Queen Of Hearts Is The CEO’s, Mysterious Love. - Chapter 124
This girl is not Li Na! Li Cheng sighed in relief looking at the girl and around the room checking all corners for another body. Dead or alive he doesn’t know. Where is Li Na? it took some time for Li Cheng to overcome his horrors of seeing Li Na messing in bed with other guys. He could not imagine the anger of that man after knowing his mistress is fuċkɨnġ men around in clubs. It’s hard to believe Lu Jianjun would sell off Li Na like someone in her past then why would she do it here anyway? Lu Jianjun wouldn’t allow Li Na to be here unless she…
Just then Dan came yelling behind him, “Damn you ȧsshole, get out,” then all of sudden Li Cheng aggressively grabbed Dan’s collar and shove him against the wall. “Where the fuċk is she? What did you do to her?” Li Cheng shouted.
Dan struggled as he stutters then yells, “I-I don’t know. What the fuċkɨnġ hell are you doing!? What does it matter to you, Cheng? Leave me…”
“Where is Li Na?”Li Cheng repeatedly questioned him quite a while yet Dan refused to answer.
At last, Li Cheng releases him, “What does it matter to me, just you wait, fuċker!? I’ll let you know who the fuċk you’ve messed with,” Li Cheng called Ethan but he could not connect then he considerately called Lu Jun-hui’s ȧssistant to get through.
Gala Night:
Ethan was too busy attending and taming the attention, his big boss convoked, some were the biggies in the business arena which can’t be simply ignored. The only relief he had that he managed to attend side ones whereas Lu Jianjun answers the important ones and Ethan didn’t realize when the time fly off. He completely forgot about Li Na until Lu Jianjun questioned him asking about her. Just then Ethan excused himself to make a call away from clusters of murmurs and laughs as he watched Lu Jianjun’s back walking away. He just hopes this last meeting finishes and the night ends smoothly.
Lu Jianjun stepped into a resting lounge attached to the conference room. As he entered through the door, he looked out in the dark night, the shimmering skyscrapers outside the window looked pleasant and serene than bustling light inside the hall. Near the glass window’s edge, Zhang Han was standing answering the phone with his back to him, along with him was his ȧssistant standing at a distance from Zhang Han. Perhaps hearing Lu Jianjun’s footsteps they turned back.
His ȧssistant, Fei Jie gently bowed his head towards Lu Jianjun while Zhang Han swiftly concluded the call. Taking the queue, Fei Jie went to fetch drinks as Zhang Han walked towards the table and greeted extending his hand forward, “President Lu, nice to meet you.” a light smile decked his lips.
As they shook hands like professionals Lu Jianjun replied faintly, “The pŀėȧsurės all mine, thank you!”
Lu Jianjun was impressed and convinced by Zhang Han’s scholarly and clean background. No wonder why, Zhang Han was an ideal match and romantic interest of Mei Xing. Though there were a few off airy rumors of his likely affairs in some foreign land with the actress Mei Lein catching blurry images on cameras Zhang Han never confirmed the rumor, his PR agency always denying it. Fair enough, that was true because Zhang Han had an affair with Mei-Xing, and not with the popular celebrity twin-Mei Lein that media knows about. Lu Jianjun guessed and it appeared like their love triangle as Mein Lein never denied those rumors was somewhat amusing to see how it settled with delayed marriage just as he doubted.
“I must say it was quite a surprise to see you here tonight, Was it change of style or preferences? ” Zhang Han asked lightheartedly as he smiled and the two men sat at their respective sofas.
Lu Jianjun smiled simply. “I’d say the change of preference from me. What about you, it was quite a shock expecting a newly married man to be here while in his honeymoon period. Style or preference?” his gaze fell on his wedding ring which the man wore proudly before he looked up again. Lu Jianjun wondered if Zhang Han is aware of the blunder which had already disturbed his life and could plunder Zhang Han’s life if Li Na revealed herself? Besides Zhang Han seems unaware. Well, it doesn’t affect his married life then it’s good that he doesn’t know anything. Lu Jianjun can only feel empathy towards the delusional girl though it’s not her fault for sulking and feeling depressed, deceived to know about Zhang Han’s marriage. But she needs to know that time and circumstances never spare anyone.
