Chapter 265 Li Zhen is my boyfriend
Lu Xingchen's company was bidding for a national recruitment project, and Zhencheng Company was one of her competitors. The project leader of Zhencheng was Chen Xiaolin. Lu Xingchen knew this, but she didn't expect that she would complain to Chen Shufen about it.
In Lu Xingchen's view, whether it is Zhencheng Company or Huiguang, it is just regular business competition, and she doesn't care who the project leader is. The business world is like a battlefield, and victory and defeat are commonplace.
Lu Xingchen looked at Chen Shufen for a moment, "Why would Xiaolin think that?"
Chen Shufen was also embarrassed and said, "From what she said, you know that she thinks that I, as a mother, treat you better than her, so she has a problem with you."
"..." Lu Xingchen didn't know how to respond for a moment.
When she was a child, she was ignorant and felt that Chen Shufen was good to her. When she grew up, she naturally knew who was closer to whom.
Moreover, she also heard Chen Shufen tell Chen Xiaolin that she was kind to her ultimately in order to make Chen Xiaolin live a better life, and she also understood this kind of maternal love and responsibility.
"In that case, I am the one who should apologize to Hyolyn. I was ignorant when I was little and always occupied your time so that you couldn't take good care of her."
"No, no!" Chen Shufen waved her hands quickly. "It's my job to take care of you. Besides, after your mother knew that I was a single mother, she asked me to bring Xiaolin to live with her. She would be picked up and dropped off at school by the driver like the other children of the Lu family. This is really a great favor to Xiaolin and me."
Chen Shufen felt even more embarrassed when she said this. "Speaking of which, I shouldn't actually say this on behalf of Xiaolin. It's just that her biological father and I divorced when she was very young. I was taking care of her while working, and there was no one else around me, so she was a very insecure child. She thought that I usually took care of you as if I didn't love her. She might have said something very excessive to you because of this."
"Xiaolin has never said anything harsh to me." Lu Xingchen looked at Chen Shufen and smiled slightly, "She has always treated me as a friend."
But after hearing her say that she should make things worse for her, she felt that a true friend shouldn't do that.
Chen Shufen was stunned when she heard her words. If Xiaolin had always treated her as a friend, it meant that Lu Xingchen had accidentally known about her dislike for her. In that case, Xiaolin's behavior was even more unacceptable.
Especially Lu Xingchen added, "I have always considered Xiaolin a friend. Did she misunderstand something?"
It's just that since then, they are no longer honest with each other. This is an equal exchange of heart. But Lu Xingchen didn't plan to tell Chen Shufen about these words, because it's not something that needs to be said openly, and Chen Xiaolin should have this kind of awareness if she has the heart, and there is no need to cry to Chen Shufen.
Her words suddenly made Chen Shufen feel disappointed. "Xingchen, I know Xiaolin is definitely at fault for this. It all comes down to my fault for not communicating with her in time when she was a child, which led to her becoming jealous due to misunderstanding."
"Mother Chen, I really don't care, so whether it's you or Hyo-rin, I'm at a loss for what to do if you come to apologize."
Seeing that her attitude had always been good but her meaning had always been clear, Chen Shufen could only sigh, took her hand and patted it.
"I know you've always been a very good child. I just want to tell you that even though Xiaolin has conflicts in her heart about you stealing her mother's love, she has always regarded you as her role model and has always wanted to be as good as you since she was a child. She really cares about you as a friend."
When her hand was held, Lu Xingchen naturally saw her missing little finger on her left hand. Regardless of Chen Shufen's purpose at the time, if she hadn't helped to block it, she would have been the one with the broken finger. She truly deserved this favor.
Lu Xingchen looked at Chen Shufen and said, "How about this, Mom Chen? I'll ask Xiaolin out for dinner some other day to clear up the misunderstanding. You don't have to worry about it. Even if Xiaolin really thinks that way, I can understand. As long as she doesn't mind, I will always be her friend."
As he was speaking, Li Zhen walked to the door and knocked. Lu Xingchen and Chen Shufen looked over together.
Lu Xingchen curved his eyebrows.
Chen Shufen's eyes also lit up slightly.
Lu Xingchen said: "You came at the right time. Aunt Chen brought a lot of delicious food."
Li Zhen walked in.
Chen Shufen's eyes were fixed on him until Li Zhen came in and greeted her: "Hello, Aunt Chen, my name is Li Zhen."
"Ah hello hello."
Chen Shufen's eyes, don't say it, really look like Ms. Xu Fanghua looking at Li Zhen with the eyes of a future son-in-law. Lu Xingchen felt amused and said to Chen's mother: "Chen's mother, let me formally introduce you, Li Zhen is my boyfriend."
Chen Shufen's expression of surprise instantly turned into a look of astonishment at Lu Xingchen, and then at Li Zhen. The surprise on her face made her dazed for a long time before she smiled and said, "You have a boyfriend, that's great!"
Then she looked at Li Zhen again, "This child looks calm and steady, and he's really good-looking. He's tall, and he's a perfect match for your head."
When she said the last sentence, she was looking at Lu Xingchen with a smile.
Lu Xingchen: "Don't praise him, he's already proud enough."
Chen Shufen looked at Li Zhen again and said sincerely: "It's really good."
Li Zhen didn't react much to such praise. He just sat down and politely said to Chen Shufen: "I often hear Xingchen say that you are a good person. You took good care of her when she was a child."
"That's because Xingchen is such a lovely kid." Chen Shufen looked at the couple who looked more and more like a perfect match for a moment, lowered her head and pushed some of the snack box on the table towards Li Zhen, "They are all small snacks, try them."
"Then I won't be polite." Li Zhen took a piece of snack from the one closest to him and asked Lu Xingchen first, "Have you eaten it?"
"We eat, you eat."
Li Zhen put the dessert into his mouth. The dessert was not big, so he bit off half of it, savored it for a while, and swallowed it. Then he said to Chen Shufen, "It seems that Xingchen didn't lie to me. The cakes you made are better than those sold in the store."
"If it's delicious, eat more. I'll bring you more next time." Chen Shufen liked Li Zhen more and more. The more she liked him, the more mixed feelings she felt. She couldn't help but ask Lu Xingchen, "How long have you been dating?"
Lu Xingchen was about to speak.
Li Zhen said: "We talked when we were in college, it's been several years."
Chen Shufen was even more stunned, "Oh, I haven't heard Xingchen say that before."
Lu Xingchen took over the conversation: "A lot of things happened before I had time to talk about it, and it's the same to talk about it now."
Chen Shufen nodded again, "Yes, it's not easy to be together for so long. When do you plan to get married?"
Even Xu Fanghua and Wang Yaning didn't ask this question. Lu Xingchen subconsciously looked at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen said to Chen Shufen naturally: "Of course I want it to happen as soon as possible, so please help me put in some good words to Xingchen."
"Oh..." Chen Shufen couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. She turned to Lu Xingchen and said, "Such a good boy... Xingchen, you can consider getting married and having the child first. If your mother doesn't know how to take care of the child, I will help you. Then you can continue to pursue your career with peace of mind."
Lu Xingchen nudged Li Zhen with his knee under the table and said to Chen Shufen with a smile, "I have taken your words to heart. When the time comes for us to have a baby, Mrs. Liu, you will have to take care of my child just like you did me decades ago."
Chen Shufen: "As long as you don't mind my age, it's totally fine."
