It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Dawn is coming

Wu Xinyan returned to the office with the document and eagerly flipped to the page containing her parents' information. According to the records, her parents had once been employees of the Luo Group. Furthermore, they appeared to have a close relationship with a company veteran, Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang had been the Luo Group's financial director in his early years. He had worked for the family since Luo Yichen's father's generation and was highly respected. However, due to his advanced age, he retired to a more secondary role, rarely participating in company affairs.

Could it be that Uncle Wang knows something?

An idea flashed through Wu Xinyan's mind, and she immediately dialed the company's internal phone number. "Please connect me to Uncle Wang, Wang Yuncheng from the Finance Department."

The call was connected, and an old voice came from the other end of the receiver, "Hello, hello, who is this?"

"Uncle Wang, hello, I'm Wu Xinyan, Mr. Luo's…" Wu Xinyan paused, unsure how to address her relationship with Luo Yichen. Finally, she said vaguely, "I'm Mr. Luo's… friend. I have something I want to ask you. Is it free for you now?"

"It's Xinyan. You said it's convenient." Uncle Wang seemed to have some impression of Wu Xinyan's voice.

Wu Xinyan briefly explained the purpose of her visit and said she wanted to make an appointment to visit him in person.

"No problem, you can come over anytime." Uncle Wang agreed readily.

The next day, Wu Xinyan brought the information and went to Uncle Wang's house as agreed. Uncle Wang was old but energetic. When he saw Wu Xinyan, a kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "Xinyan, you're here. Come in and sit down."

Wu Xinyan explained her purpose and handed the information to Uncle Wang. "Uncle Wang, do you still remember my parents? Do you know how they were back then..."

Uncle Wang took the information and looked through it carefully. A trace of sadness and regret gradually emerged in his cloudy eyes. "Of course I remember. Your parents were both very good people. Back then..." He sighed deeply, as if lost in memories.

"What exactly happened back then?" Wu Xinyan asked anxiously.

Uncle Wang was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke in a low and solemn tone, "What happened to your parents back then is a secret of the Luo family, and not many people know about it..."

Wang Bo's words were like a flash of lightning, splitting the fog in Wu Xinyan's heart and revealing a secret that had been buried for many years...

"Back then, your father discovered..." Uncle Wang suddenly paused, a trace of panic flashing in his cloudy eyes. He looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice, "Son, there are some things you can't know. Don't investigate further. It won't do you any good..."

"Uncle Wang, what do you know? What exactly happened to my parents back then? Please tell me!" Wu Xinyan grabbed Uncle Wang's hand and asked anxiously. Uncle Wang's hesitation only increased her uneasiness and doubts.

Uncle Wang looked at Wu Xinyan's anxious expression, patted her hand gently, and said earnestly: "Child, some things should be left in the past. You just need to know that your parents are good people. Back then, they..."

"No, I must know the truth!" Wu Xinyan interrupted Uncle Wang, her tone firm and persistent, "Uncle Wang, please, tell me! This is really important to me!"

Uncle Wang looked at Wu Xinyan's pleading eyes and finally softened his heart. He sighed and said slowly: "Okay, child, since you want to know, then I will tell you..."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at Luo's Group headquarters was completely different: a joyous atmosphere. Luo Yichen stood in front of the French window, gazing at the bustling city outside, a confident smile playing on his lips.

"Boss Luo, great news! We've won the cooperation project with Xingyao Group!" Secretary Zhao excitedly pushed the door open and handed a document to Luo Yichen. "This is the latest market feedback data. Our product has been enthusiastically sought after since its launch, and orders are already scheduled for three months later!"

Luo Yichen took the document and carefully scanned the data, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. He knew that this victory was hard-won, the result of the joint efforts of everyone on their team, and a powerful response to those who questioned and suppressed them.

"Very good." Luo Yichen nodded with satisfaction, his tone carrying a hint of unconcealable joy. "Notify everyone in the company that there will be an extra meal tonight. It's my treat!"

