A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 99 Why Should I Obey You

Chapter 99 Why Should I Obey You

Han Ruoxi’s friend was exposed to have dated a married rich second generation secretly in the wild for pleasure and suffered the explosion of her luxury car.

Anyone who knew Han Ruoxi must know that her best friend was the younger daughter of the Chen Family. They often interacted with each other on social platforms and in private. The media workers could take photos of Han Ruoxi and Chen Xuanxuan going shopping and drinking teas together from time to time.

However, Chen Xuanxuan was not a star after all. Even if her photo was in the newspaper, the topic of the media would still be focused on Han Ruoxi, and they would at most only mention her proud family background and her deep friendship with Han Ruoxi.

This was the first time that the media had used more words to talk about Chen Xuanxuan instead of Han Ruoxi when their names appeared in the newspaper together.

A reporter photographed Chen Xuanxuan driving her Lamborghini to the suburbs after having dinner in a western restaurant and meeting with the president of a group.

The president was married. More ironically, it was said that his wife was also Chen Xuanxuan’s good friend.

Once Chen Xuanxuan and the president met, they hugged and kissed each other devotedly. When their feelings were strong, they both entered into the deserted woods while still hugging each other. Their luxury cars which worth tens of millions were abandoned on the road.

Unexpectedly, before long, Chen Xuanxuan’s Lamborghini suddenly exploded. When the two rushed out of the woods, their clothes were in a disarray. What they were about to do was self-evident, and they were obviously two recidivists.

The scandal overwhelmed Chen Xuanxuan, and the celebrities in her circle all said that they would break off all relations with her and they would not make friends with people like her. The ladies said that their daughters should not only be affluent materially but also be affluent mentally and have correct values.

The eminent Chen Family suddenly became a negative example of rich and wealthy families. The news was a real headache to the family, however, their biggest problem was not this, but—

“The Chen Family was involved in continuous scandal: ‘Kitchen of Chen’, the chain restaurants of the family, were exposed to have substandard sanitation and disinfection. Eight of their twenty restaurants in the first-tier cities which were sampled did not meet the hygiene requirements.”

Before today, the chain restaurants of the Chen Family, Kitchen of Chen, were the most popular chain restaurants in the first-tier cities and second-tier cities. The price of which was affordable to the people, and the restaurants had a comfortable environment and were open for 17 hours a day. They were specially opened near office buildings and in crowded places. Restaurant seats were often in short supply in rush time.

However, today, the eight restaurants which were substandard in sanitation and disinfection had been closed, and the restaurants still in business had little customers. Compared with their popularity in the past, they could only be described as bleak that day.

Both their businesses and family styles had been involved in scandals. It was obvious that someone was behind all of this. People who didn’t know the fact watched the scene of bustle, and who knew was well aware.

However, no one figured it out who was behind this; besides, no one would make their guesses online.

Su Jianan put down her iPad and was shocked for a while.

Others might not know who it was, but she thought of a very possible one—Lu Boyan.

Just... Just because Chen Xuanxuan had hurt her, did he do so?

She suddenly remembered that Lu Boyan did not ask her why Chen Xuanxuan hit her but how she hit her yesterday. After she replied, he reacted coldly. She thought that he was just asking her questions casually, but in fact, he remembered it very clearly.

“Jianan, what are you reading? You are so absorbed in it.” Tang Yulan asked.

“Nothing, just some gossips.”

Afraid to be seen something by Tang Yulan, Su Jianan put her iPad back and went to brew a pot of spring tea to chat with Tang Yulan.

At this time, Su Yicheng, who was far away in the CBD, also saw the news.

In contrast, his reaction was much calmer. After reading the news, he put down the newspaper and began to deal with his work. It seemed that he had known Lu Boyan would have done so.

Zhang Mei knocked on the door and came in with a cup of coffee. After that, she did not leave the office.

The tenth anniversary celebration of Lu Enterprises would be held that evening, but... Su Yicheng still did not ask her to accompany him.

