Chapter 883 - You Seem To Be Very Free (1

When Lu Shu compared her and Li Yan to himself and his late wife, a glint flashed across Lu Xiangtian’s eyes, but his expression did not change. He sighed and said, “Forget it, forget it. Do whatever you want. How long has it been since that kid last came home?”

It had to be said that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. Lu Xiangtian’s questions today were really more and more heart-wrenching.

Lu Shu’s expression changed slightly, and she said, a little embarrassed, “It’s already been four or five days.”

“Four or five days! As a husband, he actually hasn’t been home for four or five days. Does he think the world revolves around him? This is outrageous, this is outrageous. No, I have to discipline him properly! I can’t let him bully you like this again!”

Lu Shu immediately panicked when she heard Lu Xiangtian’s words. Her relationship with Li Yan was already strained enough. If Lu Xiangtian interfered again, who knew if it would backfire and scare him away?!

“Dad, no, no, no… Don’t meddle in this matter. I know what to do.”

“You know what to do? Do you know what to do? How did you end up in this position if you did? If you know what to do, how could that kid bully you like this? That kid…”

“Dad!” Lu Shu saw that Lu Xiangtian was getting more and more ridiculous, so she finally couldn’t help but shout and cut off Lu Xiangtian’s words, “I don’t think Brother Yan bullied me. We’re just having a little bit of a falling-out like a regular couple. Dad, you know how stubborn Brother Yan is. He won’t take no for an answer. I beg you, leave it alone. I have ways to get him back to me. Just watch and don’t get involved, okay?”

Lu Xiangtian’s eyes turned cold. “Are you saying that you want your father out of your life?”

Lu Shu was stunned. She quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Xiangtian’s hand. She said coquettishly, “Of course not. I’m more than happy that you are thinking of me so much. Why would not want you in my life? I just think that it’s a small matter, to put it bluntly. If you have to step in, it’ll be truly embarrassing for me. I can handle it myself.”

In the past, whenever Lu Shu showed such an expression, Lu Xiangtian would compromise for her no matter how determined he was. It was the same this time.

Lu Xiangtian took one last look at Lu Shu and snorted coldly. “Forget it, forget it. Do whatever you want. You’re an adult now and have your own opinions. I can’t control you anymore.”

“Dad!” Lu Shu saw that Lu Xiangtian had relented and heaved a huge sigh of relief. However, she did not forget to keep up the cute act.

......

The old butler brought the last bowl of soup to the table as the father and daughter were talking. He interrupted their conversation at the right time. “The dishes are all served.”

“The dishes are all served?” Lu Xiangtian exchanged a glance with the old butler. “Alright, you can all leave now.”

The old butler nodded knowingly and left with the others, leaving only the two of them at the dining table.

“You ate a little too much. I asked the kitchen to specially prepare all your favorite dishes for you.”

Lu Shu nodded and didn’t pay much attention to it. Before this, Lu Xiangtian had often asked her to stay at home for dinner, and he always prepared all her favorite dishes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just like usual, the two of them finished a sumptuous dinner. No matter what, Lu Xiangtian was an old veteran. As long as he didn’t want to, Lu Shu wouldn’t notice anything strange from him.

After dinner, Lu Shu was planning to go home just like that. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiangtian made a request first. “Stay here tonight. Don’t go back.”

Lu Shu was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly, “But Brother Yan…”

“Since he hasn’t been back for four or five days, we can’t be surprised by a sixth or seventh. It doesn’t matter whether he comes back or not. At least I am here. Or do you not want to see me that much?”

Lu Shu was shocked again when she heard that. She thought that although Lu Xiangtian had promised not to lay a hand on Li Yan, he was still angry. She quickly compromised. “Dad, what are you talking about? Alright, alright. I’llaccompany you.”

“Alright, I’ll get the housekeeper to clean up your room. It’s your old room. I have been keeping it in good order for you.”

“Alright.”

Lu Shu did not suspect anything. After spending the night at the Lu residence, Lu Shu accompanied Lu Xiangtian for breakfast the next morning before leaving in the car.

However, what she did not know was that not long after she left, Lu Xiangtian, who had been escorting her to the door, immediately hid away the smile on his face and turned around to go upstairs.

The moment he walked up the stairs, he saw the old butler walking out of Lu Shu’s old room. He was holding a comb in his hand, and there were a few strands of hair on the comb, Lu Shu’s hair.

After sending Lu Xiangtian away that day, although Zhao Youlin was curious about the results of Lu Xiangtian’s investigation, she also knew that this matter couldn’t be rushed, so she could only wait patiently with an uneasy heart.

Zhao Youlin returned to the Zhao group to work not long after giving birth. She went from General Manager to President. Although she was not used to it at first, as she gradually became familiar with the business, and with the help of Xiao Jingyao and the other old-timers… Zhao Yifei, Zhao Youming, and the other black sheep were no longer around. The old foxes on the board of directors had no place to stir up trouble, even if they wanted to. In addition to the swift and decisive reorganization of the old master… he had given them a great show of force, and now they were much more well-behaved, greatly reducing Zhao Youlin’s workload. Zhao Youlin was getting more and more comfortable in the company.

“Are there any major problems in the company recently?” Zhao Youlin sat in the office, flipping through the documents in her hands as she routinely asked about the recent situation of the company.

However, she did not receive an answer after asking this time. She frowned and looked up, only to find Xiao Li standing in front of her desk, staring blankly ahead. She was clearly distracted. Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows and coughed lightly to pull Xiao Li back to her senses.

Xiao Li was startled when she heard Zhao Youlin’s cough. She hurriedly said, “President… President, what did you say just now?”

Zhao Youlin found it funny and simply closed the document in her hand. “I just asked if there were any major events in the company recently.”

“What major events? No, the company has been doing well in all aspects recently. There aren’t any major events.”

Zhao Youlin looked at Xiao Li’s serious look and could not help but laugh again. “Okay, if there aren’t any major events in the company, are you experiencing any major events yourself?”

Xiao Li’s face was red, and she stammered, “I… What could be important to me?”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows and said with a chuckle, “For example, did anyone confess to you? Did anyone propose to you? Aren’t these all important things? Your marriage is important.”
