CH 60
Chapter 60: In the Eye of the Beholder
The weather has gotten colder these days, and you could see white fog floating in the air when you got up in the morning.
Chang Qing didn’t dare to hold on, so he added a v-neck sweater underneath his jacket. But when he rode his electric scooter, the cold wind still penetrated into his clothes.
Lu Zheng noticed it, and asked him to take Ah-Jian’s car tomorrow. Ah-Jian sent Lu Hua to school. It was in the same direction as Chang Qing, but there was a fork in the middle.
Chang Qing didn’t refuse either. It wasn’t hot in the morning during summertime, and it was comfortable to go out early in the cold wind. But now that the weather was cold, it was a bit unwise to ride an electric scooter, so Chang Qing agreed.
It’s just that when he said “Okay”, he noticed that Lu Zheng’s expression was a little weird. He was a little curious, and asked Lu Zheng, “Why are you making that expression?”
Lu Zheng said calmly “Don’t be led astray by Lu Hua.”
Chang Qing was full of question marks, “What do you mean?”
Lu Zheng paused, “Its nothing.”
Seeing that he didn’t say anything else, Chang Qing didn’t ask.
He couldn’t take Lu Hua’s car today. She was in junior high school, and she had to get up at nearly six o’clock. She had to get to school before six-fifty. As for Chang Qing, this social animal, he rode an electric scooter for about half an hour. Putting it all together it was possible to leave around eight o’clock, so the time would be different.
Since he couldn’t ride in Lu Hua’s car, he could only ride in Lu Zheng’s car. However, the two of them were heading in different directions. Lu Zheng’s expression was calm and confident. “I’m the boss. It’s fine to be an hour late.”
So Chang Qing righteously caught a free ride with him.
Chang Qing sat in the back seat, Lu Zheng reminded him subconsciously, “Fasten your seat belt.”
Chang Qing also fastened it obediently.
Lu Zheng’s driver was still Shang Shu. The servants, chauffeurs, and gardeners of the Lu family lived in another housing area, not far from the villa where Chang Qing and the others lived. However, Chang Qing didn’t go out much except for going to the gym, so he didn’t see him much. The first time he saw him again today, he felt he was much calmer, and even less talkative.
Chang Qing took out his mobile phone and looked at the work group. The group was gossiping about a star’s extramarital affairs. Chang Qing was very unfamiliar with this celebrity, and he lost interest after watching it for a while.
On the other hand, Lu Zheng looked at the phone in his hand from time to time, as if he cared about what he was doing.
Chang Qing noticed his gaze and looked up. Lu Zheng didn’t avoid it, and asked him frankly, “What are you looking at?”
Chang Qing raised his phone to him, “Looking at gossip.”
Lu Zheng: “What gossip?”
Seeing that he was interested, Chang Qing said, “It’s just celebrity gossip. I heard that this actor named Chen Dongyuan married a veteran actress wife. They had been a loving couple for more than ten years, but now it’s been revealed that this male star cheated on her with Xiao Hua, and that Xiao Hua seems to be pregnant.”
Lu Zheng frowned, “What a mess.”
Seeing the disgust between his brows, Chang Qing couldn’t help laughing, and said lightly: “Relationships in the entertainment industry rarely last from beginning to end. No matter how loving a couple seems to be, who knows whether they are mutually respectful or estranged in private.”
Shang Shu had been listening to them, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but interject, “It’s not just the entertainment industry, but all of society is like this. They’re too fickle, and there are too many temptations. Men think with two brains, so it’s hard to stick to their true heart. Don’t look at me as a rough and dull person. The little girls chasing me can be lined up from the east to the west.”
He said, then added, “I’m still married!”
Chang Qing was a little surprised, but he felt it was right. Shang Shu didn’t look like a bachelor; his physical fitness and appearance were all good. At such an age, he should have gotten married a long time ago.
He smiled and asked, “So you’re not tempted?”
Shang Shu said: “To be honest, I have been tempted, but I love my wife very much. So even if I’m tempted it can’t be done. I would never touch them.”
They were all men, and some words could only be said to those who were also men. Shang Shu was quite emotional, “I’m just an old man. Those eighteen and twenty-something girls, smiling at me. Recruiting people is recruiting people and it’s impossible not to be moved, but some bottom lines can’t be touched. After all, if there is a first time, there will be countless other times.”
Chang Qing asked curiously, “How many years have you and your wife been married?”
Shang Shu said, “It’s been ten years. She is ten years younger than me. When she was only 20 years old, still a delicate and tender little girl. It’s been exactly ten years since she ran after me.”
When he said these words, there was a soft smile in his tone, a kind of iron man tenderness.
Chang Qing sighed and said, “Then you and your wife have been together for a long time.”
Shang Shu said embarrassedly, “I claim to love my wife very much, but in the face of those temptations, I was moved. I still feel that I’m not a good person. At this age, I’ve also thought it through. Men, ah, have a difference from women. They still use their lower body to think. At that moment, they’re not clear-headed. It’s easy to do the wrong thing on impulse.”
Shang Shu rambled on: “But there must be a red line. You must understand what you can and can’t do. Once you cross this line, there will be no turning back.”
Chang Qing smiled and said, “This is only a part of the population. However, the entertainment industry is really a bit chaotic. After all, those who work in the entertainment industry are good-looking and attractive. The visual temptation is great.”
