Chapter 1368: Get Lost

Gao Zhe paused for a moment, tightly gripping the plate.

Mr.

Lu was also taken aback.

His first reaction was to look back at Gao Zhe, then gently tug on Lu Zhenzhen, “Zhenzhen, don’t speak so harshly.

I know everything about you two.

Ah Zhe has loved and cared for you since childhood.

During those years you were missing, he didn’t want to go to school and often ran away to look for you.

He was still young then, didn’t have any abilities.

He spent whatever money he had on him.

One time, the Gao Family found him fainted from hunger on the streets, during a snowy day…”

“What’s the point of all this emotional talk!” Lu Zhenzhen was incredibly clear-headed.

“No matter how he treated me when we were kids, do I have to be grateful for a lifetime?

Regardless of what he did, am I supposed to forgive him?”

Mr.

Lu was stumped.

“That’s not what Dad means.

I just think if there’s a misunderstanding, you should talk it out.

Don’t be at odds with each other, considering all these years of feelings.”

“There’s no misunderstanding!”

She had seen it with her own eyes and investigated it thoroughly.

Gao Zhe put the dishes down, walked over while removing his apron, the kind that goes over the neck, folded it a few times after taking it off.

He came to Lu Zhenzhen, his voice hoarse, “Zhenzhen, if you don’t want to see me, I’ll leave.

Don’t upset yourself.”

Lu Zhenzhen immediately sneered.

She looked up directly at Gao Zhe.

His face was very weary; a man who never used makeup had some coverage at the corners of his eyes, but it didn’t hide the tiny red veins in the whites of his eyes.

His beard was shaved, his brows trimmed, but it still didn’t conceal the exhaustion shining through his bone structure.

Before, he never looked this worn out even after sleepless nights working overtime.

Mr.

Lu couldn’t see, but Lu Zhenzhen noticed instantly.

They knew each other’s bodies better than their own; she could sense even the slightest curl in Gao Zhe’s hair.

Yet she didn’t soften, nor did she raise her voice and argue fiercely, just lowered her voice coldly and said, “Alright, get lost.”

Gao Zhe’s dark eyes flickered momentarily.

He seemed at a loss, subconsciously licked his lips as he looked down, unable to focus his gaze.

He folded the apron he had already made into a square a few more times, gripping it until the bones and veins on the back of his hand were faintly visible.

Only for a moment, he didn’t prolong his own embarrassment.

When he raised his head, his expression had returned to normal.

He suppressed the corner of his mouth, “Okay.”

Lu Zhenzhen didn’t look at him again.

Mr.

Lu went to hold Gao Zhe back, wanting to advise but not knowing where to start, knowing full well it’d be better to persuade Lu Zhenzhen instead.

But Lu Zhenzhen was a tough bone to chew, who could pry her open!

Anxious, Mr.

Lu had to signal to Nan Jiaojiao.

But Nan Jiaojiao was in a difficult position too; she didn’t want to interfere in other people’s emotional affairs.

Furthermore, her heart leaned towards Lu Zhenzhen’s side.

She didn’t show Gao Zhe any face, because she wasn’t in a position to.

It didn’t mean she could offer pleasant words either.

This stalemate wasn’t a solution.

As she intended to speak up, Mother Lu came out of the kitchen, glanced over here, smiled, “Since everyone’s back, let’s start eating.

I made mantis shrimp, Ah Zhe prepared the dipping sauce.

I just tried one, it’s really delicious.”

She called Lu Zhenzhen over, and also summoned Nan Jiaojiao, while instructing the servants to cut some fruit.

“What are you all standing around for?

Come over quickly.”

Gao Zhe hadn’t left yet, and Lu Zhenzhen certainly didn’t want him there, about to send him away when Nan Jiaojiao covered her mouth, leaned in to whisper, “Whatever the matter, talk about it separately later.

Don’t make a scene in front of your parents, let Uncle and Auntie worry.”
