Chapter 651 - I Can't Even Tolerate Misunderstandings

“President Lu.” Shen Yuechuan knocked on the door of the president’s office. “Miss Xia is here.”

Lu Boyan looked up and saw Shen Yuechuan and Xia Mili. He gave Shen Yuechuan a look without a trace.

After so many years of tacit understanding, Shen Yuechuan immediately understood what Lu Boyan meant and chose to stay in Lu Boyan’s office.

Lu Boyan greeted Xia Mili and motioned for her to sit down.

Daisy came in with two cups of coffee. Seeing that Shen Yuechuan didn’t intend to leave, she gladly offered him a cup of coffee too.

The door of the office was wide open, and there was a third party in the room—Lu Boyan was obviously trying to avoid the suspicion of being with Xia Mili!

Daisy’s feeling could be described in one word—Cool!

Xia Mili naturally understood everything, but she was smart enough that she didn’t say anything about it.

She sat upright on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and said, “Boss Lu, before we talk about business, I want to converse with you about the photos on the Internet first.”

“There’s nothing worthy to talk about,” Lu Boyan said calmly. “We all know that it’s just a misunderstanding.”

“I’m very sorry,” Xia Mili said, “I shouldn’t have been drunk that day, and I shouldn’t have pestered you in the hotel. But I really didn’t mean to vomit on you.”

“I know. As for getting drunk, I can’t blame you,” Lu Boyan said, “I’ve already asked someone to investigate who took the photos and how they were uploaded to the Internet. There should be an answer soon.”

Xia Mili nodded. “It’s in our best interest to find it out as soon as possible. I also want to know who did these things and what his purpose is.”

“The photos have already affected me. You don’t have to worry. I will deal with it.” Lu Boyan looked at Xia Mili indifferently. “Do you have any ideas or suggestions?”

Xia Mili shook her head apologetically. “I’ve been abroad for too long. And I’m not familiar with the domestic media’s rules at all. So, I’ll leave it to you. I believe in you.”

From the beginning to the end, Xia Mili’s performance looked quite normal. It seemed that she really didn’t know what was going on with those photos, and it appeared that she was not involved in the exposure of them.

Lu Boyan kind of hoped that Xia Mili was not acting, or…

There was a flash of killing intent in Lu Boyan’s eyes, but on the surface, he still looked polite and distant. “When the results come out, I will tell you right away.”

“Okay. There’s something… I don’t know if I should ask.” Xia Mili hesitated. “You said that this matter had already affected you. Did… did it affect your relationship with your wife? If so, I’m terribly sorry.”

Lu Boyan smiled. “My wife and I aren’t so distrustful of each other.”

Xia Mili hid her disappointment and said, “Oh, then what do you mean by the impact? It’s just a misunderstanding. Can’t you explain it to your wife?”

“How is it possible that I can’t explain it clearly?” The first half of Lu Boyan’s voice was still full of love, but when it came to the latter half of the sentence, his voice gradually cooled down. “It’s just that I don’t want such a misunderstanding to happen.”

It was only then that Xia Mili realized that Lu Boyan’s feelings for Su Jian’an had reached the point of bearing no defects

Even if it was just a misunderstanding, which could be explained easily, he could not tolerate it.

How much did he love that woman?

There was obviously something going on in Xia Mili’s heart, but on the surface, she still looked calm. “I’m relieved that you can explain it to your wife. Let’s talk about work, shall we?”

“As for the cooperation, I’ll leave it to Yuechuan for the time being,” Lu Boyan said. “Before I take over the project again, you can talk to Yuechuan about all of it.”

Not only Xia Mili, but even Shen Yuechuan was shocked.

“When did he hand it to me? Why don’t I know anything about it?” Shen Yuechuan thought to himself.

“What the f*ck—f*king damn!”

Although he was roaring in his heart, on the surface, Shen Yuechuan looked like, “Yes, this project already belongs to me.” He made a gentleman’s gesture of “please” and said, “Miss Xia, let’s go to the conference room to talk.”

Xia Mili didn’t react in time.

It was understandable to her that Lu Boyan kept the door of the office open and let Shen Yuechuan be there—Lu Boyan had to avoid being gossiped about his relationship with her.

“But now, he even handed over the project to Shen Yuechuan?”

“What’s the position of Shen Yuechuan? He is just an assistant!”

Xia Mili did not move, and her expression gradually became unpleasant. “Boss Lu, I understand why you did this. But, isn’t this too irresponsible? Special Assistant Shen is just your assistant. If he is in charge of the cooperation and management of the new project between Lu Enterprises and the MR Group, it will arouse suspicion when the news is widespread, won’t it? Happy cooperation requires cooperation between both sides!”

“Yuechuan is my assistant. I know better than anyone how capable he is.” Lu Boyan’s face darkened. “You doubt his ability, which means… you doubt me?”

Xia Mili was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. “I didn’t mean that…”

“I understand why you have such concerns.” Lu Boyan said, “Yuechuan is in charge of the project for the time being. If you or anyone else in MR have any dissatisfaction, I can take over the project again.”

In this way, Lu Boyan had already made a concession.

Xia Mili didn’t know what to say, so she could only agree. “Okay.”

She got up and followed Shen Yuechuan out. When she was about to reach the door of the office, Lu Boyan suddenly added,

“I forgot to tell you that it won’t take long before Yuechuan becomes the vice president of Lu Enterprises.”

