When he opened the photos, the two people had entered a coffee shop, and shortly after, they drove to a hotel, where Jiang Nanshu followed him inside.
Lu Qingyan lowered his eyes, his expression calm.
“Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu, I’ve finished my report. What do you think?”
The department head looked at the boss at the head of the table with trepidation.
Lu Qingyan, however, stared at Liang Ciqiu’s face.
“Rubbish.”
Department Head: “???”
Woo, woo, is it really that bad? I’ve been called rubbish.
“Mr. Lu, do you have any suggestions for improvement?” The department head pressed, unwilling to give up.
Lu Qingyan finally snapped out of his daze and looked at him, his eyes cold: “Redo it. The meeting was adjourned.”
He stood up abruptly and left without looking back.
Everyone was in an uproar. It had only been half an hour, and it was already over?
Lu Qingyan returned to his office, grabbed his suit jacket, and headed outside.
Ye Yuan quickly caught up: “Mr. Lu, where are you in such a hurry to go?”
Lu Qingyan finally came to his senses and calmed down.
His expression softened: “It’s alright. You can go back to your work.”
Seeing Lu Qingyan leave, Ye Yuan scratched his head in confusion and walked away.
As the office door closed, Lu Qingyan’s expression turned cold again.
Unpleasant memories flooded back.
Wasn’t Liang Ciqiu the first male model Jiang Nanshu chose?
She leaned arrogantly and defiantly against Liang Ciqiu’s chest, looking at him.
At that time, he was not only shocked but also somewhat angry.
Having received a good education, he rarely appeared in such places, not only because of his mother’s abnormal upbringing, but also because he hated these smoky and chaotic places.
He found the claustrophobic and dark environment repulsive.
Lu Qingyan took a deep breath and told himself to calm down. His relationship with Jiang Nanshu had finally improved. He absolutely could not let the appearance of these bugs ruin it.
Lu Qingyan scrolled through the messages Jiang Nanshu had sent him.
She said that she was going shopping with Xu Xi.
Then he dialed Jiang Nanshu’s number.
The call was answered after a few seconds of ringing, and Jiang Nanshu’s clear and pleasant voice came through: “Hello?”
“Where are you?”
Lu Qingyan’s hand trembled slightly.
He used his left hand to control his trembling right hand and asked in a calm voice.
Jiang Nanshu, who was in the hotel, did not notice anything unusual about Lu Qingyan’s voice; she just felt incredibly unlucky.
After hesitating for two seconds, not wanting to reveal that she had been with Liang Ciqiu, she said, “I’m with Xi Xi. I’ll be back in a bit.”
The other party was silent for a full five seconds before replying in a hoarse voice, “Okay.”
A beeping sound came through.
Jiang Nanshu put her phone in her bag, glanced at Liang Ciqiu sitting on the sofa not far away, and asked calmly, “Tell me, who is the person locked up inside?”
However, Liang Ciqiu did not answer her. Instead, he looked at Jiang Nanshu with a strange expression and laughed, “You lied to Lu Qingyan. Why don’t you expose me? You make it seem like we’re having an affair.”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him coldly: “Don’t disgust me. There’s no need for him to misunderstand.”
She was afraid that Lu Qingyan would overthink things again.
Besides, they were in a hotel now.
If it weren’t for the waiter at that coffee shop who was so inconsiderate as to splash her with water, she wouldn’t have come here to change clothes.
Ultimately, the reason she came here was…
Liang Ciqiu said that if this secret got out, Lu Qingyan would go to jail.
Jiang Nanshu sneered, “Speak, who is Lu Qingyan imprisoned?”
Liang Ciqiu looked at her and smiled, his dejected expression completely gone, as if seeing her was something he was very happy about.
“Chu Muxi. He imprisoned Chu Muxi for five years.”
