If Lu Shirong had left some face for the Tantai family before, now with his sharp remarks, it can be said that Tantai Zhu was reduced to dust under his feet.
She was just a bonus given by the Tantai family after the cooperation between the two companies was reached.
The rhetoric of physical debt almost took off her clothes and put her naked body on the table.
Realizing that her own value had been reduced to zero, Tantai Zhu felt a huge panic in her heart, and later realized that she was nothing.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
She crawled to Lu Shirong's feet and reached out to hug her legs wearing high-waisted boots.
Lu Shirong took a few steps back and looked down at the other party expressionlessly, with a cold and indifferent expression on his face.
He turned around and walked away with a cold voice: "Liu Feng, send Miss Tantai away."
Zhao Yiting hurried in from outside with a folder.
He blocked Lu Shirong's path and reported in a low voice: "Fourth Master! Those architects have officially finalized the final design. Please take a look."
Lu Shirong took the document and looked sideways at Lu Tianxi, who was sitting on the sofa with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Xiao Xi, my sister-in-law has left breakfast for you in the kitchen. After you finish, come upstairs and find me."
"knew!"
Lu Tianxi responded and watched her uncle and Zhao Yiting go upstairs one after another.
Without the unsightly people in the Tantai family, the coldness around Lu Yiwen quickly melted.
She walked to Lu Tianxi, sat on the edge of the sofa, and followed his gaze to see her fourth uncle's leaving figure.
Lu Yiwen smacked her fourth uncle's sober and rational words, and suddenly said: "The blood in my fourth uncle's bones is cold. He will probably be alone for the rest of his life. It's hard to imagine that he will marry a woman."
Not sure what she was thinking of, she stared at the little cousin next to her, the light in her eyes becoming more and more complicated.
Lu Tianxi met her gaze, touched her cheek, and asked with a smile, "Is there something on my face?"
Lu Yiwen shook her head and sighed: "Suddenly I feel that my fourth uncle is very good to you, better than me, Brother Lin, and Xiaohui.
Ever since you were little, your fourth uncle has supported you unconditionally in whatever you want to do. Even if you bump into you, everyone around you will feel like a powerful enemy because of your fourth uncle's anger.
His tolerance and patience towards you mean that he wants to treat you as his own daughter. If your fourth uncle really has a child of his own, he will definitely be a daughter-in-law. "
After her cousin said this, Lu Tianxi also felt her uncle's preference for her.
It should be said that it is also because of her control over appearance that this preference is unique to her.
She has always thought her uncle was good-looking since she was a child. At his adult banquet, she met Lu Shirong for the first time in his official appearance.
The eighteen-year-old uncle was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He had a tall figure, a delicate and handsome face, and a noble and noble temperament.
Lu Tianxi was attracted by that face that she could only describe with beautiful words.
She didn't know what it was to be reserved, so she rushed up and hugged Lu Shirong's thigh, holding his hand and calling him "brother" sweetly.
Later I found out that he was called a junior, and the beautiful brother turned out to be an uncle.
For the next twelve years, she continued to enjoy her brother-in-law's gentle pampering.
At that coming-of-age banquet, in addition to remembering her brother-in-law's good looks, she also had another word deeply imprinted in her memory - illegitimate child.
My uncle did not return to the Lu family until he was eighteen years old, and his identity was announced personally by his still-living cousin.
But he couldn't stop some people from maliciously speculating about his uncle's identity.
After so many years, rumors from the outside world still continue.
It was not until the Lu Group was taken over by the younger cousin who was recognized as an adult that everyone was shocked and puzzled.
When Lu Tianxi grew up, she was also curious about the identity of her younger cousin, and even asked her father Lu Wanliang personally.
She remembered her father's heavy expression at that time, and it took a long time before she said: Lu Shirong is her cousin's favorite child, and he is also the younger brother whom he values the most.
Grandfather cousin’s favorite child, uncle uncle’s most valued brother.
Subconsciously, isn't it that my uncle is 100% of the Lu family's bloodline?
But Lu Tianxi couldn't feel the sense of belonging that the Lu family gave him from his uncle.
He is always at the edge of the family, giving people the feeling that he will leave at any time.
Recalling the long-standing memories, Lu Tianxi shook his head and chuckled, stood up and invited his cousin to go to the kitchen to eat together.

Upstairs, study.
The man sitting in front of his desk, looking down at the city wall design drawings that had been revised many times and finally finalized, lowered his eyes.
Zhao Yiting stood at the table and reported: "As agreed, the person in charge of the battlefield and the marble wholesale factory pulled the goods to the area where the protective wall was to be built.
Our people were attacked by zombies and alien beasts during the escort process, losing two brothers, and the ordinary people responsible for hauling the goods also suffered many casualties.
There are currently more than 8,000 people who have signed up to build the city wall, including those from the city. They have been urging when the construction will start. "
Lu Shirong pinched the root of his nose, closed the folder, thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing wrong with the drawings. You can take someone to escort the designer to the site for investigation.
If there are no problems in the survey, let the workers start work at any time. Zhang Yiming is not responsible for guarding these workers and notifying him to prepare for departure. The workers' meals will be delivered as soon as possible. "
Zhao Yiting stepped forward, picked up the folder on the table, turned and walked out the door.
"Wait!" Lu Shirong called to the other party, tapped the table with his fingertips, and said slowly: "The number of workers is not enough. You ask the people below to find a way to recruit 10,000 people as soon as possible."
"yes--"
Zhao Yiting nodded slightly, opened the door and left.
Lu Shirong was alone in the quiet study.
Ding!
The sound of a lighter broke the quiet space.
Lu Shirong held a cigarette between his thin lips, and his deep brows showed suppressed anger.
His high-waisted combat boots touched the ground, he rotated the office chair under him, and stared through the glass window at the hazy sky without a trace of light outside.
Heavenly eunuch?
Smacking the word that challenged the dignity of all men, Lu Shirong let out a vague sneer, and a gloomy feeling floated around him.
The painful memories buried deep in his memory flooded into his mind like old film and television scenes, cruelly corroding his heart and flesh.
Should I say that Tantai Zhu accidentally hit him, and he really let the other party reveal the truth about his hidden physical illness.
Tian Xi's unknowing expression of pity flashed before his eyes because he was distressed, and Lu Shirong's deceptively affectionate eyes contained an extremely dangerous paranoid light.
He doesn't need anyone to pity him.
Even if this pity comes from Lu Tianxi.
After more than ten years of building strong armor day after day, his pride did not allow him to be defeated.
Lu Shirong's clean-cut face looked tense, and the cigarette in his mouth left deep tooth marks due to excessive force on his teeth.
"Dong dong——"
The study door was knocked from outside.
The lingering light blue eyes blurred Lu Shirong's facial features, and his elegant and charming eyebrows regained their former warmth and warmth.
He stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray and said in a hoarse voice, "Come in."
