After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

Chapter 21: Lu's Investigation

Xiang Wanqiao brought the drunk Gu Jingzhan back to the bedroom from the second floor and helped him lie down on the bed.

Just as she covered the man with the quilt and prepared to get up, her wrist was tightly grasped by someone.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Gu Jingzhan opened his lips slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Qiaoqiao, are you going to leave me again?"

He felt extremely insecure and held Xiang Wanqiao's hand tightly, afraid that if he let go, he would never be able to hold it again.

"No," she denied. "I'm not leaving."

The man stared at her with red eyes, his whole body full of brokenness and looking pitiful.

Xiang Wanqiao held his hand and explained softly, "I just want to go into the bathroom and get a wet towel to wipe your face so you can feel more comfortable."

Gu Jingzhan didn't believe it and said quietly, "You lied to me."

Xiang Wanqiao sighed helplessly. Seeing that he was still unwilling to let go, she had no choice but to follow his wishes: "Okay, I won't go. Can I sleep with you?"

Gu Jingzhan nodded, then moved aside to make room for her.

Xiang Wanqiao took off her slippers, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

As soon as she lay down, Gu Jingzhan came over and wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist.

He curled up his tall body and nestled obediently in her arms.

Xiang Wanqiao lowered her eyes and looked at the man in her arms, her gentle eyes filled with deep love.

She placed her soft palm on his head, stroking his hair again and again, coaxing him like a child.

This was the first time she saw Gu Jingzhan drunk, and he looked much more realistic than his usual image.

But the weakness he inadvertently revealed made her feel distressed.

Xiang Wanqiao lowered her head, kissed him on the top of his head, and whispered to him, "Don't worry, I won't leave you again."

Her action made Gu Jingzhan's tense body relax, and his light-colored thin lips raised into a faint smile.

In fact, he had long lost the ability to tell whether this was reality or fantasy.

He only knew that the Qiaoqiao in his dream loved him.

……

the next day.

Lu Siwei drove back to the Lu family from Xiao Xuan'an's riverside villa.

As soon as she entered the company, she heard people whispering.

"The Lu family is in big trouble this time!"

"what happened?"

"Didn't you see just now? People from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Taxation Bureau are here, and they are coming in a threatening manner."

"Is it because the Lu family was exposed for substandard product quality the day before yesterday?"

"There should be more than just this incident, otherwise why would people from the tax bureau come here?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, any company that is included in the audit list by the tax bureau is basically in danger."

Lu Siwei listened to some of it, then took out her cell phone from her bag while walking, wanting to send a WeChat message to find out the situation.

"Mr. Lu!"

The assistant strode towards her, a hint of impatience on his face.

"Boss Lu, something terrible has happened. People from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Taxation Bureau are here."

Lu Siwei frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why are they here?"

The assistant said: "The details are still unclear. They went straight to the chairman's office as soon as they arrived."

Lu Siwei's hands trembled, and she couldn't stop feeling panicky.

It seems that Gu Jingzhan wants to kill them all.

If the people from the tax bureau find out that the Lu family has been evading taxes in recent years, then the Lu family will be finished!

No!

No!

In a panic, Lu Siwei forced herself to calm down and think of countermeasures quickly.

The assistant asked: "Boss Lu, what should we do now?"

"Go and check the situation first."

Lu Siwei took a deep breath and walked to the chairman's office pretending to be calm.

"Hello, we are from the tax bureau. Yesterday we received an anonymous report that your Lu family has been evading taxes for the past three years. We are here to conduct a tax audit on your Lu family."

When Lu Zhixiang heard this, he broke out in a sweat.

He forced a smile and said calmly, "That...comrade from the tax bureau, this is pure slander. Our Lu family has always been law-abiding and is a first-class excellent company. It is impossible for us to do such illegal and criminal things."

"Abiding by the law?" The person from the Industry and Commerce Bureau retorted, "The day before yesterday, your Lu company was exposed for substandard product quality."

Lu Zhixiang swallowed nervously, still holding on, "We are already dealing with the problem of substandard product quality. There is no need to..."

"We received a report and are here to investigate. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Lu Zhixiang couldn't stand it anymore, and finally had to ask his secretary to notify all departments to cooperate with the investigations of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau.

As soon as the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau left Lu Zhixiang's office, Lu Siwei arrived.

She closed the door, drew the curtains, and asked anxiously, "Dad, what's going on? Why are people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Taxation Bureau here?"

Lu Zhixiang was already upset about this matter and was feeling irritated.

When Lu Siwei arrived, he instantly found an outlet for his anger.

Lu Zhixiang raised his hand and slapped her, cursing loudly: "What's going on? You useless thing!"

His strength was so great that Lu Siwei was completely stunned.

Half of her face turned red instantly, with five finger marks clearly imprinted on it.

Lu Siwei's hands hung down to one side, tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and she retorted: "Is this my fault? It was obviously because you didn't handle it cleanly enough that you were caught by others."

"How dare you talk back!"

Lu Zhixiang slapped her again with his backhand, showing absolutely no mercy for her.

Lu Siwei fell directly to the ground, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, and both sides of her face were red.

"I spent so much money to raise you, and now you dare to talk back to me!"

Lu Zhixiang pointed at her angrily and said, "You haven't become the young lady of the Xiao family yet, and Xiao Xuan has not yet gotten rid of the status of an illegitimate child. Don't be so stubborn here."

"If you hadn't been useless and couldn't hook up with Gu Jingzhan, we wouldn't have ended up like this. I'm warning you, find a way to solve these problems for me right now. If I go to jail, your life won't be easy either!"

Lu Siwei endured the pain on her face and the humiliation in her heart, and replied softly: "I know, I will find a way to solve it."

"roll!"

Lu Zhixiang didn't even want to look at her any more and just turned his back.

Lu Siwei's hands, which were supporting her on the ground, slowly clenched into fists, her eyes filled with hatred.

Lu Zhixiang, just wait for me!

I will never forget the suffering and humiliation I have endured at your place over the years.

One day, I will make you kneel down and beg me!

She glared at Lu Zhixiang's back fiercely, slowly got up from the ground, and then walked out of his office.
