"I don't have to call her Xin Yu. I'm more than happy to call her 'Wifey'."
Lu Yihan was furious, but he laughed coldly instead. "Qin Fangang, you're very arrogant now. You can admit it to me so directly. Of course, I know you're not afraid of anything, but I can also tell you that from now on, I'll hold this wifey tightly in my arms. I'm not doing this to spite you. "
Lu Yihan sighed and said word by word, "I don't care about what happened between you and her in the past. I didn't cherish her. In the past five years, I've done many things to let her down, so you don't have to use that kind of thing to provoke me. But from now on, I won't give you another chance. I, Lu Yihan, want this woman called Leng Xinyu! "
He pointed to his heart. "My heart wants her!"
"I'll start all over again and pursue her!"
Xin Yu held her phone and stood at the entrance of the hospital. For a moment, she was in a dilemma.
She had just called Qin Fangang, but he hung up. Xin Yu felt even more uneasy. Qin Fangang never hung up on her, but now he actually hung up on her. Did something happen on his end?
Thinking about how flustered the Lu family's housekeeper looked and then looking at the phone in her hand, Xin Yu bit her lip. She got out of the car and headed to the Lu Clan.
…
By the time she arrived at the Lu Clan, it was almost lunchtime.
There were many people going in and out of the main entrance of the company. Xin Yu paid the taxi fare and stood at the entrance of the Lu Clan. She tightened the thick scarf around her neck and put on her sunglasses. She took two deep breaths and mustered her courage to walk through the main entrance.
Actually, she could go in from the back door, but what was the point of hiding?
She admitted that she was now fully armed and could be considered hiding, but she still didn't want to go in through the back door. Maybe she didn't have enough courage to face the criticism and gossip of others, but she told herself that this kind of courage could be accumulated bit by bit.
…
When she entered the lobby, there weren't many people around. Most of them were probably eating in the staff cafeteria. Xin Yu walked directly to the staircase. Since there weren't many people around at this time, she chose the staff elevator and pressed the button for the 28th floor. However, when the elevator reached the 5th floor, it stopped.
This floor happened to be where the staff cafeteria was located. There were two female staff members who had just finished their dinner. Each of them was holding a phone in one hand. They looked focused and excited as they entered the elevator.
Xin Yu subconsciously shrank into the corner of the elevator.
Right now, she was in a state of extreme nervousness. As she looked at the employees with Lu Clan ID cards and the way they were reading the news on their phones, her heart suddenly raced. Xin Yu reached up to lift her sunglasses. Just as she was about to turn her body to the side to reduce her presence, the two women standing in front of her suddenly spoke up.
"… Wow, it's true that once you enter a rich family, you're as deep as the ocean. Who would have thought that Leng Xinyu's scandal, which was only exposed yesterday and two days ago, would be exposed today with her mother-in-law's scandal …"
Xin Yu's heart suddenly stopped. It was as if there was a buzzing sound in the back of her head. Hidden behind her sunglasses, her pupils flickered for a moment. She lifted her head in disbelief and looked at the two women in front of her.
Just now … What did she just hear?
Her mother-in-law's scandal …
Li Muhua?
The female colleague beside her immediately answered Xin Yu's question. "… Isn't that right? Also, look at what's written here … "
The woman handed her phone to the woman beside her and pointed at a section on the screen. "… Actually, to be honest, hasn't Leng Xinyu always been in the UK? When she came back this time, she said that she was having an affair. I didn't think it was very reliable, but I didn't think that there really was an inside story! "
"Isn't that right? I've seen her twice at the company. I think she's quite a low-key person. Once when I greeted her, she even smiled at me. Do you still remember Young Master Han's mistress? Lan Ruoran … Didn't she also swagger into the Lu Clan in the past? Her glasses are on top of her head when she sees people! "
"Yeah, and Leng Xinyu just came back from the UK less than a month ago. I see that she's been negotiating contracts with Boss Qin all day long. I really don't understand how she has the time to find an adulterer … So she's been suppressed in the Lu Clan. I'm guessing it's her mother-in-law, Li Muhua. I've seen her in the Lu Clan before. She's a woman who won't even let people look her in the eye. Also, I heard that she used to be the older sister of the former secretary of City D's Municipal Committee?"
"Yeah, I've heard about this too. But her younger brother suddenly died. Isn't it forbidden to talk about this matter in City D?"
"… Rich families are really promiscuous. That Li Muhua is already so old, but she's still doing such shameful things outside. Now, the whole city is probably staring at Li Muhua. Who would still remember Leng Xinyu? I think everyone's thinking is the same as mine. Li Muhua doesn't like Leng Xinyu, so she came up with this groundless accusation to make her leave the Lu Clan … "
"Shh!"
