Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Director Lu Shoots Himself in the Foot Again
He had just finished roaring when he suddenly felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Looking up, he happened to see Xia Weibao’s little head retracting back.
His face changed, and he suddenly stood up and quickly chased after her.
Seeing Xia Weibao being scolded and walking out, the five beautiful secretaries were very pleased.
They were thinking of rushing to the forefront to join forces in smearing their boss and topple the Main Wife!
But before they could even step out of the secretarial office, they saw Lu Hualiang coming out in a hurry and then pulling Xia Weibao back in.
Luckily, they were slow in their steps, or they would’ve been caught red-handed, and their secret affair would be exposed!
“Wife, did you come looking for me?”
After pulling Xia Weibao back in, Lu Hualiang turned around and pinned her against the door.
Xia Weibao was frightened, her face blushed, and her heart raced.
In front of her was him, and behind her was the door; their bodies were almost pressed together.
This gesture was too intimate.
So, she placed both her small hands against his chest and gently pushed him away a bit.
It was rare for her to come looking for him; even the most important matters could wait!
“Then why were you just now…”
Lu Hualiang inwardly regretted it, a misstep!
He thought it was that suicidal Yang Li.
If he had known it was her, he wouldn’t even have had enough time to welcome her personally, let alone have the heart to roar at her.
He looked a bit unnatural, “I thought it was Yang Li just now.”
“Oh,” Xia Weibao replied, her eyes darting around as she thought about how to begin.
Asking for money was something she had never done in her two lifetimes.
“Do you need my help with something?”
That hesitant expression clearly indicated she had encountered a big problem.
Lu Hualiang’s masculinity instantly swelled with pride; it wasn’t easy, his wife finally needed him.
Xia Weibao nodded with embarrassment, “Director Lu, I want to borrow some money from you…”
Lu Hualiang frowned; hadn’t he given her the Crystal Vice Card, with no limit?
Did she not realize this?
He instinctively wanted to tell her that the card represented not only a status but was also an Infinity Card.
But on second thought, what came to his lips was, “How much.”
He had intended to give it outright, but if he said it was a loan, wouldn’t that mean she owed him a favor?
This way, their relationship would get complicated.
Xia Weibao held up one finger, “Ten million, is that okay?”
Lu Hualiang looked troubled, “Wife, the company has recently encountered financial issues…”
His intention was to make Xia Weibao feel like he was lending the money with great difficulty, so she would be extremely grateful to him.
However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than Xia Weibao turned and walked away.
“Then forget it, I’ll borrow from someone else.”
She was already feeling too embarrassed to ask, and now that he mentioned the difficulty, it was better to let it go.
She would think of another way.
He caught her in one motion, “The financial crisis is over; you can have as much as you want.”
This wife’s emotional intelligence is just too low to even joke around with.
Yet Xia Weibao insisted on leaving, “No need, no need, don’t make it difficult for yourself, I can think of other ways.”
“It’s not difficult!”
Here it came again, that feeling of shooting himself in the foot…
“Really, it’s not necessary, I didn’t realize you were so poor.”
Thwack, a tiny arrow of heartache hit his pride.
So in his wife’s eyes, he was that poor…
Huaxia’s richest man, and yet she called him poor…
Sorrow flowed backward into a river.
To salvage his image, Lu Hualiang casually tossed out a pile of Black Gold Cards, “All for you, spend them as you like.”
