Chapter 853

“How is the Lu family’s situation now?” Chen Meng’er temporarily put aside the matter between her and Yuwen Jing and asked about the Lu family.

“Little Miss, you guessed right. The higher-ups are still prepared to protect the Lu family.” Zhou Yunjie did not expect his little miss to be so smart.

The higher-ups last time were in front of them, but they almost raised their hands to guarantee it. He thought that in order to avoid suspicion, he would not interfere in the matters of the Lu family. However, the development of the matter was beyond his expectations. In the past two days, the matters of the Lu family seemed to have some leeway.

Zhou Yunjie went to investigate. The person who was causing trouble in the middle was actually the one at the top. Later, Zhou Yunjie’s mind turned and he understood. The situation of the Lu family was now dire.

However, Zhou Yunjie also didn’t understand why the person at the top would make a move to save the Lu family at this time. One had to know that saving the Lu family now wouldn’t benefit him at all. Moreover, the general election was in front of him. If he did this, he wasn’t afraid of putting his future at risk.

Zhou Yunjie could not figure it out, so he subconsciously asked this question.

After Chen Meng’er heard Zhou Yunjie’s question, she smiled sweetly, but it caught Zhou Yunjie’s eyes. Many people could not resist Chen Meng’er’s smile. “You don’t know this. It’s because the general election is coming, and he doesn’t want to put his future at risk, that’s why he came up with this plan. Do you think he’s willing to step out and save the Lu family at this time? He had no choice. If he didn’t save the Lu family, the elder of the Lu family would be court-martialed and the first person he would expose would be him.” The other party had done it too secretly, and Chen Meng’er had made the Green Gang’s intelligence network deliberately avoid the government and the army. Therefore, the Green Gang didn’t have much information on this area.

However, Chen Meng’er did not need to do this to guess what would happen next. That was because she had learned from Zhou Yunjie that the elder of the Lu family had been in a very stable mood ever since he had been locked up. He did not seem to be afraid at all. The Lu family had disappeared from the capital.

That meant that the elder of the Lu family had something that he thought was very powerful for the Lu family.

“Come, Let’s go to the Qu family,” Chen Meng’er said to Zhou Yunjie.

Some people in the Qu family were happy about Chen Meng’er’s arrival, while others were annoyed.

However, even if some people were so annoyed by Chen Meng’er that they wanted her to disappear from this world immediately, they did not dare show it.

Qu Yaotao had warned Cao Feiying a long time ago. No matter how much dissatisfaction she had towards Chen Meng’er, she had to suck it up. If she provoked Elder Qu and Chen Meng’er was unhappy, then their marriage would come to an end. Cao Feiying was hurt quite badly by Qu Yaotao’s words.

However, she did not dare have any more objections because she knew that her husband was a man of his word.

Moreover, her mother’s family had not been having a good time recently and the company had been failing continuously. Now that her elder brother was busy taking care of himself, how could he still have the time to care about his younger sister? Therefore, Cao Feiying had calmed down quite a bit in the Qu family during this period of time.

“Little girl, stay for dinner tonight. In a while, Grandma will personally keep an eye on the chef and have them cook your favorite dishes.” Madam Qu was not as thick-skinned as Elder Qu. He went to the Green Gang all day long. However, Madam Qu did not stop nagging in front of her husband. To tell her husband not to always focus on himself and to let Chen Meng’er come to the Qu family more often.
