Adler Lu and the Facade of Fame Chapter 10

"I misunderstood him more deeply than any of you."

"It's not just this."

"I'm so ignorant, but he's like an idiot when it comes to Jane."

"That's true for a lot of things."

"But, so am I. You know, he and I..."

"He and I are quite similar. We both have very stubborn personalities..."

Normally, when the TV switches to the movie channel, Dexter Cheng will always change the channel without blinking. He is not a person who likes art, cannot understand advanced music and art, and has no interest in the false stories of movies.

But for the first time in his life, he rested his head on the sofa and stared blankly for ten or twenty minutes.

For the first time, he felt that sometimes the lines in movies were damn right.

Dexter Cheng watched and felt that Keira Knightley's face on the screen flickered into the face of someone who was spitting blood. Her pair of dog eyes were full of love, and she said to the people around her: "My misunderstanding of Dexter Cheng Deeper than all of you."

Yes.

Dexter Cheng is definitely a complete bad guy in many things, but when it comes to Adler Lu, he is really innocent.

Although he is not a person with a strong sense of morality, the spirit of contract as a businessman still exists.

After all, Adler Lu was his partner, not just his subordinate, not his lover. He couldn't do such a thing and didn't even bother to stab his contract partner in the back.

Benedict Cheng's move was done to show the old guys from the Cheng family, so that they could fully understand that Dexter Cheng was a master who couldn't stand up to the wall, consolidate his position as heir, and indeed go along with Dexter Cheng's wishes and dispel some of the problems. He is secretly suspected of being someone who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger.

Adler Lu's inference was very reasonable. It would be great for Dexter Cheng not to deal with the person who took the secret photos and let the news leak out. However, this person never thought about the possibility, that is, Dexter Cheng paid and dealt with it, but did not It's so extreme that it threatens life and safety and makes people rebel.

As for why we let public opinion ferment...

Adler Lu thinks that everyone is a little star, and he can do a variety show to make his face look like five million dollars every minute? Doesn't he make money? He has been besieged by the board of directors for how long. Not to mention surfing the Internet, he has not been able to enter the house three times, and he has been restless for days and nights. He doesn’t chat with the gossipy star-chasing little girls in the company, so he can’t browse Weibo and see hot searches. Is it weird?

On the TV, the male and female protagonists had already settled their differences and were K!ssing in the dark. Dexter Cheng was still thinking about someone, and she immediately changed the channel with goosebumps.

If the misunderstanding is resolved, we must get together...

Dexter Cheng threw the remote control away, lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Then let Adler Lu continue to misunderstand, and stay as far away from him as possible.

He was always too worried to sleep, so the house was quiet and quiet, and he soon fell asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, he vaguely heard Adler Lu's voice, wailing and telling him that he couldn't recognize good people and deserved everything...

With a "click" sound, the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.

"Fcuk..." Dexter Cheng said hoarsely, raising his arms to cover his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Adler Lu was still carrying several large shopping bags in his hand. He was obviously going to spend some money to buy something.

Dexter Cheng laughed angrily when he heard this: "My house, if I'm not here, where would I be?"

Adler Lu's mental state has obviously been calmed down a lot by high consumption, and he rarely takes away his thorns in the face of Dexter Cheng.

"It's just right. It saves me some time alone to date you."

Adler Lu exhaled, took off his coat, dropped the large and small bags in his hands, and walked to the sofa while carrying only one of them.

He stood in front of Dexter Cheng, took out a few wads of paper from the bag, and threw them in Dexter Cheng's face.

"Divorce agreement, contract termination document. Signed."

Dexter Cheng pulled the paper off his face, raised his eyelids and glanced at the person in front of him.

Adler Lu's face was expressionless and calm. Dexter Cheng stared at him for a while and suddenly laughed.

"Okay." He turned over and sat up, "Pen."

Adler Lu turned around and walked towards the study, and came out after a moment with a pen.

Dexter Cheng took it casually, turned it around on the fingertips of his right hand, and flipped through the documents casually with his other hand.

Adler Lu's name was signed early. He left time for Dexter Cheng to browse the entries, while he sat on the corner of the sofa farthest from Dexter Cheng, folding his arms and closing his eyes to relax.

For the first time, the luxurious living room was brightly lit at night, but the two owners used this light to discuss how to go their separate ways.

No one spoke.

Adler Lu couldn't count how many times there was silence between him and Dexter Cheng.

For many people, silence is a mood-breaker. But it was more like a savior to them.

