As Lu Wang Chen was thinking about this, he received a call from Qin Chu.
He heard Qin Chu on the other end of the line saying—
“I just got a call from Mo Mo saying that Mo Mo was drunk at the Night Scene Bar and asking me to come over and pick her up. But Yan’er is not feeling well, and I have to accompany her to the doctor’s appointment, so I am not available.”
“I’ve told you before about some of the things Mo Mo has been up to lately. Lately, Mo Mo has been finding all sorts of reasons to pester me and sabotage my relationship with Yan’er. And…”
“This isn’t the first time she’s had an excuse to look for me. So I think Mo Mo might not really be drunk.”
“But Mo Mo’s temperament right now is such that I’m afraid she’ll continue to stir up a mess. I don’t feel comfortable leaving her in a bar, and I don’t want to keep indulging her like this.”
Qin Chu also spoke to Lu Wang Chen about the first two occasions.
Once, she pretended to be sick. The other time, she pretended to be in a car accident. He had troubled Jing Qian to take care of it. But today, he learned that Jing Qian was on duty and Ji Hen Yu would not be willing to go to a place like a bar.
Hence, he wanted to ask Lu Wang Chen to have a look at Xiang Yi Mo.
Lu Wang Chen didn’t say a word. His gaze was fixed straight on Xiang Yi Mo, who was sitting obediently at the bar counter. Then, his brows were knitted together.
“Qin Chu, have you ever thought about… Forget it.” He pursed his lips and continued, “I will go and find Xiang Yi Mo.”
Lu Wang Chen hung up the phone.
He originally thought of saying something on behalf of Xiang Yi Mo. However, he felt there was no need for that when the words somehow were about to leave his lips. Moreover, Qin Chu might not believe it.
Honestly, he didn’t think Xiang Yi Mo would feign illness and fake a car accident. He could ask Jing Qian about these two incidents to find out about it maybe sometime later.
“Executive Assistant Chen, I’ll leave this girl in your hands. You can send her back to the Lu family residence. I suddenly have something important to handle.”
After handing the person over to the executive assistant beside him, Lu Wang Chen passed by one person after another and walked towards Xiang Yi Mo.
The female bartender was stunned when she saw Lu Wang Chen.
Isn’t this big boss here to pick up his younger sister?
Why is he walking over? He couldn’t possibly want to have a drink, could he?
The female bartender had been working in the nightclub for several years. The shop was often frequented by the sons of affluent families or people of status, and the Night Scene was owned by a person from a wealthy family. Furthermore, she paid more attention to some public figures and affairs.
She naturally knew a big shot like Lu Wang Chen. What’s more, Big Boss Lu’s younger sister often visited Night Scene.
“Mr Lu, do you need something?”
Lu Wang Chen glanced at her and pointed to Xiang Yi Mo. “I was asked to pick her up on the way. This is also my younger sister.”
The female bartender thought, ‘I think I just saw Big Boss Lu answer a phone call just now? Also, Big Boss and the person in Shangcheng have a great relationship….’ Then, she nodded her head.
When Xiang Yi Mo heard Lu Wang Chen’s voice, she turned to look at the man with misty eyes.
Lu Wang Chen, the eldest son of the powerful Lu family, was a year older than the other three.
When he was young, he went off the rebellious track and became a soldier. But no one expected him to be specially recruited as a special forces soldier.
At the age of 26, he was a highly decorated soldier, practically like a King of the Special Forces. However, this year, he went on a mission to save the lives of his teammates, causing him to be at his last gasp while lying in the intensive care unit.
After barely escaping death, he understood that his parents were worried about him. Thus, he retired from the army and chose to inherit the family business.
Lu Wang Chen had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes and a distinctive profile.
He was a cold and handsome type of beautiful man.
He stood there without saying a word, like a perfect work of art crafted by the hand of God.
Because he was a special forces soldier, his entire aura was much colder and more intimidating. His face gave off an imposing aura even though he wasn’t angry. His eyes were deep and sharp. It was as if his eyes could penetrate one’s heart.
However, outsiders did not know that Lu Wang Chen was a special forces soldier. They only know that Lu Wang Chen went to the army to be a soldier.
“Xiang Yi Mo, I’m here to fetch you.” Lu Wang Chen’s voice was not as cold as Jing Qian’s, but it was low and mellow.
The person who was named blinked. She looked at him and shook her head. “No, no, it’s Mo Mo!”
“What?” Lu Wang Chen didn’t understand what she meant.