"Yes!" Secretary Zhao responded excitedly and turned around to make arrangements.

"Wait." Luo Yichen stopped Secretary Zhao, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What's going on at the Chen Group?"

"Mr. Chen hasn't been seen since he lost his last bid. I guess..." Secretary Zhao paused, a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "He's probably hiding to recuperate."

Luo Yichen sneered. He knew that his opponent Chen would not give up, but he also believed that after experiencing this failure, his opponent Chen should realize the gap between him and him.

"Mr. Luo, there's one more thing." Secretary Zhao suddenly remembered something and said, "Investor Sun wants to meet with you to discuss additional investment."

Luo Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Investor Sun had always been confident in the development potential of the Luo Group. This additional investment was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and support for them.

"Okay, I understand." Luo Yichen said in a deep voice, "Please arrange a time for me to meet with him."

"Yes." Secretary Zhao responded and turned to leave the office.

Luo Yichen watched Secretary Zhao leave with a meaningful smile on his face. He knew that the future of the Luo Group would be even brighter!

At this time, Uncle Wang finally made up his mind and told Wu Xinyan the secret that had been hidden for many years:

"Child, actually..."

"Child, actually..." Uncle Wang took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision, and said slowly, "Back then, your parents were..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid ring of his cell phone. Wu Xinyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an inexplicable premonition came to her mind.

"Uncle Wang, let me take a call first." Wu Xinyan glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Luo Yichen's assistant, Secretary Zhao. She suppressed her uneasiness and answered the phone.

"Young Madam, good news! Investor Sun has decided to make additional investments! President Luo is hosting a banquet at the Regent Hotel tonight to celebrate, please come along!" Secretary Zhao's voice was filled with excitement.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Xinyan hung up the phone, Uncle Wang's words still ringing in her ears, but she had to put the mystery of her life aside for now. The crisis of the Luo Group had just been resolved, and she couldn't let Luo Yichen be distracted at this time.

"Uncle Wang, I..." Wu Xinyan hesitated to speak, but Uncle Wang smiled kindly and said, "Go, child. Some things will eventually come to pass."

The Regent Hotel was ablaze with lights at night. Luo Yichen, dressed in a black suit, stood tall and proud at the entrance of the banquet hall, greeting every arriving guest. He wore a confident smile, but his eyes were always searching for Wu Xinyan.

When Wu Xinyan appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall in a light blue dress, Luo Yichen's eyes were instantly drawn to her. She was exceptionally beautiful tonight, yet with a hint of sadness that was difficult to conceal, which made his heart tighten slightly.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yichen walked to Wu Xinyan and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, just..." Wu Xinyan wanted to tell Luo Yichen what Uncle Wang wanted to tell her about her life experience, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips. She didn't want to ruin the joyful atmosphere of tonight.

"Just what?" Luo Yichen asked. He felt that Wu Xinyan seemed to have something on her mind.

Wu Xinyan forced a smile and said, "Nothing, let's go in."

The banquet went smoothly. Investor Sun was full of confidence in the future of Roche Group. The amount of additional investment far exceeded expectations, and the financial position of Roche Group was further consolidated.

Luo Yichen raised his glass and expressed his gratitude to everyone present. His eyes swept across the cheering crowd and finally fell on Wu Xinyan. When their eyes met, everything was said without words.

However, at this moment of celebration, a sudden phone call broke the lively atmosphere of the banquet hall. Wu Xinyan's phone rang again, and this time, the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

An ominous premonition came to her mind, and Wu Xinyan's heart beat faster. She glanced at Luo Yichen, walked aside and answered the phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Wu Xinyan, do you want to know the real cause of your parents' death?" A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, making Wu Xinyan feel as if she had fallen into an icy cave. "I can tell you, but you will have to pay a price..."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, leaving Wu Xinyan standing there in horror, the phone slipping from her hand...
