Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 286: Can We Share a Table?

Zhuang Shuqing fell silent.

If it wasn’t Lu Xiao, then who was it?

Seeing her starting to space out again, Lu Jinyang helplessly rubbed his forehead, "I’ve promised you, once I find out, I’ll tell you."

"Okay. Hey, what are you going to do?"

Suddenly lifted into the air, Zhuang Shuqing instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

All she heard was the man’s low and husky voice ringing in her ear, saying, "For the favor I’m doing you, don’t you think you should compensate me?"

The compensation turned out to be her getting tormented until midnight, falling asleep from exhaustion before he finally stopped.

After Lu Jinyang tucked her in, he got out of bed, walked over to the balcony in the living room, and made a phone call.

"Have you found Qin Huaixin’s whereabouts?"

"Boss, Qin Huaixin did not leave the country. We checked all the domestic flights during this period, and there’s no registration under her name."

Lu Jinyang fell silent for a moment before instructing, "Check the airport surveillance footage."

"Yes!"

After the other party replied, the line went quiet, waiting for Lu Jinyang to speak again.

After a while, Lu Jinyang said, "Check the recent status of Leng Yixing."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jinyang went back to the room, lay down beside the woman, and fell asleep holding her.

With Lu Jinyang busy with something, Zhuang Shuqing decided to take a taxi back to the studio.

As soon as she stepped into the studio, her colleagues swarmed her, chattering about something, making Zhuang Shuqing feel overwhelmed by the noise.

It took her a long time to piece together from their talk what they were trying to express.

Basically, they felt deceived by her secrecy, seeing that she was actually the boss’s wife but people talked about her as if she were the other kind of woman.

After learning the truth, Zhuang Shuqing felt almost struck dead by lightning.

She couldn’t recall ever exposing her identity, so what was going on?

One of the colleagues, who had a louder voice, shouted, "Stop talking, you’re going to scare the boss’s wife."

The reception area fell suddenly silent.

When Secretary Ding heard the news, she hurried over and saw Zhuang Shuqing surrounded by the crowd. Shocked, she immediately dispersed the crowd and led Zhuang Shuqing to the upstairs office.

Zhuang Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness you were here. But what’s got into them?"

Secretary Ding looked at her with surprise, "You don’t remember?"

She shook her head.

Lu Jinyang had not shared the details of last night’s events with her, so she was unaware of the specifics.

After thinking for a moment, Secretary Ding organized her words and repeated the events of the previous night, then asked, "Madam, didn’t the Boss tell you?"

"No."

Secretary Ding: "..." Did she speak out of turn?

Zhuang Shuqing did not notice Secretary Ding’s inner conflict, her mind returning to the USB drive handed to Lu Jinyang by the waitress yesterday morning, which had been given by Lin Xiaoxiao. Could it be that the evidence was in there?

Suddenly remembering that she hadn’t seen Lin Xiaoxiao and Fangfang in the morning, she asked Secretary Ding, "Where’s Lin Xiaoxiao?"

"Madam, Lin Xiaoxiao resigned yesterday, and also, Fangfang has been dismissed by the studio."

Zhuang Shuqing suddenly understood; it seems Lu Jinyang had already seen what was on the USB drive, and thus he took relevant measures in advance.

No wonder she was surrounded as soon as she returned to the studio.

At noon, Zhuang Shuqing called Lu Jinyang, but he didn’t answer. She figured he wouldn’t be back so soon and went out to have lunch.

Halfway through the meal, she ran into an acquaintance.

Oh no, two familiar people to be precise.

The restaurant was busy with people during lunchtime; Zhuang Shuqing sat alone at a table, scanning the place, only to find no spare seats available.

At that moment, a waiter led two people over, politely asking if she could share a table.
