Chapter 296: Reaping What You Sow
“Father?” Tang Jie’er turned on the light and walked towards the sofa.
Tang Hong’s eyes were uncomfortable due to the sudden brightness, and he frowned.
Tang Jie’er stood beside her father and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Father? You’ve been too busy lately, are you feeling unwell?”
Tang Hong’s expression remained gloomy. He slowly shook his head and said, “This afternoon, Ziyi’s father… came over…”
“Lu Xuanyu… came to see you?” Tang Jie’er knew Lu Xuanyu’s identity. He was the Chief Consultant for Maoshen Group’s Chairman Ye Baiyu, and according to her father, he was an important figure in a mysterious family of strategists.
However, what Tang Jie’er thought of was that Lu Xuanyu’s visit was to discuss with her father the matter of Lu Ziyi accidentally drinking the red wine that Cui Haohang had poured for Ye Chuxiao last night.
But after Lu Ziyi drank the wine, he left with Ye Chuxiao. If the drug took effect, he could have vented on Ye Chuxiao. Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao were already engaged, and it wasn’t the first time. If he slept with his fiancée, he wouldn’t need to tell his father about such a thing, right?
Tang Jie’er felt uneasy, after all, she had done something disgraceful. However, she could easily shift the blame to Cui Haohang. Given Cui Haohang’s character, one more incident wouldn’t matter. Even if the Cui family’s Crown Prince didn’t get what he wanted last night, he would have ways to settle it!
Tang Jie’er held her breath and asked tentatively, “Father, what did Lu Xuanyu talk to you about? Was it… about work?”
“Yes and no,” Tang Hong said slowly. “Lu Xuanyu told me that Ziyi and Xiaoxiao were not feeling well last night, that it was related to my daughter, and also related to the Tang Group’s relocation project. Lu Xuanyu suggested that the Tang Group relocate outside of Y City!”
“What?” Tang Jie’er was shocked. “Just because of what happened last night, Lu Xuanyu wants our Tang Group to leave Y City? Lu Xuanyu… who does he think he is?”
Tang Hong sighed deeply and said, “Jie’er, you don’t understand the power of the Lu family. The Lu family is a family of strategists, and their high intelligence is beyond ordinary people’s comprehension!
“The Lu family has a deep historical foundation. For reasons unknown to outsiders, the Lu family has ancestral teachings: their descendants shall not hold official positions or engage in business. However, due to their vast knowledge and wisdom, they have become strategists highly sought after by high-ranking officials and business magnates.
“Although the descendants of the Lu family are exceptionally talented and possess great wealth, they live very low-key lives, and outsiders perceive them as ordinary people.
“The Lu family also has a mysterious kinship with Feng Shui Masters, reaching a new peak especially with Lu Xuanyu. Unfortunately, due to ancestral teachings, the Lu family does not serve two masters, and Lu Xuanyu has only chosen Ye Baiyu and the Ye family.
“Lu Xuanyu has only one son, Lu Ziyi, and he has taught his son all his skills. Jie’er, this is why I made every effort to invite Lu Ziyi to be the Chief Consultant for the Tang Group’s relocation project.
“Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Instead, it damaged the Earth Vein of my Tang family, and the fortune of the Tang family was also ruined!”
Tang Jie’er understood even less. What strategists, what Feng Shui? She only saw her father’s dejected appearance and felt resentful. “Lu Xuanyu ruined our Tang family’s Earth Vein and fortune?”
“Jie’er,” Tang Hong looked up at his daughter and said slowly, “Before Lu Xuanyu could even make a move, you had already ruined our Tang family’s Earth Vein and fortune! Because Cui’s Construction did not follow Lu Ziyi’s construction drawings during the relocation, it damaged the Earth Vein, and the fortune scattered!”
