Chapter 256: Father Lu’s Plan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mrs. Lu was obviously a little flustered. She quickly asked Mr. Lu for details. “Hubby, did you get the situation wrong? Hasn’t Xiaoran been paying attention to Momo’s condition? If he discovered that Lu Mo’s case was fake, why is he so nervous every time Momo pretends to be sick?”
Mr. Lu looked puzzled and speculated, “According to our spies, Huo Zhou secretly sent someone to take away Little Chen, the blood laboratory technician at Jinghang Hospital. He’s someone who specializes in blood tests for Lu Mo. Huo Zhou’s intentions are obvious.”
Mrs. Lu heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, the blood test sample is fine.”
Mr. Lu looked at her. “You have to hide your illness well. I don’t think you can hide it from him.”
Mrs. Lu said, “Don’t worry. My illness is not fake.”
Mr. Lu said, “Although your illness is real, your breast cancer is early-stage cancer. In order to force Huo Xiaoran to marry Momo, you ignored the pathological characteristics and often let Momo pretend to be sick. Xiaoran is not stupid. He has long discovered that the pathology reflected by the report does not match Momo’s clinical performance. I’m afraid he’s starting to suspect that Momo’s illness is fake. It’s just that in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he asked Huo Zhou to help him investigate this matter.”
When Mother Lu and Lu Mo heard this, they started to feel uneasy.
Mr. Lu glanced at the ashen-faced Lu Mo. He, who loved his daughter dearly, comforted her helplessly, “There’s no turning back. Since we’ve come this far, let’s plan carefully. We have to be careful with every step next. We can’t be willful anymore.”
Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, “Hubby, don’t stand there and talk nonsense. Since you’re unwilling to help us plan, how can we figure out a solution? In any case, if there’s a hiccup and your daughter can’t marry Huo Xiaoran, your hospital will have no successor.”
Mr. Lu looked at Lu Mo with a disappointed expression and frowned. “I really don’t know what I did in my previous life to have a daughter like you. If you had used your infatuated brain to study, would I have to worry about not having anyone to inherit my family business?”
Lu Mo’s heart ached. She kept silent and glanced at Mrs. Lu bitterly.
She also wanted to study hard and become a top student like Qiao An. However, her IQ was low. After she entered high school, she was helpless about those algebraic geometry problems.
Since the people around her were all top students, no one could understand the distress of a fool like her. From then on, she knew that she could only rely on men for the rest of her life.
When she saw Huo Xiaoran, she was attracted by his handsome appearance and refined speech. She was even more fascinated by his outstanding results. At that time, she knew that he was the most suitable man for her.
An uncomfortable look flashed across Mrs. Lu’s eyes. Mr. Lu’s disdain for his daughter made her very uneasy. She smiled apologetically and said, “Hubby, it’s not like you don’t know. My Momo hasn’t spent her time studying since she was young. Girls are different from boys. Girls love beauty and are playful.”
Mr. Lu sighed helplessly. “Who does she take after?”
Mrs. Lu stopped talking.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold, but Father Lu did not notice the reason why.
He muttered, “Prepare a gift for me. I have to pay my respects to Mr. Huo.”
Mother Lu was overjoyed.
Mr. Huo was highly respected by the younger generation in the business world because he valued integrity and was a man of his word. Mr. Lu decided to bypass Huo Xiaoran and went straight to Old Master Huo to discuss the engagement of the juniors. It was really a wise move.
Mrs. Lu was very happy. She generously prepared a generous gift and let Mr. Lu bring it to the Huo family.
Old Mr. Huo’s villa was in the Heavenly Imperial Garden. He lived next door to his descendants. When Mr. Lu stepped into Mr. Huo’s villa, this news was leaked to Huo Zhou by his private butler.
Mr. Huo was a soldier when he was young. This butler was his comrade-in-arms. Because the enemy’s gun had injured his vital points and made him impotent, he doted on the old man’s children as his own.
The Huo family’s upbringing was also very good. Whether it was Xin Ping and Ru Ping, or Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran, they were all very respectful to Grandpa Butler.
Therefore, Grandpa Butler really doted on the two young masters. When he learned that Mr. Lu had come to the Huo family to force a marriage, Grandpa Butler was afraid that Huo Xiaoran would be forced into a corner and follow his mother’s path.
It was a tragedy no one wanted to see.
Therefore, Grandpa Butler secretly sent a message to Huo Zhou to let Xiao Ran be mentally prepared.
Word of mouth quickly spread.
He paced around the house with a dark expression. Huo Zhou was also anxious for him. “Xiaoran, Lu Mo’s father brought a lot of expensive gifts over. I heard from the butler that he’s here for your marriage with Lu Mo.”
Huo Xiaoran suddenly stopped in his tracks. He suddenly smiled evilly and patted Huo Zhou’s shoulder. “Zhou Zhou, I have to go out and hide for two days. If Grandpa sends someone to invite me later, tell him that I’m going overseas to discuss a project.”
Huo Zhou said, “You haven’t bought a ticket yet?”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Get someone to buy it immediately. The sooner the better. I’ll set off for the airport now.”
Huo Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re really a squid.”
As soon as Huo Xiaoran left the Heavenly Imperial Garden, Grandpa Butler came to his Garden. When Huo Zhou saw Grandpa Butler, he shrugged and smiled. “Grandpa Chen, you’re a step too late.”
Grandpa Butler looked at the luxury car that disappeared at the end and smiled kindly. “Where is Xiaoran going?”
“He’s going abroad to discuss a project.”
Grandpa Butler asked, “When did he book the flight?”
“Hehe, he just booked it.”
Grandpa Butler sighed. “Aiya, the Lu family is a little unlucky.”
Huo Zhou covered his mouth and laughed.
When the butler returned to report, he had a worried expression. “Master, unfortunately, Young Master Xiaoran has already gone overseas. The plane leaves at two o’clock in five minutes.”
Mr. Lu asked in confusion, “I’ve never heard that he’s going overseas recently.”
The butler explained, “It must have been a sudden decision made today.”
Mr. Huo said, “This is really unfortunate.”
Mr. Lu pondered for a moment. “Mr. Huo, we shouldn’t interfere in the children’s matters. It’s just that recently, I’ve heard some rumors that are very bad for Xiaoran’s reputation. That’s why I rushed over today. I just want to finalize the children’s wedding as soon as possible so that those rumors will collapse on their own. Otherwise, it will affect Xiaoran’s future.”
Mr. Huo said in surprise, “I wonder what kind of rumor it is?”
Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment and said, “They said that Xiaoran has been very close to Qiao An recently. Although Qiao An is Xiaoran’s ex-girlfriend, but…”
At this point, Father Lu paused.
