If Father Min's attitude in the previous conversation was tough and pressure-inducing, then this sentence now was a complete threat.
It seemed like he wanted to arouse Lu Miao's empathy as a parent, but in fact it was a warning.
His attitude was almost explicit.
If Lu Miao is still so ignorant, then he might be the one who creates problems for her children in the future.
Lu Miao's knuckles turned white as he gripped the teacup tightly.
But in just a moment, she regained her calm and peaceful demeanor:
"Uncle, this may be a little inappropriate, but I understand why you came here this time."
Gently putting down the teacup, Lu Miao smiled softly, and his tone softened a bit:
"I won't get involved in what happens next, so please do as you please."
Father Min noticed Lu Miao's brief emotional change.
Women are women.
So what if the rumors outside spread too much?
The actual confrontation was just a helpless dodder.
Thinking that Lu Miao had finally realized his own limitations, Father Min couldn't help but sneer arrogantly:
“This is the choice a smart person should make.”
The matter was settled and there was nothing more to say, so Father Min left in anger.
Lu Miao sat in front of the coffee table, his expression gradually becoming colder.
Min Qiaoqiao behaves arrogantly and disrespectfully, and her father is not only the same, but even more vicious.
A head-on confrontation with someone who has no bottom line in their values will neither yield results nor gain any benefits.
But no matter how cruel Min's father is, Lu Miao is not a pushover either.
She doesn't care about anything too much. The only two things she cares about are her family and children.
Min Qiaoqiao used her connections, so she did. The key is to do her job well. Not only did she not restrain herself, but she also acted arrogantly and boasted everywhere. She deserved to be punished.
Lu Miao had no intention of pursuing this matter any further.
Now that Mr. Min came to her house on New Year's Eve to provoke her, it was no wonder that she wanted to make things difficult for them.
Who doesn't know how to trip someone up?
There is a tactic in Sun Tzu's Art of War called "First make yourself invincible, then wait for the enemy to be defeated." Roughly speaking, it means let the enemy win first, and then let him die.
Just now, Lu Miao avoided a direct conflict with Min's father, but at this moment, she slowly stood up and walked to the phone, picked up the receiver and dialed a number:
"The Supervisory Group? I'm Lu Miao from the International Publicity Department of the British Society. I want to provide a tip-off..."
Director Feng and relevant leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation only want to whitewash the situation, which is unreliable.
Even if we force them to investigate, they won't find any results or make any progress.
But if the monitoring team is dispatched, it will be different.
Lu Miao had received inside information in advance. The higher-ups had already issued a secret notice, and now all places were waiting to catch typical anti-corruption officials.
It would be best if the Min family just used some connections.
If someone finds out something else, it will be more than just a matter of losing a layer of skin.
When Lu Miao hung up the phone and turned around, she saw her father standing at the windshield at the door looking at her.
"dad."
Lu Miao shouted.
Lu Yuanzheng nodded.
When he came back just now, Lu Yuanzheng had already heard Tang Mei's general idea.
He knew that Min's father had been here, but at this moment he just stared at his daughter twice.
Not seeing any further response from his daughter, Lu Yuanzheng felt a little relieved.
Although he didn't know why the Min family came here, his daughter should have a plan in mind for this matter.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzheng let her make the decision on her own.
Gently patting the water stains from the melted snow on his shoulders, Lu Yuanzheng took off his coat and carried it in his hand as he walked to the study.
On New Year’s Eve, every family is busy reuniting.
Fu Jingyou had been busy with his factory's affairs, and on this day he took a break and went home early.
Lu Miao had just met Lu Yuanzheng, and now he saw him coming back from outside. Thinking of what Tang Mei said at that time, Lu Miao frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel more doubtful:
"Did your aunt call you to come back?"
"Hmm? No."
The room was warm and Fu Jingyou was not cold.
When I came back from riding my bike, my hands and face were red from the wind.
He poured a cup of hot tea to warm his hands, and when he put down the kettle, he turned around and looked at Lu Miao:
"Today is Chinese New Year, and we have to put up couplets in the afternoon, so come back early..."
He was always sensitive and realized that Lu Miao's words were wrong, so he immediately asked:
"Why are you asking this suddenly? What happened at home?"
Lu Miao pursed his lips and finally chose to conceal the truth.
She chuckled softly:
"What's the big deal during Chinese New Year? You're always busy and come home late every day. I thought you forgot about Chinese New Year's Eve!"
Fu Jingyou laughed and shook his head.
Other things can be ignored, but such a grand day cannot be forgotten.
No matter how busy you are, you should still celebrate the holidays with your family.
"What are Shi An and the others doing? Put up the couplets immediately and call them out to join in."
Lu Miao smiled faintly and said:
"They're playing in the study. I'll go call them."
Lu Miao turned around and knocked on the study door.
As the door opened, the children's joyful shouting instantly emerged.
Lu Miao shouted, and all the big and small ones came into battle.
Soon the couplets were posted, and big red lanterns were hung outside the gate and in sections along the garden corridor.
With the real-time countdown to the Spring Festival Gala broadcast on TV, the festive atmosphere suddenly became stronger.
The Fu family celebrated New Year's Eve and welcomed the New Year with great enthusiasm, but on the other hand, because of Lu Miao's phone call, several important figures in northern Beijing could not have a peaceful night.
This is the case with the Min family.
When Mr. Min received an investigation call from the relevant department at the reunion dinner table, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously thought of Lu Miao.
After hanging up the phone with a rage, Father Min's hands were shaking with anger, and he quickly dialed the Fu family's number with a few "clicks".
At that time, the entire Fu family, including Xu Xiangcao, were sitting in the warm hall watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Lu Yuanzheng's position was closest to the phone.
When the phone rang, he picked it up.
He only said "Hey", but the other side recognized his voice and immediately barked:
"Lu Yuanzheng, you really raised a good daughter!"
Lu Yuanzheng glanced at his daughter.
Lu Miao's peripheral vision met his.
She thought someone was calling her and immediately got up to go over.
Lu Yuanzheng ignored the angry voice on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone in a very serious and neat manner.
Lu Miao raised and lowered her eyebrows, and Lu Yuanzheng said:
"Wrong number."
Lu Miao nodded calmly and said "Oh", vaguely guessing something.
Often times, this is how the world is.
If you have a good attitude, you can change other people's attitudes.
If you have a bad attitude, then you will be influenced by others.
The couple in the Min family must be feeling even more frustrated than her right now, right?
Lu Miao's lips curled up and his gaze returned to the TV.
Fu Jingyou glanced at her sideways, and when he saw her smiling, he thought she was amused by the show.
He raised his lips in a gentle arc, and covered her hand with his large hand, holding her fair hand tightly. He turned his face to watch the show with her. (End of this chapter)
