Quick Wear: Male Supporting Role, Your Wife is Here, Do You Want Her?

Chapter 110 CEO's Ex-husband 10

After not coming home all night, He Jiaojiao opened the door and found Lu Xiao was already waiting for her.

For some reason, she felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao did not scold her at all. He held her in his arms and said, "Jiaojiao, you have worked hard."

If possible, He Jiaojiao would rather Lu Xiao quarrel with her than be like this. He knew clearly what happened last night, but he could still remain so calm. This made He Jiaojiao feel that in his eyes, she was not a person at all, but a tool.

In the following time, He Jiaojiao went out earlier and came back later. Faced with Lu Xiao's closeness, she always found excuses to avoid him.

All of this was under Jiang Wan's control. After receiving her signal, Jiang Lingzhou began his next plan.

"Jiaojiao, you have been in the company for so long, it is time for you to have a deeper understanding of the company's affairs."

Jiang Lingzhou gave her a lot of authority. He Jiaojiao could even withdraw money directly from the company account and got what she wanted, but she was not as happy as she had imagined.

He Jiaojiao raised the corner of her mouth and said lightly: "Why are you so nice to me? You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I'm a liar?"

Jiang Lingzhou smiled instead of getting angry, and pinched her face affectionately, "Jiaojiao, you are destined to be my wife. When you are ready to go home with me to meet my parents, we will get married. If you really want to lie to me, then go ahead! But I don't believe you would be so cruel..."

Looking at Jiang Lingzhou's sincere face, He Jiaojiao appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was a mess. She hesitated and felt lost, unable to calm down.

When she returned home and saw Lu Xiao, she subconsciously chose to hide the truth. She was afraid to make a decision, afraid to face her own heart, and even more afraid of losing either Lu Xiao or Jiang Lingzhou.

Jiang Wan set up the trap just to cause a quarrel between the male and female protagonists, but how could he let her have her wish? He directly asked someone to reveal the matter to Lu Xiao.

One day, when He Jiaojiao returned home, she clearly felt that the atmosphere around her was not right. The room was pitch dark. After turning on the light, Lu Xiao was sitting upright on the chair, glaring at her with a gloomy face.

He Jiaojiao was flustered and asked unnaturally: "Xiao, why don't you turn on the light?"

Lu Xiao suddenly jumped up, took two quick steps to close the door tightly, grabbed He Jiaojiao's wrist, and pushed her against the wall.

"He Jiaojiao, if I hadn't discovered it myself, how long would you have continued to lie to me? Didn't Jiang Lingzhou already give you the money? You kept it a secret from me. Could it be that you really fell in love with him?"

He Jiaojiao dodged, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I really be attracted to him!"

The two have been together for many years. He Jiaojiao understands Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao also understands her. He knows what it feels like when she loves someone, and he also knows what it feels like when she lies.

Lu Xiao slowly let go of He Jiaojiao's hand, held her in his arms, and whispered: "Jiaojiao, I'll listen to you. After you get the money from Jiang Lingzhou, we'll leave here, get married, and live the lives of ordinary people..."

These were clearly the words He Jiaojiao wanted to hear the most before, but now, when she actually heard them, she did not feel the excitement and thrill she had expected.

He Jiaojiao patted Lu Xiao on the back, "Xiao, give me some more time. If I want to get money from Jiang Lingzhou, I still need to make a lot of preparations..."

After hearing what she said, behind her, which she couldn't see, Lu Xiao's face became terribly gloomy.

He suppressed his resentment and murmured, "Okay, then you should prepare yourself well, Jiaojiao. You know how much I like you, and you also know how those people would look at us if they knew the truth. Only we are a perfect match..."

He Jiaojiao's body stiffened. She heard the threat in Lu Xiao's words. After all, things had come to this between them.

......

During this period, He Jiaojiao was always absent-minded and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Just at this time, Jiang Wan asked her out to play.

Jiang Wan is not the only one who has few friends. Ever since she and Lu Xiao embarked on this path, He Jiaojiao couldn't remember how long it had been since she last contacted her old friends.

Looking at the silly Jiang Wan, He Jiaojiao was extremely conflicted, but finally she told her about the matter in a veiled way.

"Wanwan, if someone better than Jiang Yufeng appears now, will you abandon Jiang Yufeng and be with him?"

He Jiaojiao cared a lot about her answer. She stared at Jiang Wan's face closely, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.

Jiang Wan blinked and responded without thinking, "It depends on whether I like it or not. Only liking it is the most important thing. Staying with someone you don't like is torture every day."

He Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask, "If you choose a new person, won't you feel guilty towards Jiang Yufeng? Won't you feel like you've let down the feelings he's put into you over the years?"

Jiang Wan's lips curled slightly, "Yes, then I'll compensate him in other ways. The two of them are not happy together, even if they look like a perfect match."

He Jiaojiao stood there in a daze, not coming to her senses for a long time.

Yes, even if she felt sorry for Lu Xiao, she wouldn’t necessarily give herself up to him.

What Lu Xiao loves most is money, and what Jiang Lingzhou lacks the least of all is money. As long as she can compensate Lu Xiao financially, she will be able to be with Jiang Lingzhou with peace of mind.

That night, He Jiaojiao returned home early.

Sitting opposite Lu Xiao, she felt more relieved than ever before.

"Xiao, I don't want to keep pretending. I'm sorry, I've fallen in love with someone else."

There was a dark tide in Lu Xiao's eyes. He had known that this would be the result, but he didn't expect He Jiaojiao to say it so openly.

"I have struggled for a long time to make this decision, but I hope we can part ways in peace. Just tell me the amount, and I will do my best to make it up to you."

Listening to He Jiaojiao's words, it would be a lie for Lu Xiao to say that he was not heartbroken, but he knew very well that Jiaojiao's heart was no longer with him. It would be useless for him to pester her now. He might as well take the opportunity to fight for the most favorable conditions for himself.

"I want 100 million."

He Jiaojiao couldn't believe her ears, "How much do you want?"

"One hundred million." Lu Xiao's eyes were deep. "If you don't want to give it, that's fine. I just don't know if Jiang Lingzhou can still love you as much as he does now after knowing your true face."

Although she knew that he would ask for a huge sum of money, He Jiaojiao did not expect that Lu Xiao's appetite would be so big.

One hundred million is simply an astronomical figure.

"Xiao, do we really have to go this far? Can't we just part ways amicably? You asked me to give you a few million or 20 million. Jiang Wan, Jiang Lingzhou and I can still borrow money, but how can I give you 100 million?"

Lu Xiao's expression was the coldest she had ever seen. "I don't care how you take it. When you marry Jiang Lingzhou, this money will only be a drop in the bucket. Your future life of luxury will be compared to this 100 million. It all depends on your choice."
