The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 231 - 132: Looking Upset, Did You Argue with Your Wife?

Chapter 231: Chapter 132: Looking Upset, Did You Argue with Your Wife?

"What, you want to divorce my brother?" Lu An’an looked at Song Qiao in shock, hardly believing what she just heard and blurted out in surprise.

However, after she finished speaking, she realized she might have given herself away and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes carrying a trace of embarrassment as she looked at Song Qiao.

Song Qiao, having just gotten up from bed, initially thought Lu An’an had called her by the wrong name. Seeing Lu An’an looking guilty as if caught stealing, she immediately narrowed her eyes and asked, "Sister An’an, what did you just call Lu Jingchen?"

"Nothing, you must have heard wrong." Lu An’an awkwardly turned her head away, not daring to look at Song Qiao’s face, and continued in a last-ditch effort, "I was just asking, do you really want to divorce Mr. Lu?"

Nobody outside knows yet that she is Lu Jingchen’s sister, as she has always kept her identity extremely secret, so much so that even after working for so many years, no one knew about this aspect of her identity.

But just now, when she heard Song Qiao say she wanted to divorce her big brother, Lu An’an got so agitated that she slipped up.

Subconsciously, she felt Song Qiao was quite compatible with her big brother. That Zuo Yuqing was simply unbearable, just the sight of her was displeasing.

"Sister An’an!" Far from intending to let her off so easily, with a faint smile on her face, she leaned back on the bed and looked at the woman whose head was nearly lowered to the lunch box, chuckled, and said, "I think I just heard you say ’You want to divorce my brother?’ If I haven’t lost my memory, my marriage partner is Lu Jingchen. How come I didn’t know you had another brother? Is the police department your brother too?"

While it was shocking that Lu Jingchen is Lu An’an’s brother, this news was a bit...hard for her to believe.

But she had previously guessed that Lu An’an did not come from an ordinary family, because whether it was in Lu An’an’s behavior or her demeanor, she could see something like the special learning she had received from childhood.

She had never asked about Lu An’an’s background, because in her heart, Lu An’an was like an elder sister to her, always taking care of her, helping her, even teaching her at the company.

However, she had not expected that both Lu An’an and Lu Jingchen had the Lu surname, and were actually siblings.

Although Lu An’an was still planning to struggle desperately, once she turned her head and saw Song Qiao’s face, full of attractive smiles, surely to become her sister-in-law, always around in the house, how could she hide it for a lifetime?

Eventually, she gave up the struggle, sighed slightly and confessed, "Lu Jingchen and I... are half-siblings with the same father but different mothers."

Even though she was prepared mentally, hearing Lu An’an admit it, Song Qiao still felt like she was struck by lightning, a bit stunned as she said, "So there’s been a real young lady fighting for jobs with me all this time."

The stature of the Lu family in An City, who doesn’t know?

The Lu family not only owns CK Corporation, but also several smaller companies. As Song Qiao knows, CK has been managed by Lu Jingchen’s father for over twenty years before passing it to Lu Jingchen, and being the legitimate members of the Lu family, CK represents the Lu family.

Aside from CK Corporation, if Song Qiao remembers correctly, Lu Jingchen also has an uncle who possesses a top 500 global listed company, apparently involved in electronics, specializing in mobile phone brand marketing.

With the Lu family’s expansive business and influence, naturally having members in commercial, military, and political circles, it seems that either an uncle or possibly an older relative of Lu Jingchen holds a significant position in the government, often seen on television.

By all rights, Lu An’an should have been a young lady born with a silver spoon, not working as an agent. But who would have thought... she really just took such a simple job.

Hearing Song Qiao’s words, Lu An’an felt a mix of laughter and tears, poured some soup for her, placed it in front of her before speaking, "You think I have too much money. Actually, my worth is not that much."

"Is it not?" murmured Song Qiao, reaching for the bowl in her hands, brought it up to her lips, and tasted the soup. Delicious.

Lu An’an paused, looked at Song Qiao, and continued without intending to hide anything, "My mother was someone my father accidentally slept with when he was drunk outside, which is to say, I am an unintended consequence. My aunt is my father’s legal wife..."

Lu An’an spoke about her origin and birth with an extremely calm tone.

Song Qiao sipped the soup in the bowl, quietly leaning on the hospital bed and listening.

