Lu Yingxue also knew it was impossible for her reputation to return to the way it was before.
She could only salvage a little bit of the loss.
At least she could win the support of so people, as long as public opinion wasn’t completely one-sided. Then the Lu Family would still have a chance to turn things around.
Lu Bannong stared at her and sneered, "I also have a way to keep the Lu Family from disaster. Do you want to hear it? As long as I publicly sever ties with you, whatever you’ve done won’t implicate the Lu Family."
"Father, don’t forget, I am an illegitimate child. That fact cannot be changed, no matter how heartless you are, you can’t force a person into a corner."
Lu Yingxue cald down; right now she’s still threatening him.
As long as Lu Bannong severs ties with her, then she’d rather perish together.
Lu Bannong, with a hint of sarcasm, said, "Impressive."
"Thanks to your years of teaching."
The father and daughter were the sa at their core; if they beco ruthless, they’ll harm even their closest ones.
Lu Bannong, trying to suppress his anger, said, "What do you have in mind?"
"I’ve already spoken to Zhong Lingxiao; he’ll help sort it out. Just wait for the news..."
This ti, Lu Yingxue was extrely composed and didn’t reveal the plan.
"You’re relying on a man now, aren’t you?"
"Father, didn’t you rely on a woman back then?"
"Still daring to talk back to ?"
Lu Bannong covered his mouth and coughed a few tis, sounding exhausted.
Lu Yingxue, bearing the pain, slowly got up, "Father, the trouble is already made. What we should think about is how to solve it, how to minimize the loss. Not letting others see us father and daughter arguing here and becoming a laughingstock. Why let Xiang Mingzhu in?"
"She knows about what happened back then, Yutong let it slip."
Lu Yingxue looked down on Xiang Mingzhu from the bottom of her heart, "She can’t stir up any trouble."
Lu Bannong sat on the sofa, his breathing a bit weak, "Your reputation is very bad right now, so don’t go out casually these days. Wait a few days until things calm down a bit, then publicly apologize and resign. I can only take up the responsibilities of the president again; I can’t let this position fall into soone else’s hands."
"Do we need to stage so kind of ruse?"
"Isn’t the cane enough? I’ll let so insiders leak the news; too much publicity might backfire."
"Father is truly impeccable in his actions."
...
The comnts online were still fernting, and the trending topic was already getting out of hand.
Lu Yingxue’s reputation was in tatters.
The more people cursed, the more invigorated they beca.
In the car, Xiang Mingzhu looked at her phone screen and laughed out loud at the ssy comnts. The way she was insulted back then is exactly how Lu Yingxue is being insulted now.
It was truly satisfying!
Xiang Mingzhu clung to her phone, the resentnt in her heart slightly lessened.
She hadn’t even tidied her clothes and hair.
There were also marks on her body from Lu Yingxue’s scratching, with blood stains seeping through.
Lu Yutong looked at her hysterical appearance and tentatively said, "Mingzhu, I’ve brought you to the Lu Family as you requested. Your cousin has also gotten her couppance. Can we go abroad now?"
She was internally quite anxious.
She always felt that if they stayed in the Imperial Capital any longer, sothing big would happen, and she didn’t want her years of peace ruined overnight.
Xiang Mingzhu glanced at her disdainfully, "Go abroad? How could I possibly go abroad at a ti like this?"
She had to stay and watch the Lu Family et their end.
This was just the beginning.
She had sent her previous recordings to the Huo Family, and they hadn’t even exposed Lu Yingxue’s illegitimate identity yet, or the scandals the Lu Family committed over twenty years ago.
So, the good show was just starting.
Lu Yutong frowned, sowhat angry, "You promised before that you would."
"Oh, then I changed my mind. You can go abroad on your own without worrying about ; I’m staying in the Imperial Capital."
"You... Mingzhu, staying here is no good. If you want to know about the Lu Family, you can check online."
"But how could it compare to the fun of seeing Lu Yingxue’s misfortune with my own eyes?"
"Mingzhu, don’t be so stubborn! Living in hatred, you’ll never find happiness. Mingzhu, wake up!" Lu Yutong grabbed her hand, earnestly trying to persuade her.
But Xiang Mingzhu wouldn’t listen!
From the mont the Lu Family sent her to Zhao Chang, she had gone mad!
She used to be the eldest daughter of the Four Great Families, the Xiang Family, but ended up being possessed by a lowly, ugly man.
This hate would never be eradicated in her lifeti!
"Mingzhu..."
Xiang Mingzhu directly flung away her hand, "If you want to go, then go! Anyway, I don’t think of myself as your daughter. You’re not thinking that aging and having one less person to support made you rember , right? Otherwise, why did you abandon when I was a child?"
"How... how could you say sothing like that to hurt ? Why have you beco like this?"
"Isn’t it true? Scheming against your good friend Cheng Qingnian, colluding with the Lu Family. Lu Yutong, you’re rotten at the core. You don’t still hope that rotting bamboo will produce good shoots, do you?"
The sarcasm was too obvious on Xiang Mingzhu’s face, making Lu Yutong montarily stunned.
"You... Mingzhu, I didn’t an that. I had no choice but to abandon you before, it was your father..."
"Don’t talk to about your reasons; who doesn’t have their reasons! Weren’t you living quite the carefree life with the money abroad? Anyway, you go abroad if you want, I’m not going right now."
Xiang Mingzhu folded her arms, wearing an unbothered expression.
There was nothing anyone could do.
Lu Yutong was helpless and had to give up.
"Haha."
Xiang Mingzhu continued to browse her phone, looking at those fierce comnts. Every now and then, she would add fuel to the fire by exposing Lu Yingxue’s past as a hypocrite from the perspective of soone in the know.
Should she reveal the news about Lu Yingxue being an illegitimate child to the He Family? The He Family would surely be furious.
All these years, while the He Family wasn’t prominent in the Imperial Capital, they had paved many roads for Lu Bannong, solving quite a few troubles.
If they knew Lu Yingxue wasn’t their daughter by blood, wouldn’t it be an uproar?
Xiang Mingzhu’s eyes turned, and she laughed happily.
Let’s wait a bit longer!
Maybe the Huo Family has even more brilliant tactics.
This ti, the Lu Family is destined to be finished!
Judging by Lu Bannong and Lu Yingxue’s deanor earlier, it seed they still had so cards to play.
Then show those cards.
Only then could the Huo Family wear down the Lu Family.
Xiang Mingzhu laughed a few more tis, her laughter exaggerated and her expression sowhat twisted.
...
anwhile, at the Imperial Capital Hospital.
Outside the high-level intensive care unit.
Zhong Lingxiao stood in the corridor looking displeased, while Zhong Hongfei was full of anxiety.
"Lingxiao, do you think the old man will make it? The doctor said he needs to be monitored and hasn’t gotten out of critical condition." Zhong Hongfei paced back and forth, agitated.
He truly couldn’t calm down.
Zhong Lingxiao glanced through the glass window at the old man inside, with his hair gray and face ashen, and said, "He won’t make it."
Even if he could pull through, he must die.
"Are you crazy?"
"Isn’t this what Father thinks?"
Zhong Hongfei quickly grabbed him, nervous to the extre, "Keep your voice down! How dare you say such things! Be cautious, the walls have ears!"
Zhong Lingxiao sneered and glanced toward the elevator at the end of the corridor shrouded in backlight, "Look, the ears are here."
