Chapter 47: Would the Lu Family Be So Despicable?
Editor: Inschain
Right after Lu Xue had hung up the phone with Lu Ting, her father Lu Guangyao came back.
Upon seeing her,
“Slap—”
A slap landed on her face, stunning her.
“What are you thinking, hitting me like that!”
She had been pampered since childhood and wasn’t afraid of her dad at all.
Lu Guangyao’s face was filled with anger, “Speak up! Did you provoke Qiao Yun?”
“So what if I did provoke her?” Lu Xue asked through gritted teeth.
Lu Guangyao was so angry he felt like he was about to have a heart attack, “Why on earth did you provoke her for no reason! Why did I even have a wasteful daughter like you, the trouble you cause always ends up on me to bear!”
Lu Xue retorted with her neck stiffened, “What have you borne, we’re relatives with the Lu family, what can they even do to you!”
“So many collaborations have fallen through recently, what else could happen?”
Lu Guangyao wished he could kill her.
Lu Xue was stunned, “All this for Qiao Yun? Seriously?”
Lu Guangyao, too exasperated to explain, demanded uncompromisingly, “Apologize with me tomorrow! Otherwise, get out of here!”
Lu Xue, furious, shouted back, “I apologize for nothing, go yourself if you must, I won’t embarrass myself like that.”
After speaking, she stomped upstairs, harboring intense resentment towards Qiao Yun in her heart, blaming her for such a trivial matter that hindered her family’s business, too sinister!
Lu Guangyao cursed loudly, nearly driven to death by his troublesome daughter.
He also felt that the Lu family was making a mountain out of a molehill, it’s normal for kids to have a little conflict, but to escalate it to affect the company?
Regardless, he still needed to make a trip to the Lu family, otherwise, this issue wouldn’t be resolved.

The next day, Lu Guangyao didn’t catch Lu Xue, so he had to go and apologize by himself.
Ever since the incident at the adult ceremony, Su Mian had disliked this branch of relatives, and now they were subtly testing whether they had taken actions against their company made her even more uncomfortable.
Would the Lu family stoop so low?
Thus, the couple pretended they didn’t understand anything throughout.
Having no other choice, Lu Guangyao could only honestly say, “Is it not too much to make such a big fuss over a small conflict between kids?”
Lu Rui leisurely sipped his tea and responded to him, “Frankly, I’m not aware of what you’re talking about; think carefully if you’ve offended someone else recently?”
Lu Guangyao, distrustful, felt that the Lu couple was making things difficult for him.
Just then, Qiao Yun came down from upstairs. Seeing the troublemaker, Lu Guangyao wanted to say something but was stopped by Su Mian.
“Qiaoqiao, are you going out?”
Qiao Yun looked up, revealing her fair and delicate neck, sweeping her gaze over Lu Guangyao and then turning to Su Mian, “Meeting a friend.”
“Your friend has come to Shangjing?” Su Mian was somewhat surprised, thinking it was Qiao Yun’s rural friend coming to visit Shangjing City.
Qiao Yun didn’t explain but nodded obediently.
Watching Qiao Yun’s innocent and cute demeanor, Su Mian smiled tenderly, “Have fun.”
Qiao Yun had promised Pei Ya to help adjust his arm, and fortunately, she was free today.
She hadn’t even waited for the bus when Zhou You swiftly pulled up in front of her.
“Professor Qiao, please get in the car,” Chauffeur Zhou said respectfully.
Qiao Yun didn’t refuse, opened the car door, and got inside; she did not go to Shengqiao Group but had Pei Ya wait for her at the villa.
Once they arrived at the destination, Zhou You conscientiously found a place to wait for Qiao Yun.
“Finally, you arrive, the sun nearly killed me,” Pei Ya, not missing a chance to welcome her personally, exclaimed.
“Let’s go back inside; I’ve prepared a drink for you.”
“Mmm.”
Qiao Yun nodded and walked towards the villa with small steps.
Next door, Shen Qi stood on his own balcony, craning his neck to look ahead.
Fuck!
