Chapter 115 No One Thought of Divorce

When Meng Anran left the Lu family, she only took away her important documents, but many of her business contracts and information were still left here.

It was locked in a safe and kept by the housekeeper.

Before, it was because Lu Qingcheng lived here, and he came here openly to take something, and it was a safe, so he was afraid that Lu Qingcheng would not give it up.

Now that Lu Qingcheng has been sent away and the Lu couple rarely come back, she can go in openly to the housekeeper to get her information back.

There was not much driving at night, and the sports car sped along the road, smoothly entering the villa area and stopping at the door of the Lu family villa.

The car was still running with the air conditioner and music on. Meng Anran asked her brother to wait in the car and she would be out soon.

The housekeeper came and opened the gate for her.

"Miss, do you want to move the entire safe, or just the documents?" The butler was as respectful and polite as ever, calling Meng Anran "Miss."

“Just take the information.”

Meng Anran was concise and to the point. She said the safe was too heavy. Even if she asked the servants to help her put it in the car, it would be difficult for her and Meng Yushu to move the box into the house after they returned.

Besides, the only thing that matters is the information. How much can a safe be worth? There's no need to go to all that trouble to take it away.

"Understood. Please come this way, Miss." The butler led the way from the front yard to the back yard and to the servants' quarters.

He brought Meng Anran to his residence, where a one-meter-high safe was placed against the wall in the corner.

Meng Anran squatted in front of the safe, entered the password and opened the door, took out all the documents packed in paper file bags, and put them into the cloth bag handed to her by the housekeeper.

After getting the things, he left immediately, not wanting to stay in the Lu family for even a second longer.

…

In the front yard of the Lu family, Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin sat opposite each other in front of a wicker coffee table, one drinking hot tea and the other sipping coffee, the atmosphere was serious and tense.

"Where have you been all this time?" Lu Zhong's voice was filled with anger. It was not an inquiry, but a question.

Bai Yujin took a sip of coffee, looking impatient. "When we got married, we agreed it was a marriage of convenience. The prenuptial agreement is still in the safe. When did you become qualified to ask about my whereabouts?"

Lu Zhong snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm willing to care about you? Don't forget how much trouble your daughter caused. She was sent away, but she offended the Qin family. Even now, the Qin family is still unwilling to cooperate with the Lu family!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yujin became dissatisfied. She slammed her jeweled hands on the table and subconsciously leaned forward. "What you said is really ridiculous. She's my daughter, but isn't she also your daughter? Don't act like you care about the group so much. If you really understood business, you wouldn't have handed the group over to Lu Heng, who was only 20 years old! How dare you pretend to be great in front of me?"

"Humph! Lu Heng is so talented because he inherited my genes. He's able to manage the group well, allowing you to have fun outside easily. But look at Lu Qingcheng. She inherited your looks and abilities, but she only knows how to poke holes and can't help at all!"

Lu Zhong argued convincingly that Lu Qingcheng didn't look like him at all. If it weren't for a paternity test, he would even suspect that this waste was Bai Yujin's illegitimate daughter!

When Meng Anran left, she happened to hear the quarrel between Bai Yujin and Lu Zhong.

It's quite ridiculous that Lu Zhong shamelessly accused Bai Yujin of not being able to take care of her daughter and belittled Bai Yujin's genes, but this daughter is not Bai Yujin's biological daughter at all.

Will his face hurt when he finds out the truth?

However, with Lu Zhong's intelligence, if Lu Heng and Lu Yi didn't tell him, he would probably never guess that Lu Qingcheng was just his illegitimate daughter, right?

Meng Anran had overheard the couple bickering and swearing at each other a few times at Lu's house, pointing out each other's faults.

The two had a formal marriage, drawn together for money and power, with no real affection between them. They spent their days playing their own games and rarely went home, yet in public they acted like a loving, wealthy couple.

The quarrels are nothing more than for the interests of the group, and occasionally there will be a few words due to conflicts of interest.

In Meng Anran's understanding, their conflict of interest could perhaps be called unequal distribution of spoils.

Lu Zhong couldn't stand Bai Yujin spending their joint property to buy a bunch of jewelry, and Bai Yujin couldn't stand Lu Zhong using his joint property to buy a bunch of jewelry for other women.

We quarreled occasionally, but no one ever thought about divorce.

The reason is very simple. The Bai family is one of the shareholders of the Lu Group. The Lu Group needs to rely on the Bai family's capital injection, and the Bai family also relies on the Lu family's status.

After being bound for half their lives for profit, the only ones who suffer in the end are their children.

Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin didn't get any results from their argument, but the moment he looked away, he saw Meng Anran coming out from the servants' side.

Meng Anran was about to leave quietly, but since she was seen by them, she politely went over and said hello.

After all, this is the Lu family, and being polite is all about saving her own face.

If she leaves without saying goodbye, it will make her seem cowardly and evasive.

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, long time no see. How are you doing?"

The attitude is generous and appropriate, neither humble nor arrogant, just like meeting a guest you know but are not familiar with at a banquet and casually exchanging pleasantries.

Lu Zhongru said as emotionlessly as usual, "What are you doing here?"

Meng Anran smiled politely, "I left in a hurry and left some school materials here. I came to retrieve them."

Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin didn't comment when they heard this. These were Meng Anran's study materials. Now that she was about to graduate from high school, it was natural for her to take some certificates with her.

As for Meng Anran herself, they increasingly felt that it was a wrong decision to let Meng Anran leave the Lu family and bring Lu Qingcheng back.

Lu Qingcheng doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all. She is selfish, stingy, greedy and vain. Even though she has taken many etiquette classes, she still can't change her jealous face.

Originally, for the Lu family, the girl's greatest value was to wait until she reached marriageable age and send her off for marriage in exchange for some resources for the group.

As a result, before Lu Qingcheng could create any value for the group, she had already created such a big hole and offended the Qin family.

Now the Qin Group has changed its name to Yunduan, and Qin Mu is in charge. Judging from the relationship between Qin Mu and Meng Anran, and the relationship between Meng Anran and Lu Qingcheng, it would be extremely difficult for the Lu Group to cooperate with Yunduan again.

People without value can only be a burden to the Lu family.

For the sake of blood relationship, they can raise a useless waste, but when the waste has no use value, they have to find a way to make some money from other places.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong's tone suddenly softened a bit: "An Ran, after all, you have lived in the Lu family for seventeen years. If you want to come back, you can come back at any time. Although you are an adopted daughter, the Lu family will not treat you badly and will treat you as their own daughter."

Meng Anran almost sneered, as if your Lu family is so good to your own daughter.

The reason they asked me to come back was simply because Yunduan Group was unwilling to cooperate with Lu Corporation, and because of my relationship with Qin Mu, they wanted me to be the middleman.
