else. You contact Qin Secretary.”He didn't notice her voice trembling on the verge of tears, but he lowered his head and looked at the people around him......so gentle, so gentle.Joe's vision blurred...It seems Bai Xiaoxiao was too high-profile and finally alarmed Madam Lu.

Mrs. Lu found Qiao Xun.

At that time, Qiao Xun was performing at a convenience store, wearing a cheap costume rented from the performance company. Her hands playing the violin were covered with several bandaids.

If one didn't say so, who could have thought this was the young mistress of the Lu Group

Lu's wife stood under the stage, her expression somewhat stern.

Qiao Xun saw her, his finger pausing for a moment, but then he focused on playing the piano.

During halftime, Mrs. Lu walked over with a cold and distant tone: "There's a coffee shop outside. I'll be waiting for you there." After she said that, she left.

Jo Xiang continued to polish the violin.

The colleague next to her was unconvinced and leaned in to whisper, "Joe Xuan, did you get into trouble That woman just now looked really intimidating!"

Qiao Xun shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's okay! It's an acquaintance... a senior."

That person was half-believing and half-doubting.

Joe changed his clothes and went to the coffee shop by the entrance.

Lu's wife sat by the window. Because she was too elegant, she stood out.

Joe went to sit down.

Mrs. Lu got her a glass of lemonade and said softly, "Drinking coffee is bad for your skin."

She looked again at Qiao Xun's attire and couldn't help but reprimand him, "If you want to experience life, I can arrange the best band for you! What place is this Is this where a Mrs. Lu should be And... what are you wearing Before Lu Ze comes back, everything must be put back in place! It's all so messed up."

She said a lot.

Qiao Xun listened quietly, and finally she smiled faintly —

I think this is good.

"Besides, I'm getting a divorce from Lu Ze. Don't you know where he went"

......

Mrs. Lu was speechless.

This was Qiao Xun's first time speaking to her like this, and Qiao Xun didn't even call her "Mom."

In the past, no matter how cold Lu Ze was to her, Qiao Xun always treated her with respect.

For a while, Mrs. Lu felt somewhat out of place.

Qiao Xun simply got straight to the point: “I know you don't like me, so I was surprised when you came to see me today. I always thought you would rather have me divorce Lu Ze.”

Mrs. Lu quietly sized her up.

It's been a long time, Qiao Xun is different now.

No longer timid and meek, they have become sharp-tongued.

But Mrs. Lu had been in high society for decades after all, so naturally she had some means. Hearing this, she smiled.

He smiled serenely.

For a moment, Madam Lu retracted her smile: "Yes, I truly don't like you! You're too pretty... Too pretty a woman is not good! But compared to that, I dislike Bai Xiaoxiao even more. Someone with such a messy background dares to think of entering the Lu family."

She suddenly smiled again: “But she’s out of luck! With a broken leg and divorced, ordinary men wouldn't want her, let alone Lu Ze!”

Joe Xun felt a chill run down his spine.

But Lady Lu was calm and composed.

She gently touched Qiao Xun's face and sighed softly, "You are so beautiful! It's no wonder Lu Ze, despite hating him so much, can't let go."

After finishing her words, Madam Lu stood up.

She looked around and said softly, "I'll talk to Lu Ze! Let him take you back."

Then she said disdainfully, "This place isn't suitable for you!"

Mrs. Lu walked out of the cafe, and a black car was already waiting outside.

The driver respectfully opened the car door.

After Lu's wife got into the car, she leaned back against the luxurious headrest and let out a long sigh of relief.

She knows what Qiao Xun is thinking.

It's nothing more than being unfree, like a domesticated pet, with a husband who doesn't respect you... But who isn't that way And who wasn't stunningly beautiful in their youth, yet still couldn't hold their husband's heart

Joe is still too young and too impulsive!

Thinking of this, Madam Lu felt a surge of disgust again. She leaned against the window and looked out... only to see someone familiar.

Mature and handsome, with an outstanding temperament, he stands out in a crowd.

But in Lu's wife eyes, it was like a thorn in her eye and a splinter in her flesh.

She muttered, "This little bastard!"

The driver at the wheel was nearly sure he'd misheard. How could his wife possibly utter such vulgar language He must have misunderstood.

......

Mrs. Lu left.

In the coffee shop, Qiao Xun sat alone for a few minutes. She had no time to grieve, because she was busy, preoccupied with making a living and running around.

It started to rain on my way back home late at night.

Fearing the violin would get wet, Qiao Xun took off his coat and wrapped it around it before hurrying towards the bus stop.

She rarely takes taxis.

But on rainy days, getting a car is very difficult. Standing in the drizzle for half an hour in the late night... Qiao Xun shivered from the cold and finally decided to run back.

But only after two steps, she saw Lu Ze.

On the road ahead, shimmering with water and mist, stood a black, gleaming luxury car.

