Chapter 146 - Go Back and Have a Nice Little Chat With Young Master Mu
On the other end of the phone, Luo Anguo chuckled.
“Chenxi, what are you talking about? I’m just a father who’s missing his daughter, so it’s only natural for me to ask you to come home for a meal.”
Luo Chenxi sneered. “Luo Anguo, cut the crap. I don’t have time for your little games, get to the point or I’m hanging up.”
“Hey, don’t hang up, don’t hang up! I have updates regarding Lu Wenjun’s heart transplant surgery. Come home and I’ll tell you the details.”
Luo Chenxi hung up the phone and asked Old Liu to drive to the Luo family.
Although she did not know what Luo Anguo was planning, she had no choice but to do as he said since he used Lu Wenjun’s surgery as an excuse.
At the Luo Family’s residence.
“My dear daughter, come in, come in! Why are you here so early? The food isn’t even ready yet! Is there anything that you’d like for dinner? Just tell me, daddy will get the chef to prepare anything you like.”
Luo Anguo’s face filled with bright smiles really looked like the face of a father who genuinely missed his daughter.
Luo Chenxi stood still at the door with no intention of going in.
“How’s mommy’s condition? Cut to the chase.”
“Hey, how are we to talk when you are standing right at the door? Come on in for now, once we have dinner…”
“The Mu Family has strict house rules. Mu Yichen doesn’t allow me to eat out.” Luo Chenxi could not be bothered to argue with him, so she simply brought up Mu Yichen to be the ultimate catalyst to the conversation.
Hearing this, Luo Anguo surprisingly revealed a widened smile.
“My dear daughter, daddy is relieved to know that you are so close to Young Master Mu.”
“I’ve already pulled some strings and handed over Miss Lu’s medical records and miscellaneous materials to the National Medical Center. She is now at the top of the priority list. Once a suitable donor appears, the transplant surgery can be performed immediately. So, don’t worry, it won’t be long until that happens!”
Hearing this, Luo Chenxi’s expression relaxed a little. “At least you still have some conscience.”
It was a known fact that heart donations were carried out under the condition that the donor’s brain had been declared dead, and under the consent of the donor’s family. Thus, no one could be sure when a suitable donor would appear.
To be ahead of the queue on the priority list meant a big part of a solution to the problem. All that was left was to depend on luck.
Luo Anguo frowned and said, “However, this surgery involves a huge sum of money. It’s not something that can be done without at least a few million RMB. So, looking at the Luo Family’s situation… Sigh, it’s so hard to put it into words!”
Luo Chenxi instantly understood that this was the main point of the conversation.
She curled her lips. “Since it’s so hard to be put into words, let’s not talk about it. Alright, I’m heading back.”
“Wait!” Luo Anguo tugged her back and went straight to the point as he said, “The Mu Group is trying to develop a piece of land in Cheng Dong. It’s a huge project, so the Luo Family has been trying to partner up with them on this. However, there are just too many competitors that are trying to do the same, so daddy doesn’t really have the confidence…”
Luo Chenxi crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I believe in Chief Luo’s abilities.”
Luo Anguo nearly choked.
He hurriedly coughed dryly. “Chenxi, go back and have a nice little chat with Young Master Mu, try asking him to hand over this project to the Luo Family.”
“Chief Luo, are you perhaps mistaken? Young Master Mu doesn’t treat me as his wife at all, my words have never been persuasive from the first place. So, you’d be better off preparing to compete against your competitors.”
Luo Chenxi turned around and tried to leave.
Luo Anguo’s expression instantly changed and he shouted sternly, “Stop right there!”
“Luo Chenxi, don’t think that you can cast aside the Luo Family just because you managed to settle yourself down in the Mu Family. I’m telling you this, if the Luo Family fails to grab this project, I’ll immediately withdraw all of Lu Wenjun’s files given to the National Medical Center!”
“When that happens, Lu Wenjun might not even be able to live long enough to wait for her turn even if you start queueing up from the bottom of the list.”
“You…”
Luo Chenxi’s face darkened.
