Chapter 299 The Final Luxury

Jianan looked ghastly.

She did know what would happen to Lu Boyan and Lu Enterprises once these secrets were exposed.

It was not exaggerated at all to call it a huge calamity.

“Lu Enterprises is in deep trouble now. Is Lu Boyan still calm to tell you that he has another trump card?” Kang Ruicheng held the cigar, enjoying the flurried appearance of Su Jianan with great interest.

“…”

“Oh—” Kang Ruicheng sneered slightly. “What is his so-called trump card? You should have guessed it. If he really wants to collaborate with Mu Sijue, do you think he can whitewash his past?”

“…” Su Jianan’s pupils suddenly contracted and she still said nothing.

“He cannot whitewash himself,” Kang Ruicheng asked and answered himself, “He will be investigated by the police in his rest life. Whether I release the evidence against him or not, the police will also know finally. Lu Boyan will not escape prison. I can give you time to consider the divorce with him, but you must remember the time is limited. So you had better answer me soon.”

Kang Ruicheng’s tone carried a deathly threat.

Su Jianan forgot how she left the hotel.

She suddenly felt that the temperature was going to drop this year when she went out of the heated hotel and was surrounded by the chilling wind.

“What will you do?” On the way back, Jiang Shaokai asked her while driving.

“…”

” I do not know.” Su Jianan said after a long while.

Her voice was like a thin piece of paper, so fragile as if it would be smashed once the wind blew.

The feeling was so-called confusion and hesitation.

She could not leave but had to. Once she pictured it on her mind, her heart would throb.

What should she do?

Su Jianan was still out of her mind after returning to the office and did not know what to do, looking lost before the computer. So Jiang Shaokai took care of everything.

A financial title caught her attention when she opened a news website.

—Lu Enterprises Rescued as Fang Qize Might Loan Them.

She opened the webpage hurriedly, seeing a photo of Lu Boyan and Fang Qize shaking hands. According to the report, Fang Qize, a new leader of the loan transaction department of Huinan Bank, thought Lu Boyan and Lu Enterprises would have prosperous prospects together. Moreover, he would consider cooperating with Lu Enterprises.

Su Jianan stared at the title of news and pondered. “Is this an opportunity, or…”

The phone suddenly rang between her thinking, and the screen showed Han Ruoxi’s number.

Su Jianan picked it up but Han Ruoxi spoke slowly after a while. “I asked Ah Ze to reconsider Lu Enterprises’ loan application.”

Su Jianan unconsciously clenched her phone. “What do you want to say?”

“Don’t you know?” Han Ruoxi laughed contemptuously. “The existence of Lu Enterprises is up to you now.”

“…”

“As long as you divorce Lu Boyan, I will ask Ah Ze to loan out right away and Lu Boyan won’t suspect a thing,” Han Ruoxi said word by word, “or, you can watch Lu Boyan risking himself cooperating with Mu Sijue.”

Su Jianan instantly connected Han Ruxi with Kang Ruicheng, who wasn’t connected before at all, and then asked, “Han Ruoxi, what is your relationship with Kang Ruicheng? And how do you know Boyan’s last way is to cooperate with Mu Sijue?”

She once told Han Ruoxi quite confidently, “Even if Huinan Bank does not loan him money, Lu Boyan still has other ways.”

At that time, Han Ruoxi scorned. It turned out that Han Ruoxi knew what Lu Boyan’s other ways were.

But how did Han Ruoxi know that? Why did Han Ruoxi and Kang Ruicheng have bargaining chips respectively? However, they had the same requirement and that was her divorcing Lu Boyan.

The evidence that might convict Lu Boyan or the loan alone might not necessarily make Su Jianan bow down to them.

But if they worked together, the probability of her giving in would be greatly increased.

Did they, Kang Ruicheng and Han Ruoxi, join hands with each other?

“Who is Kang Ruicheng?” Han Ruoxi sounded confused and she just went on. “I’ve known Lu Boyan for many years. Naturally, I knew how close he was to Mu Sijue in City G. I even knew he had a fund from Mu Sijue in the early days of his business. You said he still had other ways without the loan, wasn’t it Mu Sijue’s help? But Su Jianan, you really don’t know what Mu Sijue does?”

“…”

“True, Mu Sijue can help Lu Enterprises through the crisis. But the police also will notice them and by the time Lu Boyan and Lu Enterprises will both be investigated. Is this what you want?” Han Ruoxi said aggressively, “Or, do you not care at all?”

Su Jianan hung up the phone, slamming it on the table. Her temples throbbed, and her head seemed to be tightened up by someone, painfully swelling.

How should she choose?

How to get rid of the threat from Han Ruoxi and Kang Ruicheng?

“Or, you might as well tell Lu Boyan the bad thing and discuss with him?” Jiang Shaokai poured her a glass of water.

“No.” Su Jianan shook her head.

At least, not right now.

If I told Lu Boyan that, he would not agree absolutely. And if it was like that, it would be impossible to get the loan and in the meanwhile, Kang Ruicheng would hand in the documents to the police, and by then… it would be all over.

