The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 829 - 258: He Threatens Her with Her Grandpa

Chapter 829: Chapter 258: He Threatens Her with Her Grandpa

Chu Munan’s voice didn’t intentionally lower, instead, it seemed to have the ability to increase in volume. Not only could Song Qiao right in front of him hear every word clearly, but Lu Jingchen and the others could also hear everything without missing a beat.

Even Chu Mubei, hiding inside the villa and not coming out, heard every word he said clearly.

The little guy leaned against the door, squinting his eyes to peek through the crack and observe the situation outside. Hearing his brother’s words, he almost stumbled and fell.

The little guy turned his head to glance at the bodyguard behind him and whispered softly, "Do you also think my brother is too thick-skinned?"

Clearly, he wanted to steal someone else’s wife, yet he insisted on finding such a reason to sabotage their relationship. Isn’t it a bit shameless?

The bodyguard in black was stunned, evidently not expecting the little master to ask him. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth directly, "The boss isn’t thick-skinned, he’s clever."

Upon hearing this, the little guy was instantly dissatisfied, stretched out his little hand to poke the bodyguard’s belly. Actually, he wanted to poke his forehead but couldn’t reach due to height issues, with a look of exasperation that was somewhat similar to Chu Munan. He directly said, "Do you think that by flattering my brother a bit, he’ll raise your salary? You’re too naive."

A man roughly in his twenties or thirties, being called ’too naive’ by a four or five-year-old child, was indeed quite strange.

Outside, Chu Munan’s words truly darkened Lu Jingchen’s face instantly. His hand at his side clenched into a fist tightly, with an impulse to rush in and give Chu Munan a beating, but he suppressed it desperately and did not act impulsively.

Song Qiao also didn’t expect Chu Munan to say such words, suddenly feeling somewhat at a loss for words.

Actually, Song Qiao had thought of these words before. When she left the Lu Family Mansion earlier, she had considered many possibilities, even contemplating whether to divorce Lu Jingchen directly and let Zuo Yuqing have the position of the Young Mistress of the Lu Family. Although the date for their wedding had been set, letting Zuo Yuqing be the bride was not impossible, right?

Otherwise, she would be occupying the position of the Young Mistress of the Lu Family alone, making it seem like Zuo Yuqing was the third party, or perhaps she herself was the interloper between Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing.

Her delicate lips were lightly pursed, and Song Qiao suddenly couldn’t speak, even her eyes were half-closed, not opening them to look at Lu Jingchen not far away.

Lu Jingchen watched Song Qiao, who had suddenly fallen silent, feeling as if a chunk of his heart had been carved out, leaving an empty hole where the wind was pouring into.

They were merely a dozen steps apart, yet he truly felt at the moment that Song Qiao was drifting further and further away from him.

Taking a step forward, Lu Jingchen fixed his gaze on her face, his deep voice hoarse, "Qiaoqiao, come over, let’s go home!"

His voice carried a focused tenderness, much like a lover’s sweet nothings.

Song Qiao lifted her eyes to look at him but did not walk toward him. She still stood there, staring at him intently, and spoke, "If I go back, what about Zuo Yuqing? Where do you plan to place her?"

Pausing for a moment, the corners of her mouth pulled into a smile, as if she simply wanted to smile, "Are you planning to let her continue being the third party who can’t show her face? You need to care for both me and her, aren’t you tired?"

If he’s not tired, it’s actually not surprising, but she’s exhausted, what’s to be done?

How could Lu Jingchen not discern the meaning in her words, his expression changed involuntarily, becoming more somber. After a long period of staring at her face, he spoke, "Qiaoqiao, our marriage has nothing to do with Zuo Yuqing. Come over now, let’s go home, okay?"

Song Qiao looked at Lu Jingchen, but her eyes were full of disbelief.

It was precisely that look from Song Qiao that seemed to pierce Lu Jingchen’s heart instantly, making his expression even darker, as his voice took on a few cold undertones, "Qiaoqiao, I’ve already said that our matters have nothing to do with Zuo Yuqing. Come over now, let’s go home. If you don’t want to see Zuo Yuqing again, I won’t see her in the future."

Song Qiao bit her lip, her emotions somewhat suppressed, quickly leaving visible teeth marks on her delicate lips, yet she still didn’t move.