It turns out that Lu An’an’s mother was not an ordinary woman. She was born into a well-off family, and the affair with Lu Jingchen’s father happened on her twentieth birthday.

As for the specifics, Lu An’an said her mother didn’t know exactly; she only remembered celebrating her birthday in a bar with a group of classmates—it was her first time entering a bar up to that age. Later, after becoming drunk and waking up, she found herself sleeping next to a strange man.

When that man woke up and saw a strange woman lying beside him, he was greatly startled and looked very panicked. Later, Lu An’an’s mother learned that this man was the eldest young master of the Lu Family. At that time, Lu Jingchen’s father was already quite famed in An City, young and capable, the chief executive of CK Group. Moreover, he had a virtuous wife and a son who was just a few months old, known as one of An City’s rare good men.

Afterward, everyone understood that it was an accident, getting drunk and sleeping together unintentionally, and relationships unfolded mysteriously after alcohol-induced chaos.

At that time, Lu Jingchen’s father was deeply in love with Lu An’an’s mother. He was extremely remorseful afterward. Although Lu An’an’s mother was somewhat at a disadvantage, having been deprived of her first time, she knew it was not entirely Lu Jingchen’s father’s fault. After that day, she left An City, and even Lu An’an’s maternal grandparents also moved away from An City, and nobody knew where their family went.

Lu An’an said that when her mother discovered she was pregnant, she was also extremely shocked. Lu An’an’s grandfather initially wanted her to abort the child, and indeed, it was decided at first. However, later on, they chose not to and decided to keep the baby.

Because Lu An’an’s mother was the only daughter, knowing his daughter had gotten into trouble, her grandfather decided to avoid the scandal by leaving An City with his pregnant daughter to return to their rural hometown. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Until Lu An’an was seven years old, her mother, suffering from severe depression, ended her life one early morning. Since Lu An’an’s grandfather had only this daughter, the grief-stricken elderly man died shortly after, leaving the seven-year-old Lu An’an alone in the world.

How Lu Jingchen’s father knew he had a daughter, Lu An’an does not know and does not want to know.

She only remembers being nearly shattered when she lost her mother and grandfather overnight in her youth, and later was sent to an orphanage, where she stayed for two months before being picked up by Lu Jingchen’s father and brought back to the Lu Family.

...

Quietly listening to Lu An’an talk about her origins, from her birth, to her mother’s death, then her grandfather’s death, and finally her return to the Lu Family.

As Song Qiao held the bowl, looking at Lu An’an, her heart inexplicably ached. Seeing Lu An’an’s casual expression, she knew very well that inside, she was still struggling. It took a while before she found her voice again, asking, "An’an sister, have you been happy in the Lu Family?"

Startled by Song Qiao’s question, Lu An’an nodded and replied with a smile, "I’ve been quite happy in the Lu Family. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t be welcomed, but after arriving, everyone in the family treated me very nicely, especially my brother. When I was a child, if anyone bullied me, he would rush to beat them up. And my aunt, although my father had an accidental relationship with my mother because of drunkenness resulting in me, she said that my mother wasn’t at fault either since she was also drunk. So from the moment I entered the Lu Family, my aunt has been very kind to me, treating me almost as her own daughter—sometimes even better than how she treats my brother, making him suspect if he was picked up from somewhere else."

Listening to Lu An’an, Song Qiao unwittingly let out a sigh of relief, almost subconsciously speaking, "Sister An’an, you are very fortunate."

Lu An’an was taken aback, staring blankly at Song Qiao and then remembering the strained relationship between Song Qiao and her father, she smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao, once you are better, let my brother take you home. My aunt and my father will definitely like you a lot. My aunt is a very gentle woman, easy to please, and although my father might seem tough to talk to, looking cold, if you are patient, you can also touch his heart."

Song Qiao was startled, her discomfort apparent as she bowed her head and murmured, "Who said I would go back with Lu Jingchen?"

...

Xi Mohan came from his home to Night City, and upon finding Lu Jingchen, noticed the man’s gloomy and unwelcoming presence, clearly in a bad mood.

With an unchanged expression but a hint of surprise in his eyes, he sat down beside him, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked, "What’s wrong? You look upset, had a fight with your wife?"

Lu Jingchen glanced at him lightly and didn’t respond. Instead, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and then coldly scoffed, his eyes filled with unvanished anger, evidently even more upset.

Yo, guessed right?
