Chapter 182: All Rotten Peach Blossoms
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Wei Ting heard that Su Meng had gone to a remote mountain village, he was worried. He wanted to visit her himself, but his physical condition was too poor.
Zhu Xun risked the risk of being blamed and stopped Wei Ting. After he made sure that he could complete the mission, Wei Ting gave up the idea of leaving the hospital.
Zhu Xun was not polite at all. Lu Bai stood to the side and did not say anything.
“Thank you for his kindness, but I don’t need it.” After Su Meng said that, she turned around and asked Lu Bai, “Do you have anything else? If not, I’ll go back to the shop.”
“I don’t have anything else for the time being, but if you encounter any problems, you can come and look for me. I’ll do my best to help.” Lu Bai’s tone was serious.
After Su Meng heard that, she revealed a polite smile. “Thank you, but there’s no need for it at the moment. Since you guys don’t have anything else to do, please go ahead. I’m going into the shop.”
Su Meng ignored the two of them and entered the shop with Shen Jian.
Shen Jian looked very excited. As soon as he walked into the shop, he smiled and said, “Boss, your peach blossoms have bloomed. You have an ex-husband and a future boyfriend. You’re too prosperous.”
These words might make others happy, but when it came to Su Meng, she would only find it troublesome.
Hence, she quickly denied it. “Don’t. The peach blossom is too smelly. I don’t like it.”
She had already experienced the fate of being killed by rotten peach blossoms. She didn’t want to repeat it again.
Moreover, she wasn’t familiar with Lu Bai. They had only met twice, and he was already courting girls. This kind of thing didn’t need to be thought out to be reliable.
Could it be love at first sight?
Su Meng never thought that she was some peerless beauty. At most, she could be considered average-looking, because there were indeed people around her who had praised her appearance.
Su Meng thought, perhaps her looks just happened to be the type that Lu Bai liked? So he fell in love with her at first sight, fell in love at second sight, wanted her to be his girlfriend at third sight, and even thought of getting married?
However, when she thought of this, Su Meng immediately denied her thoughts. The so-called falling in love at first sight was just acting like a hooligan. She couldn’t believe it. Lu Bai’s words were just a joke.
Su Meng didn’t think about anything else. She knew that Guo Xiang was worried about Hong Si, so she quickly told him that Hong Si was fine. She also told Guo Xiang about what happened in Hong Si village.
The shop was very calm, but there was a faint smell of gunpowder outside the shop. Zhu Xun and Lu Bai hadn’t left yet.
“President Wei, a man named Lu Bai is pursuing Young Madam…”
After Su Meng entered the room, Zhu Xun took out his phone and made a call to Wei Ting, reporting what had just happened.
Lu Bai, who did not avoid speaking to Su Meng at all, was directly pointed out by name.
Lu Bai: “…”
Zhu Xun really knew how to talk. He made it sound like he knew everything. He had already said that he would wait for Su Meng to successfully divorce before formally pursuing her.
“Yes, yes, okay…” It was unknown what Wei Ting said on the other end of the phone. Zhu Xun’s eyes were fixed on Lu Bai, and he nodded his head from time to time in agreement.
Lu Bai was inexplicably flustered by Zhu Xun’s gaze. He had never been afraid of a face-to-face duel, but the way Zhu Xun was acting right now made him feel awkward.
Zhu Xun hung up the phone after speaking for a while. His eyes were filled with provocation as he looked at Lu Bai.
“Mr. Lu, it seems that you have been a bit carefree recently.” Lu Bai’s phone rang as soon as Zhu Xun finished speaking.
At first, Lu Bai looked relaxed. However, when he heard the words on the other end of the phone, his expression immediately turned serious. He gave Zhu Xun a deep look, then turned around and got into his car to leave.
There was a task at the police station that he needed to go back and handle. His superior said that it was related to him and wanted him to go back immediately.
Zhu Xun watched Lu Bai’s car leave with a smile on his face. Then, he turned around and walked into the antique shop.
Su Meng was talking to Guo Xiang about Hong Si when she saw that Zhu Xun did not leave. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why haven’t you left yet?” She really did not have a good impression of Wei Ting and the people around him. It was already her greatest tolerance not to chase him away.
“Young Madam, President Wei said that you should have something that you need his help with, if there’s anything, feel free to mention it. After all, you helped him before this.” Zhu Xun no longer had that arrogant aura when he spoke to Su Meng.
When Zhu Xun spoke, the bluetooth earpiece that he wore on his ear flickered, but Su Meng did not notice it.
When Su Meng heard this, she finally understood.
Wei Ting had asked Zhu Xun to look for her. So it turned out that they wanted to cut ties with her as soon as possible so that she would not use this matter to threaten him in the future.

No wonder he had to send over an assistant from the hospital. It was really a good plan. As expected of someone who had become the person in charge of the company at such a young age.
