Chapter 295 Canst serve two masters (2/2)

”I'm sorry for coming uninvited, Miss…?” Gulping the small portion of tea he sipped, Edward Lu marginally raised his brows as he turned his head to Lexi's figure. Scanning the woman he had been dying to meet, he nodded his head as his grandson surely didn't disappoint him.

”Yang; My name is Lexi Yang.” Cold and emotionless, Lexi chillingly introduced herself and only bowed her head a little.

”Nice to meet you, Miss Yang.” Ignoring her displeasure, Edward Lu smiled as he glanced at the man who was behind her, where Nico Zhuang was still bowing his head, yet, he didn't ask him to raise his head as he shifted his gaze to Lexi again.

”Take a seat?” he proposed.

”Nico, stop embarrassing me— raise your head.” Seeing that Edward Lu ignored Nico Zhuang's posture, Lexi locked her piercing gaze to Edward Lu as she ordered Nico to correct his posture— ignoring his invitation as well.

Upon hearing her dauntless command and ignoring his invitation upfront, Edward Lu raised his brows and looked at Nico Zhuang again to see if this lad who was raised under the Lu family system would listen to an outsider. After all, almost all of the new generations of the guards in the family were raised and sponsored by them. It was akin to raising a dog in the house to be obedient.

Meanwhile, sweat began to break on Nico Zhuang's back as he glanced at Lexi and then to Edward Lu who was directly looking at him with amusement. Why was Lexi purposely placing him in a tough position and boldly going up against Edward Lu? God knows that this old master of the Lu family was not to be messed with as he wouldn't be the family head for the longest time if he was easily dealt with.

”Nico, don't make me repeat myself. Remember you are with me now.” Sensing the reluctance of Nico Zhuang who had been very obedient and reliable on her side, Lexi uttered. She didn't move a muscle and welcome Edward Lu, as if the only person on her side now would remain bowing like a fool.

'You can't serve two masters at the same time, Nico. You have to choose now.' She spoke inwardly as she also did it to test Nico Zhuang's loyalty to Ethan Lu. After all, if Nico Zhuang would still listen to Edward Lu, then, Ethan Lu would be nothing but a puppet to this old geezer.

Altering his gaze once again from Edward Lu to Lexi, Nico Zhuang gritted his teeth as her last remarks and all of her words of wisdom in the past flashed before his eyes. Hence, making up his mind, Nico Zhuang let out another faint exhale before raising his head and tugged his formal attire to straighten. The moment his face was revealed, his struggles earlier were already gone as his expression turned back to being stoic.
