The President Made Me Trend - Chapter 374

“Yucheng, I only believe that without you, I would never be happy for the rest of my life.” Ran Shuya looked at him with sincere eyes.

Lu Yucheng’s expression darkened a bit. Remembering the scene he had just witnessed of Lu Xuan putting a ring on Mo Qinghuan’s finger, the taste of despair swept over his already shattered heart.

“Alright then, let’s do as Father said and start preparing for the engagement ceremony.” Lu Yucheng finally agreed, but before Ran Shuya could rejoice, he continued, “But I don’t want to be disturbed by gossip, so I want the ceremony to be as simple as possible. Ideally, just the two families sitting down for a meal together. But this might make you feel wronged.”

“It won’t. A warm, harmonious ceremony without too many outsiders-I’m willing to keep it simple.” Even though the love she had secretly harbored for so many years was finally coming true and Ran Shuya couldn’t wait to announce the news to the whole world, since Lu Yucheng objected, she could only reluctantly agree.

Anyway, the most important thing was that Lu Yucheng had agreed to get engaged to her. Everything else could be ignored.

Looking at Ran Shuya’s face, unable to suppress her joy, Lu Yucheng’s heart, however, was very calm, as if there wasn’t the slightest ripple.

Late at night, Mo Qinghuan lay on the hospital bed. The intense pain in her right leg numbed her nerves. Because of her earlier strenuous movements, not only had the cast on her leg cracked, but even the bone that had finally healed was injured again. Now her pain was twice as bad as before.

“Qinghuan, if you really can’t bear it, I’ll go find a doctor to give you a painkiller shot. Don’t force yourself.” Huo-Jie was beside her, looking at Mo Qinghuan’s pale little face from the pain, feeling heartbroken.

“I’m fine, Huo-Jie. Enduring a little pain now and then is also a way to train one’s patience, isn’t it?” Mo Qinghuan once again gently declined Huo-Jie’s kindness, her eyes fixed on the dark moonlight outside the window, making it impossible to know what she was thinking.

Huo-Jie could tell she was deliberately tormenting herself and was anxious. Looking at her cool profile, Huo-Jie wanted to say something but ultimately didn’t know how to start, so she could only sigh silently.

The next day.

After Lu Yucheng compromised, as a reward, Father Lu decided to let Lu Yucheng return to the Lu Group, with him and Lu Xuan each holding half of the Lu family’s power.

Outside the Lu Group building, two equally distinguished black private cars arrived almost simultaneously. Lu Xuan got out of the car, a cold smile at the corner of his eyes, looking toward the other car where Lu Yucheng, dressed in a suit, was deliberately waiting for him to get out.

When the stern-faced Lu Yucheng got out and ignored Lu Xuan, fastening his suit buttons, Lu Xuan stepped forward and mocked, “Using marriage as a bargaining chip to regain your place in the Lu Group-this doesn’t seem like your style, Lu Yucheng. But I have to say, it seems you’ve finally done something to make Father happy.”

As early as last night, Lu Yucheng’s engagement to Ran Shuya had reached Lu Xuan’s ears. He had thought that, given Lu Yucheng’s stubborn character, he would definitely refuse the marriage arranged by Father Lu, but unexpectedly, he agreed? This surprised Lu Xuan somewhat, but he also seemed to foresee Lu Yucheng’s purpose in re-entering the Lu Group.

“It’s not my style-do you mean it’s yours?” Facing Lu Xuan’s mockery, Lu Yucheng replied coldly, his eyes glancing at Lu Xuan’s obviously angry face as he continued, “Thanks for your anonymous invitation yesterday. It let me witness a scene I might remember for the rest of my life.”

Deliberately exposing Lu Xuan’s schemes right in front of him, Lu Yucheng’s demeanor was full of disdain.

But Lu Xuan just smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying that it was his doing. However, behind him, Secretary Wang’s face suddenly showed a few traces of lingering fear.

“By the way, I heard your engagement ceremony with Shuya is set for two days from now? That’s a pity-Qinghuan had an accident yesterday, her leg injury worsened, so she probably can’t attend as a member of the Lu family.” Deliberately telling Lu Yucheng about Mo Qinghuan’s worsening injury, Lu Xuan waited for his response with a playful attitude.

Sure enough, Lu Yucheng first frowned, a flash of worry in his eyes, but then quickly returned to indifference and replied, “She’s your fiancée now. How to arrange things should be up to you. But given our past relationship, it’s only right that she doesn’t attend, to avoid upsetting Father and Mom.”

“That’s true. After all, she’s your ex-wife. Even though you’re divorced, those feelings can’t be forgotten so quickly. If such a sacred engagement ceremony were ruined, wouldn’t Shuya blame me for life?” Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and sneered.

But Lu Yucheng clearly didn’t want to tangle with him any further and strode toward the long-missed building.

The two of them, with completely different temperaments, entered the Lu Group building-one gentle as jade, all smiles; the other still cold, handsome and dashing. Their simultaneous appearance made the female staff in the lobby swoon. Were these two brothers finally about to compete head-on for the Lu Group’s inheritance?

On the top floor, Lu Yucheng stood outside the office where he used to work, but which now belonged to Lu Xuan, his gaze gloomy.

Secretary Wang kindly stepped forward to remind him, “Wait a moment, this office now belongs to Mr. Lu.”

“Hey, Secretary Wang, don’t butt in. We’re brothers-what difference does it make who stays here? It’s just an office.” Lu Xuan seemed to deliberately interrupt Secretary Wang, then pointed at the office and said to Lu Yucheng:

“Yucheng, if you still want this office, just let me know.”

“No need. I’m afraid the space you’ve used is too full of germs and would contaminate my living environment.” He snorted coldly and turned to enter the room opposite Lu Yucheng’s.

Although Old Master’s decision last night was sudden, money can make the devil turn millstones. Having someone work overnight to build an equally luxurious and high-end office opposite Lu Xuan’s was no difficulty at all for Father Lu.

Watching Lu Yucheng’s cold back as he left, Lu Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists and raised his eyebrows. He asked Secretary Wang behind him nonchalantly, “Do you think Old Master is deliberately reminding me of something by doing this?”

“In my opinion, Old Master seems very dissatisfied with Mr. Lu making decisions on his own, especially proposing to Miss Mo.”

Even Secretary Wang could see that Father Lu only doted on those who followed the rules and pleased him. But Lu Xuan insisted on being with Mo Qinghuan. The reason Father Lu initially turned a blind eye was that he thought Lu Xuan was just playing around.

But who would have thought that he would propose in public, letting the whole world know that Mo Qinghuan first married Lu Yucheng and was now going to marry Lu Xuan, making the Lu Group a laughingstock? Father Lu couldn’t stand it anymore, so he arranged for Lu Yucheng to return to the Lu Group?

After hearing Secretary Wang’s words, Lu Xuan curled his lips into a sly smile. “Such an Old Master and Lu Yucheng are really annoying, don’t you think?”
