Lu Shiyun sighed softly. "I wish I could. I've handed over the company, but I'm always worried about the children. Forget it. You can leave first. I need to get some rest."
"Then I'll take my leave first. If there's anything, please look for me immediately."
…
When the doctor came out, he happened to bump into Xin Yu. Xin Yu looked a little embarrassed, but she still nodded slightly at the doctor. Naturally, the doctor recognized her. He greeted her as "Lady Lu" and quickly left the ward.
Lu Shiyun heard the noise outside and sat up again. "Xin Yu, is that you?"
"Dad …"
Xin Yu closed the door and walked in. Only then did she see the old man sitting up on the bed. He looked a little haggard, and she felt even more guilty. When she thought about what he said to the doctor, she felt a deep sense of guilt. The words she had prepared to say to him earlier were like a balloon that had been pricked by a needle at this moment. She could no longer breathe.
"When did you arrive? Have a seat. "
Lu Shiyun pointed to the sofa opposite the bed. He covered his mouth and coughed softly a few times. "These old bones of mine are getting more and more out of control lately. Have a seat."
The kinder Lu Shiyun was to her, the more guilty Xin Yu felt.
She stood by the bed without moving. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, there was a sudden rush of knocking at the door. It was the housekeeper who had hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.
"Old Master, bad news. Something big has happened …"
Xin Yu froze for a moment. Although she had been married into the Lu family for more than five years, she had not lived in the Lu family for long. Even so, she still understood the people in the Lu family.
Lu Shiyun was a man as calm as Mount Tai. In fact, in some aspects, Qin Fangang still had Lu Shiyun's shadow.
Lu Yihan was the rebellious type. In the past, in Xin Yu's heart, he was a typical playboy, a hedonistic young master who was spoiled by his parents. He was a little similar to Li Muhua's insolent personality. As for Li Muhua and Lu Yiting, they were probably the same type of people. However, this housekeeper was usually a very calm person. At least in Xin Yu's impression, he rarely panicked and disregarded his image.
…
Something big happened?
Xin Yu subconsciously frowned and moved her body to the side, but her heart was in a mess. Could it be that this big incident had something to do with her again?
However, Qin Fangang had clearly told her that everything had been settled. Now, something big had happened. What could it be?
Xin Yu was a little flustered. When she heard that something big had happened, the only thing she could think of was that it had something to do with her.
However, the fact that she had been exposed was already on the headlines. How could it cause such a commotion? Unless … the male lead of the video had been exposed.
…
This thought flashed across Xin Yu's mind. She only felt a chill run down her spine. All her emotions seemed to have been frozen in an instant. She stood there stiffly.
She was really guilty and frightened. Hence, at this moment, she did not even dare to look at Lu Shiyun.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? Can't you see that I'm talking to Xin Yu? "
Lu Shiyun still looked calm. He coughed a few times and looked like he was blaming the housekeeper. "Alright, it's an important matter. Let's talk about it later. I'm now …"
"Old Master, something has really happened …"
The housekeeper's face was full of anxiety. He even did not hesitate to interrupt Lu Shiyun. Lu Shiyun naturally knew that the housekeeper had been by his side for many years. His eyes darkened slightly. Looking at the housekeeper's expression, he knew that this matter had something to do with him.
"Young Madam, I want to talk to Old Master about something. Do you think …"
"It's okay, Father. I'll come and see you tomorrow."
Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, Xin Yu spoke up. She was also flustered and did not know what had happened. However, since the housekeeper had said so, she naturally could not continue to stay here.
"Father, I'll go back first then." She thought for a moment and added, "… I want to stay at my friend's place for the next few days, so I …"
"It's your and Yihan's fifth wedding anniversary in a few days. I've been arranging for this banquet. You should go home for the next few days."
Lu Shiyun said in a low voice, "… Xin Yu, I originally wanted to have a good chat with you. However, since something has happened, I'll make it short. I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you that as for the previous matter, I'll still say the same thing. Whatever Yihan says, it's what it is. This is a matter between you and your wife. Of course, in my eyes, you're still my daughter-in-law. Yihan was outrageous before. He flirted with other women outside. I know you won't be happy in your heart. And about the video, I didn't investigate it carefully. Although you admitted it as soon as you came in, I still have a scale in my heart. I'll go back and weigh it myself. Do you understand what I mean? "
"…"
She could understand what he meant, but she could not bear such tolerance.
