Lu Zhiwei made no attempt to hide her ambition.
Looking at Lu Zhiwei, who was so audacious and overconfident, Old Master Luo lowered his head and smiled.
"Other women, in order to curry favor with the Luo family, would try their best to hide their ambitions at all times and conceal them completely in order to please me."
Only by setting aside their ambitions can they gain my approval to marry Luo Xiu.
You are indeed completely different from ordinary women.
It's no wonder Luo Xiu likes you so much.
Lu Zhiwei crossed her arms and responded to Old Master Luo with an aloof attitude: "I've always been different from other women, and it's not like Old Master Luo didn't know that today."
"Lu Zhiwei, if your ambition matches your strength and you genuinely love my Xiu'er, I will grant your wish. With your help, Xiu'er and the Luo family can reach new heights."
But your ambition is too great, and you can only stand on the clouds by yourself.
Then I'll have to cut down the ladder you're climbing.
A person can have ambition and ability, but it depends on how they use it.
"If it's used to destroy the Luo family, then I will never allow that day to come."
The old man stomped his cane heavily.
Lu Zhiwei caught the murderous intent in the old man's eyes.
She stood up with a smile: "Now that things are settled, I will be able to marry Luo Xiu soon. Even if you object, you can't change anything."
After saying that, Lu Zhiwei prepared to go back to her room.
Grandpa Luo watched her retreating figure and snorted coldly, "Miss Lu underestimates this old man too much. As long as I'm not in my coffin, I still have a sliver of ability to control the situation."
"Guards, arrest Lu Zhiwei."
The villa's bodyguards exchanged glances, hesitant to approach, after all, she was the young master's favorite woman.
Daisy, who was observing from the shadows, had been holding her breath, wanting to find an opportunity to get revenge for the humiliation she suffered that day.
The old man arrived just in time.
Seeing that no one was moving, Daisy immediately stepped forward and shoved a few bodyguards over: "The master has spoken, what are you all standing there for? Do as he says."
The bodyguard then acted as the old man instructed, grabbing Lu Zhiwei's hands and restraining her.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Lu Zhiwei feigned indignation.
Grandpa Luo sat calmly on the sofa, picked up his teacup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and he smacked his lips in enjoyment: "With me here, you can forget about marrying my son. Your wedding is off."
"You lot, throw this woman into the sea to feed the fish," the old man ordered his bodyguards bluntly.
The bodyguards who had captured Lu Zhiwei dared not make a move.
"Master, what will we do if the young master finds out?"
"Just say it was my order, what can he do?" Old Master Luo slammed his teacup down on the coffee table.
Water from the teacup splashed everywhere.
Lu Zhiwei bit her lip tightly, her clear eyes filled with anger: "Old man, Luo Xiu has complained to me many times that he can't bear your absolute authority in the Luo family. If I die at your hands, he will definitely kill you."
He had long harbored thoughts of patricide; I think you know that better than I do.
Lu Zhiwei's words hit the nail on the head regarding the truth the old man least wanted to admit.
Luo Xiu wanted to kill his father, something he had known for a long time.
"For the sake of the Luo family, I'm old enough to die, so be it," the old man stubbornly insisted.
"But you'll still be heartbroken, won't you? You've put so much effort into him, and this is the result you've gotten. Even if you accept it yourself, what will the rest of the Luo family think of Luo Xiu? What will the outside world think of him?"
Can you guarantee he can withstand the rumors from the outside world?
"When he's strong enough, what do he need to care about rumors? Lu Zhiwei, your silver tongue is just a sign of your cowardice. No matter what you say, you must die."
Luo Xiu, that brat, constantly neglects his duties for you, repeatedly abandoning his grand plans to come to this island and indulge in romance with you. A man building his career must be protected from a vixen like you. He will be ruined by you.”
The old man seemed completely deaf to Lu Zhiwei's advice.
Lu Zhiwei was not afraid of death.
She just didn't want it to be this way.
Otherwise, all her planning for so long would have been for nothing in the end.
"Old man, if you insist on killing me, I have nothing to say, but I have only one request: don't throw me into the sea. What I care about most is my hands that I use to paint. If they are bitten by sharks, I will die with my eyes open in disgrace."
Furthermore, if you want me to die, you can choose the safest way: drug me, make me sick a few days later, and by the time I fall ill, you'll have already left the island by boat, extricating yourself completely.
What right does Luo Xiu have to kill you?
Lu Zhiwei tried to entice the old man toward her intentions.
The old man stroked his chin, his aged eyes half-closed as he looked at her: "You're afraid of pain, yet you want me to choose the most comfortable way for you to die. You wish."
"If the old man doesn't agree, then forget it. Just have someone throw me into the sea now. Luo Xiu checks on me on the island every day. If I disappear, he will rush back from the United States immediately. You won't be able to escape either."
If I can have the old man accompany me on my journey, then my death will not have been in vain.
Moreover, if Luo Xiu knew of my death, he would be devastated and would have no heart to care about the great cause in the United States.
In the end, it's still a losing proposition; the old man had better think it through.
Lu Zhiwei finished her analysis with the old man in a logical and methodical manner.
The old man, who was determined to kill Lu Zhiwei, clearly hesitated.
Just as he was frowning and considering things again and again...
Daisy stepped forward and whispered in the old man's ear, "Sir, there is a virus vaccine stored in the safe on the island. This vaccine has a seven-day incubation period, during which she is no different from a normal person."
The illness began seven days later, with varying degrees of atrophy appearing in the hands and feet. Then, the internal organs began to ulcerate…
After we gave her the medicine, we locked her in the room. When the young master asked, we told him she wanted to be alone. By the time the young master returned after finishing his important business, she was already dead.
If the young master investigates the matter, just say she opened the safe herself, refused to marry him, and committed suicide. It has nothing to do with you.”
After listening to Daisy's advice, the old man suddenly understood.
He looked at Daisy with deep admiration: "You're quite the clever housekeeper."
Lu Zhiwei, who was being held by her bodyguard, lowered her head and smiled faintly.
She had to thank Daisy; the woman's scheme was exactly what she wanted.
She tried every possible way to steer the old man toward this, but she couldn't be 100% sure she would succeed.
Daisy's words were key to the success of her scheme.
"What are you waiting for? Go get that antiviral medication and inject it into her," the old man instructed Daisy.
Daisy nodded: "I'll go get it right away."
"No, you can't do this to me! You'll all die a horrible death! I don't want to die like this! My hands can't atrophy! I still want to paint!" (This was said to be part of a larger narrative, intended to make the performance more realistic.)
Lu Zhiwei struggled to break free from the bodyguard's grasp, screaming and screaming incessantly.
