Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Seek Gu Annan? (1) Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Seek Gu Annan? (1) Taozi was sitting with one leg over the other, biting an apple, “I’m interrogating them for you.”
“Sis, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to find this place intentionally. But I’ve been unable to reach you by phone, and it’s not convenient for me to go to your workplace… I heard you were coming back to school today, so I could only try my luck here, to see if I might bump into you.”
It was normal that the calls didn’t get through; she had blocked Lu Kexin.
“What is there to talk about between us? You’re not welcome here.”
Since they had fallen out long ago, she didn’t want to show Lu Kexin any kindness, even in front of others.
“I really don’t understand why you’re so against me. I’ve tried my best not to disturb you, even though we’re at the same university, I’ve never sought you out,” Lu Kexin said, showing a bit of grievance.
H University is ranked first among comprehensive universities in Manchester, and Lu Kexin also studies there, a year junior to Lu Wanwan.
But H University has several campuses, and the departments of performing arts where Lu Kexin is and journalism where Lu Wanwan is rarely intersect.
Qiaoqiao suddenly rolled her eyes and made a vomiting expression.
“Miss, you’re polluting the air of our dormitory, green tea bitches aren’t welcome here.”
Lu Kexin’s face darkened, and she didn’t bother to argue with those two roommates anymore.
She turned to Lu Wanwan, “I have something urgent to discuss with you, something neither of us wants to happen, concerning Dad’s company.”
Lu Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then shared the snacks she had brought with Taozi and Qiaoqiao.
“You, come outside,” she said coldly to Lu Kexin. “After you’ve spoken, please leave.”
The two walked out of the dormitory and directly up to the rooftop.
“Let me get straight to the point, Jin’an might not belong to our family much longer,” Lu Kexin said without any nonsense or mockery of Lu Wanwan, “You probably don’t know, but there have been internal problems in the company for some time now, which is why Dad was so eager to engage with the Gu Family, hoping to stabilize the board through their influence.”
“I knew Dad had his own purposes,” Lu Wanwan had long been aware that her father must have had designs on the Gu Family, but she didn’t know about the serious problems at the company.
It wasn’t surprising that Lu Kexin knew more; she hadn’t been home in a long time, and Dad never talked to her about company matters.
It was as if Jin’an Media had nothing to do with her.
Lu Kexin sneered, “If the person engaged to Gu Annan were me, this issue would have been brought up long ago. But you know the outcome now; your engagement to Gu Annan hasn’t helped Dad’s company at all. Do you know, Dad has tried to reach Gu Annan several times without success, he clearly has no intention of caring about our family’s plight! I see that he’s not too good to you either; otherwise, why would he treat the Lu Family ?”
“What exactly are you trying to say?”
Lu Wanwan had a vague guess; perhaps it was a ploy to get her to speak up, as per their father’s intention?
“Dad can’t hold the company together, Jin’an is about to be acquired, and it could happen at any moment now. If you don’t care about Jin’an’s fate, you can continue to stay out of it, as if you have no relation to this family.”
“Oh, now I remember, actually, this isn’t really Dad’s hard work, it’s… Aunt Ye’s company, right? I wonder, if Aunt Ye knows from the underworld, seeing this kind of outcome, what would she think?”
Lu Kexin was right, Jin’an Media was Mom’s life’s work.
If it fell into someone else’s hands…
“Did Dad send you, asking me… to beg Gu Annan?”
