You Are My Unforgettable Love

When Qiao Lian heard this suggestion, she looked up and clenched her fists.

Before she could reply, Shen Liangchuan said, “We won’t trouble you, Mr. Lu. We can go on our own.”

There was no need for Qiao Lian to speak further about this.

Lu Nanze had intended to use the topic of their school days as a conversation starter.

He wanted to talk about the past but, unexpectedly, he was cut off abruptly by Shen Liangchuan.

It made pursuing a conversation about their school days inappropriate.

Hence, he fell silent.

Shortly afterwards, the food arrived.

The familiar dishes whetted her appetite.

Just as she was about to pick up some food with her chopsticks, a piece of pork rib was placed on her plate.

Surprised, she looked up and caught Lu Nanze moving his chopsticks away from her plate. “I remember you used to love eating pork ribs. But the portions here were small and there was only a piece for each of us. I always gave you mine.”

Qiao Lian frowned at his remark.

She looked at Shen Liangchuan, hoping for a chance to explain. But Shen Liangchuan said instead, “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for taking care of her.”

Then he turned to look at Qiao Lian and said affectionately, “Have more then.”

Qiao Lian was completely astounded.

Trying not to laugh aloud, she lowered her head and started eating.

Lu Nanze had always been a gloomy person. How would he able able to outdo Zi Chuan’s viciously sharp tongue?

During the years they had been avid gamers, Zi Chuan had even made people cry with his scoldings.

Lu Nanze sat there, looking at the couple in silence.

Shen Liangchuan didn’t eat much, as the food didn’t seem too appealing to him. Throughout the meal, he looked at Qiao Lian.

She attacked the food voraciously.

The scene caused Lu Nanze to be increasingly uncomfortable.

As no one spoke during the meal, it was over in half an hour.

Before they left, the boss walked in and asked, “Mr. Lu, would you like to put this on your account or would you like to pay with credit card?”

Shen Liangchuan stood up and was about to speak.

However, Lu Nanze interrupted him and said, “This is on me.”

He gave an icy smile. “After all, you’ve poured so much money into that jerry built construction project, sooner or later you’ll go broke. Keep this money for your times of emergency.”

As he said this, he held his credit card out to the boss.

Qiao Lian, infuriated by his remark, looked up and said angrily, “Lu Nanze, what do you mean by that?”

Casting his gaze downwards, he sneered, “What do I mean? Since you have the guts to continue this project, then you must have already weighed the risks. Have you not thought about the possibility that no one will buy the units after the construction starts and the project goes on sale? What would happen then?”

Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank upon hearing these words.

They had made their calculations. Even if they were to sell everything, Shen Liangchuan would still lose all the wealth he had accumulated over the last eight years.

But if the development didn’t sell… they wouldn’t even be able to pay for the losses.

Most of the time, the bank would provide a loan to partly finance the construction of the building, and this part of the money was compensated with pre-completion sales of the units.

If the units did not sell, the building may end up having the same plight as it did previously—the project would be shelved halfway through construction.

Qiao Lian furrowed her brow. “Lu Nanze—”

Shen Liangchuan interrupted her before she could finish and said to Lu Nanze, “There are no guarantees in this world. Whether I end up making a fortune or go broke, let’s wait and see.”

Lu Nanze replied at once, “Great! Let’s wait and see! You’ll be starting the sale of those units in two weeks. I think it won’t take long to see the results.”
