Lu Jingchen’s face became even gloomier, his thin lips pressed tightly, especially the pen in his hand, which seemed slightly deformed. Faintly visible on the back of his tightly clenched fist, veins were bulging. In those deep eyes, it seemed as if emotions were being forcefully suppressed, unable to be released.
Upon seeing his boss , Assistant Xue was instantly startled, feeling an urge to immediately flee the office.
He wondered what if the boss couldn’t control his anger and killed him to silence him?
After a long while, Lu Jingchen seemed to have finally suppressed the rage in his heart. He stood up, picked up the suit jacket on the desk, and said with barely any emotional fluctuation in his voice, "Cancel all arrangements for today, call the driver, go to the Mu Mansion."
Assistant Xue was initially startled but soon understood his boss’ meaning and nodded, "Okay."
However, just as they stepped out of the office, they encountered Murong Rui, who had just come from the elevator and was walking towards them. Upon seeing Lu Jingchen, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to him in her high heels, reached out both hands to clasp his arm, and with a wide smile said, "Jingchen brother, where are you going? I haven’t had lunch yet, can you accompany me?"
Seeing Murong Rui, Lu Jingchen involuntarily furrowed his eyebrows. The incidents at the wedding were still vivid in his mind, and he couldn’t help but blame Murong Rui for exposing those things at the wedding. After all, if it hadn’t been for Murong Rui revealing those issues, he and Song Qiao wouldn’t have reached this point. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
After all, he didn’t even know when it started, but he had already fallen in love with Song Qiao. Especially today at the villa, when Song Qiao straightforwardly asked for a divorce, he felt as if his heart was viciously cut out.
With no trace of a smile on his face, maintaining a seemingly indifferent demeanor throughout, he withdrew his arm from the girl’s grasp. The man’s thin lips parted slightly as he softly said, "I have other matters to attend to. If you want to have a meal, Assistant Xue can accompany you."
Saying this, he stepped forward with his suit-clad legs and headed towards the CEO’s exclusive elevator, exuding an aura of ’keep away’.
Assistant Xue froze, inwardly crying out, ’President, spare me, please. I don’t want to have a meal with Miss Murong. I’d rather you assign me more work, even if it means working overtime.’
Murong Rui didn’t even glance at Assistant Xue; instead, she stared at Lu Jingchen’s departing figure, dazed for a moment. Then, reacting quickly, she followed him in her high heels. Just as the elevator arrived, she entered with Lu Jingchen and urgently spoke, "Jingchen brother, I’ve been back for over a week now, and you haven’t had a meal with me. Did I do something that upset you?"
Lu Jingchen’s expression remained unchanged, but his look towards Murong Rui turned colder, his voice now tinged with a chill, "Shouldn’t you still be finishing your studies? Returning for so long could delay your academics. Tomorrow, I’ll have Assistant Xue book a flight back to England for you?"
Murong Rui’s face turned pale, staring blankly at the man in front of her. She initially wanted to reach out again to hold onto his arm, but because of his words, her hand froze mid-air, maintaining that position. After a long while, she seemed on the verge of crying, her voice soaked in endless grievances, "Jingchen brother, are you so unwilling to see me? It’s been over three years since I last saw you. Going to England, I’ve always been there all alone. Don’t you know how lonely I am there?"
Seemingly recalling something particularly heartbreaking, her tears suddenly began to fall from her eyes. She really started crying, her voice now filled with sobs, "Both my parents already don’t want me anymore. Jingchen brother, are you also planning to abandon me? If that’s really the case, it’d be better to let me just die. If I die, maybe I can be with my parents again, otherwise what’s the point of me living alone in this world?"
