Chapter 313 - Who Are You More Satisfied With? (1)

Su Jianan ignored Xiao Ying’s doubtful eyes and went back to the office.

Just after sitting down, the phone was gently vibrating in the bag. She inexplicably had a bad feeling. She took out the phone and found it really was Kang Ruicheng’s phone number.

“Jianan,” Kang Ruicheng’s leisurely voice revealed a deadly threat. “Today’s news was the last thing I could help you. If you can’t let Lu Boyan sign the agreement, I will Let Lu Boyan get into trouble again.”

“Kang Ruicheng!” Su Jianan suddenly stood up. “What are you going to do? You promised me that you would not use the information to find trouble with him!”

Silent for a moment, Kang Ruicheng’s laughter came. “It is pretty fun to scare you.”

“…”

“I just ask you to hurry up, don’t try to delay.” Kang Ruicheng said, “My patience is wearing thin!” He hung up after he finished talking.

Su Jianan fell into the office chair faintly and even did not notice that Jiang Shaokai came in.

Jiang Shaokai was late today because he was called back home by his father when he woke up. His father scolded him so hard that even his mother could not defend him.

However, he never admitted or denied his relationship with Su Jianan. He needed to ask Su Jianan. Otherwise, if he explained to his father that this was a misunderstanding, Lu Boyan could easily find out the truth. Then, what Su Jianan did all was in vain.

He rushed to the office but did not expect that Su Jianan looked as if she had lost her soul.

Jiang Shaokai touched Su Jianan’s arm. “Are you so sad?”

Su Jianan came to her senses and saw Jiang Shaokai. Suddenly she was relieved, and told him what happened. “Kang Ruicheng just called me.”

Jiang Shaokai did not need to think to know what Kang Ruicheng said, and he asked Su Jianan, “Is Lu Boyan still not willing to sign?”

“He said…” Su Jianan was so sad as she thought of what Lu Boyan said. “It’s impossible for the rest of his life.”

Jiang Shaokai was dazed, and while he felt a headache, he couldn’t help laughing. “Then it’s really impossible. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that President Lu’s deeds speak louder than his words?”

Su Jianan was speechless. “… Can you help come up with a solution before you laugh again?”

“It’s not that there’s no way. Making the best of a bad bargain, but… you have to suffer a little.” Jiang Shaokai elaborated on his idea.

After listening to it, Su Jianan couldn’t help but force a smile. “But you are the one who will suffer.”

Jiang Shaokai shrugged. “I am a man, how does it matter? Besides, I can also use this to stop my mother. Otherwise, she’ll try to set up me and Zhou Qilan again.”

Su Jianan was silent for a long time and finally decided to accept Jiang Shaokai’s suggestion. “After the incident, I will apologize to Uncle Jiang and Auntie and explain to them clearly.”

Jiang Shaokai waved his hand. “We can talk about it later.”

The day quickly passed, and soon, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon.

The work had been finished, and Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai got off work on time.

What surprised their colleagues was that they left the police station together. Usually, when the limelight was focused on them, they should at least go out one after the other to avoid the gossip.

In the eyes of the group of colleagues, Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan walked out of the police station.

Unsurprisingly, the reporters and the cameramen smelled the scent of breaking news, and rushed to snap pictures of them.

“Mrs. Lu, will you really divorce Mr. Lu?”

“Mr. Jiang, it was said that you knew Mrs. Lu when you were in college. You like her all the time, right?”

“Mrs. Lu, do you really fall in love with Mr. Jiang when you’re still married and did you betray your husband?”

“Mr. Jiang…”

The questions were getting harsher and harsher. Su Jianan pretended to not hear them, got in Jiang Shaokai’s car, and left.

The media snapped photos again of the car that was driving away. Soon, another piece of news appeared in the network, and once again set off a hurricane in the world of the Internet.

Lu Boyan at once saw the news. Shen Yuechuan happened to sit next to him, and now, Shen Yuechuan’s gaze swept the surroundings—He had to find a safe corner as soon as possible, otherwise, it was not good to hurt himself when Lu Boyan got angry.

But surprisingly, after seeing the news, Lu Boyan closed the webpage and was very calm all the time. Just like seeing the media report Lu Enterprises’ outstanding performance, he was completely cool.

Shen Yuechuan gathered up his nerve and stepped forward. “You are not angry?”

“If she and Jiang Shaokai really have something, at this time, to protect Jiang Shaokai, she should try to avoid being seen with him, rather than show up in front of the media with him.” Lu Boyan’s deep eyes darkened, and they instantly became cold and sharp. “She did this for other purposes.”

Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “According to your logic, maybe she did this for you.”

It was just a joke, but Lu Boyan’s look became serious because of it.

After a long while, Lu Boyan said slowly, “I suspected that perhaps Han Ruoxi used the loan from Huinan Bank to threaten her.”

Shen Yuechuan immediately doubted. “But, Jianan proposed to divorce you after the loan was deposited into Lu Enterprises’ account. Besides, you told her that even if Huinan Bank did not agree to loan you, you still had another way. Therefore, she really needed to compromise with Han Ruoyong unless…”

Lu Boyan had thought of what Shen Yuechuan said, so he did not investigate the meetings of Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi in recent times. However, Shen Yuechuan’s word “unless” had caused his curiosity. “Unless what?”

