BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182 - 182: Deserved to Fall
Lu Lingche listened indifferently and didn’t defend himself.
The loss of the Siya project was indeed his fault, and there wasn’t much to say about it.
However, he still didn’t understand how Eastern Empire managed to win in the end.
Who was it that assisted Dongfang Mu behind the scenes?
His enemies were in the dark while he was in the light, putting him at a disadvantage.
He had to identify this person.
After a lengthy interrogation, the directors finally left.
In the conference room, only Lu Lingche and Lu Mingzhen remained.
Lu Mingzhen looked somber, his tone filled with disappointment: “Siya had been collaborating with our corporation, even the system was developed by your elder brother. Now, such a large project is lost because of you. You’re utterly hopeless!”
Lu Lingche lifted his head, his voice faint: “The system that elder brother developed for Siya was flawed to begin with, which is why there were so many accidents with Siya automobiles.”
Lu Mingzhen retorted angrily: “So what if there were accidents? Is it your elder brother’s fault? Which car hasn’t had accidents? Even if the system had problems, it doesn’t justify your loss of the Siya project! Regardless of whether there are accidents or not, you have to grab Siya back!”
“I will get Siya back. You don’t need to tell me.”
“Good, don’t disappoint me again.”
Having chastised him thoroughly last night, Lu Mingzhen didn’t want to berate his son again today, so as not to stress himself out.
He glanced at his mobile phone, which showed more than a dozen missed calls.
He reluctantly withdrew his gaze, more and more displeased with his youngest son: “There are so many women in this world, yet you chose to sleep with your elder brother’s woman. You deserved to be entangled with Lan Yuyi till now!”
On one hand, he thought Lan Yuyi was manipulative and of questionable character. Despite carrying his eldest son’s child, she concealed the truth and deceived his youngest son, claiming the child was his.
On the other hand, he thought his youngest son was hopelessly incompetent. He wasn’t even aware of his own paternity, let alone whether he had slept with Lan Yuyi. If he were to inherit the corporation, it would inevitably doom everyone. The Lu Family would also be ruined!
He wanted to tell his son the truth, but his anger persuaded him to let his son stumble.
Previously, he had thought his youngest son wouldn’t inherit the family business, so he hadn’t bothered to provide strict guidance. But now, he was his only son left. If he didn’t inherit the business, who would?
So, he had to let his son grow.
His son’s arrogance, who didn’t spare a thought even for his father and believed no one could outdo him, needed to be significantly reduced.
His mobile phone rang again, and this time, Lu Mingzhen answered: “The meeting just ended, I’ll head over now, why the hurry? What’s more important, a wedding or the corporation? It seems like you can’t even prioritize anymore!”
He shouted a few words into the phone, then hung up.
It wasn’t until they both sat in the car heading to the manor that he remembered something: “Did you pay Qiao Yin the one billion compensation?”
“No.”
Lu Mingzhen raised an eyebrow: “Why haven’t you given her the money?”
“My marriage to her wasn’t a transaction.”
“She agreed to sign the Divorce Agreement without receiving the money?”
“She didn’t sign the Divorce Agreement.”
“What did you say?!”
“We didn’t divorce.”
Lu Mingzhen was so shocked he almost stood up: “If you haven’t divorced Qiao Yin, then how did you arrange the wedding with Lan Yuyi? Have you lost your mind?”
Lu Lingche calmly replied, “I’m fine. It’s Lan Yuyi and my mother who are crazy. The wedding was their idea, and my refusal didn’t matter.”
Lu Mingzhen was at his wits’ end; he felt faint: “Call Qiao Yin right now! Have your assistant deliver the Divorce Agreement and tell her to sign immediately!”
