Murong Rui’s face turned green and white when she heard Ning Wan’s words.
How could she not understand Ning Wan’s words? It was precisely because she understood them that she felt an urge to get up and tear Ning Wan apart.
Seeing Lu Jingchen arrive, Song Qiao wasn’t surprised, but seeing Xi Mohan and Ning Wan co together made her quite surprised.
Instead of looking at Lu Jingchen, her gaze fell on the Ning Wan in front of her, and with her lips slightly parted, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Ning Wan looked Song Qiao up and down and left and right, realizing she wasn’t hurt, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained directly, "I was just about to co over to have dinner with you. I ca here with an empty stomach and was just parking my car when I bumped into Lu Jingchen’s car, so we ca in together..."
Song Qiao glanced at Xi Mohan, and asked with a laugh, "What about Xi Mohan? Did he co along with you?"
Upon hearing Song Qiao’s words, Ning Wan’s body paused for a mont, instinctively looking back at Xi Mohan standing not far away beside Lu Jingchen, her brows furrowed, but with a touch of disdain, she continued, "That man acts like he’s sick lately. Wherever I go, he seems to follow. Doesn’t matter; if he wants to follow, let him follow... Tell what’s going on here? Why is Murong Rui here? Did she do anything to you? Are you hurt?"
For so ti now, I’m not sure if Xi Mohan’s brain has been struck by lightning, or if water has gotten into it, but he’s either having people follow or is showing up directly at my place after work. He claims it’s to protect , but anyone with a brain can see he’s completely behaving like he’s delusional.
I’m simply fed up with this man appearing in front of , but no matter what I say or do, he remains impervious to reason, making so angry that I almost go buy a piece of tofu and crash into it to end it all.
Song Qiao, amused, looked at Ning Wan, as if unaware of the others, and continued, "You ask so many questions, how am I supposed to answer? I’ll tell you later, first we need to deal with the situation at hand."
While they chatted openly, everyone had already focused their attention on them, and Song Qiao could feel the intense gaze Lu Jingchen directed toward her.
His gaze was so intense that she couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.
She turned directly to look at the man opposite her, her gaze unwavering, and spoke with a calm tone, "Since you’re here, take her away. Also, if she insists on using that previous incident to bother my grandpa, Lu Jingchen, I don’t mind using divorce to secure my grandpa’s peaceful life."
Murong Rui, who had been trying to endure the pain of her sprained wrist and hold back her screams to see if Lu Jingchen would show concern for her, paled further upon hearing Song Qiao’s words. Instinctively, she looked at Lu Jingchen, her lips moved but she dared not utter a word.
Because at this mont, Lu Jingchen’s face was so dark it seed like it was about to drip water, his voice even colder, as he walked up to the woman in a few strides, looking at her firmly, almost grinding his teeth as he spoke each word clearly, "I’ve never thought about divorce. Song Qiao, don’t even think about it. You better dismiss that idea."
The man’s gaze was burning as he looked at her, and with the sudden closeness, she was stunned for several seconds.
Upon hearing his words, Song Qiao’s breath tightened involuntarily, her hand at her side clenched, she took a step back to widen the distance between them, her gaze falling on Murong Rui who was still sitting on the grass, pointing with slender fingers, before looking back at Lu Jingchen, speaking again, "Not divorcing is fine, as long as she doesn’t interfere with my grandpa’s life anymore, and retracts those threats she made before, I’ll dismiss that thought."
However, as soon as Song Qiao finished her words, Murong Rui, seemingly unable to control her emotions, crawled up, her gaze cold as she shrieked, "Song Qiao, do you have any sha? What gives you the right to say such things? You dare to threaten Jingchen? Do you think Jingchen can’t live without you?"
Lu Jingchen’s face sank, just as he was about to open his mouth to stop Murong Rui, Song Qiao already had a smile on her face, looking charmingly as she said, "I look better than you. If you have any sha, why shouldn’t I?"
Lu Jingchen’s gaze fell on the woman in front of him, suddenly feeling a bit unfamiliar. Though they hadn’t seen each other for just two days, looking at her felt like it had been a long ti.
Upon closer inspection, he realized her complexion wasn’t good, and she seed to have lost weight.
