Chapter 419: Just Lose Money to Avoid Disaster
Tao Lan looked at Lu Yunfan's dead look, her face flushed with anger. "Great, you've grown so powerful now that you dare to turn your back on me. If it weren't for me, it's doubtful whether you could sit in this position. How dare you throw a tantrum at me..."
"Mom!" Lu Yunfan interrupted her abruptly, his deep red eyes staring at her: "Mom, you know me. I hate being threatened."
"My father used to put pressure on me, belittle me, suppress me, and make me obey him. Now that I have thrown off this mountain, you want to put pressure on me again?"
Tao Lan's expression froze.
Lu Yunfan continued, "It was our family that wronged Shen Lan first. I won't force you to change your attitude towards her, but you knew I liked her, yet you still belittled my sweetheart in front of me. Isn't that too much?"
"Mom, I remember everything you've done for me, but if you keep threatening me with this, I'd rather not take this position."
He sat down, looking nonchalant: "The reason I fought for this was because I wanted the right to speak, but if I can't even decide my own affairs, what's the point of doing all this?"
"But……"
Tao Lan had just said two words when Lu Yunfan interrupted her again.
"Do you think my succession to the Lu family was smooth sailing?"
Tao Lan said as if it was a matter of course: "Isn't it? You currently hold the most shares among all shareholders."
"Mom, you're too naive." Lu Yunfan shook his head and recounted his own difficult experiences. "How could those old foxes submit so easily? If I hadn't decisively given up my personal property to reverse our online reputation and show them my determination and methods, we might still be arguing right now."
"You should be thankful that Shen Lan is willing to accept my things. If she had refused, I don't know how things would have ended."
Tao Lan opened her mouth. Shen Lan took so much from the Lu family, and she still had to thank her? This was ridiculous!
But when asked to refute, she couldn't say anything.
Seeing the unquestionable look in Lu Yunfan's eyes, Tao Lan finally gave in: "Forget it, forget it, I don't want the money."
Anyway, nothing good happens every time I run into Shen Lan, so just think of it as spending money to avoid disaster and spend money to ensure safety.
The two of them were almost done talking when the secretary came in and reminded Lu Yunfan, "Mr. Lu, you haven't eaten all day. You can't take it if you continue like this."
When Tao Lan heard this, she felt sorry for her son: "Yunfan, you haven't eaten all day? How can this be possible?"
She raised her hand to check the time: "Dinner should be ready at home by now, let's go back..."
"Mom, you go back first. I still have some things to deal with at the company. I'll go back later." After Lu Yunfan said this, he directly instructed his secretary to help him order dinner.
Tao Lan frowned, and suddenly saw the shadow of Lu Chuan in him. The same strong attitude was exactly the same.
She shook her head, shaking the thought away.
Yunfan is different from Lu Chuan. Yunfan is more humane.
When Tao Lan returned home, she saw Zhou Xinran coming towards her.
Zhou Xinran looked behind her and didn't see Lu Yunfan, and her eyes were immediately filled with disappointment.
Seeing this, Tao Lan explained: "Yun Fan has just taken over the company and has a lot of things to do, so he will be back later."
Zhou Xinran's brows furrowed even deeper: "Auntie, how is Uncle Lu? Is he okay?"
It would be very disadvantageous for her if Lu Yunfan were in power. He didn't like her and didn't like the baby in her belly, so there would be a lot of changes in the future.
Tao Lan's eyes flickered slightly: "He has been rescued and is not in danger of death, but he will have to rest from now on."
Zhou Xinran's fingers trembled and his face turned pale instantly.
The worst happened.
"Hey, Zhou Xinran, why do you have that 'wishful thinking has been shattered' expression on your face? You look so pitiful."
Lu Yunqing's voice sounded, his tone sarcastic.
Zhou Xinran calmed down instantly and sighed: "Yun Qing, please don't always pick on me, okay? I'm just worried about Uncle Lu, what are you thinking about?"
"I hope I'm overthinking it." Lu Yunqing shrugged and turned around to go back to his room.
"Stop!" Tao Lan called out to her coldly, "Lu Yunqing, why did you have someone stop Xinran from leaving the house this afternoon?"
Lu Yunqing clenched his hands and looked at her with a nonchalant smile: "Mom, she's pregnant with my brother's child. What if she runs out in such a hurry? What if something happens? I'm doing this for her own good."
"Guess whether I believe your lies or not. Why are you pretending in front of me?" Tao Lan exposed her mercilessly, her eyes filled with anger, disappointment, and a hint of sadness. "Now you have learned to team up with your brother to deceive me."
Hearing this, Lu Yunqing touched his cheek and chuckled, "Mom, it's not just me and my brother who have changed. You used to be reluctant to touch me, but now you slap me whenever you want."
After she finished speaking, she exposed her face to Tao Lan.
Lu Yunqing had sensitive skin, and the slap marks hadn't faded away yet. His entire face was blue and purple, and he looked horrible.
Tao Lan's eyes trembled. She couldn't believe that she had hit him. She had hit him so hard before?!
"Have you ever cared about the injury on my face since you came home? You only blame me. My brother is the only one in this family who cares about me. If I don't help him, who else will I help?"
After Lu Yunqing yelled this angrily, he turned and ran away without giving Tao Lan a chance to defend herself.
Tao Lan held her forehead, feeling more tired than ever before.
He glanced at Zhou Xinran who was standing there, and thought of the promises he had made to her. He decided that he had to comfort her, so as to prevent her from getting upset over some property and affecting her precious grandson.
"Xinran, please move out of the guest room later. I will arrange a new bedroom for you."
