“What are you doing here?” Lu Zhao was originally dealing with official business, but he was a little surprised to see a woman walking in with Wen Du. She looked cute and demure.
“This is my assistant, Chen Lin.”
Chen Lin was very young. She looked at Lu Zhao with sparkling eyes.
Lu Zhao didn’t look at the woman. He kept his eyes on Wen Du. “I did not call for you. I’ve been doing fine. Why are you here?”
“It’s true that Sirius thinks you’ve been very stable as of late. I’m only here for a follow-up. If the results are good this time, we can change the time of the next examination to once every six months,” Wen Du lied without changing his expression.
“I’m indeed feeling better recently. I’m in much better spirits. Ever since Luo Ying came back, I’ve never felt much any happier.” Lu Zhao’s expression lit up as he spoke of her.
“Didn’t that woman betray you before?” Wen Du showed a curious expression. “She has been pursuing Lin Su like an unhinged woman, hasn’t she? Has that changed?”
He was asking Lu Zhao a leading question to see how much he relied on Luo Ying.
This woman had been so infatuated with Lin Su before. She was willing to take on the judgment of the entire world to be with him. He didn’t believe that Lu Zhao would open up his heart to her this soon.
“I believe her. Her love for me now is all real,” Lu Zhao said, his words very firm.
Wen Du paused for a moment. The situation seemed to be more difficult than he had imagined. Lu Zhao’s obsession with Luo Ying had already exceeded his imagination.
“Why are you so assured of this? Is it possible that she’s manipulating you yet again?” Sirius pressed.
“That’s not possible. She has changed.” Lu Zhao lowered his head, his eyes full of love. “I’m only worried about her going back one day, but I will never doubt the love she has for me now.”
Sirius frowned. “What do you mean by ‘going back’?”
“It’s nothing.” Lu Zhao’s tone turned cold in an instant. “You won’t understand. I don’t care what you think of her. I just want you to know that I don’t intend to break up with her. We’ve got something very beautiful going on now, so don’t you ruin it.”
Lu Zhao was protecting Luo Ying ferociously. Sirius felt a headache beginning to kick in. What kind of poison had this friend of his been drugged with, to be so loyal to this woman?
Wen Du did not pursue the matter further and continued to guide him patiently. “How are you and your grandfather doing recently?”
Lu Zhao had never been acknowledged by his family before, and this was one of the reasons why Lu Zhao had such a fragile psyche.
At the mention of Old Master Lu, Lu Zhao clenched his fists tightly.
That cunning, coldhearted old man had not stopped circling over his head like a vulture. He was hoping, waiting for his grandson to be rendered incapable of running his company.
“He threatened me with my mother’s matter. Heh, does he still think he still controls the monopoly in the city?” Lu Zhao’s words were full of ridicule. However, Wen Du heard something unusual. “He’s threatening you?”
“You’re lying, Lu Zhao. We signed this on paper. We do not lie to each other,” Wen Du said coldly.
Wen Du’s statement almost sounded like a threat.
Lu Zhao had been very violent when his illness acted up. Several psychologists were quickly burned through by him, but only Wen Du had remained. Wen Du had proven himself to be an excellent practitioner, so Lu Zhao had signed a long-term treatment agreement with Wen Du after he recovered.
“Don’t lie to me,” Wen Du’s eyes were fixed on Lu Zhao.
“The old man did not threaten you with your mother, but with Luo Ying, right?” Wen Du said slowly.
He had some understanding of the old man’s temper. The old man was a
demon of the business world in his heyday. He did not exactly disapprove of Lu Zhao, but he set impossible standards on him. He wanted Lu Zhao to function like an emotionless, efficient machine.
Besides, if he could get his grandson to abandon Luo Ying, he might be able to build a good relationship with the Lin Family.. What was there to lose?
