When Lu Jinnian finished showering, he wrapped himself in a towel and came out. His assistant immediately brought his clothes over to him. "Mr. Lu, these are the clothes you asked me to prepare for dinner with Miss Qiao tonight."
The assistant purposely emphasized the words "tonight" and "dinner", and as expected, he saw a flash of annoyance in Lu Jinnian's eyes.
His assistant had clearly reminded him that if news of the takeover of Xu Enterprises broke out, what would he do if Qiao Anhao fought with him? He had even confidently said that he would handle it. In the end? In a fit of anger, she lost her patience, turned around, and left. This was the result of his handling?
Lu Jinnian moved his lips. He took the clothes from his assistant, but he didn't turn around to change into the changing room. Instead, he picked up the phone he had placed on the chair and searched for Qiao Anhao's number. He hesitated for a moment before sending a text: [Sorry.]
Sorry, I was too emotional. Sorry, I lost my patience.
As the negative emotions disappeared, his rationality would gradually awaken. All these years, he had always felt that he was calm, but when it came to Qiao Anhao, he couldn't control his emotions and would become agitated and sensitive.
Lu Jinnian held the phone in deep thought for a while, then continued to type: [Qiao Qiao, let's have a good talk during dinner tonight.]
Lu Jinnian saw the notification that the text had been successfully sent. He placed the phone back on the chair and stood up. Just as he was about to go to the changing room, he remembered that he hadn't told Qiao Anhao his address, so he picked up the phone and sent a message: [Lijingxuan, I'll wait for you.]
After sending those six words, Lu Jinnian let out a long sigh of relief. After being in a gloomy mood for so long, he felt much better. Then he stepped into the changing room.
In the elevator, Qiao Anhao received a call from Qiao Anxia. She said that Han Ruchu had suffered a huge blow from the Xu Enterprise incident and was bedridden.
Even though Qiao Anhao wasn't related to the Xu family by blood, the two families had been close ever since she was born. All these years, Han Ruchu had always treated her well. Now that she was sick, she had to go see her. However, when she reached the Xu family's house, she felt a little hesitant. The guilt and panic that she had felt when she saw Xu Jiamu at Lu Jinnian's office once again spread from the bottom of her heart.
Even though Lu Jinnian was the one who did it, even though their relationship was complicated and ambiguous, deep down in her heart, she instinctively treated him as one of her own. Hence, whenever he did something, she always felt that she had a part in it.
Qiao Anhao stood at the Xu family's door, hesitating for a long time. Then she took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was a servant of the Xu family. Perhaps knowing that she was here to visit Han Ruchu, she brought her in after changing her shoes and pointed upstairs in the direction of the master bedroom. "Madam is upstairs."
Qiao Anhao nodded lightly, grabbing the nutritional supplements she had bought on the way up.
The door to the bedroom was ajar. Qiao Anhao pushed it open and walked in. She saw the Xu family's housekeeper tidying up the various supplements on the coffee table. Someone must have brought them when they came to visit Han Ruchu.
Han Ruchu lay on the hospital bed, her face extremely pale. Perhaps it was because of the huge impact, she was listless, looking much older than usual. Xu Jiamu stayed by her bedside, massaging her head.
PS: I was affected by the messages last night, so I wasn't in a good state. The details of the last three chapters weren't handled well, so I've revised it. Those who want quality can go back and take a look. Every time I write about the ups and downs of the plot, everyone gets excited and jumps up and scolds me ~ I just want to ask you one question:
[A 17-year-old girl falls in love with a drug lord and sells drugs for him wholeheartedly] or [A girl in Beijing hates her father for talking on the phone while driving. She feels unsafe and reports her father]. Which one do you want to be?
