I Became the Billionaire s Target After Pulling Out From My Marriage

Eight Years of Blankness

“You haven’t eaten much. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? There’s even soup specially made for you in the kitchen…” Her stepmother stood up half-jokingly to persuade him to stay, but Lu Yunxiao didn’t even turn around.

“I wonder who his temper is like! He’s getting more and more overboard! Does he still care about our family? To think that you worked all afternoon for this meal.” Chairman Lu put down his chopsticks and was no longer in the mood to eat.

“Don’t be angry, Hubby. No matter what, Yunxiao is still a child. Why would I lower myself to his level? As his elder, I’ll tolerate him as much as I can. It’s fine. After all, he’s our only child. Besides, if I don’t treat him well, how am I going to explain it to Sister when I go down there in the future?” Du Meihong coaxed Lu Guo’an gently. His gloomy expression gradually improved. It was obvious that he enjoyed it.

Lu Yunxiao left the villa and got into the car. In the dark car, Lu Yunxiao lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

“Let’s go, Uncle Wang.”

“Okay, where are we going?”

“Deer’s Cry Hot Springs.”

“Yes.”

It was not because Lu Yunxiao liked to soak in the hot spring, but because this place was run by his good friend, Wang Jiangbei. Hence, they often drank and talked here during their free time.

“Young Master, there’s already news about Miss Jiang.” The driver, Uncle Wang, whose sideburns had already turned slightly white, was respectful.

“Yes, tell me.” Lu Yunxiao leaned back in his chair lazily. The cigarette between his fingers was already half gone.

“Miss Jiang studied in Ocean City’s No. 1 Primary School before she was 10 years old. Her results were top in the class, and she had a good relationship with her classmates. There were basically no special circumstances. After she turned 18, she returned from studying abroad and studied for a doctorate at Ocean City University. However, she almost didn’t go to class. Instead, she often went out to play alone. Every time she went out, it would take at least half a month and she almost didn’t stay in Ocean City permanently. Hence, her relationship with Xu Yuning seemed to be average.”

“What about the eight years she studied abroad?” Lu Yunxiao was resting with his eyes closed, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

“This is also what I want to tell you. Miss Jiang’s experience in the past eight years is completely blank. I can’t find anything.”

“You can’t find anything?” He slowly opened his eyes, and a meaningful look flashed across his dark eyes.

“Yes, we only know that she studied in G City in America. She studied at Stanford in university and biology. But we can’t find out where she lived in the past eight years, who she usually interacted with, or what school she attended in junior high school. I feel that someone deliberately erased all traces of her for the past eight years, or perhaps Miss Jiang erased them herself.”

Lu Yunxiao was silent for a moment. He looked at the flashing neon lights outside the window for a long time before saying, “What an interesting girl.”

“If you want to continue investigating, I’ll get our people to dig deeper. We might find something.”

“There’s no need to. I don’t want to alert the enemy. However, there’s one thing I’m sure of.”

“You mean…”

“As her boyfriend, Xu Yuning definitely doesn’t know her true colors.”

The black Cullinan shuttled through the night sky of Ocean City, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Ever since Lu Yunxiao took over the family business, almost no one had seen his face even though he had been on the richest list for a few years in a row. He was such a mysterious and low-key existence. However, what he did not expect was that his peaceful life was actually destroyed by a young lady.

On the other hand, Xu Yuning did not go home directly after leaving the Jiang Family. Instead, he turned around and went to a high-end apartment in the Second Ring Road District in the city center. This high-end apartment was developed by a real estate company under the Xu Family. It was 120 square meters and only one woman lived in it. Her name was Zhang Meng.

A year ago, this woman called Zhang Meng had just graduated from university and was interning at a high-end club under the Xu Family. No one would have thought that a year later, she had already transformed into the deputy manager of the administrative department of the Defeng Foundation, the most famous company under the Xu Corporation. She was also the woman who had climbed into Xu Yuning’s bed two months ago while the company was doing team-building.

“Yuning, why are you here so late?” Zhang Meng saw him and was in a daze, as if he was a little frightened.

“I came to see you.”

“Have you eaten? Shall I make you some supper?”

“No need. Is there any alcohol?”

“Yes, is vodka okay?” The woman had a harmless face. As she answered gently, she squatted down to help the man change into his slippers and took care of him meticulously.

Xu Yuning did not answer. He walked into the living room and slumped onto the sofa with a tired expression.
