A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 496 – You Never Trusted Me, Did You?

Chapter 496 You Never Trusted Me, Did You?

The Kang Family mansion…

Kang Ruicheng immediately learned that his Su Group had won the auction and got the greenfield site at 27.9 billion yuan because the Lu Enterprises gave up.

“Bang—”

Kang Ruicheng smashed an antique vase and the pieces were spread all over the ground. The two men who had told him the news froze there in cold sweat, not able to utter a single word.

“I asked you to keep an eye on her. Did she contact Lu Boyan’s men at the auction?” Kang Ruicheng shouted with a murderous look. It seemed that his words were full of anger.

The two men kept stuttering. One of them finally said in his normal voice, “Brother Cheng, back then I was monitoring Miss Xu’s communication, and Ah Li was watching her. But in the end… we didn’t find anything wrong with her.”

Kang Ruicheng glared at him with his fierce eyes. “Not at all?”

Ah Li shook his head with fear. “Not at all. “Miss Xu didn’t touch her phone at all. She was just bidding and bidding at the auction. So she couldn’t have contacted Lu Boyan’s men. “By the way, she only talked with Shen Yuechuan after the auction.”

Kang Ruicheng stared at Ah Li as if he were trying to dig two holes in him. “What did she say to him?”

“Shen Yuechuan asked her something, but we didn’t hear him clearly. I heard Miss Xu say that she didn’t regret her choice. She said Su Jianan and Lu Boyan couldn’t affect her at all. “Oh, she also said that she had gotten close to Mu Sijue and the others on purpose.”

Kang Ruicheng finally calmed down and said, “OK. You may leave.”

After the two men left the living room, Kang Ruicheng seated himself on the sofa and began to ponder.

He thought that maybe it was time for him to trust Xu Youning.

He had never trusted Xu Youning to the fullest before that moment.

He knew better than others what kind of person Xu Youning was because he had trained her himself. He knew that Xu Youning would soon be out of his control the time he found that Xu Youning had always hesitated and failed to fulfill her missions time and again when she worked undercover around Mu Sijue.

Back then, he decided to either find a way to make Xu Youning return to him willingly or kill her.

In the end, Kang Ruicheng made the former choice, which was framing Mu Sijue up after killing Granny Xu to convince Xu Youning that Mu Sijue was her mortal enemy, and then making overtures of friendship to lure her back.

However, he found that the Xu Youning who had returned to him was like a changed person. He told himself that maybe she was deeply affected by Granny Xu’s death, but he didn’t intend to trust her.

After all, he knew the best how intelligent Xu Youning was.

The reason why he had told her about his unlimited bidding strategy was to find out who she really was.

He wanted to see if Xu Youning could make up her mind to deal with Lu Boyan and whether she would tell him about it.

He thought to himself, “Now it seems that I made the right decision.”

With that, the anger in Kang Ruicheng’s eyes gradually turned into calmness. He checked the time, wondering if Xu Youning would return home soon.

At that very moment, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps and then saw Xu Youning walk into the living room in a hurry.

“What happened?” Xu Youning frowned and asked, “Didn’t you tell me that Lu Enterprises would offer 28 billion yuan in the end? “Why did Shen Yuechuan stop after he bid 27 billion yuan?”

Kang Ruicheng stood up to hold Xu Youning in his arms and looked at her with a slight smile.

It wasn’t the first time Kang Ruicheng had been close to her like that. Xu Youning found that she had overestimated herself, although she once thought that she should have gotten used to it.

She found she would never get used to that because she felt hatred for Kang Ruicheng both mentally and physically.

“What on earth happened?” Xu Youning managed to hide her hatred with a feigned unhappy look. “How can you smile?”

“Why not? “Something pleasing happened just now.” With that, Kang Ruicheng grinned.

“…” Xu Youning tilted her head to show that she was unhappy and she wasn’t interested in what he said.

However, she guessed why Kang Ruicheng felt pleased.

“Take it easy.” Kang Ruicheng cupped Xu Youning’s face in his hands and gently looked into her eyes. “It’s not your fault. Maybe I got false news. Maybe Lu Enterprises could offer at most 27 but not 28 billion yuan.”

Xu Youning looked at him with a scowl. “False news?”

“I heard about it, so I couldn’t be sure.” Kang Ruicheng’s hands trailed down while touching her arms, stopping at her palms and holding them. “But I’m sure about something else now.”

Xu Youning pretended to be confused. “What’s that?”

Kang Ruicheng gazed at Xu Youning with even deeper feelings. “A Ning, I’m glad to see you back.” With that, he bowed to kiss Xu Youning’s lips—

Xu Youning pushed him away before Kang Ruicheng could kiss her and asked with astonishment, “What did you mean by that? “Did you say that I’m back now? “I had already returned to you!” She broke away from Kang Ruicheng, seemingly agitated.

