Chapter 146: After Spending So Much Money, She Must Be Penniless Now

The secretary nodded, though inwardly he thought: You never used to pay attention to these things before...

It wasn't just the online discourse; ever since Madam started appearing on variety shows, you’ve been keeping track of every single one she’s on.

Oh, right—that production team for "Mom is a Hero" from a while back; the director ended up leaking some scandalous information, and now no one in the industry dares to hire him for variety shows. He’s effectively unemployed.

Yes, the boss did that.

"How are things with the Ji family?" Lu Ye asked.

"On the surface, the Ji family is calm, as if they’ve successfully suppressed those dirty dealings. But for a family accustomed to having things their own way, there’s been quite a bit of internal turmoil. Old Master Ji was furious. From what I can tell, he intends to completely whitewash the family’s reputation, but Ji Sichen seems to disagree."

People in their circles, due to the nature of business rivalries, always have their "ears" to the ground. They hear a little bit about everyone’s affairs.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment. "Trying to whitewash..."

A cold arc touched his lips, radiating chill.

"By the way, Boss," Xie Yuan suddenly remembered, "that property Madam bought recently—she doesn't seem to realize it’s a Lu family asset."

Lu Ye furrowed his brows. He knew Jiang Sui had bought a property recently, having previously been renting. It wasn't hard for him to find out, and since it belonged to the Lu family, someone would have naturally informed her. As a celebrity, it was normal for her to have a place of her own, so he hadn't paid it much mind. However, she had suddenly purchased the unit a while ago without mentioning it to him.

"Cough... there is one more thing," Xie Yuan said, sounding hesitant.

"What is it?" Lu Ye asked.

Xie Yuan whispered, "It seems that when Madam isn't at that apartment, someone else has been staying there..."

As expected, Lu Ye’s expression darkened instantly upon hearing this. Someone else was staying there?

Xie Yuan immediately felt a wave of anger and jealousy radiating from his boss. He lowered his head further, not daring to draw a full breath.

Yet, this icy atmosphere did not last long. Lu Ye took out his phone and opened the transfer interface, his brows knitted tightly. She must be very poor after spending so much money.

*Ding!*

Jiang Sui’s phone, resting on the table, suddenly chimed with a notification. She glanced indifferently at the man before her, then picked up her phone to check.

[Received transfer: 10,000,000.00 Yuan]

Jiang Sui’s eyes widened in shock.

Ten million?

Who sent her ten million? Wait, isn't this the account Lu Ye used to transfer money to her from before?

"Miss Jiang."

The man opposite her called out to her. Jiang Sui snapped out of her daze regarding the ten million and turned her attention back to the middle-aged man.

The man was clearly extraordinary, carrying the refined, cold air of someone from a distinguished lineage. However, judging by his manner of speech and attire, he seemed more like an envoy than a master of the house. This was the man who had called her two hours ago to arrange this meeting.

"From the Lu family?" Jiang Sui set her phone down and sat up a little straighter.

Uncle Chi looked at her and smiled. "You may call me Uncle Chi."

Jiang Sui said, "I won't waste your time. You want to take Xuanxuan back, don't you?"

Uncle Chi stared at her for a few seconds before nodding. "That is correct. Xuanxuan’s grandfather—that is, Old Master Lu—hopes to bring her back to the Lu family. Xuanxuan is a granddaughter of the Lu family; it is only right for her to return. It is human nature for a grandfather to wish to see his granddaughter. We hope Miss Jiang can mediate this and persuade the Second Young Master to agree to this, allowing Xuanxuan to return to the Lu family."
