Chapter 207 Let My Woman Walk Sideways in the Capital
On the other hand, Luo Zhiwei hadn't seen Lu Jingxiao for three days, and no one answered her calls, which puzzled and surprised her.
What exactly happened?
She turned to look at Wei Mingfeng, caught in a deep dilemma.
Lu Jingxiao's recent schedule has not included any business trips, leaving the city, or going abroad. How could he disappear for two days?
The most suspicious thing is that Wei Mingfeng, the special assistant, is still working at the company, so what is Lu Jingxiao doing?
"Assistant Wei, where did President Lu go? Why hasn't he come to the company for three days?"
She didn't even go home. She was at her workstation, and Wei Mingfeng was also at his workstation, but her boss was nowhere to be seen.
Wei Mingfeng's lips twitched guiltily, and his tone betrayed his unease: "Secretary Luo, isn't it good that the president isn't here? We can legitimately slack off and just do our jobs properly, right?"
Secretary Luo frowned even more deeply; these were not words he could utter.
As a special assistant, Wei Mingfeng should be fully aware of Lu Jingxiao's whereabouts, so how could he possibly dismiss her so casually?
“Assistant Wei, this doesn’t sound like something you would say. As a special assistant, you should know President Lu’s whereabouts perfectly well. What you’re saying is very unprofessional.”
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
See? See?
I knew I'd be exposed!
How could I possibly do such a deceptive job!
President Li is really making things difficult for people!
“Secretary Luo, if it were before, I would definitely know all of President Lu’s whereabouts, but this time, I really don’t know anything.”
Wei Mingfeng decided to play dumb to the end.
If Secretary Luo asks, he will say he knows nothing.
Luo Zhiwei frowned, lost in thought, and soon looked up at Wei Mingfeng.
However, the man in front of her seemed to have anticipated her prediction: "Secretary Luo, threatening me is no longer effective. President Lu said that he absolutely believes in me, no, he believes that you would not flirt with anyone."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Since he said that, it means... Lu Jingxiao had already informed him.
very good.
There's a secret.
If Wei Mingfeng doesn't tell her, doesn't she have any other way to find out?
Luo Zhiwei directly called Gu Youran, explained the reason, and Gu Youran got the information in about half an hour.
Luo Zhiwei was very puzzled: "Ranran, where did you get this information from?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat guilty: "This... Weiwei, the point isn't how I know, the point is, what is Lu Jingxiao doing at the villa in the south of the city? I only know he's at the villa in the south of the city, but I don't know the specifics."
This is something that Weiwei should see for herself.
Luo Zhiwei agreed with Gu Youran, so she immediately hung up the phone and left the company.
She needs to see for herself.
Although she didn't know what her position was, he was inexplicably worried.
Following the address provided by Gu Youran, Luo Zhiwei quickly drove to the villa in the south of the city, and unsurprisingly, she saw Li Huaijin outside the villa.
Now she was even more certain that Lu Jingxiao was here.
"President Li, if you're here, then Lu Jingxiao must be here too. What happened to him?"
Li Huaijin knew that Gu Youran would never take the initiative to be friendly; she must have an ulterior motive. Sure enough, Luo Zhiwei appeared here.
It must have been Gu Youran who told him.
He sighed and begged Luo Zhiwei for forgiveness: "Miss Luo, please, don't tell anyone I revealed that the third brother has been a bit temperamental these past few days."
"What happened? He's been doing fine these past two days."
Li Huaijin chuckled, feeling he couldn't tell the truth.
"That's fine in front of you, but in front of us..."
It's only because Luo Zhiwei is the apple of the third brother's eye that he has to show off his status. He has been suffering terribly these past two days.
The third brother used them as targets for practice every day.
Aside from his face, his body was covered in bruises.
"I..." Luo Zhiwei suddenly thought of a possibility: "Lu Jingxiao...is not having a relapse of depression, or..."
Li Huaijin raised an eyebrow in surprise. He remembered that Luo Zhiwei had seen him before, and Lu Jingxiao had no problems at all when he was by her side; in fact, he was very obedient and docile.
He was debating whether or not to let Luo Zhiwei in.
"Miss Luo, the third brother probably doesn't want to see you right now. He'll recover on his own in a couple of days, so don't worry too much."
Li Huaijin felt that Lu Jingxiao was torturing himself.
Uncle Gu wanted to go to the Luo family villa, so we just let him go alone, but the third brother insisted on going with him.
He said there was a place he had never dared to go, but now that someone was with him, they would go and see it together.
When he finally stepped into that room, before Uncle Gu had even collapsed, he had already broken down, even...sobbing uncontrollably.
He couldn't take it anymore just thinking about what Luo Zhiwei might be going through.
I don't know if he has depression, but he has bipolar disorder.
In the six months since I came back, the frequency of my attacks has increased dramatically.
Seeing that he didn't give a direct answer, Luo Zhiwei roughly understood what was going on, and immediately said without hesitation: "Take me in, I want to stay with Lu Jingxiao."
She didn't know what she could do, but she couldn't do nothing.
There was a strange premonition that Lu Jingxiao had become the way he was today because of her.
Therefore, she cannot do nothing.
Li Huaijin hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind: "Okay, I'll take you there. I guess only you can persuade Lu Jingxiao. The boss, Xiao Si, and I have already run out of ideas about him."
It's so despairing to even think about!
Luo Zhiwei smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you... I..."
“Miss Luo, to be honest, your love for Lao San is not even half as much as his love for you. He... I hope you can stop being so conflicted. Without you, Lu Jingxiao is nothing more than a walking corpse.”
Li Huaijin chuckled self-deprecatingly. It turned out he had moments of being a living bodhisattva. How novel!
"The secret you're worried about may no longer be a secret, but the third brother hasn't left you. On the contrary, he cherishes you even more. I think... you should understand what that means."
Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly: "I know, and I know you probably all know what I've been through in the past, but Mr. Li... knowing and talking about it openly are two different things. If it were you, would you allow a girl with a tainted past to be the matriarch of your Li family?"
Li Huaijin shrugged indifferently. Was this a problem for him?
That's not right at all!
"If I love her, then the so-called stain will not exist." Li Huaijin's arrogant and unrestrained smile reminded Luo Zhiwei of the phrase 'the chosen one of heaven': "Miss Luo, although the Li family is not as powerful as the Lu family, it is not a family that others dare to step on. If it weren't for the status I have, why would I work so hard?"
"Miss Luo, guess why I care about power? It's because I want my future woman to be able to walk around freely in the entire capital and the entire country, and no one will dare to make things difficult for her."
He continued, "The third brother has been working so hard these past few years to expand Lu's overseas market, all for the same purpose. Miss Luo, you can't let the third brother down."
Of course, Luo Zhiwei is now the eldest brother's sister, and also his sister.
"I understand what you mean. Take me to see Lu Jingxiao first." Luo Zhiwei relaxed a little, but... she still had her own principles.
As soon as the two reached the villa's entrance, they saw a man spring out.
It's Gu Yulin!
When Gu Yulin saw Luo Zhiwei, he was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her hand: "Weiwei, you can't go in here, it's too dangerous!"
