The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 956 - 357: Even If I Knew, I Wouldn’t Tell You

Lu Jingchen’s face looked extremely unpleasant, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions. Slowly, his expression became very cold, but he couldn’t control the force with which he grasped Ning Wan’s hand.

Ning Wan only felt that her arm was being painfully gripped by the man, as if it would break if he applied just a little more force.

Her face turned pale from the pain in her arm, yet when faced with Lu Jingchen’s questioning, she first let out a cold laugh, and then she spoke, "Qiaoqiao no longer has anything to do with your Lu Family. She signed the divorce agreement back then, and now you’re just missing a divorce certificate. Once the divorce agreement takes effect, you will only be former husband and wife. Don’t say I don’t know where Qiaoqiao is, even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you her whereabouts."

She spoke clearly, each word tinged with a sense of mockery.

The light from the streetlamp fell directly on the man, yet it only vaguely revealed his features, making it hard to discern his emotions.

Lu Jingchen lowered his eyes to look at Ning Wan in front of him. He had to admit that Ning Wan’s personality was very different from Song Qiao’s, and he was very clear that no matter how much he pressured her, she would not tell him where Song Qiao was.

It was unclear how much time passed, but they remained like that for a long time, neither speaking, only the sound of the car engine could be heard.

When Xi Mohan and Tan Shuya arrived, they happened to see Lu Jingchen gripping Ning Wan’s arm, and Ning Wan’s face was somewhat pale, clearly in great pain.

Xi Mohan roughly understood the situation and rushed over, grabbing Lu Jingchen’s arm and speaking in a deep voice, "Jingchen, what are you doing? Ning Wan just came to bring your family’s child; she doesn’t know where Song Qiao is."

Ning Wan is his woman, Song Qiao is Lu Jingchen’s woman; sometimes Xi Mohan found their relationship difficult to describe.

Lu Jingchen lightly pursed his thin lips, his gaze falling on Xi Mohan, then returning to Ning Wan. He didn’t immediately let go of her arm and after a long moment, his thin lips parted slightly to ask again, "Ning Wan, do you really not know where Song Qiao is?"

Ning Wan’s arm hurt so much that she couldn’t help but bite her lip, and when she heard Lu Jingchen’s question, she responded without thinking, "I don’t know."

After a pause, she continued, "Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you where she is. Your Lu Family caused her so much pain, did anyone consider her feelings? Moreover, even if you find out where she is, what will you do? Bring her back to An City? Lu Jingchen, don’t forget, your father doesn’t like Song Qiao, nor does he allow her to be the mistress of your family. Even if you bring her back, you will only cause her more harm. Besides, Song Qiao doesn’t want to see you now; she’s finally left your world and doesn’t want you to disturb her life."

After speaking, she fell silent for a few seconds, her gaze fleetingly falling on the slightly bewildered Tan Shuya standing not far away, and she laughed, "Moreover, you already have a new love; Song Qiao can at most be considered your ex-wife or old flame. Aren’t men always fond of the new and tired of the old? I don’t ask for much; I just hope you treat your son well."

Lu Jingchen remained silent, listening to her words, his deep eyes always holding a cold glint. After Ning Wan finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent.

Nobody knew how long this silence lasted. The man released Ning Wan’s arm, shook off Xi Mohan’s grip on him, and without looking back, turned towards the car behind him, soon starting it and leaving.

Tan Shuya watched Lu Jingchen leave, wanting to follow, but in the end, she gave up.

Her gaze fell on Ning Wan, her eyes dark and inscrutable.

Xi Mohan watched the direction of Lu Jingchen’s car, took out his phone, and called Assistant Xue, instructing him to find Lu Jingchen, worried about what might happen given his current emotions. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Just after putting down the phone, he looked up and saw that Ning Wan had already walked a considerable distance away from him. His face immediately turned cold, and without thinking, he chased after her and grabbed her arm, speaking coldly, "Where are you planning to go? Walking back?"

Ning Wan felt her arm finally not hurting as much, but when Xi Mohan grabbed it, a rush of pain made her gasp.

Hearing her voice, Xi Mohan instinctively released her arm.

From the moment the banquet started, Ning Wan was already filled with anger, and now, with Xi Mohan pestering her, the anger found an outlet. She glared angrily at the man in front of her and cursed, "Xi Mohan, are you out of your mind? Can you please not follow me? Do you know how annoyed I am by looking at you? I’m no longer bothering you or pestering you; shouldn’t you be happy?"

As Ning Wan spoke, her eyes couldn’t help but redden. For a moment, she felt utterly helpless, a sense of grievance overwhelming her, making her want to cry.

She had liked this man for over ten years, wasting much of her youth on him, yet all she received was his hurt.

Back then, she was hurt all over but foolishly didn’t turn back, stubbornly presenting herself to this man, allowing him to hurt her without reserve.

When she finally decided to give up on this love affair she had pursued for more than a decade, this man shamelessly approached her again.

She was utterly tired of it, wishing she could disappear from this world.

Hearing Ning Wan’s words, Xi Mohan lightly pursed his thin lips, his face maintaining its usual indifference and impermeability.

After Ning Wan finished speaking, he calmly said, "I’ll take you back."

Ning Wan saw his unchanged expression, no matter how harshly she spoke, and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness enveloped her.
