Chapter 147: Trust

Moreover, Lu Qinglan wasn’t willing to let the Lu family suffer because of a lawsuit against the Gu family.

She felt that it could be resolved so easily, so why did it have to be so complicated?

He Youran only reacted when she heard Lu Qinglan’s voice.

Oh, that’s right. She was already married to the Lu family. She was no longer the free and unfettered person she used to be. Everything she wanted to do had to consider the Lu family.

She suddenly felt a little frustrated.

When she told Zhao Wenting about wealth and power, she did not mean the Lu family. However, Lu Qinglan had clearly misunderstood. She could not explain it yet…

“Listen to Youran.”

Lu Qingzhuo interrupted his sister’s unfinished words.

He looked at Zhao Wenting and said,

“Tell Master Gu that this is our attitude. If you’re willing to settle this privately, then agree to our previous request. If you’re not willing, then we’ll see you in court!”

“Mr. Lu, aren’t you afraid of arousing a backlash by being so aggressive?” Zhao Wenting pushed up the gold-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of his nose, “I don’t want to offend the Lu family until the last moment, but if you insist on doing this, then don’t blame the Gu family for being impolite!”

“How are you going to be impolite?” Lu Qingzhuo asked.

“Master Gu said that you and your wife, He Youran, are actually engaged in a contract marriage. Your marriage is just a smokescreen for the little young master, Lu Shouxin, to stabilize the position of the Lu family’s direct descendant. If you’re still unwilling to take a step back, then we can only choose to make this matter public!” Zhao Wenting said.

Lu Qinglan frowned.

If they really made it public that Lu Shouxin was not the blood of the Lu family, then everything they had done before would be in vain!

The Lu family’s collateral family and the imperial capital’s He family would definitely sweep over like flies that smelled blood!

Lu Qinglan was extremely anxious. She even felt a little resentful when she saw that He Youran was not willing to give in at all.

He Youran had done the Lu family a favor, but the Lu family was willing to sign a contract with her and promised her that she would be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life. It could be considered that they had repaid the favor. Now that the Lu family was in trouble, not only did He Youran not help them, she even angered them!

“Brother…” Lu Qinglan anxiously called out to Lu Qingzhuo.

Lu Qingzhuo still had the same calm expression as before as he calmly said those words.

“Listen to Youran.”

This kind of absolute trust and doting not only shocked Lu Qinglan, but it also moved He Youran.

This man seemed to have trusted and protected her unconditionally from the very beginning.

She didn’t want to cause trouble for Lu Qingzhuo, but when she returned to China, her mother’s nanny told her that she had to take the pharmaceutical factory back. As long as she took it back, it didn’t matter if it slowly closed down. She just couldn’t let it fall into the hands of others.

The nanny said that this was also her mother’s last wish.

He Youran understood the importance of the pharmaceutical factory from the nanny’s words. So, how could she give in so easily and make her mother feel uneasy underground?

“Mrs. Lu…” Zhao Wenting looked at He Youran, wanting to say something, but he hesitated.

It was really difficult!

These two families didn’t lack money, power, nor fear their own weaknesses, so he couldn’t even threaten or entice them!

Zhao Wenting deeply felt that this was the most difficult case he had ever taken on!

“There’s no need to say more. Tell Gu Tianming that we’ll see him in court.”

Lu Qingzhuo didn’t want to see Zhao Wenting continue to persuade He Youran, so he directly called Pang Zhong over and ordered him to leave.

As for Lu Shouxin’s matter…

A fake was still a fake. Even if there was no such thing, they wouldn’t be able to hide it from those old foxes for long.

Since they couldn’t avoid it, they might as well try to reverse the situation.

Perhaps, they would be able to come back from the brink and welcome a new hope.
