Quick Transmigration: The Villainess Is a Sweetheart - Chapter 150
Although Miss’s blatant words of persuasion were touching, it wouldn’t be right to let her engage in flower theft.
What if Miss couldn’t find them?
So, Butler Lu accompanied Miss to go together.
In the hall, two baskets of freshly cut roses were placed on the floor. The maids were replacing the withered roses in the vases.
They arranged roses of different colors together, creating an attractive display. Suddenly, they turned around and saw Butler Lu carefully guiding Miss out. Their eyes widened in surprise!
They had no idea when the two had arrived! And they hadn’t even greeted them! Upon closer inspection, they noticed Miss was holding a rose!
The maids exchanged complex glances. Was this the kind of amusement rich people enjoyed? They couldn’t understand it at all…
Jiang Yan fumbled to remove the thorny leaves from the rose, leaving only the bud.
They had been so cautious earlier, tiptoeing to the flower baskets and grabbing a rose without even looking. Lu Tu glanced back and saw it was still a “Bride” variety rose.
But Jiang Yan handed him the rose and asked, “Do you like this one?”
Lu Tu didn’t mention that the flower was actually the same. He only knew that, in truth, he loved it every time.
…
Lu Tu’s father had contacted him several times, wanting him to return quickly and inherit the family business.
Lu’s Father was getting old and struggling to manage the business. His most capable eldest son had become the butler of the Tan family. He had also tried entrusting part of the business to his two illegitimate sons, but before the subordinates could even accept them, those two had already started putting on airs like they were the big bosses.
Within days of starting, they openly indulged in debauchery and gambling, and even messed up several partnerships! After causing chaos in the company, the two sons were kicked out by Lu’s Father.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔
So, he placed all his hopes on Lu Tu, who became his only promising son. But Lu Tu’s recent behavior was making Lu’s Father uneasy.
At first, when Lu Tu entered the manor, he maturely and confidently told his father not to worry, saying everything was under control and he’d be back soon.
But gradually, their communication time decreased. Lu Tu’s responses in their conversations became brief, his attitude slightly perfunctory. When asked, he would just say he had to pick roses for Miss, that he was busy and had no time!
This infuriated Lu’s Father! Those were multi-million dollar projects! How could picking a rose be more important?!
Later, Lu Tu suddenly told him that he would return soon and bring a daughter-in-law.
Although the Tan family’s Miss had poor eyesight, the Tan family’s status was enough to overshadow any flaws! Marrying the Tan family’s Miss would be an incredible stroke of luck for the Lu Family! Lu’s Father’s expectations soared!
However, when he called again that night, Lu Tu’s attitude had changed.
Lu Tu, sounding devastated and deeply hurt, said, “I’m not going back. I’ll stay here for the rest of my life, until Miss accepts me, or until Miss no longer wants me. Only then will I return.”
Lu’s Father, having been through his fair share of romantic entanglements, immediately recognized this as heartbreak.
His son was supposed to inherit the family business, but instead, he was lovesick! Lu’s Father was furious, his emotions unusually out of control, and he unleashed a torrent of abuse. After his outburst, he felt an unfamiliar stirring of fatherly love.
He racked his brains to give his eldest son advice on how to win the girl over quickly and return to inherit the business, but Lu Tu rejected each suggestion.
Lu Tu even righteously declared that those were all underhanded tactics, not true love, and that one shouldn’t treat the person they love that way.
Weren’t your earlier schemes against the young lady underhanded?! But Lu’s Father wasn’t as articulate as Lu Tu and couldn’t argue with him. Furious and unable to express himself, he surprisingly straightened up and once again took charge of the company.
He was determined to live on! He wanted to see how that ungrateful Lu brat would fare. With his limited abilities, how long would it take him to win over Miss Tan? Probably until hell freezes over!
