Luo Wan spoke slowly. “Such a lovely couple. I’m so envious of your love. But I’m a little curious. It doesn’t add up. In spite of such deep love, why did is the partnership still being called off?”
Before Lu Zhao could say anything, Luo Hao put his chopsticks down with an audible click.
“It’s a family dinner today. There will be no talking about business at the table.” When he saw his daughter and son-in-law getting along so well, Luo Hao felt a huge weight being lifted off his chest.
Business was a distant concern. Lu Zhao and Luo Ying seemed to have mended fences, he would have plenty of time to talk to Lu Zhao later.
“Dad, didn’t we ask brother-in-law to come over to inquire about the project? Why isn’t he saying anything? I’m happy to see them being such a lovely couple, but the world still moves on around them. They can’t ignore family matters.”
Luo Ying could tell that Luo Wan was trying to sow discord.
Luo Ying looked at Luo Hao. His heart problems were getting to him. His lips were a little dark, and he was panting heavily.
“Father, I don’t think a company as big as the Lu Corporation would cancel a cooperation for no reason. As far as I know, this partnership concerns electronic chips. The market for electronic chips is shrinking year by year, and this path may not hold much promise in the future.”
Luo Ying still remembered some contents of the book. Lu Zhao had indeed rejected the proposal, but in turn, he counter-offered Luo Hao a better and more promising project.
“You’re just a B list star. What would you know? Chen Zhi told me that although electronic chips won’t have much prospects, they’re still good for making a quick buck,” Luo Wan said anxiously.
Chen Zhi was Luo Wan’s cousin and the child of Liao Hong’s younger sister. He was now working in the Luo family’s company and was fully in charge of the collaborative project.
“I’m sorry to hear that Chen Zhi’s own project didn’t get approved. But what does it have to do with our family’s partnership with the Lu family?” Luo Ying asked with a smile.
She didn’t expect Luo Wan to give herself away so quickly.
In the original book, the Luo family’s company went to the rocks, and Chen Zhi and Luo Wan’s contributions in that matter could no longer be hidden.
Luo Hao frowned. “We have always been stringent with Q.C.”
He had not expected his daughter, who had never been interested in business, to know so much.
Luo Ying looked at Luo Hao’s white hair and felt a little sad. This man had always been looking out for his son and daughter, and had never thought for himself.
“Oh, dad, we’re not in a hurry to start a new project. Our family’s projects have been stable recently. You should find time to rest and get a physical examination. I’ve made an appointment for you for next Monday’s physical examination. Remember to go.” Luo Ying smiled as she took out a physical examination card and handed it to Luo Hao.
For a moment, Luo Hao’s eyes betrayed the warmth within.
Lu Zhao looked at the petite woman in front of him. She had truly changed a lot. She used to disobey her father, but today she was so considerate of Luo Hao.
“Dad, I’ll consider the project, but there’s indeed a problem with the project that Chen Zhi handed over. If he’s managing it in the future, I’m not going to give it much through,” Lu Zhao said coldly.
This sentence was equivalent to a death sentence for Chen Zhi. This was his only foothold in the company.
Liao Hong looked at Luo Ying, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Luo Ying was now starting to break down her hold in the company. She had not seen this coming. Did the doctor give Luo Ying a new brain after she jumped off the building?
Luo Hao and Luo Ying enjoyed the meal thoroughly.
After the meal, Luo Ying and Lu Zhao got ready to leave.
Luo Wan had not taken Luo Ying’s warning to heart. Instead, she smiled at Lu Zhao and said, “Brother-in-law, why don’t you stay for the night? Sister’s room is a little small, but we do have a guest room.”
Luo Ying looked at Luo Wan discontentedly. This woman would not leave her husband alone, and she had harmed the original Luo Ying many times over.
“I’m sorry, your brother-in-law won’t be able to sleep without me.” Luo Ying looked at Luo Wan and laughed.
“Luo Ying, how can you be so shameless?” Luo Wan frowned and looked at Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao nodded. “We won’t disturb you tonight. I most certainly can’t sleep at night without Luo Ying.”
Luo Wan was so angry that she dropped all pretenses and threw an ugly scowl across the room. Luo Ying was here to make things difficult for her. She clearly said that she would definitely divorce Lu Zhao, but now she has gone back on her words and even brought Lu Zhao here to show off. Wasn’t she clearly provoking her?
“Alright, since you’re going back, do be careful.” Luo Hao interrupted their conversation and let Luo Ying and Lu Zhao go home.
