Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Is He That Live-in Son-in-Law?
"You think I don’t want to manage it, but a married daughter is like spilled water. I want to intervene, but I can’t."
Lu Youwen said with a bitter smile.
"You can’t manage it, but you can’t just leave it like this. I’ve roughly figured out the situation now. That guy next to your daughter seems to be a popular young idol. It seems like your daughter has some ambiguous relationship with him."
Lu Youwen responded with a nod, looking at Wu Youpeng.
"That young idol and the beauty next to Feng Shao are schoolmates; they even acted in a film together. It seems that this young idol has some feelings for Feng Shao’s woman, leading to a conflict. He suffered a loss and then turned to your daughter."
Wu Youpeng, who is in the hotel business, is adept at maneuvering in social circles and quickly figured out the situation.
Lu Youwen frowned: "So you’re saying my daughter was used."
"You could put it that way."
"But the root cause is because of this young idol, Xia Peng."
"Hmph, a mere actor dares to stir up trouble, courting death." Lu Youwen, with his Lu Group worth billions, is a prominent figure in Huacheng. He may be helpless with his daughter, but dealing with a young idol is a different matter.
Wu Youpeng looked at Lu Youwen: "I do have some things in hand that might be useful."
"However, dealing with this young idol is easy; the key is Feng Shao’s attitude. Your daughter not apologizing is unreasonable."
"Hidden Dragon Feng Shao, those who offended him never fared well, let alone Fatty Wang, who is like a mad dog; if you don’t explain, Wang Qian won’t let it go."
As the saying goes, it’s easier to face King Yan than to deal with troublesome spirits.
"Sigh, I want the girl to apologize, but you know I forced her to marry into the Huang family, and she suffered a lot. Besides, the Huang kid was a short-lived ghost, and they blamed her for being a jinx."
"Now, no matter what I say, she won’t listen. Her turning out like this is partly my fault."
"Old Lu, do you have heart problems?"
"Hmm?"
Lu Youwen looked at Wu Youpeng. Both were old and shrewd, and Lu Youwen instantly understood Wu Youpeng’s implication.
Lu Mei, rebellious to the bone, wouldn’t apologize, but he couldn’t leave it unresolved with Li Feng, so he’d end up faking a heart attack and being hospitalized.
"Mei, what do we do now? This Li Feng seems to be influential."
Xia Peng looked at Lu Mei, not expecting things to turn out like this. Lu Mei snorted, "What are you afraid of? I’ll have someone investigate his background. What, are you scared?"
"I’m not scared, just worried that it’ll trouble you, Mei."
"Hmph, this isn’t over. Slapping me twice, do they think I’m just a soft persimmon to pinch?"
Lu Mei, speaking harshly, still felt the burning pain on her face. Anger clouded her thoughts.
At that moment, Lu Mei’s phone rang.
"Hello?"
"What? Dad had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital?"
Lu Mei’s expression changed slightly: "Okay, I got it."
Lu Mei hung up the phone and looked at Xia Peng: "I have to go to the hospital. You go back, and I’ll contact you later."
With that, Lu Mei got into her car and headed straight to the hospital.
Xia Peng watched Lu Mei leave, feeling regret. He had indeed kicked a steel plate. He wasn’t an idiot and saw what went down in the room earlier, knowing the other party wasn’t simple.
Even Lu Mei’s father was polite to the other party. There might be some powerful force behind them, so Xia Peng decided to talk to his agent first.
His agency, HY Entertainment, also had significant connections, and its boss had power. After all, he was one of Emperor’s cash cows and should be protected.
At the hospital.
"Uncle Wu, where’s my dad?"
"Still in emergency."
Wu Youpeng looked at Lu Mei.
"How could my dad suddenly have a heart attack? Wasn’t he fine before I left? Is it because of that bastard?"
Thinking of Li Feng’s face made Lu Mei grit her teeth.
Wu Youpeng looked at Lu Mei: "Your father was angered by you. He knows he has wronged you and has been indulgent with you over the years, rarely questioning your affairs. But you’re getting more out of line."
"Do you know how much trouble you caused your father? Do you even know who you’ve offended?"
"Hmph, I don’t care who he is, even if he has money and power, so what? I ain’t afraid!"
Lu Mei snorted.
"You’re not afraid? Because you have no idea how powerful he is. He could bankrupt your father with just a word. You think you can enjoy life because of your money, but if he really wants to mess with you, your money means nothing."
Wu Youpeng said in a heartfelt manner, while Lu Mei pouted.
"Have you heard of Sihai Group?"
"Sihai Group - hardly anyone in Huacheng wouldn’t know them, right?"
"Good that you know, Sihai’s collapse was just earlier this year. Do you know how it happened?"
"Uncle Wu, you’re not saying it’s because of him, are you?"
"That’s right, just one word from him, and Sihai didn’t make it through the year. By the end of the year, Sihai Group had fallen apart, becoming food for others, and even your family got a share!"
Wu Youpeng sighed.
"And if he wanted, your Lu Family would be no exception."
Lu Mei frowned: "Uncle Wu, who is he really? What’s his identity? Does he have a strong backer?"
Wu Youpeng looked at Lu Mei.
"He doesn’t have a backer; he is the mountain. Everything he owns now is through his efforts. You might not have heard of him because you haven’t reached that level or had the qualification to meet him."
"He’s known as the Hidden Dragon of Huacheng. He usually keeps a low profile, but his actions are anything but subtle. Every time he acts, someone is a scapegoat. Over the years, he has single-handedly shaped Huacheng’s business order."
"You know that fat guy; he’s called Wang Qian, nicknamed Master Qian. You must have heard of him in the nightclub scene."
"Right, as you mention it, I think I’ve heard of him."
"The four major banks of Huacheng are all owned by this Li Feng."
"Doesn’t the name Li Feng sound familiar to you?"
"Hmm?"
Lu Mei blinked. Li Feng, sounds familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she’d heard it.
"Sea City’s Century Group."
"Isn’t he that famous kept son-in-law?" Lu Mei suddenly recalled. Huacheng and Sea City are neighbors, and he had frequently made it to the trending topics. Women love a bit of gossip, so naturally, Lu Mei had heard of him.
Of course, what she knew about Li Feng were just gossip pieces from the internet; the ’kept son-in-law’ label was particularly memorable.
