Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Meanwhile, Lu Man went home, changed her clothes, and redid her makeup.

After being rejected by the Ji family, she turned to the Lu family.

Of course, there was no obstruction from the Lu family, and she had a completely smooth journey. After all, she was still the Lu family's young lady on the surface. However, after entering the lobby, the employees at the Lu family office looked at her with slightly unusual expressions.

Lu Man felt very uncomfortable, and she knew why.

Once she's finished dealing with things at the company, she definitely won't let that person off the hook.

She strutted into the elevator with her high heels, looking smug and arrogant.

She naturally pushed open the door to Lu Jinnan's office.

Lu Jinnan was working. Don't be fooled by his usual carefree and irresponsible attitude. He keeps work and play separate, and he is quite serious at the company.

Today, I was fortunate enough not to be dragged to the women's conference by my mother. I rushed to the company early, afraid that if I was a step late, my mother would hold me back again.

Seeing that Lu Man looked displeased as she entered, Lu Jinnan guessed a little that it was related to the trending topics that morning. Lu Jinnan was used to this; whenever there was a trending topic, he would receive the news immediately, no matter what was happening in the industry.

He wasn't very enthusiastic; he only looked up for a second before continuing with his work. "What is it?"

Lu Man angrily threw her bag on the sofa and sat down by herself. "Brother, has A-Cheng fallen for that woman?"

This question successfully attracted Lu Jinnan, who was engrossed in his work. He stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and asked, "You know that Young Master Ji is married?" He hadn't told Lu Man that Ji Hancheng was divorced. He didn't like her either, whether she called herself his cousin or his god-sister.

Lu Man said angrily, "Brother, you knew she was married all along, why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Jinnan casually tossed the pen aside, leaned back lazily in his chair, adopted a nonchalant attitude, and smiled knowingly, "Why should I tell you who you are? Did you pay me to hire you?" He looked at Lu Man with disdain, as if she were an idiot.

At that moment, he felt that his cousin was no match for his former sister-in-law in any way.

She only gains the upper hand with Lu Man. Every time she's with Han Yue or Ji Hancheng, she's at a disadvantage and can only be roasted. Her IQ is always offline.

Lu Man's face darkened even more. "You............"

Lu Jinnan didn't care about her anger and continued, "As a matter of respect for you, let me give you some advice: life is like an unknown journey with a beginning and an end. But Young Master Ji is not your destination. Stop clinging to him. You just see how successful Young Master Ji is now and regret breaking up with him. But you know very well that if it weren't for your grandfather, you would have broken up with him hundreds of years ago. You wouldn't have dragged it out for a year. You know exactly what he thinks of you. Don't keep adding drama to your life and fantasizing that you two actually have a past. If you really like acting, I can send you to develop in the entertainment industry."

Lu Man disagreed with Lu Jinnan's words. She felt that Master Ji's repeated indulgence of her was out of affection and consideration. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned the information about drugging her to her, but instead sent it to that woman. As for that woman, she had only offended that woman since returning to the country, and the events of the past few days must have been her doing.

Just wait and see.

"Brother, you don't know about my relationship with Master Ji. He likes me. You don't need to get involved in this. I have a way to bring him back to my side. I came here today to ask you for help with my dad's company."

Lu Jinnan didn't have a good look on this family of bloodsuckers. "Uncle isn't cut out for entrepreneurship. You're forcing him to shut down the company and find a job. If that doesn't work, I'll arrange a position for him at Lu's Group."

This meant they wouldn't help. Lu Man's face flushed red and then turned pale. "We're your relatives. Are you just going to watch the Xu family go bankrupt and stand by and do nothing? Brother, can't you just give me any project?"

Lu Jinnan scoffed. What a family of ungrateful wretches! After all these years of helping, they not only show no gratitude, but take it all for granted. His mother is soft-hearted and spoils them, but he and his father won't tolerate this family's bad habits. "Do you think this is a charity? I've been doing charity for so many years, and I haven't seen the results I wanted. They've gone bankrupt. How can I help you? Invest in Xu's? Lu Man is insatiable. My bottom line is to help you settle your company's accounts and declare bankruptcy. I won't help you with anything else. Don't even dream about it."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "My condition for settling accounts is that you start liquidation tomorrow. If you delay any longer and the debt increases, I will not be responsible. The deadline is two days. You can decide what to do."

Lu Man was furious that Lu Jinnan was even more heartless than Master Ji. She stood up and said angrily, "You're trying to drive us to our deaths. This is too much!"

Lu Jinnan didn't take it seriously. He took the phone, looked at his face, and fiddled with his hair, revealing his arrogant and unruly demeanor. "When my mom and grandpa helped you without any scruples, they never went too far. You've lived a life of luxury all these years. Be content. Your uncle doesn't have that kind of ability."

Lu Man felt that coming to see Lu Jinnan today was a mistake. She should have gone directly to the Lu family to find her aunt, at least she would still have some family ties.

Before taking a step, Lu Jinnan reminded him, "Don't even think about going to my mother. She's not in charge now. Even if she agrees, it's just an empty promise without my signature."

Lu Man, her face ashen, picked up her bag from the sofa and rudely opened the door without helping Lu Jinnan close it.

Lu Jinnan, shaking his head, said, "It's terminal, terminal. This delusional disorder is a kind of illness too."

Lu Man got off the elevator and when she got downstairs, she felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

at the same time.

The Tang family was also in chaos, not much better off than Lu Man's; in fact, it was quite bad.

After Lu Man drugged the Tang family last time, all the people who came were people with powerful connections. Knowing that their grandson and wife had been drugged, they cut off all cooperation with the Tang family that very night.

In addition, the 8000 million yuan loss from the previous Tangxin project has not yet been made up. Now, with the withdrawal of funds and the termination of cooperation, it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

To make matters worse, after Tang Junting's incident, Ji Mingyuan asked to break up with her.

But how could Tang Junting give up such a big support? She absolutely refused. She tried everything she could to keep Ji Mingyuan with her, but she could sense that things had changed. Today, when she called Ji Mingyuan to ask for his help, a delicate-sounding girl answered the phone.

Tang Junting was so angry she cried. Who exactly leaked her information?

Finding no hope, the family was in a deathly silence in the living room. Chen Lan didn't want her hard-won position as Mrs. Tang to end like that.

The family members had different thoughts.

She quickly changed her mind and encouraged Tang Xin, "Old Tang, why don't you ask Yao Yao for help? Ask her to persuade Master Ji. If Master Ji takes action, our company will definitely be saved immediately."

Tang Xin hesitated for two reasons: firstly, Tang Junyao didn't like him, and secondly, he felt somewhat guilty about the drugging incident last time.

Tang Junting wholeheartedly agreed with her mother's words. She didn't want the company to go bankrupt, otherwise she wouldn't be the young lady of the Tang family. "Dad, Mom is right. Don't hesitate. What's more important than the company now? If the company goes bankrupt, we'll have nothing left. This villa might even have to be used to pay off debts. My sister definitely won't take out her assets to help us. But it's not difficult for her to talk to Master Ji. They're husband and wife. This is a small matter for Master Ji."

Tang Xin was persuaded by the mother and daughter's repeated requests, "Okay, I'll go find her now. What shift is she on today?"

Chen Lan and Tang Junting both shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.

Chen Lan was a little anxious. "Go to the hospital today and have Tingting go with you. If she's not there today, find out her shift schedule for the next few days, and you'll be able to see her."

Tang Xin nodded.
