Chapter 521 Meeting the Leader (2)
If Mr. Lu was still somewhat satisfied after hearing the first half of the sentence, then the second half made him completely cold and harsh.
Damn Mu Qiancheng, in the end, he still looks down on his daughter. How dare he say that his daughter is clinging to him, it’s simply outrageous.
Who does he think he is? His daughter taking a fancy to Mu Qiancheng, a poor boy from the countryside, is his blessing. Not only does he not know how to be grateful, but he doesn’t even try to flatter and thinks little of his daughter. It’s simply infuriating.
Mr. Lu was furious, and Lu Ling was equally incensed. She could no longer hold back and pointed at Mu Qiancheng, saying, "Mu Qiancheng, who do you think you are to look down on me? Let me tell you, there are enough people pursuing me to fill a battalion, if not a company. You’re just a poor boy. Me taking interest in you is your good fortune, understand?"
"Thank you, Miss Lu, but please spare me. I don’t need such good fortune," Mu Qiancheng said indifferently, gently brushing Lu Ling’s finger away from his nose.
Such a woman as Lu Ling, he wouldn’t want her even if she were given to him for free, let alone marry her. Dream on!
Besides, in his eyes, no woman in the world could compare to his young wife. She was the white moonlight and the red mole in his heart, irreplaceable by anyone.
"You?" Lu Ling was so angry she couldn’t speak. She turned to look at Lu and said, "Dad, this boy is ungrateful. You should teach him a lesson for me."
"Ling’er!" Although Mr. Lu was angry, he knew where they were and understood his identity. So he quickly calmed down and scolded Lu Ling.
Lu Ling looked aggrieved, staring at her father.
Seeing his daughter like this, Mr. Lu felt sorry for her. He also wanted to teach Mu Qiancheng a lesson, but not now. He would have plenty of time and opportunities to deal with him later; for now, he had other important matters to discuss with Mu Qiancheng.
So, Mr. Lu quickly changed his expression and said, "Since you have no intention towards my daughter, let’s leave it at that. I actually have another matter to discuss with you today."
"Please go ahead, Mr. Lu," Mu Qiancheng said calmly. He quite appreciated Mr. Lu’s ability to adapt. No wonder he was in a leadership position; indeed, it was intimidating. Fortunately, he now had a strong backing, otherwise, he couldn’t confront the other side so directly.
"Here’s the situation — the police came to find Lu Ling today, saying she was involved in scheming against your wife. I’ve looked into it, and it’s a made-up story. Moreover, your wife hasn’t suffered any harm."
"So my suggestion is to drop it. Lu Ling was misled by others. Therefore, I’d appreciate it if you could inform the police not to pursue Lu Ling’s responsibility anymore."
"Mr. Lu, are you ordering me or requesting me?" Mu Qiancheng’s expression darkened. This Mr. Lu clearly had it all planned out. If he spoke up, the police would undoubtedly stop bothering Lu Ling.
But why should he relent? Mr. Lu’s involvement in scheming against his young wife was a fact, and even if she was just an accomplice, she couldn’t escape responsibility, could she?
"What do you mean by ordering, and what do you mean by requesting?" Mr. Lu’s face turned ugly again. This Mu Qiancheng was too unaware of the situation.
Doesn’t he understand at all that his future is in my hands? With just one word from me, Mu Qiancheng could lose his job.
