Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Friends’ Stock Market

Qiao Yi did not know Lu Yanchuan’s friends, but that did not stop her from showing concern for him.

After all, she and Lu Yanchuan were as one in marriage. His friends should naturally be her friends too!

For a moment, Lu Yanchuan did not know how to explain to Qiao Yi, and not wanting to lie to her, he gave a vague response.

"There is no danger at the moment. Since he left voluntarily, he must have had his reasons."

But, in fact, there were no reasons at all! It’s just that Yan Xiyu couldn’t get over Leng Shanshan, who is now An Wei, and thought they could mend their broken relationship.

Little did he know that when he followed the information he had gathered to find An Wei, he found out that she hated him to death.

Yan Xiyu was confused, he didn’t understand, he questioned further, and after being severely beaten up, Yan Xiyu finally got the answer.

When the news of their relationship was discovered by the Yan Family, they immediately warned An Wei to stay away from Yan Xiyu, or else she would suffer.

Young love, stubborn as it is, ignored the threats from the family, and the two continued their relationship until the Yan Family, infuriated, forced them to separate.

Yan Xiyu thought he was running away with An Wei, but in reality, it was all a trap set by the Yan Family.

The Yan Family Patriarch bet with An Wei, wagering whether Yan Xiyu would give up everything for her; naturally, the result was that Yan Xiyu gave up everything to leave with An Wei.

But how could the Yan Family Patriarch, Yan Xiyu’s father and the head of the Yan Family, allow his son, the heir of the Yan Family, to be with such a wild girl? So, during a confrontation when Yan Xiyu and An Wei were cornered, he sabotaged Yan Xiyu.

He made Yan Xiyu watch helplessly as An Wei fell off a cliff.

He made An Wei watch helplessly as Yan Xiyu appeared indifferent to her death.

"But if that were all, why does An Wei hate your friend so much?"

Lu Yanchuan smiled helplessly. Yan Xiyu’s story was not a beautiful fairy tale; he didn’t want Qiao Yi to see so much scheming and plotting.

But seeing that Qiao Yi was determined not to give up until she heard the whole truth, Lu Yanchuan continued with the rest of the story.

After being taken back by Mr. Yan, Yan Xiyu still thought of An Wei and wanted to retrieve her body to give her a proper burial.

However, Mr. Yan, who had already staged a play with An Wei to make her give up on Yan Xiyu, was not about to let him find An Wei’s body. Thus, he lied about burying An Wei while actually forcing her to go far away.

An Wei herself was not so easily disheartened, especially when she was forced to leave, thinking that Yan Xiyu had no choice but to give up on her; she still wanted to find Yan Xiyu.

Seeing these two young people so stubborn, Mr. Yan in a fit of anger had people harm An Wei while also releasing news that Yan Xiyu would become the heir, making An Wei mistakenly believe that Yan Xiyu had her harmed so she wouldn’t interfere with his inheritance.

Exhausted in both body and spirit, An Wei finally gave up and went abroad, changing her identity.

But with deep love comes deep hatred. When An Wei once again saw Yan Xiyu’s name listed as the representative of LQ, she couldn’t contain her hatred and chose to join Dirk, using her knowledge of Yan Xiyu to help Dirk strike against LQ.

Lu Yanchuan slightly concealed the part involving LQ, but even so, Qiao Yi was incredibly surprised.

"So An Wei is also a pitiful person; so now your friend hasn’t gone back to inherit his family business but has instead come to work for you?"

"Indeed."

Yan Xiyu’s estrangement from his family was largely due to An Wei’s "death", but even more so because he couldn’t stand Mr. Yan’s control over him.

You see, before meeting Lu Yanchuan, Yan Xiyu was a dangerously obsessive teenager. Now, with great difficulty, Lu Yanchuan has somewhat turned him around; however, the influence of the family doesn’t just disappear.

For example, going to see An Wei alone was a result of his reckless impulsiveness.

Now, he ended up severely beaten, his life hanging by a thread, and even locked up, with critical intelligence about LQ extracted from him, ruining several branches.

The only good news was that some misunderstandings between Yan Xiyu and An Wei were cleared up.

Who knows what will become of these two now.

But as long as Yan Xiyu is alright, that’s what matters. As for the beating? If it were up to Lu Yanchuan, he himself would want to give Yan Xiyu a good thrashing.

"Actually, after a few encounters, I don’t find An Wei to be an utterly despicable villain. Compared to Jenfors, An Wei is actually pretty decent."

At least An Wei hasn’t tried to kill them.

Knowing Qiao Yi had a soft heart again, Lu Yanchuan helplessly pinched her cheek, closed the computer, and straightaway carried her off to leave.

"I needn’t worry about my friend’s business anymore, just as long as he doesn’t die. It’s rather our own issues... my dad has been wanting a grandchild for a long time now..."

After Yan Xiyu disappeared, so did An Wei.

Lin Ke attempted to contact An Wei several times, learning that An Wei had been missing for days.

The agreed-upon lawyer was also gone; although Lin Ke wanted to find a lawyer herself, with Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan around, which lawyer would dare to defend Lin Ke? In the end, the police symbolically appointed a figurehead lawyer for her.

Without the lawyer’s help and in the face of solid evidence, Lin Ke, unsurprisingly, lost the case and was handed the maximum penalty for minor injury under the intervention of Xiao Ting’s defense attorney.

Lin Ke sat at the dock with a pale face, looking pleadingly at the public gallery, but she did not see the figure she most wanted to see.

Lu Ming didn’t come, and he hadn’t shown up at all since she was arrested!

Lin Ke couldn’t figure it out. What unexpected event turned things into the current mess! Why did An Wei suddenly disappear, and why didn’t Lu Ming come to see her? What went wrong!

Lu Ming wouldn’t appear not only in court but also if Lin Ke was locked up.

On the day Lin Ke was in trouble, Lu Ming, fixated on the thirty percent share of Lu Group that Qiao Xin held, went directly to Qiao Xin’s house, hoping to find the transfer document.

However, after searching everywhere and not finding the transfer document, he discovered a special folder with Lin Ke’s name in Qiao Xin’s house.

Out of curiosity, Lu Ming opened the folder and was confronted with a photo of Lin Ke getting cozy with two men.

Instantly, blood rushed to his head.

As he flipped through the pages, Lu Ming could hardly contain his rage, especially when he saw an intimate photo of Lin Ke with a portly man, he finally lost it and swept all the decorations off the table to the floor.

"Lin Ke! Ahhh!!!"
