Chapter 33 Demolishing the Gate of the Luo Family Villa
Outside the Luo family villa, Luo Zhiwei looked at Lu Jingxiao with a helpless expression, her tone somewhat dejected: "Mr. Lu, I can handle this myself, no need to trouble you, I..."
Luo Zhiwei didn't want to trouble anyone.
She refused You Ran's company at the Gu family's doorstep, but to her surprise, Lu Jingxiao pulled her into the car and drove straight to the Luo family's villa.
But she didn't want Lu Jingxiao to get too involved; after all, it was her business.
Lu Jingxiao didn't care. Instead, he got out of the car and opened the door for her. Luo Zhiwei sighed helplessly and followed him out of the car.
"Luo Zhiwei, if it weren't for me today, you might not have been able to get what you wanted so easily."
The Zhao family was thrown out of the banquet tonight, and they will probably harbor resentment.
He couldn't let Luo Zhiwei face this alone.
As for Gu Youran... how could he let her cause trouble at this time? This is his chance to shine.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She had already considered this issue.
Zhao Tingguo had suffered such a great humiliation, how could he possibly let her go?
But her mother's belongings were in his hands, and she couldn't do anything about it. Those things... were her mother's most treasured possessions, especially... a jade pendant with a dragon pattern.
Even if it costs her her life, she cannot let her mother's things be defiled.
In particular, the dragon-patterned jade pendant that Mom treasured.
Zhao Tingguo didn't know the importance of the jade pendant, but she knew she had to protect it for her mother.
Lu Jingxiao held Luo Zhiwei's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness, yet also telling Luo Zhiwei that she couldn't refuse him.
At today's banquet, Gu Youran's words were all too much for him to bear.
Without his knowledge, and while he was running away, Luo Zhiwei suffered countless grievances.
Now, how could he possibly let her get hurt again?
"Luo Zhiwei, no matter what, let me stay with you today."
Perhaps it was because Lu Jingxiao's eyes were too sincere that Luo Zhiwei had completely fallen for him, and she nodded as if possessed: "Okay."
To their surprise, they were stopped as soon as they reached the door; to be precise, the villa gate was tightly closed, giving them no chance to enter.
Luo Zhiwei frowned. She knew Zhao Tingguo would make things difficult for her, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't let her in the door so soon.
Zhao Tingguo....
Luo Zhiwei kept ringing the doorbell until the person inside became impatient, at which point the housekeeper finally came out.
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. The master won't let us open the door... I... I have no other choice."
"Butler, don't forget, you are the butler of the Luo family, not Zhao Tingguo's."
Luo Zhiwei was very disappointed.
The housekeeper usually took good care of her, so she was a little sad when he said those words.
The butler looked troubled: "Miss, I know, but my salary is paid by the master. I've had my salary deducted every time I've protected you. The master said that if I help you again, he will fire me and won't let other masters hire me."
He was also in a dilemma. He could resign for loyalty and righteousness, and he could do anything for the young lady.
But he can't be laid off at this age and not be able to find a job. What will happen to his family? His family needs to make a living.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, he had no other choice but to do so.
Luo Zhiwei was stunned; she had been asking too much of her.
This is something Zhao Tingguo is capable of doing.
Her affair with Zhao Tingguo should not involve others.
"I understand," Luo Zhiwei said softly. "Butler, you can go in now. I'll figure something out myself."
The butler nodded, then glanced back at Luo Zhiwei with some unease.
Finally, steeling himself, he went back.
The voice was very soft: "Miss, this villa is in your name. What you do with it is entirely up to you."
After the butler's reminder, I went in without hesitation.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
That seems to make sense.
Today, Zhao Tingguo has broken his promise and shown no martial virtue, so she can't be blamed.
Luo Zhiwei looked at Lu Jingxiao, tilting her head and speaking seriously: "President Lu, can you get a demolition team, the kind that can come immediately, to just tear down this gate?"
She had a premonition that if she couldn't get in today and retrieve her mother's belongings, she would be forever cut off from the Luo family.
She might never get her mother's belongings again.
So she absolutely had to go in today.
No one can stop her.
"Leave this to me, 40 minutes."
Lu Jingxiao suddenly curled his lips into a wicked smile, a playful glint in his eyes: "I'll make a phone call first."
"Thank you, I'll give you the money from the demolition team."
She still has the eight million that Ranran transferred to her, so she's still rich.
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Is it necessary for them to be so clear about things?
He'll take care of the important business first, and after that, he'll have a good talk with Luo Zhiwei!
**
About 40 minutes later, Wei Mingfeng appeared in front of Lu Jingxiao with the demolition team, along with Gu Yulin and Li Huaijin.
As for why Si Ming didn't come, it's because there was an emergency surgery that he had to go back to perform.
Lu Jingxiao was slightly surprised to see Gu Yulin and Li Huaijin. He pulled Luo Zhiwei over to them and asked, "Why are you here?"
“How could such a lively event be complete without me and the boss?” Li Huaijin smiled slyly. “I got some good stuff from Xiao Si, and I’m going to give it to them later.”
Li Huaijin suddenly looked at Luo Zhiwei seriously, his eyes filled with apology: "Miss Luo, about what happened five years ago, I'm sorry, we thought you..."
His thinking was simple: since Lu Jingxiao was pretending to be an ordinary person, he assumed that Luo Zhiwei broke up with him because she disliked Lao San.
He angrily accused Luo Zhiwei of being a snob and a gold digger.
That's absolutely ridiculous.
He was young and impetuous, and acted without thinking, which led him to offend Luo Zhiwei.
“President Li, I...I don’t remember anything, so I don’t feel anything about what you’re saying right now. Whatever you did before, you don’t need to take it to heart. I...don’t care.”
She didn't want to dwell on things she had already forgotten.
Lu Jingxiao frowned: "What did you do to Weiwei?"
Li Huaijin: "......"
Gu Yulin awkwardly touched his nose: "Third brother, let's take care of business first. Business is more important."
Although Luo Zhiwei didn't remember, she could tell that the two people had probably said some unpleasant things. Since Lu Jingxiao didn't know, then so be it.
"Mr. Lu, these are my mother's belongings..."
Lu Jingxiao took a deep breath.
All they know is how to team up with others to bully him.
"Wei Mingfeng, you have five minutes to tear down the gate!"
The sound of the excavator starting up finally disturbed Zhao Tingguo and his family of three.
They thought Luo Zhiwei had already left, and were powerless against their show of force.
But what's that rumbling sound outside?
Zhao Tingguo and Lin Wanru appeared in their pajamas, both looking groggy. Zhao Tingguo shouted sternly, "Butler, what's going on? What happened outside?"
The butler rushed in from outside, trying to suppress his smile: "Sir, something terrible has happened! Mr. Lu and Miss Lu are bringing people to tear down the main gate."
If we only talk about the young lady, then all the anger can only be borne by her. But if we bring President Lu along... he should be able to shield her from the disaster.
"What?!"
Why did that plague god Lu Jingxiao come?
"Then what are you standing there for? Make them stop right now!"
