Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Pretending not to know or really not knowing...
Henghua Leju is not located in a remote area. It is adjacent to the financial center of Haiding District and is less than half an hour's drive from Yufeng Group. It may only take fifteen minutes by subway.
Fortunately, Lu Zongxin was not so cruel as to make the vice president of a group take the subway to work every day, and let Lu Sui drive the several cars gathering dust in the garage at home at will.
Lu Sui only drove away two cars. One was the Lexus he drove when he met Yu Wan. It was the car bought by the chef for his family to retire. The chef only drove it for two years before he found it too heavy. The other was the Cayenne he drove to the company. It was a car that Lu Yusen thought was old-fashioned and backward.
In the 21st-floor apartment, Lu Sui sat on the sofa, his eyes calmly watching Yu Wan walk calmly onto the stage on the TV screen. She was wearing a khaki lapel-tied shirt and matching trousers. As she walked, her thin, cold white ankles were faintly visible above her high heels. She looked capable and dashing, unlike the reserved and quiet Yu Wan he had seen when they first met.
What has never changed is probably the clear and peaceful aura of Yu Wan, which makes people unconsciously trust her and give their heart to her.
The phone on the coffee table vibrated. Lu Sui turned off the TV expressionlessly, stood up, and went to the restaurant to make himself a cup of jasmine tea.
The faint scent of jasmine mixed with the fragrance of green tea instantly filled the entire apartment.
Lu Sui sat down slowly, ignoring the continuous calls from Lu Zongxin on his phone. He took a sip of hot tea amid the buzzing sound and waited for Lu Yusen to come.
Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the apartment door.
Realizing that the door was not closed, Lu Yusen slammed the door open, walked up to Lu Sui with a gloomy face, and stared at Lu Sui sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
"The land of Xinmao was acquired by the Fu family." Lu Yusen said.
Lu Sui pushed another cup of tea in front of Lu Yusen, and said naturally, "Have some tea."
Lu Yusen clenched his teeth, but still sat down, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his long legs, and tried to calm down. "We agreed that you would handle Yu Wan's case. I trusted you so much, but the Xinmao land was still taken over by the Fu family. What on earth have you been doing during your suspension, huh? My dear brother."
Lu Yusen emphasized the last few words.
Lu Sui lifted his thin eyelids and his gaze fell on Lu Yusen. "Really? Congratulations to the Fu family. However, to correct the statement about suspension, I have already submitted my resignation to the company. I will not be involved in any group affairs from now on, nor will I return to the company. So, I may not be able to help you with the problem you are facing. What's more... when did I ever promise you that I would definitely get the land of Xinmao?"
Lu Yusen kicked with his long legs, and the glass coffee table rubbed against the marble floor tiles, making a harsh sound. The amber tea in the teacup overflowed and flowed all over the floor.
Lu Yusen stared at Lu Sui with sinister eyes: "You are just a dog raised by our Lu family. Do you think you can become a human just by putting on clothes?!"
After a while, Lu Yusen's tone softened again: "Lu Sui, you don't have any shares in Yufeng, and you know that you can't make any waves in front of Lu Zongxin. Without me, how can you realize your ambitions, how can you fight against Fu Zhiyao and get back your beloved childhood sweetheart?"
Lu Yusen continued, "I know you hate the Lu family, but you've been through this for eighteen years. If you can be patient a little longer, you'll have your day. If you want money, fine. If you want Yu Wan, fine."
Lu Sui remained silent.
Yes, without the Lu family, he was just an ordinary child who grew up in an orphanage. He was not deceived by lies and thought that being adopted by the Lu family would give him the ability to take Yu Wan out of the orphanage. The result of being taken to the Lu family was that he was beaten, locked up in a small dark room, and imprisoned. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that he would never leave secretly again.
He endured for eighteen years. Could it be that he just wanted to wait for an apology from the Lu family, let go of the hatred, and live the rest of his life in peace and happiness?
No, he wanted the Lu family to repay everything they owed him, double the amount, and make their life worse than death. As long as they were alive, they would never be able to turn things around.
Looking up again, Lu Sui's expression was as calm as ever: "Cooperation? What about the incident where you had someone follow Yu Wan?"
Lu Yusen knew that this was an excuse given by Lu Sui. He smiled and looked at Lu Sui meaningfully.
