Black Lotus is reborn, from campus to rich family
Chapter 27 Is His Promise Cheap?
Lu Zhai.
As one of the most wealthy families in Beijing, the Lu family owns an entire garden in the most prosperous area. Behind the heavy and intricate iron gate, water flows around the house, and the wind blows through the bamboo pavilion, exuding an ancient and elegant charm.
In the night, lights and shadows intertwine in the garden, and insects chirp.
When Lu Zhan returned to the Lu family, the atmosphere in the house was stagnant.
The huge crystal chandelier illuminated the living room. Mr. Lu sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, twirling a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. The beads were a glossy brown color, and each one was worth a fortune.
Lu Zhong knelt on his left side, his eyes flickering, his face embarrassed, and cold sweat on his palms.
Shen Mengxu sat silently on the sofa on the left.
After a quick glance, Lu Zhan walked over and greeted in a deep voice, "Hello, Grandpa."
Old Master Lu didn't care about his attitude towards Lu Zhong. He nodded lightly and glanced at the trembling Lu Zhong with an unhappy look on his face.
He placed the crutch beside him heavily on the coffee table, and said in a voice with heavy pressure: "Speak, what's going on."
A jade ring with excellent water color on the table is particularly eye-catching. Lu Zhan sat down on the sofa on the right, with his hands on the armrests, looking calm and relaxed.
Lu Zhong lowered his head, his face covered in sweat. After such a comparison, he, the head of the Lu family, really had no face at all.
But now the situation is urgent, so he has to be honest:
"Ten years ago, a little girl came to me and said she found this jade in Yan City. Her parents saw it on TV and learned it belonged to the Lu family, so they came to ask for money."
"It just so happened that Lu Zhan came back from Yan City and said that the jade was lost. I thought ten million was not a lot, and I could still get the jade back, so I agreed."
"Yes, Dad, it's worth using this money to exchange for the Lu family's ancestral jade. A Chong's starting point is also for the good of the Lu family. If this jade is used by someone with ulterior motives to make trouble..." Shen Mengxu echoed.
Now she is the only mistress of the Lu family, so she will not embarrass her husband.
"Shut up!"
Old Master Lu interrupted her, and his tone, which had been so severe and violent due to the anger of a superior for a long time, made Shen Mengxu wilted instantly.
"You're all idiots! Women's opinions!" Old Master Lu closed his eyes, his lips trembling with anger. "What do you think that piece of jade represents? Why would we use a dead object to decide who will inherit our Lu family's future?"
He was heartbroken and said, "Do you think that if you steal this jade, the Lu family will belong to you? You are dreaming!"
When the old man gets angry, he won't even give face to his daughter-in-law. Shen Mengxu's face is not looking good. Being scolded like this in front of the younger generation, his face is completely down.
It sounds nice to say that this piece of jade is not important, but it is not important in Lu Zhong's hands. But when it is in Lu Zhan's hands, it is very precious.
Ultimately, it's just bias.
She glared hatefully at Lu Zhong, who was kneeling in a disgraceful manner.
An embarrassing thing.
Lu Zhong's tone became urgent, and he knelt and crawled towards Mr. Lu:
"Dad, I didn't know that little girl was so capable. Who could have known that a little girl of only a few years old could do such a big thing?"
"A five-year-old girl asked you for 10 million, and you gave it to her without even asking? Do you think my Lu family is a charity? This news was only found out after A Zhan came back. How long are you going to keep it secret?"
Old Master Lu was almost pissed off at his son. The Lu family had been busy with overseas expansion for the past decade, so they handed over the affairs in Beijing to Lu Chong. They thought that with some veterans in charge, he wouldn't be able to make any waves.
did not expect!
The Lu family's industries in Beijing have been shrinking in recent years. From liquor to hotels to real estate, every indicator has been declining.
At first he thought it was just an industry crisis, until Lu Zhan came back and checked and found out that it was actually a wolf that he had fed himself at home!
Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.
Not only the Lu family, but also the Bai family and the Gu family had a lot of assets swallowed up by this unknown force.
It should have been a major event worthy of attention, but the manipulator behind it was very cautious, like a silkworm eating a mulberry leaf, gnawing along the periphery bit by bit.
If Lu Zhan hadn't come back to investigate for a few months, the situation in Beijing would have been overturned without anyone noticing.
Old Master Lu's chest was heaving violently, and his gray beard was shaking. Lu Zhan stood up and poured him a cup of tea.