He and Dexter Cheng were facing each other, and neither of them could say anything that would satisfy the other.

From the corner of his eye, the pen in Dexter Cheng's hand was drawing on the document, and Adler Lu heard the rustle of paper and pen touching each other.

He suddenly realized clearly that these few strokes and these sounds had become the declaration of the end of his first marriage.

The hasty and impulsive start of this marriage and the funny and careless ending of this marriage seemed to be neither a "major life decision" for him nor Dexter Cheng, but just a dispensable step to achieve their goals. piece.

Dexter Cheng was trying to find a shield to hide his eyes from others, and he...

Maybe I just want to find a place where I don't look embarrassed in the face of setbacks.

The sound in his pocket brought Adler Lu back to his thoughts. He pulled out his cell phone. When he saw the caller ID, his pupils flashed slightly and he didn't know whether to answer it or not.

"You don't want the house?" Dexter Cheng tapped the paper lightly at the end of his pen and waited for a moment, but there was no response.

"Tsk, reply."

Adler Lu suddenly came back to his senses when he heard the sound. Before his brain could react, he hung up the phone first.

"Oh, no." He cleared his throat, picked up his phone and typed a few lines, and replied without raising his head, "I think it's unlucky for you to have lived there."

"Thank you. I just like to hear people say I'm unlucky." Dexter Cheng's hand flicked through a few more pages and continued, "I'll give you the two cars I bought after we got married. I feel bad for taking advantage of you."

"Then I'll add a few more clauses. Regarding the relationship between Zhengsheng Pharmaceutical and me, I need you to keep it confidential."

"OK."

"Correspondingly, I will not take back all the resources I promised you during the contract period."

"Um."

"As for the property during this period of marriage, I will be generous and divide it 28/50 with you. Do you have any objections?"

"right..."

Dexter Cheng's writing paused and he noticed something was wrong.

He raised his eyes and saw Adler Lu holding his cell phone and doing something unknown. It was obvious that his attention was not on him.

Dexter Cheng's own personality is actually more in line with his working state.

Employees who are familiar with Dexter Cheng know that the boss has a good temper and everything is easy to negotiate as long as his bottom line is not touched.

And one of the bottom lines is that.

"Don't take his words seriously."

Dexter Cheng saw someone lowering his head and looking at his phone intently. With the idea of   going their separate ways and quarreling and getting together in a few minutes, Dexter Cheng suppressed his anger and continued to flip through the last document.

"Wait a minute." He frowned, "Why does the termination document show that you are not responsible and do not need to pay liquidated damages?"

"yes."

Upon seeing this, Dexter Cheng lowered his voice and said coldly: "Raise your head."

Adler Lu sighed, put down the phone, but still held it in his hand, and said in a cold tone: "Don't you understand the word "blameless"? It means that I am not responsible for the termination of the contract at all. The termination of the contract between you and me is because of your If I go back on my word, I can only choose to cancel the cooperative relationship passively, instead of taking the initiative to break the contract. "

Dexter Cheng simply felt that he was made of iron, otherwise why wouldn't Tianling Gai be blown away by anger at this moment?

He was unjustly accused for no reason, but he didn't care. When Adler Lu insisted on terminating the contract, he needed to reconsider it, but he didn't stop him.

I thought I would just take some money from Adler Lu and forget it, but who would have thought that this person would become so evil? He was being taken advantage of.

Adler Lu looked at Dexter Cheng with his face raised and the words "What can you do to me" written in big letters on his face.

At this moment, Dexter Cheng felt that he was more unjust than Darcy, and not as lucky as Darcy. At least he was facing Elizabeth, who was both smart and beautiful, while in front of him was a fool with a donkey's head and only a face.

Adler Lu's cell phone was not on silent, and the WeChat message notifications sounded one after another, and each sound was like the last straw that broke Dexter Cheng's decent mental state.

Finally, when Adler Lu looked away and wanted to reply to the message again, he quickly took Adler Lu's phone away with one hand. Adler Lu wanted to take it back, but lost his footing and kicked over the shopping bag at his feet.

Dexter Cheng held the phone, and in the corner of his eye was the intimate note "Nagisa" flashed across the phone. At his feet was a brand new grass-green baseball cap with the label still on.

Dexter Cheng bent down, picked up the hat, patted it, and handed it to Adler Lu.

He smiled and said to Adler Lu.

"I changed my mind, baby."

"I will never leave you until I die."
