Chapter 338 Lu Jinye is Married! That Scumbag!

Lu Jinye also knew that Mu Zhi did not work in Xie Xiu’s company in the past few days. A week later, Lu Jinye could not stand it anymore. What happened to Mu Zhi?

He gave Linda an assignment to investigate into the new employee list and see which company had employed Mu Zhi. Linda went to investigate.

Five minutes later, Linda knocked on Lu Jinye’s door and said, “Mr. Lu, I have found it.”

Lu Jinye’s eyes were restrained as he looked at Linda and said, “Tell me.”

Linda looked at Lu Jinye and stood straight before reporting her findings, “She is at DW Media and is responsible for coordinating with clients on circulation of advertisement.

Lu Jinye lowered his eyes in thoughts.

DW Media… He had considered it a second-tier company.

There was nothing noteworthy about it. Lu Jinye remembered that he had invested some capital into this company but did not care about it after that.

A small company such as this could not generate much profit, so he was not interested in it.

However… Since Mu Zhi was there, he had to know about it.

…

After Mu Zhi had found a job, it took a whole day for her to get through the interview and start work.

Then for the next three days, she familiarized herself with the company’s workings and did work within her abilities.

In other words… She had never worked before and was happy after coming to the company.

She had never felt more alive.

For the past few days, Mu Zhi could have meals with her colleagues and her colleagues were also very friendly. It brought more brightness to her usually dull days.

On her fourth day of work, something felt different the moment she had entered the office.

Mu Zhi looked at her colleague curiously and realized that all of her female colleagues were excited about something.

Mu Zhi observed them curiously and heard one of them said, “His figure is better than any male models, and he is more handsome than movie stars.”

Mu Zhi wondered if an A-list celebrity had come to the company.

At that moment, another colleague said, “He’s handsome, so what? You all don’t stand a chance!”

That annoyed another colleague.

“Why don’t we stand a chance? You speak as if you know some inside story.”

“Haven’t you all seen how loving he and his wife were? Yet now you are all coveting after a married man.”

“So what, I am willing to be his lover.”

Someone retorted, refusing to back down.

Mu Zhi was completely confused by her colleagues’ gossip… Who had come to the company and caused such commotion among the women.

Mu Zhi hurried over and asked, “Who is here?”

“Mr. Lu, he had invested in our company, but he had never come here in person. After three years, we finally get to see him!”

Mr. Lu…

Mu Zhi was petrified for a moment.

She did not understand how common the surname was in that city.

The only Mr. Lu she knew was Lu Jinye.

Who is this Mr. Lu?

Just as she was about to ask, she heard someone say, “Sigh, such a shame. Why did Mr. Lu have to marry Xiao Qingqing? Why can’t he just be single and give us some hope?”

“What hope? I think you are just daydreaming.”

“Stop dreaming. Lu Jinye is neither yours nor mine. We should get back to work.”

The women reluctantly ended their conversation.

With that, Mu Zhi had finally understood!

She felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she stood still in shock!

What? This company is invested by Lu Jinye?

Why is it so hard to stay away from him?

How could I not know this?

Moreover… Why were they talking about Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing’s marriage?

“Do you all feel that there hasn’t been any news of Mr. Lu and Xiao Qingqing attending a banquet together for a long time?”

“Are they divorced?”

“Xiao Qingqing is a big star, there would have been news if they divorced.”

Her colleagues started discussing, each person took a mug of coffee and was engrossed with the discussion.

Mu Zhi was even more confused as she listened to them.

She went to a colleague and asked, “Didn’t Lu Jinye’s wife pass away? Why is everyone talking about a divorce?”

At her question, everyone nearly spat out their coffee.

They all looked at her as if she was from another planet.

“Did you not have the internet at home? Mr. Lu’s wife is Xiao Qingqing. She is a big movie star, how could she have died. That Mu Zhi from years ago was just rumored to be his wife, there was an uproar about her, but they did not seem to be married. After that, she died suddenly.”

“Who could understand the grudges of the rich and famous?”

A few people were exchanging gossips again.

As they were talking, one of them suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Zhi.

“Eh? You do look like the woman who was previously rumored to be involved with Lu Jinye.”

“Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing?” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Mu Zhi asked based on what she had learned.

Then she rushed to search the web for news of them.

The search results were all tabloid news. All the photographs showed Lu Jinye and Xiao Qingqing holding hands, appearing very much in love.

The most recent news was as early as a month ago.

Looking at the date, Mu Zhi wanted to throttle Lu Jinye!

A month ago, Lu Jinye had kissed her forcefully. At the time, he had even lied to her about how much he loved his late wife.

Yet now, it turned out he had a wife.

Furthermore… His wife was gorgeous!

How could he fabricate such tales?

Mu Zhi looked at the photographs. As the women beside her were gushing about Lu Jinye’s good looks, Mu Zhi couldn’t help spitting out a warning.

“I suggest that you all don’t be tricked by the image Lu Jinye had crafted. Lu Jinye is not who you think.”

“You know him?”

Mu Zhi looked at her and decided to reveal what she knew about him. She wanted to prevent him from ensnaring another innocent young woman.

So, she explained to her colleague, “Of course I do! Previously Lu Jinye had gone on a trip with my close friend. He stayed in a motel with her, using the excuse of waiting out the rain. In actuality, he wanted to have an affair.”

“His previous wife had passed away. He likes to tell women that they looked like his late wife to earn their sympathy. He had nearly gotten his way a few times.”

Mu Zhi sounded very believable.

Her colleagues who were listening to her all seemed to believe her.

“So, all of you should not fall for his trick. This scumbag is especially disgusting.”

Mu Zhi reminded them.

“Mr. Lu, I will fire this employee now.”

The general manager said immediately. He had overheard Mu Zhi’s story as he accompanied Lu Jinye on a tour of the company.

However, Lu Jinye was staring unwaveringly at Mu Zhi with a wry smile.
