"Where did you hear this rumor? Don't mention it again."

At this point, he didn't want to escalate the situation. Besides, He Zhong's willingness to give up this lead was already beyond his expectations. To end the argument, Lu Zhengqian waved for He Zhong to leave.

He Zhong stood up and smiled at Gan Tang: "My dear niece, he's just a pretty boy. If you like that type, your fourth uncle will send you ten or eight another day."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Fourth Uncle!"

At that moment, Gan Tang was standing in front of the coffee table. She picked up the teapot and smashed it over He Zhong's head. No one expected this. He Zhong turned around and saw the teapot explode on his head.

The brewed tea leaves stuck to his hair, and the green tea mixed with fresh blood flowed down, making him look extremely disheveled.

"you!"

He Zhong had never suffered such humiliation before. His outstretched hand was about to be raised when Ali hurriedly stepped forward to block the young lady and advised, "Fourth Master, you are an elder, don't take it to heart."

Everyone knows that the young lady is getting married this month, which is the most important event for the Lu Group. How could she be injured? He Zhong suppressed his anger, clenched his raised hand into a fist, and gritted his teeth as he lowered it.

"Call a doctor quickly."

Lu Zhengqian couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and helped He Zhong sit down, trying his best to calm him down. After the doctor arrived, he asked Ali to stay with her and then took his unruly daughter away.

Walking back to Lu Zhengqian's detached villa, Lu Zhengqian let go of his daughter's hand and said angrily, "You like him that much?"

"What does this have to do with whether I like him or not? He's mine."

Gan Tang naturally couldn't admit to such a dangerous thing, and complained aggrievedly: "Fourth Uncle killed me just like that, does he even care about me? I think he just wants to cut off my roots in the Lu Group because I'm about to get married."

She needs to define this impulsive behavior as fearful anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Zhengqian's voice softened, and he gently scolded, "Your roots in the Lu Group are your father. Who would dare to bully you!"

Gan Tang's eyes were bloodshot, and she bit her lip in grievance: "Aren't you bullying me too? You always side with him and not with me."

Lu Zhengqian embraced his daughter and sighed, "Tang'er, you're still young and don't understand some things. Everyone has their own calculations. If you can't tolerate their selfishness and scheming, how can they expect you to rise to a high position?"

Gan Tang was surprised that he would say such intimate and intimate things to her, and looked up to ask, "Will Dad also tolerate it?"

"Of course!" At this moment, Lu Zhengqian sat lazily on the sofa, showing an unusual weariness, and laughed: "You think I don't know that your fourth uncle's goods were lost in Canglan this time? It was Acheng's doing. More than 100 million in capital, doesn't Dad feel the pain?"

Gan Tang smiled and teased, "Why are you so upset about Fourth Uncle's money?"

Lu Zhengqian patted his daughter's shoulder and sighed, "It's okay if they have their own little schemes, the important thing is not to let them escape your control. Tang'er, you need to have your own magnanimity to maintain your high position. If you are vindictive in everything, how are you any different from those brutes? How can you achieve anything?"

Had he said these things to anyone else? If he didn't consider her his closest confidante, why would he say such things? Gan Tang felt a pang of unease and obediently nodded, "Dad, I understand."

Lu Zhengqian reminded him, "Now that you know, take the medicine and apologize to your fourth uncle later."

"Okay!" Gan Tang replied reluctantly.

Thinking about Canglan's matter, Lu Zhengqian didn't go, yet he could accurately guess what Fu Cheng was doing. Gan Tang was a little uneasy, feigning curiosity as she asked, "Dad, is Mo Huaixing really Big Brother's male concubine?"

"Huh?" Lu Zhengqian looked puzzled.

"Didn't Dad know?" Gan Tang stretched out her hand, her two thumbs clashing together. "It's all over the gang, saying that the two of them... you know."

"You know what, it's actually quite possible." Lu Zhengqian nodded in agreement.

"Ah!" Gan Tang felt a little strange and said listlessly, "No wonder, Big Brother helped Mo Huaixing so much."

“It wasn’t entirely for Mo Huaixing’s sake,” Lu Zhengqian said with emotion. “Acheng doesn’t like the drug business. He wanted me to know that the drug business is a losing proposition, and wanted me to give it up completely.”

Gan Tang asked curiously, "Why doesn't Big Brother like it?"

Could the adopted son of a drug dealer really be a model young man who cares about his fellow countrymen?

Lu Zhengqian recalled the past: "Acheng's father was a drug addict who often forced his mother to sell herself and also forced him to steal. Later, in order to exchange for drugs, he even sold his mother to drug dealers. That's why your older brother has always hated drugs."

Gan Tang listened with some distress: "And what happened to his mother afterward?"

"He's dead. As for how he died, your older brother never said."

Yes, what good can come of a woman falling into the hands of drug dealers? Gan Tang felt a pang of sadness: "Could it be that this is why he doesn't have any women?"

Seeing his daughter's dejected look, Lu Zhengqian assumed she was thinking about Mo Huaixing and, unusually, joked with her, "What would you do if they were really together?"

"Then I'll snatch him back!" Gan Tang glared at him, her expression flushed with embarrassment, and said fiercely, "I'm a pretty young girl, am I not as good as a grown man?"

“Yes, she is my daughter.” Lu Zhengqian thought of Chu Jiahe and asked, “Tang’er, do you prefer Chu Jiahe or Mo Huaixing?”

"Of course it's still... Jiahe." How could she dare to mention Mo Huaixing?

Gan Tang thought for a moment and continued, "Although Chu Jiahe is very good, I always feel uneasy about him. But Mo Huaixing is different. If I am unhappy, I can scold him or yell at him. Although he will get angry, he will never ignore me."

At this point, she emphasized, "It's not because of my father."

"He is indeed not bad." After so many days of observation, Lu Zhengqian still couldn't completely trust him, but he understood to some extent why Fu Cheng treated him so well.

Gan Tang knew that he didn't care who he liked, or even how many men he liked. What he cared about was not being controlled by love. So before he could speak, she asked, "Dad, do you think I can control Mo Huaixing?"

She wanted to know how much Lu Zhengqian knew about her. The extent of his understanding determined how safe he was.

"In terms of talent, he is better than Ali and Shaojie..."

Gan Tang gave Lu Zhengqian a look that said, "Who isn't better than the two of them?"

Lu Zhengqian also felt that comparing those two people was a bit disrespectful, so he coughed lightly and said, "...They're even better than your older brother."

Gan Tang asked, "Then why doesn't Dad give him more important roles and have him run errands for me all day?"

"Because Dad doesn't know him very well yet." After observing for so long, Lu Zhengqian only saw a few weaknesses in Mo Huaixing through his daughter; otherwise, he was practically perfect.

It was so perfect it left a lingering sense of unease.

Lu Zhengqian patted his daughter's head and laughed, "Whether she can do it or not, that depends on Tang'er's abilities!"
