"That's right. His father is a high-ranking official. Even if he has problems with his conduct, it hasn't affected him much. He can still be an official, and he's even a section chief now."
“His wife’s relationship with him is bad now because of his affair. They’ve separated. His wife has taken the child back to her parents’ home, and he’s living alone now.”
The person sharing the table said with a puzzled look, "This guy and his wife seem to be a good match, but I don't know why he's still messing around outside."
Chen Lang laughed and said, "You wouldn't know that, would you? That mistress and Section Chief Shen have known each other for a long time."
"They were together before Section Chief Shen got married. Maybe that mistress was Section Chief Shen's true love."
"His current wife was only married because of family pressure, which is why their relationship is not good."
These were all gossip articles that Chen Lang had seen in the newspaper. He didn't know if they were true or false; he was just talking nonsense in front of Lu Qing.
Lu Qing was initially indifferent, but upon hearing that Shen Xuwen and Yu Xintong had separated, she was immediately overjoyed and felt a great sense of relief.
She wasn't unaware before that Yu Xintong was trying to harm her, but Yu Xintong's family was too wealthy, and she was caught off guard. Without Shen Xuwen's help, she was no match for Yu Xintong and thus suffered a humiliating defeat.
But what if Shen Xuwen still has feelings for her?
After failing in both her attempts to build her career in Haishi and Kyoto, and suffering the painful experience of being forced to flee like a rat in the street, she didn't have much hope for trying in Xiangshan City. Perhaps she could only make a living there.
Besides, she still loved Shen Xuwen, and she wanted to confirm whether Shen Xuwen still had feelings for her.
If Shen Xuwen still hasn't forgotten her, she can rekindle their relationship; there's no need for her to go to Xiangshan City to make a living on her own.
Thinking this, she quickened her pace of eating noodles, finished her meal, paid the bill promptly, and then left with her luggage.
Chen Lang thought about it for a moment, but still followed out of curiosity.
Although Lu Yang didn't tell him to continue following Lu Qing, he also didn't tell him to go back. Being paid to watch the excitement was certainly more interesting than going back to work.
Lu Qing walked quickly forward and soon arrived at the place where she and Shen Xuwen had previously met in secret.
Shen Xuwen even bought a house here. The house isn't big, only about 40 square meters, but it's very cozy to her.
All her happy memories from childhood to adulthood are from this place.
She couldn't wait to go upstairs and gently knock on the door of the house.
After a while, the door opened, and Shen Xuwen, with a scruffy beard, stood inside. The moment he saw Lu Qing, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Xiao Qing!"
Shen Xuwen grabbed her arm and excitedly pulled her into the room, closing the door behind them.
"Where have you been all this time? You suddenly disappeared. I heard you went to Shanghai, but then I heard nothing again. I'm not even sure if you were ever in Shanghai."
Shen Xuwen held her hand, his eyes filled with tears, and said many things with great emotion.
Looking at him, Lu Qing felt a pang of pain in her previously numb heart.
She choked up and said, "I'm having a really bad time. I couldn't go on living like this, so I came back to you. Would you take care of me?"
Shen Xuwen said without hesitation, "Don't go, stay by my side."
“If it weren’t for Lu Yang, I would never have gone to Yu Xintong, I would never have had a child with her, and none of what followed would have happened.”
"Please, no matter what, don't leave me. We'll never be apart."
Lu Qing hugged him back, and the two of them wept bitterly, like a pair of lovers separated by force, a very touching sight.
Chen Lang secretly peered through the peephole at the two people and listened to their conversation through the door, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
He quietly left the apartment building. If he stayed any longer, he would probably be discovered by the people around him, and besides, his mission was already accomplished.
He also learned something shocking: his boss had broken up Shen Xuwen and Lu Qing.
Although he didn't know why his boss did this, his boss seemed to dislike Lu Qing.
Chen Lang hurriedly returned to the hotel and couldn't wait to tell Lu Yang the news.
Lu Yang didn't even look up, continuing to do the accounting. He wasn't surprised at all after hearing what he said.
She simply nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, go ahead and get back to work."
Chen Lang was somewhat surprised by Lu Yang's reaction, as if Lu Yang had expected it all along.
He nodded, left the office and closed the door, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Cheng Lin walking over.
Cheng Lin frowned and asked, "Where did you go? I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you."
Chen Lang immediately whispered to Cheng Lin about how he had gone out to help Lu Yang with his business.
Cheng Lin immediately became interested, pulled him to the office next door, closed the door, and asked him to explain the details in detail.
Hearing the scene of Shen Xuwen and Lu Qing hugging and crying, Cheng Lin couldn't help but burst into laughter, which startled Chen Lang.
He realized that both Cheng Lin and Lu Yang disliked Lu Qing.
Cheng Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're quite something, actually following someone to their date spot."
Chen Lang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't feel anything when he did it, but it was a bit embarrassing to have someone say it out loud.
Cheng Lin told him to go do his work first, then went to find Lu Yang.
Lu Yang had just finished settling the accounts when he saw Cheng Lin come in smiling. He knew that Cheng Lin must have known about his scheme.
Cheng Lin asked in confusion, "Why do you insist on putting them together?"
"You seem to particularly enjoy watching Lu Qing be a mistress; I really don't know what you're thinking."
Lu Yang asked expressionlessly, "Do you know what the best way is to make someone despair?"
Cheng Lin looked at him, and Lu Yang raised his head and continued, "It's about making him just one step away from success, but failing every time."
"He saw that success meant gaining everything, but he could never reach it. Isn't that interesting?"
“Shen Xuwen’s family will definitely not allow him to get a divorce, so Lu Qing will always be a mistress.”
"Given Yu Xintong's hatred for Lu Qing, she will definitely not let Lu Qing go. I don't need to take direct action. As long as I give her a push at the right time, I can make Lu Qing suffer a fate worse than death in Yu Xintong's hands."
"Besides, I didn't force her. It was her own choice. She could have just left and started a new life in Xiangshan City."
Lu Yang's meaning was clear: he had given Lu Qing a chance, but Lu Qing did not cherish it.
Cheng Lin scratched his head. He never really understood Lu Yang's hatred for Lu Jianjun, Lu Yao, and Lu Qing.
Lu Yang felt no affection for his three closest relatives; all he felt was hatred and estrangement.
But Lu Yang is different with others. Even with strangers, he is willing to travel thousands of miles to see them off and take care of everything for them.
Therefore, he always felt that Lu Yang was a very contradictory person.
The two chatted briefly for a while, then Lu Yang put down the ledger and said, "I'm going home now to pack my things. I need to go back to Yangcheng. I'll need you to take care of the business here."
