Xin Yu didn't expect Lu Yiting to be so ambitious. She was actually eyeing the 5% of Lu Clan's shares in her hands?
She recalled that Li Muhua had also talked to her indirectly about the shares back then. Now, she wanted a piece of the pie too. She had really underestimated this rich young lady. Her appetite wasn't small.
"Since you've said it yourself, things are different now. I've already been put under house arrest by your Lu family. Who knows what else awaits me next? If I give you the 5% of Lu Clan's shares, how am I supposed to protect myself? "
Xin Yu stood up. She had already thought of a way to leave. Although it was a little dangerous, even if she couldn't leave, she wouldn't be so stupid as to give the 5% of shares to Lu Yiting. Giving it to Lu Yiting was equivalent to giving it to Li Muhua. Who knew if it was Li Muhua's idea for Lu Yiting to come over to talk about a deal?
"You can leave. I have no interest in your deal."
Lu Yiting was speechless.
"Leng Xinyu, don't be so smug. Don't think that just because you have the 5% of Lu Clan's shares, you can do whatever you want in the Lu Clan. Let me tell you, you'll have to spit it out one day! I'm the daughter of the Lu family. Once you divorce my brother, you're nothing! "
Xin Yu couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with her. She waved her hand and said impatiently, "Yes, I'm nothing, so don't waste your time on me. Lu Yiting, if you have time, why don't you think of a way to get shares from your father? I don't have enough for you to have a foothold in the Lu Clan."
"You —"
Lu Yiting was so angry that her face contorted. She wasn't a smart person to begin with. Now that she was provoked by Xin Yu, she spoke without thinking. "Leng Xinyu, you weren't like this in the past! You've really changed. Is it because you have another man outside? That's why you dare to talk to me like this. You're using a chicken feather as a token of authority. I've given you a chance, but you don't want it! I'm not afraid to tell you that it was my father's idea to put you under house arrest this time. He wants to teach you a lesson and let you know that our Lu family isn't a place where you can come and go as you please! Also, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have Qin Fangang backing you up. Just because you hold 5% of the Lu Clan's shares, you can participate in the Lu Clan's shareholders' meeting. Just you wait. One day, I'll be there too! "
"…"
Lu Yiting roared in one breath and didn't dare to stay any longer. She probably knew that she had no chance, so she left angrily after taking advantage of him verbally.
Xin Yu stood in place, a little stunned.
She reached out and pressed her throbbing temples. She thought about Lu Yiting's last few words, then thought about her various abnormal behaviors toward Qin Fangang. She guessed that Lu Yiting wanted her shares because of Qin Fangang.
Was she really not Lu Shiyun's daughter? She had never thought about this question in detail, nor did she dare to think about it. A wealthy family like the Lu family was as deep as the ocean. Ever since Xin Yu saw the incident with Li Muhua, she only wanted to avoid it. Now, she wanted to escape even more.
She shook her head and threw Lu Yiting to the back of her mind. Right now, there was something she couldn't understand. Why did Lu Shiyun want to lock her up?
In her heart, the elder she respected the most was now using such intolerable "emotional violence" on her. She really couldn't think of a reason …
But now, nothing was important. This Lu family was like a prison to her, imprisoning her soul. She wanted to fly out. Whether it was selfish or shameful, right now, she felt more uneasy and panicked. She had to leave this place.
…
Walking back to the balcony, Xin Yu clutched the bedsheet that she had "processed" with both hands. She took two deep breaths, supported herself with both hands, and started to flip over and run out of the balcony.
She wasn't afraid of heights, and to be honest, at this height, she wouldn't fall to her death. But Xin Yu was panicking. This was her first time doing something like this. Her palms were wet, and there were a few times when she had the illusion that she couldn't hold on to the bedsheet. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
When her body was completely hanging outside the balcony, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.
She didn't know what to do next, and her mind was in a mess. The distance between the third floor and the second floor of the balcony wasn't very far. She hung in the air for a long time, thinking about what she should do. Finally, she subconsciously loosened one hand. Slowly, she came down and loosened the other hand. By the time her toes touched the railing of the balcony on the second floor, Xin Yu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
She was about to succeed …
When she reached the second floor, she would be able to jump down a little more.
…
Just as this thought flashed across her mind, a startled voice suddenly sounded from behind her. At the same time, Xin Yu's heart, which had just relaxed a little, rose to her throat again.
