My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 357: Older Sister Jian, I Think That Shao Ming Must Have Met With Huge Trouble

The service staff member shook his head confidently. “At that time when Mrs. Lu lost her soul while she knocked into me, her entire body was shaking. There were tears on her face, and she is definitely not putting up a show.”

Tang Xueli felt relieved at this moment.

“Big Boss, that wicked person Zhou Zhilei might still be unaware we switched the cure out for drugs. As long as Lu Shaoming consumes it, he will have no chance of survival,” his subordinate happily exclaimed.

Tang Xueli sat on the sofa while he snorted coldly, “If he wanted the cure, did he think it would be so easy? Heh, let’s all just wait for the news of Lu Shaoming in deep trouble then. Also, contact our powerful allies in the northwest. They will be our base camp. Once Lu Shaoming ends up in trouble, it would be hard for us to the fallout. We will make a quick retreat to the northwest region. Coincidentally, a big sales transaction will go through.”

The subordinate looked at Tang Xueli with admiration in his eyes as he said, “Big Boss, Lu Shaoming definitely would not have thought that the cure is not in your hands. You did not bring it back, and left it in the large base camp in the northwest, and as for the address of the big base camp in the northwest, no one knows about it.”

Tang Xueli laughed and said, “This is known as there can never be too much deception in war. Oh right; wait until Lu Shaoming comes out from that room, and send someone to bring Zhou Zhilei back for me.”

“Big Boss, why do you still want that wicked woman?”

Tang Xueli took a cigarette, and he held it in his mouth. He squinted his eyes as he said, “Heh, Lu Shaoming sending a picture message to me is a challenge. He wants me to handle that wicked person. Since that is the case, I will take responsibility. I will bring that wicked woman back and gift her to you all.”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and then burst out in great laughter. “Hahah! Big Boss, isn’t this a little bad? Our brothers…”

Tang Xueli crossed his legs roughly as he said, “You should keep it if I gift it to you. That wicked woman is still a daughter of a wealthy family. I doubt that any of you have touched a person like that in your entire life. She is not in the same league as those from the red light districts. When that time comes, don’t keep my feelings in mind.”

“Yes, thank you, Big Boss.”

…

Ning Qing sat in the taxi, and she said to the driver, “Driver, let’s go quickly.”

Jian Han saw the tears on Ning Qing’s face as she asked in concern, “Ning Qing, what is wrong with you?”

Ning Qing stretched her hand out to wipe the tears on her face. She looked sideways. Her eyes were dry and did not have any sign of her crying, but her entire body was cold and shaking. “Older Sister Jian, I think that Shaoming must have gotten himself into huge trouble.”

Jian Han was taken aback. “What is wrong?”

“I saw Shaoming with Zhou Zhilei in a hotel room. Zhou Zhilei had already removed all of her clothing.”

Jian Han: “…” She stretched out her hand to touch Ning Qing’s forehead. “Ning Qing, what is wrong with you? Do you have a fever. Did you hurt your head with the heat?”

Ning Qing held Jian Han’s hand tightly. She curled up her lips with a pale face. There was a calm and witty glow in her eyes as she said, “Older Sister Jian, I know that you find it weird. Because I saw my own husband with another woman inside a hotel room, I didn’t get angry or try to expose the mistress; I actually thought of him getting into trouble.”

Jian Han nodded her head. She did feel weird. If any another woman met with this situation, they would not react like her.

But Jian Han noticed that Ning Qing was clear and concise. She was calm. Jian Han also felt relieved and hurriedly asked, “Ning Qing, what is going on exactly? Come and tell me.”

Ning Qing shook her head. “Older Sister Jian, actually I also do not know what is going on exactly. It’s all just a bunch of assumptions. This person, Lu Shaoming, we have been married for two years. If you were to tell me that he has cheated on me, I would never believe you. If this were a normal day, if I saw him and another woman go into a hotel room, I would definitely barge in without a single word. I would face the situation immediately and want him to explain even more.”

