Chapter 64: Too Dangerous and Lethal
"Young master, aren't you just over exaggerating it? I don't think the Liu family will become our enemies. With how long our families been together, I doubt that they will become our enemies just because of a broken engagement." Elder Wu knew it's a big jump from being friends for three generations to enemies.
Lu Chen nods his head, "Yes, it wouldn't have been a problem if it's anybody else, but the problem is it's Ye Meixiu. Using her would be putting a red target onto our backs. It can be anyone else, but it cannot be Ye Meixiu."
Lu Chen had already place Ye Meixiu into the too dangerous and lethal section in his mind a long time ago.
The Ye group is not only on equal powers with the Liu Corporation. But they're also business rivals. So if Lu Chen decides to break the engagement with Liu Fei Fei and then settles on Ye Meixiu, it would be a death wish for the Lu family.
Lu Chen already knows what the headlines of newspapers will be once they find out. The Lu family's third son chooses the Liu family's business rival, the Ye princess, over their princess!
Aghhh, those reporters will have the time of their life writing that article. While Lu Chen is disturbed by his own thoughts, Elder Wu couldn't help but grin at how much Lu Chen is thinking ahead for the Lu family.
If I'm thinking two steps ahead, then the young master is thinking about three or maybe even four steps ahead of me. The Lu family will definitely have a prosperous future ahead of them.
But Elder Wu starts to regret that Ye Meixiu couldn't be a fiancee candidate for Lu Chen. He could help but say out loud, " But young master, Xiao Xiu would have been a great Ms. Lu."
Lu Chen looks at Elder Wu with his brows raised, "Huh, what do you mean?" He looks at Elder Wu in confusion about how Ye Meixiu would have been a great fiancee for him. Just remembering how she stuck her tongue at him is enough to make Lu Chen want to pinch her cheeks again.
Elder Wy immediately stops the car and looks at Lu Chen as if he's blind to the world around him. He could help but ask Lu Chen, "Xiao Chen, do you not understand Xiao Xiu's feelings for you?" Ye Meixiu's feelings are so apparent that everybody should have realized it by now.
From Elder Wu's pitiful expression, Lu Chen scoffs at him, "Of course, I know Meixiu's feelings towards me."
Elder Wu sighs in relief, Oh thank god, he is not like his grandfather. He never wants to have the same things that happened to Lu Chen's grandfather.
"She sees me as a reliable big brother." Lu Chen said, puffing his chest out proudly. To Lu Chen, Ye Meixiu will always be that little girl who he spoils and watches over. Lu Chen didn't tell Elder Wu, but the main reason why the man didn't want to use Ye Meixiu is she will always be a little sister to him. He didn't want to let her get into his problems when he can deal with them himself.
Bang
Despite Lu Chen's good nature, however, his words made Elder Wu bang his head onto the steering wheel. Goddammit, he is made from the same mold as him! My life is screwed! Elder Wu could already imagine the problems Lu Chen was going to face with women.
"Elder Wu, are you ok?" Seeing that Elder Wu suddenly banging his head onto the steering wheel made Lu Chen worry if something is wrong with him.
"I'm okay young master. I'm just reevaluating my life right now." From how ignorant Lu Chen is towards Ye Meixiu's feelings, Elder Wu wanted to retire as a bodyguard.
God, please smite me right now! Elder Wu screams in his heart as he couldn't take another one of those horrific events that he has gone through in the past.
While one person is crying his heart out in despair, Lu Chen, on the other hand, smiles as he talked with one of his closest friends again.
