Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife
Chapter 168: Two men confront each other in the parking lot

The next day, things went just as Lauren had expected, and the newspapers were full of stories about her revealing her identity with Shangguan Baocheng at the reception. Looking at the exaggerated reports in the newspaper, Lauren's red lips, raised a cold smile.

Slowly putting down the newspaper in her hand, Lauren was in a great mood and picked up a piece of apple and put it in her own mouth, savoring the sweetness inside. "Miss, you seem to be in a very good mood today. Did the young master do something to make you happy?"

With a smile on her face, Wang's mother carried a cup of fresh milk and placed it by Lauren's hand.

"It's nice, except it's not your young master that makes me happy. Rather, it's what's in the newspaper."

"I've read this newspaper too, only I really wonder why there are such outrageous things reported in the newspaper, it's simply ridiculous, how can Miss be Shangguan Baocheng's daughter?" The corners of Lauren's mouth rose slightly, curling into a light smile.

"Wang Ma, the contents of this newspaper are true. And everything was arranged by your young master, you wouldn't think that the young master, who always has a shrewd image in your mind, would do such a thing, would you?"

Lauren is full of sarcasm towards Matthew.

"Impossible, the young master won't do that, Miss. Li, just don't joke with me like that."

Wang's mother looked at Lauren with a smile on her face, completely taking what Lauren just said, as a joke.

The corner of Lauren's mouth, lifted a light smile.

"Wang Ma, do you think I would joke with you about this matter?"

Seeing the serious expression on Lauren's face, Wang Ma was a bit suspicious, could it be that what she just said was true? The young master really did this thing that is against his principles? "Well, I'm a little tired now and want to go upstairs to rest, from now on, don't let anyone disturb me, I want to get a good night's sleep."

After saying that, ignoring Wang's mother's face of dismay, Lauren turned around and walked towards the room upstairs.

Lauren, who was lying on the bed, did not close her eyes, and her mind kept on thinking about the meeting with Shangguan Baocheng. A scene is like a movie in her mind. 'Ring, ring, ring,' the phone rang, bringing Lauren out of her deep thoughts.

Looking at the phone that kept ringing, Lauren didn't pick it up immediately because she knew that Matthew had instructed that all calls needed to be answered personally by Wang's mother. But to Lauren's surprise, the phone rang for half a day, but Wang's mother did not pick up the phone.

Looking at the phone that kept ringing, Lauren didn't want to be disturbed, so she had to pick up the phone.

"I'm Lauren, which one is looking for."

Since she didn't know the identity of the other person, Lauren was very friendly.

"I'm Emily."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Lauren's heart hard. She didn't know how to face Emily, who had gone from being her best friend to her niece all of a sudden.

As if she knew what was on Lauren's mind, Emily also had a brief pause when her name was announced, but it was she who finally broke the calm.

"Lauren, I want to see you, and I want to see you now."

Emily's voice was full of calm, so calm that it was frightening.

Lauren originally did not want to agree to Emily's request, but after thinking about it for a while, she agreed to Emily's request.

"Okay, wait for me at the cafe where we last met, I'll be there in half an hour."

After saying that, Lauren hung up the phone decisively, grabbed her car keys and bag by her side, and walked out of the room.

"Miss. Li, where are you going with this?"

Wang's mother happened to come out of the kitchen and saw Lauren walking towards the door, she hurriedly stopped in front of Lauren with a worried look.

"I have something to go out, Wang Ma, you don't have to prepare my dinner, I will come back after I have eaten outside."

Pushing Wang's mother away, Lauren resolutely walked out of the courtyard, drove the car Matthew allotted to her, and left the Yin's family mansion. Looking at Lauren driving away in her car, Wang's mother's heart, there was an ominous feeling, as if something bad was going to happen.

She rushed back to the living room, picked up the phone on the table, and plucked Matthew's number.

"Wang Ma, what is it?"

The call was only thought for a few seconds before Matthew picked up the phone.

"Young master, Miss. Li has driven out and looks in a hurry, and she won't let me prepare her dinner, do you think she will be alright?" Wang's mom rushed to tell Matthew about Lauren's going out.

"Do you know who she went out with?"

Hearing Wang's mother's words, Matthew, who was in a meeting, hurriedly walked out of the conference room. Returned to his office.

"I don't know, but Miss. Li seems to have taken a phone call and left. I just checked that phone number and it's a pay phone."

"A pay phone?"

