Chapter 416: Chapter 416

Assistant Xue had already finished the call and returned. This time, they dispatched a large number of people to search for the president’s wife, nearly all available personnel were sent out.

Turning around, he saw his boss looking somewhat disheveled and suddenly remembered the gunshot wound the president had suffered in the past. He couldn’t help but feel worried and boldly approached, saying, "President, why don’t you rest for a while? If we find the madam, I will notify you immediately."

"No need." The man responded without a second thought, his face devoid of any expression, and even emanating a faint chill. His gaze turned towards Chen’s mother and others, and he then said, "You all go and rest."

Song Qiao had disappeared, and these servants couldn’t be of much help here; they were also a bit irritating to look at, so it was better to let them rest.

Chen’s mother was still a bit worried, after all, she had no children of her own, and the madam and sir treated her very well. The madam even promised to take care of her in her old age.

Yet she also knew she couldn’t help much here, so after sending the other servants downstairs, she went into the kitchen to prepare some food for Lu Jingchen.

When sir came back, he was completely soaked. Although his clothes were dry now, he might still catch a cold, so she also prepared some ginger soup.

Assistant Xue didn’t know what exactly had happened. He was just about to speak when suddenly a car engine sound came from outside, followed less than a minute later by footsteps, and even two sets of them.

The ones who entered were Ning Wan and Xi Mohan. As soon as Ning Wan entered the living room, she quickly rushed towards Lu Jingchen, even grabbing the man’s shirt in front, urgently and angrily questioning, "What have you done with Nianen? How could she disappear? Did you do something to her?"

Faced with the woman manhandling him, Lu Jingchen’s expression instantly turned very dark. His complexion was already grim, and now it looked even worse. His eyes even bore a hint of murderous intent as his voice turned cold as ice, "Let go."

He never liked other women touching him, except for Song Qiao.

Or perhaps... Zuo Yuqing was another exception.

Song Qiao’s disappearance had a lot to do with him. He was very aware that Song Qiao left entirely because he had rescued Zuo Yuqing from the swimming pool.

He just hadn’t expected Song Qiao to be so intolerant of any contact between him and Zuo Yuqing.

Ning Wan was clearly startled by the anger emanating from Lu Jingchen, and her hand unconsciously loosened, even taking a step back.

Damn, this man looks so terrifying, as if he might strangle me in the next second.

Xi Mohan, having grown up with Lu Jingchen, was very familiar with this man’s temperament. Usually, he might seem easy to talk to, but once anger took over, it wouldn’t be surprising if he turned into a bloodthirsty killer.

He immediately walked over and embraced Ning Wan, pulling her into his arms and away from the man in front, calmly advising, "Wanwan, don’t panic, Jingchen doesn’t know where Song Qiao is either, otherwise he wouldn’t be so anxious.’

Ning Wan forcefully removed his hands that were holding her, and with a cold look glanced at the man sitting there with a dark face and cold handsome features. She sneered, "If he is worried, would he be sitting here motionless? Qiaoqiao marrying him has been nothing but bad luck for her. Look at how many times Qiaoqiao has been hurt and how many incidents she has survived since marrying him?"

Although she had played disappearing acts herself, she still paid close attention to the events concerning Song Qiao and Lu Jingchen, especially why Lu Jingchen was shot, which she was aware of.

When Ning Wan spoke these words, there wasn’t the slightest courtesy in her tone, which was laced with irony.

Assistant Xue standing by couldn’t bear it anymore. Although Second Lady Ning was the madam’s best friend and also the woman Mr. Xi liked, and Mr. Xi was the president’s good brother, her speaking about the president was something his subordinate self could not accept.

Taking a step forward, before everyone else could speak, Assistant Xue directly said, "Second Lady Ning, the president is indeed worried about the madam. When the incident occurred, the president immediately arranged for people to search for the madam, and it’s well-acknowledged that the president treats the madam well."

Even the employees in their company couldn’t help but envy the tender care the president’s wife received from him.

Although he didn’t know exactly why the president’s wife might have left home or disappeared this time, what he said was indeed true.

"If he treats Qiaoqiao well, would he be embroiled in an unclear relationship with Zuo Yuqing?" Hearing Assistant Xue’s words, Song Qiao was not grateful at all, still being sarcastically confrontational.

