Lu Luochen had been resting at home for an unknown period. He was feeling rather languid, and even his once fierce expression had softened into a gentle one.
If Wen Sining hadn't known better, she might have thought this guy was a kept man she had secretly housed at home. His dark circles, which used to be a sign of poor health, were gradually returning to a normal color. His lips were no longer as pale as if he had lost a lot of blood, but looked full and rosy.
Cough, cough. Wen Sining watched the man watering the flowers downstairs and felt a sudden flutter in her heart, but it was just a fleeting moment. After all, who didn't like looking at good - looking men?
Without his cold exterior, Lu Luochen was just a young man in his mid - twenties. As the saying goes, men remain boys forever, and he wasn't that far from his youth.
The old master was sitting in the garden, listening to Uncle Bai's report. Some people in the Lu Group were starting to stir.
At this point, Uncle Bai was a bit worried whether the recovered Mr. Lu could still hold the position of the president.
He timidly mentioned to the old master whether the madam should accompany Mr. Lu to gain experience in the company.
"Mr. Lu is very dependent on the madam now. It should be the shadow left from before," Uncle Bai said.
The doctor had also pointed out that emotional trauma could easily change a person. Lu Luochen had truly loved Yun Chutong, but that woman had shown such an ugly side.
"It's okay. He's my grandson," the old master said with full confidence in Lu Luochen.
And indeed, on the first day Lu Luochen returned to the company, he got right back into the swing of things. Those people were also intimidated by Anna's words.
"Everyone should return to their posts as soon as possible. There's still a lot of work to do today. Stop prying into Mr. Lu's privacy. I'm sure you all know what happened to the person who did so before," Anna said firmly.
Anna was also very glad to be back under Lu Luochen. She was highly capable and good - looking. If she wanted, she could easily get a vice - president position anywhere.
But she preferred to stay in the Lu Group because Lu Luochen had absolutely no interest in her. She was sure that her work ability would be recognized, rather than being the victim of the so - called workplace harassment.
Hearing Anna's words, those people scattered like birds and beasts. They thought that after being kicked out of the company by the old master, Lu Luochen would be more cautious and afraid to act.
What they didn't know was that the serious - faced Mr. Lu was looking at a message on his phone, not knowing what to do.
Since Wen Sining knew that the old master didn't like using the phone to communicate, she had no choice but to send this message.
"I won't be back for dinner today. Ask the servants to prepare light food. Make sure not to include meat, eggs, or milk. I've already asked the nutritionist to write a report about the details."
Most of the message was about the old master. Lu Luochen, as her husband, didn't even get a single word.
This imbalance in his heart made his irritable mood resurface, but it was quickly suppressed. Lu Luochen also knew that his former self was indeed not suitable for Wen Sining.
Even now, he still felt deeply guilty. If it weren't for this woman, according to the family doctor, the old master's health wouldn't have lasted until the end of this year.
But thanks to the old master's good mood and the perfect resolution of his grandson's matters, the old master had actively cooperated with the treatment, greatly extending his lifespan.
In the end, Lu Luochen only sent two words.
Got it.
He didn't have the right to ask a woman where she was going, especially Wen Sining.
Since her instructions had been acknowledged, Wen Sining didn't need to worry about whether she should go or not.
That feast seemed like a trap. The invitation card was trimmed with gold edges and had a row of strange blessings on it, like "Welcome the whole family", which was clearly mocking her as a discarded wife not favored by her husband.
There were quite a few people who had shown their interest in her, but the one who dared to send such an invitation must know her real identity.
After all, apart from the people in her family, not many knew that Wen Sining, the silly granddaughter - in - law of the Lu family, was the boss of Mo Xin.
"Alas, if it weren't for attracting investment and sponsorship, I wouldn't do this."
As night fell, they had chosen a villa hotel for this event. It was equipped with a private hot - spring system and various entertainment facilities, more like a place for young people to relax.
A beautiful woman came running over. Wen Sining widened her eyes but couldn't remember who this woman was.
The woman was very friendly. She warmly hooked her arm around Wen Sining's and quickly pulled her into the fitting room.
She kept complimenting Wen Sining, saying, "Your skin is so good. If I were as good - looking as you, I wouldn't have to stay here anymore."
"Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't keep everyone waiting. This time, we've chosen a really fun place where we can not only discuss business but also relax."
The girl had a sweet smile, and Wen Sining was gradually lulled into a false sense of security. But her rationality kept her a bit alert. She didn't take off all her clothes. She only took off her outer clothes and wrapped herself in a bath towel over her vest.
"I... don't feel well. Maybe this is okay," Wen Sining said.
The woman's expression didn't change. It seemed that this was acceptable to her. She just pointed at her lips and whispered something in Wen Sining's ear.
At that moment, Wen Sining's pupils dilated. She instinctively took a step back and wanted to escape.
"It's too late. I'll help you," the woman said.
Wen Sining was half - believing, half - doubting. Since she had already come, she could only go with the flow.
Sure enough, most of the people were wearing bathrobes, and the secretaries they brought were all extremely beautiful.
"I'm late. I'll punish myself with three glasses of wine," Wen Sining said without waiting for others to say anything. She picked up an unopened bottle and poured herself three glasses of wine.
The glasses were taken from somewhere else when she came in.
Obviously, several wealthy businessmen were staring at her curvy figure. Seeing her drink three glasses of unopened wine, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
"All of you have such capable assistants by your side. I didn't bring anyone. It seems I'm out of place. How about lending me one?" Wen Sining didn't play by the rules. By this time, only a fool wouldn't know what these people were up to.
The wine on the table was for her, and the women around were to deceive her.
These people had no intention of negotiation at all. They were just making things difficult for a woman.
Wen Sining's eyes curved into a gentle smile. But these people knew very well that Wen Sining was definitely not an easy - to - get - along - with woman. Mo Xin didn't reach its current status by luck; it had real strength.
The woman who had greeted her at the beginning was the owner of this hotel. She served Wen Sining personally because she didn't want another woman to be bullied.