Matthew is getting more and more surprised that with everyone having a cell phone nowadays, who else would use a pay phone? Unless there is an ulterior motive. "Wang Ma, you keep plucking this pay phone, I'll be back in a minute,"

With Matthew's instructions, Wang's mother continued to pluck the phone number, hoping to ask something through

other party.

Matthew, who hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys from his desk and left the office.

"President, there's a meeting for managers and above in a moment, where are you going?"

Seeing Matthew wind up wanting to leave, Secretary Zhou hurriedly stopped in front of him and told Matthew about the next itinerary.

"Cancel all trips, this afternoon, and I won't be back."

After saying that, Matthew stepped into his own exclusive elevator and headed directly in the direction of the parking lot, despite the secretary's stop.

When he arrived at his car, the keys were not yet in the car when he saw the door being opened and a man stepping out of his car.

"Shangguan Xu, instead of staying by Emily's side, you ran to my place. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to your precious princess?"

When he saw Shangguan Xu, Matthew did not have any surprise. Instead, he stood straight in front of Shangguan Xu, two men of equal stature, with the same icy chill emanating from their bodies. Matthew's deep eyes, always locked tightly on Shangguan Xu's body. There was no retreat.

"Say, what is it that you want from me? If nothing, get out of the way and don't delay my next trip." Matthew's face was a little impatient, not wanting to waste all his time, on Shangguan Xu's body.

Shangguan Xu's face still wore an icy expression, but the corners of his mouth lifted into a shallow smile.

"CEO Yin, it's really rare that you actually know my name, but this can also prove that you Matthew is indeed not an ordinary man, Shangguan Baocheng did not underestimate you." Shangguan Xu leaned on the car door and had no intention of letting Matthew get in.

"Shangguan Xu, go back and tell Shangguan Baocheng, the game has just started, I will make everything, all according to my plan, as for you, if you stay by Emily's side. Seeing the relationship between Emily and Lauren, I can let her go, but you have to remember, make sure to warn her, don't be making some small moves, or I won't let her go."

Matthew looked at Shangguan Xu with a smile on his face, but the words of warning burst out between his lips, a pair of dark black eyes, but locked tightly on Shangguan Xu's face.

Shangguan Xu lifted a pair of provocative eyes and looked at Matthew with defiance.

"Matthew, if you love Lauren so much, why don't you choose to admit it? Instead, you choose to let the woman you love be hurt by you over and over again?"

Shangguan Xu's words, like a sharp knife, stabbed Matthew's heart fiercely.

Matthew's face, there was a momentary flash of concentration, although only a moment, but still by the sharp-eyed Shangguan Xu captured a right.

Shangguan Xu showed a smile of understanding.

"Matthew, although there are very few opportunities for us to deal with each other, but I have always seen you as a man on high, today your reaction, really let me down, you actually do not even have the courage to admit your lover, let me look down on you a little."

Shangguan Xu lifted a pair of eyes full of provocation and looked at Matthew whose face was turning more and more iron blue.

"Shangguan Xu, get out of the way, if there's nothing going on, don't block me, I don't want to waste my time on a man."

As time went on, Matthew became more and more impatient and saw that Shangguan Xu had no intention of moving. He simply pushed Shangguan Xu away, sat in the car and stepped on the gas pedal. "CEO Yin, you're in such a hurry, you're not going to replace Lauren, are you?"

A word from Shangguan Xu made Matthew, who had already stepped on the gas and intended to leave, stop the car and roll down the window.

"Shangguan Xu, what do you mean by that?"

Shangguan Xu waved his hand. A profound smile appeared on his face.

"There's no point, CEO Yin, you'd better replace your woman quickly, or nothing will happen to your woman and no one will be able to guarantee it."

Matthew opened the door with force, stepped out of the car, came to Shangguan Xu's front, grabbed his collar, and looked at Shangguan Xu with an iron face.

"Shangguan Xu, tell me clearly, that phone call looking for Lauren to go out, was it you who made it?"

Shangguan Xu shook his head and pushed Matthew away with force.

"Matthew, I can tell you plainly that I didn't make that call, but I still urge you to think hard about what would call Lauren, and think for yourself,"

After saying that, Shangguan Xu gave Matthew a profound smile and turned around to leave the parking lot. Looking at Shangguan Xu's departing back, the uneasiness in Matthew's heart grew stronger and stronger. He hurriedly got into the car, started it, and drove outside.