If not, Lu Enterprises would have the last chance at least. Additionally, he would not have to take risks.

…

Su Jianan did not take Uncle Xu’s car, on the contrary, she drove back by herself.

She needed space just for herself to calm down.

She remembered Lu Boyan in the news when she was in the university in this peaceful atmosphere.

The business tycoon was young, handsome, and high-spirited. Even if expressionless, he still exuded natural and majestic auras.

He was a natural leader, so he should stand at the vantage point of the business, running business freely.

He could not lose, losing his pride and even the trust of the long-time employees who accompanied him from the founding of Lu Enterprises.

The only safe way was to give in to Han Ruoxi and Kang Ruicheng’s condition so as to let Fang Qize agree to loan.

Divorce.

The word was like a sharp knife that stuck accurately into the center of Su Jianan’s heart.

Blood was flowing, but she could not show a bit of pain.

The car drove into Dingya Villas. Su Jianan stepped on the brakes, parking the white car at the door.

Home—

Watching that four-story villa inside the door—Su Jianan remembered she used to think it would always be her home no matter what happened. No matter what she suffered out there, as long as she came back here, everything would be okay because people here loved her and protected her.

However, she still could not have too much happiness.

Su Jianan got off the car and prepared a sumptuous dinner. When Lu Boyan came back, he picked eyebrows surprisingly. “What good thing happened today?”

“Mr. Fang is willing to reconsider loaning Lu Enterprises money, isn’t it good?” Su Jianan said with a smile.

“It’s good.” Lu Boyan pointed at the quite rich food, “but is it now too…”

“Not early at all!” Su Jianan decisively interrupted Lu Boyan and pulled him to sit down. “If he didn’t want to loan, Mr. Fang won’t release the news!”

It meant that they almost succeeded at the loaning. So it was worth celebrating!

She was so excited that Lu Boyan could not interrupt, so he sat down and enjoyed her superb cooking.

Halfway through the dinner, Lu Boyan suddenly asked, “How do you like to spend your next birthday?”

Su Jianan realized it after a short daze. Now it was the end of December, and her birthday was near.

Shopping, eating out, watching movies… these were all things young couples enjoyed, and Lu Boyan had done them with her. But he had never spent time with her on her birthday.

Well, she decided to have a final luxury.

Su Jianan’s bright eyes were full of expectations. “Do you have time?”

“Five days,” Lu Boyan said, “You can go wherever you want to go and do whatever you want, I will accompany you.”

Expectations in Su Jianan’s eyes became shock.

During this time, Lu Boyan had been work overtime excessively. Now, it finally explained itself—he was squeezing time—to get to celebrate her birthday.

She felt shocked, but a little happy.

But more than that, she felt melancholy and regretful.

How long could she still be happy?

“Having you decided on the destination?” Lu Boyan asked.

“France,” Su Jianan said without hesitation, “You promised to take me to France at the end of this year.”

It was just what he expected. He called the secretary and asked them to book a hotel and arrange the itinerary.

Su Jianan also called Captain Yan in advance to ask for a leave. Captain Yan knew about her situation during this time and replied quickly without further questions.

Su Yicheng heard that Lu Boyan and Su Jianan were going abroad. So he sent Su Jianan’s birthday present in advance.

It was a document.

Cheng An Group intended to cooperate with Lu Enterprises Media, launching a reality show that was introduced from abroad. Lu Enterprises Media only needed to provide suitable talents.

“Cheng An” suffered a little bit of loss, but for Lu Enterprises, it was a cooperation that brought only money, never risks.

Lu Boyan knew that Su Yicheng tried his best to help him.

Lu Boyan signed the name, exchanged documents with Su Yicheng, and solemnly said, “Thank you.”

Su Yicheng smiled carelessly. “I did this for my sister.”

Su Yicheng handed a delicate box to Su Jianan. “This is the real birthday gift and I wish you a happy birthday in advance.”

Su Jianan opened the box, as she expected, it was a watch.

During a few years after her mother’s passing away, Su Jianan refused birthday presents from Su Yicheng. She knew that Su Yicheng planned to open a company, so she was always thinking about how to help him save money.

Later, Su Yicheng’s business grew bigger and bigger and Cheng An Group began to take shape. Su Yi Cheng also became the most eligible bachelor in people’s eyes, and he could totally afford those gifts. Therefore, in the name of compensation, Su Jianan received gifts from him from time to time.

It would some limited-edition designer’s jewelry or popular clothes of the season.

In the past few years, Su Jianan no longer lacked those kinds of stuff. Knowing that Su Jianan liked collecting watches, so he turned all his gifts into watches.

He didn’t need to come up with a new present idea, and Su Jianan would definitely like it. Why wouldn’t he send watches?

Although there were no surprises, Su Jianan was still very touched.

She hugged Su Yicheng. “Brother, thank you.” She was grateful for not only this watch but also his help to Lu Enterprises.

Su Yicheng patted her back. “I only want you to be happy.”

Su Jianan’s eyes suddenly turned red. “I will.”

No one noticed the true sorrow hiding in her tearful tone.
