Lu Yulan suppressed the upward curve of her lips; it seemed inappropriate to mock Gu Luobing and Lu Xiaoyan at this moment.
She picked up another slice of meat and looked at Lu Xiaoyan.
"Want to eat?"
"eat."
"Sweetie, eat your food."
"kindness."
Lu Xiaoyan said he's ready to quit while he's ahead.
Gu Luobing couldn't help but purse her lips, "Little Lan'er, his intelligence seems to have come from the Lu family genes. How come he didn't inherit your obedient and docile nature? What a pity!"
"It's not a pity."
"Eat quickly."
Lu Yulan didn't delve into the topic, after all, this wasn't her child!
After dinner, several seals lay on their backs on the sofa.
Only Lu Xiaoyan remained sitting upright next to Lu Yulan, looking at the wrist-shaped device in her hand, seemingly fiddling with something again.
However, Lu Yulan usually doesn't care too much, so as not to arouse suspicion.
"Huh!"
"It seems the Empress has interfered in 344's affairs, Xiao Lan'er?"
Gu Luobing tried to sit up and maintain her image as a minister, but she had indeed eaten too much and couldn't move.
"Let her interfere, the entire empire belongs to her, and there's nothing I can do to her!"
Gu Luobing waved her hand, "That's not what I meant. The Empress tagged you on the StarNet, praising your courage and contributions to the Empire's culinary industry, blah blah blah..."
Lu Yulan tilted her head, coming into Gu Luobing's line of sight. "And then?"
"That's it. It seems Julie was exiled, disqualified as a candidate, and two-thirds of the Keynes Group was confiscated."
"Tsk tsk tsk! The Empress is as shrewd as ever... She took over two-thirds of Keynes's fortune with a single move. Even if Karin inherits Keynes's fortune, she will no longer be the empire's largest merchant."
Lu Yulan smiled slightly and remained silent. Who knew what was going on behind the scenes? The leader of the empire couldn't be without ambition.
They're probably being nurtured, waiting to reap the biggest harvest—who knows?
She should be grateful that Keynes was always there, otherwise the Queen would probably have noticed the miracle.
She didn't want her hard-earned company to one day become the exclusive property of the empire with a single statement about its contribution.
Lu Xiaoyan did indeed take a look at Gu Luobing. As expected, she was a woman who could rival the two beauties of the empire, and her knowledge was indeed profound.
Keynes's downfall was so swift; it would have been impossible without the Queen's influence. It just goes to show that Grandpa was right.
The Empress is becoming increasingly autocratic!
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Little Lan'er, I've prepared your blind date banquet. It's in three days, in Xinglinhai. Isn't that great?"
She had specifically spoken to Bai Furong about it, and usually the latter would hardly agree, so she didn't know why he was so quick to agree this time.
But it's good that she got away with it, since the people she invited to the invitations were all prominent figures.
Lu Xiaoyan snapped the wrist-computer interface shut down and looked at Gu Luobing, who was completely oblivious and babbling on and on.
"Si, why is it still a bit cold in May? Xiao Lan'er, is the temperature control in this room broken?"
"Maybe."
Lu Yulan gently patted Lu Xiaoyan beside her, telling him not to release any cold air at this time.
"A blind date? Sister Lan, are you really going on a blind date?"
Lu's younger brother seemed to wake up from a nightmare and then witness the nightmare with his own eyes.
"Yes, if I don't go on blind dates, I'll be an old maid by now, what a waste."
The smile in Lu Yulan's eyes seemed genuine, and Lu's younger brother glanced at Lu Xiaoyan beside him.
