Sedvan hugged Lu Xu Qian, ”You are enough, you don't need a lot of men.”

Lu Xu Qian said no more, just extending his hand to pat her back. The two of them sat in the yard and actually quietened down for a moment.

Lu Xunqian had wanted to find some topic of conversation to continue their conversation, but he had not expected to hear a call from the door.

”Who?” Upon hearing the other party's name, Lu Xu Qian was actually unable to react in time.

”That man said he was a director and that he would meet with him if he heard.”

Lu Xu Qian was surprised. The director actually dared to take the initiative to look for him?

However, thinking back to what Chu Xinxia had said before, he could guess a few things.

Rather than passively waiting to be discovered, he might as well take the initiative and deliver himself to the door. This way, he might be able to seize the initiative.

”Fine, let him in.”

Lu Xu modestly told Sai Tiewan to return to his room, while he himself sat on the hammock in the courtyard, waiting for the directors to arrive.

In a few minutes, the director came in from outside.

”I didn't expect to see you again.” Lu Xu smiled.

The director also shook hands with Lu Xunqian with a fitting smile, ”Same here.”

”The last time we met, you still wanted to make a move against the Lu family. At that time, did you set your sights on Yin Lan? ” Lu Xu modestly offered a seat, allowing the director to sit on a round stool at the side.

The board member did not feel the slightest bit of politeness and immediately sat down, ”I found the wrong chess piece at that time, I didn't expect it to be so lacking just like that.”

Lu Xunqian wanted to laugh. Was this a question of being one-step short of the mark?

”I didn't expect you to come again.”

The director nodded, ”What a pity about the matter with Miss Xi.”

It was unknown if he was speaking of his regret over not toppling Lu Xu Qian, or if he was truly regretting over Xi Chen's matter. However, Lu Xu Qian nodded and did not ask in detail.

”May I ask, why did Mr. Dong come this time?”

The board member glanced at Lu Xunqian, his gaze filled with pity and ridicule, ”This time, I've really come purely to pay you a visit.”

”Hmm?” Lu Xunqian did not want to believe that he had such good intentions.

”After all, Xin Xia and I almost got married before, and now that you've taken over, we can be considered to have continued the marriage.” The director gave a half-smile.

Lu Xu harrumphed, ”I didn't expect this to be a type of 'relationship'.”

”Naturally.”

Lu Xu Qian really wanted to take off the director's brain to see what exactly was in it.

Did he think that using such a tone would anger him?

Yet, the director seemed to have really come to visit, speaking a few words to Lu Xunqian before saying that he was leaving.

Lu Xunqian was truly baffled by him. Was he just passing by the Lu Family and coming in to show off?

It was obvious that the board of directors did not intend to answer Lu Xunqian's question. He smiled, got up and left.

At night, Master Lu returned with an unpleasant expression.

”Grandfather, what's wrong?” Lu Xu Qian had not seen the old man's expression for a long time, so he asked worriedly the moment he entered the study room.

”It's fine, go call your aunt.”

Lu Xudong went to the backyard and called Lu Huan over.

Lu Huan was supposed to live in the front yard, but because she liked peace and quiet, coupled with her current identity being quite sensitive, she didn't really fit in with guests, so she stayed in the back yard.

Lu Xu Qian calling her over actually surprised her quite a bit. Usually, the old man would speak to him alone. Why would he be together with Lu Xunqian today?

The two of them arrived at the study room at the same time. When they saw the heavy expression on Master Lu's face, they subconsciously held their breath.

”I called you over because I have something to discuss with you. Sit down first.”

”Yes.”
