The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 737 The Apologizers (Lu Jingchuan & Yan Liluo)

In the past year, his life has undergone earth-shattering changes. Before, he was extravagant and everyone respected him. Now, he is like Wuming, and even though he bears the Lu family name, he is not as glorious as before.

He used to think that he would just take it one day at a time and let whoever wanted to improve themselves do so. But after all this time, he gradually realized that without the identity of the young master of the Lu family, he would have a hard time even making a living if he didn't strive for improvement.

Zuo Meng said that Lu Jingchuan was waiting outside the office to see him, but Lu Jingshen did not instruct Zuo Meng whether to call Lu Jingchuan into the office.

As Lu Jingshen walked out of the office, he didn't see anyone standing at the door. Instead, he told Zuo Meng that his work for the day was over and he was going home.

Lu Jingshen ignored him as if he were invisible, and Lu Jingchuan didn't care. He silently followed Lu Jingshen into the elevator.

Lu Jingchuan stepped into the elevator, while Lu Jingshen remained silent as he walked out.

He had thought Lu Jingshen would tell him to get out of the elevator, but to his surprise, Lu Jingshen turned around and walked towards the other elevator.

His reluctance to ride the elevator together was exactly what he expected. Lu Jingchuan didn't go out; he decided to take the elevator downstairs first.

Lu Jingchuan took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, but when he arrived, he discovered that Lu Jingshen had not come to the parking lot at all.

Lu Jingshen said he had finished get off work and should have gone home, but Lu Jingchuan went straight to Jingyuan, only to be stopped by the security guard at the gate.

"Look carefully at who I am. Why won't you let me in?"

"Look carefully, Mr. Lu just instructed that you are not allowed to enter." The gatekeeper also took out the notification information given by Lu Jingshen, along with a photo of Lu Jingchuan's face.

"..."

"Call him and say, 'I'm here to apologize!'"

The security guard contacted Lu Jingshen and forwarded Lu Jingchuan's message. After hanging up, the guard said, "Please go back."

"What did he say?" Lu Jingchuan couldn't believe his ears. He had clearly stated that he was there to apologize, so how could he still be barred from entering?

The security guard could only reply with his original words, "It's too late to apologize now."

"..."

Lu Jingshen is always a man of his word. He had been given the opportunity to apologize before, but he ignored it at the time.

Lu Jingchuan drove the car out of Jingyuan and stopped at the intersection to call Lin Jiaran, but the call went unanswered.

Lin Jiaran had already received Lu Jingshen's orders that she should not answer Lu Jingchuan's calls in the next few days, as they involved Lu Jingchuan and to avoid any misunderstandings. Lin Jiaran naturally complied.

Just as Lu Jingchuan was thinking about how to meet with Lu Jingshen to apologize and get his forgiveness, he saw Lu Jingshen's car drive back.

Lu Jingchuan quickly turned his car around and followed, but he was still a step too late. Lu Jingshen's car drove into the park, while his car was stopped outside.

Today ended in failure.

The next day, Lu Jingchuan arrived at Shengshi as usual, but instead of going to Lu Jingshen's office, he took the elevator to the top floor and then walked from the top floor to the rooftop terrace.

Lu Jingchuan stood on the edge of the rooftop with his phone, took a picture, posted it in the work group, and tagged Lu Jingshen's WeChat work account. If Lu Jingshen didn't come today, he would jump off and end it all.

Lu Jingshen's WeChat work account is managed by himself and also by Zuo Meng. Usually, Zuo Meng is in charge of this account.

Although no one dared to pay attention to Lu Jingchuan's message, it caused quite a stir in the company, and Zuo Meng was shocked when he saw it.

Lu Jingshen was having dinner at home when Zuo Meng hurriedly called to report that Lu Jingchuan was about to jump off a building at the company.

"Let him jump," Lu Jingshen replied with only four words.

Upon hearing the reply, Zuo Meng was so shocked that his eyes almost couldn't move. He was told to jump? Had he heard correctly? Shouldn't he be trying to persuade him to stop?

"What if he really jumps? You should go and check on him," Lin Jiaran advised after hearing Zuo Meng say on the phone.

Lu Jingshen calmly ate his breakfast. Lu Jingchuan would never jump off the building; he was just threatening him. He knew what Lu Jingchuan was up to.

"Let's talk about it after he's made a scene."

At this point, he couldn't be too hasty, otherwise he wouldn't achieve the effect he needed. What he needed to do now was to ignore it, making Lu Jingchuan think that the apology was useless, but he still had to insist on apologizing.

"Wasn't the last incident enough? What if he actually jumps this time?"

