Chapter 120: Miss Lu Misses Me (2)
On the front page of the news report, there was indeed an image of her father being taken away by the government officials from the Lu Firm. This piece of news had caused a huge reaction from the outside world, but there was no clear reason as to why this was being investigated, and many questions were being asked.
Now that the president of the Lu Firm was under investigation, such negative news would surely impact the company’s stock market! The board of directors would surely use this opportunity to make some moves against him!
Lu Manman pursed her lips and did not react.
“It’s nothing serious. Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything illegal.” Lu Zishan was fully focused on comforting his wife.
“Old Lu, don’t lie to me.” He Xiuwen looked at him worriedly.
“Why would I lie to you? Do you really think that the person who has shared a bed with you for so many years is a bad person?” Lu Zishan was still joking, and there really wasn’t anything unusual about him. “Moreover, am I not standing here right now?”
“You scared me.” He Xiuwen heaved a sigh of relief, but her eyes went red. “I was afraid something would happen to you!”
“Look at you. You’re already so old, but you’re still crying in front of a child. Isn’t that embarrassing?” Lu Zishan teased as he hugged He Xiuwen.
He Xiuwen wiped her tears and grumbled. “It’s all for you!”
Lu Manman watched her parents interact.
It was good to be like this in one’s life.
At least, she felt it was blissful.
Her eyes flickered.
Her cell phone rang all of a sudden. She looked at the incoming call and at the loving expression on her parents’ faces. She did not want to disturb them anymore and instead headed to the second floor. As she walked, she picked up the call. “Wen Yun.”
“I saw on the news that you’re in trouble,” Wen Yun said sarcastically.
Lu Manman pursed her lips. “So you want to see me make a fool of myself?”
“Don’t think of me that way, Lu Manman. After all, we’re a couple. I’m just concerned about you.”
“Thank you for your kindness.” Lu Manman sneered.
“You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need my help with, feel free to look for me. Even if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends,” Wen Yun said artfully. It was obvious what he meant. If Lu Manman was willing to compromise, he could help her with her father’s matter.
“No need.” Lu Manman rejected him directly. “We’re not lovers or friends.”
“Lu Manman, you’re asking for it! In the end, you’ll be begging me on your knees!” Wen Yun suddenly screamed.
He probably hadn’t expected Lu Manman to be this calm and composed even at this point. Moreover, she did not even care about him.
He was very clear that a smart person like Lu Manman would know that the Wen family was definitely the mastermind of this incident. But after all this time, Lu Manman actually did not take the initiative to look for him. Instead, he called her to remind her of his capabilities, but this woman did not seem like she wanted to compromise at all.
He was suppressing the anger in his heart. He really wanted to see how Lu Manman would end up!
In front of him with a pathetic and regretful look!
He wanted Lu Manman to know that he, Wen Yun, only needed to move a finger and this so-called aristocratic family would be crushed in his palm!
“Don’t worry, Wen Yun. You won’t have to wait until that day.” Her voice was still calm and composed.
Wen Yun was so angry he was about to vomit blood. He did not say a word and just hung up the phone!
He tightened his grip on the cell phone, his veins bulging.
Did Lu Manman really think she was that capable? Or was she just indifferent about Lu Zishan’s safety?
He pursed his lips, and his expression turned sinister.
