Volume 1 Rebirth Chapter 21 Great Joy and Sorrow

  "Let's celebrate with Professor Li and them tonight." Sun Wanming said with a smile.

  Lu Xiaoqian smiled and nodded, perhaps this was the last time they would have dinner together.

  "Today everything good has fallen on me!" Sun Wanming danced with joy.

  The company that was originally going to collapse has risen, with unlimited prospects! I will soon become a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences myself. My husband, who didn't live up to expectations, promised not to gamble again, and we're happy now...

  "Don't worry, Xiao Qian! That 10 million loan, I'll talk to my grandfather and let him pay it first. Once we're profitable, we'll return the money to him." The debt was Sun Wanming's only concern, but now it didn't seem like a big deal anymore.

  Lu Xiaoqian smiled slightly, he didn't intend to let others pay off his debts. When the time comes, he will divorce and then repay the loan, and he and Sun Wenhui will be even.

  "Betrayer of my love, you owe a debt to your conscience, and when I finally knew the truth, tears fell from my eyes..." The phone on Sun Wanming's desk played Mu Rong Xiao's hit song "Love for Sale".

  "Hello, Little Auntie." Sun Wanming picked up the phone, which was a call from Bai Yanni.

  "Wanmei, I have something to tell you." Bai Yanni's voice came from the phone: "Is Lu Xiaoqian by your side? If so, ask him to leave."

  Sun Wanming looked at Lu Xiaoqian with a puzzled expression, then smiled apologetically and said softly: "Xiaoqian, you go out for a moment, I'll answer this call."

  After Lu Xiaoqian left the office, Sun Wanming furrowed her brow and asked: "He's gone, Auntie, what's up?"

  "Lu Xiaoqian has split her legs!"

  Sun Wanming heard the words and almost dropped the phone on the ground, hastily asking: "What's going on? How did you know?"

  "He got into a fight with the mayor's daughter, Lan Ran, and five thugs at the library this morning, even pulling out a knife." Bai Yanni seemed to be intentionally creating suspense, starting with a cliffhanger.

  "What?!" Sun Wanming's face fell, "But he doesn't have any injuries on him, and he wasn't caught either."

  Bai Yanni explained: "He sent all five kids to the hospital, and one of them was seriously injured! He knows Zhou Jie, the boss of an underground casino with ties to organized crime, and had Zhou Jie call Director Zhou to smooth things over. And tonight, Lu Xiaochi has arranged to go gamble with that underworld leader Zhou Jie!"

  "What? Didn't he say he wasn't gambling anymore?"

  "You also believe in what this kind of person says, listen to me and I'll tell you later." Bai Yanni cleared her throat. "Later, that Lanlan called Mayor Wang's secretary. Not long after, the leader asked me to personally go and resolve it, and I was present at the time. That Lanlan claimed that Lu Xiaoqian was his brother, and even put his arm around Lu Xiaoqian's arm, but Lu Xiaoqian didn't object."

  Sun Wanming's face began to sink, although she had the heart to call Lu Xiaochi over to ask him a question, but still patiently listened to Sun Wanming finish speaking.

  "After I caught those thugs, I drove an ordinary car to monitor them from a distance. The two of them strolled hand in hand on the street for a while before going to the Hangzhou Hotel."

  "Hotel?" Sun Wanming's head buzzed for a moment. Just now when she called Lu Xiaoqian, Lu Xiaoqian said he had just left the hotel.

  "What's wrong, Wanming?" asked Bai Yanni, detecting a change in Sun Wanming's tone.

  "No, nothing. Little aunt, you continue." Sun Wanming's heart was extremely desolate, and he didn't expect that he had just come out of the gentle village.

  "Later, the two of them had a 5,000 yuan meal, paid by Lu Xiaoqian. Then Lu Xiaoqian opened a room and took the girl in with his arm around her." Bai Yanni couldn't help but laugh slyly and said: "Wan Meng? What's wrong with Lu Xiaoqian?"

  "Huh? What aspect?" Sun Wanming was initially confused, but upon hearing Bai Yanni's laughter, her face turned red and she said: "We haven't done that in half a year, maybe..." Sun Wanming felt a little relieved by Lu Xiaochi's "incompetence".

  Bai Yanni slapped the table on the other end of the phone, interrupting Sun Wanming's words: "Lu Xiaoqian entered the guest room and soon a woman's moans were heard from inside. After a while, Lu Xiaoqian rushed out in a hurry. Then he asked the service staff where there was a pharmacy, definitely because he couldn't get it up. After buying medicine, he hastily returned to the hotel and met me in the lobby, but his anxious appearance didn't recognize me at all. Later, I waited for an hour at the hotel entrance before he came out, answered a phone call, and hurried away."

  Sun Wanming's phone had slipped onto the table, her face ashen. Swindler! A thorough swindler! Just now she was actually deceived by this swindler! In an hour, two people did everything! Sun Wanming sat in a chair, her whole body trembling with anger, staring fixedly at the figure of the person at the door.

  "Wan Niang? Wan Niang, what's wrong?" White Yanni's urgent voice came from the receiver.

  "Oh, I'm fine, Little Auntie. You can hang up first." Sun Wanming said and hung up the phone first.

  Is this true? Sun Wanming didn't dare to fully believe it, and she didn't want to believe it either. One thing was clear: Lu Xiaoqian had no money. Eating wild vegetables, wearing street stall goods, doing manual labor, and coming back at midnight with mud all over him without having eaten dinner yet - all of this showed that he wouldn't have any money. Moreover, Lu Xiaoqian couldn't possibly fight five people; with his usual timid personality, it was a miracle if he could even hit someone.

  It's better if it's all false, if it's true. Sun Wanming's eyes turned red and she didn't want to think about it anymore.

  After thinking for a moment, Sun Wanming said towards the outside of the door: "Lu Xiaochi!"

  "What's wrong, Wanxiang?" Lu Xiaoqian heard the voice and quickly pushed open the door to enter. He had just used his Heavenly Eye to see Sun Wanxiang answering the phone with a increasingly ugly expression, and finally even looked at the outside of the door with a murderous gaze that made him feel suspicious.

  "You!" Sun Wanming suddenly stood up, but sat down again after a moment, as if suppressing some emotions and asked: "Are you going to gamble again tonight?" Sun Wanming decided to start from the beginning and not miss anything.

  "Oh, yeah." Lu Xiaoqian was very honest, whether she gambled or not had nothing to do with this woman who wanted a divorce.

  "Didn't you say you weren't going to gamble anymore?" Sun Wanming shouted, slamming her hand on the table.

  "Did I say that?" Lu Xiaoqian said with an innocent face, "When did I ever say that?" This person was fine just a moment ago, how could he change his expression so quickly.