"… Ah, Young Mistress? What are you doing? Someone, come quickly. Young Mistress, please don't move. Be careful not to fall … "
Xin Yu's head buzzed. She didn't know who was calling her. At that moment, she loosened her wrist and lost control of her body. Her whole body fell heavily. She knew that something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Ah … Oh no, Young Mistress, Young Mistress jumped off the building. Someone, come quickly …"
Xin Yu wanted to open her mouth and say that she really didn't jump off the building and didn't commit suicide, but it was too late. The darkness had completely engulfed her. She moved her lips, but no sound came out.
…
England.
As soon as Qin Fangang entered the house, he immediately took off his tie. Today was Situ Yan's birthday. He had been fooling around all night. In fact, he had wanted to come back a long time ago, but he had no choice. His little sister's birthday was only celebrated once a year, and his mother had repeatedly reminded him not to. In the end, he didn't come back until now.
Qin Huimin was recuperating in the hospital. However, in the past two days, his condition was almost under control. The doctor said that there was no serious problem. Qin Fangang accompanied Qin Huimin in the hospital for almost two days. He waited until tonight, and then he went to attend Situ Yan's birthday party without stopping. Now that he stopped, he looked at the time. It was night here, and it was almost daytime in D City. He hadn't contacted Xin Yu for too long. In addition to worry, he missed her too much.
Qin Fangang didn't even have time to change his clothes. He walked directly into the study, picked up the landline, and dialed Xin Yu's number. However, the phone was turned off.
He frowned and didn't give up. He dialed a few more times, but it was still the same.
Qin Fangang hung up and then dialed Ji Yang's number.
It should be afternoon in D City now. Qin Fangang's call didn't take long before Ji Yang picked up. "It's me."
"Boss Qin?"
Ji Yang seemed to be relieved. However, when he spoke again in the next second, there was a hint of anxiety in his tone. "… Boss Qin, I've been trying to contact you for a day. I couldn't reach you before this."
Qin Fangang was about to light a cigarette for himself. The moment he heard this, his fingers froze and he frowned. "Is there something important?"
"Miss Leng …"
Ji Yang paused for two seconds before he said, "… something happened to Miss Leng."
Qin Fangang lost control of his grip on the cigarette. The cigarette suddenly broke between his fingers. His gaze instantly turned cold and his voice was tense. "What happened to her?"
"… her fifth wedding anniversary with Lu Yihan should be tonight. Lu Shiyun has been getting people to prepare for it. He hasn't stopped. Also, I heard that Lu Shiyun didn't hold the fifth wedding anniversary for nothing. He probably has other motives."
Qin Fangang lowered his eyes and glanced at the broken cigarette between his fingers. He raised his hand and threw it into the ashtray beside him. His slender fingers slowly brushed across his thin lips. His actions seemed to have a hint of bloodlust. "What's going on at the company?"
Ji Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "Yesterday, Lu Shiyun came to the company. He called for an impromptu shareholders' meeting. The shareholders' meeting consisted of the directors who supported Lu Yihan. I only found out about this today. Yesterday, Lu Shiyun deliberately got someone to send me away. However, he didn't know about my relationship with Tang Miao, so it was Tang Miao who told me about the meeting. Also, Boss Qin, a few of the directors who supported you have met Lu Shiyun in private, but I'm not sure who they are."
"He can't hold it in anymore."
Qin Fangang held the phone and sat more than half of the table. He elegantly crossed his long legs and rested his elbow on the phone. He held his temple with one hand and didn't panic at all. His deep gaze was unfathomable. His unfathomable expression revealed his determination to win.
"I'll return to D City immediately. Keep an eye on Xin Yu. Don't make any moves at the company for the time being. Lu Shiyun just wants to put me in my place. I don't care about the Lu Clan anyway. Since he's plotting to deal with me, I'll definitely play with him. "
As Qin Fangang spoke, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. He asked, "What time is the banquet starting?"
"It should be in seven or eight hours."
Qin Fangang replied with an "Mm" — seven to eight hours, that would be enough.
…
When Xin Yu woke up, she found herself lying on a big, soft bed. There were many people standing beside the bed and she could hear the low voices of people talking. She couldn't hear them clearly, but she could hear the general idea.
"… It shouldn't be a big problem. Although she fell from the second floor, she didn't hurt any important parts. She'll be fine when Young Madam wakes up …"
"… She has to attend the fifth anniversary celebration tonight. Will it affect her?"
"… Well, I don't think it'll be a big problem. I've just checked on Young Madam. There's nothing wrong with her limbs. She fainted because she was too shocked. She'll be fine when she wakes up …"
"…"
