Just as Qiao Luo had said, Yu Huili disappeared after she said she was going to call the police.

Sister Zhang quickly reported the result to Qiao Luo.

Hearing that Yu Huili had left, Qiao Luo finally felt relieved.

However, she was still a little uneasy. After all, she knew Yu Huili well; once she came knocking, she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted. Although she didn't know why Yu Huili had come knocking again, she could roughly guess that it was either a house or money. She just didn't know which one Yu Huili wanted.

But she didn't have the mind to think about those things right now, as the work in front of her was already giving her enough headaches.

However, she still called Lu Tingnian. Since he had already gone out, she shouldn't go home for the time being. She didn't want Lu Tingnian to witness such a distressing situation.

After all, she had already caused him so much suffering, how could she let him endure this again?

In the company.

Lu Tingnian had just sat down at his desk when Han Jian knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lu, will you be attending the company's senior management meeting later?"

A week later, Lu Tingnian came to the company again, but this time in a wheelchair. Han Jian was a little unsure whether he was willing to appear in public in this manner.

After all, Lu Tingnian usually cares a lot about his personal image.

Lu Tingnian does care a lot about his image, but that's just a personal habit and it doesn't affect his work.

For now, he prefers to keep a low profile, since only a few high-ranking officials have met him.

Therefore, he will no longer attend such meetings in the future.

"No need. Send the notice that no one is allowed to enter or leave the president's office unless absolutely necessary."

"Yes."

Han Jiangang was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around to speak to Lu Tingnian when his phone rang, so he had to give up.

Lu Tingnian glanced at his phone; it was Qiao Luo calling. He answered.

"You...were outside with Mr. Han?"

As soon as she answered the phone, Qiao Luo spoke up. She wasn't used to calling Lu Tingnian by his name, nor was she comfortable calling him "husband," so when she talked to him, she habitually got straight to the point.

Lu Tingnian didn't seem to mind these things. He wasn't surprised that Qiao Luo knew about his trip with Han Jian, since he had tacitly allowed Sister Zhang to tell him.

He guessed that today was Qiao Luo's first day at work, and he would ask Sister Zhang about him.

It seems she has already asked.

"Yes, I'm outside right now."

Qiao Luo quickly said, "Then could you come home a little later?"

After saying that, fearing it might arouse his suspicion, she quickly added, "What I mean is, since Mr. Han has time to take you out, why don't you stay outside a little longer? I'm busy today and won't be able to go home for lunch."

Despite her earnest explanation, Lu Tingnian still sensed something was amiss and asked, "Has something happened?"

“…No.” Qiao Luo quickly replied.

"Okay, I'll see how it goes."

Although Lu Tingnian gave this answer, he immediately called Han Jian in.

"Has something happened at home?"

Han Jian knew that the "home" Lu Tingnian mentioned was Qiao Luo's home.

He quickly said, "This morning, when we left Miss Qiao's house, I think I saw Miss Qiao's stepmother, but I wasn't sure at the time. I just asked Aunt Zhang to confirm, and after we left, a fierce-looking woman did come to the door, but she didn't say that she was looking for Miss Qiao. She only said that it was her house."

"Her home?" Lu Tingnian asked, puzzled.
