10:00 AM, Lu Corporation Headquarters.
Lu Bochuan had just finished a meeting and returned to his office when Zhou Zheng came in to report that Jiang Xinran was in the lobby downstairs, asking to come up and see him.
"I won't see her," Lu Bochuan's voice was cold. Remembering what Shu Qingqing had said the other day about Jiang Xinran constantly taking money from Lu Yu, he called Zhou Zheng back. "Suspend Lu Yu's cards for now. If he needs to buy anything, you can just pay for it directly."
It wasn't that he was unaware of Lu Yu giving Jiang Xinran money, but he hadn't expected her to be so greedy, demanding half a million a month. Therefore, he completely agreed with Shu Qingqing; they could no longer let them act like leeches sucking Lu Yu dry.
Besides, of the fifty million given back then, half was squandered by Jiang Xinran's husband on failed investments, and the other half was spent by Jiang Xinran herself.
Zhou Zheng nodded in agreement. Upon returning, he called the front desk and asked them to kick Jiang Xinran out.
However, Zhou Zheng didn't realize that the receptionists wouldn't dare kick her out.
Jiang Xinran had visited the company once before with Lu Yu. Everyone knew she was Lu Yu's aunt, so naturally, they didn't dare slight her.
The receptionist tactfully explained that Lu Bochuan was in a meeting and didn't have time, urging Jiang Xinran to leave.
Jiang Xinran blew up the moment she heard this. "Do you know who I am? Why wouldn't my brother-in-law see me? You guys definitely didn't pass on the message properly."
The receptionist carefully explained, "Our CEO Lu really doesn't have time. Assistant Zhou said so himself."
Hearing that it was Zhou Zheng who said it, Jiang Xinran stopped pestering her. "Fine. My brother-in-law is in a meeting, right? I'll just wait here. Let me know when his meeting is over."
Jiang Xinran plopped herself down on a sofa in the lobby's lounge area.
Ever since her argument with Shu Qingqing last time, Lu Yu had been ignoring her. Not only did he stop transferring money to her, but he also stopped answering her calls. When she sent him messages, Lu Yu even told her to apologize to Shu Qingqing!
On what grounds!
That bitch Shu Qingqing must have been badmouthing her to Lu Yu again.
The more Jiang Xinran thought about it, the more upset she felt. Furthermore, a few days ago, a friend mentioned a high-return project and wanted her to invest together. But since Lu Yu wasn't sending her money, she only had a hundred thousand on hand, which was nowhere near enough.
While she was stressing over this, she accidentally saw Jiang Yue's old notebook, and an idea suddenly popped into her head.
So, she forged a letter mimicking Jiang Yue's handwriting.
Hmph, her brother-in-law loved Jiang Yue so much. She was sure that if he saw this letter, he would be moved to tears and then transfer a large sum of money to her.
Jiang Xinran sat there for over an hour, looking as if she absolutely had to see Lu Bochuan today.
In the bustling lobby, many passing employees cast glances in her direction.
Soon, the news of the boss's former sister-in-law visiting the company spread through all the group chats.
When Shu Qingqing woke up in the morning, she opened the backend to check her private messages as usual. Suddenly, a WeChat message popped up.
[Admin Dept Xiaoxiao: Qingqing! Are you there?!]
Shu Qingqing thought for a moment before remembering who this Xiaoxiao from the Admin Department was.
She was a colleague the original owner of her body used to be quite good friends with when she worked at the company. However, ever since the original owner married Lu Bochuan, she rarely contacted her former colleagues.
She replied with a smiley face and asked what was going on.
The other party replied very quickly:
[Admin Dept Xiaoxiao: Jiang Xinran is at the company! She says she wants to see CEO Lu!]
Jiang Xinran went to the Lu Corporation?
[Admin Dept Xiaoxiao: But I heard CEO Lu didn't see her.]
[Admin Dept Xiaoxiao: However, she's been sitting in the lobby for over an hour now. I guess she won't leave until she sees him.]
Shu Qingqing thanked her and didn't pay it much mind.
Let Jiang Xinran wait if she wants to. Lu Bochuan definitely wouldn't see her.
Shu Qingqing went downstairs to eat something, and when she took out her phone again, she saw another message from Xiaoxiao.
