Chapter 54: Jian Yao Couldn’t Take It Anymore and Ran Away

However, when faced with Wu Yue’s hopeful gaze, Assistant Lin slowly nodded.

Mr. Lu had more than just one son, Lu Chengze.

Compared to Lu Chengze, who was born out of wedlock and lacked proper upbringing, he had always favored Lu Chengyuan.

But Lu Chengze was lucky and met Jian Yao, who was devoted to him.

For the sake of the Jian family’s resources, Mr. Lu had to reluctantly promote Lu Chengze.

Originally, if Lu Chengze had successfully married Jian Yao, his position would have been secure, and no one could have challenged him.

But…

If it weren’t for his professional ethics, he would have really wanted to call him an “idiot.”

Assistant Lin sighed helplessly.

He could only say, “What you sow, you shall reap.”

Wu Yue’s heart sank when he saw Assistant Lin nod.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Chengze walking straight towards the elevator.

The commotion finally caught the attention of a few lazy receptionists. When the girls saw them, their faces turned pale, and they stood there like quails, heads bowed, not daring to speak.

Wu Yue wanted to scold them, but then he felt it was unnecessary.

The news that even the company’s receptionists knew about must have spread like wildfire internally.

In the elevator, Wu Yue finally dared to look at Lu Chengze’s face through the reflection of the elevator.

He still looked the same as when he came out of the police station, expressionless, his emotions unreadable, which made people feel inexplicably cold.

Finally reaching the president’s office, Lu Chengze strode out of the elevator, looking straight ahead, and then slammed the door shut before Wu Yue and Assistant Lin could enter.

Wu Yue touched his nose, which had almost been hit, and frowned at Assistant Lin, “Brother Lu is angry, but it’s not a good idea to keep it bottled up like this!”

Assistant Lin didn’t reply, just gave him a “What do you want to do about it” look.

Wu Yue chuckled, “Why don’t you go in and persuade him?”

Assistant Lin rolled his eyes, finally speaking his first words of the day, “Why don’t you go?”

Wu Yue scratched his nose, “If I dared to go, would it be your turn?”

Remembering what the receptionist said, he frowned so hard his eyebrows could have pinched a fly.

“You’ve always been perceptive, is there any way to salvage this situation?”

Assistant Lin glanced at him, “Are you referring to Miss Jian or the Li family?”

Wu Yue bumped him with his shoulder, “Stop beating around the bush, of course it’s the Li family!”

Jian Yao and Gu Zhiyan are already married.

Even if they couldn’t afford to offend Gu Zhiyan, even if they found someone they could offend, it’s still immoral to interfere in someone else’s marriage!

Assistant Lin pondered for a second, “There is, and there isn’t.”

There are ways, but Lu Zong wouldn’t want to.

Wu Yue’s eyes lit up, “Tell me.”

“Arranged marriage.”

Arranged marriage?

With whom?

“Jian Yao is already married… ” Before he finished, Wu Yue understood.

Assistant Lin meant to have Brother Lu find another “Jian Yao” to marry.

To be precise, to find a “rich woman.”

But how is that possible?

What other girl could put up with his temper?

Besides Jian Yao, who grew up with him, no other young lady could handle him.

Oh, no.

Jian Yao couldn’t take it anymore and ran away.

Wu Yue rubbed his forehead, “This method is unreliable, is there any other way?”

Brother Lu’s temper was not suited for this kind of work.

Just as Lin, the assistant, was about to shake his head, the phone rang.

Seeing the name ” Secrretary Wang of the Li family” on the screen, Lin took a deep breath and went to the secretary’s office to answer the call.

Wu Yue stood at the door for a while, seeing that Lu Chengze had no intention of opening the door for him, he turned and went downstairs.

Rather than waiting here, it was better to find a way to raise money.

Assistant Lin and Wu Yue were so busy that they forgot everything.

They only remembered Lu Chengze when they received a call from Gui Chun Lou.

“Hello, is this Vice President Wu? Mr. Lu is drunk here, please send someone to pick him up…”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yue rushed to Gui Chunlou.

They often had business dinners here, so they were familiar with the place.

The head waiter saw him come in and hurried over to guide him.

“He’s still inside. He made a deal with a few CEOs and started drinking. I went in to take a look just now, and there were already wine bottles scattered on the floor. If he keeps drinking, he’ll be in trouble.”

Wu Yue’s heart sank, and he quickened his pace.

As he reached the door, he heard the sarcastic taunts from inside through the crack: “Oh, Mr. Lu, you can’t hold your liquor?”

“We have a deal, you finish all this, and we’ll consider the loan…”

Wu Yue was furious and pushed open the door. He saw that Lu Chengze was already drunk, his eyes were glazed over, and his steps were unsteady.

At his feet, there were wine bottles scattered all over the floor, and there was still half a table of wine left.

If he finished all that, even an elephant would be drunk.

It was simply impossible for a human to finish it!

They were clearly deliberately playing with Brother Lu!

Wu Yue’s angry eyes swept over the faces of the CEOs, and his voice was filled with indignation, “We’ve been partners for years, are you really going to be so ruthless?”

As long as Lu Chengze was not removed from his position, he was still the president of Lu’s company. They were being so ruthless, weren’t they afraid of offending Lu’s?

The CEOs looked at each other, and a hint of mockery appeared in their eyes.

“What are you talking about, Vice President Wu? How can you have a business deal without drinking? If others can drink, why can’t Mr. Lu?”

“That’s right, you need to understand, you’re the ones who want to get a loan from our banks, not us begging you to take the money.”

In the past, Lu Chengze had relied on the Jian family and had a condescending attitude when he came to them for loans.

He acted like he was doing them a favor by cooperating with them. They had long been dissatisfied with him.

Now, he had lost Ms. Jian and was said to have offended the young master of the Gu family.

He was a dead fish that couldn’t turn over, so why not let them vent their anger beforehand?

Wu Yue was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn’t think of a rebuttal.

He snatched the wine glass from Lu Chengze’s hand and threw it on the ground.

The glass shattered upon impact, and the wine mixed with the broken glass shards splattered all over the floor.

Wu Yue supported the unconscious Lu Chengze and walked out, but he could still hear the mockery from behind.

“What’s he so arrogant for? Without the Jian family, with the Gu family against him, and Li’s watching, we’re not the only ones who don’t take him seriously. It’s uncertain whether Lu’s can even survive this crisis.”

“You don’t know this, right? It’s been circulating inside Lu’s that the old man wants to change the heir. After all, he was an illegitimate child…”

Wu Yue gritted his teeth, listening to the foul language coming from behind.

He was suddenly a little grateful that Lu Chengze was drunk and couldn’t hear these heart-wrenching words.

As soon as they stepped out of the door of Gui Chun Lou, Lu Chengze’s face suddenly changed, he broke free from Wu Yue’s hand and leaned against a tree to vomit.

Wu Yue was afraid that he would fall, so he hurried over, but he saw that the vomit contained large patches of red blood.
