After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Lu Ranran saw that he had a serious expression on his face, but the questions he asked were not very important, so she couldn't help feeling a little doubtful.

But he didn't say anything, and she didn't know where to start, so she just answered his question:

"You guessed it."

"I think he was there when we first went to the Shen Mansion. After he left, grandma asked you to go and see if grandpa had calmed down."

"And when we went to Zhuxi Village during the Chinese New Year, my mother came too. It doesn't make sense that his biological son wouldn't be there, right?"

"So they probably don't have a good relationship, and the son usually has the most conflicts with his father..." She spread her hands helplessly, "Patricide, a classic theme."

Shen Xiling nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.

After chatting for a while, the press conference finally officially began.

As the main spokesperson, Qian Ying shone brightly in the spotlight.

Lu Ranran didn't quite understand what she was saying. She only knew that they had upgraded their production technology, doubling their production efficiency, and becoming more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

In short, it’s good!

Lu Ranran was watching Qian Ying answering questions fluently and confidently from the audience, and she clapped her hands with joy.

If it weren't for the restrictions of her status that required her to behave more reservedly, she might have started cheering and shouting.

After Qian Ying finished her speech, she stepped down from the stage and sat back next to Lu Ranran.

Only Lu Ranran noticed that when she sat down, her feet in high heels suddenly slipped.

Qian Ying gently stroked her chest and asked in a low voice:

"How about it?"

Lu Ranran gave a thumbs up.

"Very impressive, Director Qian."

Qian Ying slapped Lu Ranran a little embarrassedly, "Stop yelling."

The next speaker was Shen Xiling.

While two people were whispering in the audience, Shen Xiling's elegant and clear voice came through the microphone.

"Hello everyone, I am Shen Xiling from Shen's Construction. I am honored and happy to see you all here today..."

Shen Xiling under the spotlight was no different from usual, but in Lu Ranran's eyes, he was like the brightest morning star in the sky.

It seems to bring together all the metaphors for a better future.

Lu Ranran couldn't help but think of the first time she met him, in the building built by Shen's.

She was panicked by the marriage with Zhang Heng, and under the "stimulation" of Lu Keke and Shen Beiyu, she did something that now seems completely nonsensical.

What kind of good person would rush up to a stranger's door and ask him directly if he wants to marry him?

but......

No matter how nonsensical the beginning is, the ending... oh, no.

Perhaps even now, she still doesn't feel that she has taken the wrong path.

"Hey," Qian Ying gently poked Lu Ranran with her elbow, "Are your eyes too fiery?"

Lu Ranran was not at all shy, her eyes were sparkling, as if she had seen some rare treasure.

"So handsome, don't you think?" she replied to Qian Ying.

Qian Ying made a speechless "tsk" sound, hating herself for talking too much again.

The speeches were followed by some routine questions.

After a few routine questions, a reporter in the back row, who didn't have a microphone to ask questions, had to shout:

"Excuse me!"

All eyes present were focused on him.

Shen Xiling said politely:

"Please say."

This time, the microphone finally fell into his hands.

Perhaps because he adhered to the principle of never saying something shocking, the questions he asked made everyone present fall silent.

"What I want to ask is, as the building materials supplier of Shen's Construction, will the series of scandals involving plagiarism, prostitution, murder, etc. among the family members of the Lu family affect Shen's trust in the Lu family?"

"I believe everyone still remembers the collapse 22 years ago. The cause of the accident revealed so far was the use of inappropriate materials."

"Excuse me, why is Shen's Construction, which is always known for its strict standards, so lenient towards the Lu family?"

Lu Ranran pursed her lips and gave Shen Xiling a look, indicating that he shouldn't care about her.

Shen Xiling blinked, indicating that he had received her message.

"Let me summarize it this way," Shen Xiling said calmly, "What you actually want to ask is, will the current frequent scandals affect the Lu family's reputation in the industry?"

"First of all, any materials used by Shen's will undergo a third-party secondary quality inspection to ensure that there will be no problems during the construction process. Please rest assured. But..." Shen Xiling smiled, "Shen's Construction cannot guarantee that there will be no problems with the building materials supplied by the Lu family to other developers."

"Secondly, from a business perspective, Shen and Lu are two different companies, involved in different industries, and Shen cannot guarantee any company." He turned to Lawrence Lu who was sitting in the audience, "So I think it is more appropriate for Mr. Lawrence Lu of the Lu family to respond to this question."

The eyes of the whole audience were focused on Lu Zhongyuan.

Lu Keke looked at her father nervously, her eyes full of worry.

But the next second, she would feel how unnecessary and ridiculous her worries were.

Because of Lu Zhongyuan, her good father who has always loved her, has made the decision to take drastic measures.

He stood up from the crowd and took the microphone.

"A lot has happened recently. I'm sorry to have caused everyone to worry about these trivial matters at home."

"But I must explain, my wife... no, now it should be my ex-wife."

"Dad, what did you say..."

Lu Zhongyuan ignored Lu Keke's questioning and continued to speak:

"In fact, my ex-wife and I had agreed to divorce a year ago, but it was put on hold until now due to property issues."

"But I can assure you that we will not interfere with each other's careers."

"My ex-wife's various illegal acts have nothing to do with me! I will not defend her, everything will be decided by the law."

Lu Keke collapsed in her seat.

She didn't believe it. Was this what her father, who had always loved her, said? How could he be so cold-blooded!

The reporter was not satisfied with this irrelevant answer.

"I remember that your daughter Lu Keke is already engaged to the second son of the Shen family."

"Does this marriage make you feel that Shen's is your reliance, so you only supply good materials to Shen's, and treat other developers with extreme perfunctory attitude?"

When Lu Keke heard her name, she immediately looked at Lu Zhongyuan.

She was in a panic, like a dandelion blown into the air by a strong wind, not knowing where her home was.

"Dad, Dad," she grabbed Lawrence Lu's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice, "Don't, don't abandon me..."

The next second, Lawrence Lu shook off Lu Keke’s hand and said calmly:

"This is indeed my fault for not raising my daughter well. It's also my fault for not paying enough attention to her and letting her stay with my ex-wife for too long, so she has learned bad habits."

"The engagement with Shen...is to show our Lu family's determination."

"We decided to call off the engagement."

"I don't want it!!" Lu Keke yelled, "Why should I cancel the engagement? I did nothing wrong. It's all because of those people—"

"Pa!" A loud slap hit Lu Keke's face.

"Isn't this embarrassing enough?" Lu Zhongyuan said angrily, "Go home and reflect on your actions!"

"You are not allowed to go out without my permission!"
