The headline of the financial section of the newspaper was about the latest cooperative development project between the Lu Group and the Zhao Group. The project that the Lu Group cooperated with the Zhao family was originally supposed to be a cooperation with the Guan family!
"This cooperation was agreed upon between your father and I long ago, but you took it upon yourself to sign it to the Zhao family. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Guan Rui asked fiercely.
Lu Tingxiao raised his eyes and glanced at the man calmly: "Director Guan doesn't seem to understand who is in charge of the Lu family now."
"You..." Guan Rui was choked and speechless.
The imperial capital was Lu Tingxiao's territory. If they wanted to gain a foothold, they had to go through the Lu family. However, Lu Tingxiao was now the boss of the Lu family!
Guan Rui could only suppress his anger, slow down his attitude, and said earnestly, "Tingxiao, I don't know if that woman whispered something in your ear, but the facts are in front of us. The last incident is very clear. It was indeed an accident caused by a common quarrel. Not only that, Rongrong has already paid the price of her life for it. Isn't that enough?"
As soon as Guan Rui finished speaking, a dark light flashed across Lu Tingxiao's cold eyes.
Not long ago, he received a call from the police station saying that Cao Lirong had died of sudden heart attack.
Guan Rui was lucky because he had sent people to watch her 24 hours a day, so they had no idea where to start. However, Cao Lirong probably died suddenly in the detention center due to excessive psychological pressure.
Now that there is no evidence, no matter what explanation the Guan family gives, Guan Rui relies on this fact and comes to question him fearlessly.
"What's with the premeditated murder? It's sheer nonsense. There's no evidence at all. Yet, you've ruined the friendship between our Lu and Guan families over the years with just such a trumped-up charge. Tingxiao, think it over carefully!" Guan Rui's tone contained a hint of threat.
Lu Tingxiao looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly and said slowly, "Who said I need evidence?"
Who said I needed evidence to stop the cooperation
Do you need a reason to vent your anger on your wife
Guan Rui was really angry this time, "For a woman, you are so ignorant of right and wrong. You have been bewitched by that woman. One day you will regret it!"
Guan Rui came in a rage and left in even greater anger.
After leaving the Lu Group building, he immediately went directly to the Lu family's old house. As a result, when he arrived, he was told that Lu Chongshan was in the Platinum Imperial Palace.
So, Guan Rui had no choice but to rush to the Platinum Imperial Palace again.
When Guan Rui arrived, Xiaobao was learning painting from Song Jin in the small red building at the back. Lu Chongshan was also watching from the side, occasionally chatting with Song Jin about his thoughts or Xiaobao's interesting stories. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
When Lu Chongshan heard from the servant that Guan Rui had found his way here, he became unhappy because his time with his grandson was interrupted.
"Mr. Song, I have a guest here, so I'll excuse myself first."
Helplessly, Lu Chongshan could only greet Song Jin, and then went to the living room to receive Guan Rui.
"Brother Guan, what brings you here? Why didn't you inform me in advance?" Lu Chongshan walked over and said politely.
"Your phone is unreachable." Guan Rui said with a sullen face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chongshan hurriedly said, "Hey, look at my memory. I was just accompanying my grandson to practice painting, so I turned off my phone. I'm really sorry!"
