611 The Arrival of the Granddaughter-in-law
The maid jogged into the house and found the Lu family’s butler. She reported, “Butler Lu, there’s Miss Qiao An outside. She’s looking for a Mr. Lu Ze. Who is Lu Ze?”
The butler frowned. “Lu Ze?”
He slowly pondered in his mind and suddenly thought of something. His eyes widened.
Then he ran like the wind. He came excitedly to Old Master Lu’s study. For the first time, he forgot to knock and pushed open the study door.
When the old man saw the butler, his handsome face was filled with confusion.
“Butler Lu, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Butler Lu raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said excitedly, “Master, there’s Miss Qiao An outside. She’s looking for…”
When Old Master Lu heard this, he understood and said, “Chase her away. I won’t see her.”
The butler said anxiously, “Master, Miss Qiao An isn’t here for you.”
“Hmph. She’s looking for Second Young Master? Second Young Master won’t see her either,” Old Master Lu said confidently.
The butler shook his head anxiously. “Master, the person Miss Qiao An wants to see isn’t Second Young Master!”
Old Master Lu looked puzzled. “Then who is she looking for? If she’s looking for the servants in the villa, there’s no need to alarm me.”
The butler was as anxious as an ant. “Master, Miss Qiao An is looking for… Young Master Lu Ze.”
The teacup in Old Master Lu’s hand suddenly fell to the ground. His face, which had been weathered, immediately lost its color.
“Lu Ze?”
Lu Ze was his eldest son. When he was in university, he went to a military academy. However, in his third year, he went on a secret mission and sacrificed himself.
Old Master Lu was sad for a long time. One had to know that Lu Ze was his favorite son, and compared to Lu Yu, Lu Ze was much more outstanding.
At first, Elder Lu was told that Lu Ze had sacrificed himself, but he didn’t see Lu Ze’s corpse and never believed that Lu Ze was dead.
But year after year passed. Old Master Lu also changed from a heroic middle-aged man to an old man in his twilight years. He missed Lu Ze even more, but he gradually believed the fact that Lu Ze had already sacrificed himself.
Lu Ze’s disappearance was his greatest regret in life. Even after the Lu family became the owner of a multinational corporation, the great success of his career could not alleviate the pain of his son’s disappearance.
Later on, Lu Ze was sealed in his heart. His family was afraid of drawing out his sadness, so they tacitly didn’t mention Lu Ze again.
As a result, juniors like Lu Xiaoyun did not know this uncle’s name at all.
But today, Qiao An dug Lu Ze out again.
It was as if she had knocked over his photo album and dug out memories of the past.
Realizing that Qiao An might know some information about Lu Ze, Old Master Lu said excitedly, “Quick, invite Qiao An in.”
The butler was also very happy. With a solemn expression, he walked out quickly.
At the entrance, Lu Xiaoyun mocked Qiao An even more. “Qiao An, who’s that Lu Ze? Hehe, I didn’t expect him to be a worker in our villa. Seeing that he’s your friend, don’t worry, I’ll treat him well.”
She made it sound nice, but her tone was incredibly arrogant. It was obvious she was being sarcastic. It was a threat to Qiao An.
She thought Qiao An would be afraid that she would cause trouble for Lu Ze and apologize to her.
Unexpectedly, Qiao An still looked at her with disdain. “Lu Xiaoyun, with your low IQ, it’s no wonder that you don’t have the Lu family’s genes.”
Lu Xiaoyun was so angry that her face turned green. “Qiao An, you… How dare you say that I’m not the Lu family’s biological child?”
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyun’s parents happened to get out of the car and suddenly heard Qiao An ridiculing Lu Xiaoyun. The couple was furious, especially Mrs. Lu. She walked over aggressively and said to Qiao An sarcastically, “Where did this dog come from? Why is it barking at my door?”
Qiao An was dumbfounded. Then, her gaze landed on Lu Yu and she sighed. “Your taste is really the worst among the men in the Lu family.”
Lu Yu’s expression changed. Qiao An’s words were true.
When he was young, he went for beauty and pursued his wife. At that time, his parents strongly objected to Madam marrying into the family. His mother said that she had seen countless people and that this girl was not suitable to enter the Lu family. However, he was tempted by her beauty and finally insisted on registering his marriage with her.
His parents were furious, but because they loved him, they finally accepted his wife.
However, later on, his career went downhill. He, who had a family fortune, was dragged down by his wife. If he had a few business partners of the opposite sex, she would make a fuss. In the end, those businesswomen avoided him.
In the past few years, his wife had stopped. However, his career had reached a bottleneck, and he had no ambition to expand his territory.
For this, the old man was very disappointed in him.
The more disappointed the old man was in him, the more he reminisced about his genius brother.
It was clear he had it coming since he had been showing off his love in front of others.
Unexpectedly, Qiao An hit the nail on the head.
Such an intelligent Qiao An impressed Lu Yu.
“Qiao An, what are you doing in the Lu family?” Lu Yu’s gaze swept across the rich gifts beside her, and a sneer appeared on her face. “If you’re here to ask for cooperation, bring these gifts back. Our Lu family doesn’t do business with the Huo family.”
Qiao An said coldly, “CEO Lu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not here to seek cooperation.”
Lu Yu looked like she had seen through him. “Qiao An, these gifts are expensive. If you’re not seeking cooperation, why are you here?”
Qiao An smiled meaningfully.
“These gifts are indeed expensive. However, I might not be able to give them away today. At that time, I might be the one receiving them.”
Lu Yu was stunned. Only then did he realize that these gifts were not suitable for him and the old man at all.
So Qiao An’s gifts were clearly for herself?
Lu Yu laughed loudly. “Qiao An, you’re shrewd enough. However, our Lu family doesn’t like to work with scheming female entrepreneurs. Leave.”
Qiao An looked at the butler running over and muttered, “I’m afraid CEO Lu can’t make the call on this.”
Seeing Qiao An’s confident expression, Lu Yu was puzzled.
Why was she so confident?
At this moment, the butler ran over and said hurriedly to Qiao An, “Miss Qiao An, my master wants to see you. Please come with me.”
Qiao An glanced at Lu Yu proudly. Lu Yu was shocked. “Butler, why did Master take the initiative to see her?”
The butler said respectfully, “Second Master, Old Master wants to see Miss Qiao An for something important.”
Lu Yu was shocked.
