Qiao Xiaren was relieved that she ca in ti. If sothing truly unpredictable had happened, she wouldn’t have known how to explain it to the old Mr. Lu.
She instinctively swept her gaze over the person on the bed, her eyes narrowing slightly. Half of the side of the face was obscured by a few strands of hair, making it montarily hard to discern the features clearly.
Taking a few steps closer, Qiao Xiaren was slightly stunned—it was actually Ma Bin’s current wife, Lu Xi.
Judging by her state, she seed to be unconscious.
Recalling the shady man in the earlier video, Qiao Xiaren suddenly felt that this entire matter was far more complicated than it appeared.
"Lu Xi? Lu Xi?"
Qiao Xiaren reached out and gently patted her face, noticing that her consciousness was very unclear. Just as she was considering whether she ought to send her to the hospital too, Lu Xi seed to show signs of waking up.
She raised her hand to cover her forehead, apparently feeling so pain, and then slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Qiao Xiaren, she looked surprised: "Miss Qiao? Why is it you? Why are you here?"
"Why am I here?" Qiao Xiaren slowly replied, "Do you not rember what happened earlier?"
Lu Xi seed confused, placing her hand on her throbbing forehead. Qiao Xiaren poured her a glass of water. Only then did Lu Xi realize her throat was terribly parched and gulped down the entire glass of water.
Her consciousness appeared to gradually beco clearer, and Lu Xi slowly started recalling the events of last night.
Last night, she attended a party at Wei Yanyuan’s invitation. Later, she saw those two dogs, Ma Bin and Wang Han, together, but she couldn’t rember much of what happened after that...
Seeing that she truly couldn’t recall, Qiao Xiaren explained the recent events to her.
"Soone drugged you unconscious, then drugged Mr. Lu with sothing unspeakable, and put the two of you in the sa bed together."
"What?" Lu Xi stared at Qiao Xiaren’s calm face in disbelief. "Soone... put on Mr. Lu’s bed?"
In the entire Capital, the only person referred to as Mr. Lu could be none other than Lu Qian.
Having spent years in the entertainnt industry and transitioned into business later in life, Lu Xi naturally knew who Mr. Lu was—the eldest grandson of the Lu Family, one of the four great families.
Suddenly, Lu Xi bit her lower lip hard, sinking her teeth into it viciously. The eyes that had long since lost their brilliance now seed even more lifeless.
Her heart throbbed like it was pierced with needles; she tasted the tallic tang of blood on her lips.
The only person who could give her to another man—besides Ma Bin—was no one else.
He wanted a divorce, wanted to rid himself of her, and used the most extre thod possible to do so.
In that mont, Lu Xi’s emotions erupted. She pushed her hair back from her forehead with trembling hands and began searching for her shoes, intent on leaving this place.
"A man like this—you’re still expecting him to have a change of heart?"
Qiao Xiaren played the role of an observer, posing a question: "Is it worth it?"
That single sentence seed to snap the last thread holding Lu Xi’s mind together.
Lu Xi slowly sank to the ground, wrapping her arms around her knees, and started sobbing uncontrollably. Her heart-wrenching cries carried an indescribable sorrow.
Yes, sorrow.
Once so deeply in love, and now capable of turning against one another in an instant. To achieve a divorce, he could stoop so low as to deliver her to another man.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t speak to console her, knowing that any words at this mont would be utterly aningless.
Lu Xi didn’t know how long she cried. Her hands slowly clenched into fists, though she couldn’t quite understand why she suddenly felt herself calm down.
"Miss Qiao, I’ve troubled you."
Lu Xi’s voice had grown hoarse. She slowly climbed up from the floor, her gaze now clear and sharp.
Qiao Xiaren nodded silently. She had no intention of intervening further in the matters between their marriage. She believed Lu Xi would know what to do, but visiting the hospital to see Lu Qian seed more urgent.