"Don't be angry. I think it was sent by the old man. You know how much he controls you. I don't know if it's retribution. He recently had a serious stroke, and I'm afraid his hemiplegia is incurable. It's because he didn't pay attention to his diet. Although he made his will a long time ago, I don't want him to die too soon. My dear brother, you can understand."
Lu Sui was unmoved: "I have already resigned. I am powerless."
During the stalemate eye contact, Lu Yusen belatedly realized that Lu Sui was no longer the hardworking and selfless Lu Sui. The current Lu Sui would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.
Lu Yusen must show sincerity.
"How about 2% of the shares?"
“5%.”
Lu Yusen frowned.
He currently holds only 13.6% of the shares, 10% of which was given to him by Lu Zongxin on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony. Once 5% is allocated to Lu Sui, he will only have 8.6% of the shares left, while his capable stepmother holds 7.2% of the shares.
After distributing the shares to Lu, he and his stepmother Zeng Wenzhi were only 1.4% away from each other.
And he is still not sure about the contents of the old man's will, which is too dangerous.
The atmosphere in the room fell into a state of stagnation. Lu Sui stood up, ignoring Lu Yusen's gaze, picked up the half-spilt teacup on the coffee table, walked to the restaurant island as if nothing had happened, and poured himself another glass of water.
Finally, when half of the water in Lu Sui's cup was left, Lu Yusen took action. He stood up and walked to Lu Sui.
"Okay, 5% is 5%." Lu Yusen stared at Lu Sui and said in a stern voice, "I want you to solve the problem caused by Cekai within a week."
"Can."
After leaving Lu Sui's apartment, Lu Yusen's pretended calm face completely shattered. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the luxury car in front of him. There were several bangs in succession until the car door was dented.
Assistant Hu Qian stood aside and listened to Lu Yusen's incompetent venting.
"Damn it, God at least give me a good brain!"
Indeed, if Lu Yusen had talent in business, Lu Zongxin would not suppress Lu Sui everywhere and be wary of him, nor would he refuse to disclose his will in advance even though he knew that he was in poor health.
All of this is for Lu Yusen.
Unfortunately, Lu Yusen was too anxious, fearing that the meat in his mouth would fall into the hands of others.
Lu Yusen got in the car, untied his tie and threw it aside, then called Song Chuchu with a sullen face.
Before receiving Lu Yusen's call, Song Chuchu and Yu Heya were sitting in the living room on the second floor of the villa, watching the live broadcast of the bidding for the New Trade Building on TV.
The live camera had no beauty effect at all, and it was directly facing Yu Wan's face, but Yu Wan had a good face shape, and her soft, slightly curly long hair was neatly draped behind her shoulders, not at all messy. In front of the high-definition camera, her skin with light makeup was flawless, and her lips were naturally rosy. Although she was clearly not a stunning look at first glance, she was particularly attractive, and people couldn't help but look at her.
Facing the interview with reporters, Yu Wan was not shy and spoke softly and forcefully: "Thank you for your concern. Please look forward to the subsequent progress of the project. The Fu's official website will be updated in sync..."
Song Chuchu bit her lip unwillingly and stared at Yu Wan on the TV screen.
She didn't understand why, when they were both working on a project, Yu Wan could stand on the stage and be interviewed by the media so glamorously, while she was so exhausted during the time she was working on the project that she had no time to dress up.
The overly sharp contrast filled Song Chuchu's heart with indescribable depression.
Turning around, he saw Yu Heya with a serious expression on her face. Her gaze was also on Yu Wan, and her eyes were filled with extremely complicated emotions.
"Mom? Mom?"
Song Chuchu called Yu Heya several times, and finally pulled the corner of her clothes hard. Yu Heya's eyes moved, and she responded to Song Chuchu absentmindedly: "What's wrong, Chuchu."
Song Chuchu pointed at Yu Wan on the screen and said, "Mom, don't you also want such an outstanding daughter? Yu Wan is the same age as me. She was also an intern at the Fu Group. Later, she joined the President's Office and became Mr. Fu's secretary. Now, she can actually independently manage a multi-billion dollar project. It's really amazing, isn't it?"
For the first time, Yu Heya avoided Song Chuchu's gaze. "What are you talking about? You are my only daughter. Mom will not compare you with others."
Song Chuchu was touched and was about to speak out about the relationship between Yu Wan and Lu Juefeng when her cell phone on the coffee table kept vibrating.
"Chu Chu, someone is calling you." Yu Heya respected Song Chuchu's privacy, turned her head away and didn't look at her caller ID.