After she explained it, if she felt that he was making sense, she would choose to believe him.

It would be best for a woman not to use their imagination and make up a fuss out of nothing. No matter what, she would make herself keep calm. Love was something that was new and fresh. It was a feeling of rashness due to hormones, but marriage for something that had to last for an entire lifetime, it needed a long period of trust and trade offs to maintain it.

She would not speculate about him with another woman. Of course, being petty and jealous was something else.

Furthermore, he was together with Zhou Zhilei…

He was not a man lacking dignity.

There was also something else. Last night, on the peak of the mountain, he tortured her for such a long period of time. He was clear with what he did. He slept in the wee hours of the morning, and he left at dawn. Even a man made out of metal was also unable to stand it.

Even if he wanted to cheat, he should have rested a day or two first.

“Then Ning Qing, did you walk into the room?”

“No, I stood at the door to give him a tight slap.”

Jian Han widened her eyes, and she looked at Ning Qing. She could not control herself. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she said, “Ning Qing, you…are…so…great. Since you trust Young Master Lu, why did you still have to hit him?”

“Because at that time, I stepped into the hotel, the hotel was very quiet. There were not many people around, but when I went up six floors, I felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at me. The moment Lu Shaoming opened the door, he did not look guilty, but he did look anxious. He asked me to leave. At that time, Zhou Zhilei also saw me. She used an extremely mocking and very satisfied gaze to look at me, as if Lu Shaoming were already prey in her territory. So I guessed that Lu Shaoming and Zhou Zhilei must have agreed to meet here to do something. Zhou Zhilei threatened him, and Lu Shaoming could not let me know about it?”

Jian Han continued her words as she said, “If this is really true, then your appearance is an accident, it might well have ruined Young Master Lu’s plan, so you chose to use the quickest and most direct method — you gave him a slap and turned to leave.”

“Yeah.” Ning Qing nodded her head. She looked at Jian Han and contemplated for a moment. “Older Sister Jian, I suddenly thought of something just now. Ever since Lu Shaoming returned from his plane crash, he started to distance himself from me. My parents-in-law and Older Brother Dayuan all asked me to distance myself from him. He also asked me to give him some time, as if I were his biggest threat in his life.

“There were still some other things that happened in the midst of everything. For example, Zhou Zhilei and Tang Xueli were in a relationship, and Shaoming gave Tang Sitian the opportunity to come near him. Everything is unfolding with Tang Xueli in the center…”

“Ning Qing, what do you want to say?” Jian Han asked.

“What I want to say is, Older Sister Jian, if I’m not wrong, that plane crash was plotted by Tang Xueli and Zhou Zhilei. Lu Shaoming was their victim, and he fell sick. The root of the illness is me. Shaoming was hence unable to get close with me, furthermore, I daringly make the assumption that this kind of illness has a cure. The cure is in Zhou Zhilei and Tang Xueli’s hands.”

Jian Han’s eyes lit up. She had to say, after hearing Ning Qing speak, everything made sense. Every behaviour of Lu Shaoming was all because he wanted to lay his hands on the cure.

“Ning Qing.” Jian Han stretched out her hand to cup Ning Qing’s shoulder. “What should we do now?”

Ning Qing looked at the heavy rain pouring outside the window. “Let’s go home and wait for news,” she said softly.

“Wait?”

“Yeah, I believe there will be news very quickly. This time, no matter what happens, we will not take action. The only thing we have to do is believe in him.”

“Okay.” Jian Han hugged Ning Qing as she said, “Ning Qing, I will stay in your house to accompany you or a few days, and I can look after Aunt’s health at the same time.”

Ning Qing quickly smiled and said, “Older Sister Jian, thank you.”

…

The next day, Ning Qing woke up and received a piece of news that shocked everyone in T City. It appeared that Lu Shaoming’s heart went into shock while he was in the office. When they sent him to the hospital to rescue him, they were unable to revive him successfully.

After that, “Young Master Lu’s death” created a large stir among everyone in the city.

