The main building of the Lu family was eerily quiet.
Uncle Li, who had just come in, now had an urge to go out. He really couldn't bear to stay here any longer.
"Uncle Li, do you think... are we really in danger?" Su Mengmeng nervously grabbed the sleeve of the person beside her. "My parents won't be in real danger, will they?"
Since they got off the car, Uncle Li could tell that this girl was definitely more likable than the act she put on in the villa.
He snorted with a laugh. "Don't worry. The young master will handle this."
Because he knew that Lu Jinsheng was definitely not the kind of person who would stand by and watch others in danger. Moreover, if Lu Ziqian really caused any trouble, it would be very troublesome to clean up the mess in the end.
At this moment.
Lu Ziqian's anger flared up instantly. Hearing such nonsense from his own son, he clenched his fists, coughed, and pointed at Lu Jinsheng's face.
"You brat. I've told you so many times. What on earth is so special about that woman that you like her so much?" He trembled all over. "Do you really have to force me to stop taking my medicine and die in front of you before you're satisfied?"
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng showed no trace of pity or fear. He behaved just as he usually did, or even more calmly.
There was a frost in his eyes as he spoke. "Father, since I still call you this, I hope you'll stop acting like this."
Lu Ziqian wanted to say something, but Lu Jinsheng didn't give him the chance.
"You can do whatever you want to target us, but please don't take advantage of a girl's most vulnerable heart. You'd better let her and her family go right away. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Before coming here, Lu Jinsheng had already made up his mind that if Lu Ziqian remained so stubborn, he would surely sever all ties with this man.
Now, Lu Jinsheng almost had control of the entire Lu Group, and his net worth had multiplied several times. Everyone knew that he was the most important figure in the Lu Group.
So even if Lu Ziqian had any ideas, he could only keep them to himself. He couldn't control his son's fate anymore.
Lu Jinsheng's repeated tolerance towards him might be out of consideration for their father - son relationship.
He understood these principles, but Lu Ziqian thought that everything he did was for his son's good. How could a father harm his own son?
Lu Jinsheng took a deep breath. "I know you think that Yiyi is just like my mother, without any background, and will surely cause trouble one day in this position. But I want to tell you that she is completely different from my mother."
Yes, his mother was too kind and gentle. She was a typical southern woman who wouldn't even raise her voice when angry.
Although neither of them had a strong background, Shen Jianyi knew the way to survive. As long as someone dared to hurt her, she would retaliate twice as much. That was why Lu Jinsheng dared to say this so boldly.
Seeing the proud look on Lu Jinsheng's face whenever he mentioned Shen Jianyi, Lu Ziqian wondered if he had really made a mistake.
However, he had lived most of his life and seen all kinds of things. He just turned a deaf ear to what his son said.
He said in a muffled, deep and hoarse voice, "If you really want me to accept her, bring her to the main building for dinner tomorrow. There will be no one else but our family of four. I want to make everything clear to her."
Lu Ziqian's sudden invitation to dinner made Lu Jinsheng extremely vigilant and suspicious.
Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ziqian explained, "Don't think too much. I have no other intentions. But if you're late again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
"Okay." Lu Jinsheng agreed and was about to leave.
When he passed by Uncle Li and saw the worried look on the girl's face, he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned back.
"Don't make things difficult for this girl anymore. She just wants to survive."
Lu Ziqian rubbed his aching temples. He knew it was useless to say more. He actually had no intention of really making things difficult for this girl, and her parents were no longer under his control.
He nodded and waved to the people over there. "Go quickly. I won't make things difficult for her parents anymore."
Su Mengmeng immediately smiled. On the way back, she kept thanking them all the way. Lu Jinsheng's ears were numb.
...
When Lu Jinsheng told Shen Jianyi this news, she fell into silence.
She even seemed absent - minded while watching her favorite program. Shen Jianyi didn't give any answer yet. She wasn't sure what Lu Ziqian's purpose was.
But then she thought that it was just a meal. What could he do? At most, he would find a woman she didn't like as before and try to match that woman with Lu Jinsheng.
"Then let's go." Shen Jianyi replied expressionlessly. The man beside her subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
However, Shen Jianyi forgot one thing -
Early the next morning.
Shen Jianyi had already gotten ready to go back to the main building of the Lu family with Lu Jinsheng to clear things up. If Lu Ziqian still tried to make things difficult for her at that time, there would be nothing she could do.
Just then.
The phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated. The woman took it out and saw that it was Zhao Tiantian calling.
Only then did Shen Jianyi remember that she had something very important to do. She immediately answered the phone, and Zhao Tiantian's anxious voice came from the other end. "President Shen, where are you now? President Wan has come, and there seem to be several other people."
Shen Jianyi frowned. "Where are they now?"
"They're in the reception room. I haven't gone down yet... I'm just waiting for your message."
It seemed that this was really a very tough choice. If Shen Jianyi didn't go to the company, the cooperation with the image ambassador of TG Jewelry would surely fall through.
But if she went to the company, things with Lu Ziqian would be even more troublesome. No matter which side she chose, the other side would be in a difficult situation.
The man had already driven the car over. He saw Shen Jianyi standing still, the phone pressed against her ear, not saying a word. She looked as if she was in a daze.
"Yiyi, what are you thinking about?"
The man's voice pulled her back to reality. She looked up and saw Lu Jinsheng staring intently at her.
The girl on the phone was still chattering non - stop. She took a deep breath and gave a reply. "I'll come right away. Let them wait for a while first."
