The lounge in Luohe was completely silent. Ever since Luo Jingyi walked out, drenched in sweat, no one dared to come in again.
Anyone with a brain knows he can't be in a good mood today, and nobody wants to provoke him.
Being forced to step down has become a laughing stock in the industry. If Luo He can be in a good mood, then she is truly heartless.
The butler wore a sour expression and glanced down at his wristwatch.
What's meant to happen will happen eventually. If we don't go in and inform Luohe soon, this banquet will probably fall apart.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, Luo He came out from inside.
The wrinkles on his face resembled dried orange peel, dull and shrouded in gloom.
The butler lowered his head slightly and swallowed.
"Sir, the auspicious time is approaching; you should proceed to the banquet hall."
The end of science is metaphysics; in the world of the wealthy, many inexplicable things are simply replaced by metaphysics.
Whether it's a company ribbon-cutting ceremony or an abdication, people always choose an auspicious day.
Luo He looked around and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Neither Yuquan nor Hongqing came?"
The butler kept his head down and didn't say anything.
Silence is the best answer.
Luo He straightened her clothes, her expression returning to its usual calm.
He is the spiritual pillar of the Luo family. Even if he steps down today, he is still the patriarch.
As long as he is still alive, the Luo family will not fall.
I walked out of the lounge and went outside.
Luohe looked up at the disappearing sun.
This awful weather.
Just a moment ago the sun was shining brightly, but now it's deathly still.
Okay, that's quite fitting for the occasion.
Luo He walked slowly forward, accompanied only by his butler and a few bodyguards in the distance. Gone was the scene of being surrounded by a crowd; he looked somewhat lonely.
The cobblestone path stretched on and on, like the life he was about to complete.
He sighed inwardly.
He has lived a worthwhile life. Although the events of the past year have changed everything, they cannot erase the glorious deeds that his descendants will remember.
Even if he were to meet the ancestors after today, he would still dare to speak standing up.
Thinking of her rebellious granddaughter, Luo He was overwhelmed with complex emotions.
Do you regret it?
No.
The only emotion missing from these is regret.
He never thought he had done anything wrong.
Arranged marriages for mutual benefit are a matter of course; even if the Emperor himself came, he would dare to refute it.
The rise and fall of a family determines the life and death of many people. You, Luo Qingyan, are not some high and mighty princess. Why can't you do something for the family like other women?
Looking for true love?
Oh!
Thinking of this reason, Luo He wanted to laugh even more.
She's not a teenage girl anymore. What era are we living in? How can anyone still fight for such a vague and unfounded reason?
The problem is...
It seems she really succeeded.
And so, that unfilial granddaughter found so-called true love; the kind of story that only exists in the fairy tale world happened to her.
Her Prince Charming bravely fought the evil dragon with a sharp blade.
Does it even need to be said who the evil dragon is?
As she thought about it, Luohe couldn't help but laugh.
What a terrible analogy! It's so bad it's even insulting myself.
However, the ending of this story is unlikely to be as perfect as a fairy tale.
After I fall, that Prince Charming will probably be next.
Given Qin Bai's intelligence, he should be able to see the pros and cons behind this matter.
pity.
What's the use of figuring it out?
Sometimes, a well-intentioned, overt strategy is harder to break than a covert one.
Since they dare to put their things out in the open, they're not afraid of you causing trouble.
Therefore, he was very much looking forward to seeing how Qin Bai would respond at that time.
But will I really live to see that day?
It doesn't matter anymore. If he can really save the Luo family, he can walk to the end of his life today.
"Oh, you can still laugh? I must say, your attitude is something I, as a junior, should learn from."
The bodyguards, seeing the newcomers, acted as if facing a formidable enemy and quickly surrounded Luo He.
Luo He waved his hand: "You may leave. Do not approach without my orders."
The butler gritted his teeth, staring at the young man before him, and said urgently, "Master, you can't..."
"Get down."
The heavy sound dissipated into the air.
Ten seconds later.
Luo He asked, "Qin Bai, say what you want to say now. Even if you point your finger at me and curse me, no one should interrupt you."
The victor is king, the loser is villain; Luohe takes this matter in stride.
In his eyes, Qin Bai was a vindictive person, and he would never let go of such a good opportunity to kick someone when they were down.
People, you know.
The hardest thing is accepting your own failure.
Fortunately, he had this awareness.
Qin Bai chuckled, hands in his pockets: "Do you really think I'm that worthless?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Hehe, you have a good eye for people."
Qin Bai smiled so much that his eyes narrowed together.
"However, on the other hand, you are Qingyan's grandfather after all, and can be considered my elder. So, it's better to keep some harsh words to yourself. After all, I'm a very magnanimous person."
Luo He sneered, "You're practically wearing your smugness on your sleeve. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Qin Bai smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just felt a little lonely walking this road by myself, so I came to keep you company."
"My elder brother and second uncle have things to do and can't keep you company, and Qingyan isn't at the manor."
"The rest of the Luo family see you as a plague. They dare not come over. If the current patriarch sees you, he will probably suffer the consequences."
Luohe stared at him for a while.
"I never imagined that you would be the one accompanying me on this final leg of the journey, it's truly..."
After thinking for a long time about adjectives, Luohe gave up.
There's no point in trying to win arguments now; even if you verbally abuse Qin Bai to death, it won't change the current situation.
"Since you're not afraid that I'll bring you bad luck, then come and walk with me forward."
The two walked side by side, and to outsiders, it really looked like a scene of a loving grandfather and a filial grandson.
"Qin Bai, you must be feeling pretty smug right now, right?"
"Huh? No, hahaha, really no, I'm the kind of person who, hahahaha... sorry, I just couldn't help it."
Qin Bai's mouth was stretched almost to the back of his ears; he was anything but elegant.
Luo He chuckled softly, "I can understand. At your age, you've already forced the Luo family to change their patriarch and turned the capital upside down. You have the right to be arrogant."
"Thank you for the compliment, but there's no Little Sugar here."
Luo He glanced at him: "I'm quite curious why your father misjudged you and ignored you completely."
"Because he is kind."
It's pointless to bring up a dead person and desecrate their corpse.
Qin Bai didn't want to waste time on this topic.