“Two possibilities.” Shen Yuechuan reached out two fingers and shook them. “First, Jianan really falls in love with others…”

Lu Boyan’s eyes suddenly became cold like a sword, and then they swooshed to Shen Yuechuan. “Get out!”

“Hear me out!” Shen Yuechuan gestured Lu Boyan to calm down. “Second, Han Ruoxi did not only threat Jianan with the loan but had something that made Jianan have to compromise. Such things may be harmful to you or Su Jianan, and may even be harmful to Su Yicheng.”

“…” Lu Boyan raised his chin toward the door of the office. “Get out.”

At least this time, his tone was softer. Shen Yuechuan nodded and got out.

The office room was so quiet that you could even hear a pin drop, and Lu Boyan was squinting and thinking. Having known him for so many years, did Han Ruoxi have the chance to possess something lethal to him?

According to common sense, it was impossible. First, he did not have much dirty laundry. Second, Han Ruoxi was just an actress. No matter how many connections she had in the showbiz, she couldn’t possibly know his past.

If he wanted to make sure, he could only get it from Su Jianan.

While thinking, Lu Boyan dialed the private number of Su Yicheng…

…

Su Yicheng went back home at about seven o’clock. Su Jianan had done three dishes and one soup to wait for him. He first drank a bowl of soup and then told Su Jianan. “Boyan is doubting you.”

“What?”

Su Jianan was shocked and stunned because she did not know if Lu Boyan suspected her pretending to want to divorce, or her… relationship with Jiang Shaokai.

Su Yicheng found Su Jianan was so nervous that she could only keep her eyes wide open and didn’t seem to dare to move. Thus, he shook his head and said, “I got his call when I went off work. He suspected that you proposed the divorce under threat and let me get something out of you.”

“…” Su Jianan couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry, and her eyes were slightly warm.

She looked up at the ceiling until she pushed her tears back so she could look at Su Yicheng. Then, she smiled and got back to her meal.

By now, she had failed to figure out why Lu Boyan was willing to trust her like this. The whole world was accusing her of being scheming and said she didn’t deserve Lu Boyan, yet he still believed that she did not betray him.

She didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh.

However, her sleep improved this night. Although she still woke up very early the next day, her face looked much better than yesterday’s.

After breakfast, Su Yicheng sent Su Jianan to the police station as usual, and he asked her when driving, “Do you need me to contact the media?”

“No,” Su Jianan said, “Let them write whatever they want. But you can do another thing for me.”

Su Yicheng raised his eyebrows. “Tell me.”

“Change to another brand of milk.” Su Jianan said with scorn, “The milk really smells.”

“…”

Su Yicheng was speechless, and Su Jianan had already got off and ran into the police station.

Su Jianan thought that the rumors today would be more serious in the police station, and she also got ready for this. No matter how malicious the speculation was, she could forget it.

However, everyone’s eyes were only weirder today, and without any disguise. They fixed their eyes on her as if she had been carrying countless question marks on her.

Pushing open the door of the office room, she finally knew the reason – Lu Boyan was here.

In fact, they didn’t see each other just for one day, but she felt that it had been as long as one year.

Other than the fatigue between his eyebrows, Lu Boyan was no different from the past. He was still handsome and cold, and still elegantly dressed. Just by sitting behind a simple desk, he looked majestic.

Su Jianan’s gaze fell on his face, but she did not dare to move forward and even wanted to run away.

Lu Boyan seemed to have seen through her thought. He walked over and seized her hand, pulling her into the office and then with a “bam”, he locked the office door from inside.

Su Jianan subconsciously retreated, while Lu Boyan squinted and held her dexterously. She could not retreat but was held back into his arms.

“Let me go!” Su Jianan struggled without hesitation. “Lu Boyan, it’s in the office!”

“Since you know, then don’t move!” Lu Boyan stared dangerously at Su Jianan’s lips. “Otherwise…”

Su Jianan only felt a chill before she had the time to react, and then Lu Boyan’s lips had gently covered hers.

At that moment, Su Jianan suddenly felt as if nothing had happened after they came back from France. Those tears and heartache were just in her dreams, and she and Lu Boyan were still fine.

She closed her eyes and slowly groped to circle her arms around Lu Boyan’s waist. But at that moment, a sudden tingling came from her lips.

Lu Boyan was dissatisfied with her distraction and bit her gently. It was an undeniable order. “Focus.”

Su Jianan suddenly came to her senses – What was she doing!

She pushed Lu Boyan without warning and looked at him with wide and alienated eyes, as if looking at a stranger who did something shocking.

Lu Boyan’s eyes darkened. “Jianan?”

“When are you going to sign the divorce agreement?” Su Jianan said, “I don’t want to put it off anymore.”

She didn’t know which word enraged Lu Boyan, but the temperature around him suddenly dropped. In the next second, Su Jianan had been pressed on the wall by him. He seized her lips overbearingly…
