Chapter 350: If He Knew, He Wouldn’t Just Have This Attitude
Of course, Mr. Chu, Chu Zhengwei, knew Lu Cheng. In fact, he was the first in the Chu Family to approve of him.
Chu Zhengwei had come from a peasant background, fighting his way to his current position when he was younger. He was especially fond of Lu Cheng, who not only shared his rural origins but also possessed great capability and perseverance.
He even felt that if Chu Yunze hadn’t been born into the Chu Family, he might not have been a match for Lu Cheng.
Of course, Chu Zhengwei wasn’t his original name. After he became successful and famous, he felt his old name was too rustic and changed it to his current one.
Hardly anyone in the world was left who even knew his original name, let alone called him by it.
"Grandpa Chu, I’m sorry. Things have been rather busy lately, so..."
"Alright, I’m not blaming you. Besides, I’ve heard you’ve been doing a great job with your work recently. However, I also heard that new wife of yours has already come to B City?"
Just as expected of the Chu Family’s patriarch. While the others were still wondering how to broach the subject, Mr. Chu had asked about it directly with his very first sentence.
"Yes, she came with me today."
"Oh, she’s here? Then I’ll have to get a good look at her later. Lu Cheng, your choice of wife is normally your own business, and we shouldn’t interfere. But the situation now is unique, so please don’t hold it against us."
"Grandpa Chu, I understand. I believe in her, and I believe that you will all come to approve of her."
Lu Cheng’s faith in Shen Nian had never wavered. In fact, it had only deepened with each passing day since their marriage.
’It was just a matter of winning the Chu Family’s approval. He believed Shen Nian could definitely do it.’
"Oh? So confident! That just makes me even more curious."
"Grandpa, she’s right downstairs. If you want to see her, you can at any time."
Chu Yunze, who was also nearby, chimed in on Lu Cheng’s behalf.
"Since she’s already here, there’s no rush. We’ll see her eventually, one way or another. Deming, tell Lu Cheng what you know."
"Yes, Dad."
Chu Deming nodded at Mr. Chu and then looked at Lu Cheng. Hearing the old master’s words, Lu Cheng realized they had something important to tell him and turned his attention to Chu Deming.
"The Qin family has been making a lot of moves recently. While the main branch is holding back, wary of our Chu Family and the Gu family, the smaller families they support have been constantly stirring up trouble. The most prominent of these, and the one that concerns you the most, is the Meng Family."
"The Meng Family?"
Lu Cheng looked at Chu Deming and asked with a frown.
"Yes, the Meng Family. The Meng Family has a son named Meng Chengyu. He’s been in the south, but now they’re trying to get him transferred to your headquarters. With the Qin family pulling strings, his transfer shouldn’t be a big problem. When that happens, Lu Cheng, I’m afraid you’ll become their primary target because of your connection to our Chu Family."
"Meng Chengyu? He’s nothing to worry about."
’He recalled the Meng siblings he’d met before. That "young master" was nothing more than a spoiled heir coasting on his family’s influence. Someone like that wouldn’t last long acting so arrogantly in their organization.’
This was also because Lu Cheng didn’t yet know about Meng Chengyu’s intentions toward Shen Nian. If he had known, his attitude definitely wouldn’t have been so dismissive!
"Oh? It seems you know this Meng Chengyu?"
"I’ve met him once. He has a sister in our group’s entertainment department."
Lu Cheng was always aloof with women, but that didn’t mean he was completely clueless about these kinds of relationships. From the moment he chose to side with the Chu Family, Lu Cheng was destined to become familiar with such matters.
