Chapter 726 To put less worry (1/2)
As Madam Lu's sobbing voice echoes inside the corridor of Cloth Co.'s fourth floor, the person on the other line did not say a word.
She quickly realizes this and stops crying. Glancing at her phone screen, she frowns when she saw that the line was still connected.
”Honey? Are you listening? Did you hear anything I said?”
The call kept silent for a long second before a long sigh can be vaguely heard and Old Lu's voice can faintly be heard.
[”Dear, why are you crying? You know it breaks my heart to hear you cry like this.”]
Hearing this, Madam Lu's moistened eyes dry without tears and her cheek flush red. She turns into a shy and bashful little girl.
”It's all Tian's fault. He kept the meeting with our daughter-in-law a secret. If I had not stopped by the company, I wouldn't have to suffer the loss of this meeting with Ah Ling.”
She sounds a faint sob and wipes away any tears that still lingered at the end of her eyes.
”If I knew she wanted to collaborate with Cloth Co., I would have agreed without any need to meet.”
As the person who can endure this side of his wife, Old Lu heaves another sigh, and his voice sounds again.
[”Dear, you know how Tian is. He must have his reason for doing what he did. Don't cry anymore. Come home, I bought your favorite egg custard tarts.”]
Hearing the name of her favorite dessert, Madam Lu decides not to push after Lu Tian for answers. She should know that between her two sons, Lu Tian is cold and aloof, but he is also stubborn. Especially now that Yue Ling has entered his life.
As Madam Lu leaves the company, back inside the conference room, Liu Shan and Manager He was left alone in a daze.
”Um… What just happened?”
Liu Shan subconsciously spoke his mind and his words brought Manager He back to his senses.
Even he (Manager He) was unable to process the situation that just happened. As someone who has worked alongside Madam Lu for many years, he has never seen her show so much favor towards anyone other than her niece, Zhao Ya'Er.”
It was the same for Lu Tian. He heard that the boy has fallen for a girl, but he (Manager He) did not think it was this serious.
Then again, from his short time of meeting Yue Ling, he can now relax in ease knowing that Lu Tian has finally found a girl.
However, brushing these thoughts aside, he thought back to Liu Shan's question. The image of Lu Tian and Madam Lu's behavior towards Yue Ling enters his mind and shakes his head.
”Jealousy is unhealthy for the human body.”
He walks over to Liu Shan and pat the young man on the shoulder with a smile.
”Since our bosses are discussing the meeting elsewhere, should I give you a tour of the company?”
Still in a daze, Liu Shan obligingly nods his head without thinking. He looks at Manager He but flinches in fear when he saw the middle-aged man's smiling face.
He swallows a hard a difficult gulp before gesture to the door and trembles a crooked smile.
”P-Please lead the way.”
Manager He's smile widens and without any intention of staying in the room, he walks out to lead the way. Behind him, Liu Shan pats his chest and was able to breathe again.
He inhales a deep breath then glances at Manager He's departing figure. It was at that moment, that he couldn't help but sob inside.
'Boss, how can you leave me here, alone, with Jafar? Why? Why?'
Outside of Cloth Co., a metallic silver Lotus Evora drives out from the parking lot and enters the streets of Imperial. Inside the car, Yue Ling sat in the passenger seat in a daze as her head turn to look at the driver.
”Where are we going? Why are we leaving Cloth Co.?”
She thought they were only going to a different room, but he had led her out of the building. Not only that, but he also led her to the beautiful beast she was admiring upon arrival,
It was also then that she felt like an idiot for not realizing sooner.
Who else in all of Imperial can afford to buy so many luxurious cars?
Lu Tian continues to drive the car, but he didn't forget to answer her question.
”We're going somewhere to finish out meeting.”