The car window was half lowered, revealing Lu Ze's proud face.

He was wearing a classic black and white suit, looking as if he had just stepped out of some formal event. There was a faint air of relaxation about him....which only made Qiao Xun look more disheveled.

Across the rainy night, eyes met, gazing silently at each other.

Qiao Xun's lips trembled from the cold.

Her hands clutched the violin tightly, as if grasping the last straw in her life......She knew deep down that this was a step Lu Ze had given her.

Now, she just needs to take it easy and get in the car.

She will have a clean blanket and hot water immediately. She won't need to go to the marketplace to perform tomorrow morning; she will wake up on a luxurious, soft bed and be Mrs. Lu again.

But, that's not what she wanted!

Joe smoked in the rain, standing silently opposite him.

The rain was intensifying, wetting eyelashes and blurring the gaze between them.

For about a minute, she ran forward with one hand shielding her head from the rain...

Raindrops splashed, landing on the expensive car body.

She and he, passed each other on a rainy night.

On the street at night, Qiao Xuan's running in the rain, every sound echoing in Lu Ze's heart...... faint and gloomy.

He didn't get out of the car, he let Joe smoke walk past him.

His face was pale, without a trace of blood.

He saw her pretty fingers with medical tape on them, he saw her plain clothes, and he saw that she didn't have a single piece of decent jewelry on her whole body.

But even so, Qiao Xun did not bow his head to him.

Rain, continue falling...

The windshield wiper kept swinging back and forth in front of the windshield.

Inside the car, both the driver and Qin, the secretary sitting beside him, remained silent. It was clear to them that Lu Ze was in a very bad mood.

After a long time.

Finally, Lu Ze spoke in a low voice: “Qin Secretary, can you explain why Qiao Xun didn't choose to work at that institution but opted for this inconspicuous performance company Does she enjoy hardship”

Qin's secretary was greatly shocked.

She hesitated for a moment before softly saying, “I thought... this way could allow Madam to go home earlier! Mr. Lu, I can go explain to Madam that this wasn't your intention.”

In the dim light, a scarlet spark ignited between Lu Ze's fingers.

He smokes with an air of sophistication.

In the thin veil of gray smoke, Lu Ze's voice dripped with sarcasm: "In her mind, what difference does it make whether you do it or I do it"

Qin's secretary felt a wave of relief.

But immediately, Lu Ze leaned sideways to extinguish the cigarette butt, his voice turning cold and indifferent: "Get out of the car!"

Qin's secretary was stunned: "President Lu, it's raining outside."

Lu Ze leaned against the leather seat, tilting his head slightly upward. In the dim light, his fair neck was visible, with a strong Adam's apple.

He sneered.

"Since Qiao Xun can run outside, why can't you"

"Qin, what makes you think you are more delicate than Qiao Xun"

......

Qin Shishu was very embarrassed.

She knew in her heart that this was Lu Ze's punishment for her, because she had acted impulsively and suppressed Qiao Xun. Lu Ze's meaning was very clear: get out of the car and run, or get out of Lu's company.

She underestimated Qiao Xun's position in Lu Ze's heart and overestimated herself!

Qin's secretary trembled and got out of the car.

It was raining heavily, and it soaked her business suit.

She was soaked from head to toe. With a gritted teeth, she took off her high heels.

Run in the rain!

The driver at the front was dumbfounded. Qin Secretary, who usually looked down on everyone else, never acted this way. After all, she relied on being Lu Zong's junior to act superior.

Unbelievable, she actually reached this day!

Lu Ze leaned back in the seat, also quietly watching, but his mind was on Qiao Xun.

He was thinking, why did they have to make Qiao Xun go back!

Joe Xun's personality was too docile, not his type. In fact, he Lu Ze had never liked anyone until now, even before marriage when he intended to marry Bai Xiaoxiao, it was only because when he woke up, the memory of the violin music was astonishing.

But later, when Bai Xiaoxiao dragged him along, he stopped listening to her.

My head hurts!

As for Joe's [habit], I guess it's just habit!

The other day he had a pair of cufflinks, and he couldn't find them. If Qiao Xun were here, she would have told him exactly where they were at the first opportunity. Also yesterday morning, when he went to the dressing room to change clothes, he got an electric shock from the metal handle on the wardrobe.

This is the first time after marriage.

When Qiao Xun was around, she paid close attention to the humidity in the house. Every autumn and winter, she would wrap all easily electrifying items in insulating covers... Life with Qiao Xun was actually very comfortable.

But while he enjoyed himself, he didn't care about her.

On a rainy night, Lu Ze leaned against his car, thinking about Qiao Xun's various things.

Finally, he realized the reason why he wanted Qiao Xun to go back was because she was suited to be Mrs. Lu, not because he had fallen for her...iver from the cold.She's been married to Lu Ze for three years, so she knows his personality well. To be honest, these concessions from him are considered favors... Logically, she should be overwhelme...
