Qiao Anhao stared at the three words "Lu Jinnian" on the phone screen. She looked at it a few times, before she was sure that she wasn't seeing things. Then, she slowly digested the huge impact this news had on her.
Why would Lu Jinnian buy over Xu Enterprise?
When did he start plotting this acquisition?
Why hadn't she noticed anything for so long?
Qiao Anhao's mind was a mess. She stood there in a daze for a long time without any reaction. Only when the person behind her reminded her, "Miss, it's your turn to pay." Only then did Qiao Anhao snap back to reality. She didn't know what to do next.
The cashier lady at the counter looked at the indifferent Qiao Anhao, and impatiently knocked on the table. "Miss? Where's your bill? "
Qiao Anhao handed the bill over in a daze. Then, as though she suddenly remembered something, she pulled out her phone and dialed Lu Jinnian's number. The line was busy, so she dialed Lu Jinnian's assistant's number.
"Miss Qiao."
When Qiao Anhao heard the assistant's polite voice, she closed her eyes to calm herself down. Then she asked, "Where's Lu Jinnian?"
"Mr. Lu is in his office..." Before the assistant could finish, Qiao Anhao hung up. She completely ignored the cashier lady who was asking her if she wanted to pay with cash or card. She turned and ran towards the elevator.
Qiao Anhao ran out of the shopping mall in one breath. Coincidentally, someone by the roadside hailed a taxi. Qiao Anhao rushed forward and opened the door. She apologized to the person who she had stolen the taxi from, and couldn't wait to tell the taxi driver the address. "Huan Ying Entertainment, thank you."
Xu Jiamu was her childhood best friend. If it wasn't for Xu Jiamu, she wouldn't have gotten together with Lu Jinnian. If it wasn't for Xu Jiamu, she wouldn't have broken off the marriage between the Qiao and Xu families so easily... Xu Jiamu had always protected her as her older brother, and Lu Jinnian was the man she had loved for thirteen years.
They were brothers who shared the same blood. She hoped that the two of them would be well, and she didn't want them to be estranged. So she wanted to ask Lu Jinnian why he did it.
Ever since the news of Xu Enterprise being acquired by Lu Jinnian was exposed, Lu Jinnian's phone had been ringing non-stop. Whenever a call came in, he would glance at the caller ID on his phone screen, but never once did he have any intention of picking it up. He maintained a calm demeanor as he dealt with company matters, as though he was very confident and certain, waiting for the call he had been waiting for.
The call he had been waiting for came earlier than he had expected. When he saw the name "Han Ruchu" appear on the phone screen, his lips curved into a cold smile. He continued to stare unwaveringly at his computer as he unhurriedly processed the documents. After sending them out, he picked up the phone that had been ringing for a long time. He slowly stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. He picked up the call, but didn't say a word. His gaze was so cold that it was as though there was ice mixed in it.
The other end of the phone was also silent for a long time. However, Han Ruchu, who had always been able to remain calm in the face of danger, lost her bearing and patience at this moment. In the end, she gave up and spoke first: "Why did you do this? You … "