Lu Zheng never knew when he fell silent. This topic is sensitive, it was as if the words that Shang Shu said were knocking at his heart.
Shang Shu agreed: “That’s true. There are many handsome men and beautiful women, and people are fickle-minded. It’s in the entertainment news every day. Today, this couple broke up, tomorrow, they’ll get together with that one, and then they’ll break up again. There are only a few pairs that can last for a long time, and I can count them on one hand.”
Chang Qing discussed a little more with him until Lu Zheng coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation.
Chang Qing stopped, looked at Lu Zheng’s face, and asked with concern, “Have you caught a cold?”
Lu Zheng replied, “No.”
Shang Shu glanced at the rear-view mirror and said, “I have a Golden Throat Lozenge1 here. Would you like one?”
u Zheng refused, “No need.”
Shang Shu remembered something else and said to Lu Zheng, “President Lu, that’s right, isn’t it autumn? I was wondering if I could bring my wife to live over here? My wife is afraid of the cold, so she can’t sleep if I don’t warm her feet at night.”
Lu Zheng’s teeth were sour, but there was no way he could disagree, “Feel free.”
Shang Shu grinned, “Okay, President. Lu, you’re so kind.”
Chang Qing listened to him and was fascinated. After a while, he said, “You really love your wife a lot.”
Shang Shu said embarrassedly, “That’s not it. I still feel like I’ve wronged my wife, married to a stinky man with no determination like me.”
Chang Qing whispered: “That’s not necessarily true, it can only be said that you’re an ordinary person, right?”
Lu Zheng said unhappily: “There’s no temptation around me.”
Chang Qing listened, stunned. Then, he laughed, “That’s because you’re blind.”
Lu Zheng: “…”
Lu Zheng looked at him with a bit of bewilderment, “Okay, what are you scolding me for?”
Chang Qing curled his lips, and said, “Isn’t it true? There are many girls around you. It’s you who can’t see them.”
It was written in the original book that Lu Zheng was an arrogant person. Even if a beautiful woman stood in front of him, he was so inattentive that he couldn’t see her at all. It was estimated that in the end he wouldn’t even notice what the other person looked like.
Lu Zheng was a little stunned. After a while, he asked, “You know? How do you know?”
Chang Qing said, “I guessed.”
Who believed that? Lu Zheng looked at him doubtfully and said slowly, “That’s not true.”
Chang Qing: “Where isn’t it true?”
Lu Zheng said strangely: “…Forget it. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Chang Qing felt that Lu Zheng’s temperament had become weird the last few days. When he spoke his words seemed to be half said and half hidden. It made people confused.
Chang Qing said, “If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it.”
After a pause, he asked him, “Do you remember Lin Yifeng?”
Lu Zheng absently asked, “Who?”
Chang Qing repeated, “Lin Yifeng, the boy who I showed you the other day, he’s the same age as you.”
Lu Zheng remembered, and he glanced at Chang Qing, “What did you say he did?”
Chang Qing asked, “When you saw him, did you find him particularly eye catching?”
Lu Zheng: “…that little white face2, what’s so good about ‘eye-catching’? You should chase after a better star. He’s so small, I could break him with a single punch.”
Chang Qing: ” …”
No, why are you punching him?
With some subtle thoughts, Lu Zheng said coldly and critically, “He’s only got a face to look at. He’s short, he’s thin, he speaks in a weak voice. Who’s going to bully him? You can’t like him. Lu Hua likes this one, too. If she brings me a little white faced chicken brother-in-law, I’ll die of anger.”
Chang Qing: “…His style is a ‘gentleman, cutting and grinding stone and polishing jade.3’ He is a typical gentle and elegant big boy. He’s highly educated. He has a degree in history department from S University. He’s not a little white face.”
Lu Zheng saw that he had already become a real fan and was even speaking for Lin Yifeng. He furrowed his eyebrows and said in a light voice: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
What he said was even weirder. Chang Qing always felt that something was wrong. He looked at Lu Zheng, who noticed that he had turned his head and turned to look at him. Their eyes met briefly. Lu Zheng looked away first, and said in a light tone, “What are you looking at me for, did I say something wrong?”
Chang Qing silently glanced at Lu Zheng’s profile. Lu Zheng’s appearance was actually a bit unruly and intense. His eyes were long and narrow. When he narrowed his eyes, there was a sharp edge that made people uneasy. The eyebrow bone was high, and gave a cold and sharp feeling like a knife coming out of its scabbard. His eyebrow bone was high, and gave a cold and sharp feeling like a knife coming out of its scabbard, so from the point of view of his face, he wasn’t a good person to deal with.
But Chang Qing has been with him for a long time, and he knows that he just has a bad mouth and wasn’t very difficult to get along with.
Only now, Chang Qing felt that Lu Zheng’s words were paradoxical, with a little sarcasm, which was very unusual.
Chang Qing looked at him for a long time, saw Lu Zheng glance at him impatiently, and asked him again, before answering slowly, “You … you’re right. “
Lu Zheng glanced at him but said nothing.
He just thought silently in his heart that he wanted to talk to Qiao Zhenran, and tell him not to dig up that man named Lin Yifeng. If he did, Chang Qing mustn’t go to see him every day.
The weather has gotten colder these days, and you could see white fog floating in the air when you got up in the morning.
Chang Qing didn’t dare to hold on, so he added a v-neck sweater underneath his jacket. But when he rode his electric scooter, the cold wind still penetrated into his clothes.
