230: Chapter 230 Commander's Order

The farce didn't end until eight or nine o'clock.

In a massive banquet hall, only one table remained set in the end.

This was the first time Liu Lu had ever shared a meal with Su Nange.

He asked, "Nange, you won't blame me for making you lose out on those 3 billion, will you?"

Su Nange thought: So you actually do know.

However, regardless of anything else, the man was an elder on the same level as Zhou Bingzheng. More importantly, he was currently his father-in-law on the surface.

"Uncle Liu, how could I? It's just 3 billion; I can earn it back."

"Haha, good. Well said."

"However, there was a reason I asked you to give Lu Jinhong face."

"The Lu Family has been established in Shanghai for centuries. You can't evaluate them using the concept of an ordinary family anymore."

"It wouldn't have been a wise choice to snub him."

Su Nange found it strange: "Uncle Liu, how do you compare to him?"

Liu Lu chuckled: "Haha, me? I can't compare."

But what Su Nange found strange wasn't how strong Lu Jinhong was.

He continued with another question: "But why would a man you call the Emperor of Shanghai come out to help the Ouyang Family?"

Liu Lu was indeed stunned; he really hadn't considered this question before.

No wonder his old friend Zhou Bingzheng thought so highly of this young man.

Su Nange's perspective on issues was indeed very sharp.

Liu Lu shook his head: "I don't know. Now that you mention it, it really is a bit strange. At Lu Jinhong's level, he rarely makes public appearances."

"An occasion like today's seems a bit beneath his status."

However, this wasn't something Su Nange needed to worry about. Regardless, earning 20 billion for free today was already a significant victory for him.

Su Nange's savings could now be spent freely on items in the GTA Mall.

That terrorbyte, which was currently gathering dust, could also be upgraded to its final form.

On the other side, Lu Jinhong, who had returned home for the night, was indeed full of resentment.

He sat on a precious Phoebe zhennan wood chair, constantly drinking tea.

An extremely beautiful woman arrived gracefully, dressed in her pajamas.

Though she was over 50, she looked like she wasn't even 40 yet.

Her name was Shangguan Lingwei, and she was Lu Jinhong's wife.

The lady massaged Lu Jinhong's shoulders, speaking in a soft whisper: "What's wrong? Was the trip to Qiantang not successful?"

Lu Jinhong's anger flared up!

"That brat from the Ouyang Family made me lose face completely! My lady, you shouldn't have helped him!"

"It turns out all of this was that kid's own doing. At the end of tonight, he actually let the son-in-law of the Qiantang Liu Family confront the Japanese people on the spot!"

"That Saionji Sawa said herself that it was the Ouyang Family's instigation that made them want to seek revenge!"

Shangguan Lingwei, whose beautiful face was still at its peak, was indeed a bit embarrassed.

In a stark contrast, such a mature woman actually began to use a slightly coquettish tone.

"Darling, then I'm sorry. Lingwei was reckless; Ouyang Yunzheng came to beg me, and I didn't understand the situation clearly."

"Darling, tonight, Lingwei will serve you well."

Lu Jinhong still had some lingering resentment, but he loved and pampered his wife to his very core.

Despite being an old couple for many years, Shangguan Lingwei was still the most beautiful woman in Lu Jinhong's eyes. The two of them were still as passionately in love as a young couple.

Lu Jinhong placed his hand over the back of his wife's hand.

"Sigh, forget it. You had good intentions, my lady. We need to unite the Shanghai circle. For some things, I indeed have a responsibility to stand up for them."

Shangguan Lingwei leaned down behind the man: "Darling, you're so good! Lingwei will go run your bathwater."

After saying that, the woman walked gracefully out of the study.

Lu Jinhong really wanted to ask: who says feelings fade after being a couple for a long time?

His wife not only came from a great clan and had a noble status, but she also maintained a perfect figure and a beautiful face.

Most importantly, she always looked at him with such adoration.

This made Lu Jinhong feel much more accomplished than dealing with those flirtatious women outside who threw themselves at him.