Lu Shiyun was even looking for an excuse for her. It seemed that as long as she said that the video was false, he would be willing to believe that it was all fake …
"Father, I …"
"That's enough, Xin Yu. Let's not talk about other things for now. No matter what, you're now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Even if something big happened, as long as you and Yihan are not divorced, you're still the Young Madam of the Lu family. What's wrong with you staying outside all day long? Move back in at night. You can go back first. "
Lu Shiyun waved his hand and coughed a few times. His expression wasn't too good, but his tone was filled with an irresistible majesty.
Xin Yu swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
What should she do?
She could not bear to do it, especially in front of Lu Shiyun. Moreover, she had some respect for this elder. She could hear that he was already unhappy with what he said just now. She could not bring herself to refute.
Of course, the most important thing now was that she did not know what the "big matter" the butler was talking about. She thought that she had to contact Qin Fangang immediately if it was really related to her.
She didn't say anything else. She nodded and left the ward.
After the door of the ward closed, Lu Shiyun gave the butler a look. The butler understood and walked softly to the entrance. After a while, he took out his phone and pressed a button. Then the image of the ward door appeared on the screen.
The slender figure had already walked to the end of the long corridor. After a while, she entered the elevator. The butler waited until the doors of the elevator closed before he put away his phone and walked to the bedside. "Old Master, Young Madam has left."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Lu Shiyun lifted the white blanket and got off the bed. His movements were very nimble. He walked over and sat on the sofa at the side. He frowned and looked at the housekeeper in front of him. "Hasn't the matter of the video been settled? Is there more to it? "
The butler gulped and said with difficulty, "No, Old Master, this time it's Madam … Madam is in trouble."
Lu Shiyun's gaze sharpened. "What did Li Muhua do? Tell me clearly! "
…
"Boss Qin, President Lu's project has been delayed for too long. This doesn't benefit the Lu Clan at all. Moreover, if it continues to be delayed, we will suffer a huge loss of funds. I still think that we should give up."
In the conference room, Qin Fangang sat at the head of the table. There were two rows of people seated below him. They were all senior members of the Lu Clan. Those on the left were almost all people who supported him. On the right, Lu Yihan sat at the head of the table. The people below him naturally supported him.
Recently, Qin Fangang had been busy coming and going. The projects at hand were almost done. One of the two projects that he had specially assigned to Xin Yu and Lu Yihan had been completed very well. However, there was still no progress on Lu Yihan's project. Naturally, in this kind of meeting, whoever found the right conflict would directly attack Lu Yihan.
Since there were people who opposed Lu Yihan, there were naturally people who supported him as well.
Immediately, someone stood up and said indignantly, "Boss Qin, I don't think so. General Manager Lu's project hasn't been clinched yet. I don't think General Manager Lu should be blamed for this. No matter what, the problem with the plot of land in B City wasn't caused by General Manager Lu. Now, we've been contacting new partners. Why should we deprive General Manager Lu of this opportunity? If this project is clinched, it will also bring in a lot of profits for the Lu Clan. "
"… You're wrong. Are you saying that as long as this project isn't clinched, it will be delayed indefinitely? What about the Lu Clan's losses? Even if General Manager Lu is the young master of the Lu Clan, he shouldn't squander his money like this, right? As a shareholder of the Lu Clan, I object! "
"If you call for a halt now, have you thought about the future? What if this project is clinched in the future? Maybe it will be tomorrow, or the day after … No one can guarantee that. But have you calculated the profits of this project? It will be at least 800 million. I believe that no matter how much we lose, we will be able to earn it back. "
"Then tell me, how long will this deadline be?"
"…"
Both sides went back and forth, giving tit for tat. It seemed like neither side was willing to back down. Qin Fangang, who was seated directly in front, had a calm expression on his face. Under the light of the chandelier above his head, his exquisite features revealed a hint of coldness. He gently pressed down on a folder beside him with one hand and massaged his temples with the other. His deep gaze fell on his fingertips. He seemed to be deep in thought, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
Lu Yihan, who was seated in the first seat on the right, didn't say a word from beginning to end.
In the past, compared to Qin Fangang's calm and reserved temperament, Lu Yihan's aura had always been impetuous and insolent. But this time, to everyone's surprise, he sat calmly in his seat and played with the expensive fountain pen between his fingers. His handsome face was similarly expressionless.
