1559 Angry Lu Lijun
Although Mister Hao was initially shocked, he swiftly grasped the situation and spoke, "President Lu, please forgive her. Eliana is still young and bound to make mistakes. Please do not mind her and enjoy the lunch before it gets cold."
Jiang Yuyan looked at him, "Mister Hao, apologies. We won't be continuing this lunch." She stood up, and the proud man next to her did the same.
For the first time in front of strangers, she had admitted being his wife—what more could he ask for. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Mister Hao understood there was no way of insisting, as once Jiang Yuyan decided something, she would not back down. If she had already stood up, she wouldn't sit back.
He stood up, "It's alright, President Lu. Maybe next time. Once again, I apologize on my daughter's behalf. I hope it won't affect our business deals."
Jiang Yuyan offered him a light nod and turned to leave, holding Lu Lijun's hand, asserting her authority over him.
Reaching the door, Jiang Yuyan stopped and looked back at Mister Hao once more, "I believe Mister Hao is aware of the meaning of privacy."
The man immediately nodded, "Of course, President Lu. No words from today's meeting would go out. I give you my word." The man was aware he could not divulge the shocking news he learned today.
Once the two left, Mister Hao sat back and looked at his still shocked daughter, "You almost got us into trouble. Remember not to have any other thoughts about Lu Lijun. You can mess up with anyone but President Lu."

Eliana stood up from the chair and walked towards the door, unwilling to engage in conversation with her father.
"We are not done talking yet, Eliana," the man said coldly as he stood up as well, "Remember not to have any other thoughts about Lu Lijun. You can mess up with anyone but President Lu."
She turned around and looked at her father, her gaze angry, "What's so special about that old woman, and why are you always so wary of her? To me, she seems nothing more than a greedy woman enjoying luxury after her dead husband's substantial wealth. Now she has her hands on the young handsome man, who is her brother-in-law and much younger than her. It's her ploy to not give up on that immense wealth, as Lu Lijun will take the position of the next president. She simply can't give up on the luxury. A lecherous woman."
"Eliana, shut up."
Lu Lijun finally registered his words; his bloodshot eyes stared at the man, "Don't go back on your words. Take this trash away from this city," and walked out of the room after placing the file in his hand on the table.
He had returned to give one file to Mister Hao, but when he reached the door, he heard his daughter trash-talking about Jiang Yuyan, and he could not take it any longer. How dare she say such things about Jiang Yuyan who was nothing like what this brazen girl has said. After he stepped out of the room, he inhaled deeply, calming his anger and returning to his relaxed self before going back to Jiang Yuyan, who was waiting for him at the lounge area. He didn't wish to let her know anything that happened inside the room.
"Done?" Jiang Yuyan asked, referring to why he went to see mister Hao again.
He nodded, "I gave him the file," and held her hand to walk out.

Inside the private room.
"Dad," Eliana cried, "He dared...."
"Shut up," the man scolded her, "No more words now. I really have spoiled you. You are leaving this city tomorrow first thing in the morning."
"I won't...."
"Don't make me force my way out. You better be obedient, or I will pass all the inheritance to your cousin."
She shut her mouth and continued to cry silently. Her cheek felt like it was on fire, and her jaw felt almost dislocated.
The updates won't be daily. It would be random twice or thrice a week with two or more chapters at a time. Be patient with updates.
