He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he made a U-turn and then another U-turn. He slowed down the car, rolled down the window, and drove past her.
She was so focused on the phone that she didn't notice him.
He could hear her voice clearly.
"I thought you were asleep, that's why I texted you. Little peanut isn't feeling well? Did you send her to the hospital? Oh, it's good that Dr. Xia is here. Yeah, I haven't seen her in a long time. I'll go see her some other time. "
Little peanut … Is she talking to Xiao 'ai?
Just as this thought crossed Lu Bancheng's mind, Xu Wennuan spoke again. "Yeah, it's urgent."
She seemed to be having a hard time speaking. After a while, she said, "Xiao 'ai, I want to borrow money from you. Yeah, it's to pay him back. No, when Brother Sheng wasn't in Beijing and you married him, the money wasn't yours. It was Brother Sheng's, and it wasn't a small amount. I was a little embarrassed to ask you for it. If you had money, I would definitely ask you for it immediately, but I was afraid it would affect your relationship."
The "him" she was talking about was him, right?
Lu Bancheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"I know. Brother Sheng won't mind. Fine, I'll treat you to a meal to make it up to you. How much is it? Yeah, I still need 800,000. Xiao 'ai, it might take me a while to pay you back. I know you're not in a hurry, but I still have to tell you. I'll write you an IOU tomorrow. "
Sure enough, it was him … She was borrowing money from Xiao 'ai to pay him back the rest of the money she owed him … Just now, he saw her squatting pitifully on the side of the road, so he came over. He didn't think that she would call him to cut all ties with him … Well, she didn't care about him at all, so why would she care about what he did or said?
Lu Bancheng slammed on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
Lu Bancheng received the money, but it wasn't from Xu Wennuan. It was from Xiao 'ai when he went to Gu Yusheng's house.
Of course, Xiao 'ai didn't say it was Xu Wennuan who had borrowed the money. She only said that Xu Wennuan had asked her to give it to him.
After Xu Wennuan left that night, Lu Bancheng hadn't seen her for more than 20 days.
At the beginning of May, Lu Bancheng went to the United States on a business trip for half a month.
When he returned, Beijing had already entered summer. Even though it was already night time, the weather was still unbelievably hot.
On the way back to the city, there were two car accidents, and the road was congested. By the time he entered the city, it was already ten o 'clock at night.
He found a random restaurant and had his meal. Since it was close to the office, he decided to take a short nap the next morning. So, he took a detour to the office and dealt with some urgent documents that had piled up during the business trip. Then, he drove home.
He parked the car and took the elevator upstairs.
When the elevator reached the twelfth floor, he received a WeChat message from his mother.
When he was halfway back, the elevator door opened. He carried his briefcase and walked out while typing on his phone.
He stood in front of the door and was about to enter the password when a familiar voice came from behind him. "Lu Bancheng."
Lu Bancheng froze for a full two minutes before he slowly turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Xu Wennuan sat on the second step of the staircase, her eyes red from crying as she stared at him in a daze.
