Marriage first, love later: Domineering husband comes gently

Chapter 284 Negotiations
Chu Haoxuan and Shen Ningxuan stayed in the family compound until night before returning to the villa with Aunt Wu and Uncle Ma.

Shen Xiaoqian saw Dad and Mommy coming back, and hurried to Mommy's side, "Mummy, why did you come back so late?"

Shen Ningxuan didn't answer her son's words immediately, she turned to Aunt Wu and said, "Aunt Wu, let's make some dinner first, don't make Qianqian hungry."

"Okay, I'll go right away," Aunt Wu said, then turned and left.

Shen Ningxuan took Shen Xiaoqian's hand and walked into the living room.

Seeing that Mommy didn't answer her question, Shen Xiaoqian felt a little angry on Dad's face, did something happen?

Sitting in the living room, Shen Ningxuan said to her son, "Qianqian, something happened in the family compound, and your dad and I went to deal with it, so I came back late. Are you okay at home this afternoon?"

Shen Xiaoqian nodded, "Well, I'm fine."

Seeing Mommy's appearance, Shen Xiaoqian was a little worried, what happened to the family compound?
"Mommy, are you okay?" Shen Xiaoqian looked at Mommy and asked.

Shen Ningxuan suppressed a smile, "Mummy is fine, don't worry."

"En," Shen Xiaoqian nodded.

Chu Haoxuan saw Shen Ningxuan chatting with her son in the living room, so he went to the balcony and looked at the scenery in the distance, hoping to relax the complicated mood in his heart.

Hearing the familiar ringtone of the mobile phone, Chu Haoxuan took out the mobile phone and saw that it was Lu Yu's call, and Chu Haoxuan hurriedly connected the phone.

"Hello, Lu Yu," Chu Haoxuan said.

"Haoxuan, Li Li has found the butler and is chasing him. That guy has gone far enough," Lu Yu's urgent voice came from the phone.

"Well, you must follow him closely, and don't let him slip away," Chu Haoxuan said.

"Understood, wait for my news," Lu Yu said.

Chu Haoxuan hung up the phone and held the phone tightly in his hand, but his heart was very heavy. He didn't intend to deal with the housekeeper. He was always by the old man's side. The time he spent with the old man was longer than the time he spent with the old man. There is a lot of time, but in the face of the current situation, I have to make a choice. If I don't catch the housekeeper, Xu Ming has no guarantee at all, and Li Cong and Jiang Hong have no way to explain it. There is also the unknown Tokens, these make myself completely collapsed, what should I do?What can be done to minimize the harm, especially for Shen Ningxuan and her son, I don't want them to suffer any harm.

Chu Haoxuan suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and quickly turned his head to see that it was Shen Ningxuan walking towards him.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Ningxuan asked as she approached Chu Haoxuan.

"No reason, I just want to stand here for a while," Chu Haoxuan said.

"The night view is really good." Shen Ningxuan glanced around, then looked at Chu Haoxuan's side face, "Still worried about the housekeeper?"

"Well, but I believe that Lu Yu will handle it well," Chu Haoxuan said.

"Then don't worry, the housekeeper didn't get the token anyway, did he?" Shen Ningxuan said.

Chu Haoxuan looked at Shen Ningxuan, "Well, don't worry about this, I just want to know some news from him, maybe the token will be there."

"Does the housekeeper know a lot?" Shen Ningxuan asked cautiously.

Chu Haoxuan nodded, and looked at the scenery beside him, "Well, he should know a lot, after all, he is the one who stays by the old man's side all the time."

Shen Ningxuan stood beside Chu Haoxuan, keeping silent

At one o'clock in the morning, Chu Haoxuan and Shen Ningxuan were already sound asleep, when suddenly the mobile phone by the bed rang.

Chu Haoxuan stretched out his hand, took the phone, and directly pressed the connect button, "Hello."

"Haoxuan, it's not good, it's not good, the housekeeper is dead," Lu Yu hurriedly shouted.

Chu Haoxuan immediately opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and said to the phone, "What's going on?"

"There was a car accident on the highway. A truck rammed directly into the housekeeper's car. The car exploded and the housekeeper died," Lu Yu said.

"Are you sure you read it right?" Chu Haoxuan couldn't believe it.

"There will be nothing wrong," Lu Yu said firmly.

Chu Haoxuan didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone.

Shen Ningxuan also sat up from the bed, rubbed her hazy eyes, looked at Chu Haoxuan, "What's wrong?"

"The butler is dead," Chu Haoxuan said calmly, but he had a vague doubt in his heart, could the car accident be a coincidence?
Shen Ningxuan opened her eyes wide, looking at Chu Haoxuan's side face, she couldn't believe it.

After a while, Chu Haoxuan turned his head to look at Shen Ningxuan, "It's okay, you sleep for a while, I want to go out for a while."

"Where are you going so late? I'll go with you," Shen Ningxuan was a little worried, and grabbed Chu Haoxuan's arm.

Chu Haoxuan touched Shen Ningxuan's cheek, and said, "I'll go find Lu Yu, don't worry about me, you sleep well, get up tomorrow and send your son to school, I'm fine."

