Chapter 252 Major Blow
Li Minmin expressed her skepticism.
Of course, she wasn\'t about to voice that doubt.
At that moment, Zhao Yulu could no longer hear what Han Mengting was saying.
She was thinking about an excuse to leave.
The last thing she wanted was to face Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
Then everyone would know that she was connected to Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
After all, she and Zhao Yuxin were twin sisters, and they looked far too alike.
After thinking it over, she decided to go to the restroom first, contact a friend, and have the friend call later on claiming there was an emergency, so she could leave.
Thus, she was about to excuse herself to go to the restroom.
However, before she could get the words out, the private room door opened.
A young couple walked in.
It was Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
Done for!
Zhao Yulu\'s mind exploded with panic, and she wished she could bury her head under the table so that Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin wouldn\'t see her.
"President Xu, you\'ve arrived!" Han Jun stood up.
Han Mengting followed suit and got up.
Zhao Yulu and Li Minmin, seeing this, could only stand as well.
Seeing Zhao Yuxin beside Xu Yang, Han Jun, Han Mengting, and Li Minmin were all dumbfounded.
Isn\'t this Zhao Yulu?
No, this must be Zhao Yulu\'s twin sister.
The three of them looked from Zhao Yuxin to Zhao Yulu, and for a moment, nobody said a word.
"Sis, you\'re here too," Zhao Yuxin said, breaking the awkward silence.
Encountering Zhao Yulu here was just as surprising for Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
Truly twin sisters.
Indeed, how else could they look so alike, as if carved from the same mold?
That\'s what Han Jun and the others were thinking.
Han Jun snapped back to reality and said with a smile, "This must be Mrs. Xu. Who would have thought you and Miss Han here are sisters. Since we\'re all family, there\'s no need to be formal. Please, take a seat."
"President Han, Miss Han, I\'m sorry, but something urgent has come up, and I must leave," Zhao Yulu said, unable to stay any longer, she grabbed her purse and quickly walked out.
"Yu Lu," Li Minmin saw Zhao Yulu leaving and also excused herself, picking up her purse to follow.
She didn\'t understand what was going on, but since Zhao Yulu had left, and she had come with Zhao Yulu, naturally she couldn\'t stay either.
Han Jun and Han Mengting exchanged glances, sensing that there was an issue with Zhao Yulu\'s departure, but they said nothing to stop her.
"President Xu, Mrs. Xu, please take a seat," Han Jun quickly adjusted his mood and gestured again.
The departure of Zhao Yulu and Li Minmin didn\'t affect the dinner.
In fact, Zhao Yulu and Li Minmin were non-essential to the gathering.
It was Han Mengting who mentioned she might be nervous meeting Xu Yang\'s wife, which led to inviting Zhao Yulu, and Zhao Yulu brought Li Minmin along.
Without the two of them, nothing was affected.
The main purpose of the dinner was to discuss taking over shares from Xu Yang.
The issue with Han Mengting was secondary.
"Thank you," Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin took their seats.
Han Mengting kept sizing up Zhao Yuxin.
It had to be said, Zhao Yuxin was incredibly beautiful, one of the most gorgeous women she had ever seen.
And her figure was outstanding.
In terms of looks and body, she completely outshone her.
And one could tell at a glance that Zhao Yuxin was not just a trophy wife.
Perhaps her only advantage was her higher education.
In this respect, she felt that very few could surpass her, and Zhao Yuxin should not be amongst them.
But what use was that?
What was even more fatal was that, from the moment Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin walked in until they sat down, Xu Yang had been holding Zhao Yuxin\'s hand the entire time.
Even when taking a seat, he pulled the chair out for Zhao Yuxin and settled her bag for her, the epitome of considerate.
From these small gestures, it was clear that Xu Yang was deeply in love with Zhao Yuxin.
Moreover, the way Zhao Yuxin looked at Xu Yang was also shining with light.
This was a couple deeply in love with each other.
