Chapter 172: Acting and Conspiracy
In the palatial villa area, the lights are bright, and teams of energetic security guards are constantly patrolling the perimeter of the villa.
In the main hall of the villa, they were all sitting upright, not even daring to breathe, so quiet that they could hear a needle falling on the ground.
Lu Yongxiang, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the silent look around him, and then looked at Lu Shaoyu's relaxed demeanor, and chuckled.
"Everyone relax, it's all a family, don't be so nervous."
He patted the table lightly and said.
Hearing this, the elders in the hall and Lu Shaoan all smiled, their expressions and bodies relaxed, but the nerves in their hearts were still tense.
Lu Yongxiang looked around at the people around him, and finally stopped his gaze on Lu Shaoyu and did not look away for a long time.
Feeling that he was being stared at, Lu Shaoyu followed his gaze unhurriedly and looked directly at his father.
The staring at each other lasted less than a second, but it seemed like a century had passed.
Lu Yongxiang smiled, took the lead in looking away, cleared his throat and said, "I think everyone knows what this time is for, right?" ”
"Of course, this time it's for Shaoying's engagement with the Deng family." A middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure and a somewhat similar appearance to Lu Yongxiang said in a loud voice.
Lu Shaoyu is very familiar with this middle-aged man, because he is Lu Yongxiang's younger brother Lu Yongli, that is, Lu Shaoyu's second uncle.
"Cut!"
Hearing his words, Lu Shaoyu looked disdainful.
"That's right, Yongli, you're right. This engagement between Shaoying and the second young master of the Deng family is the first step in the business alliance between our Lu family and the Deng family, and we must do it properly, and we must not make any mistakes. Lu Yongxiang nodded and said solemnly.
"Of course, but I have recently heard a little bad news about Shaoying, and I am afraid that if it reaches the ears of the Deng family, it will affect the next engagement ceremony." A middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and fancy clothes said with a worried face.
This young woman is Lu Yongli's wife and Lu Shaoyu's second aunt.
"Oh? What is the bad news? Lu Yongli asked eagerly.
Lu Shaoyu sat on the side and watched the two couples singing and acting in harmony, plus a group of people as the audience, there was no fluctuation in his heart, but he still wanted to laugh.
"This..." The second aunt looked at Lu Shaoyu, and was speechless for a long time with a look of hesitation and embarrassment.
"Eh! You should hurry up and say it, this matter is not trivial, if the marriage between Shaoying and the second young master of the Deng family collapses because of this so-called rumor, resulting in the failure of the business alliance between our Lu family and the Deng family, can you afford it? Lu Yongli reproached loudly.
"That's right, brother and sister, you can say anything about it, don't have any worries, say it to the big guys, and there is a solution." Lu Yongxiang said with a smile.
"That... Then I'll say it. ”
"Big brother, you also know that I like to play mahjong, this news is when I was playing mahjong I heard a mahjong friend of mine say that her daughter and our Shaoying are in the same class, she said that her daughter saw our Shaoying in school and a man is very close, and the relationship between the two is very good, and said that they have developed a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, you said that if such news reaches the ears of the Deng family, then this marriage can still be engaged." The second aunt said with a smile on her face.
"It's very good with a guy, and it has developed into a boyfriend and girlfriend?!"
"Is this news true?!" Lu Yongxiang's eyes were angry, and he questioned everyone.
Although he questioned everyone, Lu Shaoyu knew that he was just questioning himself, but even if he understood, it didn't mean that he had to respond, so he scratched his head and didn't give the slightest reaction.
Seeing that Lu Shaoyu didn't react, Lu Shaoan suddenly became anxious, he didn't expect that Lu Shaoyu, who had always loved his sister, would be able to hold back and refute silently, but although Lu Shaoyu's reaction was a bit unexpected to him, he didn't just have this trick, but also had a backhand.
Since Lu Shaoyu didn't say anything, let Lu Shaoan directly testify.
"Father, it's Shao'an's fault, please punish your father." Lu Shaoan stood up with a 'swoop' and automatically asked for punishment.
"Huh? What's going on? You make it clear to me. Lu Yongxiang looked at him and asked.
"Father, in fact, I knew about the third sister having a boyfriend at school for a long time, but the third sister and the second brother have been begging me before, begging me not to tell you, they said that they would solve the matter personally. I was concerned about the affection of my brother and sister, so I agreed to help them keep the secret and let them settle the matter. But I didn't expect that when I happened to pass by the third sister school today, I found that they not only hadn't broken up, but they were also openly hugging and hugging on the street, and then I knew that my eldest brother was deceived by them, and it was useless for me to be a big brother, and I couldn't discipline my younger siblings well, everything was my fault, and I asked my father to punish him. ”
As he spoke, he took out a large stack of photos and handed them to Lu Yongxiang, and then blamed himself deeply.
Although it was just a glimpse, Lu Shaoyu could still clearly see the content of those photos, which turned out to be the photos of his sister Shaoying hugging the tall and thin man at the school gate in the afternoon, and not only that, there were also a few photos that were obviously taken before, all of them were hugging or eating.
"Even the photos are ready, it was really premeditated," Lu Shaoyu sneered.
His gaze at Lu Shaoan became even colder.
You can do it, but since you dragged my sister into the water, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood.
Lu Shaoyu's last bit of mercy for his so-called eldest brother in his heart has been cut off.
If Lu Shaoan was an annoying relative in Lu Shaoyu's heart before, then now he is a complete stranger.
"Bastard!"
Just when Lu Shaoyu cut off the last form of family affection with his eldest brother in his heart, Lu Yongxiang, who had been sad and joyful, suddenly slapped the table heavily and became furious.
"Why did you just tell me about such a big thing now, how long did you want to hide it from me, do you think you can hide it?!" Lu Yongxiang asked sharply.
"Shaoyu, you let me say what is good about you, as the boss, not only did you not discipline your younger siblings well, but also helped them hide this kind of thing. Do you know what a big blow it will be to our Lu family's cooperation plan with the Deng family if this matter is exposed or maliciously hyped, and even the stock of our Lu family may have a plug-in fall. Lu Yongxiang continued to ask Lu Shaoan.
