The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 944 - 345: Lu Jingchen and Xi Mohan—Birds of a Feather in Misfortune

Master Lu’s birthday banquet was held at the Lu Family Mansion, which was the second time it had been opened since thirty years ago when Lu Jingchen’s grandfather held his sixtieth birthday celebration.

Therefore, usually no one can enter here unless invited by the Lu Family.

CK Group is the Lu Family’s enterprise. Over a decade ago, as CK Group started to gradually appear in the public eye, under Master Lu’s management, it slowly developed from a small company into a large enterprise. Later, when Lu Jingchen took over, through his relentless management methods, CK Group further evolved into a multinational corporation. Now, CK Group has monopolized three-fifths of An City’s development.

Perhaps in a few years, CK Group will develop from a multinational corporation into a multi-country enterprise, who knows.

This has been calculated by experts regarding CK Group’s development.

So it can be said that in An City, everyone desires any relationship with the Lu Family, even the slightest association brings immense pride.

And this time’s banquet was not only inviting those from upper-class society but also some reputable and authoritative magazines and newspapers received invitations.

This is why recently, the headlines of various news magazines and newspapers have been about Master Lu’s birthday banquet.

Inside the CEO’s office of CK Group, Lu Jingchen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window gazing outside, without knowing exactly what he was looking at.

The office door was knocked on; the man neither turned around nor made a move, merely saying softly, "Please come in."

The office door was instantly opened from the outside. The sound of leather shoes clicked on the floor. Xi Mohan, clad in his suit, still wore his expressionless, icy face. After scanning the office briefly, he set his gaze on Lu Jingchen’s back.

The man’s eyebrows couldn’t resist raising slightly; then, with long legs wrapped in black suit pants, he strode directly to Lu Jingchen’s side, glancing outwards. Aside from tall buildings, looking up, there was blue sky and white clouds, unclear what was so attractive.

Finding it dull, the man withdrew his gaze and looked nonchalantly at Lu Jingchen beside him, opening his thin lips to say, "I thought you were very busy, turns out you’re busy watching the scenery."

When he arrived, seeing the secretaries outside so busy that they didn’t have time for other tasks, he assumed Lu Jingchen would also be very busy, yet entering found him merely watching the view by the window, unclear what’s attractive.

Upon hearing Xi Mohan’s words, Lu Jingchen chuckled coldly, "If you are here to ask if I’m busy, you may leave."

Xi Mohan maintained a straight face, naturally didn’t leave, instead sneered and remarked, "Have often heard people say, since Song Qiao got divorced, your personality has become colder and more ruthless, turns out it really is..."

Hearing Song Qiao’s name again made the man’s body suddenly tense, uncertain how long it had been since hearing that name? Maybe over half a year. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

After Song Qiao left, almost no one dared mention her name in front of him again, as though the name was taboo.

After she left, he had sent people to find her but whether it was Chu Munan’s scheme, nothing was discovered.

Later, while he investigated secretly, he showed nothing outwardly. Gradually, even his subordinates stopped directly mentioning the name ’Song Qiao’, and the villa he and Song Qiao had lived in post-marriage, he rarely returned to now.

At first, returning would mean facing the quiet of the villa, his heart felt like a gaping hole letting the wind rush in constantly.

At this moment, upon hearing Xi Mohan mention those two words, past memories involuntarily flashed back.

His heart experienced stabbing pains anew, causing him to frown instinctively.

Xi Mohan did not notice Lu Jingchen’s anomaly; seeing him silent, he pondered before continuing, "This world doesn’t only have Song Qiao. Since she heartlessly left, you needn’t necessarily keep searching for her, and even if you find her, are you sure she’ll come back with you?"

However, after Xi Mohan finished, Lu Jingchen cast a mild glance at him, didn’t answer but questioned, "What about you?"

Xi Mohan was momentarily stunned, failing to grasp Lu Jingchen’s meaning immediately.

Lu Jingchen turned to look at him, his tone indifferent as he elaborated, "Isn’t Ning Wan also leaving? And you? This world doesn’t only have Ning Wan. Why have you trapped her in An City?"

Xi Mohan’s expression darkened; handsome face showed signs of displeasure.

Ning Wan...

Thinking of this woman made his brain ache. His attitude towards that little woman had been made clear, but she still intended to leave. What could he do but try every means to prevent it?

If she left again this time, who knows how long it would take to find her.

Glancing indifferently at Lu Jingchen, Xi Mohan snorted without further comment.

The two were indeed close brothers; matters of the heart were rarely straightforward.

Especially since Ning Wan and Song Qiao are best friends...

Briefly, the office plunged into silence once more, as the two similarly tall men stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly gazing at the view outside, perhaps attempting to glean something through the scenery.

Suddenly, as time ticked away, Xi Mohan glanced at his wristwatch, saw it was past four, broke the silence and said, "Heard your old man is supposedly hosting his birthday banquet, but actually plans to pick a wife for you from those young ladies?"

This matter he only saw from those newspapers; having received the invitation, he didn’t expect such a hidden agenda for the banquet this time.

However, it was quite a feat for Master Lu, especially since many women had pursued Lu Jingchen post-Song Qiao’s departure, yet he had them thrown out without regard for their dignity.

Lu Jingchen coldly sneered, "I didn’t know you had become so gossipy."