In just a short moment, Han Mengting\'s heart had suffered a severe blow.
It could be said that expecting Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin to divorce had become impossible.
It seemed that Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin would grow old together.
Waiting for Xu Yang to get a divorce was unrealistic.
It looked like she had to return to reality and find another man who could make her heart flutter.
"Ahem." Han Jun, noticing Han Mengting staring at Zhao Yuxin, couldn\'t help but cough to remind her.
Han Mengting came to her senses, adjusted her thoughts, and introduced herself, "Mrs. Xu, hello, I am Han Mengting from Penguin Group, it\'s a pleasure to meet you."
Seeing Han Mengting return to her normal state, Han Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Yuxin responded with a smile, "Hello, my name is Zhao Yuxin, and I\'m also very pleased to meet you."
So this was the woman who wanted to make a move on her husband.
Humph!
"President Xu, Mrs. Xu, I\'m not very familiar with Jiangcheng, but I\'ve heard that this restaurant is the best in Jiangcheng. Secretary Han and I ordered some dishes just now, but I\'m not sure if they suit your tastes. Please take a look and see if you\'d like to add anything else."
Han Jun gestured for Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin to look at the menu, which listed the dishes they had ordered.
Xu Yang smiled and said, "President Han, these dishes are also our favorites. There\'s no need to order more."
Han Jun nodded with a smile, "That\'s good then."
...
Zhao Yulu walked swiftly out of the restaurant.
Li Minmin hurried after her, catching up.
"Yu Lu, what\'s the matter, why did you leave?" Li Minmin asked.
"I don\'t belong there," replied Zhao Yulu without further explanation.
She didn\'t want people to know about her complex relationship with Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
If others found out, they would know she had left Xu Yang and would definitely mock her.
"Yu Lu, I had no idea Xu Yang was your brother-in-law; my goodness, I\'m so shocked," Li Minmin said, her excitement growing.
Xu Yang was a billionaire worth hundreds of billions.
To be honest, compared to Han Mengting\'s background, Xu Yang\'s was much more formidable.
"By the way, Yu Lu, since Xu Yang is your brother-in-law, why do you still work at Shengda Literature? Xu Yang has so many companies, and Jiang Bottom Fishing is incredibly popular. He could easily arrange for you to work on the management team there; it would be effortless," Li Minmin said, puzzled.
She didn\'t understand why Zhao Yulu would choose to come out and work.
Was it because she didn\'t want to rely on connections and preferred to strive on her own?
"Min Min, I can\'t explain to you for the time being, but could you please not tell anyone about this for now?" Zhao Yulu felt somewhat overwhelmed and needed to think things through.
First and foremost, she had to ensure Li Minmin didn\'t spread the news and let others in the company know.
After all, not many people knew about it, and people with the status of Han Jun and Han Mengting would likely not gossip. Hence, as long as she cautioned Li Minmin not to talk about it, that should suffice.
She would have time to consider how to handle the situation.
Whether to resign directly from Shengda Literature or not.
"Alright," Li Minmin agreed, sensing something was off. Since Zhao Yulu wouldn\'t say more, it was useless to keep asking.
"Min Min, I\'d like to leave first. You go ahead and find somewhere to eat, sorry for dragging you out today only to leave first," Zhao Yulu apologized.
"It\'s okay, I\'ll just grab something casual to eat. Yu Lu, I don\'t know what\'s going on with you, your sister, and brother-in-law, but I want to say, we\'re all family, and it\'s better to talk things out," Li Minmin advised, believing there to be a conflict between Zhao Yulu and Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.

"Mm, I understand. I have to go now, goodbye," Zhao Yulu took a taxi and left.
"Well, I can\'t dine at Yang\'s Restaurant; I\'ll have to settle for fast food," Li Minmin said resignedly, shaking her head. She glanced back at Yang\'s Restaurant one last time before walking away to find a nearby diner to eat.
