Chapter 648 It’s time to calm down
The sound of fireworks was heard outside, and when Lu Tingchuan went out, he saw the illuminated sky.
Only then did he realize that today was Christmas.
How did he spend Christmas last year?
Lu Tingchuan thought about it carefully. At this time last year, Shen Qing was by his side. At that time, Shen Qing was well-behaved and never thought of leaving him.
And he was trying hard to train Shen Qing to be Shen Zhichu's substitute, and wanted her to learn the violin, which she had never touched before.
Last Christmas Eve, he asked Shen Qing to play "Ode to Joy" to hear the results.
As a result, she played the "Ode to Joy" like a funeral song, which ruined the mood.
…
It was no secret that Lu Tingchuan was keeping a mistress while marrying into the Li family, but no one had ever mentioned it.
The embarrassment at the Li family's engagement party would offend two families at once, and no one could afford to offend them.
But there are always some fools who get carried away after drinking a few glasses of wine and ask Lu Tingchuan directly at the table: "Master Lu, I heard that you have a lover outside and she ran away on the day of your engagement party with Miss Li."
Lu Tingchuan raised his eyes. He knew this person. He was from the Zhang family and was an old classmate of Li Yun.
When he decided to get engaged to Li Yun, Lu Tingchuan secretly investigated Li Yun thoroughly, including the schools she attended since childhood and the people she knew. The more he knew about her, the more he would make her feel that he cared about her.
In one sentence, the atmosphere of the whole place froze.
This Zhang man probably likes Li Yun. He asked this question to her face without any regard for Lu Tingchuan's face or the Li family's reputation. It was obvious that he came to seek justice for Li Yun.
"The world is so big. If someone gets lost in China, it's not a big deal. But if someone gets lost abroad, it's dangerous. I saw a news report a while ago about a woman who was kidnapped while traveling abroad. Her body was eventually dumped in a landfill, crushed into pieces by the trash. It sounds cruel."
The person next to him kicked him and signaled him to stop talking.
"Why are you kicking me? I'm kindly reminding Mr. Lu, but I'm wrong, right?"
Lu Tingchuan stood up immediately, a gloomy look between his brows. After a moment, he glanced over, revealing his white teeth and a sinister smile. "Don't worry about it, Young Master Zhang. My rabbits are very smart. If I can't find them, no one else can catch them either."
A rabbit locked in a cage may seem well-behaved, but in reality, it will die if it is taken to the wild. The wildness in its bones cannot be easily erased.
However, Lu Tingchuan was confident he could catch this rabbit. How far could an anesthetized rabbit run? One day, she would collapse in his sight. Then he would point his gun at her and see if she dared to escape.
"Instead of caring about my little pet, Master Zhang should pay more attention to your parents."
After saying this, Lu Tingchuan left the table.
It took Lu Tingchuan a while before the atmosphere in the private room finally relaxed.
"Young Master Zhang, how dare you mess with Lu Tingchuan? He's a lunatic!"
"Crazy? Am I afraid he might bite me? Our Zhang family is not to be trifled with."
When the others heard this, they sneered twice. It seemed that they could not eat this dinner anymore. They stood up, took their clothes and went home. They were too lazy to persuade this idiot. They wished to stay away from the Zhang family to avoid bad luck and get into trouble.
The next day, Zhang's stock price plummeted, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions.
When Director Zhang heard that it was his own son who had reached out to Lu Tingchuan of the Li family, he was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. He beat his stupid son until his face was bruised and swollen, and then dragged him to the Li family to apologize.
The Li family couldn't get in, and only the housekeeper said, "Our old man said that he has no say in this matter. The person your Zhang family really needs to apologize to is not here."
Director Zhang felt as if a thorn in his side heard this. This sentence seemed to have little meaning, but upon closer analysis, Mr. Li's seemingly indifferent attitude was actually supporting Lu Tingchuan.
I didn't expect Lu Tingchuan to cause such a big trouble at the engagement party. Old Master Li hasn't given up on him yet. It seems that the position of the heir to the Li family will fall on Lu Tingchuan.
Not seeing anyone, Director Zhang took the gift to Li Group to look for Lu Tingchuan, but was stopped downstairs and couldn't even get into the elevator.
If you want to see Lu Tingchuan, you need to make an appointment. If you don’t have an appointment, you can only wait.
After waiting for a long time, all I got was a word from Lu Tingchuan's assistant.
"Mr. Lu has been in a bad mood recently. Director Zhang and Mr. Zhang both understand the reason. He will only be willing to meet outsiders when his mood improves."
The only way to make Lu Tingchuan feel good is if he finds the missing person.
Director Zhang blushed with anger, cursing this illegitimate child in his heart for being so inhuman.
I can only curse in my heart and dare not show any dissatisfaction on my face.
…
Old Master Li has been in a bad mood recently, mainly because he was angry about his unfilial descendants.
After seeing the doctor, taking medicine and receiving intravenous drips every few days, those eyes that had always been bright have now begun to become cloudy.
The old housekeeper, Uncle He, was sitting by the bed massaging his legs, telling Mr. Li about recent events, both good and bad, to cheer him up.
Old Master Li had lived to such an old age and had experienced everything. Although he was very angry about Lu Tingchuan's messed up engagement party, he wouldn't be so angry for that long.
No matter what, Lu Tingchuan is still a member of the Li family and his grandson. No matter how bad he is, it is not the place for outsiders to point fingers at him.
Old Master Li narrowed his eyes and asked, "How is the Li family doing?"
"Nothing."
"It's been three months, it's time for you to calm down."
"Young people are hot-tempered. Miss Li and Mr. Lu haven't been in touch recently. I'm afraid the marriage is off the table."
"I won't brag." Old Master Li looked old and frail, his voice hoarse. "The Li family is eager to get this marriage. You should know that any family that wants to marry into the Li family is marrying up."
That's true.
"Open the second drawer in the study and take out the USB drive inside. Find someone to give it to Li Yun. She can do whatever she wants with the contents. After she's vented her anger, she should calm down. Li Yun will understand."
"Yes." Uncle He nodded, turned around and handed over the task that Grandpa Li had instructed him to do.
…
While there were a lot of things going on in China, Shen Qing was living a comfortable life abroad. Jiang Yiming, in particular, had already begun to happily imagine the scene of having a wife and children and a warm bed.
The older he got, the smoother his money-making process became. Jiang Yiming gave all the money he earned every day to Shen Qing for safekeeping.
It didn't take long before there was a six-digit deposit in the bank card.
Shen Qing went from being terrified at the beginning to being more and more calm now. Her current life is something she never dared to imagine before.
Sometimes she would inadvertently recall the days when she was with Lu Tingchuan in the past, when he locked her up at home as a pet, a thing without dignity, or when he kept her in the hospital and wanted to commit suicide every day.
Whenever she thought of these things, she would break out in a cold sweat. For her now, the past was undoubtedly a nightmare.
