Xu Jiamuâs car stopped at Huan Ying Entertainmentâs entrance and he walked through the lobby. There was a new woman at the front desk whom he didnât know. She politely stopped him and asked who he was looking for.
Xu Jiamu was about to give her Lu Jinnianâs name when the phone in his pocket rang. He made a hand gesture at the woman at the front desk to wait, then walked to one side to take the call.
From the housekeeperâs words, Xu Jiamuâs expression gradually grew enraged. In the end, he didnât even think twice as he hung up the phone and completely ignored the questions from woman at the front desk. He walked over to the elevator with a livid look, pressed the button, and headed straight for the top floor.
When the elevator doors opened, Xu Jiamu walked straight to Lu Jinnianâs office. On his way, he passed Lu Jinnianâs elderly secretary whom he knew. She hurriedly got up and politely greeted him, "Mr. Xu, are youâre here to see Chief Lu?"
Xu Jiamu didnât even bother with the secretary, pushing open the door of Lu Jinnianâs office and barging in.
Lu Jinnian was sitting at his desk, talking on the phone, when he heard the loud bang of the door. He lifted his head to find Xu Jiamuâs furious face. He said "Apologies" into the phone and put it down. He stood up, walked around his desk and over to the door, which Xu Jiamu had pushed open, and shut it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Lu Jinnian, why are you closing the door? Are you afraid that your staff outside will hear about all the nasty things youâve done?" Xu Jiamu didnât wait for Lu Jinnian to close the doors before erupting in a fit of rage, and choked Lu Jinnianâs collar.
Ferocity flashed across his eyes as he spoke with a vicious expression. "Lu Jinnian, youâve done it! First, you lure my mother into a several dozen billion investment, then use it to run the Xu Enterprise stock value to the ground and buy a large amount for yourself! I really didnât know that you had this trick up your sleeve. You really hid it well. After I treated you as a biological brother all these years, in the end, this is how you treat me, right? Iâm fucking telling you, your mother was the lowly prostitute, not mine..."
Xu Jiamuâs final words instantly made Lu Jinnianâs expression run cold. His eyes were frozen with anger when he said in a low voice, "Done talking?"
As his words dropped, he raised his hand and yanked Xu Jiamuâs hands off of his collar. Then said in a heavy tone, "I donât want to talk to you about personal matters during business hours... Even if we were to discuss it, I wonât discuss it with how irrational you are right now. So, if youâre done speaking, leave now. Iâll pretend as though I never heard what you just said!"
"Lu Jinnian, donât try to act all high and mighty with me. What fucking right do you have to act all high and mighty in front of me..."
When Xu Jiamu finished speaking, Lu Jinnian suddenly pulled open the meeting room door and pointed outside. "Iâm going to say this again. I do not handle private matters during business hours. Iâm giving you two options, either you leave on your own, or I will call security to make you leave!"
With his final word, Lu Jinnian glanced towards the open door and then at Qiao Anhaoâs pale face standing on the other side of the door. He twitched his lips but never pulled his eyes away from her.
"Lu Jinnian, you better pray that nothing happens to my mother. If anything does happen, then Iâll be sure to get you!"
