"No, it's her mother Xia Nan. I heard that she was in a hurry to sell it and wanted cash, probably to pay off gambling debts. I think there must be a hidden story in this matter. Maybe Lawyer Qiao was forced."
Hearing these words, Lu Wenzhou's eyes felt a little cooler.
He suddenly remembered that on the anniversary day, Joey was wearing this necklace.
She hated Xia Nan so much that there was no way she could give her such a valuable thing.
Unless it's forced.
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and said, "Go to the hotel to adjust the surveillance."
Half an hour later, Lu Wenzhou was sitting in the hotel control room.
After looking for a long time, Xia Nan was not seen.
Just when he wanted to give up, he suddenly saw Joey running towards the stairs in a panic.
She wears this necklace around her neck.
When Joey appeared on the screen again, she was being held by Yan Xingcheng.
Lu Wenzhou immediately asked someone to zoom in on the picture.
Found that the necklace around Joey's neck was missing.
Comparing the two pictures, he had already guessed something.
He looked at the screen with sinister eyes and ordered in a cold voice: "Find Xia Nan for me."
Lu Wenzhou was the powerful prince of the Lu family in City B, so finding someone was no problem.
In less than an hour, Chen Zhuo came over to report.
"Mr. Lu, Xia Nan was captured by Long Wu's people and imprisoned in the base. I heard that Mr. Yan had someone do it and beat her with injuries all over her body."
Hearing these words, Lu Wenzhou's heart tightened suddenly.
Yan Xingcheng was born into a scholarly family, and he would not be so cruel to others unless he made him anxious.
Unless this person has touched his bottom line.
And his bottom line should be Joey.
Lu Wenzhou immediately sent someone to bring Xia Nan over.
Interrogated overnight.
When she saw Lu Wenzhou, Xia Nan seemed to have seen a savior.
Immediately kneel on the ground and kowtow.
"Mr. Lu, Joey has been sleeping with you for so long. I am half your mother-in-law. Please let me go. I will tell you everything."
Lu Wenzhou looked at her with cold eyes: "Say!"
"I invited Joey to the rooftop that day. I threatened her to jump off the building. If she didn't give me money, I would expose the incident of 'Lu Group fired employees for no reason and then jumped off the building'. As long as I posted the post , the media will go to the celebration to cause trouble, Lu's stock will be affected, and you will be accused by the Lu family.
Joey didn't want you to get into trouble and was forced to give me the necklace.
But I can see that she loves you very much and treasures this necklace. She hates me and can ignore me, but for you, she would rather be driven crazy by me and do as I ask.
You didn't see that she was really in pain at the time and was shaking all over. Please forgive me because she loves you so much. I will never dare to do it again. "
Hearing this, Lu Wenzhou felt the smell of blood rising up in his throat.
All he could think about was Joey being cornered by Xia Nan.
But when she was in the most pain and helplessness, he chose to accuse and abandon her regardless of the circumstances.
He vaguely remembered that Joey looked at him with fear in his eyes.
At the time, he mistakenly thought that she was afraid that he had discovered their scandal.
It turned out that she showed fear because she was stimulated by her mother.
The last time they met, he was so scared that she hugged him and wouldn't let go the whole night.
But this time she was threatened with death, and even used his group's reputation as a threat to make her make a choice. How scared was she at that time to cry and tremble like that?
Thinking of this, Lu Wenzhou's heart felt like he had been stabbed with countless knives, and blood was pouring out.
He clenched his fists and looked at Xia Nan with scarlet eyes.
"Throw him into a lunatic asylum and find someone to take good care of him."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
When Joey woke up in the morning, she received a call from her master, saying that his grandson had just retired from the army and was fine at home, so he could come over and be her bodyguard.
Thinking of the recent unrest, Joey readily agreed.
After breakfast, I drove to the airport to pick someone up.
Just as she walked downstairs, she saw a familiar figure.
Lu Wenzhou, dressed in black clothes and black trousers, looked like a god walking out of the dark night, staring at her momentarily.
Joey suddenly remembered what Lu Wenzhou said yesterday.
Let go of the past and start over.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly.
Take the key and head straight to the parking lot.
"Joy."
Lu Wenzhou called her from behind.
Joey paused and slowly turned to look at Lu Wenzhou's gloomy face.
There was no warmth in his voice: "Is something wrong, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Wenzhou curled his fingertips slightly and said in a low voice: "There is a Sichuan noodle restaurant nearby. They have your favorite pea noodles. I will take you to eat it."
Joey curled his lips and said distantly: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, I've eaten."
"Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."
"No, I have my own car."
She turned around to leave, but Lu Wenzhou hugged her from behind.
The man's chin rested on her shoulder, his hot breath spreading on her neck.
A slightly hoarse voice sounded in her ears.
"Joy, I put Xia Nan in a lunatic asylum. She will never trouble you again."
A wry smile flashed across Joey's eyes.
She knew that Lu Wenzhou should have found out the truth about the night of the banquet.
But what's the use?
When she was in the most pain and helplessness, when she wanted his comfort the most, he chose to abandon her indifferently.
She would never forget this pain, which was more painful than heartbreaking.
Joey stood there quietly, motionless.
There was no ripple in the sound.
"Have you hugged Mr. Lu enough? I have to pick someone up at the airport and I'm already late."
After saying that, she forcefully opened Lu Wenzhou's arm and got into the car without looking back.
Looking at her retreating back, Lu Wenzhou had never felt so disappointed.
Only now did he truly realize that something was quietly slipping away from him.
Just then, he received a call from his grandma.
"Wenzhou, your uncle's grandson Xiaosi came to B City today. He has no place to live here. I think you are quite lonely by yourself. How about letting him come and live with you?"
Lu Wenzhou's already ugly face became even uglier.
He refused without hesitation: "Grandma, I'm not used to living with others. If you want to take care of it, let him live in the old house."
"Aren't you used to living with others? I saw that when Joey lived with you, you didn't even want to go home."
The old lady stabbed his wound unceremoniously.
Lu Wenzhou frowned angrily: "Can it be the same?"
"Why is it different? Joey is your little canary, and Xiaosi is your little wolfdog. They are both pets. You can just keep them as you wish."
The old lady used this trick to kill people with great proficiency.
Lu Wenzhou was so angry that his heart ached suddenly.
He responded angrily: "Give me his phone number and I'll get in touch."
"That's right, but don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't bully him like you did when you were a child. He has grown up, and I heard he has a girl he likes. Let him bring her over one day to see her."
