Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 294 Go for It, Husband (2)

Su Jianan found nothing from the trip with Jiang Shaokai.

They visited the retired policeman who had managed the case of Lu Boyan’s father. The old man said he was impressed about the case, because everyone was very sorry about his death.

The police did suspect the cause of the accident, but the investigation was carried out step by step, and every step was as smooth as the program was unlocked, and everything was reasonably explained.

They couldn’t find any faults, and Hong Qing’s attitude of admitting his mistakes was also very good; he even gave up appealing after the verdict was made.

After Hong Qing was sent to prison, the police was not in charge of him after that. They did not even know when Hong Qing was released.

As for the trace of Hong Qing after being released, no one knew.

Su Jianan returned with disappointment and met Lu Boyan when she arrived at the door.

Lu Boyan had just arrived home and handed Su Jianan’s car keys to Uncle Qian. Then he asked her, “Where have you been?”

Su Jianan answered simply, “I just went out. Right, my brother said that you were going to visit the company’s directors today, how did it go?”

“They promised not to sell the company’s stock for the time being,” Lu Boyan said while looking at the thick snow on the ground; then he pulled Su Jianan’s hand. “It’s cold outside, come in.”

Su Jianan breathed a sigh of relief, and she followed Lu Boyan into the door.

As long as the shareholders still trusted Lu Boyan and continued to hold the company’s stock, Lu Enterprises’ situation would not be too bad.

Entering the house and changing shoes, Uncle Xu walked over and said: “Young Master, Young Madam, Mr. Mu is here.”

Mu Sijue sat in the living room and greeted Su Jianan, then looked at Lu Boyan. “Should we go to the study?”

“No,” Lu Boyan said, taking Su Jianan’s hand and sitting down. “Just say it.”

Mu Sijue was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth, “Xu Youning and I checked the contractor who was interrogated by the police. He was not interrogated thoroughly, but was nervous when asked about the confessions provided to the police.”

“Kang Ruicheng had something on them and threatened them to push all their responsibilities to Lu Enterprises.” Lu Boyan had already guessed and he gradually looked cold. He said, “They would not overturn the confession even if I go to talk to them.”

Because Lu Enterprises was in jeopardy, Lu Boyan’s status had become very subtle—if he could survive, he would still be the omnipotent god; but if he couldn’t, he would be broke and lose his current life.

No one would put his own future on a person whose future was uncertain. At the moment, they were more willing to believe in Kang Ruicheng; naturally, they would be controlled by him, and passed the buck to Lu Enterprises.

Mu Sijue looked worried. He said, “If the police decide based on these confessions that hand all responsibility for this accident to Lu Enterprises, then…”

Mu Sijue did not finish, but his subtext was well known to everyone.

If the responsibility for the collapse accident was all on Lu Enterprises, then Lu Boyan would not only lose credibility, but the real estate under development and those for sale would all become troubles, like beasts ready counterattack Lu Enterprises.

Lu Boyan would lose his career and everything he had.

A uneasiness spread in Su Jianan’s heart.

Before going to sleep, she was lying in bed for a long time, and could not sleep anyway.

When Lu Boyan came back from the study, he saw Su Jianan holding the quilt and looking at the ceiling. He laid beside her. Su Jianan snuggled into his arms like a worm, holding his waist tightly.

He was planning to hide everything from her, just because he didn’t want to see her worried.

Lu Boyan held her tightly. “As long as I find a bank that is willing to lend, I can handle everything. Don’t worry, just do what you always do, okay?”

Su Jianan nodded, and Lu Boyan touched her head with satisfaction. He said, “You should sleep now.”

“…” Su Jianan smiled and closed her eyes.

The next day, Lu Boyan became busier than before.

He had appeased the partners, and strived to let the company’s other businesses go smoothly, so that the company would not be shut down; he was also dealing with the negative impacts of the collapse accidents and the tax evasion, and visiting the loan executives of each bank…

Countless things were pressed on him, and Su Jianan couldn’t help with anything. She could only take care of him after he got home, and cheer him up when he went out the next day.

Of course, she did not forget what she was going to do.

However, Uncle Jiang did not bring good news. He only found that after Hong Qing was released from prison, he changed his name and moved his family registration. As for Hong Qing’s current name and where he had moved to, there was no way to find out.

At the moment, they had lost the only clue of his name, and they didn’t even know where to start.

So, she could only watch Kang Ruicheng go unpunished?

Su Jianan didn’t dare to show her disappointment at home, but at least she didn’t need to hide it in front of Jiang Shaokai.

She rested on the desk and felt as if she were walking in a white fog. She was unable to grasp anything, and could not determine her direction…

A female colleague knocked on the door and said, “Let’s have dinner tonight, to introduce my fiancé to you.”

Su Jianan was not in the mood, but still squeezed a smile. “OK.”

She was in a bad mood and she could not spread it to others.

When she got off work, Su Jianan had sent a text message to Lu Boyan saying that she would like to have dinner with her colleagues. After half an hour, he replied, telling her to have fun, and that he had to go home later.

Unexpectedly, it was actually a five-star restaurant. Jiang Shaokai smiled and teased his female colleague, “Your fiancé is rich.”

