Could it be that Li Xian felt bad for neglecting her last night, and that's why he specially sent a servant to the house to explain?
If that's the case, it means that Li Xian values him to some extent.
Lu Minghui's annoyance vanished, replaced by anticipation and trepidation.
However, Li Xian is already married, so why would he send someone to his home to explain?
Lu Minghui knew everything about Xu Nuo's situation.
As early as when she learned that Xu Nuo came from Lu County, Lu Minghui wrote a letter to ask Lu Xueyun. Unexpectedly, Lu Xueyun actually knew Xu Nuo and naturally wrote down the details of Xu Nuo's family situation.
She pretended to accidentally take out Lu Xueyun's letter, which Mo Hongying saw.
Mo Hongying liked Su Zhao and had long harbored resentment towards Xu Nuo. After reading the letter, she cursed Xu Nuo as a liar and went to find Xiao Chun, who was also from Lu County.
Xiaochun happened to know some things about Xu Nuo, and after confirming it from multiple sources, she concluded that Xu Nuo's family was of ordinary means.
Xu Nuo is flamboyant in appearance and acts as she pleases. Countless people are jealous of her, but they all assume she has a powerful background and have to fawn over her with smiles. Now that they know the truth, they will naturally not let her off easily.
When Lu Minghui mentioned that Xu Nuo was the choir conductor, Mo Hongying indeed came up with a plan to expose her true colors in front of everyone.
I never expected those things to happen that night.
Xu Nuo was not affected at all; on the contrary, he was so successful that it aroused hatred.
Not only is he the founder of Nomi, but he is also Li Xian...
Lu Minghui suddenly felt a twitch between her brows as if she had thought of something.
Could it be?
Could it be that Xu Nuo and Li Xian are not actually husband and wife, and Li Xian said that just to help her out of a predicament?
Yes, Li Xian is Ke Chongshan's grandson. He has no other relatives besides this side of the family, so he must cherish and value him very much. If they were really married, how could Ke Chongshan not know?
It must have been Xu Nuo who begged him, it must have been.
Xu Nuo and Liu Meixiang have such a good relationship, and Li Xian is Liu Zhao's godson. It must be because of this relationship that Li Xian spoke up for her.
There's a saying that fathers and daughters are of one heart, and not only Lu Minghui, but also Lu De'an think so.
So, with a beaming smile, he excitedly invited Chen Wei inside, thinking that since this was Li Xian's man, he should definitely serve him a good cup of tea. However, after Chen Wei sat down on the sofa, he called out to Lu De'an, "Mr. Lu, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'm just here to say a few words on behalf of President Li, and I'll leave after I've said them."
Lu Minghui sat down on the other side, a kind smile on her face, and looked at Chen Wei: "Mr. Chen is Mr. Li's guest. He has come from afar, how can we not even offer him tea, Mr. Chen..."
Chen Wei ignored her and said to Lu De'an, "Mr. Lu, please have a seat."
To be honest, Lu De'an is a very arrogant person who is only humble to his superiors. If someone were to order him around like this, he would be very displeased.
However, Chen Wei was Li Xian's man.
The greater the changes brought about by the reforms, the more prominent Li Xian has been recently.
Lu De'an went to the Ke family several times, hoping to meet Li Xian, but Ke Chongshan always said that Li Xian was too busy and declined.
Although Li Xian is a businessman, he has Liu Zhao behind him and close ties with the recently established Nuomei Pharmacy. He always manages to get those highly effective medicines before others and has won over countless high-ranking officials.
Lu De'an was too busy trying to curry favor with Chen Wei, so he was naturally very polite to him as well.
He slowly sat down, a smile and a hint of smugness on his slightly chubby face, and said, "Speaking of which, I heard some gossip today, saying that Mr. Li is already married. I wonder if Mr. Li sent you to explain this matter?"
Chen Wei nodded.
Lu Minghui clenched her fists excitedly, but Chen Wei's words brought her smile to a halt.
Chen Wei explained, "This is not just idle gossip. Mr. Li is indeed married. He came today to inform Miss Lu that he hopes you can complete the withdrawal procedures by tomorrow."
Lu Minghui and Lu De'an were stunned.
"Wh...what? You want me to drop out of school?"
Lu De'an's face darkened: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Wei sat upright, his expression unchanged: "Miss Lu knows perfectly well what she has done. Such a despicable and vile act is shameful even to me. In short, I hope you can complete the withdrawal procedures yourself by tomorrow, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Lu De'an was trembling with anger. Just as he was about to reprimand Chen Wei, he saw Chen Wei turn to look at him with a mocking yet fearless gaze and say, "Mr. Li asked me to pass on a message."
