Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 92

Lu Zhenting watched his uncle’s expressionless face, his heart pounding nervously. He couldn’t tell whether his uncle believed him or not. “Uncle, please trust me. I would never dare betray you. It’s Leos who’s deliberately sowing discord, provoking us to fight among ourselves so he can profit from our conflict.”

“I’m not sowing discord. I admit I despise Third Master Lu, which is why I agreed without hesitation when you approached me for cooperation. But I never expected you’d be too cowardly to admit it, you’re nothing but an untrustworthy scoundrel, utterly despicable!” Leos fumed, veins bulging on his forehead.

“The person I’ve admired most since childhood is my uncle. No matter how much you try to drive a wedge between us, it’s useless,” Lu Zhenting declared with a straight face.

Though he didn’t understand why Leos was so terrified of his uncle, he knew he had to convince his uncle to believe him now.

Even if he failed to seize control of the Lu Corporation, he could still provide Yanyan with a comfortable life.

But if he were expelled from the Lu family, how could he ever pursue Yanyan?

With Leos’ men captured by his uncle, he had lost any chance to overthrow him!

“Ding Fan, hand Leos over to you. Record every detail of their scheme thoroughly,” Lu Jingchen said coolly, casting a brief glance at Leos. “You’d better confess everything you know.”

“Yes, sir,” Ding Fan replied, raising his right hand and gesturing behind him. Immediately, two men stepped forward and escorted Leos away.

“Now, explain why you conspired with an outsider to harm me. If you wanted the Lu Corporation, you could have just told me.”

Lu Jingchen pressed his fingers against his temples, eyes closed as he enjoyed his own massage. He didn’t even spare Lu Zhenting a sidelong glance.

Seeing that his uncle not only dismissed his explanations but directly questioned his motives, Lu Zhenting panicked.

Why else? It was all for the Lu Corporation!

If he could have just asked for it, wouldn’t he have? But he didn’t dare.

“Uncle, I’m your nephew, not your enemy. I was deceived by Leos into making a mistake. Please, don’t kill me.”

“You’re afraid I’ll kill you? Then why conspire with outsiders to harm me?”

“Why? Because you’re so domineering! I merely spoke up for someone I deeply care about, and you exiled me abroad? Ye Qianqian is just a country bumpkin, she doesn’t deserve…”

Lu Zhenting wanted to say more, but under his uncle’s icy glare, he quickly fell silent.

“She is my wife, your aunt. You don’t have to like her, but you will not slander her. Offending me might be forgivable, but if you speak ill of her again, you’ll lose your tongue. Remember, she is my bottom line.”

As he spoke, Lu Jingchen personally delivered several kicks to Lu Zhenting, who cried out in pain, “Uncle, stop! I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!”

“Where did you go wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have collaborated with Leos. I shouldn’t have tried to seize control of the Lu Corporation.” Lu Zhenting pleaded, tears and snot streaming down his face.

“Fool, you didn’t listen to a word I said. If you hadn’t insulted your aunt earlier, I might have let it slide. Understand?”

“…”

His uncle’s words were so straightforward, yet how had he failed to grasp them?

He had conspired with Leos against his uncle, and his uncle was willing to overlook it.

But just because he called Ye Qianqian a “country bumpkin,” his uncle had beaten him black and blue?

Oh no!

He seemed to have said that Ye Qianqian wasn’t worthy of Third Uncle.

Was he really that infatuated with Ye Qianqian?!

“Considering your parents’ face, I won’t cripple you this time.” Lu Jingchen frowned and called out, “Someone!”

The butler of the Lu Manor hurriedly approached with a bow. “Sir, what are your orders?”

“Arrange for someone to send him back to the Lu family overnight and inform his parents of everything he’s done.” After saying this, Lu Jingchen turned and left.

He had only brought Ding Fan out to deal with the matter of Leos while Ye Qianqian was asleep, and now he needed to hurry home to be with his wife.

She had never traveled far from home before, and leaving her alone to sleep in the manor made him uneasy.

If he hadn’t seen how exhausted she was, he would have insisted on keeping her by his side.

Lu Zhenting watched Lu Jingchen’s retreating figure, his anger and resentment boiling over as he slammed his fist hard against the ground.

He muttered under his breath, “No, I can’t just slink back like this. Boyu, think of something quickly!”

Sang Boyu looked at him with concern. “Young Master Ting, we should just go back! If your Third Uncle changes his mind…”

Lu Zhenting shook his head. “I promised Yanyan that when I returned, I’d make sure she could hold her head high. If I’m sent back under escort, how could I face her?”

“Young Master Ting, even if we don’t go back now, we can’t stir up any trouble. Didn’t you see how even Leos was afraid of Third Uncle?”

“The Leos family has immense influence. I don’t understand why he’d be afraid of him. Just because he’s a devil? Because he goes mad?”

“…”

Sang Boyu nearly shouted at Lu Zhenting, “Aren’t you crazy enough yourself? Is anyone afraid of you?”

For the sake of his own life, Sang Boyu decided it was best to return home first and then stay far away from Lu Zhenting.

He could only offer comforting words. “Young Master Ting, don’t worry. As long as your feelings for Miss Ye are genuine, she’ll surely be happy to see you.”

Lu Zhenting nodded. “You’re right. I should go back to find Yanyan.

Since that day, Yanyan hasn’t called me again. She must be considerate and not wanting to disturb me while I’m handling important matters.

But I’ve let her down. Ah! I truly have no face to see her!”

Just then, Lu Zhenting’s phone suddenly rang. He pulled it out and saw an unfamiliar number. Irritated, he asked, “Who is this?”

“Waaah, Brother Zhenting, come back quickly and save me! Song Yuntao has ordered me to be confined. Waaah…”

“Yanyan, don’t cry. I’ll come save you right away. Song Yuntao has gone too far.”

“How soon is ‘right away’? You have to buy a plane ticket, then get to the airport and wait. Even the fastest would take two days. Brother Zhenting, I’m going to die. I can’t wait a moment longer. Waaah…”

“Yanyan, I’ll take the private jet. It’s on the manor’s helipad. I’ll see you in about 11 hours.”

“Brother Zhenting, I’ll be waiting for you to save me. Without you, I really don’t know what to do… Waaah…”

After hanging up, Lu Zhenting shouted, “Butler, pack my bags quickly! I’m going home!”

“Young Master Ting, your luggage is already packed.” The butler hurriedly carried a suitcase.

Behind him followed two bodyguards, each holding two suitcases. They had packed all of Lu Zhenting’s clothes.

The group quickly boarded the plane, with Lu Zhenting sitting alone in his seat, fuming.

Lu Jingchen rushed back to his private manor, expecting to find Ye Qianqian waiting for him, but she was nowhere in sight. Surprised, he asked, “Where is my wife?”

“Sir, the mistress hasn’t come out of the bedroom,” a bodyguard reported respectfully.

“But there’s no one in the bedroom! The mistress is gone? What have you all been doing?” Lu Jingchen’s roar pierced through the sky.