Now, not only Luo Xiaoxi and Su Jianan were guessing the relationship between Su Yicheng and her, but all the people in Cheng An Group were guessing it, and Su Yicheng also knew it.

If he took her with him to the celebration tonight, it would be an indirect admission that they were in a relationship. Otherwise... she would be laughed at by everyone in the company tomorrow.

Su Yicheng did not raise his head when he asked, “Miss Zhang, is there anything else?”

“Is there anything that I need to prepare for your attendance at the anniversary celebration of Lu Enterprises tonight?” Zhang Mei asked euphemistically.

Su Yicheng paused turning over the documents. He looked at Zhang Mei and said, “I will tell you if I have something that needs you to do.”

The implication was that since he had not given her any order, he did not need her to do anything, and she did not have to take the initiative to ask him.

Zhang Mei’s heart was sinking. “Is it because Xuanxuan hit your sister that you don’t want me to attend the celebration with you? Yicheng, Xuanxuan and I ...”

“I know it has nothing to do with you.” Su Yicheng interrupted her. “You can rest assured that I will not blame you on this. At the same time, I also hope that you will do your job as well as before. Don’t cross the border—you’re only my subordinate, Miss Zhang. It’s not appropriate for you to call my name.”

His meaning was obvious enough, and Zhang Mei’s heart finally sank to the bottom. “You promised my father, and I thought we...”

Back when her father first sent her to work in Cheng An Group and asked Su Yicheng to take care of her, her father’s intention was already obvious. For so long, Su Yicheng was also very patient to her. He constantly guided her in work and promoted her and also defended her when they were outside. When someone embarrassed her by making fun of her, he would stop them in time...

Su Yicheng treated her differently than other women, so, she had thought that he and his ex-girlfriend broke up because of her. When they went out for a meal and met Lu Boyan and Su Jianan on that day, she thought that she would eventually accompany Su Yicheng to attend the anniversary celebration of Lu Enterprises.

“But he said... What did he mean?”

“Zhang Mei.” Su Yicheng put down his expensive black pen and said, “Your father asked me to take care of you, and I agreed because he once helped me. It has nothing to do with you. If he sent someone else to me, I would also take care of her. If I made you misunderstand something, I apologize to you, and I hope that you can understand my words from now on. Also, I don’t want you to affect your work because of your feelings. If you can’t handle it well, I will transfer you to another department.”

He said calmly, but he did not know that this was a fatal blow to Zhang Mei.

The female staffs of the whole company were waiting to see the ending of her and Su Yicheng. If she was transferred to another department, there would be someone laughing at her in public and secret. But if she stayed here with Su Yicheng, she still had a chance.

“I can!” She raised her lips and instantly became the elegant and capable chief secretary she used to be. “If I can’t handle such a thing well, then I have wasted all my time under your charge. You can rest assured that I won’t let my feelings and work in a conflict.”

Right then, Su Yicheng’s cell phone rang, and at the moment the screen lit up, she inadvertently saw his desktop—Luo Xiaoxi’s photo.

“I will go out and leave you alone.”

As the words fell, Zhang Mei had turned around and no one saw her hand clenched into a fist.

“The desktop of Su Yicheng’s mobile is actually a photo of Luo Xiaoxi. This is impossible. Everyone in the world knows that he hates Luo Xiaoxi!”

What she didn’t know was that it was Luo Xiaoxi who called Su Yicheng.

At this moment, Luo Xiaoxi was exercising on the treadmill. She slowed down her running speed, but she was still gasping when she spoke. It sounded like the groans of a certain moment, and Su Yicheng clenched the phone in his hand. “Luo Xiaoxi, are you deliberate to talk to me like this?”

“You are crazy.” Luo Xiaoxi was not aware of this at all. “What are you talking about? I called to ask you that the last time you told me that you had chosen a female companion for the celebration tonight, who is she? Tell me her name.”

Su Yicheng sneered and asked, “Tell you and then?”

