Chapter 145: Visit Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The few of them ate a meal that wasn’t too awkward. He Youran couldn’t sit still anymore and wanted to go downstairs to digest her food. She got up and spoke to Lu Qinglan and Lu Qingzhuo. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Qinglan stopped her.

“Sister-in-law, let my brother accompany you.”

“No need…” He Youran rejected reflexively.

When she said she was going out to digest her food, she was trying to avoid the awkward atmosphere in the ward!

“You guys were the one who had an accident. I don’t feel at ease letting you go out alone,” Lu Qinglan said.

She was telling the truth.

Especially now that her brother was able to stand up, it was a huge blow to the people who were hiding in the dark and trying to harm the Lu family.

This time, He Nantian and Chen Meiyu were the ones who kidnapped Lu Shouxin and threatened He Youran. Who knew who the kidnappers would be next time. Besides, money could drive people crazy. The people hiding in the dark were much crueler than He Nantian and the others.

Just in case, it was better for someone to follow them when they went out in the future.

“Okay, I’ll accompany you,” Lu Qingzhuo said as he stood up.

He Youran also realized how serious the matter was, so she naturally didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, there were people from the Gu family in Rong citytoday, so the negotiation process wasn’t very harmonious.

No one could imagine what a person who was forced into a corner would do. It was better for her to stay in the ward.

He Youran sighed and sat down on the sofa. Just as she was about to speak to Lu Shouxin, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Lu Qingzhuo retracted his expression and returned to his usual cold demeanor.

“Master.” Pang Zhong received a reply and pushed the door open. “The Gu family’s lawyer is here again.”

“This soon?” Lu Qingzhuo frowned. “Invite him in.”

Pang Zhong immediately invited Zhao Wenting in.

After Zhao Wenting entered, he greeted everyone in the room one by one before explaining his intentions:

“Mr. Lu, our master has agreed to your proposal.”

“Oh?” Lu Qingzhuo was surprised.

Gu Tianming had agreed? The Gu family in Rong city would never set foot in the imperial capital again. Did Gu Tianming know what kind of choice he had made?

However, it was not difficult to understand. The Gu family only had one son, Gu Zimu. It was only natural that they valued him.

Just like the Lu family. Although the Lu family also had many males, they were not direct descendants after all. They could not be the person in charge of the Lu family.

“It would be best if master Gu agrees.” Lu Qingzhuo nodded in satisfaction.

If Gu Tianming agreed, it would be beneficial to both him and the Lu family.

The Gu family had grown rapidly in recent years. In the future, they would be a competitor that the Lu family could not underestimate. If they no longer stepped into the imperial capital, the Lu family would have one less enemy.

Moreover, Gu Zimu could no longer pester He Youran.

No matter how magnanimous he was, he could not tolerate a man thinking about how to harass his wife all day long.

Once he was in a good mood, Lu Qingzhuo’s expression softened a lot.

“Since we’ve agreed, I’ll naturally keep my promise and not pursue young master Gu’s matter anymore.”

With that, he asked Pang Zhong to draw up the contract.

No matter how good a promise he made, it was not as reliable as black and white words.

“Wait!” Zhao Wenting quickly said, “Mr. Lu, master Gu agreed to your request, but at the same time, he also made a condition!”

“Oh?” Lu Qingzhuo frowned and his face darkened again. “Lawyer Zhao, the Gu family was the one who made the mistake in the first place. I’m willing to compromise because I care about each other’s face. Yet, the Gu family is making requests. Isn’t that asking for an inch and asking for a mile?”

“Mr. Lu, please calm down!” Zhao Wenting said, “Our master is selfish, and his request is of no importance to you. I hope you can listen to it. After all, although the Gu family was in the wrong this time, the Gu family sincerely wants to solve the problem, and they have indeed given a lot of concessions…”

“What are Gu Tianming’s conditions?” Lu Qingzhuo didn’t want to waste time with him, so he asked directly.
