Chapter 1000 - 1000 960 Heading to the Yu Family
1000: Chapter 960: Heading to the Yu Family 1000: Chapter 960: Heading to the Yu Family In the middle of the night, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng were walking down the streets when a cold wind made Dongfang Cheng shiver.
“These people from the Su family are really unreasonable—it’s clear they don’t take us seriously!”
Dongfang Cheng complained.
“That fat man holds a high position in the Su family; even Su Jingqian couldn’t say much.”
Lu Chuan replied.
Dongfang Cheng said with a chuckle, “Didn’t that guy say?
The Su family is governed jointly by the two brothers, so that man holds half the authority.
If he’s determined not to agree, Su Jingqian certainly wouldn’t either.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I know, but Su Jingqian is definitely problematic; he’s no innocent man.”
“He doesn’t dare to firmly stand by my side, which shows that he’s also worried about the possibility Su Jingkun mentioned.”
“He’s also afraid that by siding with me, he might offend the Lu family.”
“Clearly, the Su family isn’t a force worth forming an alliance with; it’s hard for him to join me in opposing the Lu family.”
Lu Chuan came to a clear conclusion: the Su family was not suitable as allies.
In fact, it was unnecessary for him to continue interacting with them.
Whether it was Su Jingqian or Su Jingkun, there wasn’t much difference between the two; after all, they were brothers with similar thoughts.
Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “So where do we go next?
To the Yu family?”
“Their situation is unknown; if our visit is unwelcome, wouldn’t that spell the end for us?”
“Are we two going to end up sleeping on the streets tonight?
Well, even if we have nowhere else to go, we can still stay at an inn.”
Lu Chuan turned to Dongfang Cheng, “Do you know where the Dongfang family’s influence lies within Cloud Sea City?”
Dongfang Cheng scratched his head, “I really don’t know; this is my first time here, I’ve never been before.”
“This huge city, and you’ve never visited?”
“Never.
This isn’t the territory of our Dongfang family, and with the ferocious competition here, it would have been easy for me to run into trouble in my younger years.”
“So, my father strictly controlled me, never allowing me to come here, avoiding places where our Dongfang family didn’t have deep roots.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly.
“Then let’s head to the Yu family.”
Lu Chuan approached a little girl who was playing shuttlecock nearby.
“Little sister, may I ask you a question?”
The girl stopped her activity, saw Lu Chuan’s friendly smile and handsome face, and smiled back.
“Sure, ask away.
I’ll answer you.”
She sweetly smiled, revealing her little tiger teeth.
“Here’s the thing, do you know where the Yu family lives in Cloud Sea City?”
“The Yu family?
Are you talking about the ones in the mining business?”
She looked at Lu Chuan curiously.
“Yes, I’m a friend of their family, visiting but not sure of the way.”
“Oh, you’re so silly—follow me, make sure you keep up; I’ll take you there.”
She hopped and skipped joyfully ahead, leading the way with Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng exchanging looks before following her.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Yu family’s residence.
Two stone lions stood at the gate.
There was no guard at the door, which was flaking, and the surrounding walls and bricks were cracked.
The place looked desolate; obviously the Yu family didn’t have spare funds for maintenance.
Lu Chuan approached the gate, knocked, and called out, “Is anyone there?”
After a while, the door opened, and a head peeked out, “Who are you looking for?”
“Are you the family’s caretaker?
I’m looking for Yu Qiming.”
“Yu Family Head, may I ask who you are?”
Lu Chuan casually replied, “I’m Lu Chuan, and he’s Dongfang Cheng.”
“Oh!!!
It’s you!
As soon as the Family Head returned, he told us about you.”
“Young Master Lu Chuan, you are our family’s honored guest!”
He grinned and opened the gate wider, allowing Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng to enter.
Entering the courtyard, Lu Chuan saw Yu Qiming had set up a table where a small group was dining.
Not many people were present, just over ten, with no extra servants.
Clearly, they were too impoverished; the banquet was exceptionally bleak.
They couldn’t even afford extra servants.
As Lu Chuan entered, Yu Qiming saw him and hurried over.
“Lu Chuan!
How did you come!”
He asked, surprised and delighted.
“Weren’t you at the Su Residence?
Why…
didn’t you stay there?”
“The Su Residence is much more comfortable than here; they have plenty of luxurious rooms while we…
appear quite shabby.”
He laughed awkwardly, seeming somewhat embarrassed.
Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “I didn’t stay.
The Su family didn’t welcome us.”
“What?
Are the people of the Su family mad?
They didn’t welcome you?”
“Don’t they know that you saved their young master?”
Lu Chuan smiled, “Of course they know, but they care more about the fact that I am the enemy of the Lu family.
They fear getting involved, preferring to offer me wealth instead of letting me stay there.”
“The people of the Su family are too much, showing no respect to a benefactor at all, utterly ungrateful!”
He angrily said, clenching his fist as if he wanted to slam it on the table.
“Lu Chuan, rest assured, our doors are always open to you.
за You can stay as long as you like here; no one in the Yu family will refuse!”
“With your word, I am reassured.
I know you’re an honest man and won’t go back on your word?”
“Of course, rest assured, I’ll never go back on my word.
You’re in Cloud Sea City; how could you stay in an inn?
Rest assured, the cleanest, most luxurious room is reserved for you.”
He spoke with a firm tone.
Behind him, the Yu family members still looked unsure of themselves.
At this moment, Jyang Ran came over to Lu Chuan.
“Welcome back, make yourself comfortable here.
It will be easier for us three to communicate.”
She spoke, seemingly glad for Lu Chuan’s return.
“Alright, then both Dongfang Cheng and I will stay here for now.”
Then, a woman stood up, approached Yu Qiming, and tugged at his sleeve, “Husband, what’s going on?”
“My dear, don’t worry.
These people are important to our Yu family.
Whether we can rise to prominence again depends on Young Master Lu.”
“Really… rise to prominence, like the Su family?”
Lu Chuan stepped forward, his voice firm, “Yes, your Yu family will become more powerful than the Su family, but only if you stand with me.”
