He had just dialed out when suddenly, a noisy commotion arose from behind, sounding like quite a few people were walking this way.
Instinctively ending the call, he turned to look back and was taken aback to see who was approaching. He hadn’t expected it to be Jian Xia and the others.
He glanced briefly at the newcomers; aside from Jian Xia, the rest accompanying her were all senior executives from Huayi Media, along with a few foreigners.
Jian Xia, upon seeing Lu Jingchen, was also startled. She had been listening to someone speaking beside her but immediately cut them off and quickly walked up to Lu Jingchen in her high heels, with a surprised expression on her face asking, "Lu Jingchen, what are you doing here?"
Lu Jingchen was just about to speak when Jian Xia, as if recalling something, smiled and said, "Oh, are you here to see your beloved Song Qiao? Isn’t it working hours? Did you really leave work behind to come here and show off your love?"
Looking at Jian Xia in front of him, truth be told, it had been a long time since they all had met. Even during his wedding with Song Qiao, Jian Xia was not in An City. It was said that Bo Leshen had taken her abroad, though what exactly they went abroad for remained unclear.
After all, that was a matter between Jian Xia and Bo Leshen, and even though he was in good terms with Jian Xia, it wasn’t his place to intervene.
Now, looking at Jian Xia in front of him, Lu Jingchen noted that she seemed to be in poor spirits, as if she hadn’t rested well in a long time. Even with quite a bit of foundation on, the deep dark circles under her eyes were still visible.
Song Qiao used to have many dark circles under her eyes when she hadn’t rested well. He had helped her remove her makeup when she fell asleep and had seen her cover up the dark circles with foundation, so he could tell immediately. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
Tightening his lips, Lu Jingchen put his mobile phone into his pocket and countered without answering, "When did you return to the country? Did Bo Leshen not come back with you?"
Just yesterday, he had signed a contract with Bo Leshen’s company. Assistant Xue said Bo Leshen was not in the country; the contract was signed by the assistant to their company’s vice-president. Assistant Xue casually inquired about Bo Leshen’s whereabouts, and because the relationship between the assistant and Assistant Xue was good—after all, they didn’t have much work and many things the assistant had learned were taught by Assistant Xue, whom he almost considered a mentor.
So, when Assistant Xue asked, the assistant immediately informed him that Bo Leshen had left the country half a month ago. It was said that in the United States, a woman who had been in a coma for many years, closely watched by the Bo family, had finally woken up.
Assistant Xue had mentioned this to him when he returned, saying that woman was rumored to be Bo Leshen’s first love. At that time, he didn’t say much because, after all, Jian Xia was not a woman easily bullied. He was very aware that Jian Xia was the type of person who would fight with all her might for what she regarded as hers and never let go.
But now, looking at Jian Xia’s condition, it seemed to be not too good.
As expected, perhaps hearing the name ’Bo Leshen’ made Jian Xia’s complexion turn sour, but she quickly forced a rather strained smile and said, "Maybe he is abroad, keeping some tender beauty warm. Why bring him up? You still haven’t told me what you are doing here. Could it really be to flaunt your love with your Song Qiao? It’s been a long time since your wedding, haven’t you already returned from your honeymoon?"
Lu Jingchen was married when she was not in the country, but rather abroad dealing with that freshly awakened "white lotus". Even though the "white lotus" had just woken up, her capabilities were surprisingly high, beyond Jian Xia’s expectations. Thus, she was completely focused on dealing with the "white lotus" and had no time to pay attention to matters back home. She had headed straight to the office as soon as her plane landed today, and then followed those people here.
For this question, Lu Jingchen chose not to respond, and it wasn’t a good one to answer either. Instead, he pointed his chin at the two foreigners behind him who were whispering to each other, diverting the topic, "Are you here to conduct a site visit with these people?"
