“Why were you reminded of him suddenly?”

“Just curious.”

“I’ve heard from Di Yi that he will be returning soon. He was progressing well overseas, and it seemed like Uncle Di wanted him to return home. It seemed like Di An didn’t like the Di Family, and has delayed coming back for half a year,” Gu Xin continued. “Di Yi didn’t have a good relationship with Di An. It must be because Di An was the son of Uncle Di’s mistress. I don’t think Di An should return as well, else Di Yi wouldn’t be happy about it.”

Lu Manman looked at Gu Xin.

Gu Xin noticed it, and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Lu Manman looked away.

Gu Xin didn’t like to scheme and plot against others. It was tiring for her to do so. Hence, it had been easy for Di Yi to plot against her in her previous life.

The car reached the Lu Family’s house quickly.

Lu Manman got off, and told Gu Xin to drive slowly before going into the house.

Her parents were in the living room.

Her father worked in the Lu Firm. He had risen to a high position after his years of service. Since they had hired a CEO for the company, he didn’t have to work so hard as the president. He was also at the age where he wanted to spend more time with his wife. Hence, he was at home more often now.

When they saw Lu Manman, Lu Zishan asked, “I’ve heard from your mom that you angered Old Master?”

“Dad, I didn’t anger him. He was trying to make things difficult for us.” Lu Manman whined as she walked to her dad and leaned on him. “I just had to retort to some of the things he said.”

“Your mom told me everything. You shouldn’t have angered him.”

“Dad, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I won’t really anger Grandpa. I understand that you love him a lot. I just wanted to teach the second uncle a lesson, or they would think that we should bow down to their every command. They are leeching off us, and yet they order us around. I can’t stand their behavior,” Lu Manman said angrily.

“You weren’t like this last time.”

“That’s in the past. I’m not like this now. Dad, don’t worry, I won’t let them climb over our heads anymore,” Lu Manman said confidently.

Lu Zishan shook his head and smiled. He then said, “Alright, but don’t go overboard.”

“I know,” Lu Manman said smilingly. She knew her parents would agree to everything.

“Oh, right. Xiuwen, Dad’s birthday is coming in half a month. Have you thought of what we should give him?” Lu Zishan asked He Xiuwen as he turned to her.

He Xiuwen shook her head, and replied, “Your dad is really picky. I’m scared to buy gifts for him.”

“It’s not hard,” Lu Manman interrupted.

“Do you have a good suggestion?” Lu Zishan asked joyfully.

“Allowing Lu Xuanran to work in Lu Firm would be the best gift for grandpa,” Lu Manman said slowly.

Lu Zishan frowned, and replied, “I don’t want to let Lu Xuanran into the company. He wouldn’t be a good fit.”

“That’s why I want him to be in. Dad, he’s a loser, and we need to take advantage of that. Don’t worry, I’ll monitor him.”

“How would you monitor him?”

“I’ll enter the company too.”

“Are you agreeing to work for the company?” Lu Zishan asked excitedly.

He had tried to ask her to take on a role in the company in the past, but to no avail.

Lu Manman had just wanted to be a good wife to Wen Yun, and hadn’t wanted to take over her father’s company. She had felt that Wen Yun would be able to help her manage the company well given his capabilities.

In her previous life, he had done exactly that, just that he had managed it as his company!

“Yes, I agree to enter the company. I will help you,” Lu Manman said sincerely.

Lu Zishan patted her shoulders, and said, “You’re my only daughter. I’m glad now that you’re willing to take over the family’s business.”

“I was young and naive,” Lu Manman said as she teared up.

In her previous life, her dad wouldn’t force her even though she rejected his offer.

If she hadn’t told him about her intentions, she wouldn’t have known how much he wanted her to take over the company.

Lu Manman could feel her heart aching.

She was never going to disappoint people important to her in this life.

She was also never going to forgive anyone that bullied her!
