Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Soone Tipped Off
The lawyer teams of both parties have reviewed the contract.
Professionals do professional work. Lu Xining trusts Yu You’s professional level and doesn’t think there would be any problems with this contract.
“I don’t need to take another careful look.”
“If there really are issues with the contract, my perception of Old Xi’s capabilities will significantly diminish.”
It’s like the heroine in a novel, daughter of a real estate tycoon, and the hero is a small fry. In the end, her father, a major player in the real estate industry, gets bankrupted over a missing stone on the road outside a newly handed-over residential area due to the hero’s report. It’s equally laughable.
She doesn’t believe Xi Juan would do sothing so foolish; it would reflect poorly on his understanding of things.
Xi Juan’s gaze was deep; he originally intended to see a panicked expression on her face.
Unfortunately, Lu Xining didn’t fall for it.
At this mont, he felt both appreciative of her observation and acun, and regretful that she wasn’t on his side.
Lu Xining glanced at the shadow pacing back and forth at the door.
The noises deliberately made seed to signal, “You won’t leave through this door if you don’t agree,” which can psychologically induce emotional tension.
To avoid being swayed by the surrounding silence in the private room, the best way is to find sothing to do, to shift focus.
On the tea table in front of her, the teaware and tea leaves were rare high-quality items.
Lu Xining leisurely poured herself a cup of tea, calmly looked at the man opposite, quietly waiting for him to continue speaking.
Compared to her schedule tonight, specially cleared for no disturbances, Xi Juan’s schedule was evidently more urgent.
From entering until now, his phone on the coffee table had lit up several tis.
She took a few sips of tea, noticing that though he didn’t check his phone, his gaze often fell on it, as if waiting for so important signal.
Lu Xining continued to idle away with him.
Cup after cup of tea was drunk, finally waiting for Xi Juan to speak.
“Xiao Lu, since you enjoy tea so much, take your ti to savor it here.”
He implied, “When you savor a satisfying insight, soone will send you back.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xining smiled indifferently.
She set down her teacup, unfazed, and said, “The tea here at Old Xi’s is indeed better than outside, but it hasn’t reached the standard for to stay.”
Lu Xining purposefully took the phone from the coffee table, and it vibrated.
Unlike Xi Juan’s screen facing down, her phone’s screen glared upwards, not afraid of the ssages being seen.
At the sa ti, Xi Juan’s phone also lit up.
“Old Xi, won’t you check the ssages?”
She quickly read her ssages, having already gotten the news she wanted.
Cheng Cang, with forr Chu Family mbers, had already located Haozi, who was now sent to the hospital’s ergency room.
Seeing the smile at the corner of her mouth, Xi Juan knew the content of the ssage.
His expression turned cold, slowly saying, “Xiao Lu, I underestimated you.”
Lu Xining seed cornered, unable to leave, yet it was another level of deception, deliberately showing her helplessness while secretly arranging for people to find them.
Xi Juan lifted his eyes, “How did you know where he was?”
How did she know?
Of course, because soone tipped her off.
She poured herself another cup of warm tea, recalling her previous visit from Shang Yueling, also known as Han Nijuan.
–
When Lu Xining saw Han Nijuan, she almost didn’t recognize her.
The brilliance on her face had long disappeared, overshadowed by a gloomy mood.
The mont Lu Xining appeared, Han Nijuan rushed over and grabbed her hand, her voice urgent and pressing, “Lu Xining, I know you have skills, please save Shang Lvxing!”
Lu Xining frowned, “What happened?”
Originally, Shang Lvxing said, as long as Cheng Cang ca over to help, for any remaining matters, regardless of who approached her, she shouldn’t intervene.
“To save his brother, he got poisoned in Xi Family’s backyard. Those poisons are random and chaotic. I’ve arranged many doctors, but it’s useless!”
Though Han Nijuan wasn’t good at doing things or treating people, her feelings for Shang Lvxing were genuinely sincere.
Lu Xining said, “You get him out, I’ll arrange people to save him.”
“No, you co with !” Han Nijuan pulled her, wanting to head towards the door.
Her tone filled with fear and worry, “I can’t get him out, and even I struggled to get out, but I can take you in.”
Cheng Cang appeared with bodyguards, making it impossible for Han Nijuan to take Lu Xining away, much less to Xi Family’s territory.
“Lu Xining! How can you be so cold-hearted!”
In an instant, Han Nijuan vented her uncontrollable emotions onto Lu Xining.
Lu Xining shook off her hand, “Don’t go crazy here.”
“Am I crazy? Isn’t what I said the truth?”
Han Nijuan frantically rushed over, tugging and pulling, eventually being restrained by bodyguards, preventing her from hurting Lu Xining.
Though restrained physically, her mouth kept delivering accusations.
“If it weren’t for you, how would his brother have gotten into trouble?”
“Just because you insisted on going on the Royal Cruise, he likes you and feared you’d get into trouble, so he insisted on following you aboard. Otherwise, when his brother got into trouble, given his capabilities in Beicheng, how could he not protect his brother!”
Her eyes, filled with anger and jealousy, stared fixedly at Lu Xining’s eyes, accusations spilling out.
At this mont, self-vindicating with soone emotional is ineffective.
Lu Xining sat on the sofa, allowing Han Nijuan to continue her frenzy.
“Even daring to go to Xi Family’s backyard, your people… right! You!”
Han Nijuan spoke to Cheng Cang, “You clearly went together to Xi Family’s backyard, how could you leave the injured him behind!”
Before he could respond, she followed up exalting herself.
“If it weren’t for my tily appearance taking him to Xi Family for treatnt, he’d be dead by now. Yet even so, while unconscious, he called out your na, Lu Xining! Why!”
In Han Nijuan’s chaotic vent, Lu Xining found the critical information.
Xi Family treatnt?
Are there doctors, or… is there a dical laboratory over there?
Though Cheng Cang acted sowhat reckless on normal days, he also caught the loophole in Han Nijuan’s words.
He looked at Lu Xining; their eyes t, understanding each other’s intentions.
Lu Xining deliberately mocked, “Shang Yueling, don’t get irrational here. When Shang Lvxing got into trouble, I wasn’t at the scene, this matter has nothing to do with .”
“How could he fall for a cold-hearted woman like you!”
