Chapter 21
Making Things Difficult
“Father, Mother, I don’t want to argue about this anymore, but I won’t forget how Lu Rou hurt me. How I treat her in the future will depend on her performance.”
Seeing that Lu Zhen had finally relented, Lu He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. As long as Lu Zhen made her stand clear, there wouldn’t be any problems with the businesses he was involved in under Lu Zhen’s name.
Lu He stopped talking after getting the result he wanted, but Wu Yu continued to chatter. She even asked Lu Zhen how she was going to restore Lu Rou’s reputation.
“Zhenzhen! Since you’ve already forgiven Lu Rou, shouldn’t you explain about the audio?”
“How do you want me to explain, Mother?” Lu Rou asked unhurriedly.
Wu Yu didn’t seem to hear the sarcasm in Deer Truth’s words and actually started thinking carefully.
“How about this? Tell them it was all a misunderstanding, caused by a lack of proper investigation. I hope everyone will stop paying attention to this.”
“The audio was clear. I’m afraid even if I explained, no one would believe me.”
“How about this? Tell them that you were misled by someone who thought that Lu Rou hated you, so you got someone to record it to scare her.”
Lu Rou couldn’t help but laugh at Wu Yu’s shamelessness. If she really did what Wu Yu said, what would she become? Not only would she seem to have moral problems, but she would also seem dumb!
Hearing Wu Yu’s words, Lu He felt that it was too much. He quickly pulled Wu Yu, who was still chattering and thinking about how to clear Lu Rou’s name.
He also wanted to clear his biological daughter’s name, but things had already developed to this point. There was no way to let Lu Rou escape unscathed. There was still hope before that audio was released…
Lu He looked at Lu Zhen meaningfully.
Lu Rou and the others had been searching for Lu Zhen all day, but she had returned not long after the audio announcement. Was this a coincidence? Or had Lu Zhen done it on purpose?
Wu Yu shut up when she saw her husband’s livid expression.
“Mother, I can’t do what you said. I can only post on Weibo to show that the matter has passed. Lu Rou and I are still sisters. If you ask me to do something against my will again, I can only be unfilial.”
At this point, Wu Yu knew that she couldn’t change Lu Zhen’s decision. She could only force himself to remain silent.
Actually, Wu Yu wasn’t stupid. She was a very shrewd woman. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought of turning Lu Zhen into a money tree. It was just that she became a little irrational when she saw her daughter being insulted online.
“Zhenzhen! When are you going to post on Weibo?”
“The day after tomorrow. I have a TV show launch the day after tomorrow in Sea City.”
“Why drag it out a day? Can’t you post on Weibo whenever you want?”
Lu Rou, who had been listening to her parents speak for her, finally spoke at this moment. She really couldn’t stand those filthy words on the Internet anymore!
“I said that I’ll post it on Weibo. I’ll be the one appearing in the press conference. I can answer all questions in person. Then, I can post it on Weibo to dispel the rumors. However, if I post it before that, it’s not up to me to decide how the fans will speculate.”
“I’ll give you two choices. It’s your choice.”
Lu Zhen threw the question back at Lu Rou. Lu Rou was stunned by her question and looked at Wu Yu in confusion.
“Post it after the press conference.”
Wu Yu answered for Lu Rou.
Lu Zhen nodded in agreement, and the room fell into a strange silence.
It was Lu He who spoke first. “I still have a lot of things to deal with at my company. I’ll go back first.”
After Lu He finished speaking, Wu Yu and Lu Rou also left. Before leaving, Lu Rou didn’t forget to look at Jin Zhan. However, Jin Zhan’s gaze never landed on Lu Rou.
“Zhenzhen.”
Jin Zhan, who had been silent all this time, called Lu Zhen’s name.
Lu Zhen finally remembered him and frowned. It was almost ten o’clock, but there was still an unsolved problem.
“Mr. Jin, a lot has happened today. I’m tired.”
Even though Lu Zhen was clearly chasing him away, Jin Zhan still refused to go.
“Zhenzhen, that girl from today is the sister of a friend of mine. He asked me to help take care of her.”
Lu Zhen chuckled mockingly. “Your girlfriend was in the hospital and you were so busy that you didn’t even have time to see her, but you had time to take care of your friend’s sister?”
Lu Zhen specifically emphasized the word ‘sister’. She knew Lin Wan’s background. Jin Zhan really took her for a fool.