Chen Wei stood up, smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on his shirt, and even spoke in a polite tone.
"Do you still want to sit in your current position?"
It was like a hard slap across Lu De'an's face.
How dare Li Xian?
How dare you talk to him like that?
Lu De'an laughed angrily, "Li Xian dares to threaten me? Does he think he's so great just because he's successful now? Does he think I, Lu De'an, am afraid of him? Let me tell you..."
Chen Wei didn't want to say much, so he handed over the kraft paper he had been holding: "Mr. Lu, take a look, and you'll understand."
Lu De'an was furious, feeling that his authority had been severely challenged. He was unwilling to look at Chen Wei anymore, and his expression was as if he wanted to tear Chen Wei to pieces. His words were still sharp: "Does Li Xian think that he can do whatever he wants just because Liu Zhao is backing him up? Let me tell you, he is dreaming."
Lu Minghui was already sobbing uncontrollably, and said with great grievance, "Mr. Chen, I want to see Li Xian. I want to explain to him. He must have misunderstood. I didn't do anything! You can't just listen to Xu Nuo's one-sided story and make false accusations against people."
Chen Wei felt there was no need to continue the conversation, so he gave a slight bow and left, reminding them before he left, "I advise you two to take a look."
Lu Minghui was filled with trepidation, but she eventually opened the kraft paper and took out what was inside. She screamed in terror, "Dad, Dad..."
Lu De'an cursed angrily: "Useless thing, it's all your fault for causing this mess and making me suffer such humiliation."
He slammed the object down, still muttering, "That brat Li Xian dares to..."
His eyes widened in disbelief: "How...how does he have these things?"
Lu Minghui was too frightened to speak. What was inside was enough to get Lu De'an dismissed from his post and even face imprisonment.
"What should we do? Dad, what should we do?"
Lu Minghui never expected things to turn out this way, and she felt both regret and resentment.
Lu De'an took a deep breath, as if grasping at the last straw: "I, I'll go to the Ke family."
The Ke family's situation wasn't much better.
Ke Chongshan took a deep drag on his pipe, his eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and trepidation.
It turns out that the Zhongxu Group belongs to Li Xian.
What surprised him even more was that Nuomei was actually the girl Li Xian had brought. No wonder Li Xian gave her that herbal tea so readily.
He never expected that Li Xian would achieve such success. If he had known this earlier, he would have treated him and that woman from Lu County better.
Just then, Lu De'an came to visit again.
His grave expression made Ke Chongshan uneasy.
"Mr. Ke, I have a favor to ask of you today. I hope you can lend me a hand and help me. As long as you can help me this time, I will definitely do whatever you ask in the future."
Ke Chongshan was shocked, never expecting Lu De'an to beg him like this.
He had a gut feeling that Lu De'an's troubles were related to Li Xian.
As expected, after Lu De'an finished explaining the matter, he didn't forget to flatter Ke Chongshan: "Old Ke, Mr. Li is your grandson, he will definitely give you face, please help me out."
Ke Chongshan was not about to lose face. Even though he was unsure, he pretended to be calm and said confidently, "I understand."
Lu De'an said, "This matter needs to be handled as soon as possible. Li Xian's people said that Xiao Hui should complete the withdrawal procedures before tomorrow."
Ke Chongshan said to Lao Hei, "You, go to Li Xian's place, call him over, and tell him that Grandpa misses him."
The two had parted on bad terms before, and Li Xian had used both threats and inducements to get Ke Han to return the house, which had strained their relationship. But saying this again was like giving Li Xian a way out.
Even his maternal grandfather bowed his head first, so Li Xianzong wouldn't be ungrateful.
To Ke Chongshan's surprise, Li Xian really didn't give him any face at all. Lao Hei came back alone, looking hesitant to speak.
He knew the inside story, and when he went there, he said some decent things for Ke Chongshan: "Your grandfather regretted what happened last time. He wanted to come and see you several times, but unfortunately, his old illness has flared up recently, which is why it has been delayed until now. Tonight, he can't sleep because he misses you, so he asked me to come and call you over."
Li Xian asked calmly, "Lu De'an has come to our door, hasn't he?"
Old Hei was taken aback.
Li Xian said, "Go back and tell Mr. Ke that Lu Minghui's withdrawal from school is my bottom line. If she refuses, I will hand over the items to the disciplinary inspection department tomorrow."
Old Hei knew immediately that there was no point in discussing the matter.
Upon hearing this, Ke Chongshan was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. He wanted to curse, but he was afraid that Lu De'an outside would hear him, so he just muttered under his breath, "You wretched child, you wretched child, you're making me so angry."
