The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 903 - 316: He Didn’t Expect Lu Jingchen to Know He Brought Song Qiao to the Hotel

Chapter 903: Chapter 316: He Didn’t Expect Lu Jingchen to Know He Brought Song Qiao to the Hotel

Pausing for a moment, Jian Xia’s gaze subtly glanced at Su Yingxue standing next to Vice Director He. Her lips curled into a faint smile that carried a hint of sarcasm as she directly spoke, "Or do you think Miss Su, being the daughter of the Su Family and an artist under CK Group, makes Miss Zuo less important?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a person who looked like an assistant quickly walked to Jian Xia’s side and began speaking softly near her ear.

Su Yingxue noticed the assistant’s vague glances falling on her, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat. A sense of foreboding spread through her mind.

For a moment, no one spoke at the scene. Everyone was aware of Jian Xia’s identity, which surprised many who didn’t know her.

They weren’t familiar with Jian Xia, but that didn’t mean they hadn’t heard of her. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

After the assistant finished speaking, Jian Xia’s expression turned slightly unpleasant, yet she seemed to recall something amusing. When she looked again at the person across from her, her gaze was filled with ridicule aimed at that vice director and Su Yingxue, and she unhesitatingly remarked, "I’ve learned everything about the recent incident. To be honest, Miss Su’s role is dispensable, and the Su Group can withdraw their investment anytime. Or have you forgotten, Miss Zuo is not only a current star actress but also a friend of President Lu of CK Group. Oh... Miss Zuo is also my friend, Vice Director He. You’re my employee; do you plan on harming my friend?"

The vice director’s expression changed, turning pale and then ashen, brilliantly.

She indeed intended to shelter Su Yingxue, having received many benefits from the Su Family, and was ambitious enough to openly confront the director.

Most importantly, the Su Family specifically instructed her to take good care of Su Yingxue in the crew, believing that Su Yingxue, as the Su Family’s daughter and with parents who are Su Group’s chairmen, outpaces a mere actress with no background. Yet she forgot that, despite Su Group’s investment in this drama, it was just a tiny contribution. The greatest investments were first from Huayi Media itself and second from other companies investing heavily for product promotion, whereas Su Group obtained only a minor opportunity to invest later on.

Especially when Jian Xia looked at her with amusement, she belatedly realized that, for Huayi Media, Su Group was insignificant. Moreover, although Zuo Yuqing had no background, she was Lu Jingchen’s first love. Although Lu Jingchen was married now, he apparently had a good relationship with Zuo Yuqing, as evidenced by his high-profile visit yesterday to see her under the pretense of sending everyone food and drinks — suggesting that Zuo Yuqing indeed had a close relationship with Lu Jingchen.

In An City, CK Group nearly monopolizes half of the economic development, and countless people hope to establish ties with Lu Jingchen.

The vice director’s uneasy feelings grew clearer, her complexion paler and paler.

Last night, due to Su Yingxue’s affairs, the Su Group chairman sent her a bank card with tens of thousands in it, asking her to take extra care of Su Yingxue, which led her to hotheadly confront the director today.

Jian Xia watched the vice director’s altered expression keenly, her eyes full of sarcasm. She naturally knew about the vice director’s matters but pretended not to see them.

...

After leaving the set, Lu Jingchen directly took out his phone, where he’d already installed a tracking app on Song Qiao’s phone. Whenever he wished to know her location, he merely needed to check his phone.

This was entirely because Song Qiao had once been taken away by Chu Munan, and to avoid her running away again, he installed it out of concern.

Before long, Song Qiao’s position appeared on his phone.

Seeing the displayed location, Lu Jingchen’s eyes deepened slightly. After sitting silently in the car for a few minutes, Cai Zhijie started the vehicle.

Half an hour later, the car parked outside a hotel. Looking up at the lavish décor that screamed five-star status, Lu Jingchen’s face didn’t seem pleased.

Again glancing at his phone’s map coordinates, Song Qiao’s phone location was indeed here.

Nimbly steering, he drove to the hotel entrance, where the doorman immediately came up to help open the car. Lu Jingchen directly exited, handed his keys to the doorman, who promptly drove away to park the car.

The hotel’s lobby appeared quite modern and minimalist, yet it retained a sense of luxury that signaled the affluent nature of its clientele.

This hotel, named ’Zhi Nian’, had an artistic name with profound meaning. Although it opened only a few years ago in An City, it quickly rose to become one of the city’s most renowned hotels, attracting many celebrities, company executives on business trips, and even the wealthy tourists who often chose this hotel first.

Furthermore, Lu Jingchen knew its behind-the-scenes owner was Chu Munan!

Lu Jingchen headed neither for the elevator nor the front desk but stopped as soon as he entered the lobby. Scanning the surroundings, he directly dialed a phone number.

The call rang for a long time, almost hanging up automatically, when a voice finally came through, "Hello!"

Lu Jingchen’s face carried a hint of gloom, as though suppressing anger, his voice frosty and detached, "Where is she?"

The man on the other end was taken aback, soon recognizing Lu Jingchen’s voice, and couldn’t help but taunt, "What is President Lu saying? I don’t understand!"

Yet Lu Jingchen had no intention of beating around the bush, directly stating, "Chu Munan, don’t play dumb with me. Where’s Song Qiao? She’s still my wife, and being with her at a hotel isn’t decent, is it? Tell me where she is!"

The phone’s other side saw Chu Munan momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected Lu Jingchen to know he’d brought Song Qiao to the hotel.
