C27 I Want Her to Resign

The Lu family did not have the habit of serving servants. At such a large table, there was actually only Xu Lan and Lu Liangchen.

The two of them sat facing each other in silence, unable to speak. They had no choice but to eat in silence.

Xu Lan was about to open her mouth, but then she heard Lu Liangchen, who was standing opposite her, say, "Pack your luggage for these next two days. We'll go with Magnificent Tang in three days."

Although she had already heard the news from Zhou Ye, hearing it from Lu Liangchen's own mouth, Xu Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

As far as Lu Liangchen was concerned, she, Xu Lan, was still a person …

Xu Lan nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Seeing that she did not say much, Lu Liangchen added, "I'll be going for three months. I have everything I need."

Aunt Liu came in from outside and listened to this brainless sentence. She immediately said in surprise, "Young Mistress is going out?!"

Afraid that Aunt Liu would anger Lu Liangchen, Xu Lan hurriedly explained, "The company arranged for us to travel on business."

These words were not a lie. Whether or not Lu Liangchen asked Xu Lan to team up with him, Xu Lan was indeed going on a business trip. Moreover, it was arranged by the imperial court.

Aunt Liu calmed down, but quickly said nervously, "Three months isn't a short period of time. I'll go prepare it for Young Mistress right now."

Aunt Liu's words surprised Xu Lan.

It wasn't that she hadn't been out of work before. Although it had been a bit longer this time around, her luggage had always been packed by herself.

Seeing that Aunt Liu wanted to go to her room, Xu Lan hurriedly stood up and followed, "Aunt Liu, there's no need to trouble you. I can do it myself."

Aunt Liu was used to serving the Lu family. She immediately said, "Young Mistress, don't worry."

However, Aunt Liu had no choice but to follow Aunt Liu into the room, leaving only Lu Liangchen at the table.

Lu Liangchen glanced at the dishes on the table and suddenly felt that they were boring. He put down his chopsticks, got up and walked towards the living room.

The video phone at the door suddenly rang. Seeing Liu Shu in the camera, Lu Liangchen frowned and let her in.

Liu Shu had a smile on his face, "Brother Liang Chen, why are you the only one here? Where's elder sister Lan?"

Liu Shu had always been polite in front of Lu Liangchen.

His mother doted on Liu Shu, so Lu Liangchen wasn't as indifferent towards Liu Shu as he was before. However, he didn't directly answer Liu Shu's question. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Liu Shu's smile became even more brilliant as he placed the thing in his hand onto the tea table. "This is what Mom told me to give to Brother Liang Chen and Sister Lan. As for what it is, I'm afraid Brother Liang Chen will have to take a look for himself."

Liu Shu had intentionally tried to keep Lu Liangchen in suspense, but who knew that Lu Liangchen didn't want to continue speaking to her. He nodded, "Okay. If there's nothing else, I'll have someone send you out."

Liu Shu gritted his teeth. It was not easy for him to not lose his composure in front of Lu Liangchen.

She looked around, saw the two pairs of chopsticks on the table, and immediately came up with an idea.

Liu Shu took a step back, "Yes, I should go back, but …"

Liu Shu smiled and said to Lu Liangchen, "It's not polite to go back just like this. Say hi to sister Lan before leaving."

Lu Liangchen didn't expect Liu Shu to be so sure that Xu Lan was at home. Liu Shu's words weren't a big problem, but Lu Liangchen obviously didn't want Liu Shu and Xu Lan to meet.

He gave Liu Shu a nonchalant look, "There's no need. Xu Feng is packing her luggage upstairs. I'm afraid she won't be able to get down anytime soon."

Since Liu Shu could please Mother Lu, he must know how to read the atmosphere.

She smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be leaving first. I'll have to trouble Brother Liang Chen to inform Lan jie."

Seeing that Liu Shu didn't continue to pester him, Lu Liangchen nodded to show that he understood.

Liu Shu smiled as he walked out of the room. She had already received the news, she would accept it no matter what. Liu Shu was aware of this fact.

While thinking about this, Liu Shu sat in the back seat of the car and a meaningful smile appeared on his face along with the sound of the engine starting up.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was about to finish her vows, Xu Feng quickly stopped her.

She finally persuaded Aunt Liu to go downstairs, then followed her down the stairs with a sigh of relief.

Lu Liangchen sat on the sofa in the living room with his back to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan was standing on the stairs. She didn't know what Lu Liangchen was doing. All she could see was the dim light shining onto his back.

The shadow fell to the side of the sofa and was folded into a different angle.

Lu Liangchen was someone who would never let down his guard no matter what the situation was.

Xu Lan didn't stand there for long. Lu Liangchen seemed to have heard something and slowly turned his head. After a long silence, he said, "Don't go to the company for the next few days."

Xu Lan didn't know what Lu Liangchen was thinking, but she still agreed, "Okay, I'll go ask for a few days leave later."

Lu Liangchen sat on the sofa while Xu Lan stood in the stairwell. The two of them were in the same room, yet they were at a distance, close and distant at the same time.

Lu Liangchen was not satisfied with Xu Lan's answer. His gaze turned cold, "After I get back from Magnificent Tang, I don't need to go."

Xu Lan raised her head in disbelief, "What?"

Lu Liangchen's expression became impatient, "Didn't you hear what I just said? "I said, when you come back from the crew, you don't need to go to work in the imperial court anymore."

Xu Lan was stunned for a moment, while Lu Liangchen silently watched her.

This decision was not just a whim of Lu Liangchen. He already had the idea of making Xu Lan resign.

The dignified CEO and Madam Chasing Wind, going to work at the opposite company, what's this supposed to be?!

Lu Liangchen looked at Xu Lan, waiting for her reaction.

But contrary to Lu Liangchen's expectations, when Xu Lan opened her mouth again, her expression was surprisingly calm. "Is this what you mean, or is it the imperial court's idea?"

Lu Liangchen calmly replied, "Of course I mean it. Marry into the Lu family and you still need to work under Zhou Ye? "

Xu Lan's face turned slightly pale. She held onto the railing and asked, "Why didn't you say that two years ago?"

Lu Liangchen didn't give Xu Lan any chance to catch her breath, "It's always the same when you say it, but now is just the right time."

Xu Lan frowned as she looked at Lu Liangchen. She thought that Lu Liangchen wouldn't mind having a job in the imperial court. After all, Lu Liangchen's previous performance was just like that.

However, the sudden request caught Xu Lan off guard.

Xu Lan spoke again, "What if I say no?"

This answer had clearly fallen into Lu Liangchen's hands. He smiled lightly and stood up, "If you say no, then I will say no to Xu Zhou as well."

Xu Lan seemed to have been hit by something as her body shook violently. Fortunately, she was still holding onto the railing, which allowed her to be fine.
