Chapter 92: Don’t You Like Her?
Unexpectedly, she saw Lu Bei in the convenience store. He was sitting on a chair by the window in a daze. At this time, there were few customers in the convenience store. Xu Xiyao was sitting in front of the cash register, reading a book, the two of them did their own things and did not disturb each other.
Xu Xiyao was the first to see Xiang Xiaoyuan. He put down the book in his hand unhurriedly and reported as usual, “Business is good today. There’s another batch of goods delivered over there. I ordered it and there’s no problem. Also, I’ll send you today’s revenue later.”
Lu Bei came back to his senses and saw Xiang Xiaoyuan standing at the door. He was a little puzzled. Why did she come out?
Xiang Xiaoyuan nodded. “Okay.”
After that, she saw Lu Bei’s gaze fall on her. She nodded slightly as a greeting. After that, she picked up a small basket and went to the shelves to pick out what she wanted. They were all potato chips and snacks, as well as a few bottles of beer.
Lu Bei looked at the things in her basket. “? ? ?”
Buying wine? She wants to drink?
Xu Xiyao was also a little puzzled. During this period of time, he had never seen Xiang Xiaoyuan interested in alcohol. However, he did not speak much. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he would not take the initiative to ask.
After Xiang Xiaoyuan paid, she carried the plastic bag and was ready to leave. Seeing that Lu Bei was still sitting on the chair in a daze, full of worries, she reminded him, “It’s getting late. If you have nothing to do, go home and rest early.”
Lu Bei was a little worried. So his father really had a fight with his stepmother?
It seemed like she was not going home tonight. He could not help but follow behind Xiang Xiaoyuan. He watched her get into the car and start the car. The car was heading in the opposite direction from home.
What happened?
Lu Bei did not care about the convenience store anymore. He rushed home and went straight to the second floor of the villa. When he saw the light from the study, he heard his father’s calm and steady voice talking to people, Lu Bei curled the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
Why? Why did his father always look calm and composed no matter what? Even if he angered his wife until she ran away in the middle of the night, it did not affect him at all? How could he continue working calmly?
At this moment, Lu Bei didn’t know whether the emotions in his heart were directed at his father’s calmness and heartlessness, or he was feeling sorry for Xiang Xiaoyuan.
His breathing was still unsteady when Lu Wanggui’s video conference ended. When he opened the door to the study he saw Lu Bei standing motionless in the corridor. He was a little surprised, but his surprised emotions flashed past and quickly calmed down, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Bei sneered.
He took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Wanggui. Lu Bei had grown very tall over the past few years, and the father and son were almost the same height.
Lu Bei was expressionless. “Didn’t you marry her because you like her? Is that how you treat people you like?”
Shouldn’t you cherish someone you like?
Why couldn’t he feel anything from his father?
Lu Wanggui’s eyes flashed with shock. He did not expect Lu Bei to ask him such a question. Lu Bei did not expect him to answer. After asking the question, he went back to his room and slammed the door shut.
Lu Wanggui: “…”
He helplessly took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.
So what exactly happened during his meeting?
As Lu Wanggui thought about it, he walked towards the master bedroom. In the past, Xiang Xiaoyuan would have been lying on the bed playing with her phone by now. However, he did not see Xiang Xiaoyuan today. He felt that it was a little strange.
At this moment, Butler Liu came over. “Sir, Madam just went out. She said that she’s going to stay at a friend’s house tonight and will be back tomorrow.”
After a pause, he added, “Madam brought quite a lot of luggage with her when she went out.”
Therefore, she might not be back tomorrow.
If it weren’t for Lu Bei’s strange attitude, Lu Wanggui wouldn’t have taken Butler Liu’s words to heart. After all, he often didn’t return home. It was normal for her to visit a friend’s house when she was bored. Moreover, he felt that she loved making friends.
However, the situation was not normal. Lu Wanggui was just about to ask what had happened when his phone rang.
Butler Liu had no choice but to shut his mouth. It was fine. After the call, he would tell him to pick up his wife and coax her.
Lu Wanggui picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Gao Yuan. He glanced at Butler Liu and nodded slightly. “Wait a moment, I need to take a call first.”
Butler Liu nodded.
