Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Warning
“I didn’t want to call you either!” Zhong Nianyao’s voice carried a hint of helplessness, “Sadly, your people have drawn my ire. I thought I should let you know, to avoid being accused of not giving you face.”
“My people?”
Though there was no change in his voice, Zhong Nianyao could still detect a faint hint of anger, “What exactly are you talking about? Who?”
Zhong Nianyao thought she must have heard wrong, and she still teased with a smile, “Who else could it be! It’s your mother! But she really is quite stingy, huh! I actually thought she’d give a huge check like in the TV dramas! I never expected that as the Old Madam Lu of the Lu Family, she’d be so petty.”
She was certain she had heard wrong; how could Lu Yichen be angry about sothing like this! Especially over a phone call; she must be too sensitive.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yichen chuckled, “Then you really have suffered a loss, do you need to compensate you with a blank check?”
“No!” Zhong Nianyao quickly objected, “I was just speaking hypothetically.”
When she said this, her tone suddenly turned serious, “Actually, I called you today just to give you a heads-up. I think today I’ve managed to really infuriate your mother. And, you had better keep an eye on her, next ti it won’t be so simple. If you really anger …well, you know the consequences. After all, you’ve truly seen what I’m capable of.”
“Feel free,” Lu Yichen’s voice was still indifferent, “Don’t do any favors; you do what you want to do!”
Hearing Lu Yichen’s response, Zhong Nianyao couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, “You’re quite open-minded, aren’t you!”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I called you today just to inform you about this. I have things to do! Hanging up now!”
With that said, she didn’t wait for any response from Lu Yichen and promptly hung up the phone.
The matter with Old Madam Lu had not affected Zhong Nianyao’s mood. So, she decided to continue her unfinished shopping spree.
On the other end of the phone, after hanging up, Lu Yichen said nothing, just sat there quietly. But the aura emanating from him was enough to make the people around him feel a low pressure, causing them to keep their distance.
At least Uncle Li, standing not far behind him, suddenly tensed up, finding even breathing sowhat difficult.
And at this mont, Lu Yichen was indeed in a very bad mood. Before, he had treated the incident with Ma Shishi as a re interlude, but who would have thought it would be so troubleso!
But—
Picking up the phone again, Lu Yichen dialed a number.
Almost the instant the call connected, the person on the other end answered quickly, “Yichen, why are you calling at this ti? Is there a problem?”
The person on the other end was none other than Old Master Lu. Clearly, he was very pleased to receive a call from Lu Yichen. However, if one listened closely, one could discern a hint of ingratiation and caution in Old Master Lu’s tone.
“Father.”
Though he addressed him this way, there was not a trace of respect in Lu Yichen’s tone, “Lately, has mother perhaps been a bit too idle? She’s been overreaching, and it’s starting to annoy .”
Upon hway,” Lu Yichen continued, “Father, you know my temperant very well. This ti, I can let it slide. But if there is a next ti, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
“Don’t worry, I will handle your mother.” Old Master Lu eagerly assured, then shifted the conversation, “Also, Yichen, you haven’t been ho for dinner in a long ti. When have you got ti, co back to the old house for a al!”
“I’ll see when I have ti.”
After dropping that line, Lu Yichen imdiately hung up the phone.
“Uncle Li!” Lu Yichen suddenly spoke up.
Uncle Li stepped forward and respectfully said, “Master.”
Lu Yichen leaned back on the sofa, appearing lazily comfortable, yet the chilling aura he radiated made one’s blood run cold, “Tell , Uncle Li, is my temper too good, making so undesirable people think they can encroach upon ?”
It was a simple question, but it made Uncle Li feel the danger.
Of course, this danger wasn’t aid at him.
He didn’t reply, just stood there quietly, waiting for Lu Yichen’s next words. Because he knew well that his master did not actually want an answer.
Sure enough, Lu Yichen went on, “Uncle Li, I seem to recall that the youngest son of the Wang Family is thirty years old now and quite a good match for Miss Ma Shishi, isn’t he?”
“Yes.” Uncle Li’s mind raced, and he quickly answered, “Miss Ma Shishi is twenty-five this year, indeed of marriageable age.”
He rembered Ma Shishi—the girl who had always been infatuated with the master.
Howevevolved in a car accident that disfigured her, and after receiving a large compensation, she left the Imperial Capital.
It was an open secret that Ma Shishi was involved.
Yet because of the power of the Ma Family, nobody dared to speak out. However, rumors still circulated on a small scale.
The master had previously not cared about these things, but now Ma Shishi seed to have provoked him.
Lu Yichen nodded, then added, “I recall that the youngest son of the Wang Family is thirty years old this year, which seems a good match for Ma Shishi!”
