But was it too late for it?
Lu Lan's face turned sour hearing the name of Si Li. Before coming here, she called him several times but his phone was still switched off.
If he had some important work, he should have left a note for her. It was not that she was an unreasonable woman who did not understand his work.
Moreover, since she had learned about his involvement in the underworld business, she started worrying about him more.
God knew where was he?
Was he alright?
Did something happen to him?
There were many questions roaming in her mind made her have a headache.
"He is some important work so he has gone for it." Lu Lan lied because she did not know where Si Li was.
Elder Lu nodded in understanding. He believed Si Li would protect his granddaughter well.
At that moment, the door knocked as Elder Lu's assistant came in. "Chairman Lu, there are some shareholders who want to talk to you in private."
Elder Lu's assistant's eyes darted at Lu Lan and then back Elder Lu awkwardly.
Lu Lan understood meaning under his gaze and volunteered. "Grandfather, I will meet you in the conference room."
With that, Lu Lan left Elder Lu's office but unexpectedly, Lu Yaohua's assistant was waiting for her. "Ms. Lu, CEO Lu wants to meet you. This way please."
Lu Lan's brows furrowed hearing his words and seeing his gesture.
Lu Lan knew what was going to happen in the meeting and also knew why Lu Yaohua wanted to meet her now.
How ironic that Lu Yaohuao had never bothered to talk to her. Not even when her true identity was revealed.
And now that Elder Lu wanted to reveal her identity and perhaps, make her the CEO of Lu Corporation, Lu Yaohua had decided to have a talk with her.
Was he planning to intimidate her so that she would leave before the meeting started?
Well, looking at this assistant's gesture, Lu Lan could not help but sneer as she knew her thoughts were true.
Now she wanted to see how Lu Yaohua would want to intimidate her.
Without bothering about the assistant, Lu Lan walked forward to go to Lu Yaohua's office voluntarily.
The assistant sighed a relief. He was worried that Lu Lan would deny and it would cause a scene. The atmosphere was already tensed in Lu Corporation which only higher-ups could sense and the people related to them.
Soon, Lu Lan reached Lu Yaohua's office. Lu Yaohua's visage was stiff as he was anxiously waiting for Lu Lan. He worried for a similar reason his assistant was.
Lu Yaohua gave an eye to his assistant who understanding left the office by closing the door.
Lu Yaohua relaxed a little bit and said. "Come sit."
Lu Lan's visage was still cold as she said sternly. "I don't think we are close enough to have a talk while sitting. Just say what you want to say."
Lu Yaohua's brows knitted hearing her. He could see that Lu Lan standing in front of her had changed from what she used to.
Of course, all thanks to Si Li's efforts.
"Fine is that you want." Lu Yaohua also did not bother to being fake and said directly. "In today's meeting your grandfather wants you to be CEO of this company and I want you to deny for this position."
"And why should I do that?" Lu Lan scowled. She crossed her arms in front of her c.h.e.s.t.
"Don't try to be ignorant. You know Lu Corporation's shares rightfully belong to Xiao Xuelon. It would be better for you to hand over those shares to Xiao Xuelon. If you do that I will acknowledge you as my daughter." Lu Yaohua's words were self-rightfully as if he was favoring her.
There were no traces of love and guilt in his eyes.
But since Si Li had kidnapped Lu Xuolen and destroy her career, Lu Yaohua's guilt dissipated.
Moreover, Elder Lu had given forty percent shares to Lu Lan and had planned to kick Lu Yaohua out to make her CEO. Now Lu Yaohua despised her.
Lu Yaohua kicked Li Na out of his life once Shu Han-You became pregnant then why would he care for Lu Lan when she tried to take his things?
He was an egocentric man and there was nothing wrong with it.
Every person was selfish in this world so why did he need to feel guilt?
Right?
Yes, every person was selfish so was Lu Lan.
She was not like her mother who was kicked out after being done useful to some selfish people.
"Is that all you want to say or something left out? Because say it now. I won't give my precious time to a person like you once I become CEO." Lu Lan said nonchalantly.
"You…" Lu Yaohua could not believe that she did not bother to think about the offer he had given to her.
He knew she had been trying very hard to get accepted by Lu Family's members then what happened now?
It seemed she had forgotten the value of the family which she was yearning for in the addiction to power.
However, what Lu Yaohua did not know was that Lu Lan already had a family, Si Family. Everyone there loved her without putting any condition.
"Fine. Then don't blame us." A steely voice came from behind.
At that time, Sha Han-You and Lu Xuelon entered Lu Yaohua's office with four burly men, holding bats in their hands.
