Chapter 27

Having achieved her goal, He Youran looked at Lu Qingzhuo and said,

“Mr. Lu, thank you very much for your help, but let’s end this matter here.”

“Since Miss He isn’t going to pursue the matter, then forget it.” Lu Qingzhuo readily agreed.

When director Zhang heard their words, his heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed.

“Now that the matter has been settled, can we go to Drunken Cloud Pavilion now? Miss He, my grandmother is looking forward to seeing you again.”

Lu Qingzhuo extended his invitation.

He Youran didn’t like to socialize, but she still had to give him face since he had specially come to rescue her today.

“Okay.” She nodded.

“Pang Zhong.” Lu Qingzhuo glanced at Pang Zhong.

“Master.”

Pang Zhong had served Lu Qingzhuo for many years. He didn’t need to say much to understand what he meant.

“Miss He, please.”

Pang Zhong protected He Youran’s side and asked the bodyguards in black to open a path for her.

Everyone was envious when they saw her superior treatment.

Only Chen Man and He Xue’er had a strange glint in their eyes.

After Lu Qingzhuo and the others left, the people in the office dispersed as well. Chen Man held the card that she had lost and recovered in her hand. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Suddenly, she thought of something and took out her phone to make a call.

The call was quickly picked up. Through the receiver, a cold but pleasant female voice rang out.

“Hello?”

Upon hearing the other party’s voice, Chen Man’s attitude immediately changed drastically. Even though the other party could not see her, she still used a gentle and respectful tone to say,

“Miss He, I’m sorry to disturb you. It’s almost time for old Mr. He’s routine check-up. May I know when it’s convenient for you over there?”

“Next week.”

The other party’s words were concise.

However, Chen Man did not feel offended or neglected at all.

That was because the person on the phone was the He family’s eldest daughter, the He family of imperial capital.

To Chen Man, He Yaoxing was the true favored daughter of the heavens. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was born with everything that ordinary people could not have in their lifetime.

Not only that, she also had unparalleled beauty. Although she had a rich family background, she started her own business and opened an entertainment company. She was also a popular actress.

“Okay, then I’ll visit you on time next week,” Chen Man said carefully and pretended to mention it casually. “By the way, I seem to have seen young master Lu in Rong city a few days ago…”

When He Yaoxing heard the words “Young master Lu,” she could not help but frown.

She thought of the stupid woman who suddenly appeared in the hotel when she asked Lu Qingzhuo to cancel the engagement.

Although she did not like Lu Qingzhuo, to outsiders, the He and Lu families had been united through marriage for generations. It was a model of a strong alliance in the business circle.

If nothing unexpected happened, they were going to get married.

However, Lu Qingzhuo was fooling around outside. His stupid mistress had even provoked her to her face!

He Yaoxing was very angry. She had called Lu Qingzhuo many times, but without exception, he had hung up on her.

How dare he?

Lu Qingzhuo was a good-for-nothing who had been in a wheelchair all year round and had lost his sexual ability. How could he treat her like this? !

“Don’t ask about things that you shouldn’t ask about!”

He Yaoxing interrupted Chen Man in frustration.

“Also, remember, there will be no young master Lu soon!”

Lu Qingzhuo could not stand up again because of an accident. He had also lost his ability as a man and could not have his own children for the rest of his life.

His younger brother, Lu Qingliu, had been sick ever since he was born. He could only rely on daily injections to sustain his life. He probably wouldn’t be able to live for long.

Right now, the only person in charge of the Lu family was old madam Lu. However, old madam Lu was already very old. How long could she last?

Sooner or later, the Lu family would be taken over by the He family.

She was waiting to see if Lu Qingzhuo, that useless trash, would still be able to put on that annoying cold face after losing everything!
