Chapter 336 Drunk, Misidentified Su Jianan

Hotel, Lu Enterprises’ annual meeting site.

Lu Enterprises’ annual meeting every year was very grand.

Its five-star hotel had not been open for the past two days, only accepting Lu Enterprises’ employees, all free of charge.

The annual meeting usually started at 7:00 pm. Lu Boyan would briefly summarize the company’s operation in the past year, and announced the expansion plan for the coming year. Finally, he thanked all the staff for their contributions to the company during that period.

Often when his speech ended, and employees would feel like rus.h.i.+ng back to the company to work overtime.

But female employees would never have that impulse. For those who couldn’t easily reach Lu Boyan, the annual meeting was a good opportunity. Anyone with courage could go to him.

When Lu Boyan was still single, the female employees in the week before the annual meeting wondered how to dress up and how to amaze him.

However, in the past years, Lu Boyan had always taken Han Ruoxi to attend, and their painstaking efforts were all overwhelmed.

That year, Han Ruoxi had left Lu Enterprise Media, and Su Jianan, the ex-wife, did not appear at the annual meeting. Lu Boyan went alone…

Their chances were coming!

“Stop pus.h.i.+ng.” The female employees were excited to look at Lu Boyan on the speech stage. “All of you will see him!”

The male colleagues couldn’t help but joke, “It’s as if you could split Boss Lu among yourselves.”

“What do you know!? A super-premium man like Boss Lu, a woman can’t digest him alone! You see the consequences of the former president’s wife having him to herself alone? She was so maligned!”

Another female colleague echoed, “Yes, Boss Lu is such a perfect man, he should be a popular lover!”

In the discussion, Lu Boyan’s speech ended, and the audience all applauded. It was almost at the same time; the door of the banquet hall was pushed open—

Some people, born with a halo of stars, no matter what the occasion, no matter how many people were present, could always attract everyone’s attention.

It was Han Ruoxi who had suddenly showed up.

The discussion immediately exploded, and a female employee screamed, “Why is she here? Is it really like the media reported, that Boss Lu was with her?”

At the annual meeting in previous years, as long as Han Ruoxi appeared, other female colleagues would be stunned by her, even if they were all dressed up.

Therefore, there weren’t many female employees at Lu Enterprises’ head office who liked Han Ruoxi.

So someone immediately said bitterly, “Then, I would rather Boss Lu be with his former wife!”

It was not that Su Jianan was not beautiful. Su Jianan did not lose to Han Ruoxi, but there was a big difference between them: Han Ruoxi’s beauty and s.e.xiness were arrogant, sharp and angular, and very aggressive. Women did not like to be with such a woman.

But Su Jianan was different. Su Jianan’s beauty was like being soft-lighted, warm, not a bit aggressive, and it made people feel unprepared for her.

When Lu Boyan and Su Jianan were together, they, as the people who admired Lu Boyan for a long time, at least felt comfortable.

But if Han Ruoxi had Lu Boyan to herself, they would not accept it!

Han Ruoxi knew very well that some women were hostile toward her, but she didn’t care, because she didn’t need to.

She did not squint, stepping on the 10cm Jimmy Choo’s high heels, carrying a queen’s gesture and heading straight to Lu Boyan, naturally greeting him, “Good evening.”

Lu Boyan did not remember sending an invitation to Han Ruoxi for the annual meeting, and he frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”

“I have been with you at this time of the year. I am here this year, why is it weird?” Han Ruoxi put on a smile on her lips, “Or, would you rather let the female employees who are coveting you entangle you?”

“I’ll give you a minute, leave this place.” Lu Boyan’s voice was chilly, and he just walked away without seeing Han Ruoxi.

Han Ruoxi barely convinced the security guard to let her in. How could she leave?

She maintained a distance that was not intimate and alienated, and followed Lu Boyan. All kinds of gazes were cast from all sides; disdain, and envy, but more of curiosity.

Many people were waiting to see a good show.

If Lu Boyan continued to ignore Han Ruoxi like that, then her deliberately messing the schedule, it would become a drama insulting herself.

However, their anecdote had recently been circulated, so she did not mind taking the initiative.

Han Ruoxi followed Lu Boyan as she did in previous years, and smiled and responded to each person who greeted her after they greeted Lu Boyan.

Lu Boyan’s face looked more and more gloomy, and when he reached a corner where there was no one, he turned back and looked at Han Ruoxi. He said, “Have you had enough?”

“How can I?” Han Ruoxi’s white and slender fingers pointed at Lu Boyan’s heart. “What I want is to live in here.”

Lu Boyan sneered and took away Han Ruoxi’s hand. “I advise you to forget about it.”

“Don’t tell me that you still remember Su Jianan,” Han Ruoxi smiled, “I heard that she ran to see Jiang Shaokai’s parents. Moreover, the Jiang family did not mind that she was previously married.”

Lu Boyan squinted and said word for word, “In this life, Su Jianan can’t be remarried!”

Although he said it in such a determined way, Lu Boyan’s mood was still uncontrollable and was angered.

After leaving the Jiangyuan Hotel that day, he never saw Su Jianan again, but he always remembered the way she talked with the Jiang family that day, remembering what she said to him that day—

“Lu Boyan, let me go, I don’t want to stay with you anymore. Since you didn’t want me to be in danger at first, and didn’t want to look for me and see me, why do you force me to take risks with you now?”

