Chapter 341: Chapter 341: It’s All About Her Weak Point!

Meeting Lu Xining’s indifferent gaze, Cheng Cang tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The corner of his eye caught the unsightly expressions of the others, resembling constipation. While he found it amusing, he also regarded Lu Xining with increased solemnity.

"I apologize, this matter is my fault, Miss Lu. These people were left to you by Mr. Chu."

"All the fame, wealth, and assets behind them also belong to the Chu Family."

At this moment, Cheng Cang’s words clearly made Zhao Yuanchen and the others uncomfortable. They were reluctant to admit that the fortune in their hands was initially a charity given temporarily from the Chu Family and needed to be returned to the descendants of the Chu Family in the future.

Seeing that she pressed her lips together and did not reply, Cheng Cang immediately understood her intentions.

His gaze turned cold as he looked at the people sitting on the sofa, his voice indifferent, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still need Mr. Cheng to personally teach you the proper way to behave in front of the descendants of the Chu Family?"

Lu Xining was neither a saint nor a gambler on human nature.

The petty matters that had arisen around her during this period, visible and hidden conflicts, might very well have been influenced by these people.

Like loyal dogs, having loosened their leashes for so many years, accustomed to the delicacies of the world outside, they inevitably harbored ulterior motives – evident from their never-lowered heads.

She sat lazily on the sofa, occasionally glancing at her shiny fingertips.

The most important thing now was to see who had more patience.

Their reluctance to act stemmed from the understanding that once they bowed their heads, it would be difficult to stand up again. They were struggling desperately in their final moments.

They wanted the Chu Family’s cake yet feared the poison on top, desiring to seize the Chu Family’s split assets without any casualties and even to manipulate the descendants of the Chu Family for their benefit. The calculations of these people were about to explode in her face.

"Fang Lingling from the Fang Family, I have met the descendant of the Chu Family."

The saying "A wise man submits to circumstances" fits Fang Lingling perfectly.

From the moment she got out of the car, she seemed to be constantly chattering, but whether it was prior shoe polishing before entering or not seating before Lu Xining came down, it was evident she maintained a standard of decorum.

Lu Xining responded faintly, "Hmm."

The other five men shifted their gaze to Cheng Cang, their bodies tense and still motionless.

"It’s getting late, please leave."

Lu Xining stood up and left, ignoring Lan Jingxu’s attempts to retain her and went directly upstairs.

Upon her departure, Zhao Yuanchen and the others couldn’t sit still.

He furiously interrogated, "Cheng Cang, this isn’t what you told us before coming! We are also prominent figures in the circle now. How can a young girl treat us with such disrespect?"

"We didn’t speak earlier out of respect for you, but why didn’t you say anything all this time?"

"And about being dogs, even if Mr. Chu were here, he wouldn’t treat his subordinates like this. How can she, a woman, dare to speak like that? If it weren’t for our capabilities back then, the Chu Family’s assets would have been seized by others long ago!"

The men vented their dissatisfaction all at once.

Seeing them band together and complain, Fang Lingling couldn’t help but snicker sarcastically, "So, you now consider the Chu Family’s assets as your own, right?"

In his time, when Chu Zhan was allocating the department’s assets, he chose a few of the most astute among his servants, not only solving their identity issues but also secretly transferring some assets to their names to protect his daughter.

However, when Chu Yan wanted to reclaim them, they put up all kinds of excuses.

They even tried to force her to have relations with their son, using marriage as a guise to righteously seize the Chu Family’s assets.

Later, discovered by Chu Yan, she chose to give up those assets and disappear after changing her identity.

"Fang Lingling, is there a place for you to interrupt while we men are talking!"

Zhao Yuanchen glared furiously, not considering her part of the Chu Family’s power; they also never invited her to their gatherings over the years.

"Us men? Ha! I think Miss Lu is right in one aspect, just a bunch of Chu Family’s dogs, why differentiate between ranks and statuses?"

"If you weren’t afraid of the sword hanging over your heads, would you have traveled all this way here?"

"Zhao Yuanchen, I am not my mother, to be manipulated by you at will! From the moment I got those things, I’ve always remembered they are temporarily stored here by the Chu Family, not mine! But do you still remember?"

Lu Xining sat on the study’s sofa, watching the noisy scene on the surveillance screen, and raised an eyebrow. She had to admit Fang Lingling was smart, knowing exactly what to say at what time.

At this moment, the attitude exhibited by Fang Lingling was her pledge of allegiance to the Chu Family’s descendants.

She continued to flip through the documents on the desk.

Zhao Yuanchen, Li Anqi, Zhang Chuxi, Lan Jingxu, and He Xianxiao, who had been silent since entering, held industries that spanned aviation, investment, mining, home furnishings, and jewelry, including various small tech-related enterprises under their names.

From their emergence in the business arena to their current achievements, it seemed as if they had always had the green light.

Do those above really not see through this?

And the Fang Family, which has been developing in the entertainment industry, although not as powerful as the Su family in Jingzhou, holds numerous celebrities and luxury brand endorsements both domestically and internationally—aren’t all these connections?

There came a knock at the door.

"I’m Cheng Cang." The man’s voice was steady, carrying a faint smile.

During the recent argument between Fang Lingling and Zhao Yuanchen, he had stopped all discussions with a single "Enough".

The man precisely located the surveillance camera, as if he knew she was observing him from the shadows.

Lu Xining spoke calmly, "Come in."

As soon as he entered, Cheng Cang felt the warmth, mixed with a faint scent of sandalwood, which inadvertently eased his mood.

Compared to the coldness of the downstairs living room without the heating on, the study was much more comfortable.

He walked to the chair in front of Lu Xining, and this time he did not sit down without asking but waited for her permission before taking a seat.

Cheng Cang: "Do we have to make things so stiff?"

Lu Xining slowly turned to him and countered, "Isn’t it you who said my grandfather left me quite a lot?"

Her grandfather had been dead for decades now.

Decades, not years.

"Cheng Cang, a rat that’s been in the rice jar for a long time won’t easily spit out everything it owns, only in desperate times will they reluctantly return what was taken, but still might sneak some away."

The two were separated by the distance of a table.

Hearing the irony in her voice, Cheng Cang looked up and met those emotionless almond eyes, surprise flashing through his eyes, seemingly not expecting her to see through human nature so thoroughly.

"And moreover..."

Lu Xining’s gaze suddenly sharpened, her red lips slightly parting, "I really hate it when people differentiate one’s abilities based on age and gender!"

These people had all hit her sore spot!
