Chapter 120 Escaping a Calamity

After a short scream, Lu Changning ran out of the reception room crying.

Anyone could see that Su Ai hadn't taught the child properly, and Lu Ye had adopted a laissez-faire attitude. However, because of the "heavy burden of fatherly love," Lu Changning didn't dare to misbehave in front of him.

Pei Wu followed silently.

Lu Changning didn't dare to run around, so she went to the open-air balcony next door to secretly wipe away her tears.

Sensing someone behind him, Lu Changning, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly turned around, her nose and tears mingling, and said fiercely, "What are you looking at?!"

Pei Wu slowly pointed to the trash can next to her, "Say one more word and I'll throw it in."

His voice was gentle, but the child was very perceptive and realized that Pei Wu was not joking. Then, remembering that his parents were not around, he immediately quieted down.

Su Ai arrived shortly afterward, her eyes also red. Lu Ye didn't say anything explicitly, but his attitude of treating her like a pet for amusement was also hurtful. Su Ai picked up Lu Changning, and the mother and son sobbed for a while. Then, she turned her head and saw Pei Wu's departing figure.

Just then, Lu Xiwen finished his conversation, picked up Pei Wu, and without any hesitation, placed his hand on the Omega's waist and naturally leaned in to kiss him.

Su Ai saw everything clearly and immediately forgot to cry.

Su Ai followed Lu Ye with the child in her arms. Once they entered the underground parking lot, she spoke mysteriously, "Old Lu, didn't you notice that Lu Xiwen's relationship with his assistant is unusual?"

Lu Ye didn't want to pay any attention to Su Ai, but after holding back, he said, "Nonsense, that's his Omega."

Lu Ye got into the car, and Su Ai quickly squeezed in, "Is that assistant from a wealthy family?"

Lu Ye countered, "Is it so easy for you to become my assistant?"

Su Ai said excitedly, "Then why aren't you going to stop him? How can an ordinary Omega be worthy of Lu Xiwen?"

"Is this something you can even think about?" Lu Ye's patience ran out, and he turned to Su Ai, saying irritably, "I know you're just a pretty face, but can't you use your tiny brain sometimes? A top-tier person, with absolute economic and human rights independence, wouldn't accept anyone's arrangements, so save your breath. As for those eligible Omegas in your relatives' families..." Lu Ye gave a particularly disgusted look, "Fine, let me save some dignity in front of Lu Xiwen."

Su Ai wanted nothing more than to jump up, grab Lu Ye by the collar, and yell, "Who do you think you are?!"

But she couldn't. Although she had no worries about food and clothing and lived a luxurious life, it was all given to her by Lu Ye.

Lu Changning asked timidly, "Dad, can that building still belong to me?"

Lu Ye: "I'll buy you a building model."

"..."

Lu Ye's words kept Su Ai tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Especially after witnessing the outermost circle of wealth in Changrong, why did Lu Ye leave such a generous legacy for Lu Xiwen, and what about Ningning?

...

When Pei Wu came out after taking a shower, Lu Xiwen came over after smelling the aroma from the study next door.

Pei Wu, half-heartedly resisting, took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk about serious matters. Keep an eye on Su Ai; I can tell she's still not giving up."

"What's the use?" Lu Xiwen asked dismissively. "Can she come to the table and negotiate with us?"

"No, that won't do," Pei Wu thought, feeling relieved. Then, the towel in his hand was ripped off. He used the last of his reason to say to Lu Xiwen, "Aren't you doing this a bit too often?"

"No," Lu Xiwen said seriously. "I've already been very restrained for your health."

Pei Wu: "..."

In the latter half of the night, the moonlight was as clear as a wash. Pei Wu watched as the moonlight finally gathered together and thought that she could finally rest.

As a result, I was late for work.

The problem was that Lu Xiwen left without saying a word so that he could sleep a little longer.

Pei Wu quickly washed up and even planned how to pack her lunchbox on her way to the company.

As soon as I entered the floor, I was slightly stopped by a project manager I knew.

"Assistant Pei, be careful, President Lu is having a huge tantrum in his office."

Pei Wu asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Xiyun's subsidiary was audited by higher authorities, and a huge loophole in public funds was discovered. They even called Changrong."

Pei Wu was startled but also thoughtful. "Okay, thank you."

Lu Xiwen was very annoyed by this kind of problem, and sure enough, Pei Wu heard Lu Xiwen's stern and sarcastic tone as soon as he approached the office.

He went to the tea room outside to make a cup of tea to cool down and relieve internal heat. As soon as he entered, he bumped into Lan Zhe, who was about to leave.

The two exchanged a quick glance, and Pei Wu stepped aside to make way for them.

Lan Zhe went to retrieve the data, and Pei Wu brought tea to Lu Xiwen's side.

When Lu Xi saw him, the frost in his eyes had not yet dissipated, but his eyes conveyed another meaning: Why did you come so early?

Pei Wu didn't know how to respond, so she stood still and looked at Lu Xiwen's office computer, which was full of dense data summaries.

Lu Xiwen took a sip of tea and felt his anger subside somewhat.

As expected, the entire management team of Xiyun was dismissed, and some of them may face criminal prosecutions involving huge sums of money.

Another thing is to produce the necessary documents to show to the higher-ups as soon as possible. I just thought I could finally relax, but I've been busy for almost another week.

Thus, Lu Xiwen escaped unscathed.

On Friday, early autumn, the weather was clear and the breeze carried a hint of coolness. Guan Yan called under the pretext of official business, and Pei Wu did not refuse.

It was a pretty upscale bar. When Pei Wu arrived, Guan Yangang had just finished downing a blue cocktail.

"Where is Chu Lin?" Pei Wu asked casually.

Guan Yan almost vomited his drink when he heard the name, then gave Pei Wu a light glare: "A ghost story out of the blue."

Pei Wu raised an eyebrow: "You knew he wouldn't let you drink it, yet you still drank it secretly."

"Who can control me?" Guan Yan muttered, but the corners of his mouth curled up first. He didn't know where Chu Lin had learned so much about Omega, and he applied it all to Guan Yan, forbidding this and that. After a period of correction, Guan Yan did feel much lighter, but people like to take advantage of their favoritism and be mischievous.

"He's been sent to study," Guan Yan said. "Otherwise, he'd be annoying to see me following him around all the time."

Pei Wu was too lazy to expose him, and understandingly called over a waiter, who also brought her a cocktail with a high alcohol content.

Guan Yan heard about the "Xi Yun" incident. Chang Rong was really dragged down by his incompetent teammates. Once this kind of account is investigated, no one will have an easy time.

"Are you done with work?"

"More or less." Pei Wu still had his glasses perched on his nose. He'd been looking at too many documents lately, and his eyes would hurt if he didn't have some blue light filter. Now, with a little sweat, his glasses slipped down. He lowered his head to drink, which suddenly gave him an air of refined scoundrel.

People next door have already gotten up and are looking this way.

Guan Yan openly admired Lu Xiwen, not minding thinking to himself for the nth time: "Lu Xiwen, you're lucky."
