Chapter 130 Unveil his mask (2/2)

”I see you've been well since you still have that sharp tongue of yours.” Dennis Lu smiled that didn't reach his eyes.

”Hehe, I missed you too Uncle.” Ethan chuckled after hitting a nerve on Dennis Lu.

Obviously, their seemingly normal exchange of pleasantries affected the stilled atmosphere and change into a suppressing one.

After some time of silence, the door opened once again and the old figure of Edward Lu appeared along with his ever-loyal assistant behind. Upon seeing the chairman, the current head of the family, everyone stood from their seat and courtly bowed their heads.

No one dared to take their seats until Edward Lu perched on the head seat.

Glancing on his right side, Edward Lu quietly humped seeing his rebellious grandson. Fortunately, Lyrick Jiang reported that Ethan Lu was attending this meeting or else, he might have had a mini heart attack upon seeing him.

”Ethan, if you are here to cause trouble then scram.”

”Woah, chairman! How did you know that?” Ethan Lu gaped in surprise which made Edward Lu's under-eye twitched. He added, ”But not that kind of trouble, alright? I'm just here so I can save my untainted name from being tarnished because of groundless accusations due to meddling with my dear Uncle Dennis project.”

Ethan Lu sighed heavily as if the whole world wronged him. Yet, his unfiltered words displeased the majority of the core members of the Lu family.

”Ethan, refrain yourself from insinuating anything.” Displeased by Ethan's ambiguous words, Dennis Lu warned with a threatening tone yet, this only made Ethan Lu's eyes lit up.

”Insinuating anything? Uncle, I had clearly stated the reason why the project should be halted but still, we are having this meeting because you wanted to push the project. Seriously, are you a businessman or a corrupt government official?”

”Ethan Lu!” Upon hearing Ethan's last remarks, Dennis Lu slammed his fist on top of the long table. Veins popped on the back of his hand as his jaw tightened.

Unlike Dennis Lu triggered countenance, Ethan managed to keep his cool as he was satisfied to annoy this uncle of his, he resumed.

”Please Uncle, the land was a previous cemetery -- give the dead some slack. Let them have their peace, jeez!” Ethan shook his head in disappointment as folders were placed in front of every individual by the assistants on the side.

”Granting that the land was indeed cheap and the location was good, but… it's not a good risk because, in the future, the business would die when this awful truth would be exposed. Even if we profited now, the consequences in the future would be dire and the Lu Corporation especially our chain of hotels would be affected as it will be dragged in this impending scandal. Tell me, Uncle, are you trying to sabotage our Lu family?” As Ethan continued his statements, his expression gradually changed and his eyes sharpened while staring directly towards Dennis Lu.

Upon hearing that his usual playful tone gradually changed into a threatening and domineering one, everyone subconsciously gulped a mouthful of saliva. On the other hand, Edward Lu lowkey observed his grandson and seeing him like this, a glint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes.

'He had finally decided to unveil his mask, heh.'