As Ning Qing was going down the stairs, Ning Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing were both sitting on the sofa in the living room. Ning Zhenguo had Little Qinwen in his arms, and Yue Wanqing was wiping her tears away.

“Dad, Mum…” Ning Qing went forward.

Yue Wanqing saw her daughter and quickly came forward to hug Ning Qing. She sadly cried, “Qingqing, this child Shaoming… How could it be? He was fine two days ago, and today he suddenly…. Qingqing, you have to persevere. Little Qinwen is Shaoming’s only descendant. You have to bring up Little Qin Wen up well…”

“Mum.” Ning Qing patted her mother’s shoulder. Her face was a little pale, but her eyes were energetic. “Mum, Shaoming is not dead. Don’t cry anymore.”

Yue Wanqing cried even harder upon hearing her words. “Qingwing, what is wrong with you? Mum knows that you are unable to accept this blow…”

Ning Qing let go of Yue Wanqing and went to carry Little Qin Wen. She kissed her son’s soft, small, fragrant face, smiled, and said, “Dad, Mum, you do not need to worry about the rumors. Stay in for the next few days.”

“Qingqing…” NIng Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing both wanted to speak further.

“Uncle, Aunty.” Jian Han came forward to comfort them. “Ning Qing knows what she is doing. Ning Qing and Young Master Lu have gone through so many difficulties. When Young Master Lu was involved in the plane crash, Ning Qing made it through that ordeal. We all have to believe Ning Qing.”

“This…”

At this moment, there was the sound of a phone ringing, Ning Qing’s phone was ringing.

Ning Qing carried Little Qinwen in one arm and answered the phone with her other hand.

“Hello, Xiao Zhou.”

“Hello, Ning Qing. I saw the news. Young Master Lu… What is going on exactly? The landline at the studio has been jammed with calls. Ning Qing, you…”

“Xiao Zhou, continue filming <Lurker> like normal. As for the matter involving Lu Shaoming, we will not make any statement on that. We have to lay low for a while.”

“Ning Qing…”

“Lu Shaoming did not die. Xiao Zhou, believe me. Help me with something. Help me to investigate the situation Lu Corporation is in right now.”

After hanging up, Ning Qing took the remote control and switched the tv on.

The TV was full of news coverage mentioning the death of Lu Shaoming. The door of the hospital was crowded with a swarm of journalists. Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing walked out from the hospital. Both of them were wearing masks, and they had bodyguards to escort them. They did not answer the journalists who were chasing them for answers, but their red rimmed eyes could show their sadness and depressed feelings.

Ning Qing’s brain started to stir quickly. Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing were both low key people normally. They did not directly announce anything to the public, but their departure from the hospital revealed the truth; Lu Shaoming has passed away.

It was different from the plane crash. Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing were pretending to be high key while staying low key.

They had the intention to mislead the public.

At this moment, her phone rang again, Xiao Zhou returned her call very quickly.

“Hello, Ning Qing, I just went to check, Lu Corporation has gone into a dark atmosphere, but every department is working as usual, and they are not engaging in any abnormal behaviour.”

“Then what about the American side?”

“Ning Qing, after Young Master Lu came back from the plane crash, he revamped the Lu Corporation. He punished those who had scheming and speculating thoughts in the company. He first retracted the shares held in the hands of those elders, then axed the management power in those elder’s hands. Those elders were left with nothing and could not instigate anymore. Lu Corporation controlled solely by Young Master Lu.”

Ning Qing put her phone away, and she touched her son’s soft little hand. Softly, she said, “Little Qinwen, your daddy is busy again. But, he did say that he would be back very soon… Little Qinwen, in the future, you have to be the same as your Daddy. Your Daddy, he debuted his first company in America when he was 16 years old. He took the entire Lu Corporation back into his hands when he was 32 years old. He has consolidated his power. He is your role model, someone whom you should be proud of…”

Ning Qing was relieved. This time, whether or not Lu Shaoming was around, the Lu Corporation and Lu family could be handed over to him without a single worry.
