As the co-founder of the company, she came to the fore, killing one of the core founders one after another, and making up another one. She is a veritable "tyrant".
But the arm can't break the thigh.
The power of capital is always a nightmare for entrepreneurs.
Just one month after the Nasdaq bell rang, she was sacked by capital, swept out of the house, and lost the career she devoted herself to.
Nothing.
So poor that only money is left.
However, all the financial news said that she retreated bravely, and immediately cashed out and left.
No one believes that this woman who has been fighting with people for many years in the field of interests will love her career more than her money.
In fact, in retrospect, Lu Jinxi didn't believe it himself.
Leaning on the head of the bed, she rubbed her eyebrows.
If Mr. Lu didn't die and was fortunate enough to wear it on her body, apart from enemies all over the ground and his predecessors all over the street, he would have no worries about food and clothing all his life. a well-known investor.
Of course, if she encounters people who cheat for money and sex, it's not something she can manage.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinxi couldn't help but laugh.
These are all nonsense.
She sat for so long, and she became more and more awake. She turned her head and saw that the window paper between the carved windows was a little frosty white.
Midday on the moon.
I felt a little emotional and a little confused for a while.
Lu Jin unknowingly got off the bed, took advantage of the light reflected by the window paper, put on his clothes, and took the hanging ferret fur cape and wrapped it around himself.
She didn't disturb the sleeping egret outside and went out by herself.
Still in early spring.
It's not the time when the insects and birds are active, so it seems quiet everywhere.
The breeze is blowing, and the moon is in the sky.
The ground is really covered with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight, the eaves of the courtyard are bent, hooking the same half-curved moon, and there are a few begonia trees planted outside the wall, but some buds are blooming under the moon, secretly bright.
Lu Jinxi looked up, walked out from under the porch, went down the steps, stepped on the slate, gently opened the door, opened a small crack, and came out.
But it was only in the middle of the night, and the originally budding Begonia actually opened most of the time.
In the yard, only a few can be seen. When stood outside, found that it was open in a large area, pressing down on the branches, very fresh.
Some of the tender pink petals were as white as snow under the moonlight.
The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded...
Thinking of this sentence, she also attached to Feng Ya, stepped forward, picked the one facing out, and folded it.
"Snapped."
A soft sound.
In this silent night, it is very clear.
At that moment, Lu Jinxi felt a light in the corner of his left eye, and shook it.
She frowned suddenly, looking to the left with a bit of alertness: It's so late, who else has the guts to walk outside except her?
On the left is the passage between the courtyard and the courtyard.
A figure stood at the opening, holding a lantern in his hand, looking a little thin, tall, and standing slightly strange.
Just because the lantern light shines from below, it is not very clear.
But Lu Jinxi recognized it immediately.
It's him?
Because there are no lights in front of the East Courtyard, only the moonlight shines in the dark, so it is not very clear. He probably heard a sound here, so he stopped and looked at it.
That begonia is already in Lu Jinxi's hands.
It is only about a foot long, and there are seven or eight flowers on the top, most of which are open or half open, and only two or three are still buds.
No scent.
Because Begonia has no fragrance.
She thought of this irrelevant sentence for no reason in her mind, and then, after a little thought, she walked directly over there.
As they got closer, the face of the crown jade became clear.
He probably saw her and knew he was recognized, so he stood still.
Lu Jinxi smelled the smell of medicine.
Stopping in front of the aisle, she frowned slightly, and her voice was as faint as the fragrance of Begonia: "In the middle of the night, the eldest son was carrying the lantern, looking at the direction, did you just come back from the outside?"
Chapter 38
Xue Tingzhi didn't expect to meet someone when he came back so late.
When he heard the sound of the branch breaking, he looked over. Although it was dim under the moonlight, he recognized Lu Jinxi after a while.
So, he didn't move.
Because he is holding a lantern.
Although he can't see Lu Jinxi, Lu Jinxi can definitely see him, and most of them have already recognized him. So running away was guilty, and it was meaningless to cover up, so he stood in place and waited.
Holding a medicine bag in one hand, and a lantern that was already dark in the other.
He listened to Lu Jinxi's inaudible voice of joy and anger, and forced the strange heartbeat to be suppressed, bowed and said, "Tingzhi, please pay attention to my mother. I really just came back from the outside, I am afraid I have disturbed my mother. …”
"Not to be disturbed."
Turning the begonia branch in his hand slightly with his fingers, Lu Jinxi's scrutinizing eyes passed over him, not ignoring the smell of medicine on his body, and of course not ignoring the medicine bag he was holding in his hand.
"At this hour, the keys have been locked everywhere in the mansion. How did you get back from outside? And this is..."
The voice was slightly elongated, and Lu Jinxi's brows were slightly twisted, but he did not continue to speak.
Meaning, it is enough to understand.
First, how did you get in?
Second, what are you doing out there?
If he really did something wrong, I'm afraid that facing the problem at this moment, he would be at a loss.
Xue Tingzhi has experienced too many things, and this change is not enough to make him panic.
At the moment, Xue Tingzhi glanced at her and seemed hesitant, but he still opened his mouth: "Reporting to my mother, I suddenly had a fever on the night of Lin'an, and everyone in the house stopped, so Tingzhi did not dare to be disturbed. So I only asked the steward to help me. Leave the door and come back at night."
"Lin'an?"
Isn't that his book boy?
Lu Jinxi still remembered that it was the one sitting on the steps eating the cake.
By Xue Tingzhi's side, it was not that no one was waiting.
It's just that those maids, seeing that his life is hard and there is no hope, they all begged the steward to be transferred to another yard.
Xue Tingzhi didn't pursue it, and when Lu found out, he closed his eyes and passed by.
So now, Xue Tingzhi is waiting by his side.
Lu Jinxi remembered and thought about the hidden meaning in Xue Tingzhi's words, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Anyway, he is also the eldest son of Xue's house. Although Lin'an is serving you closely, he is your book boy. But there is no reason why you, the eldest son, go out to ask for medicine in person."
"It's still the middle of the night, what happened, who can afford it?"
"I know that the eldest son doesn't like me, and I'm afraid he is afraid of me."
"But these things happened in the house, I should have solved it in my own place. As long as you send a message to the east courtyard, someone will come back and forth with me. Even if I fall asleep, the egret Qingque will take care of it properly. ."
Her voice, on this flowery night, had a bit of a laid-back connotation.
It's just that once you ponder the meaning of these words, it is not at all leisurely...
Xue Tingzhi listened, his fingers clinging to the lantern tightened slightly, but he lowered his beautiful eyebrows: "Mother taught me a lesson."
"No one is going to teach you a lesson."
The good son Xue Kuang taught himself, who would dare to teach him a lesson?
Lu Jinxi sneered in her heart, but her face became more and more kind, and her words were a little more introspective.
"It's still my negligence. The eldest son is not too young, and there must be a few servants around him who can be called. The eldest son does not have to be concerned about me. You are the blood of the general, and the general's house will not treat me badly. here you go."
