Chapter 7: A good hand of cards, played badly



When Mr. Lu came in, the servant had just helped her sit on the sofa.

"Xiao Xi, you are exhausted, right? When Yun Xiao comes back, we can have dinner."

Bai You smiled politely and replied respectfully but not humbly: "Grandpa Lu, it's okay for me."

Lu Hongbo nodded and was very satisfied with Chu Lanxi. He always felt that she had become more obedient after waking up this time.

There was a sense of generosity and composure between her eyebrows. Even in front of him, she was timid before, but now, she is very generous. Well, she is becoming more and more compatible with Yun Xiao. Not bad.

Old Master Lu looked at Chu Lanxi sitting on the sofa and became more and more satisfied with her. She was worthy of being the granddaughter of his good comrade-in-arms. She was so outstanding and a perfect match for his good grandson.

Lu Group.

The person in charge of Lu Group's largest project pointed to the densely packed text and data on the high-definition screen in the conference room and said to Lu Yunxiao: "Mr. Lu, this project has officially started. As long as the follow-up funds are in place, this project will bring huge benefits to the entire company. We..."

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling."

Hearing the sudden ringing of his cell phone, Lu Yunxiao frowned.

All the shareholders looked at Lu Yunxiao's gloomy brows and subconsciously touched their mobile phones. When they were sure that it was not their phones ringing, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Lin, who was sitting next to Lu Yunxiao, took out his phone in frustration, glanced at Lu Yunxiao, and said with a stiff upper lip: "Lu Yong, it's the old house calling."

Lu Yunxiao frowned helplessly, and finally reached out to take the phone that Mu Lin handed over.

As soon as the call was connected, the housekeeper's nervous and stuttering voice came out, "Young... Young Master, Master... Master has fainted. Please come back quickly... quickly."

After all, he had never lied. To be more precise, he had never lied to Lu Yunxiao. The moment he opened his mouth, he exposed himself.

The master fainted. When he called himself, he sounded nervous rather than anxious, and asked him to come back quickly. His lying skills were really poor.

Considering what the old man said yesterday, even if he used his toes to guess, he would know what he was planning.

Lu Yunxiao curled the corners of his lips and said to the other end of the phone: "I understand."

Then he hung up the phone, opened the address book, and called another person.

Mr. Lu fought in the battlefield when he was young. Now he is old and has some chronic illnesses. Lu Yunxiao's company is not very close to here. In order to prevent the old man from having an accident, he hired a family doctor and arranged a villa for him to live in near the old house.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy this time.

Old Master Lu was happily waiting for his grandson to come back, and his plans were ringing loudly, but the arrival of the family doctor shattered all his plans.

The family doctor looked at the lively Lu Hongbo and was at a loss as to what to do.

Lu Hongbo looked at the family doctor, coughed twice, and then said: "Well, call Yun Xiao and tell him that I'm unconscious and ask him to come back quickly."

Family doctor: “…”

He is just an employee, please don't make things difficult for him.

"Mr. Lu, please don't make things difficult for me. Mr. Lu pays me a salary, so of course I have to listen to him."

Lu Hongbo: “…”

Half an hour later.

Lu Yunxiao, who had just come out of the conference room, answered a call from his family doctor.

"Mr. Lu, old man, you are in good health."

"Yeah, I understand."

He guessed the old man's thoughts very accurately.

Lu Yunxiao held the phone and thought for a while, then called Mu Lin.

"For the overseas collaboration, I'll go by myself. I'll prepare the plane and leave in an hour."

Without even responding to Mu Lin who was packing his things, he hung up the phone.

Mu Lin looked at the black screen of his phone, bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't it agreed that he would go for this overseas cooperation? Why did Mr. Lu want to go alone?

Mu Lin looked down at the things he had almost packed, sighed helplessly, and resigned himself to his fate before taking out the eight things again.

Start packing things for Mr. Lu.

Lu Hongbo, who was in the Lu family's old house, didn't plan to play any more tricks after his plan to pretend to be sick to get Lu Yunxiao to come back fell through.

Call Lu Yunxiao directly and order him to come back.

But the result was that the phone was turned off. Mr. Lu was unwilling to give up. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. After thinking about it, he called the secretariat again.

The news we received was that Lu Yunxiao had gone abroad.

Lu Hongbo: “…”

Bai You looked at the Lu family's old house that was widely talked about by the outside world. Since she came in, she only saw the garden, the path, and the main building where she was.

It can be seen that this house has a sense of age, and the decorations and furniture are all retro.

It is solemn and dignified, worthy of being the residence of the Lu family's helmsmen for generations.

"Xiao Xi, are you getting impatient? That brat Yun Xiao is busy with work all day and can't spare even half a day. He's gone abroad to discuss cooperation. He can't make it back. Next time, next time, Grandpa Lu will definitely let him accompany you properly."

When Lu Hongbo walked in, he saw Bai You with her brows lowered and looking very depressed. He thought she was disappointed that Lu Yunxiao could not come back.

So she hurried forward and explained it to her.

In fact, Bai You was just wondering how she got into that car accident.

I didn't think about the mess that Mr. Lu thought it was.

Bai You looked at Mr. Lu. Although he was old, the cold and hard aura around him had not diminished in the slightest.

But at this moment, he smiled at her very kindly and looked a lot kinder.

Unexpectedly, the original owner of her body was such an old man who was extremely kind to her, and had power, status and money.

With the support of Mr. Lu, Chu Lanxi had a good hand, so she really couldn't understand how she had ruined such a good hand.

Seeing that Bai You didn't say anything, Mr. Lu thought she was feeling aggrieved.

Suddenly, I felt so distressed that I quickly said, "Xiao Xi, don't be surprised. I'll call that brat and ask him to come back quickly."

Bai You: "..."

How did he know that she felt wronged?

Bai You stopped Lu Hongbo who was about to make a phone call and said helplessly: "Grandpa Lu, you think too much, I'm not sad."

Mr. Lu looked at Bai You suspiciously, "Then why don't you say anything?"

"I was just thinking about something."

Old Master Lu thought Bai You was comforting him, and immediately felt that this child was sensible and caring.

"Xiao Xi, don't worry, Grandpa Lu will never let you suffer any injustice."

Bai You smiled and didn't intend to continue arguing with Mr. Lu on this topic.

"Grandpa Lu, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