“A Ning…” Kang Ruicheng tried to hold Xu Youning again, but she dodged before he could do that.

“So you’ve never trusted me.” Xu Youning sneered as if laughing at herself. “So you told me to bid regardless of limits on purpose, didn’t you? “You thought that I would tell Lu Boyan about it. You wanted him to keep bidding against me so that you could both know what my intentions were and make Lu Enterprises suffer a heavy loss! “You took advantage of me instead of trusting me!”

“A Ning, I…” Kang Ruicheng wanted to explain but failed.

Xu Youning had no intention of listening to his explanation at all. The anger in her eyes disappeared as she calmed herself down.

Xu Youning turned to leave the mansion of the Kang family without uttering a word.

“Miss Xu.” Ah Li greeted Xu Youning as he saw her come out. “Where are you going? Should I give you a lift?”

Xu Youning shouted coldly, “Go away!”

Ah Li was stunned. He froze there, watching Xu Youning drive away.

After a while, Kang Ruicheng went out of the mansion.

Ah Li said with confusion, “Brother Cheng, Miss Xu just left.”

Kang Ruicheng threw Ah Li a tablet computer and said, “There’s a tracker in her car. You can see where she is on this tablet. Just follow her from a distance and keep her safe.”

“Got it.” Ah Li turned on the tablet and saw a 3D map of the nearby area. There was a red dot flashing and shifting fast on the screen.

Ah Li hastened to get in the car and drove after Xu Youning.

He might have been left dozens of kilometers behind if he drove slowly since Xu Youning was speeding like crazy.

After running for more than half an hour, their cars stopped by the riverside outside a villa district.

It was a famous landscape river in City A; the area had been well-decorated. It was evening; there were a lot of people walking and jogging along the riverside.

Xu Youning walked up to the riverside and rested her upper body on the fence and then stood there stock-still. Ah Li could neither see her face nor figure out what she was thinking about.

Xu Youning was lost in her thoughts.

She recalled that she and Mu Sijue had lived together in that villa district.

The reason why she had decided to go to City A was probably that Mu Sijue had always been there when he was out of City G.

She wondered, “But what’s the point of going where Mu Sijue has been? “There’s no turning back for me now. “And I will die at any time.”

She had never thought that she had to face a disease at a young age. However, she was calmer than she had expected when thinking of the disease that could endanger her life. She realized that, instead of love or romance, her priority at that moment was to help Lu Boyan get rid of Kang Ruicheng and avenge her grandmother.

She could free Mu Sijue from worries and have the courage to meet her grandmother in another world after she died only if she got rid of Kang Ruicheng.

With that in mind, Xu Youning looked at that villa district with a faint smile on her face.

However, she couldn’t help thinking to herself, “Will Mu Sijue feel sad if I die? Maybe it will take him some time to remember me.”

“Maybe Mu Sijue already has another lady by now. Maybe he only bears hatred towards me now.”

With that, Xu Youning’s smile faded. She leaned against the fence at the riverside like an extremely tired old man, fixing her dull eyes on the peaceful river as if she was either trying to relax herself or pondering over something important.

After a while, night came and darkness fell.

The old who had been walking and the young who had been jogging there left for home one after another. Xu Youning was still there resting herself on the fence at the riverside, with no intention of leaving.

Kang Ruicheng drove there and saw Xu Youning from a distance. If it weren’t for being familiar with her, he would have thought that there was a statue by the river.

He walked up to Xu Youning and asked, “Are you still angry?”

Xu Youning wasn’t surprised to see Kang Ruicheng there. She glanced at him indifferently and said, “I just don’t understand why the one who shouldn’t have trusted me never doubted me, while the one who should have trusted me never has.”

Kang Ruicheng said, “My apologies.”

Xu Youning gave him a wintry smile. “You once told me that people like us never accept an apology.”

Kang Ruicheng gave her a helpless look, which was rare for him. “Well, tell me, what do you want?”

“I want to think it over.” Xu Youning rested her chin on her hand for a while and said, “Well, you have to say yes when I ask you for something in the future!”

“No problem.” Kang Ruicheng smiled and asked, “What will you ask me for?” There was a hidden meaning about intimacy in his words.

Xu Youning knew how to deal with that. She chuckled and said, “I don’t know for now. But it’s not what you think!”

With that, she left the riverside and walked toward the parking lot. Kang Ruicheng gazed at her back with a grin.

If Xu Youning had looked back, she would have found that it was the sincerest smile Kang Ruicheng had ever given—it was a pure smile with no malice.

It was a smile from the bottom of his heart.
