Chapter 83: Divorce and Remarriage

In the lobby downstairs of the Oteng Group, a woman with a serene face sat quietly on the sofa in the waiting area.

The white overhead light shone down on her fair and delicate face, making her skin look even whiter.

She sat alone in a corner, her back straight and her eyes as calm as water, adding a touch of coolness to her temperament.

The young receptionist on the first floor looked in the direction of the woman from time to time. She remembered that this beautiful woman came from Haowei Company to discuss cooperation with Mr. Lu.

I didn’t get to see Mr. Lu the last time I came here, so I came again today and waited for him from morning to afternoon.

Even though the CEO's office had already issued an order stating that President Lu had no time to see her, she still waited here without giving up.

The girl at the front desk looked away and shook her head slightly. There were too many people who wanted to see their President Lu every day, but the president of the Outeng Group was not someone these people could see whenever they wanted.

She just felt that as a worker, this woman had a hard time and had to run into obstacles every day.

"Miss An..." She walked over to refill the woman's water cup and said tactfully, "It's almost time to get off work. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for Mr. Lu today. Why don't you go back first?"

An Ning thanked him softly and looked down at the time on her phone. It was indeed late.

Then he turned around and looked in the direction of the president's special elevator. The elevator had not opened all day and the people inside had not come out.

As long as Lu Xiyan decides not to see her, he will have plenty of ways to avoid her.

But even though he had said that he didn't want to see her again, she had to come to him with a smug look on her face.

She couldn't lose this job, at least not now.

"I'll wait a little longer." An Ning smiled gently at the girl and asked, "What time does Mr. Lu usually come to the company in the morning?"

"Mr. Lu's time is uncertain." Perhaps because the woman's smile was so pretty, the girl at the front desk quietly reminded, "But Mr. Lu has a morning meeting next Monday. You can come at 8:30."

An Ning smiled lightly, "Okay, thank you."

......

Just as the girl at the front desk left the waiting area, a slender and beautiful figure came in from the lobby door.

The woman had a great figure, her red skirt swayed, and she walked like a lotus in her black high heels.

The slim-cut long skirt and calf-length skirt outline the perfect figure.

Her thick long hair is so well-groomed that every strand reveals exquisiteness. Her face is even more delicate and beautiful, and even her makeup is impeccable.

The staff in the lobby seemed to know her. When they saw her come in, they respectfully addressed her as "Miss Lu!"

Lu Qinghe was born in the Lu Group and can be called the number one socialite in Jinghai. Her every move and gesture exudes the grace and spirit of a rich family's daughter.

She nodded slightly, the corners of her lips raised slightly, "I'm looking for Lu Xiyan."

The only person who dares to address the chief CEO of the Oteng Group by name is the daughter of the Lu family, President Lu's sister.

The front desk clerk immediately informed her that Mr. Lu was in the office.

Just as Lu Qinghe was about to walk towards the elevator, his gaze suddenly looked towards the waiting area not far away. The moment his eyes fell on the woman, he met her gaze.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. Is it her?

An Ning didn't expect to see her here, and was a little surprised when she saw her.

When their eyes met, she immediately stood up, slightly curved her lips and nodded.

Lu Qinghe walked towards her in high heels, stood one meter away from her, and looked her up and down.

The woman in front of me has delicate features and a clean and calm temperament. She looks classy in a simple commuting outfit.

The woman's figure suddenly overlapped with that of a girl in Lu Qinghe's memory - she was also wearing a simple outfit, and the price of her clothes from head to toe was less than the price of a cup of tea, but her eyes were calm and peaceful, as clean as a lily bud about to bloom in the rain.

Simple, yet pure.

Lu Qinghe curled the corners of his lips, "An Ning?"

"Sister Qinghe——"

An Ning called out subconsciously, then realized it wasn't appropriate, and immediately changed her words, "Ms. Lu."

Lu Qinghe looked at her calm face and smiled gently, "It's been a few years since we last met. Are you feeling estranged from me?"

An Ning quickly changed her words with a smile, "Sister Qinghe, long time no see."

"That's right." Lu Qinghe shrugged lightly, smiling beautifully. "You divorced Lu Xiyan, not me. You shouldn't act like you don't know me so well, right?"

An Ning's lips curled up slightly. Back then, in the entire Lu family, Lu Qinghe was the first person to know that she and Lu Xiyan had secretly obtained a marriage certificate.

The first person from the Lu family that Lu Xiyan took her to meet was also Lu Qinghe.

At first, An Ning thought that Lu Qinghe, as Lu Xiyan's cousin, would dislike her, so she was very nervous when they met for the first time.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qinghe was the first member of the Lu family to acknowledge their relationship.

She still remembered what Lu Qinghe said to Lu Xiyan in front of her - "Who you marry and how you marry are your business, Lu Xiyan. If anyone in the Lu family has any objections, just shut them up. Your marriage has nothing to do with anyone, and you don't need anyone to make the decision."

Lu Qinghe has always been a very free and easy-going woman, so An Ning likes her very much.

An Ning thought that Lu Qinghe would blame her when they met again, but she didn't expect that she would still be so cheerful and casual.

"Are you here to see him too?"

Lu Qinghe glanced at the huge lobby and jokingly said, "I guess he didn't see you."

"Yes." Seeing through her intentions, An Ning smiled awkwardly, "I came to talk to him about work."

"Are you free?" Lu Qinghe raised his hand to check the time. "We haven't seen each other for four years. Let's find a place to chat?"

......

The flame-red sports car sped along the wide road all the way to the bridge port.

As the sun sets, the restaurants by the bridge harbor are enveloped in golden light, looking particularly beautiful.

The sports car stopped, and An Ning followed Lu Qinghe out of the car and found a seat with a great view of the bridge.

Lu Qinghe ordered a cocktail and handed the menu to the woman in front of him, "Lu Xiyan said you don't drink, order a drink you like."

An Ning was slightly stunned and ordered a glass of juice at random.

As if seeing the surprise in her eyes, Lu Qinghe smiled and said, "It's not that I remember your preference, but he used to talk about you all the time. I got calluses in my ears from repeating you. Now it's hard for me to forget."

An Ning's fingertips trembled slightly, and her lips curled slightly, not knowing how to respond.

Lu Qinghe looked at her with a smile, "When did you return to Jinghai?"

"It's been almost a month." An Ning smiled faintly.

"Are you remarried?"

An Ning was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Lu Qinghe to ask so directly. She shook her head gently, "No."

Lu Qinghe took a sip of his cocktail and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

An Ning chuckled, "No."

"You've been back in Jinghai for a month, so you should have met by now, right?" Lu Qinghe asked, looking at the computer bag she had been carrying with her, her red lips raised, "Did you really go to Oteng Group to find him just for work, not for love?"

An Ning was stunned for a moment, then she smiled softly, "Sister Qinghe, we're divorced."

"So what?" Lu Qinghe asked with a smile, "You can remarry after a divorce, right?"
