Ye Heng watched Lu Manman intently as she spoke.
Lu Manman touched her cheek. “Does Young Master Ye have any questions?”
“Miss Lu, why do you think I will help you?”
“Aren’t you Mo Yuanxiu’s dissolute friend?” she asked.
Dissolute friend?!
Ye Heng laughed. “But Mo Yuanxiu didn’t ask me to help you.”
“You mean I have to call Mo Yuanxiu first?”
“No need.” Ye Heng shook his head.
“Thank you,” Lu Manman said directly.
“…” Ye Heng felt like he had been tricked by her.
“Consider this your wedding gift to me and Mo Yuanxiu. We can skip the money,” Lu Manman said as she turned around to leave. But before she left, she seemed to recall something and turned to him again. “Give me your phone number.”
Ye Heng reflexively gave her his number.
Lu Manman saved it and then made a call. “Please save my number. Call me if anything happens. Thank you.”
With that, she left.
Ye Heng watched her leave, a little stunned.
Why was this woman so confident?!
This was the complete opposite of his impression of the Lu Firm’s eldest daughter.
Based on her control and way of handling things, she clearly had an ability that was not in line with her age!
Was he profiting now?!
There seemed to be a huge sum of money left in his pockets now.
He smiled and picked up his cell phone.
The call went through quickly. “Yes?”
“Ah Xiu, did I disturb you?”
“Speak your mind.”
“Lu Manman came to look for me just now and asked me to help her investigate her second uncle, Lu Zichuan. Something happened to her today, and her father was taken away by the police. He’s under investigation now.” Ye Heng concluded.
“I know. I saw the news,” Mo Yuanxiu said coldly.
“Can I help her?”
“What did she give you?” Mo Yuanxiu asked.
“She said that I don’t have to pay for your wedding…”
“You agreed?”
“It’s not a small sum, after all.”
Mo Yuanxiu hung up.
Ye Heng clenched his teeth.
He seemed to be used to Mo Yuanxiu’s coldness.
His eyes slowly shifted away. Lu Manman was indeed acting out of his expectations.
…
Lu Manman sat in the car while Qin Ao kept quiet.
The car was driving at a moderate speed. Lu Manman looked at the beautiful scenery of Wen City, and her mind wandered.
She had been struggling with why the Wen family had been able to come up with such a meticulous plan in such a short period of time. Lu Qinzheng’s appearance had given her an idea. From the beginning to the end, the person who had been eyeing and hoping to get a hold of the Lu Firm was someone from the Lu family’s main household.
Lu Qinzheng had always wanted Lu Zichuan to take over the Lu Firm. It was impossible that he hadn’t done something about it in the dark all these years. Lu Qinzheng was a smart man, and he wouldn’t act rashly. He always thought things through thoroughly, and that was why he had such a detailed and long-lasting plan in his hands. He had just been waiting for the right time.
Coincidentally, Lu Manman calling the marriage off was the perfect timing.
Of course, Lu Qinzheng did not want to offend the Wen family. That was why he had wanted Lu Manman to marry into the Wen family in the first place. He had not thought of using the scheme that he had been plotting all this while, but Lu Manman had acted against him. Hence, in order to take revenge on her, he thought that he might be able to take advantage of the Wen family’s power to get his hands on the Lu Firm. This was why he started to be in cahoots with the Wen family and reveal his plot to deal with his son and granddaughter!
