The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 235 - 134 Now Pretending to Be Innocent Here_2

After Assistant Xie left, Jian Xia finally let out a sigh of relief, but when she turned to look at the tightly shut door of the president’s office, she almost went to scratch the wall in frustration.

It was indeed Lu Jingchen who had called her to come over, saying there was an issue with the new movie they were about to start shooting, but that movie had gone through rigorous review and troubleshooting, with many high demands, initially she truly believed Lu Jingchen had sought her out because of the movie’s issues.

However, now she couldn’t help but suspect that maybe Lu Jingchen actually wanted to question her about Song Qiao and Zuo Yuqing’s injuries.

Jian Xia was a bit confused; who exactly does Lu Jingchen love, Song Qiao or Zuo Yuqing? Yesterday, she had heard from her subordinates that when Lu Jingchen arrived at their company and saw the injured Zuo Yuqing and Song Qiao, he decisively chose the former and even left Song Qiao lying on the ground.

Reportedly, Song Qiao’s injuries were more severe than Zuo Yuqing’s, who only had a sprained wrist and would recover after a few days off, but Song Qiao supposedly had injured her back and needed at least a month of rest.

She had planned to go see Song Qiao directly, but then she got a call from Lu Jingchen.

Jian Xia hesitated at the door for a long time, not daring to actually walk into the office, and finally turned and quickly walked towards the elevator.

...

Inside the office, Lu Jingchen was sitting in the leather chair with a very unpleasant expression, looking at the documents in front of him, but feeling unable to absorb a single word.

The office door opened with the sound of high heels clicking on the floor. Lu Jingchen didn’t even lift his head, but spoke up coldly, "Didn’t I say not to let anyone disturb me? Get out!"

The newcomer paused for a moment, then the sound of high heels on the floor resumed, and a clear yet tender voice said, "Jingchen, it’s me."

Lu Jingchen looked up and saw Zuo Yuqing who had reached his desk, dressed in simple casual clothes, one hand holding a Magic Mirror and the other wrapped in gauze.

Frowning slightly, Lu Jingchen put down the pen he was about to sign with, pointed his chin towards the sofa not far away, and spoke in a calm voice, "Why are you here? Your wrist hasn’t healed yet, why aren’t you staying in the hospital?"

Zuo Yuqing obediently walked over to the sofa and sat down, a faint smile on her face, her voice slightly clear as she said, "Staying in the hospital is too stifling, besides, it’s just a wrist sprain and I can recover at home as well. I just need to go to the hospital daily to check the recovery progress, so I just had Sister Xu help me with the discharge procedures and thought I’d stop by to see you on my way past CK."

Lu Jingchen sat leisurely in his boss chair, and upon hearing her words, he didn’t say much, just uttering a low hum.

Zuo Yuqing looked at his handsome face, remembering how he had rushed to pick her up at Hua Yi the moment he saw her accident. Though she was in pain at that moment and somewhat unfocused, she clearly saw his concern for her.

Her heart started to beat faster in that instant, as if something was about to burst forth.

Glancing at the thick files on his desk, Zuo Yuqing hesitated, then spoke, "Jingchen, are you very busy? I wanted to invite you for lunch, is that okay?"

She wasn’t sure about Song Qiao’s position in Lu Jingchen’s heart, but she knew she wouldn’t let go of any opportunity to win him back.

Lu Jingchen was about to speak, his lips moved, but the words halted in his mouth. The image of Song Qiao’s disappointed face yesterday flashed through his mind, his lips tightly pressed, his deep voice a bit hoarse as he spoke softly, "Yuqing, sorry, I might not be able to join you for lunch, I have a client meeting."

Upon hearing Lu Jingchen’s rejection, Zuo Yuqing immediately felt a wave of disappointment, but she didn’t show it on her face, still smiling gracefully, "That’s alright, maybe next time when you’re free."

Lu An’an was brought to CK Group by Jian Xia, and as the second young lady of the Lu Family, Lu An’an didn’t often come to CK Group, mostly to avoid suspicion since she wasn’t an employee of the company.

Even though she didn’t visit often, everyone in the secretary floor knew Lu An’an, so when Jian Xia excitedly dragged Lu An’an towards the president’s office, no one stopped them.

As the office door opened, without even looking at the people inside, Lu An’an called out, "Brother, are you there?"

The sudden intrusion made Lu Jingchen frown involuntarily, watching the two girls who walked in together, his brows locked even tighter, his lips parting slightly to speak softly, "Why did you two come together? And, don’t you know to knock before entering?"

Lu An’an looked up and the first person she saw wasn’t Lu Jingchen, but Zuo Yuqing sitting on the sofa, momentarily stunned, then smiling at her, which made Lu An’an stop in her tracks, taking quite some time before she finally uttered, "Why are you here?"

"An’an, how can you speak like that? Mind your tone." Before Zuo Yuqing could reply, Lu Jingchen had already started to scold Lu An’an.

"Jingchen, it’s alright, An’an might have a slight misunderstanding about me." Zuo Yuqing’s smile was a bit stiff, her tone carrying a touch of awkward helplessness.

Lu An’an suppressed her emotions, if she had to choose who she disliked more between Li Xin and Zuo Yuqing, she would choose Zuo Yuqing without hesitation.

After all, if it hadn’t been for this woman, how could her brother have been involved in such an incident? Now she’s here pretending to be innocent.
