"What’s wrong? What happened, why don’t you want to go home?" Chu Ci turned sideways, looking worriedly at Han Xi.
Han Xi looked downhearted and somewhat melancholy: "I’ll tell you once we’re back."
After all, Su Yan was still in the car, and she didn’t want to discuss her relationship issues in front of others.
Chu Ci nodded and glanced at Su Yan, who was resting with her eyes closed in the back seat: "Let’s take her home first."
Han Xi started the car, turned the steering wheel, and left the airport.
After dropping off Su Yan, Han Xi drove straight to Chu Ci’s villa. Although it wasn’t frequently inhabited, Chu Ci had arranged for a housekeeper to clean daily, so the place was particularly neat and clean.
After changing their shoes, Chu Ci didn’t bother unpacking and pulled Han Xi onto the sofa to start asking, "What on earth happened? Since the airport, I’ve felt you weren’t in a good mood."
In Han Xi’s clear eyes seemed to be hidden immense grievances and desolation. She looked at Chu Ci for a long time before finally revealing everything.
Chu Ci listened and became utterly uneasy, like a beast with bristled fur: "Break up, you need to cut ties with such a person immediately, and that woman, she’s really despicable and sordid, even daring to send you such things. Is she a pervert?"
Feeling Chu Ci’s concern and urgency, Han Xi’s heart felt warm. Even without family, at least she had friends; whatever happened, Chu Ci and Manman had her back.
Chu Ci took a deep breath, feeling physically uncomfortable with rage: "Quickly call Lu Jinghan and tell him you want to break up."
Han Xi suddenly felt a profound sense of helplessness, her damp eyes cast downward, thick eyelashes creating silhouettes against her fair skin.
"You wouldn’t have really fallen for Lu Jinghan, would you?"
Han Xi leaned her head on Chu Ci’s shoulder, a bitter smile pulling at her lips: "Do you think I’m such a fool, falling for someone in less than a month... But I seriously thought about it yesterday; he might not be right for me."
"Since it’s just liking and not love yet, break up quickly to save yourself future heartache."
Just like her own breakup with Shi Yu, it really felt like being skinned.
"Alright, don’t worry about me. I can handle it."
Chu Ci said nothing on the surface, but her heart wasn’t going to let it go. After all, she and Manman weren’t the type to let things slide.
Chu Ci made the excuse of going upstairs for a shower to call Li Manman, briefly explaining the situation. Li Manman had just gotten off a plane yesterday after knowing Chu Ci was coming back; she immediately booked a ticket to rush back.
Dragging her suitcase into a taxi, Li Manman closed the door, holding the phone between her cheek and shoulder with her left hand, her expression turning frighteningly grim: "We’ll meet in twenty minutes at the café downstairs at Lu Group. I’m going to call Lu Jinghan right now."
After hanging up, Li Manman told the driver the address, then dialed Lu Jinghan’s number.
Lu Jinghan was in his office dealing with documents when he saw the note on the phone screen beside his computer. He picked it up and pressed the answer button.
"Lu Jinghan, see you at the café downstairs at your company in twenty minutes. I need to talk to you."
Li Manman’s tone was anything but polite, as if Lu Jinghan was standing in front of her right then, she’d have pounced and bitten him.
