Chapter 353 - Friend’s advice (1/2)

Jun Mo frowned as he turned to look at his friend.

”What do you mean?”

Edward Wu just scoffed and ignored his friend. He knew that woman wasn't a simple woman who would be so stupid to invite her husband ex to live with them. She definitely had something up her sleeves.

Lei Zhao dispensed with ceremony entirely as he loosened his tie, removed his jacket before sitting down then polishing half the contents of the glass in one go.

He looked up to find Jun Molooking at him quizzically. ”Feeling the heat”

”In more ways than one, how is that secretary of yours Edward,” he asked conversationally, grasping at anything to defer the lecture he knew was sure to come. In all of their circle growing up, Edward had been the one he had grown closest with because he had a perspective that was thought-provoking and wasn't afraid of the truth.

Edward Wu just glared at Lei Zhao and rolled his eyes at him.

”Beautiful and yes, I'm f.u.c.k.i.n.g her now. Happy? And don try to change the subject” Edward Wu circled back neatly.

Lei Zhao sighed, he should have known he could not have evaded it. ”In my defense, I didn't know people would react like this to me”

Edward Wu shrugged, before replying ”I didn't see a problem beyond mild inconvenience until my sister explained things from her perspective very carefully to me”

”What did she say?” He was genuinely curious

”She said it was as if you had gone and adopted a child without telling your wife now she has to bear it gracefully.”Lei Zhao winced

”Mentioning that Yue Yan is an a.d.u.l.t of her own won't further my argument right?” He asked without hope of a favorable response

Edward Wu merely shook his head from side to side before saying ”it's only going to make it worse”

”I thought so, and mentioning that Yan Mei offered, almost insisted is not going to...” He never got to finish the sentence

”Nope.” A single word, very emphatic.

”I didn't think so”

”You look stressed, the sudden attention too much for you Mister billionaire?” Lei Zhao looked up from his thoughts to find his friend regarding him with a concerned look.

”It's Yan Mei ” he admitted carefully

”What happened?” Jun Mo asked, none of the censures in his voice this time.

”She had an accident at work two days ago”

Jun Mo froze, then carefully dropped the snifter in his hand. ”Why am I just hearing this?”

Lei Zhao sighed, aware of the sudden shift in the atmosphere ”I can't wrap my head around it just yet, I don't think I have words to explain the entire scene without losing my mind.”

”Try” his friend prompted, not unkindly.