[Admin Dept Xiaoxiao: Assistant Zhou just came down to kick her out, but Jiang Xinran is holding something she claims belongs to her sister. She says she has to give it to CEO Lu personally. Assistant Zhou has already gone up to report it.]
Jiang Yue's belongings?
If it really was Jiang Yue's, would Jiang Xinran's personality have allowed her to keep it until now? She would have brought it to Lu Bochuan ages ago.
The words Jiang Xinran had said that day suddenly popped into her mind again:
"If you hadn't interfered, I might have married my brother-in-law a long time ago."
Shu Qingqing frowned, grabbed her keys, and headed to the garage.
She was going to see exactly what kind of tricks Jiang Xinran was playing this time.
The CEO's office.
Zhou Zheng waited until Lu Bochuan finished signing the documents in his hand before speaking up, "CEO Lu, Jiang Xinran says she has a suicide note from her sister addressed to you. What do you think..."
Lu Bochuan didn't even look up. "No."
He knew Jiang Yue. Given her personality, if she really had something to say to him, she would have brought Lu Yu to find him back then. There would be no need to write a last letter.
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng walked straight out.
Returning to his office, he was worrying about how to get rid of Jiang Xinran when the front desk called again, saying that Mrs. Lu had arrived.
Zhou Zheng didn't have time to tell his boss and hurried down to welcome her personally.
As soon as Shu Qingqing entered the lobby, she saw Jiang Xinran playing on her phone on the sofa.
The young receptionist saw her and immediately came over to greet her. "Madam."
Shu Qingqing searched through the original owner's memories and quickly found the receptionist's name. "Qi Jia, please go and call Jiang Xinran over. I'll take her to the top floor."
The young receptionist smiled apologetically. "Madam... Assistant Zhou just said that CEO Lu doesn't want to see Miss Jiang. What do you..."
Shu Qingqing said, "It's fine. I'll take her up. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
The receptionist hesitated, torn on whether to agree, when she saw Zhou Zheng jogging over.
"Madam, what brings you here?" Zhou Zheng was full of enthusiasm.
"Didn't they say Jiang Xinran brought a suicide note? I came to see what exactly is going on."
Zhou Zheng paused, suddenly regretting that he hadn't informed his boss about his wife's arrival. But he didn't dare stop her either, so he could only invite Shu Qingqing upstairs first.
The elevator went straight to the top floor.
After entering, the entire executive suite was still very quiet.
Unlike her state of mind when she first transmigrated, this time she was in the mood to take a good look around before following Zhou Zheng to Lu Bochuan's office.
Zhou Zheng raised his hand and knocked on the door. A voice from inside called out, "Come in."
After Shu Qingqing went in, she waited a while, but Lu Bochuan didn't look up, so she let out a light cough.
"Qingqing?" Lu Bochuan strode over and took her hand, unable to hide the joy on his face. "What brings you here?"
Shu Qingqing smiled faintly. "I heard Jiang Xinran has something she wants to give you. I was curious, so I came over."
Lu Bochuan immediately looked at Zhou Zheng.
It wasn't that he didn't want her to know, but what if it really was a letter written to him by Jiang Yue... would she be angry if she saw it?
Zhou Zheng froze and hurriedly shook his head. He really wasn't the one who tipped her off.
Shu Qingqing pulled her hand back and sat on the sofa. "Assistant Zhou, please have Jiang Xinran bring the item up."
Zhou Zheng glanced at Lu Bochuan. Seeing no objection, he went out to call her up.
Upon learning she could go up, Jiang Xinran felt extremely smug.
But who knew that as soon as she walked in, she would see Shu Qingqing sitting right there on the sofa.
"Shu Qingqing? Why are you here?"
Shu Qingqing offered a sweet smile. "I am the wife of the CEO of Lu Corporation. Naturally, I can come and go as I please."
Jiang Xinran tightly clutched the letter in her hand.
Acting high and mighty now, are we? Just wait until this letter is revealed. Let's see how smug she is then.
Putting on a sorrowful expression, Jiang Xinran said, "Brother-in-law, I found this yesterday while sorting through my sister's belongings. It seemed so important that I didn't dare open it. You need to take a look right away."