He took a sip and looked at his grandson in front of him, and then he felt his heart relieved.
Leaning back on the sofa, he stopped looking at the prodigal son and asked, "Ah Zhan, what have you found out about the influence of that girl so far?"
Lu Zhan poured another cup of tea and took a sip. After watching the show, he was too lazy to even laugh sarcastically. His voice was calm.
"Currently, we only know that Twilight and Jingzhoukou Hotel are her main sources of income. Other forces are hidden deep, so we have to dig slowly."
He spoke cautiously, but this little bit of information was enough for Lu Zhong to digest for a while.
Dusk is the largest nightclub in Beijing, so it is not surprising that people spend a lot of money there. Jingzhoukou Hotel is also one of the best consumption places in Beijing. This underage girl actually has such a great influence!
Lu Zhan lowered his eyes and drank the tea in the cup.
Not only that, this little girl is very secretive and never shows her true colors. The people she digs are all top-notch talents.
Meng Shu, the boss of Twilight, is a young man who is not even 30 years old. He has made an indelible contribution to Twilight's development to its current position seven years ago.
But his life story was truly horrific: his mother died young, his father was an alcoholic, his sister had a congenital heart disease, and he himself was expelled from university for cheating before even finishing. He certainly didn't look like someone who could accomplish anything.
How did Yu Suiwan discover such a rough jade?
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes and thought of the girl he met in the Cantonese restaurant today.
She looks too young, but everything she does is decisive, cautious, and careful.
Amazing.
Even if Lu Zhan didn't explain it clearly, Old Man Lu understood the seriousness of it. He now just wanted to throw this good-for-nothing son out.
After a while, he said helplessly: "Lu Zhong, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the capital. Ah Zhan, you should investigate this girl carefully. You have worked hard during this period. Don't leak the news for now. This girl has been dormant for so many years. She must have a purpose. After you find out, consider forming an alliance first."
He waved his hand, got up and went upstairs.
"Dad, let me help you up."
Shen Mengxu didn't want to face Lu Zhan. She always felt that Lu Zhan was as cruel as a snake and was really difficult to deal with.
The only people left in the bright and dazzling living room were Lu Zhan and the pale-faced Lu Chong.
Lu Zhong stood up tremblingly and moved to the sofa. Even though the room temperature was a constant 26 degrees, his slightly plump body was already drenched in sweat.
Lu Zhan didn't rush to leave. He leaned forward, bent forward, picked up the jade ring, and gently fiddled with it with his slender fingers, his eyes full of mockery:
"Lu Zhong, you said you kept this jade for seven years. It seems that the Lu family still can't accommodate you."
Lu Zhong knew he was in the wrong, so he said shamelessly, "I just kept it for you, Zhan, for a few years. When Zhan comes back, I'll naturally return it."
Lu Zhan suddenly laughed, and his eyes like ice blades cut towards Lu Zhong. Lu Zhong felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Lu Zhan held the gold string on the jade ring, stood up, and raised one corner of his lips. Lu Zhong's gaze slid up and down along the trajectory of the jade ring.
Suddenly, he turned his wrist and the jade ring flew in a parabola.
Under the bright lights, a streak of white light flashed across.
With a "ding" sound, the jade ring was thrown to Lu Zhong's feet and broke into several pieces.
Lu Zhong lowered his head in shock, his lips trembling, a look of disbelief on his face.
The Lu family's token of power, which had been passed down for generations, was thrown away by him just like that!
madman!
What a lunatic!
In shock, he heard Lu Zhan's cold and fierce voice:
"Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
"It would be best if you could take me to your coffin and keep me company forever."
Lu Zhan stood up and walked out the door without looking around.
A slender black figure with long legs walked towards the Lu family's courtyard.
Assistant Cheng was waiting for him at the door. He opened the car door for him and sat in the passenger seat.
"Go to Tan Garden."
"Yes."
Lu Zhan sat in the back seat, the girl he met today flashed through his mind, and he silently repeated the name, Yu Suiwan.
An extremely rare feeling of anger arises inexplicably.
Is his gift so cheap?
It was a quiet night, so quiet that it was a little eerie. Lu Zhan suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
Suddenly, when passing the intersection, a black car accelerated from the side and hit the back seat directly.
With a loud "bang", the Lu family's car flipped several times and fell into the green belt.
The bodyguard following behind was also caught off guard and quickly stopped the car to save the man.
