Just as he was dialing out, a sudden commotion erupted from behind him, as if a group of people was approaching.
Instinctively, he hung up the phone and looked back, only to see the incoming group. He was slightly taken aback, not expecting Jian Xia and the others to appear.
He glanced at the newcors; apart from Jian Xia, the others were all high-ranking mbers of Huayi dia and a few foreigners.
Upon seeing Lu Jingchen, Jian Xia was also surprised. She was initially listening to soone beside her, but she interrupted them and quickly walked up to Lu Jingchen in her high heels, a look of surprise on her face as she asked, "Lu Jingchen, what are you doing here?"
Just as Lu Jingchen was about to speak, Jian Xia seed to think of sothing, then laughed and said, "Oh, are you here to see your Song Qiao? Isn’t it work ti now? You actually left work to show your affection here?"
Looking at Jian Xia in front of him, honestly, it’s been a while since they’ve t. Even when he and Song Qiao held their wedding, Jian Xia wasn’t in An City, reportedly taken abroad by Bo Leshen, though he wasn’t sure why.
After all, those were matters between Jian Xia and Bo Leshen. Although he had a good relationship with Jian Xia, it wasn’t his place to interfere.
Now, looking at Jian Xia, Lu Jingchen noticed her ntal state seed not so good, as if she hadn’t rested well for a long ti. Despite the heavy foundation, the dark circles under her eyes were still visible.
Previously, when Song Qiao hadn’t rested enough, she had a lot of dark circles under her eyes too. He would help her remove her makeup while she was asleep and saw her covering the dark circles with foundation, so he noticed right away.
With his thin lips pressing together, Lu Jingchen put his phone in his pocket and looked at her, asking instead of answering, "When did you return to the country? Did Bo Leshen not co back with you?"
Just yesterday, they signed a contract with Bo Leshen’s company, and Assistant Xue ntioned that Bo Leshen wasn’t in the country; their vice president’s assistant signed it. Assistant Xue casually asked about Bo Leshen’s whereabouts. The assistant, probably owing to a good rapport with Assistant Xue—since many of that vice president’s assistant’s skills were learned from Assistant Xue, who sowhat acted like a ntor—readily shared.
The assistant told Assistant Xue that Bo Leshen had gone abroad half a month ago, allegedly because a woman who had been in the United States and under the Bo Family’s concern for years had woken up from her coma.
Assistant Xue ntioned this upon returning. He had heard a bit about this woman, rumored to be Bo Leshen’s first love. He didn’t think much of it, considering Jian Xia wasn’t soone easily bullied. He knew well that Jian Xia was the kind of woman who would never let go of what’s hers and would fight fiercely to keep it.
But seeing Jian Xia now, her state seed rather off.
Sure enough, upon hearing the na "Bo Leshen," Jian Xia’s face changed slightly, but she forced a sowhat strained smile, saying, "Maybe he’s abroad, sweetly occupied, so why ntion him? You haven’t told why you’re here yet. You’re not really looking for your Song Qiao to flaunt your love, are you? You’ve been married for a while now, haven’t you finished your honeymoon?"
When Lu Jingchen got married, she was not in the country; she was overseas handling that newly awakened little fragile flower. Even though that little flower had just woken up, her combat power was unexpectedly high, which caught her off-guard. So, she was entirely focused on dealing with the little flower, leaving her no ti to pay attention to dostic matters. Today, she ca straight to the company, without a break, after getting off the plane.
Regarding this question, Lu Jingchen chose not to answer directly, as it was inconvenient to do so. Instead, he gestured with his chin at the two foreigners behind her who were whispering to each other and changed the topic, "Did you bring people here for an inspection?"
