From ten in the morning to five in the afternoon, Lu Jinnian finally managed to escape. He found a secluded spot, lit a cigarette, and took a breather.
Halfway through his cigarette, he pulled out his phone and looked at it for a while. Then he tapped on Qiao Anhao's WeChat, wanting to reply...
Qiao Anxia was right, the more intimate they were, the more hurt Qiao Anhao would feel.
He was too selfish. He wanted to get close to her, but he brought her so much trouble.
Last time, she died in the womb, and this time, her reputation was ruined?
He could not always hurt her again and again in the name of love.
At that thought, Lu Jinnian put his phone away and took a deep drag on his cigarette. Before he could blow out the smoke, his assistant appeared to remind him, "Mr. Lu, we should head out. Dinner is about to start."
At the dinner, there were quite a few business partners from Beijing. Everyone knew each other, so they sat at the same table.
Lu Jinnian was usually a man of few words, and this time was no different. From the moment he sat down to the moment everyone downed one glass after another, he didn't say more than ten words.
Men and women were the same, gossiping was in their bones.
As they drank too much, people started to talk about all sorts of things.
Lu Jinnian had heard of the people they were talking about, but it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.
In the end, they didn't know who it was, but after a while, the topic of Xu Enterprise was brought up.
"The vice-president of Xu Enterprise, Han Ruchu, recently raised a few billion yuan. It seems she wants to invest."
"That woman has always been very bold. She was the one who stabilized most of the Xu Enterprise."
"We've worked together once or twice, she's quite smart and thoughtful, but she's too shrewd."
...
When it came to Han Ruchu, some people praised her, while others criticized her. In the end, someone said, "Oh right, speaking of Han Ruchu, I just remembered something. Have you guys heard? Recently, the young master of the Xu family is divorcing the daughter of the Qiao family? "
Lu Jinnian, who had been nonchalant all this while, suddenly pricked up his ears when he heard this.
Then his heart thumped. Could it be that Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu are divorcing because of me? "
"Are you serious? When did that happen? "
"I heard about it about a week ago."
A week ago... At that time, he and Qiao Anhao hadn't been photographed, so this had nothing to do with him?
Lu Jinnian felt a little more relieved.
"Why are you divorcing? The business cooperation between the Qiao Family and the Xu Family is very close … "
"It's because of a woman, Lin Sun's granddaughter. She's currently studying at university. I don't know how she met Young Master Xu, and then the two of them seemed to …" Halfway through his sentence, the man spread his hands and hinted, "You all know, then Young Master Xu was moved and wanted to marry her. Now he's thinking about how to break off the engagement with the Qiao family."
Lu Jinnian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. My sister is Lin Sun's granddaughter's classmate. I've seen Young Master Xu go to school to look for her a few times. Otherwise, how would I know about this?"
"Lin Sun's granddaughter is a legitimate third generation official. She is indeed more suitable for a marriage alliance than the Qiao family. No wonder she wants a divorce."
