Mu Binglan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning several times without falling asleep. She turned sideways, and through the moonlight, she could see Luo Chen lying on the sofa not far away, who was not asleep either.
So Mu Binglan asked Luo Chen curiously.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
After Luo Chen heard this, he felt bitter in his heart and couldn't express it.
There was no way he could tell Mu Binglan that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see those weird scenes that would make him unable to sleep at all.
In order not to worry Mu Binglan, Luo Chen just said that he was not too sleepy and would fall asleep later. Mu Binglan did not ask any more questions.
It wasn't until midnight that Luo Chen made sure Mu Binglan was asleep before he got up secretly.
He tried hard many times, and every time before closing his eyes, he tried not to think about anything, but the nightmare in his subconscious seemed to be more active at night than during the day, and could easily occupy Luo Chen. consciousness.
After repeated attempts to no avail, Luo Chen clearly realized that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
He came to sit on the sofa on the balcony, lit a cigarette, looked out the window at the dark night, and waited quietly for the sun to rise.
After dawn, Luo Chen freshened up and then waited for Mu Binglan to wake up.
Mu Binglan woke up at around seven o'clock. She didn't notice that Luo Chen hadn't slept all night. Instead, as usual, she took Luo Chen to have breakfast after washing up, and then took a special vehicle to the headquarters of Vista Group. .
Luo Chen had nothing to do today, so he could take time to accompany Mu Binglan.
After sending Mu Binglan to Vista headquarters, Luo Chen left temporarily as usual and told Mu Binglan that he would come to pick her up in the evening.
After returning to the Corinthia Hotel, Luo Chen immediately went to Xu Xu's room.
After being cheated so miserably by Xu Xu yesterday, Luo Chen naturally had to lose his temper with her, but Xu Xu didn't take it seriously at all.
"You can't blame me for this. You said yourself that you are not afraid of your wife. Why are you blaming me now?"
When Luo Chen heard this, he was immediately furious.
"I told you not to come to me, but you insisted on coming, and now my wife has seen you. I am not afraid of my wife, but you are destroying the emotional harmony between our husband and wife."
Xu Chen disdainfully curled his lips.
"If your relationship as husband and wife is destroyed so easily, then I advise you to divorce as soon as possible. It seems that your relationship will not last forever. It is better to suffer the pain sooner than later."
Luo Chen almost died after hearing this. He felt that he could no longer coddle Xu Chen like this.
"You damn girl, I found that you are really capable. You are my subordinate and you still dare to talk to me like this. It seems that I won't be able to do it if I don't show some dignity as the boss."
Seeing Luo Chen's serious expression, Xu Xu seemed to be ready to take action. She felt a little guilty and immediately apologized to Luo Chen.
"Boss Luo Chen, I just thought the atmosphere was too depressing. I was just joking, so don't take it seriously. I feel very sorry for your experience, but after all, the matter has passed. We should move on, right? So You sir have a lot of things to do, so don’t hold on to the past anymore.”
Luo Chen glanced at Xu Chen helplessly. He knew that Xu Chen's personality was like this, and he didn't bother to argue with her too much. However, in the end, Luo Chen still emphasized it to her again very solemnly.
"Forget it this time, remember it for me next time. Never come to me directly again. Contact me via text message in advance. If my wife sees it again, not only me, but also you will suffer! Do you hear me clearly? ?!"
After hearing this, Xu Chen nodded repeatedly and said that she heard clearly. At the end, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a bit of joking.
"It seems that you are really a strict wife."
Luo Chen rolled his eyes at Xu Shu.
"What's wrong with the strict wife? I'm also your boss in the strict wife. Show me some respect."
After hearing this, Xu Chen smiled even more happily.
Luo Chen flicked Xu Shu's finger angrily.
"I'll keep my eyes peeled later. It's getting late. Let's go out for a meal together."
Xu Chen heard this and raised his hands in agreement.
…
At noon, Luo Chen took Xu Xu to have a big meal, and in the afternoon he took her to play around in the city. Luo Chen felt that with his kindness and power, Xu Xu would not expose anything to him again.
A moth.
In the evening, Luo Chen took Mu Binglan back to the hotel from Vista's headquarters.
After returning to Corinthia's hotel room, the two sat on the balcony and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window. Luo Chen noticed that it was only after nine o'clock.
"Honey, you seem to have ended earlier today than before."
Mu Binglan's tone sounded a little disappointed.
"Something happened at Andrina's family. She was originally hosting the meeting, but she left early, so we ended the meeting early."
Andrina?
Luo Chen felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he asked Mu Binglan.
"Who is Andrina?"
Mu Binglan took a sip of the red wine in the glass and told Luo Chen.
"It's the girl we met on the plane when we came over. The mother of the girl named Lu Shiqi is a vice president of Vista Group."
When Luo Chen heard this, he immediately slapped his forehead.
"I remembered, it turned out to be her. Why does it sound so familiar to me?"
Finally, Luo Chen continued to ask.
"Andrina, what happened?"
Mu Binglan sighed, seeming to feel very sorry for what happened to Andrina.
"Her daughter, that Lu Shiqi, was said to have been kidnapped this afternoon. After Andrina learned the news, she naturally had no intention of continuing her work and hurried back to investigate the situation."
"Her daughter was kidnapped?!"
Luo Chen was a little surprised, Mu Binglan nodded and continued.
"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of my break tomorrow to visit her. She is the vice president of Vista Group and the representative of this acquisition plan. If I can establish a good relationship with her, it will definitely be very useful.
It was beneficial to our negotiations, but we didn’t expect that something like this would suddenly happen.”
It stands to reason that when Andrina's daughter was kidnapped, there was a high probability that someone was trying to blackmail her. Such a thing is actually not unusual. After all, Andrina is the vice president of a large company, so she is very likely to be targeted.
But in Luo Chen's heart, he had a vague feeling that things were not that simple, so Luo Chen seemed particularly concerned about this matter that should have nothing to do with him.
"Have you found anything? Is it blackmail and kidnapping? Or is there something else?"
Mu Binglan shook her head.
"It is still unclear. Andrina has not received a blackmail letter. It is not yet certain what kind of kidnapping incident it is."
Speaking, Mu Binglan shook her phone.
"I made an appointment with Andrina to see her tomorrow morning."
Luo Chen said knowingly.
"I understand. Wife, do you want to take this opportunity to express condolences to her and get closer to her?"
"That's what I mean, but if something happens to Andrina's daughter, it will definitely have a big impact on her, and she will definitely have no time to take care of these things. At that time, Vesta may replace the acquisition plan
The person in charge. In that case, there won’t be much meaning for us to do this.”
After a pause, Mu Binglan continued.
"If I want to earn a favor from Andrina, I must give her some more substantial help."
After saying that, Mu Binglan turned her eyes to Luo Chen, her eyes full of expectation.
