Chapter 1227: Chapter 604: Murong Rui Comes to See Lu Jingchen

Regarding Assistant Xue, Song Xi hadn’t had much interaction with him, only having met him a few times. She knew that Assistant Xue was the most valued person by her brother-in-law’s side.

Although Assistant Xue’s title is merely an assistant, in reality, his status is almost comparable to the general manager of the CK Group. Not to mention compared to other company bosses, even those from small companies, they may not have a higher status than Assistant Xue.

Most importantly, in An City, many people want to have a little connection with Lu Jingchen. First, you must get on the good side of Assistant Xue.

Unfortunately, Assistant Xue is an upright youth with very proper values. He doesn’t accept bribes and does his job honestly and sincerely, staying utterly loyal to Lu Jingchen.

Assistant Xue gave a slight nod, took out his document, and handed it to Song Xi, "This is what the president asked me to give to you. It’s the script that was just selected. He hopes you can audition for the male lead."

Song Xi had a good impression of Assistant Xue but did not take it. Instead, she looked at Assistant Xue and said, "Just delivering a script, there’s no need to trouble you for that."

Assistant Xue remained expressionless, "I happened to be handling some affairs nearby, so I brought the script along the way."

Song Xi, "..." Alright, it seems like she was overthinking it.

After accepting the script from Assistant Xue’s hand, Song Xi smiled, "Thanks, I’ll head back to the company first. Please continue with your work, Assistant Xue."

However, just as she turned and walked two steps away, a man’s voice came from behind, "Song Xi, Jiang Yingjie is not suitable for you."

Song Xi’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and she looked down at the floor in front of her. After a long time, she spoke sullenly, "I know."

Saying that, she began to walk towards the company again.

Assistant Xue looked at Song Xi’s back, not moving for a long time until her figure disappeared from sight. Only then did he touch his nose, turn around, and get into his car parked next to him.

...

Tan Shuya was taken by Xu Yan’s men because Tan Shuya had someone kidnap Xu Qian. Of course, Xu Yan wouldn’t let her off easily and directly had his men take her from the hospital.

Lu Jingchen received the news immediately regarding this event.

In the office, Song Qiao sat beside Lu Jingchen, with several documents spread out in front of her. After hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, she couldn’t help but instinctively ask, "Your uncle...he shouldn’t be too...too harsh with Tan Shuya, right?"

Upon hearing her words, Lu Jingchen couldn’t help but correct, "He’s your uncle now too."

Song Qiao, "..." Secretly stuck out her tongue.

Why doesn’t this man grasp the main point? His focus is completely off, isn’t it?

Before Song Qiao could speak more, Lu Jingchen meaningfully said, "That’s not necessarily true. My uncle has always been a huge protector of women. Fortunately, nothing happened to mom this time. Otherwise, I doubt Tan Shuya would survive the night."

If anything had happened to Xu Qian, it’s possible Xu Yan would have killed her on the spot.

Although Xu Yan has been in the military for decades, climbing to such a high position by himself and with a very proper style,

he wouldn’t be so merciful when it comes to his sister.

Remembering a few years ago, someone secretly tried to set up his mother and harm Xu Qian. Xu Yan swiftly kicked that person and their family out of An City, and now they are struggling to make a living in some unknown village.

Song Qiao was somewhat shocked by Lu Jingchen’s words, "Is uncle very frightening?"

"No, he is very good to family."

"What if he doesn’t like me?" Song Qiao started to worry about a different matter now.

After all, this whole incident with Xu Qian getting kidnapped was entirely because of her.

Seeing his young wife looking so worried, Lu Jingchen couldn’t help but soften a bit, then explained, "No, uncle already knows the cause of this matter. He doesn’t dislike you."

Song Xi immediately felt relieved at this.

Just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the office door. Lu Jingchen looked up and simply said, "Come in."

The secretary immediately opened the door and stood at the entrance, saying to Lu Jingchen, "President, Miss Murong is outside saying she wants to see you."

Miss Murong?

Murong Rui...

Song Qiao’s first reaction was Murong Rui. It seems she hadn’t seen Murong Rui since returning to the country.

Lu Jingchen didn’t expect Murong Rui to come seeking him, showing a bit of surprise.

After knowing her possible connection with Tan Shuya in planning the kidnapping of Xu Qian and Song Qiao, his perception of Murong Rui changed significantly. He felt that Murong Rui had become someone unrecognizable, no longer the pure and sweet Murong Rui he once knew.

His gaze fell indifferently on the secretary as he lightly nodded, "Let her in."

"Alright, President." The secretary immediately withdrew.

Hearing Lu Jingchen’s words, Song Qiao couldn’t help but instinctively look at him, nibbling her lips and asking, "Do you need me to step out?"

The man turned his head to look at her, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Why should you step out?"

Song Qiao paused, "Murong Rui probably doesn’t want to see me, and honestly, I don’t really want to see her. Plus, I don’t know if she’s here to discuss important matters with you. It might not be appropriate for me to stay."

Five years ago, her first wedding, which could have been the only one in her life, could have proceeded smoothly and become the most beautiful memory.

However, due to Murong Rui’s appearance, the wedding became her biggest joke at that time.

Even then, it almost caused her depression to relapse.

Therefore, Song Qiao genuinely didn’t want to see Murong Rui, sensing that she was a woman scheming something dangerous and unlikeable.

However, Lu Jingchen looked at her and calmly said, "You don’t need to leave; you can stay right here."

Song Qiao still wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Jingchen’s calm demeanor, she suddenly felt a sense of reassurance, said, "Got it," and obediently sat there.

Murong Rui walked in with an anxious look on her face, relieved that Lu Jingchen had finally agreed to see her. Previously, she had come several times, but Jingchen never saw her.

She walked straight to the office and knocked on the door. Inside, the man’s deep and raspy voice quickly responded with, "Come in," which made her heart start to race.

——Severe cold has taken cold medicine. Too sleepy, there will be only two updates tonight, will make up for it on Saturday, mwah.
