Wrong Marriage: The CEO's Sweet Bride

The glass wall in front of him could not hide the expression on Lu Mengping's face.

Under Xin Sheng's penetrating gaze, she buried her head down, opened and closed her lips, and after a while, slowly uttered a sentence: "The reason for killing Mrs. Chu, I... have already said..."

"Aside from that, is there no other reason?"

"No." Lu Mengping said with certainty.

Her emotions seemed to have finally calmed down, and she looked up at Xin Sheng again.

In the end, no matter how Xin Sheng asked, she just shook her head.

Visit outside the prison.

Xin Yu stood in the corridor, waiting for his father to come out of the gap, he chatted with two prison guards.

He didn't deliberately inquire about anything, but just cared about Lu Mengping's life in prison, and asked them to take care of her by the way.

After all, Lu Mengping has stayed in Xin's family for more than 20 years, even a stranger would feel some affection, not to mention she is also Xin Bao'e's biological mother.

The current Bao'e is a little disappointing, but she is still his sister in name.

Hearing the steady footsteps behind him, Xin Yu stopped talking with the prison guard.

Turning around, looking at the tall man, "Father."

"Let's go." Xin Sheng said two words with a serious expression, and walked in front first.

Xin Yu naturally followed behind, looking at his father's back, thinking about his father's face just now, and frowned slightly.

He quickened his pace and walked side by side with Xin Sheng.

"Father, did Aunt Ping say anything?"

"No."

There was no trace of emotion on Xin Sheng's face, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and he strode towards the prison gate.

Father must be in a bad mood now... Xin Yu speculated in his heart and didn't ask any more questions.

The father and son maintained such a quiet atmosphere all the way.

Until the moment he stepped out of the prison gate, Xin Sheng's footsteps stopped suddenly.

"Xin Yu."

"Yes."

Unexpectedly being called by name, Xin Yu quickly stopped and looked over in confusion, "Father?"

Xin Sheng looked at the sky above his head, it was dark and chaotic, as if a storm was brewing.

His cold and sharp eyes showed a rare hesitation at this moment.

He sighed indistinctly, and said slowly, "Tell me, when did Bao'e get in touch with the Yan family? Does Mrs. Chu's matter have anything to do with her?"

Xin Yu didn't dare to answer these two questions casually, because he didn't have any relevant clues in his hand.

It's just that the father seems to be very concerned about this?Or...worry?

Bao'e, after all, is the daughter of the Xin family.

After a short thought, Xin Yu replied hesitantly: "It should, no."

Xin Sheng spit out two words faintly, "I hope."

"Father, don't think too much." Xin Yu gave a rare relief.

His father has always been strict, and he has always been serious, making it difficult for people to see through his thoughts.But at this moment, Xin Yu really felt that his father was worrying about Bao'e.

He thought for a while and said, "Haven't you already decided to send Bao'e to the sideline? That place will definitely bring her new growth. I think she will understand your painstaking efforts."

He almost said "the past is the past".

Father is a very serious and stubborn person, everything must be counted clearly, public and private are clearly distinguished, if this sentence comes out of his own mouth, he will definitely be reprimanded.

Xin Yu's words, Xin Cheng only responded with a faint "hmm".

"Let's go." He continued to walk towards the car.

Xin Yu followed.

As soon as the driver started the car, the phone rang in the car.

Xin Yu took out his cell phone.

Xin Sheng, who was sitting next to him, took a glance and recognized the caller number on the screen.

"The Lord's Mansion?" He raised his dull tone slightly.

When Xin Yu heard this, a look of surprise crossed his face.

The phone number of the Lord's Mansion, instead of calling my father, why did I call myself instead?

But he quickly regained his composure, and under Xin Sheng's gaze, he picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone.

The call was short and ended soon.

The father and son sat in the back seat of the car, trying to figure out the purpose of the call.

Xin Sheng narrowed his hawk-like eyes, "Why does Gong Shouze suddenly have the leisure to invite you to drink tea?"

"Yes."

Xin Yu couldn't figure it out either.

But they all knew that Gong Shouze's intention was definitely not as simple as drinking tea.

He was still thinking, so he heard Xin Sheng order the driver, "Old Zhou, go to the Lord's Mansion."

"Father?" Xin Yu looked at him in surprise, "Are you going too?"

"Ok!"

Xin Yu was only arrested and taken to the Lord's Mansion last time. Because his father was worried about his son, Xin Sheng was worried about him going alone.

"But--"

After weighing the matter, Xin Yu said cautiously: "The Lord's Mansion deliberately bypassed you and informed me directly, didn't they just want you to be there?"

He paused, and continued: "Father, just let me go alone, no matter what the Gong family plans, my son can handle it."

Xin Cheng stared at him solemnly, and after a while, a faint look of relief appeared on his face.

He changed his mouth and said, "I'll take you there."

Xin Yu did not refuse.

In the Palace of the Lord.

Qin Shu and Chu Linshen accepted Gong Shouze's commendation in the reception hall.

Qin Shu got a silk banner embroidered with "Benevolence and Kindness".

It is not uncommon to send a pennant, but this is a pennant sent by the majestic lord of a country, which is very meaningful and precious.

Every word on it was written by Gong Shouze himself, and then processed by skilled craftsmen with gold weaving techniques. Every gold thread on it is real gold.

Such a "heavy" pennant was framed with rosewood, and it was a bit laborious for the two guards to carry it.

This honor from the royal family is to be taken back and hung on the wall.

To Qin Shu, it didn't really mean much, and he would worry that it would fall and hit his head from time to time.

In contrast, the reward Chu Linchen received was more special and more direct——

It's a royal appointment.

Gong Shouze actually wanted to use the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for Chu Linchen to serve the royal family.

Everyone knows that the current chairman of the chamber of commerce is Zhang Chengming, and Zhang Chengming's status in the business circle of Kyoto is undoubtedly the number one.

Even if Gong Shouze used the power of the royal family to help Chu Linchen replace him, would those merchants whose interests were tied to each other accept it?

In short, it is not that simple.

Qin Shu clearly felt Chu Linchen's embarrassment.

This letter of appointment is simply a hot potato.

Fortunately, Gong Shouze did not ask Chu Linchen to give an answer immediately.

He said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I value your talent very much. In my opinion, only you can take on this great responsibility. I solemnly assure you that this letter of appointment will be valid for a long time. After you think it over, you can tell me at any time. I make your decision."

Chu Linshen accepted the letter of appointment neither humble nor overbearing, nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord."

His stern and dignified face showed no thought.

Gong Shouze is full of confidence in this. Any ambitious entrepreneur will not refuse the opportunity to climb up.

The young man in front of him was no exception.

At this time, Qiu Bing walked in and stood silently beside Gong Shouze.

Gong Shouze understood, and said to Chu Linchen, "That's it for today."

Then he turned to Qin Shu and said, "Vice President Yuan, I still have something to talk to you alone."
