The atmosphere at the scene grew tense. Everyone held their breath, and even the sound of camera shutters stopped.
At this moment, the old man suddenly slapped the table and stood up without even grabbing his walking stick.
His lips trembled constantly. The temper that seemed about to erupt the next second never came.
Wen Sining also stood up anxiously. The old man's health had always been poor. It would be a great loss if something happened to him because of these matters.
"Grandpa Lu, your health is of utmost importance. The orientation of your company is quite different from ours. Maybe cooperation is really not suitable," Wen Sining quickly explained, hoping that the old man could calm down.
These words sounded like self - deception to the old man, a cover - up just to make himself feel better.
The old man waved his hand, signaling her not to interfere. The imposing manner of the head of the Lu Group instantly overwhelmed everyone. Lu Luochen also swallowed hard and fell silent.
"You unfilial son. Do you really think I don't know what you've done for this woman?" the old man glared angrily.
Uncle Bai, also an elderly man, knew this was a precursor to an illness. If the old man really got sick, no one would stand up for the madam.
He quickly called the family doctor and then followed the old man closely, supporting him firmly. His eyes also conveyed a message to Lu Luochen, telling him not to anger his grandfather anymore.
Yun Chutong finally got scared in this situation. If the old man said a single word to ruin her future, she would really have no hope.
She had finally climbed to this position, sacrificing her innocence and reputation. If she lost everything here, it would be better to simply admit her mistakes.
Lu Luochen was reluctant to let his beloved woman be wronged, but he was willing to sacrifice a fool, making an innocent person take the blame.
"Grandpa, Chutong is the one I've chosen," Lu Luochen finally showed some backbone and said what was on his mind. He would no longer give up anyone for the sake of family status.
"Really?"
At this moment, Lu Luochen seemed to have found something he was determined to obtain. All his pressure disappeared at once.
"Really."
Along with these two words came Yun Chutong's apology. This beautiful woman, all wrapped in bandages, actually knelt on the ground sincerely.
Her tearful look made the reporters below feel pity.
Sure enough, Amanda, who was at the peak of her popularity, was not only beautiful, kind - hearted, and a great actress. What was even more praiseworthy was her spirit of being willing to sacrifice for her lover.
Wen Sining couldn't stand their submissive looks the most. Clearly, it was Yun Chutong who had forced others into a corner, yet she could still distort the truth.
"What on earth are you guys up to today?"
Wen Sining simply stepped forward and took all the blame.
The old man trembled more visibly. He heard the word "really".
Wen Sining also looked at Grandpa Lu, signaling with her eyes for the old man to calm down. She would handle everything. He should take care of his health.
In full view of everyone, Uncle Bai helped the old man to his seat. After settling him with water and medicine, he stood behind Wen Sining.
This was a sign of his support.
Lu Luochen felt uncomfortable. He was the old man's grandson after all.
"Don't blame him. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told Luochen about my grievances," Yun Chutong changed her direction and bowed to the old man.
She even told the old man about the conditions they had discussed before, with a plaintive tone.
"Grandpa Lu, please don't break us up anymore. We truly love each other. Even if he's already married, I'm willing to wait. Even if I can only be a concubine, I'll stay quietly and won't cause you any trouble."
Just listen to this! Is this something a decent person would say?
Wen Sining was extremely angry. Her fists were clenched. If this woman dared to talk nonsense, she would punch her.
Lu Luochen, different from ordinary people, was deeply touched.
The old man said "good" three times in a row and pointed at the two of them with his outstretched hand.
"This is the good grandson I've raised!"
"Son and daughter - in - law, I'm sorry! After raising this boy for so long, I've made him so arrogant. From today on, all of Lu Luochen's powers in the Lu Group will be taken back. Only the part he earned by himself will be retained."
After saying this, the old man rolled his eyes and fainted straight away. There was an uproar all around.
This pair of ill - fated lovers, Lu Luochen and Yun Chutong, would no longer receive the blessing of the world. Their happiness... was probably gone.
Wen Sining was also shocked by this situation. In the chaos, she rushed towards the old man, but found a red - eyed man blocking her way.
"This is the result Miss Wen wanted. The Lu family is in such a mess. Miss Wen, please come back another day to discuss matters," the man said in a heavy tone. Wen Sining still felt frightened even after getting in the car.
She told the driver to make a turn to make sure no one was following them. Then Wen Sining quietly went to the backyard to change her clothes. After returning to her room, she ran downstairs along the stairs, shouting.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Grandpa, don't scare me."
She was as anxious as a fawn, quickly running over. While pushing aside the people blocking her way, she also pushed away all the obstructive things.
First of all, she ensured good air circulation.
"Please get out of the way quickly. You're blocking the doctor," she shouted.
The reporters looked at this strange girl and carefully recalled what Miss Wen had said before. Could this be the mysterious Mrs. Lu?
Wen Sining's appearance completely disrupted Yun Chutong's plan. Originally, Yun Chutong wanted to drag her half - disabled leg and lie beside the old man to act and gain sympathy.
"Who are you? Why are you lying beside Grandpa?" Wen Sining's innocent face and cheerful tone made Yun Chutong unable to tell if this was really a fool.
But the next second, a heavy slap landed on Yun Chutong's face, followed by a push.
"Are you stupid? Grandpa is sick, and you're still lying on him. Do you want to crush Grandpa to death?"
Wen Sining was just taking revenge. She had disliked Yun Chutong for a long time. Lying on the old man's heart like this was simply harming him.
Lu Luochen didn't even have time to react to this series of actions. Wen Sining successfully squeezed beside the old man and saw that he seemed to have had a stroke.
She silently cursed these people in her heart and quickly called the family doctor over. Waving her little hand, she said to them.
"Come quickly. Grandpa's eyes are rolled back and his body is twitching."
The regular family doctors were all good hands in the hospital. One of them shouted at the top of his voice, "Let me through quickly. The old man has had a stroke!"
Lu Luochen said nothing and made proper arrangements on the side. He made sure that the reporters would not spread the news of the old man's stroke when they left.
But he couldn't guarantee other things. Lu Luochen had called them to the old mansion with the intention of making Yun Chutong public and tying the two of them together.
