Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The line between the different worlds was already very vague to Luo Ying.
She knew that she was already starting to treat this body like her very own. Here, she and Lu Zhao had fallen into a relationship that she had never even thought of.
Luo Ying looked crestfallen.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go back?” Jin Shi had grown up with her and could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
Jin Shi’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Go back to the real world. I can introduce you to anyone you want. I’ve already investigated Lu Zhao. The man is very dangerous. I’m worried about you staying here with him.”
Jin Shi had been investigating Lu Zhao in all aspects. How could a man who had fought his way out of the Lu Family since he was young be a kind person? He was afraid that his sister would be deceived and used by that person.
Moreover, even if this man truly cherished her, she would still be targeted by the family behind him.
Jin Shi hoped that Luo Ying would live a comfortable and rich life. “I understand, Third Brother.” Luo Ying lowered her head. Her brain, which had been filled with excitement for the past two days, calmed down in an instant.
She was prepared to give everything up for Lu Zhao and help Lu Zhao realize his wishes. Even so, she could not quite bite down on that innate fear.
Jin Shi sighed. “I ruined the mood. I actually don’t even know if we can go back. I just hope that you remember where we’re at. Just treat it like a game that you can conquer.”
Luo Ying nodded and sighed softly in her heart.
She and Lu Zhao had experienced so much together. How could she treat Lu Zhao as a character in a game?
However, it seemed impossible to return to the real world now, so it was more important to solve the problems here first.
At that moment, Old Master Lu appeared in the hall. Lu He stood behind him with a smug smile on her face.
She stared at Luo Ying hard, as if she was determined to see Luo Ying make a fool of herself.
Luo Ying stood her ground and looked around for Lu Zhao.
But strangely, Lu Zhao seemed to have disappeared.
Luo Ying’s heart was suddenly filled with an ominous premonition.
Old Master Lu spotted Luo Ying. His eyes were filled with disgust.
“Welcome to the Lu Family’s banquet. I’m here to announce two things today,” Old Master Lu said slowly.
Everyone looked at Old Master Lu and held their breaths.
“I will officially step down from the Lu Family’s business and no longer hold any positions.”
Previously, Old Master Lu still held some form of power, but this time, he would be completely relinquishing it.
“I’m prepared to choose a suitable heir among my descendants, but I’m still a little conflicted. Originally, I thought that Lu Zhao was the most outstanding heir, but one of my third son’s children has just returned from abroad recently.
I think he has the right to compete with Lu Zhao.”
At that moment, the door opened, and a handsome man walked in.
He wasn’t wearing a suit, but he was in a simple school uniform. He had curly hair and looked less than twenty years old.
However, his eyes were very sharp. After circling around the field, he locked his gaze on Luo Ying’s face and smiled at her.
Luo Ying felt nauseous.
This person gave her the feeling of staring at a serpent hidden in a doll. He would use his cute appearance to throw others off, but was capable of lethal venom.
Jin Shi also stared at him.
“This is my third brother’s child, Lu Wen,” Lu He said proudly. It was as if Lu Wen wasn’t her nephew, but rather her son.
The old man glanced at the excited Lu He and smiled. “Lu Wen will start working at the company starting from tomorrow. After that, I will choose one of them to be my successor based on his and Lu Zhao’s performance.”
When everyone heard this, they also applauded. The city had not witnessed such an exciting competition between wealthy families for many years. Lu Wen seemed to be really young. It would be really interesting to watch him compete with Lu Zhao.
“There’s one last piece of news. Lu Zhao is about to get engaged to the daughter of the Lin Group, Lin Jin.”
The noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Luo Ying in surprise.
What was going on? Wasn’t Lu Zhao already married to Luo Ying?
Moreover, he seemed to be glued to Luo Ying..