The woman on the side quickly made a shushing gesture. She turned around and glanced at Xin Yu, who was standing behind her. Xin Yu was afraid that they would notice her, so she instinctively took out her phone and made a call.
The woman quickly retracted her gaze, but lowered her voice and warned the woman beside her, "… Don't you want your job anymore? No matter what, you're still Chairman Lu's wife. Don't talk nonsense! "
…
When the elevator reached the tenth floor, the two women walked out, tugging and tugging.
When the double doors closed again, Xin Yu put down the phone beside her ear and pretended to look at it. She reached out to remove the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at her own reflection on the wall of the elevator. The woman in the elevator looked pale, and her gaze was chaotic and panicked.
…
What was going on?
It wasn't her who was in trouble. Was it Li Muhua who was in trouble?
She bit her lip. After a while, she remembered and took out her phone again. She clicked on the news page. When she saw it, her face turned even paler …
These things … Who was the one who leaked them?
Xin Yu knew about Li Muhua's shady affairs, but from what she knew, Qin Fangang knew about it too. Of course, she wasn't sure if Qin Fangang had investigated Li Muhua after the incident. Now, the contents of the news report were some photos of Li Muhua and the man she had met before secretly dating. There were also some … unsightly private photos. The important parts were censored, but the more they were censored, the more it made people's imagination run wild.
Li Muhua was almost 50 years old. Even if she took good care of herself, her age was still there. For such a wealthy lady to be involved in such a scandal, one could imagine how explosive it would be. However, these weren't all. There were also some incidents of her being mean to Xinyu. What surprised Xinyu was that there were a few photos of Li Muhua pointing at her fiercely. There were also a few photos of Li Muhua hitting her. If she didn't see wrongly, the contents of those photos were from the day before when she went back to the Lu Family. Li Muhua was the one who hit her.
What was going on?
Why would these photos be in the news? When were they all taken? Why didn't she know anything about it?
…
Xin Yu felt a chill in her heart. Her hands and feet were icy cold. She felt uneasy as she reached the 28th floor. The elevator doors opened and closed, then closed and opened again twice. Only then did she come back to her senses. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she happened to see two men walking out of the conference room, one in front of the other. Her heart clenched and almost instinctively, she hid behind the large vase behind her.
The man walking in front was Qin Fangang. Xin Yu could only see his side profile in a flash. The man's side profile was very gloomy. Behind him was Lu Yihan. They had different auras, but the gloomy feeling they gave off was the same.
Once the two men walked out of the conference room, neither of them said a word. They walked separately into their own offices.
…
Xin Yu quietly exhaled. She tightened her grip on the phone in her hand. Just as she was about to enter Qin Fangang's office, the phone in her palm vibrated. She hurriedly pressed the 'sound' button, and it turned to silent. The number that was flashing on the screen was Lu Yihan's.
She immediately pressed the 'reject' button and walked briskly to the president's office.
Because she had watched Qin Fangang walk in, she pushed open the heavy oak door without knocking and walked in. As soon as she walked in, she saw Qin Fangang's tall and straight body standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a cigarette. Two-thirds of the cigarette that had just been lit was still burning between his long fingers.
As soon as Xin Yu entered the office, she relaxed her breathing and closed the door. She was still a little worried about Lu Yihan, so she instinctively unlocked the door.
When she unlocked the door, there was clearly a sound. Although it wasn't loud, it was unnoticeable in this exceptionally quiet office.
However, the man who had always been so sensitive was still standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, not moving an inch.
Xin Yu pursed her lips and took a step forward. Her red lips moved. Just as she was about to say something, the man in front of her suddenly moved. She saw his hand hanging by his side as he lazily flicked the ash from his cigarette. His deep voice sounded a little depressed. "… Ji Yang, contact President Zhang. Tell him that I —"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Fangang had already turned around slowly. When he saw that the person who had come wasn't Ji Yang, but Xin Yu, his deep eyes flickered slightly before returning to normal.
Even though it was a fleeting change, Xin Yu still sensed it.
"When did you get here?"
Qin Fangang walked to the front of his office desk. He put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the ashtray. He strode towards Xin Yu with his long legs. He reached out and pulled Xin Yu into his arms. He leaned over her body and took a deep breath. The soft fragrance of a woman's body could soften the tense emotions in his heart. Qin Fangang's gaze gradually softened. "I thought it was Ji Yang."
It turned out that he had heard someone come in, but he didn't know it was her.
