Chapter 1753: Chapter 1754: Director Lu’s Benefits 2
It was his fault.
It was he who spoiled her to the point of lawlessness, yet failed to protect her properly.
It was all his fault.
It would never happen again, this kind of thing, just once was enough to fill him with regret.
Xia Weibao buried her head in his embrace, sobbing softly.
Tears soaked through his tracksuit, burning his skin like boiling water.
His arms tightened around her once more, as if to embed her into his very bones, "I’m sorry."
Sorry.
When he brought her into the palace back then, he promised to protect her for eternity.
However, he failed to do so.
In the past life, it was he who ended her life with a cup of poison, and in this life, he placed her in such a dangerous situation, making her suffer like this.
He hadn’t fulfilled a single promise he made to her.
"I’m sorry, it won’t happen again, never again."
Xia Weibao lifted her head, "Why are you here?"
Fortunately, he came. If he hadn’t, in such a situation, she really wouldn’t have known what to do.
Lu Hualiang gently touched her head, "That bar belongs to me, someone informed me."
The Yanxia Group’s influence spans the globe, and that bar is one of its enterprises.
As soon as he arrived in T city, all the heads of his hubs had already come to meet him, and he had granted them special privileges.
During his stay in T city, all the hub heads here could contact him directly.
So, when someone notified, the head of the bar had already reported to him.
He had ordered all surveillance footage to be retrieved, then hurried back.
That’s how he managed to arrive just in time.
Lu Hualiang’s arms tightened continually, the more he thought, the more fearful he became.
"Don’t worry, this matter..."
"You don’t need to handle this matter!" Xia Weibao’s tone was urgent.
Lu Hualiang’s face instantly turned cold.
Xia Weibao realized that her tone was a bit harsh, so she softened it, "This is an internal Xia Family conflict, during an election, machinations are to be expected. It was my carelessness that led to this.
I’ll handle it myself, you don’t need to interfere."
Lu Hualiang remained unmoved, looking at her intently, his eyes as dark as ink.
One couldn’t discern the emotions in his eyes, yet the latent hostility was palpable.
Was it really, as she said, just an internal struggle of the Xia Family?
Or was she trying to protect that man?
Seeing his displeasure, Xia Weibao truly feared he’d impulsively execute everyone involved.
With his domineering and cold nature, it was something he would absolutely do.
Xia Weibao clutched his sleeve, pleading with her expression, "Please, don’t interfere in this matter, let me handle it, okay."
Lu Hualiang’s expression was indifferent, looking at her with a mix of heartache and disappointment.
"Eat first, you’ve slept for an entire day and night."
"Promise me first."
"I said eat first!" Lu Hualiang’s tone became heavier, flinging his hand forcefully.
Xia Weibao, being weak at that moment, was flung back onto the bed.
The pain drained the color from her face.
Lu Hualiang was startled, hastily helping her up, "How are you? Where does it hurt?"
"I’m fine." Xia Weibao looked at him pleadingly, "Husband, I’m begging you, please don’t get involved in this matter."
Lu Hualiang’s heart was pierced deeply, "Okay."
In front of her, he always compromised.
"Eat something first."
Lu Hualiang picked up a bowl, feeding her the soup.
Xia Weibao obediently opened her mouth, sipping the soup in small sips, while cautiously observing his expression.
"Are you angry?"
"No."
With that, he fell silent.
A powerful chill enveloped the entire room.
