“How does Second Uncle know so much? There shouldn’t be any insider news regarding my dad’s case, right?” Lu Manman squinted.
“Lu Manman, you still have the cheek to say something! The Lu Firm is in such a state all because of you, and you still have the cheek to speak?!” Lu Qinzheng growled. “You actually dare to question your Second Uncle’s upbringing? You’re already very lucky that Wen Yun is willing to marry you, but you even have the cheek to back out of the marriage! Now that you’ve caused your dad to end up in this state, if I were you, I wouldn’t dare to face anyone anymore!”
“Grandpa, I’m just curious why Second Uncle knows so much about this. Perhaps Second Uncle has some friends at the police station that can help us out. You interrupted me so hurriedly and mocked me. Are you trying to hide something?” Lu Manman was not angered by Lu Qinzheng’s words. Instead, she spoke with a hidden meaning behind her words and clicked her tongue.
“Lu Manman, don’t you talk nonsense here! I was the one who called your dad to ask about Old Master Wen’s case. He told me about the situation in the past, and I just casually mentioned it to your Second Uncle!” Lu Qinzheng’s voice was very loud as he growled at Lu Manman. “The Lu Firm is in this state now, and you still have the cheek to say all this? If I were you, I would have apologized to the Wen family a long time ago and begged them to let go of the pressure they placed on the Lu Firm!”
“So Grandpa thinks that the only way for the Lu family to survive is through the Wen family?” Lu Manman was as calm as usual. She was really magnanimous and carried herself so naturally.
“Lu Manman, what are you trying to say?”
“Grandpa, I just don’t quite agree with you belittling our Lu Firm this way.” Lu Manman pursed her lips and even smiled a little. She seemed so innocent and naive. “I was also curious about why great-grandpa would ask my dad to take over the Lu Firm instead of you. But it seems like I know the answer now.”
“Lu Manman, what’s the meaning of this!” Lu Qinzheng glared at her with a terrifying expression.
“I just want to say that the Lu Firm isn’t as incompetent as you think,” Lu Manman said. “Even without the support of the Wen family, the Lu Firm can still do well in Wen City!”
“Well said. Lu Manman, anyone knows how to boast!”
“I’m not exaggerating. You’ll understand after this incident, and I’m just stating the facts.” Lu Manman looked back at Lu Qinzheng, unafraid of his anger. She said, “Grandpa, I know you’re very concerned about the development of the Lu Firm and that you want it to continue flourishing. But if you think that the only way for the Lu Firm to survive is to compromise with the Wen family and have me go to the Wen family to apologize and curry favor with them for the marriage… Well, if that’s your objective, I’m telling you that I won’t listen to you. I can’t marry Wen Yun anymore!”
“Lu Manman, don’t get too cocky!” Lu Qinzheng stomped his feet in anger. He hadn’t expected Lu Manman to be so obstinate.
“Grandpa, I think you should go back to the Lu family’s main household to rest at this point. Don’t let these things affect your health. It wouldn’t be worth it.”
“Lu Manman, you dare to chase me out?” Lu Qinzheng was shaking with anger.
No matter what, even if he hadn’t taken over the Lu Firm, everyone in the Lu family had to be respectful to him, including Lu Zishan. But now, it was this silly girl Lu Manman who was talking to him in this manner!
“I’m just thinking about your health. If Grandpa really thinks I’m chasing you away, just take it that way.” Lu Manman was direct and her tone was not harsh, but it gave off a sharp vibe!
Lu Qinzheng was so angry he raised his hand to slap her.
