From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 166 - Jenfors’s Identity
Chapter 166 -166 Jenfors’s Identity
Under the influence of alcohol, Qiao Yi’s mind was not as quick as usual. She struggled to figure out why Lu Ming and Jenfors knew each other.
The two people conversing were getting closer, and just as they were about to walk to the restroom, it was too late for Qiao Yi to realize she wanted to retreat back into the bathroom!

“Mmph!”
Qiao Yi could already hear the footsteps of Jenfors and Lu Ming, when suddenly a hand reached out from the side, covered her mouth, and dragged her into the men’s restroom close by.
Behind her was a man’s broad chest; aside from the faint scent of alcohol, there was also the smell of a cologne that was very familiar to Qiao Yi.
It was Lu Yanchuan! How could he be here!
Qiao Yi’s hands grappled with Lu Yanchuan’s hand, but she stopped struggling and instead tried to turn around to see if the person holding her was indeed Lu Yanchuan.
“Don’t move.”
The man behind her deliberately lowered his voice, but even with just two words, Qiao Yi could still recognize him.
It was Lu Yanchuan. It was Lu Yanchuan who had brought her into the restroom.
The restroom door opened, and Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan were squeezed into a tiny stall, while Lu Ming and Jenfors continued talking outside.
“I don’t care, just keep me out of your future business dealings. I’ve heard you’re in talks with Qiao Family, and you must have investigated that Qiao Yi you’re dealing with. It’s definitely more convenient to go through her than through me!”
“I know that without you telling me. But this woman is not easy to deal with. I’ve been trying to replace Taylor’s contract with mine for days, but to no avail. Are all the people from China’s great families this tough?”
Lu Ming deeply sighed in agreement. Not to mention Lu Yanchuan, just Qiao Yi alone was enough to be a headache!
Although it seemed that Qiao Yi hadn’t targeted him explicitly, ever since she married into the Lu Family, his position in the family had invisibly decreased quite a bit.
Previously, he was considered the heir of the third generation of the Lu Family. Because Lu Yanchuan wasn’t interested in women, and the two children of the eldest of the Lu Family weren’t up to the task, both outsiders and Lu Ming himself regarded him as the future heir of the Lu Family.
But now, Lu Yanchuan was married. Lu Yanchuan was not even thirty yet; once Qiao Yi had a child, it was uncertain who the future heir of the Lu Family would be!
Just the thought of this made Lu Ming furious, and he waved his hand, not wanting to continue this topic.
Jenfors and Lu Ming finished up and left the restroom feeling relaxed, while Qiao Yi hidden in the stall was already flushed and at a loss for what to do.
Lu Yanchuan looked at the bewildered Qiao Yi in his arms, having smelled the alcohol on her, and now she could not even stand steadily but had to lean on him to avoid sliding to the ground.
The tension from just before had made her sweat, and now Qiao Yi was even more drunk, getting confused after being picked up by Lu Yanchuan.
“Lu…Lu Yanchuan? Why is it you?”
The drunken little woman, with an adorable confusion she never showed usually, gently touched Lu Yanchuan’s face and giggled.
Lu Yanchuan left the hotel through the back door without changing his expression and carried Qiao Yi all the way to the underground car park. He stuffed her into the car, but suddenly, Qiao Yi woke up as if alarmed, jumping up from the back seat.
“I hate you! You’re a bad person! Get away from me!”
Lu Yanchuan held Qiao Yi down in the seat and gestured to Ma Yu to drive.
As for Qiao Yi’s struggles and mutterings, Lu Yanchuan utterly ignored them.
Qiao Yi alone managed to give Lu Yanchuan a disheveled feeling, with arms wrapped and legs exposed, pressing down on her legs only to let go of her body again; in short, there was never a moment of stillness.
Not only was she fidgety, but Qiao Yi was also mumbling in her mouth about how much Lu Yanchuan had wronged her.
After a chaotic night passed, Qiao Yi woke up the next day only to find herself lying in a very familiar room.
Beside her was a scorching body pressed tightly against her back, with an arm also wrapped around her waist.
It took a while for Qiao Yi to recover her senses, her head still hissing with pain; that was the price of drunkenness.
“How come you woke up so early, don’t you want to sleep a bit longer?”
The man behind her, whom Qiao Yi deliberately ignored, moved, and Qiao Yi finally couldn’t ignore her current situation any longer and sat up with her head in her hands.
“Why am I here?”
“Don’t you remember?”
Qiao Yi stupidly shook her head, trying hard to recall the events of yesterday, with her memory halting at her being carried out of the men’s restroom by Lu Yanchuan.
“You, yesterday…”
The words she heard before her memory disappeared echoed in her ears; Qiao Yi no longer cared about arguing with Lu Yanchuan about why she was brought back but instead clutched Lu Yanchuan again with a solemn expression and asked.
“Who exactly is Jenfors? He’s not with the Taylor Group, is he? Why does he know Lu Ming? Is there some relationship between them?”
Qiao Yi’s barrage of questions didn’t give Lu Yanchuan a chance to answer; or to be precise, just by looking at Lu Yanchuan’s expression Qiao Yi already knew the answers to her questions.
Indeed, the memories of yesterday weren’t her hallucinations; they truly existed!
“So, who exactly is Jenfors, that he can make you so wary and tense, and even have a connection with Lu Ming!”
By this time, even if Lu Yanchuan wanted to continue hiding the identity of Jenfors, he could not.
Lu Yanchuan sat up from the bed, hesitated a moment, and then said.
“Do you know about the Dirk Group?”
“The Dirk Group… I remember it’s a very famous company, but their reputation isn’t very good.”
Lu Yanchuan nodded, then continued speaking.
“The Dirk Group is a capital monopoly company from Western Europe, and before the Lu Family’s company appeared, had always monopolized Western Europe’s economy; internationally, it’s also called the Western European rogue company! Jenfors is a high-ranking executive in this company, with a very high status, and is greatly trusted by the president of the Dirk Group.”
Qiao Yi was already stunned, although she always felt that Jenfors gave off an odd vibe, she had never thought that Jenfors would have such an identity!
“But why would an executive of the Dirk Group become the leader of the Taylor Group’s inspection team? Even going as far as to sign contracts on behalf of the Taylor Group?”
“In recent years, the Dirk Group has lost a lot of the Western European market due to the suppression from the Lu Family’s company, and thus they have set their sights on China. Jenfors is ostensibly representing the Taylor Group to sign contracts, but in fact, he likely wants to substitute one thing for another and change the contract to favor the Dirk Group!”
By then, as long as Jenfors uses some tricks, the contract will have legal effect, and the Qiao Family will have nothing to do but to swallow their own teeth!
“Jenfors actually had such a plan! No wonder every time it came to signing the contract, he would find excuses to delay; every time I looked at the contract, he wanted to revise it again, waiting right here for me!”
