Chapter 385 The strategist enters the game himself!
Although Wen Shumo had no obligation to keep the secret, he didn't have to go around making a fuss about it.
Moreover, Lu Mingye's current position within the Lu family is quite delicate.
He is, after all, the heir, and his current attitude is one of friendly contact. If this matter is exposed and the Lu family changes its heir as a result, it may not be good news for others.
Although there are a series of Lu brothers behind him, Lu Wangqian should be the one with the best chance.
After all... he is the eldest grandson of the main wife and has just gotten married, which is very much in line with the Lu family's values.
Lu Wangqian is in this state now. If he were to take back the position of heir, wouldn't he be out of control?
But even if you don't speak loudly... you can still speak softly.
After the two returned to their seats, Ye Sanqing shared the story in a low voice.
There's no way we could keep this from Ye Jin'er and Sheng Hanyu.
Ye Jin'er was unaware of this matter, and his first reaction was confusion.
"So, he knows Soren, but he didn't seem to specifically tell him not to reveal this."
"In other words, his power within the Lu family may be even more deeply entrenched than we thought," Sheng Hanyu added after some thought.
“That’s right,” Ye Sanqing nodded. “When he came over to say hello just now, he didn’t give Soren any warning look. Either he’s fearless or he has other plans.”
"What I mean is, we should remain inactive and pretend we know nothing about it," Ye Sanqing concluded.
She always felt that Lu Mingye's openness and lack of concealment made him even more suspicious.
Lu Mingye might be waiting for this reason to launch an internal reform within the Lu family, and she doesn't want to be the one to blow the whistle.
Ye Yifan is right; Lu Mingye is indeed someone we need to be careful dealing with.
Even though it had nothing to do with the strategy guide, his stance and attitude were extremely subtle.
If he just wants to take this opportunity to target Lu Wangqian or reform the Lu family, that's fine, but who knows if the dragon-slaying boy will become the new evil dragon?
The two nodded, and Sheng Hanyu then shared it with Gong Yao.
After all... they are all involved, so it's impossible for their information to be out of sync.
Gong Yao's eyes widened, thinking to himself, "Does that mean the Lu family line will die out if we don't care about them?"
However, she was only thinking about it, after all, Lu Mingye's bottom line was hard to say. The simplest thing was adoption, but he might do something even more extreme.
So... Nangong Wang looked at them and suddenly wondered if something had happened that only he was unaware of.
Yu Canling calmly sipped her tea, clearly already aware of the situation.
“I said…” Nangong Wang cast a gossipy look at Wen Shumo.
Wen Shumo had been reserved with him before because he always felt that Nangong Wang would shout loudly as soon as he heard about this... but things had already come to this point...
He subconsciously looked at Ye Sanqing, who nodded at him.
So Wen Shumo told Nangong Wang the truth quietly after warning him to keep it a secret.
"!!!" Nangong Wang was taken aback.
I can't tell at all! Could it be that I'm still straight...? No, I am straight, so isn't it normal that I can't tell?
He thought about it and felt that Lu Mingye was hiding his true intentions too well, but there must be evidence for everything he did! Wasn't the witness right next to him?
"So what does it mean that he and Fu Sizhou are wearing matching outfits? Are they going to get married at this time? Is that even acceptable?"
Nangong Wang muttered to himself, and Yu Canling laughed inexplicably upon hearing this.
"Uh." Wen Shumo didn't know what to say to him.
Actually, they weren't wearing matching outfits, because there aren't many colors to choose from for men's suits. To be honest, it's already quite remarkable that none of them wore the same color.
Fu Sizhou and Lu Mingye are both older than them, so it's normal for them to choose relatively subdued colors, such as black, dark gray, and dark blue.
Fu Sizhou is wearing a deep sea blue double-breasted suit today, but his cuffs have two gold trims, which seems to be based on the design concept of a captain's uniform.
Lu Mingye's suit was midnight blue and also double-breasted, so at first glance they looked very similar. However, Wen Shumo, a professional, could tell at a glance that the two suits were cut completely differently.
So the idea of matching outfits is obviously nonsense, but this coincidence made Yu Canling laugh for a long time before she stopped and said, "If the two of them were together... then many people in the world would have an easier time."
She knew about Lu Mingye's situation, but she never connected it to Fu Sizhou.
Now that I think about it, it's not entirely impossible that Nangong Wanggang's unintentional remark happened.
After all, Fu Shaojing is a man who doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables, and the Fu family's style is far superior to the Lu family's. So, whether or not Fu Sizhou is the one in question, nobody knows for sure.
It was just a joke, but Ye Sanqing heard it and fell into deep thought.
Then she suddenly felt a deep respect for Fu Sizhou.
Could it be...?
The strategist personally intervened!
Judging from how Fu Sizhou played the good older brother just now, he's a pretty good actor and very willing to go all out.
Therefore, if they point out Lu Mingye's sexual orientation, and Lu Mingye immediately says that Fu Sizhou is his girlfriend, then the Lu family probably won't be able to do anything about him, and will instead create opportunities for Lu Mingye.
Could he be Lu Mingye's biggest reliance in gaining power?
That's not entirely true. Fu Sizhou and Lu Mingye probably had some kind of collaboration in private. After all, who did Fu Sizhou rely on to win back then?
But only the two of them know the extent of their personal relationship.
Oh my god, I hope this person isn't the one I'm trying to woo.
Having one character is already troublesome enough, but adding two makes the game's choices far too diverse.
I hope they don't send me some kind of female copper wire later...
Ye Sanqing chuckled for a moment, thinking that these two should be featured in their own separate stories, and it would be best if they didn't appear in her main storyline.
Something like villains redeeming each other...
But the reality is clearly not so easy, and is even more severe.
If these two are just having a normal business collaboration, then there's not much of a problem. But if they have a deeper relationship... then it will affect the strategies they adopt.
This possibility cannot be ruled out at all.
Even though the prevailing custom in this game world is that interactions between opposite sexes are more common, gender is not necessarily a limitation of intimate relationships.
Ye Sanqing secretly reminded himself to pay attention to this point, lest he make any strategic mistakes.
Moreover, Yu Canling's words also had a hidden meaning.
Adding to the past events Lu Wangqian mentioned when he toasted earlier... and Yu Canling's performance, Ye Sanqing felt that he might need to have a talk with her.
I don't know what the other party's stance is, but if they can't stand on my side, then it's best not to stand on the Fu family's side either.
This intricate web of relationships within wealthy families gave Ye Sanqing a sense of amusement.
While this isn't exactly her comfort zone, she handles it with ease.
Ye Wanyin's toast had already reached the table of foreigners.
This group at the table is indeed a mixed bag; they're either members of the mafia, gangsters, or some kind of agricultural monopoly tycoon... which isn't much different from the underworld in essence.
If Interpol were to come, they could arrest everyone at this table, but only two of them might not have to go to court.
In other words, they weren't currently wanted by the authorities, which is why they were able to enter the country...
