The two agreed to meet at the same club they had met before.
It was really not easy for Hua Shuyan to sneak out this time. Last time, Hua Yuanhua was really angry. Everyone in the entire villa could watch him and prevent him from leaving. If he tried to force his way out, Hua Yuanhua would come out and beat him.
After several attempts, Hua Shuyan gave up.
Fortunately, Hua Yuanhua was going to attend a medical conference yesterday, which would take anywhere from three to five days to ten days or half a month to return, so he finally had a chance.
But those bodyguards made a mistake last time, and they're not going to be so lenient now.
He lied to everyone that they were sleeping in their rooms, buying them two hours, and then he had to go back early to avoid being exposed.
So upon seeing Luo Yao, she immediately gave him the prescription and then asked, "Young Master Luo, how's the matter I mentioned last time?"
He was extremely anxious because he was completely cut off from information while at home!
"Young Master Hua wants to ask about... Qin Yiheng?" Luo Yao didn't pretend to be confused.
Hua Shuyan nodded repeatedly.
Luo Yao waved his hand dismissively, looking as if he were in charge of everything: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally keep my word."
He looked around, and even though there was no one else besides the two of them, he deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I've already invited a master from Rongcheng. Just wait and see what happens."
"Oh my, oh my, Young Master Luo is indeed a great man." Hua Shuyan immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.
The two exchanged compliments for a while, and Hua Shuyan, not having enough time, hurriedly left.
As soon as he left the club, the smile on his face vanished, and his expression became somewhat complicated.
Luo Yao scoffed at his retreating figure. How could Hua Shuyan possibly have such influence? He was just an enemy of Qin Yiheng.
Hua Shuyan got lucky and got a bargain; we can't let him get away with it.
On the other side, after Luo Yao left, Chu Ruoxue immediately convened a family meeting.
In fact, she was not qualified to convene the meeting under her current identity, but the situation of the Chu family was not optimistic, and other branches had also discovered it, so Chu Xiao could not act unilaterally.
Apart from Chu Linghuang, all the other prominent figures came to the Chu family villa.
Chu Xiao looked around, then nodded to Chu Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, please tell me what's going on."
Standing where everyone could see her, Chu Ruoxue said in a deep voice, "Uncles and aunts, you have all seen what has happened these past two days. Luo Yao used the marriage as bait to frame the Chu family. The group's external cooperation and competition have been affected, and there is also panic among the members. Today, we have gathered here to discuss a countermeasure."
"Is there any need to ask? It's your marriage, so naturally you should figure it out. What does it have to do with us?" The speaker was Liu Wanxia, Chu Ruoxue's third aunt, whose voice was sharp and sarcastic.
Her words were not very tactful; she clearly wanted Chu Ruoxue to marry into the family to settle things peacefully.
Before Chu Ruoxue and Chu Xiao could speak, Fifth Uncle was the first to object: "Are you kidding me! What kind of status does Ruoxue have? Even if she were to marry into the Luo family, she would never marry Luo Yao, who is from a collateral branch of the family."
Several people chimed in, "That's right, what is Luo Yao anyway?"
"If Ruoxue really marries Luo Yao, our Chu family will be even less respectable than the Luo family. What face will we have left?"
“That’s right, I absolutely cannot marry Luo Yao, not even in my wildest dreams.”
A few words made Liu Wanxia lose face, but she had relied on the Chu family to start her business all these years and her family was doing well. If the Chu family was suppressed, she would also be implicated.
"I'm just saying, the one who tied the knot must untie it," Liu Wanxia said, offering another ambiguous statement.
She wanted everyone to ignore her suggestion that Chu Ruoxue should marry into the family, but her words still angered everyone.
Chu Xiao said directly, "The bell is on Luo Yao. Are you suggesting he remove it? This is such a big matter for our Chu family. It's best for relatives of the maternal family to refrain from interfering."
Liu Wanxia's face turned pale and then green, and she could hardly stand it any longer.
She was, after all, a relative of Chu Ruoxue's mother, but just because she didn't have the surname Chu, she was ostracized by them.
If it weren't for the family business, she wouldn't be interested in coming to this meeting at all!
Liu Wanxia angrily shut her mouth, lowered her eyes, and listened intently, waiting to see what kind of drama these people would put on. If they discussed it back and forth and then married Chu Ruoxue off, she would truly laugh her head off.
"In my opinion, we should just ask the old man to step in," suggested a second brother from a collateral branch of the family.
This idea is good. As the sole leader of the Chu family, Chu Linghuang is not comparable to a family head. Even if he meets someone from the Luo family, the Luo family cannot be disrespectful.
but……
"The old man is getting on in years and has just recovered from a serious illness. Is it really a bad idea to bother him with such a person?"
"Yes, if the Luo family sees this and other families find out, they'll definitely say that our Chu family has no one left."
"Besides, what happens after the old man can keep things under control for a while? Are we just going to keep troubling him?"
Hearing this, Liu Wanxia couldn't help but say, "That's right, what if we overwork the old man and cause him any health problems?"
At first glance, her words seemed to show concern for the old man's health, but upon closer inspection...
"Liu Wanxia, what's with your sarcastic tone ever since you came into this room? Seeing the Chu family in trouble, are you hoping something bad will happen so you can profit from it?" Uncle Wu stood up abruptly; he really couldn't stand this woman.
Liu Wanxia objected: "Oh! Fifth Uncle, what are you saying? I had no idea what I was thinking. You seem to have a good idea, but I wonder if you're using me to pave the way for someone..."
Anyone with ears can tell that this "certain people" refers to Fifth Uncle.
"you!"
Fifth Uncle was a man, and naturally, he couldn't out-talk Liu Wanxia. He was so angry that he didn't know how to respond for a long time.
"Alright." Chu Xiao's voice was filled with anger.
Chu Ruoxue couldn't stand it anymore, but she didn't want to say anything because Liu Wanxia was an elder. However, time was of the essence for the Chu family.
Luo Yao's three days have now come to an end. Who knows what he will do in three days?
“Third Aunt, today’s matter concerns the Chu family and the Luo family. It’s not something you can use to scheme for small business. I know perfectly well what your company has done and what messes it has cleaned up over the years. Just because I don’t mention it doesn’t mean I don’t know.”
Chu Ruoxue's words made Liu Wanxia's face turn pale instantly.
"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Liu Wanxia glared at Chu Ruoxue. "On what grounds?"
Chu Ruoxue's voice suddenly turned icy cold: "Just because I am the president of the Chu Group, the lives of all of you are in my hands."
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, and Chu Ruoxue's powerful aura was impossible to ignore.
It wasn't until an uncle from a collateral branch, Chu Wei, spoke up in a deep voice: "Stop arguing, I've thought of a solution."
