Chapter 119 Male Supporting Character's Girlfriend - Food
"Dad! I won't apologize! There's no way I can apologize to Jiang Yao. I'd suffocate if I did!"
"I wasn't wrong. If it weren't for Jiang Yao, how could Lu Yu have broken up with me! She's a vixen! A vixen who specializes in seducing others!"
"Dad, Meng Tingze and I are together. Although the Meng family can't compare to the Lu family, if our two families join forces, we will definitely surpass the Lu family!"
“I called Meng Tingze and asked the Meng family to cooperate with us. I refuse to believe that we can’t survive without the Lu family!”
Le Mingru stood beside her father, speaking passionately about various methods; she would never yield to Jiang Yao.
Mr. Le shook his head helplessly: "Mingru, you're thinking too simply. Once the Lu family withdraws from our company, our cash flow will be cut off. You and Meng Tingze are currently only in a romantic relationship. It's impossible for the Meng family to come up with so much money to help us cover our losses."
Le Mingru: "Why not? Meng Tingze likes me so much, he won't disagree!"
Looking at his innocent daughter, Mr. Le continued, "The Meng family isn't run by him alone; there's also the board of directors. Besides, Old Meng wouldn't agree unless..."
"Unless what?" Yue Mingru asked anxiously upon hearing that there was a solution. Although she didn't understand business matters, she knew that her strength lay in the Yue family business, and she couldn't allow anything to happen to it!
After giving her a deep look, Mr. Yue said, "Unless the Yue family and the Meng family form an alliance through marriage, only marriage ties are the most stable and reliable!"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Le Mingru hesitated. Although she had agreed to date Meng Tingze, she had never considered taking the step of marriage.
"Dad, why don't you contact Lu Jun? Although Lu Jun is an illegitimate child, he and Lu Yu don't get along. If we help Lu Jun inherit the Lu family business, then the Lu family will continue to cooperate with us!"
Le Mingru suddenly thought of another idea, and she said it eagerly.
Mr. Le immediately rejected the idea: "No, Lu Jun's abilities are far inferior to Lu Yu's. His intelligence is no match for Lu Yu's. Right now, Lu Yu is just not cooperating with us. If he finds out that we have joined forces with Lu Jun, Lu Yu will definitely take action against the Le family, and the situation will be even worse then!"
"So what, Dad? You don't know, I met Uncle Lu by chance before. He clearly favors Lu Jun. With Uncle Lu's support, Lu Jun won't be without any confidence!"
Le's father sighed: "Mingru, wake up. Do you know who is in charge of the Lu Group now? It's Lu Yu! So what if Lu Chengtian favors Lu Jun! This company is still in Lu Yu's hands. Lu Yu's maternal grandfather is not someone to be trifled with. Lu Chengtian can't afford to offend him. Otherwise, why would Lu Yu take over the Lu Group right after graduating from university? His maternal grandfather is backing him up."
"Also, Mingru, don't even think about using any means to get revenge on Luyu. You're no match for him. He's a madman. If I had known things would turn out this way, I would have stopped you."
"There's something you probably don't know: Lu Jun once tampered with Lu Yu's car. Lu Yu found out and chopped off one of Lu Jun's fingers with a knife right in front of Lu Chengtian! Do you think Lu Jun and Lu Chengtian would dare to lay a hand on Lu Yu again?"
Le Mingru was startled by the behavior she encountered on the road, and cold sweat broke out on her back. When her father saw her like this, he could only shake his head and sigh.
“Mingru, stop thinking about meeting him on the road. Focus on building your relationship with Tingze. I will communicate directly with his father about your matter.”
Le Mingru was still somewhat unwilling and pleaded, "Dad..."
Le's father cruelly avoided looking at his daughter again: "Now there are only two choices: either apologize to Jiang Yao and beg Lu Yu to take back the money, or prepare for a marriage alliance with the Meng family."
Le Mingru remained silent for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I choose a marriage alliance."

Yao Yao's phone rang. She opened it and, as expected, it was a message from Lu Yu. He had sent her a photo of several dishes he had cooked, neatly arranged on the table, looking very appetizing.
When Yao Yao encountered a stranger on the street who hadn't sent an invitation via text or voice message, she was about to pretend she hadn't seen it when there was a knock on the door. She smiled, realizing it was someone who had come to invite her in person!
Yao Yao glanced down at her clothes, straightened them with her hands, and finding nothing amiss, she walked briskly toward the door.
As soon as the door opened, a smile appeared on the man's refined face, his fox-shaped eyes reflecting her image. His deep, mellow voice rang out: "The meal is ready. Miss Jiang, would you do me the honor of coming to my humble abode?"
With a slight tilt of her slender face, she said haughtily, "Since you're so sincere, I'll go over there."
He smiled and said, "It's an honor."
Yao Yao changed her shoes and followed Lu Yu toward his house. Lu Yu's door was not locked and was slightly ajar. Lu Yu pushed it open with one hand, making an inviting gesture.
"Please come in."
Yao Yao was amused by him, straightened her back, and like a proud little princess, stepped into the unfamiliar place at the knight's invitation.
"These slippers are new." Lu Yu placed the slippers next to Yao Yao's feet.
Yao Yao was very satisfied and praised, "You've prepared everything very well."
Lu Yu looked down at her and said, "It's nothing, not worth mentioning."
Yao Yao looked around the room. It was simply furnished, clearly indicating that she had moved in recently. There were no particularly obvious personal touches or decorations; it seemed more like a temporary residence for her.
"The restroom is over there. Wash your hands, and then we can eat," Lu Yu said gently, pointing to the spot.
Yaoyao: "Okay."
The table was laden with home-style dishes, including stir-fried spicy chicken, garlic-fried crayfish, spicy boiled fish, Mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, dry-fried cauliflower, and a tomato and egg soup. Two bowls of rice were neatly arranged on either side.
She quickly and gracefully picked up a piece of chicken, savored it carefully, and found it to be a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate—truly delicious!
Yao Yao gave Lu Yu a thumbs up: "It's delicious! Lu Yu, you're a great cook!"
Encounter on the street: "If you like it, then eat more."
Yao Yao nodded. Not having to cook for herself and being able to eat clean and hygienic meals is simply wonderful!
Forgetting to talk, Yao Yao focused on savoring the delicious food.
The meal lasted for about an hour before they finished. Yao Yao was a little full, so she leaned back in her chair and gently rubbed her stomach where no one could see her.
When Lu Yu got up to clear the dishes, Yao Yao felt a little embarrassed and immediately stood up to stop her, saying, "Let me do it. You've worked so hard cooking, I can't let you wash the dishes too."
"It's okay, Yaoyao. Here, you just need to eat." Lu Yu looked at her intently for a moment, then, without giving Yaoyao a chance to speak again, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and headed towards the kitchen.
Yao Yao stopped worrying about it and took the tissue next to her to carefully wipe the table.
The kitchen is open-plan, and from a distance, the two figures appear to intersect, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
