A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 1223 I am a good man

"Lu Jiang, I don't want my father's company to go bankrupt. You promised me, and you must keep your promise." Zhou Lan'er whispered.

Lu Jiang sighed and reached out to hold Zhou Lan'er loosely.

"I will definitely do what I promised, believe me!" Lu Jiang said in a firm tone.

Zhou Lan'er got in the car, and Lu Jiang drove to Zhou's house to move Zhou Lan'er's things into the car.

Zhou Lan'er sat on the edge of the bed. "I don't plan to live with you. Or, you can live in the Zhou family. My parents are not in good health right now, and I won't leave the Zhou family at this time."

"..." Lu Jiang closed the door of her closet and looked sideways at Lan'er. "If the man standing in front of you right now was from the Lu family, would you say the same thing? Is it reasonable for a married woman to live in her parents' home and not return to her husband's family?"

Zhou Lan'er spread her hands and said, "Whatever. If you don't want to live in the Zhou family, then we can separate. I can't go with you."

Zhou Lan'er hung the clothes that Lu Jiang had taken out back into the closet one by one without looking at him.

She didn't know whether choosing this man was like a moth to a flame or another freshman, she just hoped that she wouldn't lose too badly in the end.

She didn't trust Lu Jiang, the man. She trusted his feelings for her. No matter how strong and capable a woman was, she couldn't avoid being sentimental. She always thought a man would do something because of his feelings. She was just blocking the way, using the dying Zhou family's property to block it. Was a man's feelings really any use?

If I hadn't been desperate, I would never have chosen Lu Jiang. Perhaps, only at this moment would I recognize this person's ability.

Lu Jiang was helpless. "Okay, I'll stay with you at the Zhou family for a while, Lan'er. Three months, just three months too, okay?"

“…” Zhou Lan’er was silent.

Lu Jiang sat back in the chair, and Zhou Lan'er left the room to see her father.

For elderly people, illness can be devastating, and once you lie down, you can't get up. She's been receiving treatment for a while now. Mrs. Zhou was so heartbroken that she was almost delirious for a while, but she's gradually recovering. If it weren't for her mother supporting her, she doesn't know how she would have gotten through it.

Zhou Lan'er sat by her father's bed. Because her father was seriously ill and couldn't attend her wedding, her wedding was the simplest. What kind of wedding is it if her father isn't there?

"Dad, I'm getting married. The groom is not Brother Xiaoquan, but Lu Jiang." Zhou Lan'er whispered.

Mr. Zhou was paralyzed on one side of his body and his speech was not clear. One could only hear the sound of the wind but could not understand what he was saying.

Zhou Lan'er took a breath, suppressed her tears, and cried softly while holding her father's hand.

"I will live a good life and won't be willful again. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect Dad's company." Zhou Lan'er choked out a sob, "I know what you want to say, Dad. I also wish the man I marry now was Brother Xiaoquan. He's a doctor. I'd feel at ease with him around... But our family company... It's your life's work!"

She was exhausted by the company's debts. She wasn't a financial management major, so she forced herself to read through stiff documents, which she could only comprehend. All she could do was to go to the debt collectors' offices again and again, asking them to postpone the debt collection, asking the bank to grant her a few more days, asking suppliers to deliver raw materials promptly, and asking the heads of major distribution channels to continue supporting the Zhou family, repeatedly putting herself in a state of humiliation.

Ridicule and mockery were nothing to her. She even treated herself as a bargain when she married him. For the Zhou family, what else could she not endure?

"Daughter...my daughter..."

Father Zhou managed to utter a few clear words, tears rolling down his eyes.

Zhou Lan'er suddenly wiped away her own tears, and gently wiped the tears from her father's face, crying and laughing.

"Dad, Lu Jiang is actually good too. Lu Jiang is very good. Don't think too much about it. He is not Mr. Lu. Don't worry, I am not that stupid. Didn't you admire Lu Jiang before? He is actually very good. Don't worry about me. I will not let myself be wronged..."

Zhou Lan'er smiled with difficulty, as if a thorn was stuck in her throat, making her feel painful and uncomfortable, and her tears rolled down uncontrollably.

Three months ago, the Zhou family was thriving and its performance was booming. But in just three months, the Zhou family has fallen into such decline.

When people leave, the tea gets cold, that's the reality of society.

Lu Jiang stood at the door with a gloomy look in his eyes. He waited until the woman's crying subsided before he walked in.

Lu Jiang patted Zhou Lan'er's shoulder gently and said, "Go out. I want to talk to Dad."

Zhou Lan'er looked at him with red eyes. Lu Jiang sighed, "Go out. Listen to me."

Zhou Lan'er sniffed, stood up and walked out, "Dad, I'm going to see what my mom is doing. Lu Jiang will talk to you for a while."

Father Zhou stared at his daughter's back as she left, then looked at Lu Jiang who was sitting down.

Lu Jiang did not swear to Zhou's father that she would take good care of his daughter, she only said three sentences.

"I'm a good man, a good son-in-law, and I'll be a good father in the future. Don't worry about the company. I'll help Lan'er shoulder the responsibilities she can't."

Lu Jiang doesn't talk much and is silent most of the time. Zhou's father is talking, but no one can understand what he is saying.

No matter how excitedly Zhou's father yelled, Lu Jiang remained motionless and sat firmly. Zhou's father was anxious because his son-in-law couldn't understand what he said, but he also knew that no matter how loud he yelled, his son-in-law would still not move, so he simply stopped talking.

Lu Jiang sat quietly with the old man for half an hour and only left when Mrs. Zhou came in.

Only after Mrs. Zhou came in did Lu Jiang realize that Zhou's father had pooped. No wonder the old man's face turned red and he was yelling and shouting. He probably didn't want him to see such a scene.

Zhou Lan'er and Mrs. Zhou helped her father change into clean clothes and diapers. When they walked out the door, Zhou Lan'er suddenly raised her eyes with anger.

"What are you doing standing here?"

"I want to see if there's anything I can help you with." Lu Jiang said seriously.

Zhou Lan'er walked out with a cold face. "My father wants to save face. In the future, when it happens like this, you'd better get out of here." Zhou Lan'er paused and looked sideways at Lu Jiang. "If you just stand there and watch, he'll only think he wants to die. As a man, you should understand."

"I understand, but if I leave now, I'm not worthy of being your husband. From today on, I'm your husband and dad's son-in-law." Lu Jiang said in a firm voice.

She had too many misunderstandings about him. Why did she like Kou Quan? He still didn't understand.

Kou Quan is nice to everyone and is a popular lover. For a man like him, feelings are actually cheap because he has too many equally important things in his mind.

But he is not like that. His feelings are only for her. She is the first in his heart and everything else is secondary.

But she wouldn't understand the difference, or even if she did, she wouldn't give her heart to him again.