On the other side, Ouyang Yunzheng, who had been the most humiliated tonight, also returned home.

Only, he had no one to comfort him.

At this moment, he was receiving a stormy scolding from his father.

Ouyang Chen used almost his loudest voice: "You worthless thing! Was what that Saionji person said true? Did you touch that thing?"

Ouyang Yunzheng knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Ouyang Chen had not only lost face but had also lost 20 billion for nothing! He picked up a thick book beside him and threw it at his son.

Ouyang Yunzheng's eyebrow was cut and bleeding from the hard book cover, but he still didn't make a sound.

He had his reasons for doing what he did.

Ouyang Yunzheng's mother, who doted on him, saw her husband's rage and didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

She was also anxious: "Yunzheng, just say something. Did you do that kind of thing?"

Ouyang Yunzheng finally looked up, his monolid eyes still incredibly gloomy.

"Father, please believe me. I have my reasons for doing this!"

"Please also believe that I will personally recover the losses I brought to the Ouyang Family today!"

Ouyang Chen was tired of shouting. Hearing his son say this, he sat down helplessly.

"Tell me, why exactly did you provoke the conflict between the Japanese and the Liu Family?"

Ouyang Yunzheng shook his head: "Father, there's a reason I had to do this. But right now, I really can't say."

"I can tell you my goal for doing this. It's because I want to eliminate the Japanese! And I was almost successful!"

Ouyang Chen looked shocked. Eliminate the Japanese? Do you know what you're saying?

Ouyang Yunzheng continued with deep regret: "But who knew the Japanese would find some connection from somewhere? They actually got our government to release that Sato and Himura Ryusai."

"Allowing Saionji Sawa to regain her strength!"

Ouyang Chen: "Yunzheng, is there something you can't even tell your father?"

"Father, please forgive me. I really can't say. You must understand me!"

Why couldn't Ouyang Yunzheng say it? On this point, he really wasn't exaggerating.

Because if this secret were known by others, then let alone his life, perhaps even the entire Ouyang Family would disappear from Shanghai forever along with him.

Shangguan Lingwei heard the sound of her husband showering in the other room. She silently went to her own study.

Her drawer had a hidden compartment, and only her fingerprint could open this mechanism.

With a slight electronic sound, the compartment popped open.

There were some documents inside. Shangguan Lingwei rummaged through them and pulled out a photograph.

She desperately wanted to destroy this photo.

But she knew that even if she burned the photo to ashes, they could still replicate countless copies of what she held in her hand.

Lately, every time Shangguan Lingwei saw the contents of the photo, she felt increasingly uneasy and cramped.

Even her breathing was starting to become labored.

Shangguan Lingwei regretted it deeply. Why had she done such a thing?

Lu Jinhong was very good to her; he had pampered her ever since they married.

Although she was originally a princess, Lu Jinhong held her in the palm of his hand even more.

He allowed her to be a happy little woman for her entire life.

However, Shangguan Lingwei shed tears. But I didn't always want to be a little woman!

I come from the Shangguan Family, which is as famous as the Wen Family in China. I am the eldest princess of the Shangguan Family.

Yet I was used for a marriage alliance to stabilize the Lu Family, which calls the shots in Shanghai.

Must I, Shangguan Lingwei, serve others for my entire life?

I also want to be a queen and be served by others!

The photo showed an extremely luxurious suite.

It looked like it was in a bay villa somewhere abroad.

And the female lead inside was the incredibly noble and beautiful Shangguan Lingwei.

She didn't have a single piece of clothing on her body. The only thing that could be remotely associated with the word 'covering' was the pair of seductive, sharp high heels on her feet.

The golden sunlight reflected from the sea shone onto Shangguan Lingwei's still-proud figure.

This woman, who was full of coquettishness in front of Lu Jinhong, was not like that in the picture. She held a glass of red wine, her face full of arrogance.

And in the photo, there was also a handsome man working hard to serve her.

The man was kneeling, and the woman was standing.

At that moment, Shangguan Lingwei was a proper queen~