He couldn’t care less about what Su Jianan had said, and he couldn’t convince himself that it was what Su Jianan deliberately said to stimulate him. At that time, her expression was dead serious.

However, it was even more unacceptable for him that Su Jianan really wanted to leave him.

In the past few days, Shen Yuechuan had at times mentioned Su Jianan inadvertently while speaking with him, saying that she stayed in Su Yicheng’s apartment, and did not go out at all. Jiang Shaokai only commuted between his apartment and the police station, and had nothing to do with Su Jianan.

The more the case was, the more he felt depressed. Han Ruoxi’s words only made it worse.

“Boss Lu,” the company’s acting financial controller approached them and raised a cup toward Lu Boyan, “I want to make a toast to you, wis.h.i.+ng you a happy new year in advance.”

Lu Boyan responded politely. Looking up, the liquid in the cup went straight to the bottom.

The acting director was secretly stunned and put a smile on his face. “Boss Lu is good at drinking.”

Next, as long as someone toasted Lu Boyan, he would not refuse; he would smile and drink up, which made the employees feel flattered.

Han Ruoxi tried to grab Lu Boyan’s wine gla.s.s several times, but before she did it, Lu Boyan would look at her coldly, and she had to take back her hand.

She was not the woman who could take control of Lu Boyan.

The consequence of Lu Boyan’s continuous drinking was getting drunk.

Shen Yuechuan greeted the company’s vice president and sent Lu Boyan to go home.

After returning from the Jiangyuan Hotel that day, Lu Boyan’s face was always cloudy, as if he would get angry at any time, and old employees were afraid to greet him.

On the second day, after the news of Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan’s “Seeing Parents” came out, he guessed that such a day had to come, and Lu Boyan would definitely use alcohol to paralyze himself.

Han Ruoxi caught up with Shen Yuechuan. “I will send him back with you.”

“No need,” Shen Yuechuan closed the door and said, “In case others misunderstand.”

Han Ruoxi was silent for a long while, and sincerely looked at Shen Yuechuan. “Please give me a chance.”

“What?” Shen Yuechuan leaned a hand on the car and looked at Han Ruoxi.

Han Ruoxi paused and said, “I like him. I like him since I first saw him. I tried to pick up drama and hone my acting skills, just to be able to stand on his side proudly one day, and people would not say that I’m with him because of money.” Now that I succeeded, he and Su Jianan got married, he even told me that he loves Su Jianan. Other than Su Jianan in this life, he does not want anyone.”

Shen Yuechuan was still very confused. “Miss Han, what are you trying to say…?”

“I want to see if when he’s not sober, does he still only want Su Jianan?” Han Ruoxi first expressed her pleading eyes, “Yuechuan, please give me this opportunity. Or, give me a chance so that I can let it go, if tonight he can prove that he will never belong to me, I will choose to let him go.”

There were not many interactions between Shen Yuechuan and Han Ruoxi, but he knew how proud that woman was.

Giving an opportunity to let Han Ruoxi forget about him, but also giving Lu Boyan peace, why not?

Shen Yuechuan opened the door of the back seat. “Get in the car.”

He sent Lu Boyan back to the apartment in the city center.

Maybe he knew that Su Jianan was not around, so after he got drunk, Lu Boyan was very peaceful. When Shen Yuechuan asked him to go upstairs, he took a step. He did not realize that Han Ruoxi was behind him, and he did not know that the telephoto lens was aimed at him and Han Ruoxi at the moment.

After sending Lu Boyan back to the room to rest, Shen Yuechuan looked at Han Ruoxi. “What do you want to do?”

“Give me twenty minutes,” Han Ruoxi said, “but please go out.”

Shen Yuechuan looked at the time, nodded and left the room.

Lu Boyan’s apartment and villa were decorated in different styles, more modern but simpler. The lines of the furniture were simple and neat; almost all of them were black and white, and the whole room revealed a unique cold taste.

Han Ruoxi looked at Lu Boyan on the bed, just like seeing him for the first time.

She took off her coat and slowly lay down on the bed, leaning into Lu Boyan’s arms.

Lu Boyan seemed to be aware of it, reaching out to hug her. She was happy, but before that joy had spread out from the bottom of her heart, it fell into the bottom of the valley—

Lu Boyan called, “Jianan.”

It turned out that he regarded her as Su Jianan.

After a long time, Han Ruoxi succeeded in persuading herself not to care. Lu Boyan was drunk, and it was normal to treat her as Su Jianan.

She answered, unlocked the b.u.t.ton of Lu Boyan’s s.h.i.+rt and touched his lips.

Since she had been confused with Su Jianan, then that day, she thought that Lu Boyan would accept her.

Half of Lu Boyan’s consciousness was vague.

In vagueness, he seemed to have returned to the past—his arms were no longer empty. Su Jianan leaned over like a small obedient pet, leaning on him, occasionally looking up at him with a smile.

And as long as he bowed his head, he could hold her honeyed lips and enjoy her sweetness.

She left him for so long and finally she was willing to come back.

Lu Boyan circled her slender waist, turned over, and the “Su Jianan” in his arms became his prey…
