Chapter 163 Who Did You Offend?
In the Xia family, Xia Luoshu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and couldn't say how many times he looked down at his phone with a heavy heart.

His absent-mindedness was so obvious that Zhou Lu on the opposite side couldn't help frowning.

"Is my topic boring?"

There are a lot of messages on the phone, but there is no communication from the person he was expecting.

Xia Luoshu put down the phone in disappointment, looked up sullenly, and glanced at the woman opposite: "Sorry, I was rude."

Zhou Lu smiled helplessly and raised her eyebrows: "I think you seem to have something on your mind, so it's not convenient for you to tell me. Maybe I can give you some good suggestions?"

She is the daughter of Xia Luoshu's parents' friend's family. She is studying abroad and only returned to China during the winter vacation. Xia Luoshu's parents intend to let the two of them get in touch more often, and often invite her to Xia's house as a guest.

Zhou Lu originally disdained such a tactful blind date method, but she was deeply fascinated by Xia Luoshu the first time she saw him.

The gentle and gentle man, who has already stepped into the society, still has the clean and clear eyes that are unique to teenagers, and there is a hint of melancholy in his temperament.

All kinds of contradictory qualities combined in him form a charming story full of stories. Zhou Lu fell in love with him at first sight and took the initiative to launch an offensive against Xia Luoshu.

Xia Luoshu has liked Li Jingman since she was a teenager, but she didn't have the courage to appear in her life until her senior year, which is enough to show how bad he is at dealing with feelings.

He could feel Zhou Lu's liking for him, but he didn't know how to refuse so as not to hurt her, that's why he has been getting along with him in a neutral way until now.

Zhou Lu's question today just gave him an inspiration to refuse.

He smiled gently, a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm waiting for someone I like to send me a message, and I haven't waited for a long time, so I'm a little anxious."

"You mean the married woman?"

After Zhou Lu listened to his words, not only did she not realize his refusal, but a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Xia Luoshu was slightly taken aback: "You know?"

Zhou Lu said in a contemptuous tone: "Auntie told me everything. If you want me to tell you, she is married and still hangs on to you like this. She doesn't know you. She looks like a disorderly woman..."

"Shut up! Say no more!"

Xia Luoshu couldn't bear others to slander Li Jingman in front of him, so her face suddenly changed, all smiles were suppressed, and she looked at her displeased.

"You don't understand everything, and you can't judge others at will. She and I are not like you said..."

Zhou Lu was taken aback by his scolding, and then showed an aggrieved expression, and reprimanded loudly:

"Am I wrong?!

Is she already married?
Did she know you liked her and kept in touch with you during the marriage?

It's not that she's hanging on you what is it? !

She is obviously disorderly, and even after she got married, she flirts with you and uses you as a backup! "

No, it's not!She is not like this!
She didn't even know that he liked her!

Xia Luoshu wanted to refute Zhou Lu's words.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly start arguing after a good chat?"

There was a sound of opening the door in the distance, Xia Luoshu's parents came in from outside with tired faces, and greeted Zhou Lu.

"Lulu is here again today, how is getting along with Xiaoshu, has he bullied you?"

Zhou Lu quickly restrained her whole body the moment Xia's father and mother entered the door. Hearing this, she glanced at Xia Luoshu aggrievedly, and said in a low voice, "No."

Xia's father glanced at Xia Luoshu who was sullen, thought for a second, and said to Xia's mother: "It's getting late, it's not safe for a girl to go home too late, you go and see Lulu off."

He walked to Xia Luoshu again: "Come with me to the study."

Xia Luoshu was silent for a while, and when she stood up, she suddenly looked at Zhou Lu who had already walked to the door: "We don't agree with each other, Miss Zhou and I don't get along very well, so don't come to me in the future."

Mother Xia looked back at him in amazement, Xia Luoshu lowered her head, not looking at anyone, Zhou Lu's eyes filled with tears instantly, turned around and ran away without looking back.

It's really getting late, it's dark outside, it's really not safe for a girl to walk alone, Xia's mother called her: "Lulu, wait for me, I'll drive you."

She chased him out, but Zhou Lu had long since disappeared.

Mother Xia searched around but couldn't find anyone, she sighed facing the dark night, too many things happened recently, she was exhausted, and she didn't have time to put too much thought on Xia Luoshu's matter .

After searching again helplessly, but still finding nothing, she turned around and walked home.

In the study, Father Xia interrogated Xia Luoshu with a serious face.

"Tell me honestly, have you offended anyone recently?"

Xia Luoshu didn't understand: "What does it mean to offend someone?"

Father Xia said with a sullen face, "What did you do last time when you went to Taizhou?! Your uncle has been suspended from his post for abusing his personal power!"

Charlotte's expression changed slightly, and she panicked.

His uncle was the vice president of the hospital where Li Jingman was hospitalized at the time... Suspended? !
Could it be Fu Jingxing?

The Xia family can be regarded as a small rich in Jiangcheng, but this level is not even considered a wealthy family, and it is even more incomparable with Fu Jingxing.

He lowered his head guiltily, hesitating a bit: "I...I don't know..."

Xia's father took out some documents and scolded him in a deep voice: "What do you mean you don't know?!

look by youself!Now not only your uncle has been implicated, but even our company has been targeted.

If this continues, our family will go bankrupt sooner or later!

Tell me quickly, who did you offend? ! "

The above is the information of all the companies that have cooperated with Xia's family. Of the six long-term cooperative companies, except for Zhou Lu's family, the other five companies have reported that they have terminated their contracts.

Today, Zhou Lu's father had a long talk with Xia's father and Xia's mother, tactfully hinting whether they had offended anyone recently, and persuading them to give in as soon as possible before the situation became more serious.

Now that the matter has come to this point, no matter how stupid Xia Luoshu is, he still understands what's going on.

He pinched the stack of documents with his lips pursed, and the strength of his fingers almost crushed the few sheets of paper into pieces.

"Sorry, Father, I think I already know what's going on..."

He raised his eyes, his face was pale, but his gaze was very firm.

"It's my fault. It's my personal affairs that have hurt everyone, but please rest assured that I will resolve these matters as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the study.

Father Xia looked at his back worriedly and sighed heavily.

The phone rang suddenly, it was a call from Zhou Lu's house.

His eyelids twitched suddenly, is the Zhou family also want to terminate the contract? !
He hesitated for a long time before answering, but he was relieved after connecting.

"Zhou Lu? She's already gone home, Xiaoshu's mother sent her back."

The other party was relieved, and comforted him a few more words, persuading him to settle the company's affairs as soon as possible, and don't procrastinate like this.

Father Xia could only smile wryly, why didn't he know that he should solve it as soon as possible?It's just that the enemy is dark and he is clear, he doesn't even know who is targeting the Xia family!

Xia Luoshu looked like he didn't want to talk to him...

In Li Jingman's house, the little milk baby who had just taken a bath threw himself on the bed, happily found a comfortable corner under the quilt, and happily waited for his mother who finished washing to come and hug him to sleep.

At the side, Li Jingman's cell phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed three characters.
