A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 161

It was in the president’s office of Lu Enterprises in City A.

The time in the lower right corner of the computer read 23:07. Lu Boyan had finally finished today’s work.

In order to save time before he married Su Jianan, he usually chose to stay at the company or go to a nearby apartment for one night.

Now, Su Jianan was gone and everything had returned to when it was before their marriage, but he wanted to go back to that home.

The room where he personally chose furniture and home textiles still had her breath. But he knew that it would not last long either, just like the fact that Su Jianan would leave him, these breaths would eventually dissipate one day.

Now, while he could still smell it, he wanted to go back.

Uncle Qian was driving quietly and wanted to say something for a few times, but he managed to swallow them back.

Lu Boyan did this for the sake of Su Jianan, and Uncle Qian knew that it would be useless for them to try to persuade him.

When it was nearly midnight, the black car stopped in front of the villa door. Lu Boyan pushed open the door into the house. The big house was quiet, although there were furniture and valuable decorations, he still felt empty.

The thick sense of tiredness came again. He went upstairs step by step, but he didn’t go back to his own room, instead, he lay down on Su Jianan’s bed.

Breathing her remnant breath, closing his eyes, he could lie to himself that Su Jianan was still here, was still by his side.

“Young Master.” Uncle Xu opened the door and walked in. He put a pair of pajamas the bedside. “Take a bath and sleep.” Do you want to eat something?”

“No need.” He could not make out any flavor now if Su Jianan had not cooked the food. “How is she?”

“Just now, Chief Tang phoned to say that Young Madam has arrived went at Sanqing Town. There was no progress in the case, but there was nothing unusual.”

As long as she was fine.

Lu Boyan raised his arms and covered his eyes. “Uncle Xu, you can leave now.”

“Sleep well.” Uncle Xu silently exited the room and gently closed the door for Lu Boyan.

After a while, Lu Boyan lifted up his hand and got up. He picked up a photo frame on the bedside table.

In the photo frame was Su Jianan’s photo. She took it on the day of her graduation. The tall and thin girl in the photo was wearing a black bachelor’s suit and holding a bunch of delicate white roses in her arms.

Black and white, but the most beautiful thing was her face.

Lu Boyan touched her face with his fingertips and felt that his heart seemed to be caught by an invisible hand. The hand tightened and tightened, causing him to become more and more painful…

He did not know how it had been when the pain slowly disappeared, and then his heart became empty too, turning into a dark bottomless void.

Some people said one’s entire world lay in their heart.

Now that Su Jianan was gone, his heart was empty too.

Later, Lu Boyan didn’t know how he fell asleep, or if he had slept at all. The morning light pa.s.sed through the beige curtains. He opened his eyes and got up, only to find his stomach aching.

The tingling sensation of the stomach was more serious when he had breakfast. Lu Boyan finally couldn’t stand it and had Uncle Xu fetch the stomach medicine for him.

“It must have been because you didn’t eat last night.” Uncle Xu handed the stomach medicine together with a gla.s.s of warm boiled water to Lu Boyan. “You must have breakfast. Yuechuan said that you have engagement at noon.”

Lu Boyan did have an engagement at noon and also met Su Hongyuan the old fox.

Other people at the dinner table didn’t know the true purpose of Su Jianan and Lu Boyan’s marriage. They just envied Su Hongyuan having such an excellent son-in-law like Lu Boyan. They naturally said nice things to Su Hongyuan during the meal and said that Lu Boyan was such a great man.

Su Hongyuan just smiled and waited until other people went out. Finally, he smiled and put down the teacup. “Boyan, how come I heard that you quarreled with Jianan? Why? You should at least can last two years.”

Lu Boyan smiled. “We are quarreling, and Jianan has proposed a divorce to me.”

Su Hongyuan never imagined that Lu Boyan would be so frank. After all, he was experienced in life. He knew that such confession was absolutely not normal. Looking at him carefully, as expected, Su Hongyuan found Lu Boyan’s smile as cold as the winter snow.

“But, Director Su, if you think that when Jianan and I divorce, you can touch her, then you are wrong.” Lu Boyan warned him word by word. “At any time, as long as you dare to move her, within a week, the Su Group will disappear from this world.”

Su Group was Su Family’s business. It had been established in City A many years ago. Su Hongyuan was also a sly character when he was young. During all those hards.h.i.+ps, Su Group survived and stood still. Now he was old, and he also admitted that no one could compete with Lu Boyan in today’s business circle. However—

“Listen to yourself—” Su Hongyuan raised the fragrance-smelling cup, and his movements and tone were all saying sarcasm. “Don’t you think you sound exaggerating?”

Lu Boyan just said flatly, “You can try.”

“…” Su Hongyuan paused during his smelling session. Though on the surface, he concealed the shock very well.

He remembered that at the beginning, the Lu Enterprises was only a small company. At that time, Lu Boyan was still a student. He started the company in the United States, and it was a student entrepreneurs.h.i.+p. No one at home and abroad noticed this small company.

It was not until the Lu Enterprises announced the establishment of the group headquarters in City A, until the Lu Enterprises’ building was unveiled, until the capable Lu Boyan returned with a powerful team, did the older generation said that here came City A’s new era.

Then it really came. Lu Boyan used his strong wrist and decisive style, as well as precise eyesight, to expand Lu Enterprises’ territory in a few years. It took him only ten years to make Lu Enterprises a young but strong company. The company dominated the economic lifeline of half of Asia, and was welcomed by pa.s.sionate young people.

