Chapter 288 Father Lu's Request
"Aren't you confused? Linlin and Lu Chen are already engaged."
After pondering for a long time, Bai's father still couldn't recall any relevant information, so he simply gave up, and then brought out the fact that he was engaged to refute Bai's mother.
"You've said it all, it's just an engagement, and it's not a big deal. I thought that child Lu Chen was okay at the beginning, but when I compare it now, it's nothing more than that."
Mother Bai continued to refute, she still seemed to be very casual when she spoke, looking down at her new manicure, and gently touching it with her fingertips, as if admiring it.
"You... Our two families have known each other for such a long time, and the two children have always gotten along very well. If you suddenly say this, where will I put my face in the future?"
Bai's father was already in a hurry, obviously he did not agree with Bai's mother's approach.
"Your face? Are you only caring about your face, and not caring about your own daughter's happiness?"
Mother Bai continued to yell at Father Bai, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes without hesitation.
"But didn't those two children get along very well all the time?"
Father Bai said helplessly, leaving one free hand to directly support his forehead and gently press it.
"Hmph, you are busy with your so-called 'concern with people's livelihood' work all day long. Have you ever cared about your daughter? Look at that Lu Chen, not to mention visiting our house, how much does he have? Haven't appeared in front of us for a long time? Do you think I can't be in a hurry? "
While speaking, Mother Bai wrapped her hands around her chest, looking very helpless, annoyed and unwilling, which prompted this woman to have such an excited look when she saw Wen Yunian's appearance.
"Recently... Lu's condition doesn't seem to be very good, so the child must be busy."
As the mayor, Bai Qintian knows a little bit about these big companies in this city, especially the Lu family. After all, he and that old guy Lu Che have known each other for such a long time. Concern, the most basic understanding is still there.
"What? Could something be wrong?"
After hearing Bai Qintian's words, Bai Mu immediately sat up straight, and the expression on her face immediately changed to another very serious one.
If something went wrong with the Lu family, she wouldn't be so stupid and just let her precious daughter go there to live a hard life.
"The specifics are not very clear, but... I must have encountered some difficult problems recently, and... the youngest son of the Lu family seems to be very uneasy recently..."
Since Bai Qintian can sit in the position of mayor, even if he can't understand these things, compared to ordinary people, he will know more or less the inside story.
"Youngest son? That Lu Zhan? Isn't the company always managed by Lu Chen? Does he seem to have a branch company? What's wrong?"
"Details, how do I know so much?"
After a busy day, Bai Qintian was obviously a little tired and seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue any longer, so he directly picked up the briefcase beside him, stood up, and was about to go to the study room walk over.
"Hey...you stop for me, I haven't finished yet!"
Bai's mother looked resolute, and immediately followed behind Bai's father.
"I'm tired, and I still have work to do, so don't ask me any more. I'll sleep in the study at night." Father Bai didn't even turn his head, and continued to say such a sentence, which already meant a lot. Obviously, let Bai Mu stop following behind her.
"you……"
Bai's mother was obviously very angry, she stood there alone with her waist in her hands, looking annoyed, but she had nothing to do with Bai's father.
At this time, in Lu's CEO's office, even though it was very late, the lights in the office were still on.
The man was standing in front of the huge French window at this time, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand was holding a cigarette, and the smoke was winding and rose to the man's face. Against the background of the smoke, coupled with the gloomy expression on the man's face, everything seemed so indifferent and mysterious.
Outside the window, the neon lights are shining, and the road downstairs is full of vehicles. Even though it is very late now, there are still people like him who are working hard for their own lives... …
"Xiao Shang, I'm sorry..."
The man picked up the cigarette and took a sharp puff, then murmured something.
He knew that the woman had been busy with the jewelry exhibition recently, and he paid attention to it from time to time, but even if the man knew the time of the woman's exhibition, unfortunately, he couldn't Take the time and go check it out.
"You must be very disappointed?"
There was a bleak smile on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth. The expression on his face was helpless, but also ridiculed at himself, and the deep expression in the man's eyes was something that no one could understand at this time. deep meaning.
"Dong dong dong..."
In the huge office, it was originally in a state of silence, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Enter……"
The man turned around, immediately put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and walked to the sofa in the reception area on the other side.
"President, that..."
The one who knocked on the door and came in was Lu Chen's assistant who had just been here not long ago. When he spoke, he always looked hesitant, and looked at Lu Chen with the same evasive look.
"What's the matter? Just say it!" When Lu Chen spoke, there was an undisguised hint of warning in Lu Chen's tone.
Even though this assistant is a girl, Lu Chen has always been so fair and rigorous in his work. If it weren't for the company's current special situation, he would never allow such a situation to happen to the employees.
"The chairman just called to tell you to go back to the main house."
The new female assistant was a little frightened by Lu Chen's serious expression, and immediately told Lu Chen what she needed to report.
"Understood, let's go out."
After dropping these words, Lu Chen turned and walked back to his desk.
And that female assistant, after receiving this order from Lu Chen, ran towards the position outside the door almost as if escaping.
"call……"
When she just went out, the female assistant let out a long sigh. She was really unlucky. Not long after she came to the company, the huge Lu family encountered an unprecedented crisis. Not to mention, she actually had to work overtime with the president until so late Time is really too hard.
"Fortunately, I have this phone call, otherwise I might go back tonight..."
After the female assistant returned to her seat, she had been secretly watching Lu Chen's movements in the CEO's office. After all, it was related to the exact time when she returned home.
Fortunately, after a while, Lu Chen walked out of the office with his suit jacket, and the female assistant quietly shrank in the seat. After seeing the president over there entering the elevator dedicated to the president, this Dare to quickly pack all his things, walked to the door of Lu Chen's office to confirm that the door was locked, and finally turned around and turned off the lights in the entire office, and he finally got off work smoothly.
In the past, the roads in the urban area could be said to be extremely congested, but now the road is unimpeded. Lu Chen pressed down all the front windows and let the cool and warm spring night The wind blows on his face.
The man's short hair fluttered wantonly in the wind, and there was no excessive emotional change on his face. His eyes, illuminated by the light flickering back and forth outside the window, looked star-studded.
Soon, the man's car parked steadily at the door of the Lu family's main house, and when Lu Chen got off the car, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door.
"Master."
The housekeeper nodded in greeting to Lu Chen, and at the same time subconsciously stretched out his hand, waiting for Lu Chen to hand him the car keys so that he could park the car in the garage.
"No, I'll leave later."
After Lu Chen said something in a cold voice, he walked straight into the yard.
After hearing what Lu Chen said, the butler immediately turned around, quickly followed behind Lu Chen, and walked into the room.
"Master and Madam, the Eldest Young Master is back."
The moment the door was opened, the butler immediately 'informed' the people in the room.
"You called me back?"
This was the first sentence Lu Chen said after entering the door. At this moment, Lu father and Lu mother were sitting in the middle of the sofa. When Lu Chen spoke, both of them raised their heads and looked at him. Lu Chen.
"Have you eaten yet? Chen'er?"
Lu's mother was very witty. Seeing the expression on Lu Chen's face and the tone of his speech, she immediately looked at Lu Chen with a smile and began to ask questions, trying to cover up the topic directly.
"presumptuous!"
However, mother Lu's method did not have any effect.After hearing Lu Chen's words, Lu's father frowned tightly, and the crutch in his hand was unceremoniously smashed on the ground. Naturally, there was a big burst of friction between the crutch and the ground. Screeching sound.
Then, the atmosphere in the whole room immediately became very awkward. Everyone in the room, except Lu Chen and Lu's father, did not dare to show their air.
