Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1091: Chapter 1085: Conversation

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing thought to herself, as expected, when Lu Tianxing and Liang Shidao were getting ready to meet Lu Haoyue, she had already guessed that Liang Shidao had bad intentions. She just didn’t expect Lu Tianxing to put on an act with Lu Haoyue to trap Liang Shidao.

”Lu Haoyue, this person...”

”Very strong.”

Lu Tianxing said seriously, ”His strength is a bit lesser than mine, but if it really came down to a fight, even if I could kill him, it would be at great cost to myself, like killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of my own. It’s not worth it. Besides, he’s humble and doesn’t have the arrogant aura of a playboy. I finally understand why the Lu Family has stood strong in Jiangnan for hundreds of years. With successors like him, how could the Lu Family ever fall?”

”Then why do you view him as your number one enemy?”

”Because of our status. If I’m part of the Lu Family, I can’t avoid being labeled a prodigy. Whoever is the prodigy is the future master of the Lu Family. I might not care, but that doesn’t mean Lu Haoyue doesn’t care. Similarly, outsiders will compare us, so no matter what, a showdown between me and Lu Haoyue is inevitable.”

”Since it’s unavoidable, why did you still put on an act for Liang Shidao?” Bai Zhiqing asked puzzled.

”Because I don’t like being manipulated.”

Lu Tianxing said casually, ”Lu Haoyue and I are part of the Lu Family. No matter how we fight, it’s our family affair. It’s not the place for an outsider to meddle. If one uses external forces to eliminate their own family, such a person might as well not live at all.”

Bai Zhiqing thoughtfully nodded and smilingly said, ”Lu Tianxing, I didn’t expect you to have a day where you’d praise someone. I really didn’t see that coming.”

”Wife, are you underestimating me?”

Lu Tianxing chuckled, and his hands became increasingly flirtatious, landing on Bai Zhiqing’s shapely buttocks. He gave it a strong squeeze: ”Wife, it’s getting late. Shouldn’t we be going to bed now?”

”Ah, Lu Tianxing, what are you up to this time?” Bai Zhiqing blushed slightly, saying.

”Of course, doing something we both enjoy. Besides, we promised Grandpa and Grandma that after returning from Suzhou, we’d make sure you got pregnant. We need to hurry up. What do you say, wife?”

With that said, without hesitation, Lu Tianxing picked up Bai Zhiqing in a princess carry and headed towards the bedroom.

Lu Family!

After leaving Dream Kingdom, Lu Haoyue did not immediately return to his villa but went to the Lu Family Mansion and headed directly to the back courtyard.

”Young Master.”

Along the way, the Lu Family Guards stationed around saw Lu Haoyue and respectfully saluted.

”Is my grandpa asleep?” Lu Haoyue stopped a Lu Family Guard and asked.

”Old Master is still in the study.”

”I see.”

Lu Haoyue nodded and headed directly to the study.

At this moment, inside the study, the Old Master of Lu Family was quietly reading an ancient book, looking like an ordinary old man, showing no signs of his once ferocious reputation from over two decades ago when he stormed into Beijing.

Lu Haoyue stood at the study door, gently knocked, and then pushed open the door to enter.

”Haoyue, you’re back. It’s so late. Instead of resting, what brings you to your old Grandpa? If Fangfang finds out, she might blame me.” The Old Master of Lu Family put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.

”Grandpa, today I met Lu Tianxing.”

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, the Old Master of Lu Family immediately perked up: ”What happened?”

Lu Haoyue slowly began, ”It was Liang Shidao who brought Cousin to see me.”

”The Liang Family, it seems they can’t sit still this time.”

The Old Master of Lu Family’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Lu Haoyue nodded, ”Liang Shidao is duplicitous. He brought Cousin to meet me, hoping to incite conflict between us. Unfortunately for him, he underestimated me, Lu Haoyue, so Cousin and I simply put on an act for him. If nothing unexpected happens, by tomorrow morning, the entire Jiangnan will hear rumors of discord between Lu Haoyue and Lu Tianxing. When that time comes, I want to see which fearless individuals will come forward.”

Listening to this, the Old Master of Lu Family approvingly said, ”You did well. However, remember, no matter how severe the infighting within the Lu Family, outsiders must not interfere. Do you understand?”

”Yes, Grandpa, I understand.” Lu Haoyue solemnly nodded.

”By the way, what do you think of Tianxing?” the Old Master of Lu Family asked.

”Very dangerous.”

Recalling his previous encounter with Lu Tianxing, Lu Haoyue’s expression grew serious, ”I haven’t met Uncle Third, but I’ve often heard my father talk about him, knowing his ways. However, Cousin and Uncle Third’s ways are almost identical. If you don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke you. But if you provoke me, I’ll obliterate you. Furthermore, Cousin’s tactics are more skillful than Uncle Third’s. While Uncle Third might act with some reservations, Cousin’s methods have no restraint. He cares nothing about the opponent’s face—either he doesn’t act, or he strikes with thunderous might.”

”You have a high opinion of your cousin.”

”He deserves it.”

The Old Master of Lu Family looked deeply at Lu Haoyue, then said slowly, ”If your cousin were to enter the Lu Family and compete with you for the position of Family Head, what would you do?”

Lu Haoyue hadn’t expected the Old Master to ask this and was slightly stunned before replying, ”Of course, I’d compete. If my cousin truly had the ability to lead the Lu Family to new heights, I’d hand over the successor title to him without hesitation. But if he doesn’t, I certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch the Lu Family decline under him.”

”If both you and your cousin could lead the Lu Family to glory, what then?”

”A battle to decide the victor.”

Lu Haoyue gravely stated, ”This world always respects the strong. If it can’t be distinguished otherwise, then let a battle settle it. The loser withdraws.”

”If your cousin loses, will you kill him?”

”No, I wouldn’t harm my family, nor would I harm my brother. If I’m to be the Lu Family Head, I’ll ensure my cousin acknowledges it, showing him the Lu Family prospers under my leadership.”

”If you lose and your cousin wants to kill you?”

”He won’t kill me.”

Lu Haoyue said solemnly, ”I’ve only interacted with him today, but I trust he’s a man of loyalty and righteousness; he wouldn’t do that.”

After hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, the Old Master of Lu Family smiled with relief. His greatest fear was the mutual destruction between Lu Haoyue and Lu Tianxing. Listening to Lu Haoyue’s heartfelt words, he felt reassured, confident he’d chosen the right person.

”Haoyue, it’s good you think this way, though not everyone in the Lu Family may share your thoughts,” the Old Master sighed.

”Grandpa, rest assured, no matter what others think, I, Lu Haoyue, will never wield a knife against my cousin. However, this situation between my cousin and me can be used to gauge who in the Lu Family relishes internal strife. For those individuals, we won’t kill them, but we will strip their martial skills and expel them. The Lu Family needs no traitors.” Lu Haoyue asserted.

”Haoyue, I hope you remember your words today. I don’t wish to personally cleanse the family in the future.” The Old Master of Lu Family said sternly.
