"Mingyu, wait for me!" Lu Xinyao, wearing high heels, kept following Xuan Mingyu, going wherever he went.
He was about to take the elevator back to his office, and she wanted to follow him; even his bodyguards wouldn't stop her.
"Mingyu, please listen to me, okay?"
Lu Xinyao's heels ached from walking, but she had no choice but to catch up with him.
"Just say what you have to say." He was getting a little impatient with her nagging; she had been sticking to him ever since he got out of the car and arrived at the company.
"Mingyu, what exactly happened to the Pear Blossom Island project? You were the one who got my dad to invest in it, and now it's all gone. This is a huge loss for Hongsheng." The company lost hundreds of millions of yuan in one fell swoop, and Lu Qianhao was so angry that he collapsed on the spot and is now in the hospital.
That was the investment that Xian Mingyu had been trying to get him to invest in, and he had even mentioned that he and Lu Xinyao were developing a closer relationship. If Lu Xinyao and Xian Mingyu's relationship really came to fruition, they would have secured a marriage alliance with the incredibly wealthy Xian family.
Hearing this, how could Lu Qianhao not be tempted? He immediately threw in several hundred million yuan. Unexpectedly, not long after, the project suddenly announced that it would become a national asset and no longer belong to an individual. Naturally, several hundred million yuan went down the drain.
"That was Lu Qianhao's own decision to vote, what does it have to do with me?"
"You! How could you say that? My daddy..."
“I only suggested he invest, not that he put hundreds of millions into it. Even Qingxian lost money.”
"How can you call this a loss? It's only a few tens of thousands, but my daddy's loss was..."
Xuan Mingyu interrupted Lu Xinyao again, "Do you think I've lost too little? You didn't take a lot from me back then, did you?"
He was implying something.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xinyao took two steps back. Did he find out something?
He's bought her quite a few gifts these past few days, but it seems... he's referring to something else.
The bodyguard next to Xuan Mingyu handed a folder to Lu Xinyao.
She took it with trembling hands and quickly began to look through it.
She was so frightened after reading only part of it that she dropped the folder on the ground.
"You! You!" Her voice trembled, incredulous. "So...so you've been using me all along? You've been investigating me for so long?"
Xuan Mingyu sneered, "Now that you know, it seems you're not completely hopelessly stupid."
"I wonder... if this evidence were handed over to the police, would your Lu family's fate be even more dramatic?"
That folder not only recorded Lu Xinyao's misappropriation of public funds from Qingxian over the past few months, her efforts to delete surveillance footage so she could enter his office, operate his computer, and frame Bai Xiaoruo, but also Hong Sheng's tax evasion over the past few years, and even bribed loopholes to get through smoothly.
If all these taxes are paid, Hongsheng will undoubtedly declare bankruptcy immediately, and the entire Lu family will not be able to sustain itself for much longer.
He's so ruthless, really so ruthless.
I never expected him to have such a trick up his sleeve!
He approached her while trying to extract information about Lu Qianhao's whereabouts and current situation from her, all in order to bring down the entire Lu family.
Just like... the Bai family was swallowed up a few months ago!
"No! Mingyu! How could you do this to me? Why? Why is this happening?" Before Xian Mingyu returned to his office, she grabbed his arm tightly, preventing him from leaving.
She wanted to hear it from his own mouth.
She couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe he would do this to her!
Without hesitation, Xian Mingyu shook off her hand, his face full of disgust. "You still have the nerve to ask me why? What about what you did to Bai Xiaoruo? Don't think I'll stay in the dark forever! All that money you took from me was used to hire someone to investigate, wasn't it? If our Xian family were really as naive and ignorant as you think, how could we still be standing today!"
"I've warned you more than once, don't touch Bai Xiaoruo, or you'll face the consequences!"
“You will never be as good as her. Even if we divorce, it’s only temporary. If you still dare to have any designs on her, I don’t mind… letting Lu Qianhao die in his dreams.”
"What are you going to do to my daddy?"
"Hmph, what I do depends on how you perform. You can try if you don't believe me."
After saying that, he went straight into the office, with his bodyguards standing guard outside the door.
Lu Xinyao's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
It's over, completely over.
Lu Xinyao knew that this was the last chance Xuan Mingyu was giving her. The fact that he didn't kill her father immediately or hand over the materials to the police was the greatest leniency he could show her.
How could Lu Xinyao not know how the Xian family managed to stand firm to where they are today?
What Xuan Mingyu just said was definitely not a joke.
Bai Xiaoruo dared not move unless she wanted her father to die immediately.
Although unwilling, there was nothing that could be done.
This man is someone she can neither afford to offend nor befriend.
She had given so much of herself to him, but in the end, she was the one who turned the tables on him.
***
The luggage is almost packed; this time, we're leaving by boat.
Bai Xiaoruo never told any of her friends where she was moving; she left quietly.
"Ruoruo, are you ready?"
"Alright, Grandpa, we can set off now."
"Okay, let's go."
Bai Xiaoruo took Feng Zhiyuan's hand and walked downstairs together, with bodyguards following behind to carry her luggage.
