Facing his rage, Gu Qianqian was nearly speechless…
She wasn’t well-mannered?
What would count as being well-mannered then?
Letting such a nauseating man take advantage of her, then apologizing humbly, that’s well-mannered?
Heh!
Heh heh!
She said nothing, because she was heartbroken to the extreme, but even though she was in such despair, Lu Yebai showed no intention of letting her off: “You were disrespectful last night.
Master Fu Jingchen has already put your grudges behind him.
You not only fail to apologize but also scold him.
What the hell was that?”
As he finished speaking, he seemed to be still very angry and continued to chide her loudly: “I don’t care how untamed you were in your hometown, but in the Lu family, you must follow the rules.
Therefore, apologize.
Now, right now, immediately…”
Gu Qianqian: “…”
Her hands tightly clenched into fists, her knuckles aching from strain, Gu Qianqian felt utterly humiliated as she looked at Lu Yebai, a man that seemed both familiar and alien to her.
“What are you arguing about so early in the morning?”
The sudden voice was cold, accompanied by languidness from just waking up.
When Lu Zhanbei’s deep voice broke into the scene, the three people present were stunned.
Fu Jingchen was naturally guilty, while Lu Yebai held an evident repulsion.
As for Gu Qianqian, she felt an intense sense of shame, as if she was always caught in embarrassing situations around Lu Zhanbei.
Particularly…
“Uncle Lu!”
Despite his reluctance, Lu Yebai still took the initiative to greet Lu Zhanbei.
If anyone in this family is the last person Lu Yebai would like to meet, it won’t be his authoritative father, but the Uncle Lu in front of him, a man of few words but a powerful aura.
Though Lu Zhanbei and Lu Zhandong were of the same generation, they had a twenty-year age gap and, coupled with disputes over the distribution of the Lu family wealth, the two never had a good relationship.
So, although everyone appeared civil and friendly on the surface as though they were one big happy family, Lu Yebai knew clearly that if he wanted to have control over everything in the Lu family, Uncle Lu was his true enemy.
Enemies meeting each other will of course spark animosity…
But he must still keep up pretenses in public.
Thus, rarely showing warmth, Lu Zhanbei simply nodded in a symbolic response to Lu Yebai’s greeting.
Then, turning his head, his icy gaze shifted and surprisingly landed on Fu Jingchen: “Master Fu is also here!
Didn’t go home last night?”
“Yes!”
Fu Jingchen felt awkward, as Lu Zhanbei knew perfectly well what transpired last night.
He had lied to Lu Zhandong and Lu Yebai to save face.
If ‘Third Yan Wang – the rumored underworld boss of the Lu family – exposed his lies now, it would create a major embarrassment.
So he still forced himself to smile while explaining: “It was quite late yesterday, so I decided to stay over.”
“So it was too late at eight? Really late?”
Fu Jingchen’s smile froze on his face…
Ignoring Fu Jingchen’s discomfort, Lu Zhanbei’s cold gaze shifted slightly and now fell directly on Gu Qianqian: “Why are you still standing around?”
Seeing her bewildered expression, Lu Zhanbei’s face remained impassive as he reminded her: “I have a meeting with the school board director at ten to discuss your transfer.
We’ll be late if we don’t leave soon.”
Gu Qianqian: “…”
