I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 363 – I will take good care of Daddy! (2)

“Old Mr. Shen was not someone easy to get rid of. Why don’t you get some rest at home recently.” Lu Beichuan was, after all, worried. “Have others take care of matters at the office for the time being.”

Ye Zhen had a couple more bites of rice before she put down her chopsticks. “You can get out unaffected, right?”

“Of course.” Lu Beichuan smiled and handed her a bowl of soup. “Don’t worry. I will have it all taken care of.”

Ye Zhen didn’t need to know about everything. She only needed to be Mrs. Lu under the protective umbrella that he had set up for her. He would be able to take care of everything else.

There was a knock on the office door and his assistant walked inside after he had given him permission. He said to Lu Beichuan in a low voice, “Boss Lu, Old Mr. Shen would like to meet with you.”

Lu Beichuan looked the same as he did before. “Take him to the conference room.”

“Okay.”

Lu Beichuan, however, did not get up and leave right away. In fact, he continued to enjoy his lunch with Ye Zhen, unaffected.

“Aren’t you going to go?”

“After lunch.”

Ye Zhen raised her brows. That made sense.

Even when Old Master Lu was still around, Lu Beichuan had never been that respectful of Old Mr. Shen. Now that Old Mr. Shen had stormed into the board meeting and waved around the “evidence” against Lu Beichuan, everybody who was present knew what he was trying to pull. If he was going to expect special treatment simply because he was old, then there was definitely no reason to be respectful to him now.

It was half an hour later when they finished eating. Lu Beichuan finally slowly walked back toward the conference room.

Old Mr. Shen was not annoyed that he had to wait for half an hour. Quite the contrary, he patiently explained how it was all a big misunderstanding. “I didn’t believe you’d do such things either, but I had my men look into them multiple times just to be on the super cautious side. Who would have thought that I’d still be fooled by that Lu Shaoyan!”

Lu Beichuan didn’t show any emotions. As he gave Old Mr. Shen a smile, his expression was unfathomable.

“I admit. I was too rash in this matter. But your grandpa explicitly asked me to keep a close eye on the Lu Corporation before he passed away and that I shall not let any bad luck befall on it. So, you see, I can’t just sit by and watch the Lu Corporation when….”

Lu Beichuan smiled indifferently. “Thank you for all of your hard work, Old Mr. Shen. It must not have been an easy task.”

“Your grandfather poured his entire life into this company.” Old Mr. Shen lamented.

Old Mr. Shen sounded so righteous and matter-of-factly as though everything was truly nothing but a big misunderstanding.

Finally, when Old Mr. Shen was walking out of the conference room, he patted Lu Beichuan on his shoulder and said, “Your grandfather can truly rest in peace now. As for Shaoyan… you should watch out for him.”

He managed to completely sever all ties that linked him with Lu Shaoyan.

The butler inquired worriedly on their way back. Old Mr. Shen leaned against the back of the seat and sighed quietly.

“I am getting old after all, to be fooled by that Lu Shaoyan. Lu Beichuan is not a simple one either. Luckily, the incident did not blow up. I take it that Lu Beichuan wouldn’t make any big moves. His grandfather had just passed away. It would not look good to the outsiders if the two families have a fall out right now.”

The butler, as an outsider, really wanted to point out Lu Beichuan never cared about the Shen family. When Old Master Lu was still around, he could still hold Lu Beichuan back. Now that Old Master Lu had passed away, Lu Beichuan no longer needed to pay any attention to the friendship between his grandfather and Old Master Lu or feel that he needed to hold back for any reason.

Granted, he would never dare say those words directly to Old Mr. Shen.

His old master had been conceited his entire life and always made decisions single-handedly, taking no advice from anyone.

The butler sighed silently and said nothing else.
