Chapter 1170: Cancel The Cooperation
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up slightly as she said in a disdainful tone, “I’m laughing at Young Master Lu for being too naive! Seeing Young Master Lu so happy, I really couldn’t bear to interrupt his happiness, but I couldn’t help but laugh.”
Lu Xiang’s expression was ferocious. What was Qiao Xi talking about?!
She was instantly infuriated, but Lu Yan’s heart thumped. He kept having the feeling that whenever Qiao Xi appeared, his plan would definitely be ruined.
However, he still did not understand what Qiao Xi meant. Could it be that she had other tricks up her sleeve? However, even if she and Gu Zheng told others about what had happened today, without the evidence from the Grand Old Master and Lu Bai, who would believe them?
The grand old master’s health was not good, and he might fall into a coma again at any time. He and the Lu family were on the same page, so those people would not reveal this secret. Now, as long as he snatched the surveillance footage, Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi would have no evidence. No one would believe them no matter what.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
At this moment, Lu Yan’s phone suddenly rang.
Previously, there was no signal in the Lu family’s mansion, and no one thought too much about it. Now that Lu Yan’s phone rang, everyone realized that the signal had been restored.
After Lu Yan picked up the call, his tone became respectful. “President Wu…”
“Lu Yan, our collaboration has been canceled. Although our Wu family isn’t a big family, we still know etiquette, integrity, and shame. It’s absolutely impossible for us to work with a despicable person like you!”
Before Lu Yan could respond, President Wu instantly hung up. Lu Yan looked confused. He did not understand why the Wu family would break the contract, but fortunately, the Wu family was not an important business partner to the Lu family. At most, he would look for someone else to collaborate with.
Immediately after, the phone rang again. The other party’s tone was gentle. “Young Master Lu, I’m sorry, but I think this project isn’t too good, so I’m backing out!”
Lu Yan’s expression suddenly changed. Before he could say anything, the other party had mercilessly hung up. Next, he received another call. It was also to cancel a collaboration. Lu Yan hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask, “President Zhong, why?”
“You still have the cheek to ask me?” Mr. Zhong sounded surprised. “Young Master Lu, why are you still pretending at a time like this?!”
Lu Yan suppressed his anger and asked patiently, “Mr. Zhong, I really don’t understand. What’s going on?”
“Heh! Isn’t your Lu family doing a live broadcast? The entire country is watching you make a fool of yourself! You’re the child of a mistress and have nothing to do with the Lu family at all. Now, you still want to use your identity as Young Master Lu to discuss a collaboration with us? Dream on! We’ll only work with the true heir of the Lu family. An illegitimate child like you isn’t worthy!
“You and Huang Lilan joined forces to plot against President Gu, so why are you still pretending to be innocent?! Everyone knows your true colors now! Lu Yan, don’t appear in front of me in the future. Otherwise, I might not be able to help myself from beating you up!”
Lu Yan’s ears buzzed, and his heart ached. He gasped. Before he could speak, the other party had already hung up in disgust. Mr. Zhong’s words kept echoing in his mind.
Live broadcast? Someone was actually doing a live broadcast in the Lu family? Now that the entire Li City knew his identity, would the news of him threatening the Lu family spread?
Lu Yan felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not come back to his senses for a long time. Then, despair surged in his heart.
No wonder Qiao Xi laughed at him for being too naive just now. It turned out that someone was doing a live broadcast.
Lu Yan abruptly raised his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was ferocious. He completely lost the demeanor of a noble young master. He roared, “Qiao Xi! It’s you! You started a live broadcast!”
However, how was that possible? If she had started a live broadcast, why didn’t anyone in the Lu family notice it? He had so many subordinates guarding the ancestral hall. If they had noticed the abnormality, they would have called to inform him or Lu Xiang.
Phone call? Right, there was no signal in the Lu family’s mansion just now.
Everyone could not help but look at Qiao Xi. Lu Xiang pointed at Qiao Xi and shouted crazily, “B*tch! You did it!”
Qiao Xi blinked innocently. “Don’t spout nonsense! I didn’t know that someone was doing a live broadcast here. I’ve always been standing in the corner, so how could I have started a live broadcast?”
Lu Yan could not help but tremble as he said with difficulty, “Q-Qiao Xi! I’ve never offended you. Why are you… doing this to me?”
“You’ve never offended me?” Qiao Xi chuckled and said in a gentle voice, “Young Master Lu, why do you think so? Don’t forget that I’m Ah Zheng’s wife! Back then, you abused and tortured Ah Zheng with Huang Lilan, so you have offended me. Yet you actually have the cheek to ask me why? How laughable!”
