"I understand, Grandpa. I'll definitely handle this matter properly," Lu Luochen said.
Grandpa Lu harrumphed. "I'm telling you, go and apologize to Ningning right away. If you let my granddaughter - in - law slip away, don't ever step foot in the Lu family's door again."
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't worry. I'll go and apologize right away."
After Grandpa Lu said a few more words, he finally hung up the phone.
"Mr. Lu, where shall we go now?" Jin Yihao asked after seeing them hang up.
"To Mo Xin Group," Lu Luochen said, rubbing his temples.
Jin Yihao responded.
Lu Luochen picked up his phone again, opened the contacts list, and his finger hovered over Wen Sining's name. He was usually a decisive man, but now he hesitated over a single phone call. To be honest, he had no idea how to face Wen Sining or what to say to explain himself.
After some hesitation, he finally decided to dial Wen Sining's number. He put the phone to his ear and listened to the "beep - beep - beep" sound. His heart rate actually quickened.
After a few rings, a mechanical female voice came through, and then the call automatically hung up. Lu Luochen's heart suddenly felt panicked.
Wen Sining was woken up by a phone call in the morning. It seemed that Lu Luochen's incident hadn't affected her sleep.
Wen Sining closed her eyes, felt around for her phone, squinted at it, and saw that it was Qiao Xi calling. She swiped up to answer the call.
"Ningning, where are you now? I saw those things on the Internet. That so - called president, the mosaic they put on was worse than not putting it at all. I recognized Lu Luochen, that scumbag, at a glance. I'll definitely teach him a lesson when I see him." She habitually checked the hot searches as soon as she woke up in the morning. She originally went in with a mindset of watching the drama, but then found that the man was Lu Luochen. She was so angry that her blood was boiling.
Hearing Qiao Xi mention Lu Luochen, Wen Sining finally woke up. She was now completely disheartened about Lu Luochen and had no hope for him. She didn't care what he did outside. Since he could have a relationship with Yun Chuchu, it meant that she didn't matter to him at all. She didn't even have a shred of self - respect. Maybe even if Yun Chutong had become Yun Chuchu, she was still the white moonlight in Lu Luochen's heart, while she was just a usurper.
"Xi Xi, don't worry. I'm fine," Wen Sining said. She knew that Qiao Xi was worried about her.
Qiao Xi was her best friend and the one who knew her best. Although Wen Sining said she was fine, she must be heartbroken inside.
"No way. I'm coming to find you right now and tear that bitch apart," Qiao Xi said, feeling as if she had been injected with adrenaline. She was also indignant for Wen Sining. She didn't expect that Lu Luochen, who usually looked decent, could do such a thing. No one could forgive this.
"Okay, Xi Xi. Don't be so excited. I'll definitely handle Lu Luochen's matter."
After being told this, Qiao Xi also thought that her reaction was too intense. After all, this was a matter between the couple. It wasn't appropriate for her to interfere at this time.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath to calm herself down, then said to Wen Sining, "Ningning, if anything happens, call me immediately."
"I know."
The two hung up the phone. Wen Sining had no more sleepiness. She looked at her phone and found that Grandpa Lu had also called her last night. Without even thinking, it must be because of Lu Luochen's matter. However, she didn't plan to call back for now.
Looking at the few messages popping up in the notification bar, they were from Donna who was far away in a foreign country. Without a doubt, they were also about Lu Luochen's incident this time.
Sure enough, many people had recognized him. As for the female protagonist of this incident, they didn't know.
Wen Sining replied to her and then got up to wash up. Although she knew that her current state was not good, she still had to handle her work and go to work, especially since Donna was not in the company now.
After getting dressed, Wen Sining simply ate a few slices of bread and drove to the company.
After entering, many employees were discussing Lu Luochen's matter. Wen Sining heard it and self - deprecatingly hooked the corner of her lips. It seemed that Lu Luochen had become an Internet celebrity this time. There were some who didn't recognize his identity. They would surely be even more shocked if they knew. After all, it was really improper for the president of the prestigious Lu Group to do such a thing.
She entered the company amidst these discussions and took the exclusive elevator to her office to deal with work.
She had just finished approving a document. She didn't even know how long it had taken her to read it because her mind was full of Lu Luochen. The phone on one side rang. Wen Sining picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Zhan calling. Come to think of it, they hadn't seen each other much since the last annual meeting.
"Hello, Ms. Wen, what are you doing?" Xiao Zhan rarely addressed her like this.
Wen Sining didn't care. "What else can I do? Just dealing with work. Isn't this our musician? What's the matter with your call?" She leaned back in her chair and stared into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan clicked his tongue in disdain. "Wen Sining, I'm not kidding. At a time like this, you still have the mind to work. Your husband is having a great time outside."
Hearing this, Wen Sining didn't even need to think to know that Xiao Zhan must also know about this matter. It made sense. After all, it had caused such a stir that it was hard not to know.
"If you're just going to talk about this, we'll hang up," Wen Sining said clearly not wanting to bring up this matter.
Xiao Zhan shut up and started talking about the real business. "I'm rehearsing outside. Do you want to come and have a look? Just to relax."
Wen Sining thought for a moment and agreed. In her current state, she really couldn't handle work well. Instead of wasting time here, it was better to go.
Xiao Zhan sent the address. Then Wen Sining drove there.
Just as she left, Lu Luochen drove over. The two just missed each other perfectly.
The car stopped downstairs of Mo Xin Group. Lu Luochen got out. Counting this, it was his first time coming to Wen Sining's company.
"You wait outside. I'll go in by myself," Lu Luochen said to Jin Yihao.
The latter nodded.
He walked in. The receptionist stopped him. "Hello, sir. May I ask who you're looking for?"
Hearing the voice, Lu Luochen paused in his steps and replied, "I'm looking for Ms. Wen."
"Ms. Wen is not in the company at the moment," the receptionist replied.