“Stop it,” the female colleague said, giving a sweet smile and slightly pushing Jiang Shaokai, “He’s nothing compared to you.”

The group of people was seated in a private room. The female colleague introduced her fiancé to everyone. They sweetly held their hands together, which made people very jealous.

Su Jianan felt inexplicably depressed, and she found an excuse to leave the room. She went to the rooftop garden on the top floor of the hotel.

Maybe it was because of the cold weather, there was no one on the rooftop. She had just happened to find a place to sit, but inadvertently saw a man and woman who were entangled behind the flowers. After faintly hearing the sound, she was stunned and was ready to leave.

She didn’t expect to have been discovered. The man in the suit came out to ask her loudly, “Stop! Who are you?”

Su Jianan turned back and saw a familiar figure following the man out of the flowers—Han Ruoxi.

She was secretly surprised. Before she said anything, Han Ruoxi smiled and took the man’s hand. “Ah Ze, she is not some third-rate magazine paparazzi, she’s the wife of my former boss.”

“Mrs. Lu?” The man’s tight eyebrows went up and apologized, “I am very sorry, I thought you were…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Su Jianan interrupted the man, “I shouldn’t have bothered you.”

She turned around and went downstairs by the elevator. When the elevator door was about to close, a pair of well-maintained hands reached in and the elevator door moved again to both sides.

Han Ruoxi stepped into the elevator elegantly, looking at Su Jianan up and down. “Do you still have the mood to eat here?”

Su Jianan smiled and said, “When did you start to care about my mood?”

“Hey—” Han Ruoxi’s beautiful and glamorous face was full of disdain, “Don’t you want to ask me about the relationship with that man?”

Su Jianans said calmly, “I don’t mind about other people’s business.”

“But, you need to know this thing,” Han Ruoxi stared at Su Jianan and her eyes started to look fierce, “He has been chasing me for almost a year. I just promised to date him these days. He listened to me very much—Mrs. Lu, you can remember this.”

At that time, the descending elevator door opened, Su Jianan held down the door and smiled. “If you came to give me the good news, then… congratulations, Miss Han.”

She walked out of the elevator and didn’t see a cool smile on Han Ruo’s face, which made her look like a snake.

After dinner, everyone wanted to have more fun. Some people proposed to go to the KTV; Su Jianan declined and everyone understood, so they asked her to drive home safely.

It was past eleven o’clock when Su Jianan was back at her home. Lu Boyan returned in the early hours of the morning. The difference from the past was that he smelled like he had drunk a lot that day.

He was not a person who would drink alcohol to drown his sorrows. So it was mostly due to entertainment.

But she knew that he didn’t like to drink. In the past, no one dared to ask him to drink at the dinner table. At that moment, he seemed like he had drunk quite a bit… Su Jianan couldn’t bear to think about it anymore.

Lu Boyan no longer moved after he fell onto the bed. Su Jianan undid his tie and several of his shirt buttons, then took off his shoes. She later patted his face and asked, “Would you like to take a shower?”

Lu Boyan put her in his arms as soon as he reached out. “Honey…”

He only called her that way when he was drunk, and at that moment, his voice was filled with infinite fatigue.

Su Jianan felt so terrible and was trying to put the quilt over him. He suddenly acted like he was looking for a sense of security in her and leaned against her closely, then his tightened eyebrows started to relax.

Su Jianan finally knew how Lu Boyan felt like when he was holding her, so she gently patted his back to appease him. “I am here, just sleep.”

She didn’t know if he had heard it, but soon he stopped moving, and breathed peacefully.

Su Jianan could not sleep for a long time.

Insomnia directly led to oversleeping the next day. When Su Jianan woke up, Lu Boyan had already left. A note was left on the bedside. The note with firm handwriting said: ‘I went to the company and asked for half-day leave for you. Have some rest.’

Su Jianan fell back to the bed, but then she decided to get up, and asked Uncle Xu to help her prepare ingredients while eating breakfast. Then she was planning to head to the police station and leave lunch for Lu Boyan on the way to work; otherwise she would not know when he would have something to eat because of him being so busy.

After the meal was prepared, she put it in an insulated food carrier, then she drove straight to Lu Enterprises.

Although the media still focused on the Fanting Garden accident, there were not a large number of reporters stuck at the entrance of the company. Su Jianan parked the car and took the insulated box upstairs, then ran into Lu Boyan and Shen Yuechuan after getting out of the elevator.

They turned their backs to her and hurried to some place, and she only heard Shen Yuechuan say to Lu Boyan, “I contacted Fang Qize of Huinan Bank. He promised to talk to you at the cocktail party the day after tomorrow. I can’t feel the sincerity of cooperation by his tone, and I don’t know what conditions he will mention.”

“Go first…”

Only two words were spoken; Lu Boyan’s sound suddenly stopped as well as his step.

He turned back without warning—Su Jianan was exposed to his sight.

She lowered her shoulders for a second and looked disappointed. “I wanted to scare you.”

But after all, she clearly did not make any sound. How did Lu Boyan know that she was behind him?
