Lu Qi himself is the patriarch of the seventh branch, so he naturally knows the loyalty that the patriarchs of each branch should uphold.
But even so, he still said with a sullen face: "Madam... those shareholders have all met with Lu Huanting. In addition, four of the nine branch family heads also accepted Lu Huanting's visit."
"Four... How is it possible?!"
This time, the astonishment in Zhuo Yarong's eyes was even stronger than when she heard that Zhuo Mingfu had betrayed her.
"Are they going to rebel? They even dare to violate the clan rules of the Lu family!" The tenderness in Zhuo Yarong's eyes disappeared.
After all, she had been Mrs. Lu for decades. After her face turned cold, she slammed her palm hard on the table with an air of majesty.
"I'm afraid there's something else going on here."
Lu Qi expressed his doubts, "Each of our branch family heads made a vow when they inherited the position of family head that they must be loyal to the main family for generations."
"They dared to accept Lu Huanting's visit in private. It is very likely that Lu Huanting has something they cannot resist..."
After hearing Lu Qi's speculation, Xinluo also frowned and thought deeply.
"No, not necessarily."
She suddenly remembered what Grandma Lu once told her.
The heads of several branches of the Lu family each have a different temperament.
And those who can become the head of a branch family will not be easily threatened by Lu Huanting.
What's more, how could it be possible that Lu Huanting had the leverage over the four family heads at the same time
"Lu Qi, who are the four family heads who met with Lu Huanting?"
"Lu Si, Lu Wu, Lu Liu and Lu Ba." Lu Qi calmly stated the ranking of these family heads.
When Xinluo heard the word "Lu Si", his heart skipped a beat.
"The head of the Lu family, or Lu Zhihe?"
"Yes, it's still Lu Zhihe." Lu Qi nodded.
"However, Lu Zhihe has basically retreated behind the scenes in the past two years. The one who truly holds the power in the Lu family now is his son... Lu Qinghao."
Zhuo Yarong and Lu Qi both knew about Xinluo and Lu Qinghao's past relationship.
Lu Qi carefully said the name "Lu Qinghao", fearing that the young lady would have some grudges.
Xinluo nodded nonchalantly, as if the name 'Lu Qinghao' was just a stranger to her.
"If that's the case, I guess Lu Huanting didn't use it to threaten them. I don't know about the others, but I know Lu Zhihe and his son. They have always had ambitions. I guess Lu Huanting must have promised them huge benefits."
Having said this, Xinluo looked at Zhuo Yarong, "By the way, Mom, before I came back, Mr. Qiao told me and Yuchen that Lu Huanting threatened him that he had the leverage to bring down Yuchen."
"I don't know whether the so-called handle he mentioned is true or just bluffing, but I believe that even if he didn't tell Mr. Qiao, he would definitely tell these partners."
Several shareholders of Huangting and the four heads of branches who received a visit from Lu Huanting.
Xinluo just didn't believe that none of these people knew what Lu Huanting's trump card was.
"Does he have leverage over Yuchen...?"
For some reason, when Zhuo Yarong heard these words, she felt her heartbeat speeding up.
"No, that's impossible... After so many years, if he really had something on Yu Chen, he should have revealed it long ago."
Seeing Zhuo Yarong's worried look, Xinluo couldn't help but comfort her, "Mom, don't worry. Starting tomorrow, I will let Lu Qi accompany me to visit several shareholders and all the branch family heads. Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely win their support for Yuchen."
