Chapter 242 A Steadfast CP Protector
"Was Miss He Yan's choice truly based on her own heart?"
Lu Yanzhe stared intently at He Yan.
He desperately wanted to see a different answer in her eyes, but He Yan's eyes remained indifferent.
"But I have ambitions. Since I've come to Beijing, I want to reshuffle the deck."
This is why Lu Yanzhe did not explicitly reject Bo Yuanzhou.
Even if he proposes a marriage alliance.
He wanted many things, including He Yan.
So even though he knew this path was difficult, and even though he might lose everything, he didn't want to give up.
"Having ambition is good, but I also believe that I will not lose."
He Yan smiled and looked back at Lu Yanzhe, as if she thought it was perfectly normal.
She was not a bystander; she was also a competitor occupying a certain position.
Therefore, whether Lu Yanzhe joins or not, it will not affect the original situation.
It's just a little more complicated.
What she and Bo Siheng needed to do was to keep the situation under their control before Bo Yuanzhou and Lu Yanzhe completely joined forces.
Bo Siheng walked over at this moment.
He knew He Yan was trying to smooth things over for him, but he was still very unhappy.
Lu Yanzhe's expression was so smug.
"Mr. Lu, the banquet is ready, please take your seats!"
"Please, Mr. Bo!"
Lu Yanzhe showed no fear whatsoever, since he wasn't the one who was embarrassed.
If his appearance could displease Bo Siheng, he would consider it a testament to his own abilities.
He Yan could tell that Bo Siheng was on the verge of exploding.
She walked over and took his hand, her eyes sparkling.
"You don't need to worry about Lu Yanzhe. Although the Bo family and the Lu family are competitors, they are not complete enemies. His pride prevents him from having any underhanded schemes, so cooperation is necessary."
He Yan knew Bo Siheng's petty nature all too well, so she had to take the initiative to make things clear.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to get stuck on a single point.
“But the Bo family is your home turf. You just need to keep your second uncle in check and prevent him from causing trouble through the cooperation. Turn this cooperation into a threat that he can use against you.”
"Madam has thought of everything and made all the plans for me, so of course I can only listen to her."
Bo Siheng was still arrogant, but his lips had turned pouty.
He really enjoyed He Yan's coaxing.
If she takes even one point of initiative, he can make up the remaining 99 points.
This made him feel that his future seemed clear.
At a private banquet.
Bo Yuanzhou continued to flatter Lu Yanzhe.
He's now going to pursue a two-pronged approach, and whichever plan succeeds will only benefit him.
"President Lu, the Bo and Lu families are old acquaintances. Whether it's cooperation or marriage, it's all for the sake of common development, wouldn't you agree?"
He glanced at Bo Siheng intentionally, worried that he might stop him.
It was also to test whether the two were secretly involved.
Bo Siheng smiled, finding his second uncle's eagerness amusing.
Based on his understanding of Lu Yanzhe, there's probably much to discuss about this.
"President Lu, please don't be shy. My grandmother is getting old, and the doctor advised her to eat a light diet, so today's dishes are all prepared according to her taste."
He was deliberately targeting Lu Yanze; even the dishes on the table were different.
After giving a perfunctory reply, Bo Siheng turned around and served He Yan some food.
"Knowing that your tastes have been changing lately, I specially asked the kitchen to make a few of your usual favorite dishes."
"Mr. Bo, you're too kind. I often eat light meals with my grandma too."
Lu Yanzhe gave a forced smile, seemingly unconcerned.
Zheng Jiarong looked up at the people at the table; everyone had a different expression.
She subtly gave her husband a wink.
When President Lu came to visit today, he not only clarified the marriage arrangement to save face for them, but also deliberately provoked the old lady, bringing up their old grudges. However, he suddenly brought He Yan along, looking quite provocative.
Having witnessed so much in the world of women, she naturally understood the key to this matter.
President Lu clearly cares a lot about He Yan!
