Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Lu Xingzhou Insanely Jealous
Chapter 34 -34 Lu Xingzhou Insanely Jealous
That Wu Yingfan is none other than the son of Wu Qiong, a Chinese-American arms dealer in M Country!
Both of his ancestors, he’s someone no one dares to provoke!
“The two little ancestors, let me escort you,” Liu Qinglong instantly turned into a fawning lackey.
At that moment, a Lamborghini pulled up outside the Neon City bar, with Song Xiao sitting in the driver’s seat.
He was about to push the door open and toss the car keys to the valet.
His hand had just touched the door when he caught an unbelievable scene at the entrance of the bar!
Jiang Man was leading the way, followed closely by a boy about her age.
Behind them, astonishingly, was Liu Qinglong, the boss of the Qinglong Gang!
A crowd of people swarmed around them, escorting Jiang Man and the boy into a car.
Song Xiao was so surprised that he didn’t react for a moment.
Not until Liu Qinglong and his entourage had grandly departed did he exclaim, “My God.”
What’s going on?
He had seen very clearly, that person was Jiang Man!
What kind of background does she have to make even the gang boss so servile?
This is crazy!
Song Xiao hurriedly took out his mobile phone, planning to share this explosive news with Lu Xingzhou.
He had just made the call when he hastily canceled it.
It might not be that Jiang Man was so impressive, but perhaps it was the boy beside her who was the big deal.
Who could it be?
Song Xiao began to brainstorm again, but regrettably, he hadn’t gotten a clear look at what the boy looked like.
All his attention had been on Jiang Man and Liu Qinglong just now.
Jiang Man is now the old man’s recognized granddaughter, which makes her his sworn sister. It’s best not to tell Zhou’er before clarifying what the situation really is, to avoid any misunderstandings.
…
On the other side, at the Lu Family’s old mansion.
The family had dispersed after dinner.
Unlike during the day, the mansion was very quiet at night, with the melodious sounds of a pipa piercing through the air, adding a touch of charm to the silent night.
The older women weren’t in any rush to rest; instead, they were dancing in the courtyard with the Lu family matriarch.
Wen Jingya was responsible for playing the pipa accompaniment.
The pipa-playing Jingya was true to her name—gentle and elegant.
Lu Xingzhou sat under a big tree enjoying the cool breeze, listlessly watching the elders dance and listening to the pipa music.
This kind of leisure time was rare for him.
As the music ended, the matriarch, wiping the sweat from her face, came over, “Zhou’er, call Manman to ask about her situation. Find out if she’s staying at her mother’s tonight, and if not, go pick her up.”
“Grandma, she’s just going back to her mom’s place,” Lu Xingzhou showed his reluctance. “There is no need to make that call.”
“Ah, you child,” the old lady was quite frustrated. “You have a wooden head!”
“Grandma, since Jiang Man isn’t here, I won’t be staying overnight. The old mansion is too far from the company and it’s inconvenient for work.”
“Go on, go on,” the Lu matriarch waved her hand, her head aching fiercely.
Her grandson was perfect in every way, except he lacked a loving heart.
Alas, how worrying.
…
Late at night.
A subdued black Maybach drove into Rong Mansion.
As the car passed villa number 12, Lu Xingzhou inside the car spotted a familiar figure.
The girl was leaning against a stone pillar at the entrance of the villa, sharing laughter with a boy about her age.
The boy looked very sunny, dressed in a baseball jacket, full of athletic vigor.
“BOSS, isn’t that…” Zhao Huai dared not utter the word “wife.”
He was astounded!
Why would his wife be all smiles and chit-chatting with another guy?

Who was this young man?
“BOSS, do you want me to look into this guy’s identity?” Zhao Huai took the initiative to ask.
Lu Xingzhou’s face hardened like a stone in a cesspit, both stinky and hard, “No need!”
He clearly minded it but was stubborn as a dying duck; his pride was insufferable.
By the time he got home, he was still replaying the scene he had witnessed in his mind.
In the few days he and Jiang Man had been married, he had never seen her smile so radiantly.
He had no idea who that guy was; maybe a friend of Jiang Man’s?
The more Lu Xingzhou thought about it, the worse he felt. He loosened the button at his neck and tugged at his collar.
He paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down, and noticed that there were no more people in front of villa number 12.
Wondering where Jiang Man had gone, he then heard the butler’s voice from downstairs, “Young Madam, you’ve returned. The young master has asked you to visit him in his study.”
Jiang Man paused, just about to head to her room, but immediately quickened her pace towards the spiral staircase.
She had just climbed upstairs when she saw Lu Xingzhou coming out of his room.
They met perfectly by chance, their eyes locking.
“Mr. Lu, why are you back?” Jiang Man was somewhat surprised.
Lu Xingzhou, with a grim face, said very sternly, “Grandma wanted to host us both overnight. You should understand the implication. Whether I stay in the ancestral house or not doesn’t matter without you there.”
“Oh, I see,” Jiang Man nodded, her clear eyes flashing with confusion, “What did you want to talk to me about, Mr. Lu?”
“When I came back, I saw you laughing and talking with a young guy. What’s your relationship with him?”
After asking this question, Lu Xingzhou suddenly felt relief flowing through him.
If he didn’t get this sorted out, he felt he might suffocate tonight.
But he was always aloof and proud, so he hurriedly patched things up, “We may only be married by agreement, but legally, we are genuinely married. During this year of marriage, I hope you don’t do anything unfaithful.”
“???” Jiang Man was utterly baffled.
Sniffing her, Lu Xingzhou’s brows immediately knotted into a frown when he caught the strong scent of alcohol, “Did you go out drinking?”
“I didn’t drink,” Jiang Man replied indifferently.
Lu Xingzhou didn’t believe her at all and became stern at once, “You wouldn’t be lying, would you? Pretending to attend to something at your parents’ home as a ruse, but in reality, you went on a date with a young man, didn’t you?”
“What?” Jiang Man nearly spit out blood in frustration.
Uncle, are you alright? Such a wild imagination!
She wasn’t one to offer explanations, nor did she think it was worth the effort.
“I didn’t lie. Believe it or not! If Mr. Lu’s intention was to come and accuse me, then I apologize, but I don’t have the time to keep you company; I’m tired!”
Jiang Man retorted sharply and turned to go downstairs.
Lu Xingzhou was left standing there, stewing in his own irritation, utterly miserable.
This girl was indeed a bad egg!
Fortunately, they were only in a contractual marriage lasting no more than a year.
Lu Xingzhou huffed to himself, thinking about the time when the year was up, they’d go their separate ways.
For this year, he just had to bear it.
Once back in his room, he shut the door forcefully behind him.
After freshening up, he wrapped himself in a bathrobe, intending to sleep.
Tossing and turning for quite a while, he ultimately couldn’t resist picking up his phone and calling Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai, deep in sweet slumber, was jolted awake by a relentless series of calls, nearly meeting with his great-grandmother.
“Hello… BOSS?” he managed to mutter, fighting back the drowsiness.
“Check out that guy. I want results within half an hour!” the domineering CEO demanded, not open to discussion.
Zhao Huai complained to himself, glancing at the time on his alarm clock; it was half-past one in the morning. Where was he supposed to investigate someone at this hour?
“What? Is there a problem?” The boss’s voice resonated with icy authority over the phone.
Zhao Huai shivered and hastily responded, “No problem, no problem, I’ll investigate right away!”
