Chapter 2537 Lou Xiao'e's Indifference
A luxury house in Hong Kong
One lady was chatting with another lady.
"Xiao'e, I remember you used to own a restaurant in Beijing, right?"
Lou Xiao'e showed little interest upon hearing this: "I did indeed run a restaurant in Beijing when the reform and opening up had just begun."
Later, the restaurant was given away, so I came back.
Why are you asking this?
The noblewoman smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask you about something."
Let me tell you, didn't you miss the charity gala the other day because you weren't feeling well?
I met someone from Beijing, and I heard something horrifying from him.
"What's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e asked, puzzled.
If it were something truly shocking, it would have been in the newspapers long ago. And if it were in the newspapers, she would know.
The noblewoman said mysteriously, "It's a story about someone who ate up a family that had no descendants."
"Eating off an heir? Which family has exposed their dirty laundry?" Lou Xiao'e looked at the noblewoman with suspicion.
It's no wonder Lou Xiao'e thought that way. They were all wealthy people, and they only associated with wealthy people.
The things that concern them are all things that happen to wealthy people.
In this world, those who exploit others do not discriminate between the rich and the poor.
The wealthier a person is, the more sordid things happen in their family.
Everyone basically knows what's going on; they just talk about it privately. But no one would deliberately spread rumors.
What actually gets out are the leaked information.
"Hey, it's not anyone's family, just an ordinary family." The lady said nonchalantly.
Lou Xiao'e said, "When have you ever cared about the affairs of ordinary people?"
The noblewoman said, "It's not that I care; if it weren't for the possibility of involving you, I wouldn't bother with these things at all."
"You've got me involved?" Lou Xiao'e looked puzzled. "What does this have to do with me?"
Could it be that my brothers are fighting amongst themselves again?
Their business is none of my concern.
I separated from them a long time ago.
The noblewoman said, "This isn't about your brother. Never mind, I'll just tell you directly."
It's about something that happened in Nanluoguxiang, Beijing..."
Then the lady told Lou Xiao'e everything that had happened to Sha Zhu in the last two years.
"I just heard that there was a Miss Hong Kong named Lou Xiao'e in the story."
I thought it might have something to do with you, so I came all this way to tell you.
After listening for a few minutes, Lou Xiao'e confirmed that it was about Sha Zhu's side.
She was curious about what trouble Qin Huairu had caused this time, so she patiently listened to the whole thing.
After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's face showed an expression of disbelief.
She had seen through what kind of person Sha Zhu was.
In today's trendy terms, Sha Zhu was Qin Huairu's loyal sycophant.
That's a lapdog who would never betray its master.
Lou Xiao'e didn't believe for a second that Sha Zhu would really have a conflict with Qin Huairu.
As for the reason that it was because of her sister's death, Lou Xiao'e just laughed it off.
If Sha Zhu really cared about He Yushui, he wouldn't have almost let her starve to death.
When she left, she left behind so much wealth, but Sha Zhu didn't give He Yushui a single penny.
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e didn't react, the noblewoman cautiously asked, "You were also frightened by this story, weren't you?"
A scheme to devour the last remaining heirs of a family, planned over fifty years ago, is more exciting than any power struggle within a wealthy family; it should really be made into a TV series.
By the way, Lou Xiao'e in that story, could she be you?
"It's me." Lou Xiao'e didn't deny it, nor could she deny it.
The Lou family's background and their investments in mainland China are well known to the wealthy women.
If the lady hadn't confirmed that the person in the story was her, she wouldn't have made a special trip to tell her this story.
The noblewoman said, "When I heard the story, I also felt it was you."
Now it's finally confirmed.
If that's the case, then that guy named Shazhu must be He Xiao's biological father.
"Yes." Lou Xiao'e didn't show much expression.
She had already let go of the matter of Sha Zhu when she decided to leave. Over the years, even when she went to Beijing on business, she never set foot in the courtyard house.
The noblewoman was somewhat annoyed by Lou Xiao'e's lackluster performance.
"He Xiao's father was also a pitiful man. He was almost ruined by a group of neighbors who schemed against him."
Fortunately, he has regained consciousness.
I think this is a good opportunity for you to get revenge. Do you want to go back and take those things back?
Rather than letting that Qin guy profit from us, we should take back the family property to help He Xiao out of this predicament.
Lou Xiao'e frowned: "Don't say anything more. I have nothing to do with them anymore."
Whatever happens over there, I won't care.
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was unyielding, the noblewoman had no choice but to slink away.
As soon as she left Lou Xiao'e's mansion, the wealthy woman spat out a curse.
"What strong woman? A cook who serves others would rather have a widow than you."
Bah!
Despite her anger, the noblewoman felt a headache coming on when she thought about the arrangements made by the person who had contacted him.
Even more troublesome than her was Jin Jichuan.
Not only is Sha Zhu completely unresponsive, but there's also been no progress with Lou Xiao'e.
He had thought those arrangements would get Lou Xiao'e into trouble.
Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao'e knew an influential leader who interrupted his scheme with a single sentence.
Jin Jichuan couldn't understand why that leader would help Lou Xiao'e.
He sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find any connection between that leader and Lou Xiao'e.
After hanging up the phone, Jin Jichuan angrily smashed a cup on the table and sat on the sofa, sulking.
Mike came in and was shocked by what he saw in the room.
They're spies, and they've all received professional training. Even if their mission fails, they wouldn't lose their composure like this.
"Boss, what happened?"
Jin Jichuan took a deep breath to suppress his agitation.
"What exactly is going on with the Lou family? Why is that leader helping Lou Xiao'e?"
Fearing he might anger Jin Jichuan, Mike cautiously said, "The specifics haven't been fully investigated yet."
However, some people say that Lou Xiao'e went to see that leader, and after Lou Xiao'e left, the leader spoke up on his own initiative.
"Useless!" Jin Jichuan roared in dissatisfaction.
Mike quickly said, "However, I have noticed something."
"What's going on?" Jin Jichuan asked.
Mike said, "That leader has some connection with the big leader that Sha Zhu knows."
Lou Xiao'e probably met him when she was in Beijing.
Jin Jichuan frowned and began to think seriously.
"Does Lou Xiao'e know that leader, and does Qin Huairu know him too?"
"Well... it's hard to say. You know, nobody usually cares about these kinds of things."
"Our investigation won't concern itself with these things," Mike explained.
Jin Jichuan understood this, but he was still unwilling to accept it.
If the Lou family isn't driven to the brink of despair, why would Lou Xiao'e come to Beijing on her own initiative?
If Lou Xiao'e doesn't come to Beijing, he really can't persuade Sha Zhu.
"Go back and ask Qin Huairu. If she knows that leader, have her contact him."
"Please, that leader, don't get involved in Lou Xiao'e's matter."
“Okay, I’ll go to the courtyard house in a bit,” Mike agreed confidently.
In their minds, Qin Huairu, as Sha Zhu's legal wife, had a much closer relationship with the high-ranking leader than Lou Xiao'e.
If Lou Xiao'e can find someone, Qin Huairu can certainly find someone too.
Given Qin Huairu's influence with the high-ranking leader, this kind of trivial matter shouldn't be a problem.
Seeing that Kim Ji-cheon's anger had subsided, Mike asked him again why he was angry. (End of Chapter)
