Chapter 49: My Best Friend Is Engaged, But Not to Him

The top floor of the Lu Corporation, the CEO’s office.

Liu Yiyi，clutching her lunchbox, stood ignored, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the man behind the desk.

Behind the desk, Lu Chengze was rubbing a broken doll in his hand, staring at the phone on the desk, his face grim.

It had been half an hour.

There was still no news from Jian Yao.

After leaving the Lu Corporation, she had disappeared completely.

Lu Chengze took a deep breath and reached out to Wu Yue, who was standing beside him, “Give me your phone.”

He wanted to see if the news hadn’t spread, or if Jian Yao was too proud to even acknowledge him.

Wu Yue was busy helping him contact buyers for cars and houses. He was stunned when he heard Lu Chengze’s request.

He glanced at the phone on the desk.

He thought to himself: Don’t you have a phone?

Why are you asking for mine? Don’t you know that phones are personal?

But under Lu Chengze’s murderous gaze, Wu Yue’s hand moved faster than his brain.

He almost instantly handed his phone to Lu Chengze.

Take it, take it.

Lu Chengze took the phone and opened WeChat without a word.

Wu Yue, a long-time participant in the first line of gossip, had many gossip groups on WeChat.

He just flipped to the business department, and before he could click on it, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

Lu Chengze, already filled with anger, looked up at the door.

When he saw who it was, his eyes narrowed.

Wu Yue’s face also turned unpleasant when he saw the newcomer.

Fu Cheng.

He was not only Lu Chengyuan’s best friend, but also the manager of the finance department.

Lu Chengyuan was Lu Chengze’s biggest competitor in inheriting the family business.

His people coming here at this time was probably not a good thing.

You can’t lose face, no matter what the other party comes for, you have to overpower them with your presence.

Wu Yue was the first to speak, “Did your family never teach you how to knock on the door, Manager Fu?”

Fu Cheng held the document in his hand, not angry at being rebuked, he smiled happily, like a smiling tiger.

“I heard that Mr. Lu was sick because of Director Jian, so I came to see how you are.”

Hearing the words Jian Yao, Wu Yue’s scalp almost exploded.

If Lu Chengze was a powder keg now, then Jian Yao was the match that would ignite it.

Fu Cheng, this bastard, was definitely up to no good.

Lu Chengze’s temples throbbed, and he coldly said, “Now that you’ve seen, can you leave?”

Fu Cheng, not afraid of death, took a few steps forward and looked closely, “You look full of energy, it seems you’re all better.”

He patted his chest in a fake gesture, “Then I’m relieved.”

Then, he handed the document forward.

“This is the project we won in the last bid, please sign it.”

Lu Chengze took the document he handed over.

It was the application for the project funds from the last trip to Shanghai.

One hundred and fifty million.

The compensation payment from the Li family was imminent, where could he get one hundred and fifty million now?

He was the financial manager himself, didn’t he know if the company had enough money?

Lu Chengze closed the document, “I remember this project won’t start for another two months, is it too early to ask for money now?”

Fu Cheng looked innocent, “Isn’t the old man in a hurry? He just called me, and I came right away.”

Lu Chengze and Wu Yue’s faces changed at the same time, looking at Fu Cheng with eyes that could pierce him.

The old man contacted Fu Cheng directly without going through them, he must have known about the Li family incident.

That old man’s heart was always biased, now that he knew they had such a big problem…

The consequences were unimaginable.

Fu Cheng pushed the document in front of Lu Chengze, his tone playful, “Mr. Lu? Sign it?”

This was the first time Lu Chengze had been humiliated in the face since taking over the Lu Corporation.

But he had a justifiable reason and the old man’s support, there was nothing he could do about it.

Lu Chengze gritted his teeth and flipped open the document, picked up the pen and heavily signed his name, threw it in front of Fu Cheng, his face cold as ice, “Take your things and get out!”

Fu Cheng, with his young and handsome face, showed a cold sneer, “Mr. Lu, you should control your temper.”

“Lu Corporation is about to change hands!”

He was sitting pretty, holding onto the second Miss Jian.

But she had to go and mess things up, bringing in a troublemaker…

Fu Cheng clicked his tongue twice, turning to look at Liu Yiyi, who was standing there pale and transparent, and gave her a thumbs-up without hesitation.

These siblings were both talented.

One ruined the marriage between the Jian family and the Lu family, and the other destroyed the cooperation between Lu Chengze and the Li family.

They were both geniuses!

If his company wasn’t too small to handle all this, he would have wanted to recruit them both.

Fu Cheng had already taken a few steps out when he suddenly remembered the Weibo post he had seen and turned back.

He leaned close to Wu Yue’s ear and whispered, “Don’t blame me for not warning you, go check Weibo.”

Your house has been stolen, and you’re still acting proud?

You always cared more about face than anything else.

Suddenly wearing a fever patch and flaunting it, isn’t that just a smokescreen?

Waiting for Jian Yao to change her mind?

If you wait any longer, she’ll have kids who can already run errands!

After saying that, he left with a carefree air.

Wu Yue watched the door close, mumbling, “Check Weibo?”

What does that mean?

He picked up his phone and opened Weibo.

When he looked up again, his entire face was white as paper.

“Lu, Brother Lu…”

“Jian Yao, she’s married.”

That mysterious wife of Gu Zhiyan, it was actually Jian Yao!

Lu Chengze sounded as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

“What? Say that again.”

Who got married?

Jian Yao?

She loved him to death, how could she marry someone else?

Fu Cheng was talking nonsense, why was Wu Yue following him?

Lu Chengze looked completely unconvinced.

Wu Yue opened his mouth wide, not knowing where to start explaining, so he simply turned his phone around and handed it to Lu Chengze.

“It’s true.”

Gu Zhiyan himself had posted a response to that trending topic about Mingzhu, revealing Jian Yao’s identity, posting a photo, and even tagging Jian Yao’s account.

It was even liked, commented on, and reposted by the official Gu Corporation account.

Official announcement!

It couldn’t be more real!

Lu Chengze’s gaze fixed on the picture on the Weibo interface, and he seemed to be frozen in place, taking a long time to recover.

“Impossible.”

Jian Yao hadn’t responded.

It was fake.

Jian Yao knew he didn’t like Gu Zhiyan, how could she be with him?

She always hated everything he disliked.

Seeing that he didn’t believe it, Wu Yue suddenly remembered Xu Si.

She was Jian Yao’s best friend, the kind that even Lu Chengze couldn’t separate them.

Whether this was true or not, asking her would be enough.

Xu Si had blocked his WeChat and phone, so he could only search for her Weibo account and prepare to send her a private message.

But as soon as he opened Xu Si’s Weibo, Wu Yue knew he didn’t need to ask.

He had already seen it.

@Wilful Big Mother Monkey: 【My best friend got engaged, but it wasn’t him, congratulations! Congratulations!】

Not only was the caption extremely sarcastic, but even the picture was a nine-square grid.

Wu Yue held his phone as if it were a burning piece of charcoal.

He didn’t even dare to look at Lu Chengze beside him.
