”…”this impolite guy!
Lu Zhanbei left without even waiting until the next night.
Lin Wanwan buried her face in his chest and hugged him tightly. “Lu Zhanbei, you must come back quickly.”
“Before I come back, it’s best if you don’t Leave Cloud Garden. If there’s really something, remember to bring someone.”
“Okay.”
Lu Zhanbei lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely.
Through this kiss, Lin Wanwan could feel his reluctance to part. She obediently catered to him until she could not breathe properly.
“Wait for me.”
After leaving these two words, Lu Zhanbei turned around and left.
The night wind lifted the hem of his black windbreaker, adding a sense of solemnity to it.
..
Lin Wanwan stayed at home in peace and waited for the news.
Shen Zhiyi and Ruan Baoer came to visit her and chatted with her for a long time before leaving.
Lin Wanwan ate snacks while watching TV. It looked relaxed, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were unfocused. Clearly, she was distracted.
At this moment, uncle Ying jogged in. “Old Madam Is Here!”
Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she realized that Fu Wanyi had come. She put on her slippers and just ran to the entrance when she saw the future mother-in-law in professional attire walking in. Her expression was usually indifferent, and one could not tell whether she was happy or angry.
“Mother-in-law, why are you here?”
Fu Wanyi did not comment on her address.
“Where’s Zhanbei?”
Lin Wanwan was stunned. “Didn’t you know that he went to country M?”
Fu Wanyi’s brows were tightly knitted for the first time. “Tell me in detail.”
Lin Wanwan repeated what she said to Lu Zhanbei before she left. In the end, she seemed to have thought of something. “Did Lu Zhanbei lie to me? He didn’t inform you and the President at all?”
“Yes.”
Lin Wanwan bit her lip. There was no anger, only worry.
Fu wanyi said, “At most three days. The people from the joint organization will look for him.”
Lin Wanwan tried her best to maintain her composure. “I’ll call him right away to ask him to come back.”
She dialed Lu Zhanbei’s number, but there was a notification that he had turned off his phone.
“Will something happen to him?”
Fu Wanyi looked at her anxious face and said plainly, “My son won’t be so useless. It’s good that he’s not in Xia country. After all, if he can’t find the capital to turn things around, even if he stays, he won’t be able to change anything.”
“But if he doesn’t come back in three days…”
“Escaping for fear of punishment, the punishment will be even worse.”
Lin Wanwan was silent.
Wait another day.
If there was still no news of Lu Zhanbei after one day, she would go to country M to look for him.
Lin Wanwan thickened her skin and pleaded, “Can you help Lu Zhanbei delay for a few days?”
“No.”Fu Wanyi still had a calm expression on her face. “Because I’ve already been suspended.”
“What? !”Lin Wanwan was really shocked.
Fu Wanyi continued to speak slowly, “Dongchen was in the initial stage of his business and needed a partner. I privately took a stake in Dongchen. At the meeting five hours ago, someone revealed this matter and suspected that the reason why Dongchen dared to research illegal products was because I indulged him.”
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, she could only take the initiative to ask for an indefinite suspension.
Lin Wanwan gritted her teeth in hatred. “Who is it?”
Without waiting for Fu Wanyi to speak, her eyes narrowed and she gave the answer herself. “Is it your brother?”
Fu Wanyi was a little surprised this time.
She and her brother had always been the most powerful candidates to compete for the presidency. In the eyes of others, this pair of blood-related siblings was a benign and fair competition. Even Fu Wanyi thought so too.
It was not until she was stabbed that she realized.
The so-called siblings lost to power after all.