Xia Mili looked at Shen Yuechuan in surprise and immediately smiled. “I’ve heard that Mr. Shen is competent. Now it seems that it’s true. I can rest assured that Mr. Shen will be in charge of the project.”

Shen Yuechuan smiled modestly. “Miss Xia, the meeting room is this way—”

On the way to the conference room, Shen Yuechuan was silently cursing Lu Boyan.

Others couldn’t see it, but it was obvious to him that Lu Boyan must have done it on purpose!

“Does he think he can force me to get promoted in this way?”

“Huh, does he think that all those years of working with him are useless?”

He had plenty of ways to deal with him!

Xia Mili just felt that Shen Yuechuan didn’t seem to be very happy and thought that he might be angry about her words just now. She apologized and said, “Special Assistant Shen, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to deny you just now.”

“Hmm?” Shen Yuechuan’s and Xia Mili’s thoughts were totally different. After half a second, he realized what she was talking about. He smiled and said, “What did you say just now? I’m sorry, I have forgotten.”

When he smiled, it couldn’t be more lethal.

He was an elegant hooligan and an evil gentleman. It was perfect to use such contradictory words to describe Shen Yuechuan.

The most important thing was that the whole process of communicating with him could be very pleasant.

Xia Mili smiled. “I finally know why others say that if you want to deal with Lu Boyan, you’ll have to start with Shen Yuechuan.”

First, Shen Yuechuan was easy to get along with.

Secondly, his relationship with Lu Boyan was really unusual. His words were more important than anyone else’s.

Shen Yuechuan just smiled and pushed open the door of the small conference room. “Come in, please.”

By the time they finished their discussion, it was already noon. After he finished lunch in a hurry, it was another busy afternoon waiting for him.

When Shen Yuechuan was about to get off work, he received a call from Henry, who told him that the results of his examination had come out.

He asked directly, “How is it?”

After a moment of silence, Henry said, “Come to the hospital first. Let’s talk face to face.”

The hidden meaning was very obvious—his condition was not very ideal.

Shen Yuechuan lowered his voice. “Okay.”

He soon arrived at the hospital, and Henry placed the report of the examination in front of him. He said with a serious look, “Yuechuan, your condition has begun to worsen.”

“…”

It was obviously the expected answer, but Shen Yuechuan still felt dizzy and everything was dark in front of him.

He continued to say, “Although it’s not very obvious, in the following time, the symptoms will attack you more frequently. If it’s convenient for you, stay in the hospital and start your treatment from now on so that I can acquire your latest condition at any time.”

Shen Yuechuan shook his head. “Not yet.”

Henry still wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by the gesture of his hand.

He closed his eyes, quickly operating his brain. Soon afterward, he had arranged everything in his mind, saying, “I will fully cooperate with the treatment, but right now, there is no need for me to stay in the hospital. Also, don’t tell anyone about this matter. Henry, I cherish my life too, but in terms of time, I have my own plans.”

Henry said helplessly, “Well, I respect your own choice.”

After leaving the hospital, Shen Yuechuan stayed in the car for a long time before he calmed himself down. When he was about to call the driver to drive, his phone suddenly rang.

He thought it was a call from work, but the screen showed Xiao Yunyun’s name.

If there was nothing special, Xiao Yunyun wouldn’t call him.

He picked up the phone without hesitation. Xiao Yunyun’s anxious voice came from the phone. “Shen Yuechuan, where are you?”

Shen Yuechuan told her the address close to the hospital and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m at MiTime, and Qin Han… is in a fight.”

“What’s going on?” As he said that, Shen Yuechuan had already asked the driver to head to MiTime bar.

“I can’t explain it clearly for now, but the manager said that those people knew you.” Xiao Yunyun’s intention was very obvious—she wanted Shen Yuechuan to stop the fight.

“I’ll be there in about 15 minutes.” Shen Yuechuan said, “Whether they fight or not, you should stay away from them. Don’t get involved, and don’t interfere. If someone makes trouble for you, just tell them that you are Su Yicheng and Lu Boyan’s cousin. Do you hear me?”

“I heard you clearly.” Xiao Yunyun’s voice became weaker and weaker.

Only now did Shen Yuechuan remember that Xiao Yunyun might have never seen a fight in her life, let alone a fight involving her boyfriend.

His voice became gentle. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be there in a minute.”

Xiao Yunyun was silent for a moment before she said softly, “Hmm.”

Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and urged the driver to drive faster.

Out of curiosity, the driver asked, “Special Assistant Shen, is it your girlfriend’s call?”

Shen Yuechuan was surprised. “Why did you ask?”

The driver laughed and said, “The tone of your speech just now seemed to tell me that you were talking to your girlfriend.”

Shen Yuechuan was stunned and suddenly fell into silence.

In the face of Xiao Yunyun, at the critical moment, he still couldn’t control himself and accidentally exposed himself.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunyun was in a panic, or she was very worried about Qin Han, so she couldn’t detect the strangeness in his tone.

Otherwise, it would be awkward when they met.

“No.” Shen Yuechuan denied. “It’s Boss Lu’s cousin. She has run into some trouble, so you should take me to MiTime as soon as possible to stop the fight before it gets worse.”

“Okay!”

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the white Land Rover sped up in the direction of the bar…
