Chapter 540

Qiao Anhao stared at the screen for a long while, repeatedly going over the words "Lu Jinnian" before finally digesting the article .

Why would he buy Xu Enterprise?

When did he start to plot the takeover?

Why didn't she realize anything in so long?

Qiao Anhao was in a mess . She stood motionless for a long while until the person behind kindly reminded her, "Excuse me, it's you turn to pay . " Only then did she slowly get back to her senses, but even then, she couldn't seem to react .

The cashier seemed irritated by Qiao Anhao . Impatiently, she knocked on the table . "Miss? Hurry up . "

She passed her item over, then suddenly realizing something . She reached for her phone and dialed a number, but it didn't go through . Quickly, she dialed for Lu Jinnian's assistant .

"Miss Qiao . "

When she heard the assistant's polite voice, she shut her eyes to calm herself before asking, "Where's Lu Jinnian?"

"Mr . Lu is in his office . . . " Before he could finish his sentence, Qiao Anhao hung up . Ignoring the cashier in front of her, she left, running towards the staircase .

Qiao Anhao ran all the way out of the mall . When she reached the road, she jumped into a cab that someone else had hailed for . Turning to face the person, she apologized multiple times before telling the driver the address, "Huan Ying Entertainment, thank you . "

Xu Jiamu was a good friend she had grown up with . If it wasn't for him, she would have never been able to get together with Lu Jinnian . If it wasn't for him, she would have never easily ended her marriage . . . Xu Jiamu was always a brotherly figure, protecting her selflessly, but Lu Jinnian was the man she was in love with for thirteen years .

The same blood flowed in their veins, and she wished that they would both be happy . She didn't want anything to get between them, so she wanted to clarify Lu Jinnian's motives .

–

After the news were exposed, Lu Jinnian's phone never stopped ringing . Every time a call came in, he would briefly glance at the phone, never once accepting . His calm demeanor seemed to show his confidence as he waited for one specific call .

The call came in earlier than expected . When he saw the words "Han Ruchu" on the screen, his lips curled into a smirk . Staring without a blink at the screen, he slowly placed the document he was working on aside and accepted the call . Casually, he strolled to the window, not saying a word . His eyes seemed to turn to ice .

After a long moment of silence, Han Ruchu, who had always been strong in the face of a crisis, finally broke down . "Why did you do it? You . . . "
