When Mrs. Lu came up, she rudely called for questioning, and Lu Jingchuan's face gradually became ugly.
"Mom, what do you mean by propriety? Let me follow your arrangements to get married on a blind date?"
The two faced each other tit for tat, refusing to give in even an inch.
Shen Zhinian swallowed nervously and tried his best to weaken his sense of presence. Seeing that Mrs. Lu refused to let her go, his attention turned to her again.
"I heard that Jingchuan is embarrassing the Gu family this time because of your baseless speculation?" Mrs. Lu's tone was stern, with pressure and accusation.
She didn't expect that someone who was usually easy to get along with could turn against her to such an extent. Shen Zhinian felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that Mrs. Lu's friendship was just a joke.
Shen Zhinian figured out his identity, calmed down his expression, and replied respectfully: "It is indeed just my baseless guess. I am really sorry for disturbing Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu."
Seeing her good attitude in admitting her mistake, Mrs. Lu's expression softened slightly, and her cold eyes swept over Lu Jingchuan: "You will do whatever Secretary Shen says. Why don't you listen to me like this?"
kindness? Shen Zhinian looked over doubtfully.
Seeing Mrs. Lu's expression softening just now, I thought she had forgiven me, but didn't these words still mean she was accusing her?
Lu Jingchuan frowned and emphasized unhappily: "I said, this is my order and has nothing to do with her."
"Your instruction? Then please tell me the reason." Mrs. Lu crossed her arms with disbelief on her face.
"Gu Yuan'an dared to attack the Lu family's people before she even stepped into the Lu family. Do you think this is reasonable? Moreover, Secretary Shen is very capable and is my right-hand man." Lu Jingchuan asked word by word: "She If you dare to attack Secretary Shen now, what will happen in the future?"
His question calmed Mrs. Lu down.
After a moment, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly: "Don't go too far. Appropriate punishment is enough."
She thought of something, glanced at Shen Zhinian, and ordered: "Secretary Shen, please go back first."
"Okay." Shen Zhinian got what he wanted and immediately packed up and left.
After Shen Zhinian left, Mrs. Lu took out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them in front of Lu Jingchuan: "Don't let me see these photos and circulate them in the media."
The photos showed Lu Jingchuan and Shen Zhinian having close contact. One even captured the two of them getting out of the car with their clothes disheveled. If this was exposed, the impact on Lu would be immeasurable.
Lu Jingchuan lowered his eyebrows and responded in a deep voice, "I understand."
"So you are serious about Secretary Shen?" Mrs. Lu changed the topic, her sharp eyes were exactly the same as Lu Jingchuan's, with an unnerving compulsion.
"No."
"If not, don't make so many exceptions for her, and do your part well." Mrs. Lu looked at him coldly, full of warning.
Lu Jingchuan avoided talking.
His avoidance aroused Madam Lu's alarm. Madam Lu narrowed her eyes and said in a more serious tone: "You don't want to marry her, do you?"
"Impossible." Lu Jingchuan denied, raising his eyes to respond to her gaze: "I'm just interested in it for now, just for fun, don't worry unnecessarily."
After receiving his promise, Mrs. Lu felt a little relieved, waved her hand, and urged impatiently: "Get to know this matter as soon as possible, and don't make it embarrassing for everyone."
Lu Jingchuan lowered his eyelids and made it clear in advance: "I can handle it properly, but I hope you won't make any arbitrary decisions in the future. I may not be so easy to talk to next time."
Although the two are mother and son, they are more controlled by mother and son.
Mrs. Lu snorted and stood up: "I know."
After this episode, Yuanshan finally ended with Gu's profit of 3 points and continued to advance.
Gu Yuan'an did not win a complete victory, but at least he did not regain some confidence as Shen Zhinian wished.
Shen Zhinian worked as usual, but acted more cautiously. He always kept a meter away from Lu Jingchuan in public, for fear of being misunderstood.
"Shen Zhinian, what are you doing?"
Lu Jingchuan turned around and found that there was a long distance between Shen Zhinian and him, and frowned dissatisfied. The employees next to him looked at each other and took a step back in tacit agreement, for fear of being implicated in the anger.
Shen Zhinian moved forward a small step, but still kept a certain space politely: "What are your orders, Mr. Lu?"
Seeing her like this, Lu Jingchuan turned around and spread his legs, stopped in front of her, lowered his eyes and asked, "Are there any germs on my body?"
Shen Zhinian pursed his lips to explain, but when he mistakenly saw the two people coming towards him behind him, he swallowed it back in an instant, bowed his head and greeted respectfully: "Mrs. Lu, Miss Gu."
Mrs. Lu held Gu Yuan'an's hand and walked over intimately. Although she had a smile on her face, she was not angry. She stopped directly in front of Lu Jingchuan and explained slowly: "Yuanshan cooperation is very important, and Yuan'an also needs it." If you exercise, she will be stationed on behalf of the Gu family."
She deliberately placed Gu Yuan here, and it can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone.
The surrounding employees immediately pretended to be busy with what they were doing and pretended not to hear.
Lu Jingchuan frowned in displeasure and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, does the Gu family even have a dedicated person? Why do we still need you to make arrangements?"
Hearing him question her in front of the Lu family, Mrs. Lu's face paused slightly, became more serious, and deliberately raised her voice: "You and Yuan'an will become a family immediately. If a family doesn't speak the same language, why are you so separated?"
The mother and son were fighting hand to hand, refusing to give in to each other.
Gu Yuanan held Mrs. Lu's hand, looked back and forth between Lu Jingchuan and Shen Zhinian, and deliberately asked: "Jingchuan, are you still angry with me? I explained to Secretary Shen that it was a misunderstanding. If you don't believe it, I will I don’t know what to do anymore.”
With Mrs. Lu's endorsement, he became bolder and told lies in front of Lu Jingchuan and Shen Zhinian.
Before Shen Zhinian could react, Mrs. Lu had already taken over: "Since it's just a misunderstanding, Secretary Shen shouldn't hold on to it. After all, the two families will continue to cooperate."
One sentence stopped Shen Zhinian's argument.
After just a few back and forth, Lu's employees knew everything in their minds.
After Mrs. Lu finished saying what she should say, she glanced at Shen Zhinian lightly and told Lu Jingchuan lightly: "Then I will leave Yuan'an to you and take good care of her."
No matter how Lu Jingchuan responded, he left directly.
Lu Jingchuan's face was clouded with dissatisfaction, and he glared at Gu Yuan'an coldly, warning indifferently: "Gu Yuan'an, I'm going to say something ugly in front of you, you'd better know what's appropriate."
Gu Yuan'an's smile froze, she pushed back her hair in embarrassment, and said softly and aggrievedly: "Jingchuan, what did I do wrong? If it's because of Secretary Shen, I can get along well with her."
He did not forget to drag Shen Zhinian into this muddy water, as if Shen Zhinian was a big obstacle to their relationship.
Lu Jingchuan turned and left with a sullen face.
Shen Zhinian followed silently, but suddenly heard Gu Yuan'an say loudly: "I'm not very familiar with it yet. Isn't it too much to ask Secretary Shen to take me around?"
