Chapter 245: Huo Shaoting: I Just Want One Word from Mr. Lu!
family background is also decent. You really don’t go for him”Wen Man twirled the glass, shaking her head slightly.She looked out the window at the bustling street below, neon lights illuminating the...City, clear
At the entrance of the Lu family's grand estate, a gleaming black motorhome drove in.
The car came to a slow stop.
A tall figure got out of the car. The servant saw him and respectfully greeted, "Good evening, Master!"
Ho Shaoting frowned: "Where is your Mr. Lu"
The servant, seeing his grim expression, didn't know how to respond.
Lu Qian just came out and saw Huo Shaoting. He asked casually, "Why are you here so early"
Ho Shao-ting ground his teeth.
He sneered, "Of course I'm here to see my uncle!"
"Unfortunately, I have a meeting to start in a few minutes. My driver is already waiting!"
Ho Shao-ting stepped forward, blocking him with a forced smile. "It won't take my uncle much time," he said, his tone laced with sarcasm. "We can go after the meeting is over."
Lu Qian frowned.
Ho Shaoting bowed his head and lit a cigarette, taking a few slow puffs before extinguishing it. He said in a low voice, "I want to talk to Mr. Lu about Mingzhu!"
Mr. Lu
Lu Qian gave a wink, his secretary withdrew, and even sent the servants away.
After the crowd had dispersed, Lu Qian also lit a cigarette.
He stood at the windward, his breath sending puffs of smoke rising and dispersing. His handsome face was sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.
After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "How is she doing"
Ho Shao-ting sneered, “Well A girl dragging on to 31 years old, not returning home, not getting married, renting a dilapidated 40-square-meter apartment outside... Mr. Lu, how do you think she's doing”
Lu Qian's slender fingers, holding a cigarette, trembled slightly.
He is in a high position and has always been stoic.
But more than two years later, when he heard news of that person, he still couldn't keep his heart calm.
He guessed that Huo Shaoting knew something!
Lu Qian's voice grew even more hoarse: "She... why didn't she go home"
Ho Shao-ting glared at him, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to tear him to shreds.
Yes, he came to find Lu Qian to settle the score!
But he didn't intend to reveal the existence of Suo Suo. Huo Mingzhu, as the only daughter of the Huo family, was his younger sister, Huo Shaoting. There was no reason to use a child to hold onto a man...
He stared at Lu Qian, asking very slowly, "How long have you slept with her"
Lu Qian's eyebrows jumped.
After being kept secret for three years, the truth has finally come to light.
He took a long drag of his cigarette, and after a while he said: "More than half a year! It started when Wen Man was in the hospital... Then we kept in touch on and off for another six months."
Ho Shao-ting pondered for a moment.
Later that half year, Wen Man went abroad, and Lu Qian seemed to always be on business trips.
I see.
Ho Shaoting let out a cold snort: "Mr. Lu, before doing such things, did you ever think about your own age and how old Mingzhu is… our two families are still related by marriage! Yes, of course, you don't have to care about these things, because sleeping with her isn't illegal, but... touch your conscience and ask yourself, out of all the times you slept with her, was there even once that it was because you wanted to marry her Was there ever a time that wasn't just to satisfy your own animalistic desires"
Lu Qian's eyes were deep.
He couldn't refute it!
Ho Shaoting put out his cigarette, took off his coat and tossed it aside, then began to roll up his shirt sleeves.
He sneered, "Can't say it, can you"
Lu Qian frowned: "You want to fight me"
"Ho Shaoting sneered, "Mr. Lu has an opinion Let me tell you... I am Ho Mingzhu's brother now. She is innocent and timid but I'm not easily fooled. Now I ask you, what do you plan to do"
Lu Qian has always been decisive in his actions.
He and she were never meant to be together in the first place. Now, over two years since their separation, there's even less reason to pull her into his complicated circle of life.
He quietly extinguished his cigarette and said, "It's impossible between her and me!"
Ho Shaoting punched straight ahead, with no mercy at all.
Lu Qian yielded to the punch, flesh against flesh. A patch of purple quickly appeared on his cheek.
Ho Shaoting's knuckles were slightly swollen, but he threw another punch.
At this moment, Liu, the secretary who had been hiding nearby, quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop him, persuading: "Mr. Huo, calm down! You and Mr. Lu are family, there's no need to get upset so early in the morning!"
Ho Shaoting pushed him aside and then started fighting with Lu Qian again.
"You bastard! My sister is 16 years younger than you!"
"How could you do that"
……
"Where are you going again"
"Do you want me to repeat what you did to Wen Man"
"Clean your own stink before you talk to me!"
……
You punch me, I kick you! No mercy for anyone!
The servants in the house, watching from afar, knew that the son-in-law was fighting with Mr. Lu, but they didn't know why!