Murong Rui gritted her teeth in anger, her face already pale and now looking even worse, but just as she was about to speak, she was t with the sight of Lu Jingchen’s gaze turning back to her, instantly fright tightening her breath, leaving her unable to say a word.
Lu Jingchen rely cast a faint glance at her, then instructed the bodyguard beside him, "Take her to the hospital. Without my orders, don’t let her co here. Otherwise, you won’t need to work anymore."
The bodyguards Murong Rui brought were, after all, from the Lu Family, generally listening to Lu Tianming and Lu Jingchen. But since the bodyguards were arranged by Lu Tianming for Murong Rui yesterday, she had them co along today, so they followed her here.
The bodyguards heard Lu Jingchen’s words, didn’t refute, and they didn’t dare to, preparing to leave with Murong Rui.
Murong Rui saw the bodyguards preparing to take her away, her face suddenly shifted between blue and white, feeling humiliated in front of Song Qiao, and instantly put on an extrely aggrieved expression, "Brother Jingchen, you can’t treat like this, my hand is sprained, if you’re not taking to the hospital, at least don’t do this to ."
Song Qiao and Ning Wan looked at Murong Rui like this, and the word ’childish’ popped into both friends’ minds as a fit description for her.
"Qiaoqiao, I’m a bit tired from standing, let’s go inside first." Ning Wan seed reluctant to stay here anymore, straightforwardly speaking to Song Qiao.
Song Qiao gave a slight nod, she also didn’t intend to watch how Lu Jingchen and Murong Rui would resolve this matter, turning to prepare to go inside with Ning Wan.
Lu Jingchen quickly reached out to grab her arm, although his face was expressionless, his tone was much gentler, "Co back with later."
Song Qiao paused in her steps, looked back at him, slightly frowned and said, "I plan to stay with my grandfather for a while, I don’t want to go back yet."
However, the man didn’t yield at all, continuing, "If you continue staying here, do you know how people will write about it? Not only will the Lu Family’s reputation be affected, but also your grandfather and you will be criticized by outsiders."
Song Qiao’s expression froze, but she didn’t continue the topic, instead, her gaze subtly fell on Murong Rui in the distance, whose face was extrely unpleasant, and she softly said, "Don’t you think you should solve the issue with your so-called ’sister’ now?"
In the end, Song Qiao stopped paying attention to him, directly shook off his grip on her arm, turned around, and went inside, with Ning Wan and Song Xi naturally joining her.
Xi Mohan stood there without saying a word, as he saw Ning Wan and Song Qiao going inside together, his long legs wrapped in a suit stepped forward, intending to follow, but paused when passing Lu Jingchen, with his expression as poker-faced as always, he blandly said, "Murong Rui seems difficult to deal with, I think it’s best to settle this before asking Song Qiao to go back with you, after all, with Murong Rui around, there would still be plenty of trouble if Song Qiao returns to the Lu Family, it might be better for her to stay here for so ti."
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Lu Jingchen to respond, and simply walked away.
...
What Lu Jingchen decided to do that day, Song Qiao didn’t ask. After finishing her previously approved marriage leave at ho, she directly returned to work at the company.
Previously, Lu Jingchen held a press conference, explaining the matter in a relatively tactful way, more or less saying Song Qiao was innocent, subsequently the news that initially targeted Song Qiao began to vanish.
Early in the morning, Song Qiao let the driver, who routinely drove Mu Shinian to and from classes, take her to the company downstairs. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Lu An’an standing there apparently waiting for her.
As soon as Lu An’an saw Song Qiao, she quickly walked up to her, nervously speaking, "I’m sorry Qiaoqiao... I didn’t know things would turn out this way at the wedding..."
Song Qiao paused, then smiled softly, saying, "An’an, you don’t have to apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you."
It’s just her own issue.
Then, not waiting for Lu An’an to speak, she glanced at the ti on her wrist, and casually said, "We’re getting late, let’s go clock in first, let’s have lunch together at noon."
Lu An’an naturally didn’t object, she had worried Song Qiao would beco distant because of the wedding incident, but seeing Song Qiao’s current deanor, her fears seed unwarranted.
She nodded, "Okay, lunch is on ."
Song Qiao nodded, about to say sothing, when she saw soone approaching, and her face imdiately darkened, becoming sowhat unpleasant.
Lu An’an noticed the newcor too, her face also darkened slightly, "Murong Rui, why are you here?"
