This time, Lu Jinnian only said a single word . He didn't hold back or hesitate, and gave a simple, "Yes . "
Qiao Anhao really hoped that Lu Jinnian would reply negatively to her every question . As long as he denied it, she would have disregarded everything she had heard Xu Jiamu say at the door and believed him unconditionally . As long as he denied it, even if all the news outlets reported that he bough up the Xu Enterprise, she could still act ignorant . However, as things turned out, he admitted to all three of her accusations . He even looked calm, as though the things he'd done were right .
She knew that someone was working behind the scenes to sabotage the Xu Enterprise, but she had never imagined it would be Lu Jinnian .
She didn't know a lot about him, only that he was an illegitimate son of the Xu family, but he had never lived with them . He grew up with his own mother, and Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu didn't seem to like him at all .
Though he was a child of the Xu family, she didn't know why he couldn't take control of Xu Enterprise . He and Xu Jiamu were always close, and he managed his own company quite well, so how could he suddenly steal Xu Jiamu's assets without warning . . .
She still clearly remembered the night she found out about Xu Enterprise being in trouble . She had even mentioned it to him . At the time, he was calm and composed, so much so that when she asked him to show Xu Jiamu he cared, and he didn't hesitate to said "All right" .
At that instant, Qiao Anhao felt like she couldn't read Lu Jinnian . She instinctively muttered her questions . "Why? Why did you do it?"
The office remained quiet for a long time . Lu Jinnian observed Qiao Anhao's expression for a long time, and couldn't quite tell what she was thinking . Right now, he didn't have the evidence with him . He wasn't absolutely sure that if he explained it now, she would trust him, but he still opened his mouth, "Qiao Qiao . . . "
When Lu Jinnian called Qiao Anhao's name, he took of the tone of her last words, the way she was questioning him . He slightly lowered his eyelids to mask the sorrow in his heart . Even though he already knew that she'd have questions when she found out, but when the time came for her questions, it still hurt him .
Lu Jinnian gulped . He forced himself to stop caring so much and continued to speak in a deep voice . "I only did this because our . . . "
At the same time, Qiao Anhao had become agitated, and she said in a slightly trembling, somber voice, "Lu Jinnian, for you to do these kind of things . . . If it were brother Jiamu, he definitely wouldn't have treated you . . . "
When someone faces a situation that's difficult to accept or believe, it's hard not to confuse themselves . In that moment, Qiao Anhao felt completely defeated by Lu Jinnian's admittance . She had no idea that the words she unknowingly just said . . . how she heartlessly compared the two, was practically killing Lu Jinnian .
Lu Jinnian's following words seemed to completely disappear from his mouth . His stare into Qiao Anhao's eyes became more complicated .
For Xu Jiamu to experience this, get angry and not believe him, that he could understand .
For her to hear Xu Jiamu's words and not believe him, he could tolerate .
All because he knew in his heart that he had to back down to be able to shatter the beautiful facade of Han Ruchu in their hearts .
But for her to compare him to Xu Jiamu and wholeheartedly believe that Xu Jiamu would never do such a thing, without even considering that that he might have had a good reason for everything he'd done . . .
So in her heart, all along, he was never as good as Xu Jiamu . After doing all of this, how could he take that? How could he take that!
