Chapter 618 - 601 Minor Issues
Lu Jiaguang had been in meetings all day, and when he got home, he went directly to his room to rest. Wang Xiaojie had planned to talk to him about Lu Hongjun, but seeing him like this, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.
The next morning, after the children had breakfast and left for school, Lu Jiaguang was getting ready to go to work. Wang Xiaojie stopped him, saying she had something to discuss.
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Jiaguang was puzzled. Once in the study, he asked, "What’s the matter? Why didn’t you tell me last night?"
Knowing his tendency to worry, Wang Xiaojie said, "If I tell you, you’ll worry all night and won’t sleep. I kept it from you so you could have a good night’s sleep."
For something to keep him awake all night, it must be serious. Lu Jiaguang asked gravely, "What’s happened?"
Wang Xiaojie recounted word for word what was said about Lu Jiaguang: "Third Uncle retired five years ago, and it wasn’t an honorable retirement. His old colleague was arrested, and no matter what, he shouldn’t have appealed to Third Uncle. But he did, and after the call last night, his expression was very distressed, and even his gait seemed heavy."
After finishing, she frowned and said, "That old colleague of Third Uncle must be a leader; otherwise, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t have gathered enough money to buy a big house."
If it weren’t for Jiaxin’s antique store requiring their assistance, their family wouldn’t be living in a big house. Frankly speaking, even if he did embezzle money, they’d only dare to hide it rather than spend it; otherwise, if the house is bought, next thing you know, the head of the house is jailed.
Lu Jiaguang felt a jolt in his heart. The origin of the old items Lu Hongjun bought was murky, and now with an old colleague caught and seeking help, a sense of unease welled up inside him.
Seeing him ready to leave with a grave expression, Wang Xiaojie quickly stopped him: "Jiaguang, that woman and Third Uncle are not aligned. Whatever happens, it should be discussed at home. Otherwise, if she hears, trouble will emerge from nothing."
