The entire place fell silent at Lu Zhao’s words.
Everyone had heard the recording, and they all knew what Lu Yao was up to. However, Lu He was trying to let this matter slide under the pretense of respect for the Patriarch’s birthday.
“Aunt, are you willing to let me go? So, it’s true that there’s an affair between the driver and Lu Yao?” Luo Ying said coldly.
Lu He was rendered speechless by the rebuttal of the two.
After all, if they were to investigate this matter in detail, they would definitely find out that Lu Yao had attempted to set Luo Ying up. However, if they did not work on this case, the private affair between Lu Yao and the driver would remain hanging in the air, open to speculation and conjecture. The cruel society would not hesitate to gossip about this for decades to come.
“Aunt, I think you should investigate this matter. What do you think, Grandpa?” Lu Zhao looked at Old Master Lu, his voice steady.
Old Master Lu did not sound pleased. “Lu Yao, you have misbehaved. From today onwards, you no longer have to work at the company anymore. No allowance for the next few months as well. Stay home and reflect on your mistakes.
Old Master Lu seemed to have passed decisive judgment, but he was just trying to keep the peace. Lu Yao was a sleeping boss within the company, so it made no difference.
As for the matters of the allowance and self-reflection, they mattered even less
Lu Yao’s reputation had indeed been ruined, but it did not matter to the Lu Family.
At the same time, this also meant that Luo Ying could no longer pursue the matter.
Lu Zhao remained silent for a moment. He stared coldly at Lu Yao. “I won’t be seeing you at work.”
Lu Yao nodded while trembling slightly. She was very afraid of this cousin of hers.
Although he was an illegitimate child, he was ruthless. No one in the Lu Family could compare to him.
The rumors she had heard also seemed to have been inaccurate. He seemed to care a lot about his wife. If she tried to harm her again, she would not be let off so lightly.
“Aunty, you have gained a lot from collaborating with my company. Perhaps it’s time to stop.” Lu Zhao looked at Lu He and said coldly.
Lu He’s husband indeed worked with the company.
However, he had also embezzled a lot of money by using his position, but this was almost an open secret.
If Lu Zhao decided to stop turning a blind eye, it was a simple matter.
“Lu Zhao, you!” Lu He shouted.
Lu Zhao had already walked out of the door with Luo Ying in his arms, ignoring Lu He’s loud screams behind him.
The crowd also made their way to the banquet hall.
Lu Zhao stroked Luo Ying’s hair. “Don’t worry, even if the old man doesn’t deal with Lu Yao, I have my own ways to deal with my aunt and uncle.”
Luo Ying nodded. “What did your grandfather say to you?”
She vaguely remembered that in the original novel, the old man didn’t seem to be very fond of Luo Ying. Today’s events had confirmed it. The old man had let Lu Yao go with barely a slap on the wrist.
“He didn’t say anything.” Lu Zhao subconsciously raised his chin.
It was his habitual twitch whenever he was frustrated.
If anyone opposed him and Luo Ying being together, he didn’t mind destroying the other party completely, even if they were his family.
Everyone sat down in the banquet hall, and the banquet officially began.
Lu Yu’s eyes were fixed on Luo Ying’s face.
Although Lu Zhao had always been ruthless, he had never taken revenge on anyone for personal reasons, much less threaten them publicly.
However, he had just dealt Lu He a blow in front of Luo Ying. It seemed that Luo Ying could not be underestimated.
Luo Ying had been able to charm Lu Zhao to an extent that none of them ever saw coming.
“I offended you just now. Please don’t take it to heart, Ms. Luo,” Hu Ya looked at Luo Ying and said.
Her seat was right next to Luo Ying’s, and she was enthusiastically pouring wine and serving food for Luo Ying.
The second son of the Lu Family also worked in the company. If Lu Zhao coughed, their family would probably be in trouble.
“Second Aunt, you don’t need to be so polite. After all, you never said anything out of line, right?” Luo Ying looked at Hu Ya with a smile.
Hu Ya couldn’t help but tremble.
Why was Lu Zhao’s wife as scary as Lu Zhao himself?
“That’s enough, Second Aunt. You can eat by yourself. I’ll take care of the food for my wife. Second Aunt, you just have to do your own thing,” Lu Zhao said.
