âThen let me ask you, how did you find out that there was something wrong with the jewelry? And how did you produce the evidence?â
âI really canât remember.â
Lu Wenhui sneered and took the jewelry that Han Tian had brought over from the table. She walked toward Han Chang and placed it in front of him. âAre you sure you canât remember?â
Han Chang also stopped laughing. He said indifferently, âCould I be lying?
âSince you canât remember, let me tell you, Han Chang! More than ten years ago, the jewelry company that Zhou Ping and I founded had always been developing smoothly, while you failed several times in your entrepreneurship. Not only were you jealous of me, but you were also jealous of Zhou Ping, so you deliberately forged evidence to tell us that this batch of goods was fake. At that time, our jewelry company was facing a serious problem. All of us had to do our best to solve the problem, so we really couldnât spare the time to deal with this sudden old crisis. You did it on purpose!â Lu Wenhui originally couldnât figure it out, but after being reminded by the evidence Qiao Weiyang took out, she figured it out.
With the final missing puzzle piece, everything else became clear.
She said angrily, âOur goods are all real. Whatâs fake is your slander!â
Han Tian couldnât help but speak up for her father. âYou believed my father when he said it was fake. Are you stupid? Now that something has happened, youâre blaming my father?â
âI believed him because we were a couple back then!â
Everyone was stunned. Lu Wenhui had been single for so many years, and many people did not know that she had once been in a relationship.
Lu Wenhui stared at Han Chang and said, âHan Chang, you were jealous that Zhou Ping and I were doing well in our careers, and you also thought that I might look down on you because of this, so you tried all means to sow discord between us and attack our confidence! Youâre really vicious!â
Han Chang refused to admit it at all. âPresident Lu, you must be joking. Since your career was developing so well, how could you be affected by me?â
âYou donât have to deny it. We were together for a few years back then. I know your personality very well. But you were really wrong. Zhou Ping already had a wife and children. He and I had always been business partners. We didnât have any personal feelings like you thought! Your jealousy made you lose your mind!â Lu Wenhui said.
She stared fixedly at Han Chang. âItâs been so many years. Zhou Ping and I were tortured by our conscience, but we didnât know how to resolve what happened back then without damaging the reputation of the company. In the end, all of this is just false evidence!â
âNo matter what you say, youâre the ones who did it. It has nothing to do with me,â Han Chang said. âThereâs nothing I can do about it now.â
âVery well. The so-called evidence you provided me back then is nothing, huh?â Lu Wenhui stared into his eyes and asked, âIn that case, it shouldnât matter if I let your partners and cooperative companies know about this, right?â
Han Changâs expression changed drastically. His current status was extraordinary. He was no longer the same as before.
If Lu Wenhui exposed these things, it would seriously affect his social status.
Lu Wenhui sneered. âBack then, Zhou Ping was brooding over this matter, feeling tortured in his heart. It caused him to suffer from depression. After that, he died young. He had already paid a huge price. Meanwhile, youâre just being exposed for the ugly thing you did back then. Itâs nothing important, right?â
Han Chang gritted his teeth. âPresident Lu, I advise you to calm down.â
âCalm down? Zhou Ping has already paid the price with his life all because of your vicious thoughts, yet you still want me to calm down?â Lu Wenhui could not calm down. She pointed at the door and said, âGet lost, get lost!â
Han Tian did not expect to cause such a big trouble. Seeing Han Chang leave, she hurriedly followed her father out.
Zheng Mengwei could only follow them out.
The other shareholders also realized that things were completely different from what they had imagined. They retreated in silence.
Lu Wenhui fell into a chair. She looked haggard, and her eyes were empty.
Qiao Weiyang gestured for her assistant to go out and pour a cup of hot coffee.
Soon, the assistant brought it over. Qiao Weiyang took the coffee and walked up to Lu Wenhui. She placed the coffee in her hands while saying in a low voice, âAunt Hui, itâs good that the matter has been investigated.â
âIâve let Zhou Ping down, as well as his wife and children.â Lu Wenhuiâs voice was filled with pain. âBack then, I trusted Han Chang too much. Even after we broke up, I never suspected his intentions. I didnât expect that this was a scheme he concocted back then. He didnât kill Zhou Ping, but Zhou Ping died because of him.
Qiao Weiyang was also very sad when she heard that and held her hand.
Lu Wenhuiâs entire body was trembling. She gritted her teeth. âHow am I going to answer to Zhou Pingâs wife and children?â
Qiao Weiyang was also silent.
The sunlight shone in from the window and hit the ground at first, but it gradually moved to the corner of the wall. Then, it converged and was replaced by the gradually darkening night.
âAunt Hui, go back and rest first,â Qiao Weiyang said softly. âYou canât afford to let anything happen to you.â
She helped Lu Wenhui stand up, and Lu Wenhuiâs voice returned to normal. âWeiyang, you know that I have the red diamond. Previously, Zhou Ping was the one who suggested buying the red diamond. It didnât cost much back then. After he bought it, he didnât get to see it cut with his own eyes. I donât intend to cut it anymore. Since the people outside are always thinking about the red diamond, Iâll announce this matter.â
âZheng Mengwei will hate you very muchâ¦â Qiao Weiyang said softly.
âIs it reasonable for her to buy a fake, then? If she didnât know that itâs fake, why would she be forcing me to work with her? She just wants to divert the conflict and resolve the crisis.â Lu Wenhui was not a fool. She jumped out of the emotional entanglement of the past and quickly figured things out.
Qiao Weiyang nodded. âAlright, then weâll go ahead with things.â
The two of them walked out together, and Zhou Zefan walked toward them. There was a hint of gloom in his expression. It seemed that he knew about what had happened today.
Lu Wenhui looked at the young child in front of her. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she did not know what to say.
âAunt Hui.â Zhou Zefan walked forward, his eyes slightly red. âMy mother and I were at home just now. Weâve already heard what happened.â
Lu Wenhui couldnât help but tear up. Zhou Zefanâs father was her best friend, but so was his mother.
The company was named Hua Wen Jewelry. The name was also derived from the name of Zhou Zefanâs mother, Wu Shuanghua.
âZefan, Iâve let you and your mother down. I trusted Han Chang too much back then and believed his nonsense.â
âAunt Hui, my mother asked me to tell you that she doesnât blame you. No one expected him to be such a person back then. Youâve suffered a lot with us all these years, so donât blame yourself..â
