Chapter 271: Lu Family’s Banquet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yet, while some rejoiced, others were in mourning. Luo Ying happily received the award, while Lin Jin gripped the knife and fork in her hand tightly.

The Lu family also had a banquet that night, but they held it in the old residence. The entire family showed up, and Lu Zhao’s “fiancée,” Lin Jin, was also invited.

It was her assumption that Old Master Lu had pushed her toward a marriage to Lu Zhao.

Lin Jin knew she had no choice but to postpone the wedding due to Lu Zhao’s pressure, but she secretly wished Old Master Lu would exert even more pressure. Everything would shift once they tied the knot.

However, before they entered the old residence, Lu Zhao poured a basin of ice water on Lin Jin.

“Delay the marriage for another two months,” Lu Zhao ordered Lin Jin coldly.

Almost a meter separated Lin Jin and Lu Zhao. Since finding the cure, Lu Zhao has never again been out of control. On the other hand, she was also isolated far away. She wasn’t allowed to set foot in his office building.

Lin Jin was afraid that Lu Zhao would lose patience and turn on the Lin Group, so she had been very careful during this period of time.

“Alright… Do you need a little longer?” Lin Jin could only probe him with caution.

Lu Zhao glanced at her. “Two months is enough.”

Lin Jin’s heart sank. Two months was enough.

This meant that Lu Zhao only needed her to be his fiancée in name for two more months. He was already fully confident that he could control the entire Lu Family in two months and oust Old Master Lu from power.

This was a good thing for Lin Jin. Lu Zhao promised to return Lin Group to her after the matter was settled. However, that was also the worst part. She only had two months to win Lu Zhao over.

After Lu Zhao assumed full control, she would be forcibly banished. Lin Jin anxiously chewed the tip of her finger. She needed to figure out a strategy.

Lu Zhao and Lin Jin walked into the hall. Everyone could see something was off between them, but no one spoke up. The Lu Zhao of today was no longer the Lu Zhao of the past. In the Lu household, he carried even more weight than ever.

When Old Master Lu clinked his glass, the Lu family feast had officially begun. The younger generation and extended family members did their best to liven up the dinner table, but the few people seated at the head of the table remained silent, as if they were waiting for something.

Lin Jin had no idea what was wrong, but she felt uneasy.

Although Old Master Lu was unaware of the nature of the deal struck between Lu Wen and Lu Zhao, he did know that Lu Wen’s company had been defeated and that Lu Zhao was on the verge of claiming the throne.

“Grandpa.” Lu Wen spoke. Even though his voice was not particularly loud, everyone at the table became eerily silent.

“You had previously mentioned picking an heir from among Lu Zhao and me.” Lu Wen’s tone was flat as he said calmly, “After this period of tempering, I don’t think I’m up to this role.”

Lu Zhao ignored everyone around him as he cut the steak. He could care less about the opinions of others. They had no other option but to accept it.

The only thing that piqued his interest was the phone in his pocket.

“Is that so?” The venerable voice of Old Master Lu resounded, and he exuded evident joy as he said, “It appears that Lu Zhao will be able to become the leader of our Lu Family’s next generation.”

“It’s all up to you, Grandpa,” Lu Zhao said with equal composure.

His attention was diverted toward his phone. He opened the screen and saw the message. His assigned underling was in touch with him to update him on Luo Ying’s predicament at the film festival.

Even though Lu Zhao’s phone was protected by an anti-peep film, Lin Jin was able to see the screen from where she was sitting next to him. Even during this tense moment at the family banquet, Lu Zhao was studying a photo of Luo Ying on the red carpet.

Lin Jin gripped the knife and fork in her hand tightly. “Could it be that he valued Luo Ying more than the Lu throne?”

Lin Jin’s envy and animosity were on the verge of bursting through. Why? Why couldn’t she be the person Lu Zhao loved so much?

Old Master Lu glanced at Lin Jin and continued, “I’m already old. I think it’s time to hand the Lu family over to the next generation.” 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝘦𝑤𝑒𝑏𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝘮

‘ However,” Old Master Lu changed his tone and added, “A man has to start a family first before he can start a career. You do realize that you and Miss Lin should get married quickly, right?”

Lu Zhao remained silent.

“Of course! The sooner, the better! Only I am worthy of Lu Zhao!” Lin Jin shouted in her heart.

However, she could not say her true thoughts. The Lin Group was still in Lu

Zhao’s hands. The sober Lu Zhao was not someone she could afford to provoke. The torture of the past six months had made Lin Jin remember this lesson deeply..
