Chapter 481 My Celebrity Boyfriend (4)
The next day, a piece of news topped the trending searches: Murong Aotian, the patriarch of the Murong family in Kyoto, actually sent his own son to the police station.
Furthermore, the evidence found regarding Murong Lin's disregard for human life was also sent over, and the Murong Group underwent a major overhaul, with people from various departments taking turns to visit the Murong Group for questioning.
This caused Murong Group's stock to lose over 10 billion yuan in less than half a day.
After learning who the Murong family had offended, the other families in Kyoto quickly kept a low profile and conducted a self-examination. Meanwhile, government officials once again instructed their subordinates and family members to memorize Wangyou and Lu Sheng's appearances, ingraining them in their very bones, in case anyone was foolish enough to look down on them.
Of course, those below them had no right to know, but the various service industries conducted another round of emergency training for their employees, and those who were arrogant were quickly fired to avoid getting into trouble.
Although Wangyou might not go shopping due to her family background, if she suddenly decides to go shopping and gets bullied by some clueless person, then they will be the ones who suffer.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire capital city changed. People went shopping and felt that the service staff were more and more friendly, so they liked to go there, which inadvertently boosted economic growth.
And the rich second-generation heirs and spoiled brats in the capital, after being repeatedly warned by their elders and learning from Murong Lin's example, have all become much more obedient.
"It still has to be Patriarch Xie; his efforts are far more effective than ours," Director Hu said with a smile.
"That's because you're not ruthless enough!"
"Indeed, although you have cultivated your character in recent years, your former reputation was still legendary."
"There's no other way; if you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm."
"That's true." Director Hu nodded in agreement, recalling the Xie family's situation more than a decade ago.
"Speak, what brings you here today, sir?"
"In recent years, these powerful families have become increasingly arrogant and do not value human life. Many civilians have been killed as a result. The higher-ups mean that your simple intervention this time was so effective, could you intervene a few more times?"
"What benefits do I get? Don't forget, the Xie family is also an arrogant family."
“You are different. The Xie family never bullies ordinary people, never ignores the law, and never takes lives lightly. But other families are different.”
"It's possible, it's just a side thing. I also need to reorganize the Xie family and tighten their belts. However, I heard that the national television station is preparing a program, and I need a spot."
“Sure, no problem. Not just one, ten will do.” Director Hu readily agreed.
"But it will take some time, my grandma hasn't been feeling well lately."
"Of course, Kyoto is much more peaceful now, and it's not so difficult for us to enforce the law."
The two chatted for a while longer before Director Hu took his leave.
A month later, Lu Sheng rushed back after finishing filming.
"Didn't you say there were still two months left? How come you're back in just one month?"
"I'm worried about you, and I want to be with you and Grandma as soon as possible."
"Go wash up and get some sleep. Look at your dark circles, you look like a panda."
"Hehe, okay." Lu Sheng went to take a shower with a cheerful smile.
The old lady was conscious for less and less time. During this period, Wangyou stopped going out, and Lu Sheng also canceled all his work to stay with her.
"Wangyou, Grandma wants to eat red bean pastries. Can you check if they're ready?" the old lady said kindly to Wangyou.
"Okay, I'll go right now. Lu Sheng, you stay with Grandma." Wangyou smiled and went out.
"Xiao Lu, Grandma is leaving us. You must take good care of Wangyou from now on. She has suffered so much these past years, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."
She took over the family business at the age of six, and she was the only direct descendant left, so the collateral branches always wanted to take her place, and they all wanted to kill her.
At her most exhausted, she only rested for one hour a day. Such a small child managed to suppress those with wolfish ambitions and eliminate most of the people.
But even as she matures, she's still a child. Although she seems much better these past few years, I know she doesn't really have much motivation to live. She's only been able to persevere all these years because of me, her wife, but I can't be with her anymore.
Xiao Lu, you must stay by her side. As long as she has that thought in your heart, she won't get into trouble. Promise me, you must promise me! *cough cough cough*
"Grandma, please slow down. I promise you, I will always stay with Wangyou. I want to stay by her side forever," Lu Sheng said solemnly.
Although his grandmother's words were vague because there were many things that couldn't be said, Lu Sheng could imagine how difficult it would be for a child to survive in an environment surrounded by wolves and successfully fight back. Just knowing this made Lu Sheng feel extremely distressed.
"Good, good boy, thank you for your hard work." The old lady could tell that Lu Sheng was sincere, and she felt relieved.
Wangyou stood at the door with red bean pastries in her hand, listening to her grandmother's last words. She knew her grandmother had deliberately sent her away, but she never expected it was for her sake.
"Grandma, I brought you the red bean pastry. Try it and see if it tastes right." Wangyou smiled and pushed open the door, pretending not to have heard those words.
"Okay, it's delicious. Your grandpa loves it the most. I'm going to find them now. You two take good care of yourselves."
The old lady ate a red bean pastry, then suddenly got up, put their hands together, and then lay down and stopped breathing.
"Grandma, don't worry, we'll be fine. When we get there, remember to take good care of yourself." Wangyou held her grandmother's hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
Lu Sheng held Wangyou in his arms, tears streaming down his face. In the house, he could almost hear the old lady asking him which movies he had acted in, and the two of them discussing the plot.
The old lady's funeral was very grand, with many people from all walks of life attending. The Xie family once again put aside their work and rushed to the old house.
Last time I came, it was a festive red, but just a few months later, it's all white.
Another memorial tablet has been added to the Xie Clan Ancestral Hall. Wangyou, dressed in a black dress, stands at the front, and the oppressive atmosphere makes the Xie family members kneeling behind her not dare to raise their heads.
After the funeral, Wangyou ordered the Xie family members to return to the old house in batches to retrain, which made the Xie family members present even more anxious.
"Lu Sheng, you have to participate too. Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid." Lu Sheng shook his head. Although Wang You was powerful and no one dared to offend her, as the man by her side, he still had to protect himself. He couldn't help her, but at least he couldn't hold her back.
"Don't worry, I'll be with you."
"Of course, I'm your husband. If you don't spend time with me, who do you want to spend time with?" Lu Sheng said with a grin.
Three months later, Lu Sheng was completely transformed, and another group of Xie family members entered the clan territory again.