Shen Ningxuan's heart was full of worry, but looking into Chu Haoxuan's eyes, Shen Ningxuan had no right to refuse or resist, so she could only nod slightly.

Seeing Chu Haoxuan changed his clothes and left the bedroom, Shen Ningxuan felt a little sad. In his heart, how much pain and the blow of the incident did he bear.

Chu Haoxuan went directly to the bar, where Lu Yu was already waiting.

Walking into the private room, Chu Haoxuan saw Lu Yu sitting there, and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing Chu Haoxuan sitting across from him, Lu Yu said, "Except for what I told you, there are no other traces. There is nothing valuable on the housekeeper, and the police can't find any clues."

Chu Haoxuan frowned tightly, without saying a word.

Based on the situation at the scene, Lu Yu expressed his guess, "Haoxuan, I don't think this car accident happened by accident. The truck rushed out suddenly, as if someone had planned all this in advance."

"Xu Ming," Chu Haoxuan said directly.

Lu Yu looked at Chu Haoxuan in surprise, did he know something in his heart?

"The housekeeper has secrets that we want to know, but Xu Ming doesn't intend to let us know these secrets," Chu Haoxuan said.

"You mean," Lu Yu guessed, "besides that incident, there are other things between you and Xu Ming?"

"It should be related to the token," Chu Haoxuan said firmly, "I only know that the token can mobilize Li Cong and Jiang Hong's people. If I guess correctly, the token is also a fortune."

"Wealth?" Lu Yu looked at Chu Haoxuan with wide eyes, "You mean, the back of the token, there is"

"It should be," Chu Haoxuan said, "I know the assets of the Chu family very well, but with the old man's hard work for so many years, I guess it is far greater than this number. Now I am in charge of all the assets of the Chu family. Although I have not checked in detail, but I don't think that's all there is to it."

"Haoxuan, didn't the old man tell you anything at the beginning?" Lu Yu felt that everything was broken. The old man's accident was an accident. If it was a gradual birth, old age, illness and death, the old man would definitely tell Chu Haoxuan what he was going to do next. , but the old man's departure was too sudden, he didn't make any preparations, he didn't even tell Chu Haoxuan the token, and in the current situation, he didn't know where to find it.

Chu Haoxuan shook his head, "No."

"Or do you have any hints in your usual speech?" Lu Yu continued to ask.

Chu Haoxuan thought about it seriously, and felt that the old man had never told him any hints.

"It seems not," Chu Haoxuan said while thinking.

"What about sister-in-law and Qianqian? Did the old man tell them anything?" Lu Yu asked.

Chu Haoxuan suddenly looked at Lu Yu. He didn't expect Lu Yu to ask such a question. How could the old man tell Shen Ningxuan and his son about the Chu family? It would not be beneficial for them to be involved in these things, and the old man would not tell them.

Lu Yu looked at Chu Haoxuan's eyes, and said quickly, "No, I just thought that apart from you and the housekeeper, the only people who can stay with the old man are my sister-in-law and Qianqian, so I just guessed casually."

Chu Haoxuan lowered his head and said in thought, "They definitely don't know, the old man won't tell them such an important matter, besides, your sister-in-law always tells me everything, she never mentioned it, she should have no idea."

Lu Yu thought about it too, "It seems to be true, if sister-in-law knows, then we don't have to worry so much."

Chu Haoxuan had more and more doubts in his heart. All the things made him feel helpless, things that he couldn't figure out at all, and the housekeeper's accident made him not know what to do next?Li Cong and Jiang Hong have already asked me to meet, and I have been rejecting their invitation by taking advantage of the listing of Qianyang Group, but such refusal will not be a long-term solution, and I still have to meet Li Cong and Jiang Hong , because of some things, they must be interviewed in person.

"Lu Yu," Chu Haoxuan suddenly called out.

"En," Lu Yu replied.

"Take care of the housekeeper's affairs in a low-key manner," Chu Haoxuan said. After all, the housekeeper has stayed in the Chu family for so many years, and it is impossible for him not to deal with his funeral.

"Well, I understand," Lu Yu nodded, "Then what should we do next?"

Chu Haoxuan didn't answer Lu Yu's words immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Say something to Li Li, if he has time, let him come to me, I have something to explain."

"Haoxuan, are you going to see Li Cong and Jiang Hong?" Lu Yu was a little surprised, "But the token has not been found yet, what if they want to see the token?"

"There is no other way, and they can't wait too long, or they will become suspicious," Chu Haoxuan said, "If you can, just confess to them."

"No," Lu Yu hurriedly refused, "If they know that the token is missing, they will search the whole city for the token, and then there will be an unimaginable battle, Haoxuan, we cannot afford the consequences .”

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Chu Haoxuan thought about it too, the consequences would be too terrible, and what he hoped in his heart was not like this.

Chu Haoxuan frowned tightly, not knowing how to solve it.

"Let me think about it again," Chu Haoxuan said softly.

Lu Yu looked at Chu Haoxuan's appearance, and didn't say much. He understood that Chu Haoxuan's heart, his heart, was tormented. Facing such a thing, one had to think carefully in order to make a good solution to it. .
