He was about to take control of the Lu Group, yet his family still believed that his marriage should be decided by them, which was absurd.
Jiang Hanyan was merely a pawn in his power struggle with the previous generation of leaders.
Lu Mingyan wouldn't have such a deep conversation with someone he wasn't familiar with, and he tacitly accepted Jiang Tian's guess.
Chen Zizhuo smiled without saying a word. As a playboy, he was the best at telling whether someone had feelings for another person.
Even though the actress was chasing after him every day, his brother didn't seem to care.
It was already late at night when the car drove into the Lu family's house.
The elderly man rushed back by plane without considering whether it would be inconvenient for others.
He can see whomever he wants, and everyone has to make way for him.
This sense of superiority that came from his long-term possession of power led him to believe that others could do the same.
Indeed, even Jiang Tian, who was recording a program at the time, was called over.
Jiang Tian and Chen Zizhuo followed Lu Mingyan inside.
Upon seeing Chen Zizhuo, no one else said anything, but their expressions changed slightly.
"Wait here for a moment. Grandpa wants to see me and Jiang Tian."
Chen Zizhuo showed no sign of discomfort. He nodded with a smile and said to Jiang Tian, "Honey, come out quickly. I'm a little scared to be here alone."
Jiang Tian smiled at him as well.
The conversation between the two was intimate yet playful, suggesting a very close relationship. After all, no one would call another person "darling" for no reason.
By the time Lu Mingyan led Jiang Tian into the study, the old man had already heard rumors.
"grandfather."
"Grandpa Lu."
The old man ignored his grandson and looked directly at Jiang Tian: "I heard I wanted to see you, but you brought your boyfriend instead?"
"Yes, Grandpa, I guessed you wanted me to marry your grandson, but I already have another partner. I hope you can bless us instead of breaking up a loving couple."
Jiang Tian remained calm and composed, showing no sign of timidity despite the old man's imposing presence.
The old man smiled and said, "I'll double the amount my grandson gave you. Now that we've finally made it through this difficult time, let's all speak frankly and openly."
Jiang Tian didn't speak immediately, but looked at the man next to her with a half-smile.
Lu Mingyan remained calm and said, "Grandpa, Jiang Tian and her boyfriend are in a serious relationship."
The old man seemed even happier: "Did my refusal to let you marry an actress make you so upset?"
"No, Grandpa, I'm just stating a fact."
The old man ignored Lu Mingyan, his tone calm yet sharp: "The Lu family is large and powerful, and many people want a piece of our pie. But I judge people by my first impression. It's one thing if your fiancée is from the Jiang family, but she isn't, so she's not good enough for you."
“We have been engaged for many years. I have always regarded her as my fiancée since I was a child. You told me to finish what I started, but now you are asking me to break my promise. It seems hypocritical.”
Lu Mingyan's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
“Our family is going to marry a daughter from the Jiang family. The reason for the bloodline test is to see if the child is of this family’s bloodline. That actress is not of the Jiang family’s bloodline, so she is not qualified to marry you.”
The old man must have said these words to him many times. Lu Mingyan's face showed no emotion, and he remained silent.
