Chapter 277 - 278: Violating Rules (11)
Lou Xi definitely had no idea how long Qin Mobai meant by "a long time," thinking that he just really wanted to marry her.
Upon returning to Nancheng, Qin Mobai had the driver take Lou Xi home while he went to the company.
Initially, Lou Xi planned to go with Qin Mobai, but she realized she wouldn’t be much help and might distract him, so she listened to Qin Mobai and went home.
Midway through the drive, Bai Lu called.
So she asked the driver to head to the city center, preparing to have dinner with Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was already waiting in the restaurant, it was Lou Xi’s favorite hotpot.
"I’ve ordered the dishes, all your favorites," Bai Lu knew Lou Xi’s tastes, "See how well I treat you!"
Lou Xi drank a sip of water, glanced at Bai Lu, "Tell me honestly, is it because no one asked you out, so you called me?"
"Well, you came out as soon as I called, which means your Young Master Qin is still busy during the National Day holiday."
Seems... she hit the mark.
Lou Xi was dumbfounded, and Bai Lu was also dumbfounded.
"It seems there’s some problem at the company, that’s why we returned from the island, seems like it’s quite urgent." The more Lou Xi thought, the more she felt Qin Mobai might have encountered something tricky.
"You don’t know? The people on the Xi Family side acquired some stocks from retail investors of Jia Sheng Group, not sure if the two families are about to clash."
Lou Xi knew the relationship between the Xi Family and Jia Sheng Group was quite good before, then suddenly one day, the Xi Family said they would no longer cooperate with Jia Sheng Group, she didn’t know what had happened.
If the Xi Family wants to acquire shares from Jia Sheng Group’s retail investors, it’s definitely not beneficial for Jia Sheng Group.
No wonder Young Master Qin was so eager to return.
"Huh? How do you know so much?" Lou Xi looked at the hotpot base as it arrived, and asked Bai Lu another question.
After all, she wasn’t aware of these things, how did Bai Lu know?
Bai Lu, as if caught off guard, had an evasive look in her eye.
"Just... online, you have no idea how advanced the internet is now, how quickly people get information!"
Seems like it, nowadays, news online spreads so fast, you can’t hide secrets.
"Wonder when Young Master Qin can deal with those things, really don’t want to see him so tired."
Hearing Lou Xi say this, Bai Lu smiled, "You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already worried about your husband. I bet after you marry, you’ll be like a little wife! Good thing Young Master Qin cherishes you, otherwise you’d be totally under his control!"
Bai Lu seemed to have a point, so Lou Xi didn’t refute her.
"I’ll go grab some dipping sauce, what do you want, I’ll get it for you." Since it’s self-service dipping sauce, you have to go and get it yourself.
"Super spicy homemade sauce!"
Bai Lu made an OK gesture and walked over to the dipping sauce area.
Lou Xi watched her figure, seemed a bit distracted.
Suddenly, Bai Lu’s phone on the table rang.
It was a call.
Since previously Bai Lu and Lou Xi had a habit of answering each other’s calls when busy, Lou Xi picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.
"Lili Yuan Shangcao"?
Are the notes this poetic nowadays?
Lou Xi answered the call for Bai Lu.
"Got to work late tonight, will find you tomorrow." It was Lu Li’s voice.
Lou Xi was about to explode!