Lu De'an thought that coming to Ke Chongshan would bring a change of fortune, but he didn't expect that Li Xian wouldn't even give Ke Chongshan any face.
He returned empty-handed.
Lu Minghui had been waiting at home. When she saw Lu De'an return, she quickly asked, "Dad, how did it go?"
Lu De'an gave her a cold look, disappointed and angry: "Go and get the withdrawal papers processed tomorrow."
That night, countless people tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Xu Nuo, however, slept soundly and sweetly.
When Li Xian came out of the shower, he saw that the person who had just vowed to wait for him was now curled up like a little pig, with his hands on the pages of a book and his little mouth smacking as he slept soundly.
The man's expression softened, and he gently moved the book away.
"Hmm." Disturbed by the noise, Xu Nuo let out a small whimper.
Li Xian turned her over, gently patting her back to soothe her, and softly coaxed, "Sleep well, Nuonuo."
...
The following day, twenty-three people who had signed the whistleblower letter voluntarily withdrew from school.
This event, like a thunderclap, shattered the already turbulent lake, causing it to surge with waves.
Those who were not involved felt extremely fortunate.
Who would have thought that the person who was being scolded yesterday would transform overnight into someone everyone looks up to?
Xu Nuo is not only rich, but extremely rich.
Those who know about Nuomei are either rich or noble, simply because Nuomei's moisturizing oil and precious medicinal materials were initially sold only to the wealthy. The wives of officials in Shanghai may not be so enthusiastic about other things, but they are all crazy about health and beauty.
Such a wonderful product was naturally enough to cause a sensation in Shanghai.
However, Xu Nuo has more than just Nuomei. She also has a husband who is the founder of the Zhongxu Group. He is not only rich and powerful, but also young and handsome, which makes everyone envious.
Xu Nuo went to school the next day, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
Envy, jealousy, confusion...
She pretended not to see it, went to her classes and ate her meals, only responding politely to the sudden enthusiasm of many people.
Liu Meixiang was afraid that Xu Nuo would feel uncomfortable, so she skipped her class to accompany her. As a result, she and Danfeng became the ones who felt uncomfortable being stared at.
Xu Nuo acted as if she hadn't seen anything, attending her classes, eating her meals, and laughing and joking as usual.
Because of Liu Zhao, Liu Meixiang had been used to being flattered by others since childhood. Danfeng was different; her expression changed somewhat by the end of the morning.
She rubbed her forehead and muttered to herself, "Aren't these people trying to get close to me awkward? It's one thing to compliment you two, but to say I'm pretty and have class is another. Hey, do you think I don't know what I look like?"
Danfeng was of average appearance. Although she was tall, she was not slender and thin; instead, she appeared rather bulky. Furthermore, due to her work in the countryside, her skin was not very good. She was definitely not the type to be beautiful or elegant.
She has a very accurate understanding of herself.
"You're crazy, you're making me cry with all your praise."
Xu Nuo and Liu Meixiang laughed heartily. Liu Meixiang said, "If you apply the moisturizing oil properly, I guarantee it will make you look white and beautiful."
Xu Nuo, who was standing to the side, nodded: "You'll be so beautiful you'll cry."
Xu Weibao followed in their footsteps, ignoring the envious glances of the others, and very affectionately tried to take Xu Nuo's arm: "Nuonuo, where are you going? I want to go too."
Danfeng, who had been laughing and joking, stopped laughing and fell silent.
Xu Weibao was usually proactive and his relationship with Xu Nuo wasn't bad, but when Mo Hongying brought people to the dormitory, Xu Weibao almost signed that damned whistleblower letter.
Moreover, when Mo Hongying and her group blocked the door and spoke ill of Xu Nuo, Xu Weibao and Jasmine listened with great interest.
Xu Nuo naturally guessed it. Of the many people in the dormitory, Jasmine and Chunlan signed the letter of denunciation, and of the remaining few, only Danfeng came to tip them off.
Moreover, she knew everything that happened in the dormitory that day, including what everyone said.
Danfeng spoke up in defense of her, even arguing with the group, and she was grateful, so she was naturally willing to play with her.
But what exactly is Xu Weibao?
She's opportunistic, thinking someone else's wall is more secure, so she jumped to their wall. Now that she's discovered Xu Nuo's wall is higher and stronger, she wants to pretend nothing happened and go back to relying on Xu Nuo for shade.
Xu Nuo gave her a sarcastic look: "It's inconvenient."
Xu Weibao was surprised to be rejected, and his smile froze: "Nuonuo, aren't we good friends?"
Xu Nuo sneered: "Xu Weibao, who gave you the audacity to consider yourself my friend?"
