BXBX NOVEL Chapter 341: The Cui Family Proposes a Marriage Alliance to the Lu Family
In the luxurious villa of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Mu hesitated over and over again but eventually decided not to send the message “Get some rest and don’t tire yourself out”. Instead, he deleted it letter by letter.
He couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
When did he become so hestitant?
Wasn’t he supposed to be adept at chasing after women?
How come he doesn’t even dare to show the most basic concern for Qiao Yin?
Just as he was thinking, the door to his study was pushed open.
His father Dongfang Yi walked in.
“It’s late, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
“I’m working, you think I don’t want to sleep?”
Dongfang Yi nodded. “Your work attitude has improved a lot recently. Since we secured the Siya Automobiles project, the Corporation’s evaluation of you has improved, but it’s still not enough. Everyone knows about your playboy reputation, and it’s tough for people to change their impressions of you. From now on, you’re not allowed to go to bars!”
“What era are we living in, what’s wrong with going to a bar?’
“Absolutely not! If I say you’re not allowed to go then you aren’t, look at the Lu Family’s sons. Neither of them have your bad habits. They’re focused on revitalizing their family’s business. And you? All you know is drinking and womanizing!”
“The Lu Family only has one son left now, and you still use them to suppress me. Isn’t that a bit much?”
Dongfang Yi paused for a moment, then sighed after a long silence. “Since Lu Mingzhen lost his eldest son, he’s aged considerably. His second son can’t compete with his eldest; he’s significantly lacking. The Lu Group isn’t happy with him as CEO, they want to overthrow him.”
“Mu, I don’t want you to take over the Corporation in the future and also be overthrown. Therefore, behave yourself, don’t get involved with all those tabloid gossips. Otherwise, these will all become your downfall.”
“Your grandfather thinks you’re not serious enough about your responsibilities, he even suggested letting your cousin take over. Can’t you just give me some peace of mind?”
Dongfang Mu didn’t take his words to heart. “Why do you all think Lu Lingche can’t compare to his elder brother? His brother isn’t even half as clever or capable as him. Lu Lingche is the real threat!”
“Lu Lingche isn’t as good as his elder brother. When Lu Shengqing was alive, the Shengling Group was always doing well, winning a lot of projects, and getting positive reviews. Now, he’s leading them to ruin!”
Dongfang Mu was somewhat speechless. “The success of Shengling Group when Lu Shengqing was alive was because Lu Lingche was supporting him from behind. Whatever troubles Shengqing couldn’t resolve, no matter how difficult they were, it was always Lu Lingche who resolved them.”
“You think Lu Shengqing, with his pig brains, not even capable of controlling that angelic bitch, could manage the Shengling Group? That’s all thanks to Lu Lingche’s merit!”
“And now, the problems arising in the Shengling Group are my merit! I’m the one who sabotaged Lu Lingche and the Shengling Group from behind!” “Besides, I even found a helper who has sabotaged the Shengling Group several times. Don’t think that Lu Lingche is easy to deal with, don’t downplay my achievements!”
“If it weren’t for me, the Shengling Group would be doing even better today! Don’t you understand how much effort I put in for the Corporation? Can’t you stop comparing me with the Lu Family’s sons? Now, I’m the one crushing them!”
Nevertheless, Dongfang Yi shook his head. “Stop blowing your own trumpet, thinking that by exaggerating Lu Lingche’s abilities, you can prove your own abilities. I’m telling you, you can’t!”
Dongfang Mu felt a fire rising inside, but there was no way to prove that Lu Lingche was indeed strong.
Because soon, Lu Lingche would stumble again. His father would probably think even less of his abilities.
He can’t give up the project just to prove Lu Lingche’s strength, can he?
“Forget it, I can’t reason with you. You should go to sleep, isn’t your head always hurting? Isn’t it hurting now?”
“I have headaches because I’m extremely irritated by your romour-filled news!”
Dongfang Yi wore a dismal look. “Because of your scandals, the Cui family doesn’t want to be in-laws with us anymore. They’re very likely to turn to the Lu Family!”
Turn to Lu Family for marriage?
Dongfang Mu finally laughed. “That’s fine, it’s not a bad idea.. Let’s have that deep-sea fish, Cui Shuqian, marry Lu Lingche and disgust him to death!”
