“I’m proud that Dad praises me like that,” Lu Manman said as she looked at the desolate streets of Wen City. She heaved a sigh of relief. She was not afraid that others would not understand, but she was afraid that her dad would be put in a spot.
Indeed, her dad had more principles than she thought.
“Work hard. If there’s anything you can’t solve, look for Dad.”
“Mm-hm, I know.”
After hanging up, she smiled.
To be able to obtain her father’s support and gain the recognition of others was an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Her eyes flickered.
The car was already parked at the police station.
She got off and entered the building.
Zhang Cui followed behind her.
For some reason, she felt that Director Lu was domineering no matter where she went.
Lu Manman politely asked about Lu Xuanran’s condition. As it was just a small office incident, it did not constitute a crime. She just wanted to bring him back for a teaching, and he would be released on bail.
She completed some procedures.
Lu Xuanran appeared before her unhappily. He looked at her disdainfully as if he did not want to bother with her at all.
“You sent me in and then got me out. Lu Manman, what are you thinking?!” Lu Xuanran growled. “Don’t be the good and bad guy at the same time. I’m the second young master of the Lu family! I don’t need you here!”
Lu Manman did not have the time to talk to him. She turned around and left.
“Lu Manman!” Lu Xuanran pulled her back forcefully.
Lu Manman could even feel her arm hurting under Lu Xuanran’s palm.
She furrowed her brows, and her expression darkened. “Lu Xuanran, I don’t mind calling the police!”
Lu Xuanran’s face went red with anger, and he shoved Lu Manman away. He growled, “What’s so great about you, Lu Manman? You’re just a woman! Do you think you can manage Lu Firm well?! The tradition of Northern Xia dictates that the company will be inherited by men, and you’re just a woman. From the moment you were born, you were destined to be a good-for-nothing! I’m the true successor of the Lu family!”
Lu Manman sneered. “I finally understand why your great-grandfather didn’t leave Lu Firm to your grandfather and your father. He probably knew that your father would bring up a son like you who speaks without thinking.”
“Lu Manman, what do you mean!”
“Lu Xuanran, you’d better understand this! Lu Firm’s largest shareholder is my father, Lu Zishan. Do you think your father would hand over such a huge Lu Firm to you unconditionally?! Aren’t you being too optimistic?!”
“You!” Lu Xuanran was so angry he could not say a word!
“You should be satisfied that I’m able to get you to work at Lu Firm and prevent you from becoming a jobless person or a despised second-generation heir!” Lu Manman said threateningly. “Don’t touch my bottom line, Lu Xuanran! You can’t afford to offend me!”
With that, she turned around and left.
Lu Xuanran clenched his teeth in anger. His body was shaking, and he wanted to vent his anger.
But he was at the police station now, and no matter how brave he was, he did not dare to cause trouble there.
He tolerated it as he watched Lu Manman leave haughtily!
Why was he lower than Lu Manman?
As the only grandson of the Lu family, he should inherit the Lu family business. Who was Lu Manman to him!
She had agreed for him to work at Lu Firm, but she still had the cheek to assign him such a lowly position. A while ago, he had swaggered around and told his friends that he was about to take on a huge role in Lu Firm. If news of this got out, he would surely be embarrassed!
