You Owe Me, My Love

After listening to Cheng Jinrong, Bai Rong realized he was in the know.

“I’m only doing my job,” said Bai Rong with a smirk.

“Good. I suddenly regret introducing him to you,” replied Cheng Jinrong. It seemed like he was insinuating something.

Bai Rong didn’t press on, but she guessed her previous prediction was correct.

Lu Xingzhou arrived after eleven o ‘clock. He was all smiles and polite to Bai Rong now. “I’m sorry for showing up late. I met up with a friend earlier and got stuck in traffic on the way here.”

“Let’s get to the point,” came Bai Rong’s curt reply.

“I agree. May I know when you will be able to head to Jadeborough?” asked Lu Xingzhou politely.

“You’re from Jadeborough?” Bai Rong was stunned to learn that fact. After all, Jadeborough wasn’t a provincial capital.

“Jadeborough’s my hometown. My wife and children are there. Normally, I’ll spend my weekends there. But if it’s a routine check, I might stay there for a longer period,” explained Lu Xingzhou.

“Got it. I can leave by tomorrow. I’ll draw up a contract at the research institute later. Please wait for me. I hope you can transfer the first payment before I depart.” Bai Rong stated her requests clearly.

Lu Xingzhou gave her a nod and smiled. “Sure. We can head there now.”

Bai Rong eyed Lu Xingzhou doubtfully.

He’s a totally different man today. Why isn’t he asking about the details? This is strange.

Is there another reason for him to be so easygoing?

Soon, Bai Rong and Lu Xingzhou arrived at her research institute.

She decided to bring him here to show him that the research institute was legal and legit, so he would put his guard down.

Lu Xingzhou simply stayed in his car and waited for Bai Rong.