Liu, the secretary, was quick-witted. He dashed into the inner courtyard to call for reinforcements and brought in Old Madam Lu.
Old Mrs. Lu hurried over.
As soon as he arrived, he saw his son and daughter-in-law fighting fiercely. Both sides were going all out, with bruises and cuts all over their faces and bodies.
"Stop it!" Old Mrs. Lu shouted angrily.
Lu Qian stopped his movement, he took a step back and looked at Huo Shaoting: "We can talk another day. I need to go to a meeting now!"
Ho Shao-ting wiped the blood from his mouth and said with mockery: "Mr. Lu, in this state, how are you going to attend the meeting Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others, affecting Mr. Lu's perfect image"
Lu Qian: ...
Land Old Madam stood among them, scolding her son: “How old are you And how old is Shao Ting You are usually a very composed person, why would you start fighting with the younger generation And in front of the servants! How will you discipline people in the future”
She is clearly showing favoritism.
Lu Qian sent a silent curse to Huo Shaoting's ancestors in his heart, but towards his own mother, he was gentle and vague: "For Wen Man! Mom, just let it go!"
Old Mrs. Lu disagreed: "Aren't the two of them doing well now"
Lu Qian touched his nose.
Ho Shaoting helped the old woman sit down. He was very pleased with her, so he directly exposed that old thing: "He... dated my sister for half a year!"
... Lu Qian: ...
She raised her cane and pointed it at her son, scolding him: "Tell me, did you do this Did you or not I told you that you were always putting on airs in front of Shaoting, but today you are so quiet. So you did something shameless... Today I'll beat you to death to apologize to his parents!"
She punches hard.
Lu Qian was truly hit several times, burning with pain.
He has always been filial and didn't dare to make the old woman angry again. He knelt down directly: "It's my fault! I couldn't control myself! But... we are not compatible."
Old Mrs. Lu was clearly taken aback.
She hadn't expected her son to confess so readily.
She fell silent for a long time before whispering, "Once you didn't hold back. You dated her for half a year, so what can you say Lu Qian, you know your own abilities and charm. It's easy for young girls to fall for you. You said no, but you just left them... What should they do afterwards"
She was terribly disappointed and got up to leave.
Ho Shaoting hurriedly helped her up.
The old woman looked at him and said softly, "Tomorrow, I'll go to the city myself to apologize to your parents and that girl! It was Lu Qian who did wrong. I will definitely give your family an explanation."
Ho Shaoting came with a heart full of anger.
But at that moment, he couldn't help but soften his heart and said proactively, "I have impulsive places too."
Grandma Lu shook her head. "What's wrong with standing up for your sister"
"I'm not trying to force anything," Huo Shaoting said softly. "I just want my uncle to make it clear what his intentions are towards Mingzhu. If he doesn't have any feelings for her, then... I will arrange for Mingzhu to go on blind dates."
Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat.
Dating……
These two words, in his calm and placid heart, were like dropping a stone.
Trembling with excitement!
Ho Shaoting calmed down. He stood before Lu Qian, stating in a matter-of-fact tone: "She didn't say anything, but I could feel she liked you very much and was deeply hurt! If you saw her now, you might not even recognize her... Uncle, Mingzhu was raised with care in the Ho family. She had never washed a single dish or done any housework, but she...but she..."
Ho Shao-ting's voice trembled with emotion.
He took a deep breath to calm himself before whispering, "If you don't want her, just leave her alone!"
Lu Qian's heart was surging like water.
He once... deeply loved that innocent girl.
They broke up, and he felt it was for the best.
Now that the past is being unearthed, he doesn't wish to see her, but if they met, what then Two years ago, they had already walked into a dead end.
Lu Qian whispered, "It's my fault! Tell her that she can have whatever compensation she wants."
Ho Shao-ting's eyes were profound.
He smiled faintly: "Our Huo family doesn't need any compensation. All I want is a word from Mr. Lu! Since Mr. Lu says it's not suitable, then I'm relieved! I'll go back and tell my silly younger sister to give up on him, and then go on blind dates obediently...Perhaps she won't meet someone like Mr. Lu again, but finding someone who truly cares for her isn't difficult!"
Lu Shaoting finished speaking, turned around and walked away...
Lu Qian stood there, his expression somewhat dazed.
Liu, the secretary, hesitated for a moment and then softly said: "Mr. Lu, please organize things! We'll have a meeting in a while!"
Lu Qian remained stunned.
After who knows how long, he suddenly flew into a rage: "What kind of meeting is this! I don't even have the freedom to like a woman, what kind of meeting are we having" off his light blue shirt and laid it on the bedsheet.Then, she was lifted in his arms and gently placed upon the pale blue."I haven't slept in a long time, I'm afraid there are bugs in bed," he expla...