The topic was brought up like this, and Song Chuchu picked up the phone and saw that it was Lu Yusen calling.
Yes, since Yufeng Group failed in the bid, Lu Yusen was naturally the most anxious person.
She stood up and went to the small room on the west side to answer the phone. "It's a friend calling, Mom. I'll go answer it first."
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Yusen's angry voice came from the other end: "Idiot! Didn't you tell me that 1.2 billion was the safest amount? Fu Group won it with 1.16 billion!"
Song Chuchu just wanted to curse.
She had gone to great lengths to obtain the bidding amount for the New Trade Building through Song Zhengxiong's connections, and informed Lu Yusen of it in advance. Now, Lu Yusen was the one who turned the tables on her, and Song Chuchu was not going to take the blame.
Song Chuchu: "Lu Yusen, I'm not your father, I don't owe you anything. I've already risked leaking the information to tell you the bid amount, it's your own fault that the project content can't compare to others, and you still want to build a holiday villa. Haven't you come back to your mind after running away from home? I was the last to know that Brother Juefeng left Yufeng!"
Moreover, Song Chuchu was very clear that she helped Lu Yusen for Lu Juefeng, not for the Lu family. If Lu Yusen could not help her and Brother Juefeng be together, why should she waste her time and energy.
Let’s take a look at what Lu Yusen did?
Lu Juefeng withdrew from the management of Yufeng Group last month. Song Chuchu was even the last one to know about it. She was very generous of her because she did not question Lu Yusen.
Lu Yusen also realized that he was too impulsive, so he softened his tone a bit, "Could it be that Aunt Yu didn't tell you that Lu Jufeng left the company?"
"You mean my mother?" Song Chuchu frowned, her tone cold, "I don't want to trouble her. Thanks to you, she has been dealing with the matter of my father's illegitimate child recently."
Although Yu Heya is not directly involved in the company's affairs, it does not mean that she has no support of her own. Song Zhengxiong set up a trust fund overseas in the early years, and through offshore companies established overseas, he reasonably avoided taxes and transferred finances.
Yu Heya is Song Zhengxiong's second hand.
Song Chuchu knew all this because Yu Heya told her so that she would have confidence and not be troubled by the existence of the illegitimate child.
Song Chuchu: "We just sat together to watch the bidding opening. She doesn't know that Yu Wan is the one that Jue Feng likes. Since Jue Feng is no longer in Yu Feng, there is no need for us to interact anymore. I will ask my mother to help."
With the confidence given by Yu Heya, Song Chuchu's grudge against Yu Wan was not as big as before. In terms of appearance and family background, she was much better than Yu Wan, and caring about Yu Wan's existence made her seem petty.
On the other hand, she could see that Yu Wan had no liking or love for Feng Ge.
Otherwise, after knowing about Brother Juefeng's mental illness, Yu Wan should have quit her job at Fu's and stayed with Brother Juefeng, or she should have cared more about Brother Juefeng like she did. In short, instead of continuing to stay at Fu's, she deliberately opposed the Yufeng Group and snatched the land of the Xinmao Building.
Even if Yu Wan likes Lu Juefeng, it's not true love, which means she still has a chance.
It doesn't matter if Lu Juefeng leaves Yufeng. She can ask her mother to arrange for Brother Juefeng to come to work in their Haidu Group. Song Zhengxiong is old and needs a successor. Lu Jufeng is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
Song Chuchu knows Lu Juefeng's abilities better than anyone else. He can help her and her daughter solve the problem of the illegitimate child, and also allow Haidu to continue to prosper.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Before Lu Yusen could speak, the other party hung up the phone with a beep.
Staring at the dark screen of his mobile phone, Lu Yusen became furious and was about to throw the phone away when he suddenly realized something and became suspicious.
Yu Heya actually doesn’t know who Yu Wan is?
How is this possible.
If it was someone else, Lu Yusen might still believe it, but the other party was Yu Heya, a person who held her daughter in the palm of her hand since she was a child, unwilling to let her daughter suffer any hardship, and would privately help her daughter to resolve all obstacles.
How could she resist investigating when she saw her daughter trapped in love?
Since they are going to investigate, they will definitely find out who Yu Wan is in the end, but why don’t they know Yu Wan?
Are you pretending not to know him, or do you really not know him?
Lu Yusen narrowed his eyes, the relationships between several people flashed through his mind, and his eyes darkened.
