Chapter 324 Scapegoat
Yang Wenqi felt that no matter the old lady's urging for labor, or her fruitless attempts to have a child, or anything else, none of them could compare to the pain she felt when Chu Zeyan rejected her. She felt so uncomfortable that she would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, and then think of what he said, and couldn't help but grab the pillow tightly to suppress the anger that was about to roar out.
After repeatedly chewing on the emotions that could not be expressed, she felt that if it were not for Lu Xingchen, Chu Zeyan would not treat her like this. Why did people all over the world like Lu Xingchen, and even the old lady who hated Xu Fanghua so much still trusted her?
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she could not keep Lu Xingchen any longer.
But she couldn't touch her, otherwise Lu Dingsheng, who already had a son, would most likely really turn against her, and Lu Ethan Lu had just returned to the Lu family, and the old lady must be on guard against everyone in the Lu family, including her, so she couldn't use Lu Yiheng to deal with Lu Xingchen at this time.
So……
The phone suddenly rang in the middle of the night.
When Yang Wenqi saw the call alert showed that the call was from abroad, she thought it was a harassment call and hung up. But another call came in. Although it was not the same number, the location was still New York.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that Ethan Lu’s biological mother was now with Lu Dingsheng, so she called her to protest? After staring at the caller ID angrily for a while, Yang Wenqi sneered and picked up the phone.
She put the phone to her ear without saying anything, wanting to hear what the other party would say.
However, a voice with a voice changer suddenly came from the phone, and said to her straight to the point: "You want to get Lu Xingchen, but you don't want to expose yourself. Just let Zhang Qiaoai know that Chu Zeyan likes Lu Xingchen."
"who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that Zhang Qiaoai will go crazy if she knows Chu Zeyan likes Lu Xingchen."
"you……"
Toot toot toot
The other party has hung up the phone.
Yang Wenqi looked at the hung up phone for a long time, and immediately looked through the call records again. Regardless of the fact that it was the middle of the night, she took a screenshot and sent it to Shen Mingzhen, then called her and asked her to help her find the origin of this phone number.
Shen Mingzhen was awakened from her sleep, but she quickly came to her senses and asked her, "What happened?"
This matter concerns Lu Xingchen, and Shen Mingzhen must not be allowed to know about it, at least not before she understands the situation. Because if Shen Mingzhen knew about it, she would only ask her to consider the overall situation and stay calm.
So, Yang Wenqi replied: “This phone call harassed me in the middle of the night. I suspect that she was done by Ethan Lu’s biological mother who is abroad. Especially since Stephen Lu is also abroad, I suspect that she might be with him.”
The next day, Shen Mingzhen gave her a reply. She asked a top hacker to check, but the conclusion was that the call was blocked by many routers and it was difficult to trace the source.
After hearing this, Yang Wenqi said, “Forget it, Ethan Lu is back, and I can’t defend against another woman, so it doesn’t matter.”
In fact, she had asked others to find Zhang Qiaoai.
The woman who was obsessed with Chu Zeyan to the point of madness, during the period when Chu Zeyan frequently changed girlfriends, several of them who had been with Chu Zeyan for a while were tortured by her in various ways. Being sent to the hospital was a slightly better outcome. The worst one is now in a mental hospital.
Therefore, she only needed to find an unimportant person and tell Zhang Qiaoai that Chu Zeyan liked Lu Xingchen, and then she could sit back and wait for the show to happen. Besides, this matter would never be traced back to her.
A few days after New Year's Day, Lu Xingchen caught a cold. His other symptoms were fine, but his throat hurt as if he had swallowed a razor blade. He went to the hospital to see a doctor and got some medicine. Although he felt better after taking it for a few days, he was not fully recovered and his voice was always hoarse.
For this reason, Li Zhen took her to the hospital for further examination. There were no other abnormalities, and the whole family felt relieved.
In addition to prescribing medicine, the doctor also asked her to reduce the use of her voice as much as possible in the near future, drink more water, pay attention to her diet, etc.
Lu Xingchen was also puzzled. She didn't talk much on a normal day, and she didn't over-exert her voice when talking at work, so why did her voice become so incredibly hoarse?
In order to take better care of Lu Xingchen, Wang Yaning asked her to live in Cuiyu Manor. In addition to making light meals for her every day, she also made her a pot of throat-soothing tea.
So Lu Xingchen has been carrying a large pot of tea with him every day recently and drinking it wherever he goes.
When her voice had recovered about 70% of its normal strength, Li Zhen felt relieved and went to Shenzhen City for his year-end business trip.
Not only Zhencheng Company, but also Zhixing Company has entered the year-end work stage. Everyone is working busy and fulfillingly. Although Zhixing Company was established not long ago and many large projects are still in progress, the company still gave everyone very considerable year-end bonuses based on the project budget.
Lin Huanxi was sitting next to Zhao Wenjing, and she turned around and was about to ask her about her work.
Zhao Wenjing's cell phone rang. Zhao Wenjing, who had been working on the computer, looked down at the phone, picked it up, opened WeChat, and exclaimed "Wow".
Seeing this, Lin Huanxi curiously asked, "What's wrong? Has your year-end bonus arrived?"
Zhao Wenjing looked at her excitedly while holding her phone. "It's only a matter of time before the year-end bonus arrives, but this is too much, haha."
"What is too much? Tell me quickly."
Zhao Wenjing said excitedly: "Didn't Xu Nanhe win a prize in the competition last year..."
"Oh, I know. You're awesome! Have you received your share of the profits?"
"Yes!" Zhao Wenjing excitedly moved closer to the screen and whispered to Lin Huanxi, "A total of more than six million."
"Ah ah ah..."
The two excitedly grabbed each other's hands across the screen.
Lin Huanxi then said, "Hurry up, let your Xu Nanhe treat us, I want to give him a good beating."
"What's the problem?" Zhao Wenjing put her hand on her chest, "Let me calm down." After a moment she said, "I've decided. This Saturday, you can eat wherever you want, have fun wherever you want, and bring whoever you want. Xu Nanhe will treat you!"
Saturday night.
Before Lu Xingchen went to eat, after Li Zhen repeatedly reminded him over the phone to avoid certain foods and not to eat anything random, he drove to the place where Xu Nanhe and Zhao Wenjing were having dinner.
Everyone was really not polite to Zhao Wenjing and Xu Nanhe, and went to the expensive Zhuoyue. Song Boxian happened to be in the store, but before he could even open his mouth, Lin Huanxi said, "Brother Xian, there's no need to give us a discount. We're going to eat up all of Xu Nanhe's bonus today!"
Lin Huanxi, Cheng Xiao and a group of people walked towards their reserved seats laughing.
Lu Xingchen and Song Boxian, who were walking in the crowd, nodded and greeted each other, then followed them over.
As soon as they sat down and the dishes weren't even served yet, Lin Huanxi asked Xu Nanhe, "Hey, we said we were going to sing after dinner. AK's business is booming recently, and we don't always have a big private room for so many people. Don't try to save money by telling us that there's no private room and you want to move to another place."
Cheng Xiao: "Yes, we will lock up our AK bags tonight and not go anywhere."
Zhao Wenjing said disdainfully: "Who are you looking down on? It's already been booked, right?"