“If I’m right that she is Zhang Mei, I want to drive my car to crash her just like what her cousin did to Jianan,” Luo Xiaoxi answered, “and by the way, I can take revenge for Jianan.”

Su Yicheng believed that Luo Xiaoxi was not joking and really dared to do that. He pressed his temple while saying, “It’s not her. Don’t do silly things.”

“Well, are you worried about me?”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled triumphantly, but then Su Yicheng threw cold water on her with saying, “I’m worried about Zhang Mei.”

“Damn!” Luo Xiaoxi speeded up unwillingly. “In any case, no matter who it is, she will not be able to stay until the end of the night! For the sake of your female companion, I advise you not to take her with you tonight.”

“Luo Xiaoxi, how many times have I warned you?” Su Yicheng almost gnashed his teeth as he spoke. “Don’t let me hear you speak foul words anymore!”

“You want me to do as you said?” Luo Xiaoxi snorted. “I’ve told you to date with me for more than ten years. When have you heard of me! Not at all! Then why should I do what you ask me to do?!”

After she finished her words, she hung up the phone. Even though Su Yicheng couldn’t hear her, he could imagine that she was definitely speaking bad words to him at that moment.

For the first time, he saw someone pursuing others in such a barbaric way without changing her style for more than a decade.

He put down his phone, and the caller’s ID immediately disappeared from the desktop, which was then replaced by a photo of Luo Xiaoxi’s smiling face. Su Yicheng picked up the phone again, turned it upside down in his hands several times, and entered the Settings.

With a few more clicks, the original photo of his desktop would replace the photo of Luo Xiaoxi’s smiling face.

But in the end, he still put down the phone.

In the gym, Luo Xiaoxi just stepped down from the treadmill and received a text message from Qin Wei, who invited her for lunch and said that he had something to tell her. She thought for a while and replied, “Now I have to eat my lunch and dinner in my company because I have to work out to keep my fitness. I can’t eat out with you. What do you want to tell me?”

Qin Wei did not answer her question but just said, “Let’s get out to have a cup of coffee.”

They made an appointment in the coffee shop near Lu Enterprise Media, where it was not far away for Qin Wei to come. Luo Xiaoxi ordered coffee for them as she waited for him. Qin Wei came straight to the point as soon as he arrived. “Did you make Su Yicheng agree to take you to the celebration as his female companion? If you didn’t, I want you to be my companion.”

“It is not the last minute yet, how can we draw conclusions?” Luo Xiaoxi had been pursuing Su Yicheng with this perseverance for so many years. “Su Yicheng is yet to get married. How can I give up now?” “I’ll make him agree that tonight!” she continued.

Qin Wei smiled and said, “Just in case, I will not bring any female companion with me tonight. If you are dismissed by him, I will offer to be your male companion to put on the dog for you.”

Luo Xiaoxi had wanted to praise Qin Wei for his loyalty, but when thinking carefully, she found that it would be a grievance for her friend.

“You’d better bring a girl with you tonight,” she said, “I’ve been rejected by Su Yicheng for so many years. If he rejects me again tonight, I will be able to quickly cheer up. You don’t have to think for me, take care of yourself.”

“I say I won’t take a companion, then I will keep my words.” Qin Wei fiddled with his haircut before the glass window. “In any case, with my handsome appearance, I can hook up with a girl easily in the celebration.”

Luo Xiaoxi nodded. “Yes. I wish you hook up a beautiful girl tonight!”

Qin Wei picked up his coffee cup and touched Luo Xiaoxi’s cup while saying, “I wish you not to be rejected by Su Yicheng this evening.”

Luo Xiaoxi stamped on Qin Wei’s foot under the table and said, “Damn you! If I am rejected by Su Yicheng, you’ll never be able to find a wife for the rest of your life!”

“Huh?” Qin Wei smiled cheekily. “It’s not bad to marry you.”

Luo Xiaoxi rolled eyes at Qin Wei. At this time, she thought that Qin Wei was just joking.
