided her as much as possible. That was the choice of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
Li Zhen might be able to handle it better than the Cao family, but as an outsider who is not Lu Dingsheng's daughter but lived in the Lu family for 19 years before being discovered, what way can she get out of the Lu family? If she doesn't want to become the enemy of the Lu family, she will definitely choose to stay away from her.
Lu Xingchen understood the Cao family, and also understood Li Zhen, but although he was relieved, Ke Xin still sighed, "If you can't afford to lose, stay away from me."
The moment her hand left his body, Li Zhen held it tightly against his chest. He said, "It's not that I can't afford to lose Zhencheng, but if I want to buy it, I have to lose all of Zhencheng, which will make you not even have the courage to trust me as a buyer."
Lu Xingchen's expression changed slightly as he thought of what he had just said to Lu Wenli in the ward.
"Not only do you want to drain my blood, you've also made me lose the courage to like others..."
Realizing that she had been seen through, she subconsciously pulled her hand back.
But he pressed harder, lowered his head to catch her gaze and whispered, "Will you sell yourself to me?"
Feeling the steady and powerful heartbeat in his palm, and the warmth from his chest coming through the thin fabric of his shirt, Lu Xingchen pulled his hand away again.
Li Zhen changed his pressure to holding her hand. The more she struggled, the tighter he held her hand. "Why? Are you afraid of losing to me?"
He leaned close to her ear and said, "Your body has long been mine. Are you afraid of losing your heart now?"
Lu Xingchen turned his head to look at him angrily.
Li Zhen immediately caught her gaze and continued, "Lu Xingchen, you like me."
"You think too much." Lu Xingchen struggled again but was still held tightly by him. She frowned and said, "Let go!"
"If you don't like me, why don't you dare sell yourself to me?" Li Zhen asked back.
Although she asked him to buy it first today, he kept talking about sales, which really annoyed her. Perhaps she was annoyed not only because of the words she used but also because she was seen through. Lu Xingchen looked at him coldly and said, "Since you want to sell it, of course you have to compare prices from three different stores. What if other stores offer a higher price?"
Chu Zeyan immediately appeared in Li Zhen's mind, his face obviously gloomier, "Then let me show you my sincerity first. I can make sure you don't have to pay back the 80 million, and I can also make sure Lu Wenli doesn't bother your mother and you anymore."
Lu Xingchen was stunned, then opened his eyes slightly and looked at him, wondering what he wanted to do.
Li Zhen: "Don't worry, I'm just a businessman. Murder and arson are not my business scope for the time being. And since it's a business deal, and you still want to compare prices from different stores, I won't just return the 80 million without thinking. I won't take unnecessary risks. After all, I'm just a businessman."
Lu Xingchen observed his expression quietly for a moment, "Since this is a business deal, you are doing me such a big favor, what do you want to get from me?"
Li Zhen raised his eyelids and looked at her. When Lu Xingchen suddenly frowned and was about to speak, he said first, "Based on this list, I dare not ask you for it. After all, you still need to compare prices from three different stores."
It seemed that he was very bothered by her words about shopping around. Lu Xingchen pretended not to hear that he was being sarcastic and just asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Li Zhen: "I can only tell you now that what I want you to do has nothing to do with your personal life, but it requires you to pay commercial interests."
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment, "You just heard it, I am not Lu Dingsheng's daughter."
"Whose daughter you are is none of my business."
"So what exactly do you want me to do?"
"Why, now that she's not Lu Dingsheng's daughter, you don't even dare to take this little unknown risk? Then who was the one I knew before, Lu Dingsheng's daughter, or you, Lu Xingchen?"
She knew he was trying to provoke her, but his harsh words still succeeded in angering her. "I don't care who you know, but compared to what benefits you want to get from me, I want to see how you deal with Lu Wenli."
"Heh." Li Zhen laughed softly, as if he didn't take Lu Wenli seriously, and seemed proud of having successfully persuaded her, "So, do you agree?"
Although he was annoyed by his scheming appearance, Lu Xingchen still replied: "Yes, I agree."
Li Zhen's mouth corners curved again.
Lu Xingchen felt it was glaring. Ever since this man said that he would no longer look at her expression, and clearly out of her control, she looked at him coldly and said, "Can you let go?"
Hearing this, Li Zhen lowered his eyes to look at the little hand he held on his chest, raised his long eyelashes to look at her, and then slowly lifted her hand to his lips...
"Mad man!" Lu Xingchen pulled his hand back.
In other words, he just stopped trying. Li Zhen opened his empty hand and looked at it indifferently, then looked at him and asked, "Were you so timid before?"
"I didn't know you were so shameless before."
"Where is this?"
Seeing that he was not interested, Lu Xingchen was too lazy to talk anymore. She looked at him coldly and turned away. After taking two steps, she stopped and looked back at him. "Lu Wenli's matter may be related to the Lu family. You'd better weigh the profit of this deal before deciding whether to make a deal with me."
Li Zhen looked at her expressionlessly: "Are you worried about me?"
"..." Lu Xingchen replied expressionlessly, "I'm worried that you'll make my situation more difficult, so think it over before you do it."
Li Zhen said to her again: "You are worried about me."
This time it was a statement. Lu Xingchen's expression darkened. This man was not making sense, so there was no need to say anything more. She turned around and left silently.