Receptive, Zhang Han laughed lightly from what he heard about of him, Lu Jianjun seems composed and collected persona rather than an oppressive and self-centered man. “Neither. I’d say more of compulsive obligation.” he calmly answered.
Lu Jianjun raised an eyebrow, his look confused. Just then Fie Jie entered and filled their glasses and offered drinks. Picking up a glass, Zhang Han’s smile grew and he replied, stroking his ring affectionately with his thumb where her initials were written, “You would understand when you get a wife. Your most decision is no longer yours but mutual.” Lu Jianjun nodded with a smile he didn’t miss to notice the softness in Zhang Han’s voice and eyes as he spoke about wedlock settlement, Lu Jianjun didn’t probe further into his married life nor he wanted to build any friendship with this man. It’s better they should remain formal guests or known strangers of each other.
“Anyways, Congratulation on your wedding!” Lu Jianjun raised his drink for the toast as their glasses clinked Zhang Han acknowledged graciously. “Thank you! So what is your business interest? I heard you’re planning to do some investment in healthcare.”
Lu Jianjun hummed, as he said, ” Hmm, I’m interested in Li Corporation. if you don’t have plans then I would like to purchase your shares or if you could ȧssist I want the entire Li Enterprise.”
“Li Corporation?” Zhang Han emphasized to recalled the bankrupt and abandoned Li corporation from his father’s time only lasting because of Madam Smith’s some personal grudge or interest. Zhang Han didn’t know exactly how many of the percent shares Zhang Enterprise holds in Li’s corporation as it hardly makes any profit or difference in his business list. It was an old deal conflict in which, his and Mei Xing’s parents were involved, somehow they’re still are involved in it indirectly.
“Why Li Corporation? ” Zhang asked, it was surprising to see some outsider as Lu Jianjun himself was interested in a failed deal company which is not worth spending money and precious time on the Li Firm. Always dangling between the bankruptcy and continuation, all past investors who tried could be the case study of broken end and even if Lu Jianjun managed to put enough money into that black hole, Li corporation has no future growth and warranty to compete in today’s market giants. Only a miracle can save Li Corporation from that dark abysses. “If you want to invest in healthcare then it’s not worth investing money Li corporation. Unless you’ve…”
“I’ve got the right person and mind to trust with my money. No need to worry,” Lu Jianjun stated clearing his doubts.
“Okay, so you already have a full proof plan and the team ready. That’s interesting! ” Zhang Han leaned back thoughtfully.
“Not at all, I don’t have the team as the planing is in the initial stages. She’s quite moody and unpredictable. I’m sure it’s going to be a one-woman show. You would be surprised to know she’s…” Lu Jianjun responded as they were interrupted by Zhang Han’s cellphone ring. He went to disengage the caller but the name flashing on his screen made him hesitated. He glances towards Lu Jianjun as it will be very rude and unethical to hindering the business conversation.
Lu Jianjun chuckled as he permitted with a nod for Zhang Han to accept his phone call, Zhang Han immediately got up and excused himself walking at a distance speaking slowly. While Zhang Han was checking Lu Jianjun had a glimpsed at the caller’s name ‘New Home’ and as Zhang Han picked up he also heard the anxious, meek voice of the woman from the other end. The woman seems to complain about some house infiltration.
With a glass in his hand, in a daze, Lu Jianjun was absentmindedly gazing out in the night sky. A few minutes passed in a blink when he was snapped out of the trance, an anxious Ethan came before him and he stutters to informed the situation at home.
Abruptly, Lu Jianjun placed the glass down, got up as he turned before stepping out of the room. He didn’t bother to explain or instructed Ethan of later as he walked out of the venue the only name and matter remained in his head like a ringing alarm was Li Na.
Gripping the steering wheel, Lu Jianjun’s knuckles turned white as he reversed the car and then stepping onto the accelerator the drove off with menacing speed. He jerks his tie loose, his jaw clenched, eyes darkened. The raw anger was evident from his aura as if the moment he finds Li Na he’s going to tear her apart before that he needs to know exactly Where is Li Na?
Suddenly, his legs abruptly hit the break. The earlier piece of the phone conversation of Zhang Han made him still. Could it be she went to Zhang Han’s new house?
