Black Lotus - Chapter 84.1

”I’m sorry, Mrs. Lu, but if you are looking for a partnership with Qiyue just to force me to make Tang Shuo go away, I’m afraid to disappoint you. Although Qiyue Group isn’t as big as the Gu Corporation, I’m not going to use my brother to exchange for Qiyue’s future.”

“What did you say?”

Lunxuan looked down at the photo in his hand and said calmly, “Tang Shuo really likes Mr. Wen, I’ve been watching all these years. At first, when he knew that Mr. Wen married, he was very sad, but understood that Mr. Gu was the one that Mr. Wen loved. So he didn’t say anything. He is willing to let go as long as Mr. Wen is happy.”

“During that time, Tang Shuo seemed to have lost his soul. He said that Mr. Wen liked music, so he opened a music studio. Even though he missed him very much, he didn’t dare to disturb Mr. Wen’s marriage. Later, he said that when he saw Mr. Wen, he wasn’t happy, there was no smile on his face. Therefore, he wanted to save Mr. Wen from the swamp.”

Tang Lunxuan pretended to not notice Lu Yun’s surprised expression and continued, “I know Mr. Wen is married already. Tang Shuo isn’t good at this, but Mr. Gu doesn’t like Mr. Wen at all, in fact, he even hates him. So why can’t he let Mr. Wen leave?”

Hearing him say to let Wen Niannan leave, Lu Yun’s face immediately sank.

“How can you be so sure that Gu Yansheng doesn’t like Nian Nian? What do you know? Do you know how much Nian Nian has suffered because of Tang Shuo’s existence? Without Tang Shuo’s intrusion in their current relationship, it wouldn’t have turned out this way at all!”

Tang Lunxuan’s tone remained strong and his voice also involuntarily raised, “Thank you very much for your interest in Qiyue, but Qiyue doesn’t have the ability nor the luck. It seems like we can’t cooperate with the Gu Family.”

Seeing Tang Lunxuan’s tenacity and reluctance to compromise, Lu Yun suddenly laughed, but her eyes were full of coldness, “Oh, it seems that Qiyue group no longer intends to do business in Nation M.”

Tang Lunxuan froze and turned to look at her with wary, “What do you mean?”

“Mr. Tang, what would the outside world think, if Gu Family suddenly announced that the cooperation with Qiyue had ended? If it is announced that the Gu Family and Qiyue have turned against each other, do you think there will be people who would risk offending the Gu Family to cooperate with you?  “

“Mrs. Lu, is there the need for all this?”

Lu Yun looked at her coldly and said sternly, “Do you think that without some tactics, you can survive in this industry where people eat each other without even leaving the bones? Mr. Tang, being kind and soft is a big taboo, do you still dare to gamble the whole Qiyue for your brother?  “

“I”

…

Tang Lunxuan’s eyes flashed as he hesistated.

Qiyue Group was founded by Father Tang and Mother Tang when they were young. In order to allow Qiyue to slowly stand up, they suffered through all sorts of adversities. Qiyue was the blood and sweat of his parents, so he couldn’t let their hard work end in his hands.

On one side, there was his little spoiled brother. On the other side, there was the hard work of his parents. How could he choose? He couldn’t.

Lu Yun saw that Tang Lunxuan didn’t continue to say anything and knew that he didn’t dare to do this gamble.

“I hope you can warn Tang Shuo when you return. When Niannan is already married and is a member of the Gu Family. If he continues to ignore our warning and stick his nose in something he shouldn’t, I can’t guarantee that he will return home safe and sound next time after beating my son like that!  “

Tang Lunxuan looked at the indifferent Lu Yun with her sharp expression and then turned to look at Zhou Yuanfeng, who had been silent the whole time.

“I finally got to see Mrs. Lu’s famous tactics. To kill a snake you must hit the 7 inches mark. You are indeed impressive.”

Lu Yun’s eyes flickered slightly and lowered her voice, “I’m not trying to leave you with no choice. As long as you make Tang Shuo leave Wen Niannan alone, I wouldn’t target Qiyue. I chose Qiyue because I really like your abilities. Our cooperation between the two companies would only bring benefit and no harm.”

She was forcing Tang Lunxuan to choose, but she only let him one path. Only by choosing this one path could Tang Shuo and Qiyue be safe.

“This isn’t fair for Tang Shuo…”

“Mr. Tang, if Tang Shuo stays away from Nian Nian, nothing would happen to him and nothing would happen to Qiyue. Gu Yansheng and Nian Nian would both be fine too. For the safety of Qiyue, you shouldn’t let him get near Nian Nian. Perhaps I should warn you, if he really irritated Gu Yansheng, what do you think he’ll do to Tang Shuo?”

Seeing Tang Lunxuan speechless, Lu Yun said to Zhou Yuanfeng on the side, “Yuanfeng, send Mr. Tang out, I still have work to deal with.”

“Yes, Mrs. Lu.”

Tang Lunxuan looked blankly at the number on the elevator, not knowing what he was thinking.

“What do you think?” Zhou Yuanfeng suddenly asked.

Tang Lunxuan was a little startled. His eyes gleamed slightly and replied, “What do I think? She only left me with one choice. I can’t let anything happen to Qiyue and Tang Shuo. He shouldn’t be dragged down because of me.”

“Dragged down because of you? If he didn’t go find Wen Niannan in the first place, none of this would happen. You did this to protect him and the Qiyue Group.”

“He couldn’t control his love for Mr. Wen even after so many years, what can he do?  I know Tang Shuo is reckless, but he wouldn’t hit someone for no reason. In the pictures, the person who Mr. Gu always stands beside, I believe you and Mrs. Lu both know.”

You’re also a member of the Gu Family, so you obviously treat the company seriously. You wouldn’t know what’s more important between affection or interest.”

The elevator door opened and Tang Lunxuan walked in. Until the door closed, Zhou Yuanfeng was still standing there in a daze.
