Just like the original plot, Su Yu's debut was directly ruined.
Now, with Old Master Lu protecting her, Lu Wantang wouldn't dare to stop Su Yu from acting weird, let alone approach her. You have to know that the family recognition banquet was requested by Old Master Lu, which shows how much he values Su Yu. If someone tries to act weird in front of him, that's like wanting to be a peach.
Without Lu Wantang in the way, Li Xi and Su Yu quickly gained favor with Old Master Lu. After all, polite, sweet-smiling girls were always popular with the elderly, and since they were introduced by Old Master Lu himself, the older leaders were willing to extend their respect and goodwill to the two younger generations. Not only did they greet Su Yu, Old Master Lu's own granddaughter, but they also greeted Li Xi with smiles.
After a while of greetings, everyone came to the climax of the banquet, the recognition of relatives.
The original plan was for Mr. and Mrs. Lu to introduce Su Yu to everyone. But Su Yu got along very well with the older bosses, and after hearing so much praise for his granddaughter's cleverness and understanding, Mr. Lu felt particularly drawn to her and wanted to introduce Su Yu himself.
Before the recognition session, I specially asked the emcee to come and change the process. I stood on the stage and praised my precious granddaughter profusely. At the end, I also asked everyone present to take good care of her.
This move caught not only Li Xi and Su Yu, but also the Lu family and guests. Although the old man was no longer in charge, the authority he had built up over the years remained. His stepping forward as the introducer wasn't just a sign of his fondness for his granddaughter; it was also a way of conveying to everyone that Su Yu was also one of the heirs to the group. If she reached the right level of strength, she could surpass Lu Zifeng and become the head of the Lu family.
Mr. Lu came down from the stage with a smile on his face, while the people below had different thoughts.
Su Yu never thought about inheriting the Lu family, but she felt it was a good thing to be able to cause trouble for the Lu family's confused family members.
The big guys who had just gotten along with Su Yu actually liked this little girl. Her talent for business wasn't clear, but her character was excellent and her brain was very smart. If they focused on training her, she might actually be more capable than Lu Zifeng. Some people were secretly counting which of their grandchildren were single, what kind of moral character they had, and looking for the possibility of marriage.
The guests at the banquet had a wide range of thoughts, including surprise, curiosity, resentment, jealousy, confusion, and so on. There was a flurry of discussion, and groups of people gathered in the banquet hall, all discussing the situation. The chatter was so noisy that if you didn't know better, you would have thought it was a market.
The expressions of the other members of the Lu family were very interesting and colorful.
Lu Xiaoran was genuinely happy, smiling like a flower.
Lu's father wasn't particularly capable to begin with. Over the years, the old man claimed to be delegating power to his son, but in reality, important matters like the group's shares and the transfer of senior executives remained in his hands. Even if Lu wanted to invest in a project that would cost him a little more, his father would intervene.
Let alone Lu Zifeng. Although he's widely praised as a young talent, only he knows how much influence he has within the company, how many connections he has, and the hardships he's endured over the years. Not to mention being groomed as the heir since childhood, the hardships he's endured, the lessons he's learned, the trials he's endured—these are countless. And yet, upon Su Yu's return, he's been recognized as one of the old man's successors? Why?
Li Xi looked at Lu Zifeng's constantly changing expression, and had no doubt that if Lu Zifeng lived in the conditions of ancient times, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood and spit it out with a puff.
Lu Wantang's face immediately darkened. Since she was little, Old Master Lu had always been lukewarm towards her. She had always assumed that Old Master Lu disliked her because she was a girl. After all, Old Master Lu wasn't very warm to his other granddaughters either, so she rarely took the initiative to approach him. She maintained a well-behaved and sensible image. Who could have imagined that upon Su Yu's return, Old Master Lu would attach so much importance to her, personally ordering a family recognition banquet, and now going even further, personally introducing her as the tacit heir. Is blood relationship really that important? More important than his own companionship for over a decade?
After that incident that afternoon, Lu Wantang felt slighted. He had been eager to try to make his presence felt in front of Su Yu, but Su Yu had entered the room with Old Man Lu and was subsequently surrounded by a group of high-ranking figures, leaving him no chance for close contact. Lu Wantang had been irritated all night, and now, provoked by Old Man Lu, he felt even more irritated. He stared at Su Yu with dark eyes, as if to spur him on.
Li Xi accidentally caught her eye and was startled. What happened? The vicious female supporting character wasn't vicious anymore, so the innocent heroine turned evil?
Huh~ That's scary.
However, Li Xi didn't take it seriously. Lu Wantang's greatest strength was her men. When Old Master Lu started arranging the successor course for Su Yu, he would probably also arrange for bodyguards to protect her. If those men were even slightly afraid of Old Master Lu, they wouldn't act rashly. So Li Xi just quietly told Su Yu about it and didn't pay any more attention to it.
With Mr. Lu's support, the rest of the process went smoothly. Su Yu and Lu Wantang cut the cake together. It's worth mentioning that by this time, Lu Wantang had already calmed down and was smiling as sweetly as ever, looking soft and adorable.
Li Xi in the audience couldn't help but sigh, with such acting skills, it would be a pity if he didn't join the entertainment industry. His acting skills were much better than Shen Zhou's sister Shen Yanran's.
That's right, when Li Xi had some free time, she also watched Shen Yanran's dramas. Shen Yanran is certainly good-looking, and any one of her dramas is actually quite good, but after watching more, you'll find that her dramas aren't just about copy-pasting formulaic acting, but also about mechanical, procedural plots. Simply put, the characters in each drama are incredibly similar, even the costumes and props are very similar. If it weren't for the different names in each drama, a mashup would be the same drama.
