"Are they here to pick you up?"

At this moment, Lu Xi finally understood what they were talking about.

She stared in shock at Dongfang Shuo beside her, wanting to hear his answer.

“Yes, these are all my family members, but I really want to start a business with you.”

Dongfang Shuo felt somewhat guilty towards Lu Xi and quickly realized he had lied to her, pulling Lu Xi's hand as he explained.

"No need, you should go back with them."

Hearing Dongfang Shuo's explanation, Lu Xi felt inexplicably sad.

I recognized his talent and wanted him to start a business with me, but I never expected that he would deceive me.

They even said he was a nobody with no connections and wanted me to take him in.

Disappointed, Lu Xi shook off Dongfang Shuo's hand, then got into her car and left.

"Xixi, Xixi, you have to let me explain!"

Watching Lu Xi's departing figure, Dongfang Shuo now realized that he had lied to her and what he had brought to her. He wanted to chase after her and explain.

"Young master, the boss wants you to go back immediately."

Just as Dongfang Shuo was about to give chase, the old steward blocked his way, conveying Dongfang Xingchen's words with a smile.

"Old man, get out of my way!"

Wanting to chase after the angry Lu Xi, Dongfang Shuo looked at the old butler in front of him, then at Lu Xi who had already driven away, and said to him.

"Young master, please don't make things difficult for us. Master is determined to let you go back this time. You know what Master will do if you don't go back."

The old butler also looked in the direction Lu Xi drove away.

Although he was smiling, the meaning behind his words was self-evident.

If Dongfang Shuo doesn't go back with him, given Dongfang Xingchen's methods, he will definitely take action against Lu Xi.

"Listen! If you dare lay a hand on that girl, I will never forgive you!"

Hearing the old steward's threat, Dongfang Shuo also spoke to him angrily.

"As long as the young master obediently goes back, the master will definitely not do anything else."

Seeing the angry Dongfang Shuo, the old steward calmly gestured for him to enter and said.

Knowing that his father was ruthless in achieving his goals, Dongfang Shuo walked to the car door, looked in the direction Lu Xi had left, sighed, and got into the car.

"Go and investigate that person's identity, and also the people connected to him."

The old butler smiled with delight when he saw the young master get into the car obediently.

He really didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but the old butler could tell from Lu Xi's earlier reaction that his young master might have fallen in love.

Such a thing is unacceptable. We must investigate Lu Xi's motives thoroughly.

The old butler drove Dongfang Shuo back to the castle and sent several other people to investigate Lu Xi.

At this time, Jiang Manyue was being cared for by both Lu's mother and Jiang's mother at the hospital.

Lu Fan also took the time to come to the company to see how it was doing while he was away.

"Brother, I'm here."

Lu Xi listlessly opened the door and walked in. As soon as she entered, she sat down on the sofa and said to Lu Fan in a weak voice.

"You've finally arrived! Where's my breakfast?"

Lu Fan, who arrived at the company at six o'clock, already had a rumbling stomach.

He had called Lu Xi beforehand and asked her to bring breakfast when she came. When he saw that Lu Xi had finally arrived, he quickly went to Lu Xi and asked her with a puzzled look when he saw that she had nothing in her hands.

"Your breakfast is gone, my Dongfang Shuo is gone, and the investment you promised me is gone too."

Hearing that Lu Fan was asking her for breakfast, Lu Xi, who had already been upset that morning, couldn't help but say something to Lu Fan.

"You didn't buy breakfast, so what? What happened to Dongfang Shuo?"

Looking at Lu Xi, who usually looks so dejected, I can see that she is usually very lively and energetic.

She said a lot more strange things, and when she heard that Dongfang Shuo was gone, her heart skipped a beat, and she anxiously pressed Lu Xi for an answer.

"Why are you so nervous? He's not dead. His family just took him back."

Looking at Lu Fan's anxious expression, Lu Xi sensed something was off.

What does it matter to you what Dongfang Shuo did?

"Secretary Ge, have someone get me two breakfasts."

Lu Fan walked to the door and gave some instructions to Secretary Ge, who was not far away.

I was starving early this morning because of my troublesome little sister.

Since I didn't buy it for myself, I had to let someone else buy it for me.

"Did you already know about Dongfang Shuo's situation? Otherwise, why did you react so strongly when I said Dongfang Shuo was gone?"

Seeing Lu Fan standing at the door, she deliberately avoided the topic.

She already had a feeling that her brother was hiding something from her, so she stood up and asked Lu Fan.

"Ahem, when I first heard his name, I guessed something about his family situation. The things he told you were probably about him sneaking out. It's a good thing that his family took him away this time. You shouldn't have any more contact with him."

Lu Fan was surprised that his sister had noticed, and he coughed awkwardly a couple of times.

However, Lu Fan couldn't say much about Dongfang Shuo's family affairs to Lu Xi, and could only offer her some advice.

"Why? Even if his family is very wealthy, they can't be richer than you, the chairman of the Jiang Group, right?"
