Yu Zichen walked out from the shadows. Those three simple words represented his resolve.
Lin Weizong, who had just stepped forward, fell back a step, but still stood behind Luo Yinan.
Yan Cheng said gloomily, “Has Young Master Zichen’s family agreed to it?”
Everyone could see the displeasure on the faces of the Yu family members.
Yu Zichen’s warm smile didn’t waver as he said, “I personally support Third Young Miss Luo. Isn’t that enough?”
Indeed, Yu Zichen wasn’t just talking big. Everyone knew that Yu Zichen had started his own business a long time ago, and it had flourished beyond what the Yu family had.
Luo Fusheng stood up when he saw that the situation was getting out of hand. He suppressed his anger and said heatedly in her ear, “Luo Yinan, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you. You better cooperate with me today, otherwise… there will be no way to preserve your mother’s grave.”
Luo Yinan’s face instantly turned cold as she looked at the man in front of her. Anger roiled in her, before it turned into a light chuckle.
She said, “I will naturally cooperate with Dad.”
Could he really accept being called Dad?
To outsiders, the exchange just looked like a conversation between father and daughter.
Luo Fusheng no longer mentioned the awkwardness from before, and said, “Thank you all for coming today. Please forgive me if there was anything wrong with our hospitality.”
With that, he pulled Luo Yinan off the stage.
After giving her a cold warning, Luo Fusheng picked up a glass of wine and walked over to a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit.
“Secretary Xu, please help us with the South City plan.”
This person, who had always given the Luo family the green light, had been putting it off this time. This was also why Luo Fusheng had urgently gotten Luo Yinan to come back.
Compared with Luo Fusheng’s careful flattery, Luo Yinan said casually, “Uncle Xu, long time no see.”
Xu Mingwei’s eyes flashed with nostalgia as he patted her shoulder. “You’re really becoming more and more like your mother.”
Luo Yinan smiled as well. “I still have to thank Uncle Xu for what happened nine years ago.”
After her mother died, she felt that there had been something fishy about it and had asked him to help look into it. In the end, they hadn’t found anything.
This sentence was to remind him that she had not forgotten all these things, and that she still harbored suspicions.
Xu Mingwei was stunned. His eyes were filled with understanding as he said, “Xiao Nan, let bygones be bygones.”
Luo Yinan lowered her eyes. His reaction was within her expectations.
Unresigned, Luo Fusheng interrupted them. “Secretary Xu, what do you think about South City?”
He had asked to meet the man several times and had been unable to; he absolutely had to seize this opportunity.
Xu Mingwei looked at Luo Yinan’s expression, then sighed and outright left without giving Luo Fusheng any face at all.
Luo Fusheng’s expression turned ugly. “Why did you mention your mother for no reason?!”
“Since you hate her so much, why did you marry her back then?” Luo Yinan looked at this man who had become a stranger ever since her mother died.
No, perhaps they had been fooled by his disguise from the start.
Luo Fusheng became even more furious. He said, “This is not something a child like you should care about. If you won’t listen to me, get lost and go back overseas.”
Luo Yinan sneered. “That’s not up to you now.”
With that, she ignored his reaction and left.
Once Luo Yinan left, several people present also withdrew quietly.
She was stopped by a man when she reached the door. Luo Yinan looked at the Luo sisters behind him.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
The man looked nervous. “I’m Feiran’s friend.”
Luo Yinan nodded and waited patiently for him to continue.
At such close range, he was struck a huge blow by her beauty, and he changed what he had been about to say. “Are you really Valiant Sister?”
Seeing her puzzlement, the man took out his phone and showed it to her.
Luo Yinan hadn’t expected to be filmed catching that thief at the airport.
She nodded at the man’s question.
The man’s expression changed and he said excitedly, “I think you’re very cool. Can I treat you to a meal?”
Luo Yinan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She glanced at Luo Feiran’s ugly expression and smiled. “No.”
With that, she left.
The man shouted after her, “My name is Pei Qing. I won’t give up.”
This playboy, who was an old hand at love affairs, was like a young boy in front of Luo Yinan at that moment. He even blushed a little after his declaration..
