Chapter 189 It’s not that we can’t lose, it’s that we can’t lose without fighting
Many years ago, when Lu Xingchen founded the company, Wang Yunchao had always been her major client, and the cooperation between the two was relatively smooth.
Later, because Xu Fanghua's company encountered problems and urgently needed money, Lu Xingchen had no choice but to sell the company and Zhiduoxing No. 1 to Wang Yunchao.
Now, everything seems to be repeating the same mistake, and this time Wang Yunchao offered her 300 million yuan.
Lu Xingchen took a taxi back to the hotel.
Even when there was no one else around, she still sat with her back straight, and it was obvious that she was forcing herself to do so.
A lot has happened recently, and she is exhausted both physically and mentally and wants to take a break.
Lu Xingchen turned her head and looked out the window. This was the so-called hometown where she had lived since she was born, except when she was studying away from home.
There is a saying that goes, "A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live."
So, if the people targeting her and her mother are the Lu family, and she doesn't want to go against the Lu family that has raised her for so many years, would it be more appropriate for her to choose to leave this place and live somewhere else?
In this way, she sold Zhi Duo Xing to Wang Yunchao, got the money, paid off Lu Wenli's debt, and then took her mother away. No matter where they went, even if they did nothing, it was enough for her and her mother to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
But she was strong-willed. Whenever she thought about lying down and giving up, she felt like she had lost her soul and faith. She would always think of what she had promised Lu Dingsheng.
"Dad, I will be a more reliable daughter than a son. I will stay in the Lu family forever, and all my children will have the surname Lu. I will carry forward the Lu family's business!"
Although she was not his biological daughter and it was impossible for her to carry on the Lu family's business, she was even more determined to prove that she was a better daughter than his son.
"I will definitely be successful."
This is the most common sentence Lu Xingchen has said to himself during countless difficult nights, and he has put a lot of effort into this sentence.
Are you giving up now?
Thinking about it feels like a life-threatening situation. Giving up on Lu Xingchen is much more difficult than persisting.
And she was unwilling to accept it.
I am unwilling to be defeated by these things and people. I am unwilling to have to take a detour because of others when my path is clearly to be taken. I don't want to be bullied by others.
So, Lu Xingchen thought about it carefully again.
The debt that Lu Wenli owed this time was already very strange. Which lending company, even in the black market, would lend him tens of millions just because Zhencheng Li Zhen was his future son-in-law?
Obviously, everything was premeditated, from pulling him into the cryptocurrency circle to finally tricking him into owing tens of millions.
What happened to his mother's company that year was also caused by Lu Wenli's attempt to repay his huge gambling debts. He introduced funds at high interest rates during the recession in the financial industry and then transferred the funds from the public account.
Not long ago, her mother confessed to her that the Lu family was behind the scenes inducing Lu Wenli to gamble, advising him to raise interest rates to attract investment, and then exposing his embezzlement of public funds.
The person who told the mother all this was Fang Yuan, a financial manager in her company who was in her forties.
Fang Huan was also someone who was bribed by the Lu family. The reason she told her mother was because her mother treated her well on weekdays and she felt guilty.
Lu Xingchen heard from his mother that she had gone to look for Fang Yuan after the incident. However, Fang Yuan had already taken her daughter abroad when something happened in her mother's company and she was not held accountable.
Lu Xingchen had no way to verify this with her, and could only infer that it was the Lu family who did it based on what she said and her mother's confession that it was Old Lady Lu who asked her to marry Lu Wenli.
then……
After Lu Dingsheng confirmed that Lu Xingchen was Lu Wenli's daughter, he was heartbroken and wanted to kill Xu Fanghua. But he loved Xu Fanghua in his heart, so after confirming the origin of Lu Xingchen with Xu Fanghua and thinking again and again, he told Xu Fanghua.
"Xingchen is innocent. Legally speaking, she is my daughter, Lu Dingsheng. I really want you to get out of here immediately, but I don't want to embarrass Xingchen, and I don't want her to leave me. So you can find an excuse to leave, go abroad or anywhere else, just don't show up in front of me as much as possible, and don't let my mother know about this."
