Chapter 128: Lu Chen once again gave up on Xie Wantang

Just, Xie Wantang didn't care about their remarks, she never responded online again; afterwards she was just in charge of eating and drinking, being pampered with good food and drink by family and friends.

Those who suffered were also that batch of netizens tormented by their own wildly imaginative brainwaves.

Xie Wantang inexplicably ended up on the hot search because of the Lu family's affairs, then was secretly photographed in Haishi and the video was privately posted online; Qin Muyang, with his studio partners, bluntly gave those law‑less netizens a lesson on the reach of the law.

The netizens were also formidable; if they couldn't keep their eyes on Xie Wantang, they simply switched targets, and thus fixed their gaze on her biological parents.

They literally drove the whole family abroad.

Xie Bailu and her parents wanted to scold Xie Wantang, saying she was a jinx who dragged others down like Xia Meng, but they could only vent online, unable to reach Xie Wantang at all.

They had been to Haishi, but the security at the Qin family's villa area was so tight they couldn't get in at all.

Xie Wantang and the Qin family's dealings were ruthless; she simply put them on a blacklist.

The Lu family's aftermath remained the talk of the major clans in Sijiucheng for a long time, but in Haishi it never caused much of a stir.

Xie Wantang's hot‑search appearance also gave LC Technology a boost of fame, and LC's boss Lu Chen showed up on camera for the first time, entering the public's view.

When they saw Lu Chen's face, the netizens finally understood why Xie Wantang dared to make that self‑assessment.

It seemed like self‑denigration, but in fact it was paving the way for Lu Chen.

But even so, rumors that the parties involved never admitted were merely the netizens' imagination.

Besides, the Lu family had been completely wiped out.

Not a single one left, no one knew whether the father of Xie Wantang's unborn child was her ex‑husband Lu Yanshen or LC Technology's boss Lu Chen.

Everyone's thoughts differed, so their accounts naturally varied.

But those people's thoughts and opinions were irrelevant to Xie Wantang and Lu Chen.

No matter how big the uproar was at first, as time passed day by day it faded away without a trace.

Three months flew by; during that period many things happened—others', theirs—and Lu Chen passed Xie Wantang's test.

They were preparing to remarry.

Professor Wu knew they were going to get their marriage license, and he was the happiest person.

They had booked a table in advance at the Haishi Grand Hotel, waiting for the couple to get their marriage license so the two families could sit down together and celebrate with a meal.

Although getting their marriage license would have made them the two hottest, most‑trafficked people online recently, they didn't plan to announce it; Xie Wantang and Lu Chen merely posted the news on their own social circles.

Even so, the news spread quickly.

On the very day they were to get their license, the previously quiet Sijiucheng burst with news that someone had acquired the Lu Clan Group.

On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Chen received a mysterious call, made a U‑turn ahead, and Xie Wantang exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Chen, what are you doing?"

"I'm taking you home." Lu Chen said.

"No, you're not getting the license?"

"You can't get it today." Lu Chen's expression was very solemn.

"Are you joking with me?" Xie Wantang's smile froze on her lips.

Before, Lu Chen indeed had his own matters; he had concealed so many things from her, yet she chose to forgive and give them each another chance.

But there was only one chance; if they couldn't get the license today, they would never have another opportunity in this lifetime.

She would not give him another chance.

He needed to understand that.

"I'm not joking, Wantang. Be good, go home first; I'll explain later."

"No, what thing can't you tell me now?" Xie Wantang frowned, puzzled, wondering what else they were hiding from each other.

"……"

Lu Chen remained silent; some things truly couldn't be told to her right now.

She was a pregnant woman.

Xie Wantang took a deep breath; now Lu Chen was driving, and she didn't want to argue with him.

Soon Lu Chen drove Xie Wantang back to the Qin family's residence.

"Get out of the car." Seeing Xie Wantang unmoving, Lu Chen urged her on.

"Lu Chen, if you don't get the license with me today, then we'll never have a chance in this lifetime—are you really making me get out now?"

"Yes, get out." Lu Chen was very firm.

"……"

Xie Wantang chuckled lightly, "Lu Chen, 'three strikes and you're out'—I've given you two lovesick chances, and you treat me like this; no matter what reason you give me in the future, I won't listen to your explanations."

"Understood, hurry up and get out." Lu Chen's hands gripped the steering wheel, as if he were enduring great pain.

Xie Wantang looked back at him, thinking he was annoyed by her chattiness.

Moreover, Lu Chen's gaze was also urging her on, so Xie Wantang delayed no longer, turned and got out of the car.

Just as she closed the car door, Lu Chen, to keep her from hearing the countdown sound coming from under the car, slammed the accelerator and drove off with a roar.

Xie Wantang: "……"

How eager he was to get away from her!

If he disliked her so much, why did he put on a deep‑affectionate act for the past few months?

Was that interesting?

Xie Wantang turned and went home.

Lu Chen chose a remote spot and made several calls along the way.

The person who made this bomb must especially love adventure and stimulation; the countdown appeared directly on the car's interior display.

There was only half an hour left.

That was enough for Lu Chen.

What Xie Wantang didn't know was that, less than half an hour after she got home, Lu Chen, together with his car, plunged straight into the nearby sea, and at once Pei Xiao and Su Nianchu arrived, enabling them to suppress the news.

But when Lu Chen's car exploded in the sea, it still attracted the attention of many tourists; someone called the police, someone dialed 120, and someone notified the TV station.

The incident still exceeded Lu Chen's expectations and arrangements; an hour later, the news was seen by Xie Wantang and the Qin family.

At that time, the three Qin brothers were scolding Lu Chen, saying it was utterly outrageous that he would change his mind midway; even Qin Muyang, the most composed senior lawyer, looked down on Lu Chen's fickle behavior.

They just couldn't understand how this brat could dare to abandon their Tang Bao again.

What great matter could compare to him being reunited with Tang Bao.

Xie Wantang remained calm in front of Lu Chen, but after returning to her family's side, the composure she had deliberately maintained in front of him cracked.

With red eyes, she complained to her three brothers, saying Lu Chen had abandoned her again.

At that time, Qin Muyang kept calling Lu Chen, wanting to ask what he intended to do.

However, Lu Chen's phone simply wouldn't go through; it kept trying to connect.

After that, it remained unable to connect.

An hour later, a video appeared showing what seemed to be Lu Chen's car rushing into the nearby sea and exploding on the spot; the Qin brothers saw it first.

Then Qin Muyang went out, while the second and third Qin brothers stayed at home to keep Xie Wantang company.

When Xie Wantang saw this news, she was sitting on the toilet thinking things over, and after pondering, she still decided to call Lu Chen—

The headline that Lu Chen, CEO of LC Technology Group, had driven his car into the deep sea and exploded instantly appeared on Xie Wantang's phone screen.
