Chapter 377 Unexpected News
In the next half an hour, they bombarded Lyra with questions, from her family background to her academic career. However, apart from her parents who were not alive, Lyra was good at everything. When she heard that she, a woman, was actually running an investment company, Old Lady Forrest looked at her with eyes that could hardly hide her appreciation. She even asked in front of Xuanze, “Miss Jones, your condition is so good, why did you choose him? He has a five-year-old child.” The patience between Xuanze’s eyebrows was almost worn out. “It’s too rude of you to ask this.” Lyra gave him a reassuring look, then smiled at Old Lady Forrest and said, “My conditions are not so good. After all, I am a divorced woman.” She spoke about this matter so calmly and looked calm. Xuanze clenched his fists. Ni’er also felt that the atmosphere was very awkward and hid beside Lyra. “So you are divorced. No wonder, then the two of you are really a good match. Like | said, if she was a miss of a rich family, how could she like him?” Their attitude towards Lyra changed in an instant. Moreover, their eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. They were completely different from when they exchanged business cards with Lyra just now. “Don’t go too far.” Xuanze’s face darkened. “What’s wrong? She said it herself. That’s right. She clearly knows that she has shortcomings. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be with a widower like you who has a child.” The more they said, the more cunning they became.

omforted the child and handed Ni’er to the nanny.
Seeing the child walk up the stairs, the coldness on Xuanze’s face became stronger. After Ni’er went upstairs, his first reaction was to take Lyra away. “So much for today.”
He really did not want these people to run amok in his house. “It doesn’t matter.” Lyra shook her head. Xuanze’s heart tightened. “But…” “I am a divorced woman. You do have a child with you. There is nothing to hide.” At that moment, Xuanze understood what Lyra had not said. In any case, this was just a show.
What did it matter if it were true or not? To her, the accusations and discussions of these strangers were nothing at all. A hint of regret flashed through Xuanze’s usually deep eyes.
Unfortunately, it was just a show.
Lyra turned around and looked at those people. “Everyone, do you still have any questions?”
Her natural and unrestrained manner revealed the schemes of those people.
