Chapter 23: He is Lu Yanshen, there's no mistake

Pei Xiao parked the car at the Gilded Gold Club, after getting out, Lu Yanshen led Pei Xiao to the largest private room on the top floor.

Pei Xiao kicked open the door of the private room and saw Xia Meng standing in her spot, surrounded by several lecherous men urging her to drink.

Moreover, two even bolder ones had their hands on Xia Meng's waist, behaving improperly.

Seeing this, Lu Yanshen's slightly furrowed brows tightened suddenly.

It had nothing to do with Xia Meng herself; such vulgar and disgraceful behavior is disliked.

"Yanshen, you... how did you come?" Xia Meng saw Lu Yanshen standing at the private room door, her mouth wet with liquor that someone had just forced her to drink.

"Xiao Lu Zong." Seeing Lu Yanshen, everyone stood up and greeted him.

Lu Wentao is the chairman of the Lu Clan Group, Da Lu Zong is Lu Yanze, and Xiao Lu Zong is Lu Yanshen.

A few years ago, after Xiao Lu Zong had a traffic accident, many people thought he would be like this for the rest of his life.

No one expected that Xiao Lu Zong would miraculously stand up and even get rid of the wheelchair.

It has been less than two years since he stood up from the wheelchair; in the business world he has been unstoppable, victorious in every battle, and in a short time he has re-established his rightful position.

Previously, Xiao Lu Zong was always carefree, but emotionally he was deep and devoted to Xia Meng; however, Xia Meng was too pragmatic.

Once Xiao Lu Zong had an accident, this woman ran away.

Now Xiao Lu Zong is fine—not only his person but also his career—and this woman has returned from abroad.

At first everyone thought Xiao Lu Zong would no longer bother with a woman like Xia Meng, but they didn't expect that tonight he would actually come for her.

The few investors who had just made a move on Xia Meng felt a bit guilty, standing in the corner, embarrassed to face Lu Yanshen directly.

They lacked confidence.

"Hmph, today the bosses are in high spirits, inviting Xia Meng to drink without calling me? Xia Meng has always been under my protection—do the bosses not understand that?"

"Xiao Lu Zong, we're really sorry, just now we……"

Everyone wanted to explain, but before they could finish, Xia Meng spoke up for them: "Yanshen, it's not like that; I invited them over, I……"

"Are you trying to tell me you're willingly and voluntarily degraded? Those three things, with their hands on your waist just now—did you allow them to put their salty pig's hands on you?"

Before Xia Meng could finish defending these client fathers, Lu Yanshen retorted directly, his face full of frustration at their inability to improve.

Being rebuked by Lu Yanshen, Xia Meng's eyes reddened; just as she was about to leave this awkward place, her high heel was too high, she twisted her foot, and the pain made her grimace.

Pei Xiao immediately approached Lu Yanshen; the next second, Lu Yanshen strode over and, in front of everyone, hoisted the person horizontally.

Xia Meng let out a cry, wrapped her arms around Lu Yanshen's neck; Lu Yanshen softened his voice, trying gently to comfort her: "Didn't we agree that you can tell me any difficulty, and I can help you?"

"I……"

"Alright, don't say more, let's go to the hospital."

"Mm." Xia Meng nodded shyly.

Pei Xiao glanced at the several bosses present, "Gentlemen, goodbye."

Pei Xiao smiled evilly, captivating hearts.

This left several bosses panicked and at a loss.

Leaving the Gilded Gold Club, Lu Yanze had just finished his social engagements, sent off several bosses, turned around, and saw Lu Yanshen carrying Xia Meng down the steps.

"Second Brother." Lu Yanze hurried forward, "What happened to Xia Meng?"

"She twisted her foot; I'm taking her to the hospital." Lu Yanshen replied, "Big Brother, do you have any engagements here tonight?"

"Yes, they're several bosses who want to cooperate with us on the ecological project; I don't know where they heard it, but they think you and your sister-in-law are getting divorced, that you'll no longer help the Xie Family, that the Xie Family will be out, and they're eager to take its place."

"Few people know about my marriage to Xie Wantang; how did they find out?" Lu Yanshen wondered.

"Grandma doesn't want you to divorce your sister-in-law, what do you say?" Lu Yanze countered.

Lu Yanshen understood; Lu Yanze meant that the fact he had a wife was leaked by Grandma.

As for who leaked the divorce news, the possibilities are too many.

The reasoning is quite reasonable—blaming the leak on Grandma, who also has that stance makes the whole thing naturally sound and seamless, with no flaw to be found.

Xia Meng shifted uneasily in Lu Yanshen's embrace.

Lu Yanshen immediately responded, "I'll first take Mengmeng to the hospital."

"Let's go together; coincidentally, I also need to go to the hospital to see Rourou." Lu Yanze said in a lowered voice.

"Okay."

Lu Yanshen had no further objection.

Lu Yanze rode in his own car, while Lu Yanshen, holding Xia Meng, exited the Gilded Gold Club and got into the vehicle; all along the way, shutters flashed from dark corners.

Pei Xiao performed his duties diligently, focusing on preventing trouble while driving.

In the three-person carriage, it was so quiet that a falling pin could be heard.

In the rear car, Lu Yanze narrowed his eyes, his deep gaze fixed ahead on Lu Yanshen's vehicle.

He played with the thumb ring of jade green on his thumb; the streetlights flashing past outside intermittently lit the interior, causing Lu Yanze's eyes to flicker in and out, inscrutable.

Suddenly, the man in the passenger seat turned his head and respectfully said to Lu Yanze, "President Lu, the photos have been sent over."

"Hmm, pick a few and send them to my infatuated sister-in-law." Lu Yanze leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Yes."

After sending the photos, the man turned back again, "President Lu, those following the Second Young Mistress reported that tonight the Second Young Master went to dine at Yu Jing Zun Di together with the Second Young Mistress."

"Hmm?"

"Just the two of them?"

"No, there's also Qin Muyang."

"Him?"

Lu Yanze reopened his eyes, the depths inscrutable; he again turned the jade-green thumb ring on his left thumb, and after a long while said, "Was it the Second Young Mistress who invited him, or the Second Young Master?"

"The Second Young Mistress previously stayed in Haishi for two days."

Hah, Qin Muyang is hard to invite; not to mention two days, even two months may not necessarily get him. Second Young Mistress, aren't you from the countryside?

The Xie Family people said that.

Tell the steward to keep an eye on the Second Young Mistress.

Yes.

Soon, the Noble Enjoy Private Hospital arrived.

When Lu Yanze got out of the car, he saw Lu Yanshen hastily carrying Xia Meng into the hospital, not wasting a second.

To be so attentive to Xia Meng—could it really be that his foolish younger brother has returned from the dead?

Lu Yanze entered the hospital, took the elevator to Lu Rourou's VIP ward upstairs, and Lu Rourou was indeed still awake.

If this were a public hospital, at this time they definitely wouldn't allow outsiders to visit.

This is their Lu Family's own hospital; the Eldest Young Master came to visit his sister, and no one dared to stop him.

In the treatment room on the first floor, Lu Yanshen personally oversaw things; as the doctor treated Xia Meng, his technique was gentle, daring not to cause her pain.

……

At the same time, the Lu Family.

When Xie Wantang was about to sleep, she noticed several MMS photos had appeared on her phone, each showing Lu Yanshen and Xia Meng.

Xie Wantang's hands tightened slightly; after a moment, she calmly forwarded those photos to her older brother Qin Muyang.

She also sent a voice message to Qin Muyang: "Older brother, that's definitely Lu Yanshen."
