The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 71
byChapter 71 Cold War
A dispute is like Mars hitting the earth.
Xu Wen’s side was full of blazing anger, but Lu Qingrang’s side was always calm, gentle and unyielding.
The two of them insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince the other, and no one was willing to give in first.
Xu Wenhan kept a clear face and kept a distance enough to draw a clear line between him and Lu Qingrang.
As soon as the other party tentatively took half a step forward, he immediately took two steps back, widening the gap that had just been shortened.
Don’t let him get close!!
He muttered silently in his mind, his tense jawline showing that he was still angry, but the stalemate atmosphere also made him feel weak.
This is not the way to go…
He took a deep breath and had no choice but to summon the system in his mind.
[According to data analysis, the target person Lu Qingrang’s decision is highly rational: it can protect your safety to the greatest extent, prevent you from being affected by public opinion because of his past, and comply with the principle of risk minimization…]
“What’s reasonable!” Xu Wen interrupted the system directly in his heart, “Does he consider my feelings?”
He took a deep breath and continued to say to the system: “What I want is not this reasonable solution. What I want is a method that can not only ensure safety, but also allow us to face it together.
[You can consider entering the venue as a media staff or technical service staff, which can not only reduce the risk of exposure, but also grasp the situation on site in real time]
Xu Wen quickly digested the method given by the system in his mind. Although it was essentially the same as Lu Qingrang’s arrangement,… at least he could enter the scene and watch with his own eyes, which was better than waiting at home.
“Okay.”Xu Wen seemed to have finally convinced himself. He glared at Lu Qingrang angrily, “The previous plan was overturned.You can enter on your own.”
Lu Qingrang’s expression suddenly relaxed, and he almost subconsciously wanted to get closer.
“Stop!”Xu Wen immediately took a step back and raised his hand to stop, “I haven’t finished speaking yet.Fuck you, but I’m going to get in my way.”
Xu Wen crossed his arms, his face still expressionless, but his voice was full of anger: “Since your face, President of Lu University, is destined to dominate the headlines on the Internet——”
He paused deliberately and glanced at Lu Qingrang:
“It’s better to let this fire burn brighter.It would be better if the fire dazzles everyone and makes them unable to tell the difference between east, west and north.”
The original plan of making a joint appearance to moderately promote Xiangyang Technology was completely abandoned.
Instead, there is a new script led by Xu Wen behind the scenes.
A personal appearance that is sharper and destined to be more impactful.
Lu Qingrang didn’t argue anymore.
Xu Wen exuded an aura that kept strangers away from him. He wouldn’t let him get close, wouldn’t even make eye contact with him, and wouldn’t even give him a chance to show weakness.
In fact, Xu Wen knew very well that if Lu Qingrang was completely placed in the spotlight of the public eye, the more dazzling he would be, the more he would become an invisible talisman.
The greater the momentum, the less Nangong Group dares to act rashly.
A beam of light came on at an unknown moment and shone slantly into the living room, but it could not dispel the stagnant air between the two of them.
Xu Wen opened a velvet jewelry box expressionlessly and took out a platinum collar button with a simple design but excellent texture.
He walked up to Lu Qingrang, neatly arranged the collar of his shirt for him, held the collar button with his fingertips, and buttoned it accurately.
The whole process is fast, accurate and stable, without any unnecessary movements or eye contact.
“Raise your hands.”Xu Wen’s voice was tight.
Lu Qing asked Yi to do as he was told, watching him adjust the cuffs for himself, his eyes that were always smiling were full of softness at this moment.
He wanted to say something, but he swallowed all his words in front of Xu Wen’s repulsive face.
After finishing dressing up, Xu Wen took a step back and glanced at Lu Qingrang’s body.
The dark gray suit outlines a tall and straight figure, and the platinum collar buckle reflects a cold luster on the collar, which just right suppresses his overly gentle temperament and adds a bit of calmness and sharpness.
Dressed up properly, the two of them sat in the car in silence, one behind the other.
Xu Wen started the engine and the vehicle merged into the traffic flow of City A. There was no conversation all the way.
On the way to the venue, when the car passed a flower shop, Xu Wen turned on the turn signal without warning and pulled over.
“Wait.”He dropped these two words, got out of the car and walked into the flower shop.
Not long after, he returned to the car holding a bouquet of carefully bandaged white chrysanthemums.
The petals were pure white and flawless, glowing with a cool halo under the light coming through the car window, which inexplicably matched his temperament at the moment.
Carefully place the bouquet in the back seat, making sure it won’t tip over or get damaged during the rest of the journey, before restarting the car.
The whole process was neat and tidy, with no unnecessary explanations.
Lu Qingrang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, watched all this quietly. His eyes stayed on the bunch of white chrysanthemums for a moment, and then fell back to Xu Wen’s expressionless profile.
His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he fell silent looking at Xu Wen’s side face that was unwilling to say anything.
The car stopped at a street corner near the venue.
Xu Wen neatly unbuckled his seat belt, took the large hooded sweatshirt from the back seat and put it on.The wide silhouette instantly covered up his original figure, making him look casual and low-key.
Lu Qingrang took out an unopened black mask from his pocket, handed it over, and said in a very soft voice: “Put it on, there are many people at the venue.”
Xu Wen glanced at him, seemed to purse his mouth downwards, and finally reached out to take it.
He unpacked the package neatly and put on the mask. The wide brim and mask almost covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of emotionless eyes.
“Gone.”
He opened the door and got out of the car first, without looking back.
Lu Qingrang looked at his back, which looked a little thin wrapped in a wide robe, and then at Bai Ju in his arms. His eyes were filled with emotions, which eventually turned into a very light sigh, and he got out of the car.
Xu Wen lowered the brim of his hat and nimbly passed through the staff passage at the side door of the conference center, hardly attracting any attention.
He blended quietly into the ocean that was about to set off huge waves.
———-
Xu Wen parked the car into the garage of the community, slammed the car door hard, and walked towards the unit door without looking back.
His steps were quick and heavy, as if he wanted to crush all the chaotic emotions under his feet.
But as he walked, his pace slowed down unconsciously, and the corner of his eye glanced behind him again and again.
It wasn’t until he confirmed that the familiar figure was following quietly three or five steps away that his hanging heart dropped a little.
He deliberately quickened his pace again, as if he wanted to get rid of something.
This deliberate awkwardness made Xu Wen even more irritated.
What he was most angry about was that Lu Qingrang always habitually took the worst part on himself, as if he should bear all the storms alone.
He was even more angry with himself. He was clearly determined to fight to the end, but his eyes kept drifting behind him uncontrollably. He had to make sure that the figure was following him a few steps away before he could feel at ease.