Lu Boyan did not only had the ability, he was also an outstanding leader because the vigor in Lu Enterprises was better than any company’s, and every employee was willing to contribute to the company.

Some said that if Lu Boyan wanted to do something, he would finally succeed at it. Nothing was impossible with him.

If he said that he wanted the Su Group to disappear within a week, he could really do it.

Su Hongyuan put down the fragrance-smell cup and smiled. “Boyan, I don’t mean to be an enemy of you, but you can’t stop me from what I want to do.”

“That depends on what you want to do.” Lu Boyan said, “As long as it has anything to do with Jianan, I will not stand by.”

At this time, other people came back. Su Hongyuan put on the kindly smile that an elder should have, and Lu Boyan also die down his aura, and did not let others see anything wrong with them.

After they finished the meal, Lu Boyan went on Shen Yuechuan’s car. Shen Yuechuan handed him the stomach medicine and a bottle of mineral water. “If you’re not feeling well, go home and rest for the rest of the day.”

Go home?

Before Su Jianan left, that place could still be called a home. But if he went back now, he could only feel a sense of emptiness.

“No need.” After taking the medicine, Lu Boyan rubbed the temple. “Go to the company.”

Shen Yuechuan sighed, started the car and drove to the company.

He really wanted Su Jianan to look at Lu Boyan like this and see if she would feel bad. But then again, what happened to the girl in that remote town?

Su Jianan was very busy, so busy that she was nearly falling apart.

In the murder cases of girls in the town, they could not identify the murderer. He kidnapped 16 of 17 girls to the mountain, raped them and killed them. The found body all had marks of abuse.

For the first time in a peaceful town, such bad cases took place. The family that had daughters were afraid. The families of the victim girls were grief-stricken. They went to the police station to make a scene and asked the police to find out the murderer.

Some family members posted the case on the Internet and cruelly attacked the local police, and thousands of Internet users followed to criticize the relevant departments. The town police station and the city bureau were facing unprecedented pressure.

Captain Yan and Su Jianan were also much stressed. The equipment of the towns.h.i.+p police station was very outdated and there was no monitoring information. The local residents were not willing to cooperate with the investigation in order not to get into trouble. They could only try to find clues in ways used by those detectives in ancient times. Thus, they found it very hard to carry out the investigation.

But such hard work did not completely come without benefits. Su Jianan finally had no time to think about Lu Boyan.

Poor working condition and high-intensity work wore her out. After work, she was feeling completely exhausted. The moment she hit the pillow, she fell asleep. Although Lu Boyan would intrude into her dream, although her empty heart made her want to cry the next morning when she woke up, at least, she could sleep now.

On this day, she received a phone call from Su Yicheng after work.

Su Yicheng may have heard something from someone so he asked her, “Jianan, what happened to you and Lu Boyan?”

“Brother, I am sorry…” Su Jianan apologized to Su Yicheng in a low voice. “I have… proposed a divorce to Lu Boyan…”

Things happened too fast, and… If there was no reason, Su Jianan would not propose a divorce Lu Boyan so easily.

“Jianan, what on earth had happened? Tell me.” He tried to coax the reason out of her.

Su Jianan looked down. After a long while, he told Su Yicheng every detail, including how strange Lu Boyan had become a few days ago.

These days, she had been kept those things to herself and felt suffocating.

After listening to her words, Su Yicheng only felt ridiculous. “Lu Boyan suspects that you love Jiang Shaokai? Everyone says that he has sharp eyes, but in my opinion, I think he’s short-sighted. You’ve loved him for so many years and lived with him for half a year, can’t he feel anything?”

“I do not know.” Su Jianan closed his eyes. “Brother, I know that you have done a lot for me to marry Lu Boyan. Sorry, we just can’t continue.”

“When will you finish your work there?” Su Yicheng asked.

“The case is very tricky, and we are not sure when we will crack it.” Su Jianan said, “Maybe a week, or maybe we have to stay here for more than half a month.”

“Take your time.” Su Yicheng comforted his sister. “Let me handle Lu Boyan, I will take care of it for you.”

“Brother!” Su Jianan yelled at Su Yicheng. “Don’t tell him.” There’s no need to. He told me to leave that day and he just didn’t want to live with me anymore. So forget it, we’d better get a divorce.”

“I know what to do.” Su Yicheng said, “It’s not early, and you still have work tomorrow. Sleep well.”

“Ah, you too.”

Su Jianan hung up the phone and watched the phone return to the main screen. She couldn’t help but tap on Lu Boyan’s profile.

In the end, she still did not dial the number.

It was meaningless, and there was no need to contact him.

Su Yicheng, far away from Su Jianan in City A, also fumbled with his cellphone, thinking about whether he should visit Lu Boyan or not.

Su Jianan said that Lu Boyan became strange, but he always felt that something was wrong. Lu Boyan could not have wanted to leave Su Jianan.

During the past period, he could see clearly how Lu Boyan treated Su Jianan. If it was not out of love, Lu Boyan would never care about Su Jianan like that.

If Lu Boyan was trying to cope with Tang Yulan, it did not make sense either. If that was the case, according to Lu Boyan’s style, he could just give the amount of money that she could not spend to Su Jianan, and tell Tang Yulan that he was very good to Su Jianan.

Things were not as simple as Jianan had thought.

In the end, Su Yicheng decided to take the time to ask someone out to have a chat.
