"A very impressive status? What status? A brilliant student learning piano with Langlang?" Commissioner Gao said. "Even if his status is impressive, he can only attend Old Master Lu's birthday as a member of the Lu family. Sitting with people from other aristocratic families, isn't that a random arrangement?"
Before Lu Qingxuan could speak, Commissioner Gao added:
"Besides, if we're talking about strong status, how strong are your father and your second uncle? Even if they come back, they can only be filial sons to Old Master Lu. Can they even sit at the table with entrepreneurs? No matter how strong Chen Ya's status is, can it be stronger than your father and your second uncle? Doesn't it make sense?"
Gao Jinliang was a little unhappy.
He thought that Lu Qingxuan was like some other Lu family members. Seeing the decline of the main Lu family, he used the seating arrangement issue to intimidate the grandmother.
It’s no wonder he thought too much, as a similar thing happened not long ago.
Yesterday, the Lu family held a small family meeting, during which several of the Lu family's assets were dealt with.
Perhaps some people were dissatisfied with the handling result, and Lu Yuanhu's daughter showed her displeasure to everyone on the spot.
She actually said openly: "If there is nothing wrong with my family, then don't invite our family to this meeting in the future. My family's business doesn't have much to do with other businesses in the clan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the grandmother's face turned pale on the spot. Lu Ningna was a gentle person, and her face turned red for a long time without saying a word. Gao Jinliang immediately scolded her severely, and it was not known whether Lu Shuying listened to him or not.
Ever since the meeting yesterday, my great-grandmother has been looking depressed and wouldn't answer when asked what was wrong. It wasn't until this afternoon that she seemed to be in a slightly better mood.
The reason why they reacted so strongly was because Lu Shuying's words just hit the most fearful part of their hearts.
The reason why the Lu family prospered in the past and the younger generations were united as one was all because they held the huge enterprise of Aihua. Lu Yuanlong was in charge of the family and his word was final. Whatever he arranged was done, everyone had soup to drink, and everything was harmonious.
Ever since Lu Yuanlong was arrested and imprisoned, and the family lost the Aihua Company, the family is far less harmonious than before, and is filled with discordant noises.
It can be said that even if the two brothers Lu Yuanhu and Lu Yuanbao left the Lu family from this moment on, it would not have any impact on their careers.
In fact, their behavior is close to separation.
Once the family is really divided, the Lu family will really fall from the top wealthy family to a second-rate family and become a laughing stock in the noble circles of Beijing.
Gao Jinliang saw Lu Qingxuan's behavior as a dangerous signal. She could put him and Chen Ya on the table with the aristocratic family today, so what she would do tomorrow was unthinkable.
Lu Qingxuan was misunderstood by Commissioner Gao, and she felt a little annoyed. She was very smart and knew what Commissioner Gao had misunderstood her about, but she couldn't explain it, as it made her feel more exposed.
Fortunately, at this time, the great grandmother said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with letting them sit at that table. They are both talented people in our Lu family. They can go to that table and chat with the other guests, so that they won't be bored."
Gao Jinliang looked at the old lady: "But..."
"There's nothing wrong with that. I understand Lu Qingxuan's personality. She's competitive and doesn't admit defeat, but she's always on the side of the Lu family and wants the best for them. She wouldn't intentionally harm them."
The old lady's gentle words touched Lu Qingxuan. With tears in her eyes, she said softly:
"Grandma, don't misunderstand me. I don't have to sit in another family's seat. My last name is Lu! It's just that we couldn't coordinate the seats for all parties before, so we just put Chen Ya here. Just like Grandma said, let him accompany the guests."
Grandma smiled and said, "But Qingxuan, you still need to revise your guest list."
Lu Qingxuan already knew that the position she had chosen would definitely have to be changed, so she humbly said, "Well, it's okay. You tell me, I'll remember it."
"Before I tell you how to change it, I'll tell you a piece of news that I don't know whether it's good or bad," said the great-grandmother with a smile.
"What?" Lu Qingxuan raised her face curiously.
"The president of Yunshan Group, Gu Yuqing, also volunteered to attend the old man's birthday party!"
After hearing the news, Lu Qingxuan and Commissioner Gao both froze.
Gao Jinliang asked hurriedly, "Grandma, when did this news come out? How come I didn't know about it?"
The great-grandmother smiled and said, "I just received the news this afternoon too. I haven't had time to tell anyone else yet. You two are the first to know."
Gao Jinliang was in a daze for a moment, and then he understood. No wonder the old lady was in such a bad mood before, but inexplicably felt better in the afternoon.
Lu Qingxuan was still immersed in shock.
When the shock wore off, the first emotion that came to her mind was... anger.
"Gu Yuqing... why is she here? What right does she have? She's clearly the culprit behind the annexation of Aihua. Grandma, why did you invite her..."
She saw the smile on her great-grandmother's face and gradually became puzzled. Then she thought about it and suddenly understood why her great-grandmother was not angry.
"She asked to come here on her own initiative, which means...she wants to ease the relationship between the Gu and Lu families?"
Old Mrs. Yu smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know."
"Then you are..."
"I don't know what her coming here means, and there's no need to know," said Old Lady Yu. "But her coming here is a signal. Not only a signal to us, but also a signal to other families."
Old Madam Yu continued, "It's Old Master Lu's birthday, and the Gu family is still coming under such circumstances. It's better to let Gu Yuqing come personally as a representative. In the eyes of other families, it is a respect for Old Master Lu and an endorsement of our Lu family. The four great families, Xia, Gu, Lu, and Qin, are ultimately on par. It's not easy for other families like the Wu family and the Wang family to make further progress."
