Chapter 753: Yang Yuelan Gossiping Unnecessarily to Patriarch Lu
The Third Madam waited for Yang Yuelan to come over to Patriarch Lu’s courtyard and informed her. “Yuelan, I will be going out for two hours, do take care of your Grandfather in the meantime. If he feels uncomfortable anywhere, you can call Elder Hu right away.”
Yang Yuelan replied in an obedient manner, “Third Aunt, you can go ahead and get busy with your things. I will take good care of Grandfather.”
Only then did the Third Madam take her leave.
The moment she left, Yang Yuelan looked at Patriarch Lu who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and called out tentatively, “Grandfather.”
Patriarch Lu had clearly fallen asleep. He seemed to have been disturbed due to Yang Yuelan calling out to him and he furrowed his eyebrows.
Yang Yuelan felt afraid, but at the thought that this was a hard-to-come-by opportunity and that she had to make use of it no matter what, she raised her voice and called out, “Grandfather.”
Patriarch Lu finally opened his eyes and he revealed displeasure from being woken up.
Patriarch Lu was now in a stable condition and the duration where he was clear-headed was longer than when he wasn’t. In addition, he would suffer from headaches from time to time. Thus, right now, he was not only egotistical but also had an even more explosive temper.”
“What’s the matter?”
Yang Yuelan clenched her hands and summoned up her courage and said, “Didn’t I ask why Zi Yi wasn’t here to visit Grandfather last night?”
Patriarch Lu did not wish to hear Zi Yi’s name at all. At the mention of her name, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Yang Yuelan held her breath and pretended not to see his displeased expressions as she continued to talk. “Yesterday Second Aunt was still asking Zhiheng for dividends. It’s not like she doesn’t know the company’s current situation. The money should be kept as funds in the company and I originally thought that they were broke, that’s why they asked about dividends. After all, Grandfather had taken back all the rights Second Brother possessed. However…”
At the mention of this, she glanced at Patriarch Lu’s face and saw that he was still listening to her. She started speaking faster. “I heard that Second Brother bought Zi Yi a shop, which is thousands of square meters in space, in the central business district so she could open an art gallery. Moreover, the renovation of the art gallery was fully customized and it cost billions.”
Patriarch Lu’s expression instantly darkened.
Yang Yuelan started wiping her tears. “Right now, the Lu Group doesn’t even have billions of circulating funds and yet, they could take out such a huge sum of money so easily. It’s not like I’m trying to be suspicious of anything, but Zhiheng has been worn out during this period of time just to gather enough funds to start the projects.”
While talking about it, tears started trickling down at a faster rate.
Patriarch Lu stared at the ceiling and he radiated anger all around.
Half a minute later, he said in a cold voice, “Help me up.”
He would like to see how an art gallery can spend up to billions!
The moment Yang Yuelan heard Patriarch Lu, she was delighted and quickly went over to help him up.
She even purposely asked, “Grandfather, Doctor Hu told you to lie on the bed and rest. Why do you want to get up?”
Patriarch Lu obviously would not answer her. He said to her in a commanding tone, “Immediately get someone to prepare the car. I’d like to see what gave them the right to squander the Lu Family’s money like that.”
“This…”
“Hurry and go!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go right away. Grandfather, don’t get angry.”
Yang Yuelan hastily headed to the door.
When she came outside, she called the housekeeper to prepare a car while she gave Lu Zhiheng a call.
At that very moment, Lu Zhiheng was flaring up at the group of executives.
“The billboards throughout the capital had been replaced months ago and so why did you only report to me now?”
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
Lu Zhiheng gnashed his teeth in anger and slammed the documents on his table while he shouted furiously, “Are you all mute? Director Li, tell me. As the Marketing Director, why didn’t you report such a serious problem?”
“President. I did submit a report the month when the billboards were removed.”
The time when Director Li submitted the report just so happened to be the period when Lu Zhiheng took over the Lu Group. He had been burnt out by taking care of the other work and so how could he possibly pay attention to something so insignificant?
Lu Zhiheng immediately pushed the responsibility to Lu Jingye after hearing that.
“Lu! Jing! Ye! It must be you who purposely suppressed this! F*ck!”
Lu Zhiheng suddenly cursed and scared his subordinates as they dared not utter a single sound.
However, everyone clearly knew what was going on.
If not for the fact that the Lu Group paid out high salaries, many of them would have wanted to leave already.
Lu Zhiheng was panting in anger and just then, his phone suddenly rang.
He took a look at the caller ID and answered, “What’s the matter?”
In the next second, his eyebrows smoothened out and he suddenly stood up from the chair. With one hand grabbing onto his phone, he said, “I’ll be there right away.”
His other hand picked up his suit jacket that was resting on the chair and he left in large strides, leaving behind a group of subordinates who were stumped by the situation.
Lu Zhiheng was not in the mood to continue the meeting. After he left the room, he quickly contacted the reporters he was familiar with.
“Immediately gather the top reporters of your news agency to head over to [Future Gallery]. I’ll let your news agency get an exclusive scoop today.”
Having settled the reporters, he quickly called for his bodyguards. “Bring more people along and head over to [Future Gallery] with me.”
…
Almost at the same time, Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao received news from the main residence.
Lu Jingye and Lu Yunxiao did not notify anyone and they stood in a corner.
“Brother, do you want me to take some people and send Grandfather home?”
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi who was standing elsewhere and currently in a conversation with some guests, then he looked at Mrs. Lu who was smiling widely. He lowered his eyes and said, “Protect Grandfather. Don’t let anything happen to him in the middle of his journey.”
Lu Yunxiao looked at his expression for a few seconds and did not ask anything. He nodded his head and headed outside.
Lu Jingye waited for Lu Yunxiao to leave before he came over to Zi Yi. “Yiyi, I have something to tell you.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and informed the others. “Have a look around, I’ll be back later.”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye headed over to a corner.
“Ah Jing, what’s the matter?”
Lu Jingye did not say anything to her and merely said, “Bring Grandfather Dou to somewhere empty, I’ll call my Mother over.”
Zi Yi immediately detected something was going on and she nodded her head. She went over and talked to Elder Dou and helped him over to an empty corner. By the time she went over, Lu Jingye and Mrs. Lu were already there.
Mrs. Lu was currently questioning Lu Jingye. “Jingye, why did you call me over so secretively?”
Just then, she saw Zi Yi helping Elder Dou over and her heart clenched tightly. “Did something happen?”
Lu Jingye patted her hand and comforted her. After Zi Yi and Elder Dou came over, he explained to them that his Grandfather would be coming over very soon.
“What?!” Mrs. Lu instantly exploded. “What’s he planning to do by coming here? To cause trouble? Does he not want anyone around him to have a good time?”
At the mention of this, her eyes instantly turned red. “Is it that he can’t see us and Yiyi having a good time? The moment he recovered slightly, he’s acting up again.”
Elder Dou’s expression was not good after hearing the news. However, he did not flare-up. Instead, he looked at Lu Jingye and asked, “Jingye, do you already have a plan?”
Lu Jingye nodded his head and looked at Zi Yi.
