Chapter 57: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,256 words

Next door is the presidential suite.

After Pei Xiao and Su Nianchu heard every word of the two female friends' conversation, they exchanged a complex glance.

They really hadn't expected Xie Wantang to hide it so deeply; she is actually the adopted daughter of the Haishi Qin Family?

If her biological parents had known this, back then they probably wouldn't have let her marry the still-disabled Lu Yanshen, thus achieving the Lu-Xie marriage alliance.

The Xie Family only needed to rely on Xie Wantang, their biological daughter, to cling to the Qin Family.

Taking off the earpiece, Su Nianchu picked up the coffee in front of her: "I've said before, her temperament and aura could not possibly have been raised by a rural couple."

"Yes yes yes, it's still Miss Su's foresight; no wonder President Lu invited you to help Madam." Pei Xiao also took off his earpiece and echoed.

Su Nianchu gave Pei Xiao a glance; after sitting on the bar's high stool for a while, she slowly walked to the living room's largest floor-to-ceiling window, lowered her head to watch the bustling traffic below, and her eyes gradually blurred.

"Pei Xiao, do you think she's really pregnant?"

This woman's lying looks just as genuine as her truthful looks; it's completely impossible to see or hear any flaw.

"She's probably pregnant? She might be able to fool everyone, but she wouldn't deceive Xu Yanqiu, her close female friend."

"If she's really pregnant, then how... could they still divorce?" Su Nianchu's chest rose and fell.

"The divorce will definitely happen; he is now Lu Yanshen, Lu Yanshen likes Xia Meng, and he wants to marry Xia Meng; he wants to protect the child in his wife's belly, but he doesn't know if all this can succeed as planned."

No matter how difficult, it must succeed; his genes are so good that whether the child in his wife's belly is a boy or a girl, it definitely won't be an ordinary child.

Pei Xiao didn't notice Su Nianchu's expression, and Su Nianchu intentionally avoided showing her truest emotions in front of Pei Xiao.

"Pei Xiao, do you think he made her pregnant because he loves her?" Su Nianchu knew some things she shouldn't say or ask, but she couldn't help herself.

Others join his team because they are conquered by his personal charm; she gives her all, striving for his approval, all for love.

She loves him.

For so many years, she never had the chance to speak this love aloud.

Now, perhaps there is no chance anymore.

He already has children with other women.

She is the best-looking woman at the base; she knows several excellent men like her, and their gaze toward her is just how men look at women.

When Pei Xiao first saw her, he rarely showed a stunned gaze.

Only he seems not to understand that she is a beauty.

He also cannot see her beauty.

Remember once, she deliberately got drunk for courage, in front of him she acted wildly and stripped naked, yet he remained unmoved.

Expressionlessly, he helped her put on her clothes and sent her back to her room.

To be able to do this, he's either not Liu Xiaohui, or he has no feelings for her...

No thoughts.

Only when a man has no desire or thought for a woman will he be unmoved to this extent.

But Xie Wantang is pregnant, carrying his child.

She envies Xie Wantang so much.

Such an excellent man, Xie Wantang got him without much effort, yet she still wants to divorce him?

How could she bear to?

Later, when Xie Wantang knows all the truth, she might regret it.

"Miss Su, come over and enter the password." Pei Xiao didn't hear her question clearly; he compressed those audio files, preparing to send them to their President Lu.

Su Nianchu's email needs a password; Pei Xiao doesn't know the password.

"'Okay.'"

Su Nianchu walked over, entered the password, opened the email, and Pei Xiao sent the files securely.

"Pei Xiao, when will this task end?"

"That's his own younger brother; he will spend his life uncovering the truth, even if he never again becomes Lu Chen in this lifetime."

They are brothers; Pei Xiao understands him.

Whatever he must do for his lifetime, even if it's an extremely boring trivial matter, he will cooperate and follow him.

Wasn't Su Nianchu also holding this belief when she joined their team?

Now, why does she seem impatient?

"Miss Su, do you want to quit midway?"

Su Nianchu shook her head: "Of course not, I was just asking."

As long as she can be by his side, be heavily relied upon by him, even if she can't touch him, it's good for her.

Only by not being greedy can one get infinitely close.

"'Hmm, then I'll go first.'"

"'Okay, then should we keep monitoring?'"

"'Let it monitor on its own; you go about your business, I'll come tomorrow to collect and organize.'"

"'Hmm, got it.'"

……

After learning Xie Wantang's true identity, Xu Yanqiu also looked up the Qin Family's three brothers online.

Xu Yanqiu has many channels, a broad network, and resources are easy to obtain.

Mainly, the Qin Family's three brothers are outstanding figures in their respective fields, objects of admiration.

So, soon, she had the photos of the Qin Family's three brothers on her phone.

Looking at the three handsome men with distinct charms on her phone, she inwardly went 'wow' again and again.

After the excitement, Xu Yanqiu began to not understand: "No, baby, these three brothers of yours are so handsome it's infuriating to both humans and gods; one outshines ten male models."

"Just this level of handsome guy, you grew up with them, eating and living together every day—how could you possibly look up to Lu Yanshen, that dog man's looks?"

"Yes, I admit, Lu Yanshen, that dog man, isn't ugly either, but he's not more handsome than your three brothers—so, you originally told me, you were after Lu Yanshen, that dog man's face?"

"Really just about looks? In my heart, you might be a bit lecherous, but not to that extent."

"Thank you, Xu Yanqiu, for rating me so highly."

"Xie Wantang had originally planned to come clean completely."

"So, she intended to recount how, at age fifteen, she encountered a mudslide, was rescued by Lu Yanshen, and over the years she has held onto the traditional belief that she must repay that lifesaving kindness with her body, hoping to grow up quickly."

"Waiting for the day she would reunite with Lu Yanshen."

"Although the story is cliché, it is her true feeling, and also her original intention of unreservedly not disliking Lu Yanshen."

"Just as Xie Wantang was about to come clean with Xu Yanqiu, the room's phone rang—it was the private butler calling, asking where she planned to have lunch."

"If it's to be in the room, she'll go arrange it now."

"\"The room, I don't want to move. \" Xie Wantang's inquiring gaze swept over, and Xu Yanqiu said lazily."

"She wanted to continue listening to the story in the room."

"Xie Wantang had Xu Yanqiu order food, then told the private butler to bring the meal to the room."

"\"Okay, MrsLu. \""

"\"Baby, keep telling me, what exactly is going on between you and Lu Yanshen, that dog man? \""

"\"Just... \""

"Xie Wantang hadn't finished speaking when her phone rang again."

"Xu Yanqiu hugged a pillow, exclaimed in annoyance, and really disliked this untimely harassing call."
