"What's wrong with your hand, young lady?"
When Mo Lan stood up to scoop soup, her sleeves inadvertently pulled up. Lu Mian noticed the dense red marks on her arms and asked.
After all, she was just a child. When he asked her, the little girl panicked and lied, "I accidentally fell during the day."
When Di Guanwei heard her say she fell, his thick brows furrowed, "How did you fall?"
Mo Lan bit her lip, "I wasn't paying attention to the road and tripped."
Lu Mian pursed his lips. Tripped? Why didn't he look like that?
"Be more careful next time." There was no emotion in Di Guanwei's voice.
Mo Lan nodded obediently, "I'm done eating, great-grandfather. I'm going upstairs to look at the project information."
"Well, go ahead." Di Guanwei responded.
After the little girl left, the delicious food on the table seemed to lose its flavor instantly. Di Guanwei had lost his appetite and turned to look at Lu Mian, "Please remove it."
Lu Mian complained in his heart, but seeing that he hadn't eaten much of the food, he still spoke with concern, "Master, you haven't eaten much, eat a little more, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"Are you implying that I'm going to die?" Di Guanwei said coldly.
Lu Mian was so frightened that his spine went cold. He hurriedly explained, "I don't have a master. I am..."
"Alright, you've been nagging me all my life. Can you please leave me alone for a bit? Besides, the consortium is in such a mess right now. I don't have the stomach for it."
Speaking of the consortium, Lu Mian sighed heavily. He knew that Di Tao had many followers inside. Even though he was dismissed from his post and was reflecting on his actions, his influence could not be underestimated.
I couldn't help but say, "Master, although the young lady is very capable, she is still a child after all. I'm afraid she is no match for the second young master in terms of conspiracy and trickery. How about you..."
Di Guanwei was silent, obviously waiting for him to speak.
Lu Mian couldn't figure out the expression on his face at this moment, but thinking that Mo Lan was involved in an adult conspiracy theory at such a young age, he still plucked up some courage and spoke.
"Why don't you find a way to bring the young master back? Although he has a wild and unruly personality, the young lady will be fine with him around."
"You want me to take him back to the Di family?" Di Guanwei looked at Lu Mian coldly as if he had just heard a huge joke. His voice became harsher. "I can't even defend myself against that kid. How can you expect me to take him back to the Di family?"
Lu Mian's breathing became heavier. "So you're just going to watch the young lady being harassed and schemed against by the Second Young Master's people? How is that any different from pushing her into a fire pit?"
Di Guanwei disagreed and snorted, "If she couldn't scare those people when I was alive, then she might not be able to handle important tasks in the future. But I have confidence in the people I have trained, so don't worry about it."
"That kid surnamed Yin..." Di Guanwei paused, thinking deeply for a few seconds. "It won't be difficult for me to accept him back into the Di family. As long as he apologizes to me first and then kneels in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, I can consider it."
Lu Mian couldn't bear to hear this. "Master, are you going to take this stubbornness with you to your grave?"
"How outrageous." Di Guanwei scolded.
Lu Mian shuddered, staggered back a few steps, his weathered face full of fear.
Seeing that he was very frightened, Di Guanwei narrowed his eyes sinisterly, snorted coldly and left. His back was filled with the cold and solemn aura of a superior.
Damn it, if someone else had said those words, he would have had their tongue pulled out, but it had to be Lu Mian.
It's late at night and everything is quiet.
In the dim room, Di Tao, who had rested for a few days, was finally able to sit up.
He looked at Qiu Tai, who was kneeling in front of his bed, with a gloomy look, his eyes fierce and sinister.
If there weren't so few useful people around him, he would definitely kill him.
Although the whip wounds on his body had gradually scabbed over, he still felt excruciating pain.
The pain was so severe that it felt as if all the bones were being ripped out of the body one by one, and all this was because of Qiu Tai's self-willed decision.
Fortunately, Qiu Tai had a good attitude in admitting his mistake. He knelt down for a few days and begged for forgiveness, which calmed his anger.
"Has there been any movement from my father recently?" Qiu Tai is very capable and has planted many spies in the Di family and the consortium.
