Chapter 18 The Ferrari belongs to Gu Beixiao
Bai Wenyu felt a pang of pity seeing her son's pained expression.
She hadn't mentioned these things because she was afraid her son would get angry and upset if he heard the name Luo Zhiwei.
But she really didn't know that her son knew nothing.
“Jingxiao, when your father and I found out about this, you and Weiwei had already broken up. I thought Weiwei couldn’t accept your mother’s death, so we thought you knew but were just angry, so we didn’t say anything in front of you.”
Who would have thought that the son knew nothing at all?
What kind of mess is this?
“I…I don’t know, Luo Zhiwei…she’s keeping it from me.”
No, perhaps, that's what she wanted to say, but why did she end up saying nothing?
Lu Jingxiao's memories were like a jumbled mess. It took him a long time to find his voice, and he asked hoarsely, "Mom, you said Luo Zhiwei hasn't been doing well these past few years?"
“Yes, everyone in the industry knows that, right?” Bai Wenyu said with a hint of regret. “Ever since the mistress entered the Luo family, Luo Zhiwei has had no status. In the past few years, anyone can step on Luo Zhiwei. Even the shares left by Madam Luo have not yet reached her hands. It can be said that she is in a very bad situation.”
Lu Jingxiao could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and was about to leave when Bai Yuxin stopped him. She looked at Lu Jingxiao with firm eyes and said, "Cousin, you must treat Sister Luo well. Go find her quickly. I'll talk to her and clear things up when I have time."
She never expected that Sister Luo would suffer so much.
If she really likes her cousin, then seeing those trending news stories... would probably break her heart.
The moment Lu Jingxiao got into the car, his heart remained unsettled for a long time.
No wonder the boss saw Luo Zhiwei being bullied at the club; it turns out that no one is protecting her anymore.
With a scumbag father, how could her life be easy?
Luo Zhiwei, how many things are you hiding from me?
He dialed Luo Zhiwei's number, but it was constantly busy; he couldn't reach her.
He called Gu Yulin: "Boss, help me find someone."
"who?"
"Luo Zhiwei".
Gu Yulin: "...Third brother, are you kidding me? Isn't that your secretary? You want me to find her?"
"Okay, Wei Mingfeng is asleep. Can you help me look for him?"
Lu Jingxiao hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Gu Yulin helplessly stubbed out his cigarette, then resignedly made a phone call to investigate Lu Jingxiao's matter.
Not long after, Gu Yulin sent the message.
"Third brother, you need to be prepared. Luo Zhiwei didn't go home. She got into that red Ferrari and left. That car... is registered under Gu Beixiao's name."
Gu Beixiao...
Isn't that someone from the Gu family?
However, the Gu family is a complicated family. The eldest son has not yet become the heir, and the eldest daughter has run away from home and has not returned for many years.
And this Gu Beixiao... the illegitimate son of the Gu family, is why the young lady doesn't go home.
How did Weiwei end up with an illegitimate child?
Why didn't she go home so late at night?
"This is a house under Gu Beixiao's name. Take a look."
Looking at the two addresses on his phone, Lu Jingxiao felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He had already considered every possible possibility in his mind.
No, it won't happen.
It's impossible that Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao really have anything going on; it must be fake.
No way!
He trusted Luo Zhiwei; how could Luo Zhiwei possibly betray him?
The boss must have made a mistake in his investigation.
A red Ferrari...
The photos and license plates that Gu Yulin sent were from the two times he had seen them.
Could it be... that they're really together?
No way!
**
The next day, downstairs at the company, Gu Youran escorted Luo Zhiwei to the entrance of Lu's Group without getting out of the car herself.
Luo Zhiwei stood at the company entrance, smiling and waving goodbye to Gu Youran.
Luo Zhiwei prepared to go upstairs only after the red Ferrari drove away.
Just as she was walking into the company, a figure suddenly darted out from the left and grabbed Luo Zhiwei's arm.
Lu Jingxiao?
Why is he at the company so early today?
"Mr. Lu?"
Luo Zhiwei's voice was very cold and devoid of emotion.
Who brought you here just now?
Lu Jingxiao's tone was full of accusation, as if he had caught his wife cheating. This made Luo Zhiwei very uncomfortable. She struggled desperately, trying to escape Lu Jingxiao's grasp: "Mr. Lu, it seems that whoever brought me here has nothing to do with you."
“You and I are just in a superior-subordinate relationship. You should be concerned about Miss Bai, your fiancée, not me.”
Lu Jingxiao was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth. At this point, Luo Zhiwei not only didn't explain, but actually stabbed him in the heart.
"Luo Zhiwei, are you that thirsty? It's only been a few years since we left, and you've already found someone new, and he's even the Gu family's illegitimate son. How could you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Zhiwei interrupted him, her cold voice filled with despair: "Yes, I am thirsty, I am shameless, is President Lu satisfied now?"
"How can I compare to President Lu? You've been abroad for so many years and you still haven't forgotten about dating. Don't forget, you and your fiancée have been together for five years. What right do you have to talk about me?"
Luo Zhiwei, emboldened by who-knows-where, uttered three words to Lu Jingxiao: "Ex-boyfriend!"
"you...."
Luo Zhiwei said coldly, "President Lu, let go, I need to go in and clock in." She continued to remind him, "If our colleagues see us like this, it won't be good if it gets back to Miss Bai."
Lu Jingxiao saw despair in her eyes, and his heart trembled when he heard her self-deprecating words.
He looked at Luo Zhiwei with some remorse: "Weiwei, I...I didn't mean it. I didn't mean what I said just now."
"Mr. Lu, let go..."
Lu Jingxiao reluctantly let go: "Weiwei, I was just angry. Gu Beixiao isn't a good person, please don't..."
“I have my own judgment about Brother Gu’s character. I don’t need President Lu to educate me. After all, President Lu has been abroad for so many years and doesn’t know much about things in China.” Luo Zhiwei’s voice was slightly cold: “President Lu, you shouldn’t comment without knowing the whole story. You shouldn’t say such things without investigating.”
That's not right either.
Lu Jingxiao's ability to say such a thing suggests he had already conducted an investigation.
"Luo Zhiwei, you're criticizing me for the sake of an outsider??"
"I wouldn't dare; I'm just stating the facts."
Even though Gu Beixiao was an illegitimate child, he still protected Gu You Ran after she ran away from home. On the contrary, the Gu family members were wolves and tigers, and they were not worthy of being Ran Ran's family.
Regardless, since Ranran has accepted this family member, then she will accept it.
Why should Lu Jingxiao speak ill of Brother Gu?
"Luo Zhiwei, I've been giving you too much credit lately, haven't I? And you actually argue with me!"
Lu Jingxiao was furious.
Can't you just speak properly? Explain yourself, and I'll listen to you.
You're not saying anything, you're going to drive me crazy!
"Mr. Lu, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go in and clock in."
After saying that, Luo Zhiwei went into the company without looking back, and didn't say another word to Lu Jingxiao.
As a result, Lu Jingxiao was in a very bad mood that day, feeling like even a dog passing by would get a scolding...
