Free Web NovelChapter 892: Chapter 337: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] If Only Time Could Turn Back (Part 6)_2
The Lu Family withdrew their investment...
The porcelain spoon in Lin Chu’s hand suddenly fell to the ground, the sound of it shattering was sharp and piercing.
The Lin Family’s crisis had not yet been exposed by the media, relying solely on the funds injected by the Lu Family to keep afloat. The situation was already dire, and this sudden withdrawal was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
Why?
Why else could it be?
Lin Zongjun’s dark eyes were also extremely grim, his jaw set in a straight line. He instructed in a calm voice, "First, have the deputy general manager go over to stabilize everyone. I need to handle a personal matter first."
"Yes, Chairman, I’ll head back to the company first."
After the assistant left, Lin Chu snapped out of her trance.
Standing up, she walked out, her slippers stepping on the porcelain shards on the floor, "Dad, you should go to the company first. I’ll go find Lu Huai’an myself."
The Lu Family’s attitude was already very clear, and Lin Zongjun certainly wouldn’t let his daughter face it alone, "Xiao Chu, wait, I’ll go with you."
He set down the teacup when Lin Chu had already closed the door and left the Lin Family Villa.
...
Lin Chu drove her father’s car to the old Lu residence, speeding remarkably fast, familiar enough to be stopped by the traffic police.
But after she entered the password and opened the door, she was stopped at the entrance by a Lu Family servant, "Miss Lin, whom are you looking for?"
Miss Lin...
A polite yet distant form of address.
Lin Chu’s delicate features had no warmth. Even her gaze at the counterpart was extremely cold, "I haven’t divorced Lu Huai’an yet. In what capacity are you stopping me?"
The servant’s sarcastic retort was cut off by a deep, powerful voice.
"Let her in. I want to see what else she has to say."
There were people in the living room.
Three generations of the Lu Family were there, the air thick with tobacco smoke, the cold and severe atmosphere making it hard to approach.
After the servant stepped aside, Lin Chu walked into the living room.
The person who spoke was Lu Zhengmao. Sitting in the main seat was Old Master Lu, both of them staring coldly at Lin Chu with identical looks. freeweɓnovel.cøm
All the servants had returned to their rooms. Lin Chu stood alone in the living room.
Her hands at her sides clenched tightly, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "Grandfather, Dad..."
"We cannot accept being addressed like that, Miss Lin should change her address,"
She had just called out to them when she was interrupted by Lu Zhengmao’s indifferent voice.
Lin Chu’s fair face gradually turned pale. No one here wanted to hear her explanation. Whether or not it was she who pushed Song Jingyuan down the stairs, she was already convicted.
The old man’s sharp eyes pinned the girl frozen in place without any emotion, "If you have something to say, say it early. When the police come to arrest you, there might not be another chance."
The police...
There’s no need for much explanation of what that means.
When Lu Huai’an appeared at the staircase on the second floor, Lin Chu’s taut nerves didn’t relax in the slightest.
She watched the cold man descend the stairs step by step, only feeling the chill under her feet grow stronger. That icy, dark gaze immobilized her.
Lu Huai’an walked into the living room, not sparing Lin Chu a glance, yet he held her cold hand.
"She came to see me. We’ll go home first and come back in the afternoon."
His action already conveyed his stance.
The old man’s stern gaze fell on their clasped hands, his severe voice full of displeasure, "Lu Huai’an, do you know what you’re doing?"
Lu Huai’an led Lin Chu outside, his voice calm and steady, "I don’t know, so I need a few hours to clear my head."
After they left, Lu Zhengmao was extremely disappointed and angry, the veins on his forehead bulging, crushing the cigarette in his hand into powder.
His mother’s body was not yet cold, and he could still protect the murderer!
"Dad, Lin Chu can’t stay in the Lu Family any longer."
The old man’s brows were tightly knitted, his composed voice unwavering.
"The Lin Family has a baby formula industry under its wing. Rumors have been spreading since two months ago about the products being substandard, causing many infants to fall ill and needing hospitalization. We’ll start from there."
...
As soon as they walked out of the Lu Family Villa, Lu Huai’an let go of Lin Chu’s hand.
The car was parked outside the gate, and the man walked forward without looking back, as if she didn’t exist at all.
This was probably the most oblivious Lin Chu had ever been in her life, as she followed him into the passenger seat.
Lu Huai’an didn’t drive, the silence in the car was chilling.
His stark, cold profile was indifferent to the extreme, his voice steady without a hint of fluctuation but filled with an icy chill, "Get out. If you keep wandering under my eye, I don’t know what I might do."