Those words stifled any further courage Assistant Xue had to continue speaking up for his own president.

Although he wasn’t fully aware of these affairs, he had still heard enough to be momentarily left speechless.

Xi Mohan looked down at the woman in front of him and couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

Ning Wan was now like a little hedgehog with all its spines raised, attacking anyone who spoke a word. Their relationship had somewhat improved over the past few days, but now, because of Song Qiao, she was treating even him like an enemy.

It wasn’t surprising that Lu Jingchen was his brother, but Ning Wan tended to throw everyone into the same boat.

Honestly, Ning Wan and Song Qiao’s personalities were somewhat similar, because Song Qiao was also .

It’s no wonder that these two, who originally had little to do with each other, would become the best of friends over the years.

Ning Wan didn’t know what Xi Mohan was thinking, otherwise, she probably would have directly sprayed him in the face.

Who the hell has eased up their relationship with you these past two days? I simply couldn’t be bothered to keep showing my displeasure, it’s better treating you like you don’t exist, out of sight, out of mind.

Nevertheless, because of Ning Wan’s words, the originally expressionless Lu Jingchen looked towards Xi Mohan and coldly said, "Control your woman; make her be quiet."

Ning Wan, "..." Who the hell is his woman? Are you blind?

She wanted to curse these words outright, but her gaze suddenly fell on Chu Luo’s somewhat pale face, noticing an unnatural flush on his cheeks as well, and the words got stuck in her throat.

After a moment of silence, she frowned and then asked, "Lu Jingchen, do you have a fever?"

Her words immediately made Xi Mohan and Assistant Xue both turn their attention to Lu Jingchen.

Xi Mohan could tell at a glance that Lu Jingchen might indeed have a fever and immediately instructed Assistant Xue, "Call the family doctor over."

Two voices sounded simultaneously, the former from Assistant Xue, and the latter from Lu Jingchen.

With a stern look, Lu Jingchen raised his head and glanced at Ning Wan standing there like a little hedgehog, then his gaze shifted to Xi Mohan and he slowly uttered two words, "I’m fine."

Assistant Xue immediately didn’t dare make a move, holding onto the phone unsure whether to make the call or not.

"Looking at your appearance, you seem to have a serious fever. You know better than anyone whether you’re okay or not. If you don’t call the doctor, are you planning on burning your brain out?" Xi Mohan didn’t mince his words, nor care about the man’s increasingly dark expression, and straight away turned to Secretary Xue, instructing, "Make a call to bring the family doctor over, don’t forget that your president’s gunshot wound has not fully healed."

The gunshot wound on Lu Jingchen’s waist, though scabbed over, had not yet fully healed.

Song Qiao sat on the big living room sofa, her gaze on the man across from her as her lips twitched, she said, "You brought me here just to cook for you?"

The man across from her wore light-colored home clothes, looking very gentle and elegant, if only his expression was a bit softer.

In front of him were four dishes and one soup. Although he ate quickly, his every move still exuded an innate aristocratic temperament, as if merely watching him eat was a visually pleasant experience.

Song Qiao sat opposite him, watching him eat for a full five minutes before she couldn’t help but speak out.

Chu Munan placed a piece of fish meat in his own bowl, carefully removed the bones, then picked it up and placed it into Song Qiao’s bowl, slightly raising his eyebrows as he spoke, "Am I not allowing you to eat with me as well?"

Song Qiao, "..." Who would want to eat such greasy food in the middle of the night?

Look at the four dishes and one soup this man had her make; apart from the soup having some vegetables, the others were either fish or meat, without a single vegetable.

Song Qiao pursed her lips, but said, "I’m not hungry."

Although she didn’t eat much at the Lu Family, on the way here Chu Munan’s men bought her some food to snack on and she drank an entire bottle of water because of the long walk, so she wasn’t hungry now. Find the newest release on novel•fire.net

Initially, she thought Chu Munan had something very important when he brought her here, but unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the villa, he just wanted her to cook for him.

At that moment, she really wanted to spray him in the face; they made such a big fuss to put her in the car, making her wonder if she was being kidnapped, only to find out it was Chu Munan’s people and she was brought here.

Chu Munan had explained to her that his subordinates were all beefy men, so they weren’t very gentle; as soon as they found her, they didn’t speak a word and just picked her up and threw her into the car, giving her the feeling of being kidnapped.