Chu Munan, who had been silent earlier, seeing now that Song Qiao wasn’t planning to leave with Lu Jingchen, directly looked at the man outside and said with a smile, "See, Mrs. Lu doesn’t seem to want to leave with you, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Jingchen’s gaze immediately turned to him, those black eyes devoid of emotions, but full of coldness, "Chu Munan, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing Chu Munan standing beside Song Qiao at this moment, the scene was incredibly glaring, making him wish he could shoot him dead.

"What I want, isn’t Mr. Lu more aware than I am?" Chu Munan squinted slightly, looking at Lu Jingchen with a half-smile, and spoke, "Give me Zuo Yuqing."

Lu Jingchen suddenly fell silent and didn’t answer him. The atmosphere around him instantly turned cold.

Chu Munan had already anticipated his reaction, so he didn’t find it strange and spoke calmly, "Look at your wife now, because of that woman’s presence, she doesn’t plan to go home. If you give Zuo Yuqing to me, maybe your wife will agree to come home with you. Does it mean that Mr. Lu truly likes Miss Zuo more than your current wife?"

"Song Qiao." Lu Jingchen did not respond to Chu Munan’s words but instead looked at her. The evening breeze blew gently, and his voice carried a hint of coolness as he called her name, seemingly layered with a hypnotic effect, and spoke, "Do you really wish to believe him instead of me?"

Song Qiao’s fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, but her brows and eyes brewed a shallow smile, "I only believe in what I see, which seems to be not much different from what he says, isn’t it?"

The man’s handsome face instantly turned gloomy, and his anger rapidly spread from the depths of his heart throughout his body. His voice nearly spilled out from his throat, "Song Qiao, am I really so unworthy of your trust? There’s nothing between me and Zuo Yuqing. How many times exactly do you want me to explain it to you?"

Perhaps he inherently disliked explaining himself to others, and at this moment, the man’s face was full of irritation.

For a moment, the heart that was already quite cold became even colder as he saw the woman smiling shallowly and speaking.

Song Qiao continued to purse her lips silently; one reason was she really couldn’t find words to refute, and another reason was that saying more was pointless. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He said there wasn’t anything, then there isn’t anything, right? It’s just a matter of whether she believes it or not.

Before Song Qiao could respond, Lu Jingchen seemed to think of something and stared directly at her, speaking, "Qiaoqiao, you want to leave me, have you thought about your grandfather?"

Song Qiao trembled upon hearing his words, her eyes widening with disbelief, and even looked at him with vigilance, "Lu Jingchen, what do you want to do?"

Her grandfather... Could this man be thinking of using her grandfather to threaten her?

How dare he...

"Come back with me now; you should know that because you are my wife, I have been making sure the hospital takes care of your grandfather, and don’t forget, I paid for your grandfather’s surgery costs." The man looked at her steadily, with none of the previous warmth and affection left, only indifference.

Song Qiao’s hand at her side unconsciously clenched, and she bit her lip with her teeth.

After a long while, she finally made a big decision, coldly smiled, "Alright, I’ll go back with you now."

Saying that, she was about to step forward toward the door.

Chu Munan quickly reached out to grab her arm, frowning slightly as he spoke, "Song Qiao, are you really going back with him just like that?"

Damn, this woman is way too easily threatened, isn’t she?

Song Qiao paused her steps, looked back at Chu Munan, who had a displeased face and furrowed brows, her lips moved, and she spoke, "Thank you for taking me in before. I’ll thank you again if I get the chance."

Lu Jingchen’s words undoubtedly served as a reminder to her that she initially married him because her grandfather needed money for surgery.

An City is Lu Jingchen’s domain, and her grandfather is now aging, with illnesses and injuries possibly coming one after another. If she leaves Lu Jingchen now, in the future when her grandfather’s health might deteriorate, she won’t have to worry about being entangled in the matters between Lu Jingchen and Zuo Yuqing anymore, but what if Lu Jingchen doesn’t let her grandfather go?

The one suffering would be the elderly man.

Finally, the iron door opened, and Song Qiao stepped out, walked directly to the man, and before she could say anything, Lu Jingchen had already grabbed her arm and headed to the car parked there.

He opened the car door and pushed her inside, the motion fluid and seamless. Song Qiao not only felt pain from where the man’s hand gripped her arm, as if it might be dislocated, but also as she was pushed into the car, her head accidentally bumped against the car door, causing her eyes to nearly tear up from the pain.

Once the man got into the car, he directly closed the door. Before Song Qiao could recover, his large hands grasped her waist directly, lifting her up and separating her legs to sit on his lap. She was startled, just about to scream, but the man had already blocked her lips with his.
