Chapter 72 - A despotic flower (2)
Su Ran’s eyes reflexively drifted out of the window to the building across from them as she talked.
She had thought of the female lead as the little white flower when she was, in fact, a despotic flower. The male and female leads’ family was, indeed, scary.
Wu-ma had mentioned previously that Lin XingEr had gone overseas to have her neurasthenia treated. The male lead, being so in love with female lead, would have gone with her, presumably?
Lucky that they weren’t home; otherwise, it could be life-threatening for her to be around.
Su Ran let out a sigh of relief and mumbled to herself.
What she didn’t know was that not only was the male lead home, he was sitting inside the room that was close to them, meeting up with a guest.
“Words had it that Mr. Lu is intending to launch the project in City Dong?” said Song ZeYu seemingly casually as he pushed the cup of steeped tea in front of Lu Shao.
“Yes, that is the Lu’s plan for the time being,” said Lu Shao openly and raised his brows at Song ZeYu. “Why? Is Boss Song interested in it as well?”
“In fact, yes. If at all possible, we hope that Mr. Lu would consider having the Song’s as your partner in this project.”
The Song’s hadn’t been doing poorly in the last few years, but in comparison, the Lu’s were the real hidden strong player. It’d be very beneficial for the Song’s if they could have a friendly cooperative relationship with the Lu’s.
“The Song’s are surely a good choice for a partnership.” Lu Shao gave what seemed like a very neutral assessment. Then, switching the direction of the conversation abruptly, he added, “But the Lu’s traditionally like to pocket all of the profit from their projects.”
His words made Song ZeYu speechless, and he was only able to regain his calmness after a few seconds.
“Ho ho, that’s a shame. Say, what is the purpose of Mr. Lu’s visit then?”
As far as he knew, this power holder of the Lu’s had remained out of the sight for the most part in the last few years.
“To retrieve something.”
Song ZeYu, “??????”
“Thirteen years ago. 13 years and 10 months ago, to be precise. Do you remember what happened at Huating Hotel back then?”
Song ZeYu’s face changed drastically at the mention of the incident from 13 years ago. He had a look of disgust as though he had just swallowed a fly.
“It’d appear that you not only remember the incident, but that it was also very memorable.”
“Pardon me, but that was very personal.”
“Hold it right there.” Lu Shao looked up and interrupted Song ZeYu. “I am not interested in what happened between you and your wife.
“You were the one who took the security footage for the 13th floor for that night?”
When Lu Shao had Zhou Fu look into the incident from 13 years ago, they’ve learned that the someone seemed to have purposefully cleaned up after the incident from that day and the security footage had been removed. Song ZeYu was the one in possession of the security tape.
Song ZeYu’s face changed color when he heard that.
He had taken the security footage to show to the Su’s for the purpose of getting rid of Su Ran. He had not let anyone else know about it since then.
“I’ve taken the hotel security footage for that day for some personal reasons. It has been so many years already and I believe the footage has already been erased,” said Song ZeYu.
“Do you know why I come in person?”
Lu Shao’s stare gave Song ZeYu the creeps. Lu Shao was, indeed, the Lu’s power holder after all.
“Please wait here, Mr. Lu.”

Over on this side, Su Ran, not knowing that all her crazy past was being dug up that very moment, looked at the male lead’s pair of children. She felt very perturbed.
“What’s the matter, Instructor Su?”
“Nothing much. Haha. Did you say your birthday was last month?”
“Yeah, the 25th of last month.”
The 25th. That was less than a month apart from Su Han.
A birth date was not always a good indication for anything; however, it’d all make sense if the female lead had gotten pregnant on the same night as her.
“So you two are attending junior high school right now?”
“Yeah, freshman year.”
Freshman year. Same as her Su Han.
Hmm. Okay. He hasn’t lost at the starting point just yet.
