457: Group Termination

Group Termination

Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi giggled as they stood outside.1

"Mommy, where's Daddy?"

"He went out for a run. He should be back soon."

Speak of the devil—two minutes later, Lu Zhi had returned.

As he entered and changed his shoes, he said, "It's so cold outside. Yunci, remind Ning'ning to wear more clothes when she goes out later. It's so cold."

After changing his shoes, he turned around and saw Lu Ning standing at the kitchen door.

He could not help but smile as he walked over. "Ning'ning, you're up. It's really cold today, remember to wear more if you head out later. If it's further away, I'll send you."

Lu Ning nodded. "Okay, thank you, Daddy."

Lu Zhi smiled and was about to add something when Lu Jingzhi tugged at his pants. "Daddy, what about me?"

Lu Zhi: "Huh? What about you? Don't go out."

Then, he ignored him and continued talking to Lu Ning.

Lu Jingzhi: ???

"Daddy, how long have you known Uncle Jiang?"

Lu Zhi answered as he went to get a glass of water, "We've known each other for more than twenty years. What about it? Why did you suddenly mention Uncle Jiang?"

"It's nothing. I just suddenly saw a post about Uncle Jiang online, and they all said that Uncle Jiang is a golden bachelor. I'm a little surprised that Uncle Jiang isn't married yet."

Hearing this, Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi were taken aback for a moment. Then, Lu Zhi walked out and looked at Lu Ning. "Don't mention this in front of Uncle Jiang in the future."

Lu Ning looked at Lu Zhi's serious expression and was a little frightened. She nodded. "Okay."

Lu Zhi's expression softened when he saw Lu Ning's expression. He raised his hand and rubbed her head.

"Your Uncle Jiang actually has someone he likes."

As Lu Zhi spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down. He looked at the cup in his hand in a daze.

Lu Ning looked at him and asked softly, "Then why doesn't he get married? Does that girl not like Uncle Jiang?"

Lu Zhi did not speak. Shen Yunci said with her back facing Lu Ning in the kitchen, "No, they were in love. The girl passed away."

Lu Ning was stunned. She stood rooted to the ground as she was hit by this sentence. She did not come back to her senses for a long time.

She thought that perhaps Uncle Jiang had failed to woo that girl, or that the girl had already married someone else, but she did not expect it to be like this.

They were separated by life and death.

Lu Ning was suddenly struck by a wave of sadness.

Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi explained this matter very calmly, without any complicated words, but it was this plain narrative which made her feel so heartbroken.

To be separated from your soulmate by life and death…

It felt wrong to say anything about such a romance. Lu Ning gaped her mouth, but did not say anything in the end. However, she saw Shen Yunci's shoulders trembling in the kitchen.

She suddenly regretted asking this question. With someone's passing, even after so long, her friends still could not help but cry when they thought about her.

She wondered how Uncle Jiang had spent all these days and nights.

When Sun Qian arrived at the company early in the morning, she suddenly received a lot of termination contracts for her projects.

At first, she was a little puzzled when there was only one, but when she saw all the termination contracts on the table, she could not help but frown at her assistant.

"What's all these? A collective termination? What's the meaning of this?! Do you think you're buying groceries at the wet market?! All of you want to go back on your word?"

Sun Qian was already in a poor mood this morning. Sun Luy had come to cause trouble and fussed the entire night, so her head was about to explode. Yet, there were still so many termination contracts waiting for her at the company. She was so infuriated that she ended up shouting.