But the truth could not be hidden for long before the old lady found out.
After learning that not only was Xu Fanghua unable to give birth to a son for the Lu family, but that Lu Xingchen was not Lu Dingsheng's, Old Lady Lu fainted on the spot.
The first thing she did after waking up was to kill Xu Fanghua and Lu Xingchen, but killing people was unrealistic, so she asked them, mother and daughter, to leave the Lu family immediately.
But Lu Dingsheng was very determined to keep Lu Xingchen, and he did not compromise even when the old lady was so angry that she fell ill and was hospitalized.
The old lady knew that it was futile to start with her son, so she first told Xu Fanghua that she agreed to let Lu Xingchen continue to stay in the Lu family, but she must marry Lu Wenli. Otherwise, not only would Lu Xingchen not be able to stay in the Lu family, but even if she left the Lu family and lived anywhere else, she would make her life miserable.
At the same time, Old Mrs. Lu arranged a young daughter-in-law, Yang Wenqi, for Lu Dingsheng.
Two months later, Mrs. Lu brought Yang Wenqi, who was pregnant with Lu Dingsheng's child, back to the Lu family.
Xu Fanghua was completely desperate, and with the coercion of the old lady, she divorced Lu Dingsheng on the grounds of jealousy of Yang Wenqi, and immediately married Lu Wenli after the divorce. It all seemed as if she married Lu Wenli out of spite to annoy Lu Dingsheng.
Then what people in the circle knew was that Xu Fanghua was probably crazy. She didn't want to be a good Mrs. Lu and had to cheat on other men, and was eventually kicked out of the Lu family.
Not long after, Lu Dingsheng also married the young Yang Wenqi, and everyone thought this was natural.
Although Lu Xingchen was in an awkward situation, he did not leave the Lu family because he loved his father Lu Dingsheng too much.
But her life in the Lu family was not easy. The old lady would often hurt her by saying that she was not a child of the Lu family, trip her up, or make her sick because of her anger.
Her former uncle, Lu Dingsheng's brother and his family, also retaliated against her as an outsider who could compete for their family property.
Lu Wenli would come to the Lu family to cause trouble from time to time.
Lu Xingchen also couldn't bear to hand her mother over to Lu Wenli.
So, not long after Lu Dingsheng and Yang Wenqi's daughter was born, she said to Lu Dingsheng on a day when it was raining heavily in Yuecheng: "Dad, from now on you can just pretend that you never had a daughter like me."
Lu Dingsheng knew that she was in a difficult situation and her family was in a mess because of these things, so he did not try to keep her, but told her: "I will treat you as going out to gain experience. When you have enough ability to bear all this, you can come home at any time. You will always be my child, Lu Dingsheng, and I will always be your father."
Thinking of what Lu Dingsheng said, Lu Xingchen's thoughts of backing out suddenly stopped.
If she retreats she loses. It’s not that she can’t lose, it’s that she can’t lose without a fight.
Lu Xingchen straightened his back and said to himself again: "I will definitely make a name for myself."
To regroup, Lu Xingchen sorted out his thoughts again.
Regardless of whether these two incidents were committed by the Lu family, if she sold Mastermind to Wang Yunchao, then Wang Yunchao would be the beneficiary of these two incidents.
Could this be a coincidence?
No, even if Wang Yunchao is not the mastermind, he must be an insider. Lu Xingchen decided to meet this person properly.
That night, Huo Chuanwu called Li Zhen and said, "It has been confirmed that Wang Yunchao was behind Lu Wenli's case, but there is no evidence to prove that he was involved in the incident a few years ago. Should we arrest him first or continue the investigation?"
Li Zhen made a prompt decision, "Let's take him down first. Xingchen should think of Wang Yunchao soon. We have to hand him over to her before she makes a move."
Huo Chuanwu heard this and asked, "Are you a little eager to take credit?"
Li Zhen did not deny it, "No merit, no reward. It's different if you have merit."
Huo Chuanwu: "Swindler."
Li Zhen: “That’s great.”
