After Song Mei left, Mr. Song looked at the portrait of his deceased wife in the living room, pondered for a while, and went to the study to make a phone call.
"Lao Song, why did you think of calling me at this time?"
The person who received the call was a little surprised and a little happy.
At their age, they have fewer and fewer friends, so they must cherish the few old friends they have.
Mr. Song laughed. "I can't call you if nothing happens? Then I'm going to hang up."
"Don't hang up, don't hang up. I'm free right now. You have to chat with me for a while."
The old man opposite became anxious and spoke much faster.
Mr. Song chatted with the man for a while, and finally got to the point, "Old Lu, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Did Song Mei offend your boss?"
"Old Song, why do you say that? Did the boss do something he shouldn't have done? I'll call him and teach him a lesson in a minute!"
"Not really, it's just that I heard people down there saying that your boss is sending someone to investigate Song Mei's former driver, so I wanted to ask if Song Mei is involved.
You know, my little daughter has always been a worry to me, and I can't do anything about her. If she says she has offended your eldest son, I will apologize to you on her behalf, so don't bother with her."
Mr. Lu's voice gradually became serious.
"Don't worry, I'll call the boss first. He's been busy working out of town all year round, and I haven't seen him for a long time. I really don't know about this."
"Old Lu, thank you for your help."
"Don't say that. We are all brothers who have walked out of the hail of bullets. I'll make a call now. Wait for my news."
Mr. Lu hung up the phone and slammed the table angrily.
The eldest brother is so ignorant. Even if Song Mei from the Song family has offended him, he should have informed an old man like me before investigating.
And if you want to investigate, why not do it in private?
They had to investigate it openly and in a high-profile manner, and now they are being questioned in front of their faces.
The more Mr. Lu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately called Old Lu Zhengxing.
Lu Zhengxing was working at the time. When he heard the phone ringing, he instinctively wanted to hang up. However, he saw that it was the old man at home calling. He did not dare to neglect it and picked up the phone immediately.
Before he could even open his mouth after the call was connected, he heard Mr. Lu's angry roar from the other side.
"Lu Zhengxing! Look at what you have done!"
Hearing the old man's full-bodied voice, Lu Zhengxing felt relieved. After a pause, he asked in confusion, "Dad, what did I do?"
"How dare you say that? If Old Song hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known you did such a stupid thing. You've really embarrassed me!"
"Uncle Song? Is this matter related to Uncle Song?"
"Pretend! Pretend again!"
"Dad, I really don't know!" Lu Zhengxing said aggrievedly, "Even if you sentence me to death, you have to let me know the truth!"
"Okay, then let me ask you, why did you ask someone to investigate Song Mei? How did she offend you?"
"Song Mei? When did I ask someone to investigate Song Mei? I don't even know it myself."
"You do not know?"
"Dad, I've been busy with attracting investment recently and haven't been home for a few days. A-Lian is almost nagging me to death, so I don't have the time to investigate Song Mei.
Besides, I am thousands of miles away from the capital, and even if Song Mei is capable of causing trouble, she won’t cause trouble to me, so I really don’t know what happened.”
Mr. Lu was also confused.
"It has nothing to do with you? Then why did Old Song say that it was you who was investigating Song Mei? Could it be that he made a mistake?"
Lu Qixing frowned and waited for a while, then suddenly remembered something, "Dad, I remember there is another person who can mobilize the connections of my subordinates. Do you think it could be..."
"Xiao Liu?"
After Lu Zhengxing's reminder, Mr. Lu finally thought of another possibility.
He was even more confused. "Xiao Liu followed Xingchen to Yuncheng, how could he think of..."
He stopped talking midway.
Lu Qixing took over the conversation from the other side, "Butler Liu definitely can't make the decision alone. I think this matter was most likely Lu Xingchen's idea."
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't talk nonsense without evidence."
Mr. Lu was unhappy.
His eldest grandson is not the kind of naughty person.
Lu Zhengxing was hurt by Mr. Lu's double standard behavior, "Dad, didn't you have no evidence when you said that about me just now?"
"How come there is no evidence? Just say that the people who went to investigate Song Mei are your people!"
"Yes, but..."
"No buts, this is all your fault, just work and atone for your sins. I'm hanging up now!"
beep...
When Lu Zhengxing heard the busy tone on the phone, he felt like crying but had no tears.
Mr. Lu was also in a dilemma after hanging up the phone.
Ever since his eldest grandson left the capital to study in Yuncheng, he has had less contact with him. He knows that his eldest grandson has some resentment towards them in his heart.
In his opinion, he was expelled from the capital by them.
It’s not that Mr. Lu doesn’t want to explain the interests behind the matter to his eldest grandson, but in order to protect him, they still choose to conceal it.
If he calls to ask about the Song family now, the eldest grandson may not be willing to tell him.
So he hesitated for a moment and finally called Butler Liu.
"Mr. Lu."
Butler Liu was not very surprised when he received the call. He had long expected that it would attract the attention of the Jingba family. He just thought that the person calling would be Lu Zhengxing, but he didn't expect it to be the old man of the Lu family.
"Xiao Liu, how is Xingchen doing in school recently? Is he doing well? Is he eating well? Have you made any new friends?"
When Mr. Lu talks about his eldest grandson, he talks nonstop.
In fact, he knew that Butler Liu would always reply with the same few sentences, such as the young master eats well and lives well in school, and no one dares to bully the young master.
But he always had to hear these words before he could feel at ease.
"Mr. Lu, I was just about to tell you a piece of good news. The young master scored 503 points in the mock exam at Yuncheng No. Middle School, ranking eighth in the class!"
"How many?"
Mr. Lu stood up suddenly.
Because he stood up too quickly and lacked blood supply, he almost fell down. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and grabbed the table to avoid falling.
Butler Liu was startled when he heard the noise, "Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu? Are you okay? Mr. Lu?"
"I'm fine. Can you tell me again how many points Xingchen got in the exam?"
Mr. Lu’s mind is now completely focused on Lu Xingchen’s scores, and he can’t care about anything else.
"503 points!"
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my Lu Xiong's grandson. You can tell from the first glance that you are a good student!"
Mr. Lu was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high.
He had been paying attention to Lu Xingchen's grades, and had never held out any hope for Lu Xingchen to get into college. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, Lu Xingchen suddenly gave him a big surprise.
He wanted to call all his relatives and friends right now to tell them the good news.
"Mr. Lu, the reason why the young master was able to get such a high score this time is thanks to Miss Yusheng."