"No, if he could jump, he wouldn't be Lu Jingchuan."

Lu Jingchuan had teased him like this countless times since they were children, so Lu Jingshen was used to it.

When Zuo Meng arrived at the rooftop, he didn't dare to relay Lu Jingchuan's exact words. Instead, he earnestly advised Lu Jingchuan to come down quickly, and even coaxed him by saying that Lu Jingshen was already on his way.

Usually, when he threatened to kill himself, Lu Jingshen would ignore him, telling him to go ahead and die if he dared, and advising him not to jump. Lu Jingshen would never say that so directly.

Lu Jingchuan immediately understood from Zuo Meng's few words that none of this was what Lu Jingshen meant. "Did he want me to jump?"

"...You'd better come down quickly."

Lu Jingchuan simply sat on the edge of the rooftop, and Zuo Meng was so frightened by his actions that he almost had a heart attack.

Zuo Meng quickly called Lu Jingshen again. Lu Jingshen told him to turn up the volume on his phone. Zuo Meng thought Lu Jingshen wanted to give him a warning, so he turned on speakerphone.

"Notify the public relations department to control public opinion and be prepared to clarify the matter of Lu Jingchuan's suicide at any time. The public relations message should uniformly state that it was caused by depression. Everyone who receives the message in the group should sign a secret agreement."

"..."

Lu Jingshen even prepared public relations for the aftermath of his suicide attempt.

Zuo Meng was at a loss for what to do when Lu Jingchuan suddenly stood up, startling Zuo Meng so much that he dropped his phone.

Lu Jingchuan finally came down from the rooftop. Only after seeing that he had come down from the rooftop unharmed did Zuo Meng dare to breathe loudly.

After coming down from the rooftop, Lu Jingchuan went to Lu Jingshen's office and decided to stay there.

"President Lu isn't coming to the company today," Zuo Meng explained to Lu Jingchuan. It was Friday, and Lu Jingshen never came to Shengshi.

"If he doesn't come today, he will come someday. I'll wait for him here."

"If you're going to wait here, you'll probably have to wait until next month."

Zuo Meng also retrieved the work attendance log, which was recorded monthly. The log contained records of Lu Jingshen's visits to the company over the past few months, no more than four times. On average, he only appeared at the company one day a week, and sometimes he didn't even come to the company for a whole week.

"Does he really have this much leisure time every day?"

"President Lu is actually very busy. He has to manage more than just Shengshi now."

"If he's not coming here today, where would he go?"

"It's hard to guess. He might have gone to another branch office, or he might have gone to Jincheng. If we follow his work schedule after the wedding, he won't be handling any work today, which is Friday. I have no idea where he might be."

"President Lu just returned from Jincheng the day before yesterday, so he shouldn't be in Jincheng today."

Based on Zuo Meng's guess, Lu Jingchuan left Shengshi and inquired everywhere whether Lu Jingshen had gone to a certain branch office, but he hadn't. So he came to Jingyuan. After learning from the lesson of being intercepted while driving to receive goods last time, Lu Jingchuan parked his car at the gate and walked towards the guardhouse.

The gatekeeper didn't know Lu Jingchuan's identity, only that he couldn't enter. "Sir, why are you here again? It's the same today, you still can't enter."

Lu Jingchuan patrolled the area until he reached the guardhouse. He could enter once he jumped over the fence gate of the pedestrian walkway.

Every move at the entrance was under Lu Jingshen's surveillance. As Lu Jingchuan was patrolling around, the gatekeeper received a call from Lu Jingshen.

While the gatekeeper was on the phone, Lu Jingchuan decisively jumped over the hurdle and rushed into the gate. Seeing this, several gatekeepers rushed to chase after Lu Jingchuan, and the security alarm sounded in the park in an instant.

Lu Jingchuan's forced entry was immediately reported to Lu Jingshen, the security alarm was canceled, and Lu Jingshen stood at the intersection in front of the villa waiting. Lu Jingchuan met him as soon as he arrived.

"If you were threatening to jump off a building, why didn't you jump?"

Lu Jingchuan stood there for a while without saying a word.

"Mute?"

"I'll wait until you've said enough." A humble tone.

"Get him out of here," Lu Jingshen said, looking at the security personnel who were running behind Lu Jingchuan.

The group of men carrying defensive equipment made a move to step forward.

“I have your important secret. If you force me out, I will tell Lin Jiaran. If she finds out, you two will definitely get a divorce.”

Lu Jingchuan thought his words would be effective, but Lu Jingshen completely disregarded his threats. In the end, Lu Jingchuan was naturally kicked out without hesitation.
