Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 305: Don’t Fall in Love, Just Focus on Your Career

Lu Xingchen took out the key and opened the door. After a while, Xu Fanghua came out of the kitchen while answering the phone. Seeing her at the door, she hung up the phone with a panicked look, "Why are you back?"

Seeing her guilty look, Lu Xingchen bent down to change his shoes with amusement in his heart, "Isn't it the wrong time for me to come back? What if there is someone else at home?"

"It's just me and Sister Zhang at home. Who else could there be? I thought you would stay overnight at Li Zhen's place."

"Oh." Lu Xingchen hung up her bag and walked towards the sofa. "Where's Aunt Zhang?"

"She's gained weight recently, and after dinner she went to the community to exercise... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Miss Xu seems to be in high spirits lately. Is she dating someone behind my back?" As she said this, she reached out to snatch her cell phone.

Xu Fanghua put the phone behind her back and said, "How old am I and why am I still in a relationship?"

"Then where are you hiding your phone?"

Xu Fanghua handed over the phone immediately after hearing this. "Here you go. I haven't even checked on you, but you're checking on mine."

"You're so obedient and handed over your phone. It seems nothing is wrong... Do you think I think so?" Lu Xingchen said as he quickly went to get her phone.

Xu Fanghua was trying to retreat in order to advance, thinking that this way Lu Xingchen would no longer be interested in her phone. However, Lu Xingchen also played a trick of retreating in order to advance, making her think that she would not look at her phone and then snatched it away unexpectedly.

Xu Fanghua hurriedly tried to snatch the phone back. Lu Xingchen avoided her hand while looking at the latest call records. The mother and daughter hugged each other on the sofa. After a while, Lu Xingchen said two words.

"Xu Lai?"

Hearing the name, Xu Fanghua got up from her unhappily and straightened her hair, "Yes, you also know my current boss."

"I know him, but why does your boss call you so many times a day?"

Xu Fanghua glared at her, "Why are your eyes so quick? Aren't you just checking the latest call?"

"The last call and the most recent call were both with the same person. Can you blame my eyes?"

Xu Fanghua was stubborn at first, "We just talked about some work matters...Okay, he did want to pursue me, your mother, but I didn't agree."

Lu Xingchen looked at her seriously, "Why? Don't you have a good impression of your junior brother? And I thought he was a pretty good person when we had dinner together last time."

"It's not enough to be a good person." Xu Fanghua has been in love twice and married twice in her life, one was Lu Wenli and the other was Lu Dingsheng. She has exhausted all her thoughts on love and marriage. "Xu Lai is three years younger than me, has his own career, and has never been married."

"This doesn't conflict with wanting to be with you."

"It does matter." Xu Fanghua analyzed seriously, "I've dated two men who made me exhausted. It's impossible for me to give him the love he wanted. I've also been through a 20-year marriage to a wealthy family and a 7-year marriage to a poor family. It's even more impossible for me to give Xu Lai or anyone else the marriage they want. Xu Lai is only 46 years old. He can have a good love life, a family and children. But these things are just a burden to me."

Lu Xingchen could understand why she said that, and because of that understanding he felt that she was a little pitiful, "Maybe if I change someone, I can still look forward to love."

Xu Fanghua shook her head. "I devoted the first half of my life to love, men, and the so-called family. You don't understand how much I cherish the courage to step into society decades later. Maybe my ambition is nothing to you, but it is very meaningful to me. Now I see that the students I taught are constantly improving, and I have also received their recognition, the recognition of their parents... I have never felt so valuable, and I have never been so satisfied and down-to-earth."

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, and saw the students and their parents expressing their gratitude to her, as well as some daily sharing sent by the students. The joy on her face was so vivid that it seemed touchable.

"There's one more thing." Xu Fanghua stood up and walked back to the room briskly. After a while, she took out a large shopping bag. As soon as Lu Xingchen saw the logo on it, he knew it was clothes.

Xu Fanghua took out the clothes and gave them to her. "Here, Mom bought you a coat with the first salary and bonus she received from her work."

Not to mention Xu Fanghua's sense of accomplishment, Lu Xingchen was also deeply touched.

It’s not that Xu Fanghua hasn’t bought her clothes before, and she even bought her more expensive clothes without blinking an eye, but most of those were paid with Lu Dingsheng’s card. Even if there were many digits in her card, they all came from Lu Dingsheng.

So, when Xu Fanghua saw Lu Xingchen wearing this dress, her eyes turned red with a smile, "It looks good, really good."

Lu Xingchen suddenly couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

Xu Fanghua's tears fell immediately, "Xingchen, what else do you want? Mom will buy it for you."

Lu Xingchen's eyes were also warm, and he said with a smile: "I want whatever my mother buys for me."

Xu Fanghua nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll buy you another one, but my salary is not high, so don't complain that I don't buy something too expensive."

Lu Xingchen smiled, "It's okay, you gave birth to me well, I can wear cheap clothes better than others."

The mother and daughter teased and comforted each other for a while. Lu Xingchen no longer asked her about Xu Lai or love, but only asked: "Ms. Xu, you want to build a career so much, have you thought about the future development?"

Xu Fanghua: "Yes, I am teaching students while learning how to recruit students and run a dance class. I would like to open my own dance studio if I have the chance. I don't want to just target teenagers and children preparing for exams, I also want to expand some opportunities for middle-aged and elderly people like me who love dancing..."

Hearing Xu Fanghua's somewhat immature but imaginative career plan, Lu Xingchen suddenly gave up. She had originally planned to tell her that she was going to attend the old lady's birthday party today, and about Lu Yisen's plan. She had nothing to do with those things anymore, so she just let her live her life to the fullest.

New Year’s Day is approaching.

Yang Wenqi took her daughter to the seaside for vacation. Before boarding the plane, she sent a message to Lu Dingsheng: I will accompany Xinyue to the seaside to relax, and will be back after the New Year's Day holiday.

Lu Xingchen came to Binhai on a business trip for the company's and the cruise company's safety cabin automatic emergency system project.

This project was originally in charge of Zhao Wenjing, but she took a leave a few days ago and went to Xu Nanhe's hometown with him to celebrate his grandfather's birthday and meet the elders. She will not be back until after New Year's Day.

The others were busy with other projects, but she, who was relatively familiar with this project, came with Cheng Xiao. The system was tested on the same day and found to be fine. In the next few days, they needed to conduct emergency simulations with the cruise company staff to see if the device could achieve the emergency effect required by the other party.

That evening, the people from the cruise company invited them to dinner together. This kind of work dinner was inevitable, so the two of them arrived at the hotel restaurant as scheduled. Unexpectedly, the person sitting at the head seat at the dinner was Chu Zeyan.
