Chapter 545 Still Vigorous in Old Age
Since it was the weekend, Lu Mingye and Lu Wangshen naturally returned to the Lu family home.
The atmosphere at the Lu family is not good right now, and Lu Wangshen carefully changed to an expression that matched the atmosphere.
Lu Mingye looked at him, not very satisfied.
Lu Wangshen didn't go crazy with great excitement, firstly because he wasn't used to it, and secondly because it seemed like he was also dissatisfied with Lu Mingye.
Lu Mingye came back today to be questioned...
First, the Lu family needs to know what business he and Fu Sizhou were discussing, and why they've been gone for so long...
Secondly, he needs to explain his recent actions against the Lu family. Even if Old Master Lu has tacitly approved, he still needs to explain.
Although Lu Wangqian is not physically present, this situation is even more troublesome than if he were.
After all, Lu Wangqian was relatively easy to deal with, but with Ye Wanyin's super negative status binding him, he would be even easier to deal with.
But his absence actually gave his supporters more room to maneuver.
Regardless, due to the Lu family's rules, even if Lu Mingye had something to say, he had to listen to all this nonsense first...
Lu Wangshen responded with a look that said, "Whatever your problem with me, it's already a great thing that I'm back."
Lu Mingye shook his head.
Forget it, they can't appear to have a close relationship at home, so I'd better not talk to him.
Although the relationship was already bad to begin with!
However, it's best not to leave any room for misunderstanding.
They did appear at the wedding together last time, but that was because Ye Sanqing was present; the situation is different now.
Lu Xuening walked over at this moment, "Second brother, third brother".
"Aren't you going?" Lu Mingye nodded, then noticed she was going in the opposite direction and asked in confusion.
"I am not qualified to participate."
Lu Xuening smiled slightly.
She certainly wanted to go, but the fifth concubine refused her participation on the grounds that she had no property under her control.
Actually, this aspect shouldn't be so strict. After all, even though they are being groomed as potential marriage partners, they still need to have basic business knowledge.
Perhaps her recent contact with Gu Qingchuan aroused the Fifth Concubine's suspicion...
Lu Xuening knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. Although Gu Qingchuan said at the time, "What does this have to do with me?" his expression clearly showed that he was wavering.
"It's a good thing that you're not participating."
Lu Wangshen smiled meaningfully.
Regardless of the outcome of today's meeting, it's bound to be a long and drawn-out affair.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
The two watched Lu Xuening leave, then exchanged another glance.
The question on everyone's mind is the same: What exactly did Ye Sanqing see in her?
But whatever the answer to that question, they still had to do as Ye Sanqing said.
Lu Wangshen strode straight into the conference hall.
He really did drive in his wheelchair at high speed, so he almost ran over his third uncle's foot. Luckily, his third uncle was still strong and healthy, and jumped away.
"Lu Wangshen, what are you doing!"
Third Uncle scolded.
"Oh, you're so invisible that I can't see you."
Lu Wangshen said without any apology.
Third Uncle: ...
Just because someone is disabled, does that mean they can do whatever they want?
However, his third uncle was experienced in dealing with him and knew that if he continued this topic, Lu Wangshen would come up with a series of fallacies, such as that he would not be in a wheelchair if he had not been injured, and that he would not have bumped into anyone if he was not in a wheelchair.
The person who was hit shouldn't be holding him accountable; they should be holding the culprit accountable instead.
But that's impossible, so it's best not to give him the chance to pester you...
"Third Uncle is really quick-witted."
Lu Mingye followed him in and said.
Third Uncle was also a troublesome person; he was the type to be swayed by both sides.
In other words, if Lu Mingye's support is high, then he is on Lu Mingye's side, and vice versa.
Today's situation is likely the latter.
After all, everyone cares about their own vested interests. Today, they will definitely oppose Lu Mingye, which is tantamount to siding with Lu Wangqian.
Lu Dingzuo sat down... Hmm? Shouldn't he be sitting next to the old master? But the old master's seat is still empty.
It seems even the old man doesn't want to listen to their long-winded explanations...
Lu Dingzuo gave Lu Mingye a wink, and he obediently took his seat.
Lu Wangshen continued to express his opinions, stating that the height of the table was not suitable for disabled people, etc.
It's alright that they've started criticizing the Lu family's accessibility facilities...
After being criticized for about two hours, Lu Mingye finally had a chance to speak.
He needs to answer questions about his collaboration with Fu Sizhou first...
If it weren't for the need to seize the position of heir, he would have preferred to say that he hadn't discussed any nonsense cooperation and that he and Fu Sizhou were just dating.
Actually, no, but if you say that now, those old guys will definitely be furious.
At this point, you should say something, but you can't say everything.
"Of course it's about cooperation on trade routes... Do you think I need to show you the specific contracts? Gentlemen, this isn't the time for year-end audits. If I have to be called back to listen to two hours of nonsense every time I sign a contract, I think that's too inefficient."
Lu Mingye's expression was calm, and his tone was matter-of-fact.
"When did it become necessary to spend half a month to discuss cooperation with the Fu family?" A question immediately arose.
"Because I'm here too. Is there a problem?"
Lu Wangshen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
His quietness just now made everyone suspect he was asleep. His sudden appearance at a meeting he never attends seems to be just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Meeting Lu Mingye's gaze that seemed to ask, "When did you get here?", Lu Wangshen continued, "Because I called Fu Sizhou away to a date, that's why Lu Mingye took so long. The reason is that I wanted to make things difficult for him."
Everyone was in an uproar!
Lu Mingye: No, are there any services in this world that allow people to come out on their own behalf?
After saying this, Lu Wangshen revealed his signature sarcastic smile.
He's really good at acting. That way, no one will doubt his sexual orientation at all. Instead, they'll just think he's simply trying to annoy Lu Mingye.
And with him added as a variable, it seems... any lengthy negotiation can be forgiven? The outcome of the negotiation is quite good!
Everyone clearly knew Lu Wangshen's destructive power, and now some people were even casting sympathetic glances at Lu Mingye.
"I was wondering why my second brother was suddenly paying so much attention to President Fu..."
Lu Mingye also said meaningfully.
It sounds like he's unhappy that Lu Wangshen is ruining things, but it actually shows that Lu Wangshen is just causing trouble and has nothing to do with his sexual orientation.
It seems that this is something you can't face alone!
If it weren't for Lu Wangshen's sudden strange remarks, he probably wouldn't have been able to get away with this problem so easily.
Those who had previously questioned him could only sit down awkwardly now.
What followed was a series of events involving the sixth concubine...
Lu Mingye had to repeat himself: they had offended Ye Sanqing, which was why the Lu family had taken the initiative to sever ties.
After all, the strict investigation notices issued now aren't fake...
