Chapter 809: Zhang Baiyan is Engaged

nt half the morning dealing with affairs. By the time he was finished, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. His secretary brought him a light meal: "Mr. Gu, you haven't had lunch yet! Have a bite fir...Lu You probably guessed the other party's intention, she asked them to sit down.

Ho Jiao saw that they had something to talk about, so she took Xiao Ye Hui out to play and said she wouldn't be back until dark.

Lu You couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Once Huo Jiao took the person away, she sat back down and slowly sipped her coffee. “Lawyer Zhou, is there something you need”

Actually, he didn't want to take on this hot potato either, but he had to do it because of his boss's order.

He put a file on the coffee table.

After some consideration, he said softly, "Mr. Ye has set up a fund for the child. You just need to sign it, and the child will receive 60 million yuan in living expenses every year."

He went on to say, “I know your family isn't short of this, but after all, the child is ours, and needs to be raised together.”

Lu You lowered her head to look at the document.

After a long pause, she smiled: "No! I don't need him to co-parent! The child is mine alone."

Zhou Lawyer thought she was speaking out of anger, so he accompanied her with a smile and said, "Of course this child is shared!"

Lu You's smile faded.

Zhou Lawyer saw that she was unmoved and wouldn't listen to anything, so he didn't say much more. He quickly packed up his files and went back to the company... Lu You remained seated in her original spot, slowly sipping her coffee.

The sun sets...

Zhou Lawyer returned to the company to report, and Ye Bai had just finished processing a batch of documents, leaning back in the leather chair to rest.

Ye Bai opened his eyes and saw him. He sat up slightly, "How did it go"

Zhou lawyer put the file on the desk.

He let out a soft sigh: “This is difficult! Mr. Lu’s attitude is very firm, he just refuses to accept your kindness.”

Ye Bai lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the document.

He had already guessed Lu You's decision.

It had been two months since she moved out, and they hadn't seen each other... Ye Bai did want to see her, he did miss Xiaoye Hui, but he held back from going to see them.

Zhou Lawyer saw his appearance and thought he regretted the divorce, so he specifically mentioned it in front of him: "Xiao Ye Hui has grown taller again. Last time I saw her, she wasn't walking steadily, but this time she can run! She's beautiful like her mother! ... By the way, Mr. Lu's health isn't very good. When I left, I heard the aunties there say that he seems to have been sick for two months and hasn't gone out much."

Ye Bai's palm curled slightly.

Mr. Zhou stopped abruptly, without elaborating further, and found an excuse to leave.

Ye Bai walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and stood there quietly.

The sky was getting dark.

The office lights were on, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, thousands of homes twinkled with warmth. But not a single light belonged to Ye Bai and Lu You's home... Their house was always shrouded in darkness.

He never went back there.

He didn't dare to go, he was afraid that if he went, he would regret it, but now... Didn't he regret it

Ye Bai took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Lu You's number.

The phone rang, but Lu You didn't answer. He called her dozens of times, but she didn't pick up.

She... hated him, didn't she!

……

At the beginning of September, Lu You started getting busy with that magazine agency.

The company has been streamlined, leaving only two departments: the magazine department and the manga department.

During the "Golden Nine" period, Jin Jiu took some magazine cover photos for Huo Jiao free of charge. Although it was a second-tier magazine, Huo Jiao's charisma and figure directly overshadowed all first-tier magazines... That issue of the magazine received an eight-figure advertising fee.

Lu You took out 2 million to give to Huo Jiao, as carriage fees.

Besides, she took out another one million as the month's bonus... The originally disheartened employees suddenly saw hope, and their work was like they had been injected with chicken blood.

In October, another beautiful battle was fought.

For a time, Lu You's magazine company rose to prominence, and even a first-line female star wanted to collaborate.

Lu You had more social engagements, but she had to take care of Little Lu Hui. She delegated the unimportant ones to her secretary.

This night was different, there was someone she wanted to meet.

She had been staring for a long time, unable to find an opportunity. Ms. Hu knew she wanted to meet this person and informed her that he would be attending the evening banquet tonight, offering to introduce them.

The other party is the world's largest book agency.

Lu You had a manga he wanted to get someone to represent, and it was originally a bit difficult. But Ms. Hu knew the person well, and after a few glasses of champagne, things were easily settled.

When the dinner was halfway through, Ms. Hu left with that person to enjoy the night view of city B.

Lu You had some drinks. She stood in the hallway outside the banquet hall, blowing in the wind, wanting to wait for the alcohol to wear off before leaving.

The glass of the bay window reflected a lonely figure.

A man walked toward her. He was tall and handsome, a young and distinguished figure - it was Zhang Baiyan, the founder of Beiyou Technology.

"Lu You!"

Zhang Baiyan stood behind her calling her name. It was probably because his voice was too familiar that Lu You had a hallucination... She was dazed and thought it was Ye Bai.

But turning, it was Zhang Baiyan.

The melancholy and loss in her eyes were palpable to Zhang Baiyan.

A slight pang of pain went through my heart.

But he still smiled faintly and asked her, "Why are you standing here alone Where's your secretary"

Lu You smiled lightly: “She drove downstairs! The company is small and doesn't have a driver, saving costs.”

The air was silent.

After a long silence, Zhang Baiyan finally spoke softly, "You and him..."

Lu You didn't really want to talk about her relationship with Ye Bai, especially in front of Zhang Baiyan. Ye Bai's reason for divorcing her made her quite uncomfortable. Instead of answering directly, she smiled faintly and said, "Just friends!"

Zhang Beiyan looked deeply: "Like us"

Lu You saw a hint of probing in his eyes. At their age, no one was foolish... She knew Zhang Baiyan wanted to ask her if there was still a possibility between them.

Lu You lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. She told him very frankly, "It's still different!"

Zhang Baiyan's face was filled with desolation.

After a long pause, he asked in a low voice, "How is the child"

Lu You hummed, "That's great!"

At this moment, with no one else around, Zhang Baiyan's voice was low: "Lu You, if you don't have a suitable person... actually, you can consider mine. Even if there's no love anymore, we could at least be..."

He still couldn't bring himself to say those words.

Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.

Lu You pondered for a moment, then she still seriously told him: "Zhang Baiyan, I don't want to deceive you! At the same time, I don't want to force myself!"

Zhang Bei understood her meaning.

He didn't press any further, and the two stood side by side in silence. Lu You spoke about little Lu Hui, and Zhang Baiyan also shared some news about his university classmates... They had once been in love, but now they talked about the past like old friends.

He was simply already gone.

Another, perhaps one that will be unforgettable forever.

Lu You tilted her head and smiled faintly: "I heard you went on a blind date the other day. Did you find anyone suitable"

Zhang Baiyan paused for a full two minutes.

He looked into her eyes and spoke slowly, "There's one who just returned from studying abroad, his family runs a textile business. He's in his early thirties, quite suitable, and his personality is also good... he might be a good match." when Huo Shaoting's call came through.Wen Man picked up, her voice as gentle as ever."Ho Shaoting..."On the phone, Huo Shaoting heard her soft voice and was taken aback.Only then did he realize, in a...
