Chapter 1046 - 1040 I Just Casually Asked
Seeing that Lu Tianxing didn’t intend to continue speaking, Xue Man tactfully didn’t linger on the topic and took a light sip of her tea, saying, "Lu Tianxing, I have a question I want to ask you. I’m not sure if you can give me an honest answer."
"What question?"
Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Man with some confusion.
"Why did Qian Ru suddenly go to Beijing? Did something happen?" Xue Man asked Lu Tianxing in a serious tone.
Lu Tianxing glanced at Xue Man, paused for a moment, and said, "Minister Xue, since you know, why do you still need to ask me?"
"I want to know the real reason."
Lu Tianxing sighed and said, "I offended someone in Beijing. In retaliation, they kidnapped Qian Ru to Beijing to threaten me. But to stabilize the situation at Bai’s Group, we announced externally that Qian Ru was called to Beijing by Zhiqing for assistance."
"Oh, then neither you nor Qian Ru were hurt, right?"
"Minister Xue, do I look like a person who’s been injured?" Lu Tianxing stretched his arms and said with a smile.
"You’re overthinking it. I’m worried about Qian Ru; you’re just incidental," Xue Man rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing and said.
Lu Tianxing chuckled, took a deep breath, and finished his cup of Longjing tea, saying, "Minister Xue, it’s getting late, and we should head back. It’s work time now, and I don’t want to have my pay docked."
Hearing this, Xue Man rolled her eyes and said, "I’m the one who should be worried about getting my pay docked. The entire Bai’s Group is yours now; who dares to dock your pay? They must not want to live."
