Now at this critical juncture, any explanation was a cover-up, and a cover-up was a sign of weakness. Whoever went out to explain had to be really stupid to the extreme.

Seeing this, a woman in red beside Hu Chenge spoke to that family member. She happened to be Hu Qian, the manager of the Southern Seas Hotel. “Go out first.”

This Hu family’s clansman looked as if he had received a reprieve from a death sentence and hurriedly scooted away. After he was outside the room, he turned back for a look, his whole back drenched in cold sweat.

“Patriarch, since things have come to this point, all explanations are useless.

So what should we do?” As the person in charge of the Southern Seas Hotel, she had to bear the bulk of the responsibility now that the matter was exposed. Right now, she did not even dare to take a big breath.

Hu Chenge had also gradually calmed down. He then said in a menacing voice, “The most urgent task now is to take control of public opinion. Delete this video at all costs. At the very least, get it into a situation where we are able to control its circulation. ”

“Then, kill that Lu Yu on the spot!” Hu Chenge made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes full of sinister hostility. He then said, “After that, track this video to continue your investigation. Find out who is secretly helping that Lu Yu.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Hu Qian accepted her orders and excused herself. Thereafter, she summoned the Hu family’s clansman who had just been dismissed. That Hu family’s clansman bowed deeply and said ingratiatingly, “Manager Hu, what are your orders?”

Hu Qian delegated the matter of deleting the video to him. After that, she said in an icy tone, “You have to learn to be smarter in the future. You have to know what to say and what not to say. Otherwise, your head will be separated from your body very quickly. ”

This Hu family’s clansman was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He hurriedly rushed off to carry out his task. Still on the same matter, Hu Qian dialed a number and spoke, “Commander Yao, I think we can put aside the matter we have talked about before for the time being.”

On the other end of the line, Yao Xianming was silent for a long time before he ended the call.

Not surprisingly, he was well aware of the Southern Seas Hotel scandal. He could tell at first glance that Lu Yu was responsible. In front of Hu Qian, he had nothing to say when he knew full well whose fault it was.

When she said to put aside that matter for the time being, she was implying that whatever they had agreed upon previously was now canceled.

“This guy is really capable of stirring up the greatest amount of trouble for me!” Yao Xianming got up and slammed the desk and chair, bellowing in fury. Thereafter, his eyebrows knitted together and he let out a bitter laugh.

Not long ago, he and Hu Qian had just come to an agreement that the Southern Seas Hotel would no longer try to kill Lu Yu. Much to his surprise, Lu Yu committed another act that astounded him. Thanks to this scandal, the Southern Seas Hotel and Lu Yu were now irreconcilable mortal enemies.

Yao Xianming felt very frustrated over this issue. In the end, he gave a call to Sima Yu and issued only one order. And that was to watch over Lu Yu more closely before the conferment ceremony, to prevent him from getting into more trouble.

Following that, he flopped down in his chair and stared up at the ceiling, engrossed in deep thought.

At this moment, the one who started this troublesome matter was hanging out somewhere near the Capital City University. He had just spent 100 million federal dollars to purchase a complete private villa in a place called Fragrant Hill.

The so-called Fragrant Hill was a small hill in the northwest area of the capital. The flowers there bloomed all year round and it always felt like spring no matter what season it was. Behind the hill, there was a lake and adjacent to it was a commercial street, which was a famous street near the Capital City University.

Lu Yu’s whole family moved into the private villa. Looking at the three-storey villa spreading over more than three hundred square meters, Giovanna could not help grinning from ear to ear.

“Old companion, this is the place you and the children will live in the capital from today onwards. If you are not used to living here, you can return to Lunan City anytime. That place is now under my control!” Lu Yu made a sweeping gesture with his hand and proclaimed boldly.

Giovanna rolled her eyes vehemently and said, “Yes, yes, yes! My Lord, the

Count.”

As Giovanna had taken the Beauty Sustaining Pill and restored her youth, her external appearance maintained the look she had when she was in her twenties. She was brimming with youthful beauty all over. And Lu Yu had also cultivated to the level of Grade 9 Great Grand Master. He was full of health vitality and outwardly he looked like a 17 or 18 -year-old youngster.

Lu Yu, who was much older than Giovanna in reality, now looked younger than her. This elderly couple resembled a young couple in deep, passionate love, and it was the kind of love where a young boy was infatuated with an older girl.

Giovanna gave a suggestion, “In the future, don’t address me as ‘old companion’ anymore. I don’t look so old now. Just go back to how you used to address me.”

“Van… na…” Lu Yu was stunned for a while, before uttering her name in a daze. It was as if they had returned to their younger days when he had just met Giovanna, when everything was peaceful and beautiful.

Giovanna’s eyes also became reddened. Lu Yu wiped the tiny teardrop off the corner of her eyes. Giovanna said with a sigh, “Old companion, we have been together for so many years without realizing it. Time passed really fast. It seemed like only yesterday, yet in the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up.”

Lu Yu wrapped his arms around Giovanna’s slender waist and pressed her head on his chest. Then he said softly, “Didn’t we say we have to change how we address each other?”

The melancholy Giovanna gave a snort and caressed Lu Yu’s face, saying, “Yes, my old companion looks much younger than me now. I wonder how many women have been charmed by this face. Am I right, Lu Yu?”

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind the two. When they turned their heads for a look, they saw Lu Shan and Lu Shui lurking there for who knew how long. They were staring at Lu Yu and Giovanna with foolish grins on their faces.

The kids had just witnessed Giovanna and Lu Yu acting lovey-dovey just now. Instantly, Giovanna’s face turned bright red.

Lu Shui was much more mischievous than Lu Shan and she said with a cheeky laugh, “Dad, Mom, you two carry on. Pretend that we don’t exist.”

Lu Yu immediately put on the authoritarian look of a father and said with a stern face, “I think you two are asking for a beating! Go and train now, or else I will serve you the family law!”

Lu Shan was a little apprehensive, but Lu Shui simply stuck out her tongue and made a face. She then dragged Lu Shan with her and left.

Soon, the family’s first meal in their new home was ready. Giovanna did the cooking personally. As Lu Yu basked in the heart-warming atmosphere, he looked at Giovanna’s young face and fell into deep thought.

He was now a Grade 9 Great Grand Master. He had not only become younger, but he might live a long life in the future. Although Giovanna had taken the Beauty Sustaining Pill and regained her youth, she was still an ordinary person after all.

With the passage of time, she was bound to get old again. He did not want to see his wife aging again before his eyes, gradually getting closer to the day of death. He wanted to guide Giovanna to start her cultivation.

However, Giovanna seemed to be very satisfied with her current life and did not have any thoughts of cultivation. Lu Yu could only bury this thought in his heart. Nonetheless, he still secretly circulated the Emerald Emperor’s Method to regulate Giovanna’s health vitality to make her increasingly more healthy.

After the meal, Lu Yu went to his private study and flipped through the second volume of the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method’ that he had just obtained. Incidentally, at the same time, news came from Zhou Zhongzheng. He had gathered a lot of information about the Nie family.

“Arrange a place to meet in private.” Zhou Zhongzheng’s tone was much more wary than before. With these terse words, he ended the call..