Does this mean the two of them have a past?
"He Yan, it's been almost two months since you married into the Bo family. Your second aunt intends to take you out to socialize, which is also for the Bo family's sake. But your second aunt is also curious about how you met President Lu?"
Zheng Jiarong also comes from a prestigious family, and she has a keen eye for people.
This was done to warn He Yan and remind her of her place.
They even went so far as to sow discord between the couple and make the old lady disgusted.
Furthermore, she genuinely felt that Lu Yanzhe's identity was very good and wanted him to have reservations about He Yan.
This way, his daughter would have a chance.
The marriage was for the husband's sake, but even more so for the daughter's.
"You are, after all, a married person. You should be more mindful of your status when you're out in public."
"Oh, Auntie's reminder is very good. You don't need to say it next time."
He Yan was in a good mood and only glanced at Zheng Jiarong indifferently when she heard her words, completely unconcerned.
She has heard countless rumors and gossip since she was a child.
If she minds everything, how tiring must her life be?
“I received your concern on behalf of Xiaoyan, but I think that as the head of the Bo family, my wife has the right to be willful. She doesn’t need to worry about anyone no matter where she is.”
Bo Siheng put down his chopsticks, turned around, and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
How could he not tell?
The second aunt deliberately linked He Yan with Lu Yanzhe.
“If she has to be mindful of other people’s opinions when she goes out, then I, as her husband, am failing in my duty.”
He Yan wanted to say something, but after hearing Bo Siheng's words, she felt that she didn't need to say anything.
There were times when she could watch him protect her with peace of mind.
Yes, men are especially handsome at times like this!
Bo Jingning had always kept a low profile and remained relatively unknown.
But she knew that President Lu had ill intentions and she couldn't let him ruin her brother's marriage.
Although she still didn't like He Yan.
"President Lu is the richest man in the country, just like my brother. Shouldn't he be thinking about making more money? How can he have such an immoral ambition? His words and actions make people very uncomfortable."
Bo Yuanzhou frowned, feeling that his daughter was being a bit too outspoken.
How can he possibly talk to President Lu about this now?
Zheng Jiarong held her daughter's hand, shook her head, and remained silent.
In order for her husband to seize control of the Bo family business, she chose to have her daughter endure it.
Lu Yanzhe found it somewhat amusing; everyone was so openly and blatantly feigning politeness, how could he possibly be absent?
"How could knowing Miss He Yan be a mistake? This seems unfair to both of us. I don't think Mr. Bo is such a petty person as to restrict his friends."
"Of course not, I will only support my wife."
Bo Siheng smiled on the outside, but he was extremely unhappy inside.
He felt that everyone else was acceptable, but Lu Yanzhe was absolutely out of the question.
Bo Yuanzhou suddenly spoke up from the side.
"I remember that Mr. Lu has been single all these years. I wonder what his thoughts are on finding a partner?"
"I don't have any ideas yet, probably because I haven't met my ideal type yet."
Lu Yanzhe's gaze swept over He Yan intentionally or unintentionally.
Her indifferent expression couldn't hide the passion in her heart and her attraction to him.
"Like Miss He Yan."
"Hmph, the Lu family certainly has high standards, but it's a pity that a good girl like Xiaoyan is not someone you can meet."
Madam Bo had remained silent until this time when she finally couldn't hold back any longer.
The young master of the Lu family actually covets He Yan?
"Xiao Yan is the future mistress of the Bo family whom I have approved. No one else can take her away!"
Moreover, she was also very dissatisfied that the second son's family wanted to sacrifice Jingning for a marriage alliance.
This bastard is really going too far!
"Aheng, I'm tired. Let's end the hospitality here for today. You and Xiaoyan are newlyweds, so let's not take up your time together tonight. Nothing else matters."
Madam Bo gestured to her grandson with her eyes, her smile full of pride.
She's a staunch protector of the CP!
