Hidden Marriage

Chapter 173: A Quick Lesson

Late night, in the Lu residence .

After catching up with some entertainment news online, Ning Xi was preparing to sleep when a bunch of messages popped up on MSN .

The messages were from Su Yan .

Su Yan: [Xiao Xi, where are you right now? I saw someone at Xueluo’s hospital today, was it you?]

Su Yan: [You really went overboard with this matter . You can’t keep using the guilt that we feel towards you to act without any restraint . Our tolerance is wearing thin!]

Su Yan: [Escaping from your problems doesn’t solve anything, you owe Xueluo an apology!]

……

Ning Xi scoffed lightly before mashing out a reply: [I bought a watch last year!]

At that moment, three knocks sounded from the door .

“Come in~”

Lu Tingxiao pushed the door open and walked in holding a mug of warm milk . Seeing that she was still sprawled out and using her laptop, he immediately frowned, “Why are you still surfing the web? You need to rest . ”

“I was about to sleep, but I got disgusted with something right before bed . ” Ning Xi complained .

Lu Tingxiao walked over and passed the mug to her, “What happened?”

Ning Xi received the mug of milk with thanks . Without any thought of hiding what had happened, she then moved the laptop over to show him the chat logs on screen .

Lu Tingxiao’s expression turned slightly darker after he glanced at the screen . He showed a doubtful expression, “I bought a watch last year, what does that mean?”

“Pfft…” After hearing Lu Tingxiao read out that phrase in such an upright manner, Ning Xi almost spat the milk out . She explained awkwardly while coughing, “Uh, it’s some internet slang, it’s a… it’s a classic phrase used to openly scold someone else!”

“Is it? What does it mean?” Lu Tingxiao modestly requested her explanation .

Ning Xi had no other choice but to start teaching him earnestly: “The abbreviation for ‘I bought a watch last year’ is ‘WQNMLGB’… Uh, do you understand?”

Lu Tingxiao nodded after understanding the meaning in just seconds .

Ning Xi heaved a sigh of relief . Luckily the great demon king had a high IQ . Otherwise, she would really have been a little embarrassed if she had to say a curse like ‘**** your mum’ out loud .

Over at Su Yan’s side, upon seeing Ning Xi’s reply, he immediately sent over another wave of messages, mostly along the lines of ‘it’s not too late to repent’ . Without even bothering with the messages, Ning Xi signed out of MSN and turned off her laptop .

Seeing how Ning Xi had neatly ignored the messages, Lu Tingxiao’s mood seemed to lift, “I’ve already contacted Ning Xueluo for you . ”

“Really? What did you say?” Ning Xi immediately asked .

Lu Tingxiao pulled out his phone, opened an email and showed it to her .

Ning Xi hurriedly moved closer to him to look at it . When she finished reading it, she turned completely speechless, “…”

In Lu Tingxiao’s email to Ning Xueluo, other than the evidence and an account number, there were only a few words and there wasn’t even any punctuation: 8 million yuan in 24 hours .

It was extremely like Lu Tingxiao’s way of doing things .

“Not bad, not bad . The simpler it is, the easier it is to cause panic . This is pretty good . ” Ning Xi made a show of taking things seriously, nodding as she praised him .

“You can terminate your contract with Starlight when the money comes in . I’ll send a lawyer to accompany you there when the time comes, so they can’t cause any trouble for you . ”

“I’ve already gotten Jingli to prepare your contract with Golden Age and I’ll show it to you tomorrow morning . If there’s anything you want to change, we can discuss it later . After signing with Golden Age, the company will arrange for a press conference at an appropriate time and reveal the evidence . From there, we’ll start on the legal proceedings…” Lu Tingxiao’s low voice resounded like a cello as he spoke calmly of the upcoming plans and arrangements .

Ning Xi was in a daze while listening to him . She could only nod and nod, before finally asking, “Is there anything you need me to do?”

“Eat, sleep and rest . ”

“Okay…”
