Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1066 - 1066 1026 Heading to Lu Manor

1066: Chapter 1026: Heading to Lu Manor 1066: Chapter 1026: Heading to Lu Manor Yu Qiming approached Lu Chuan and said, “How about a good meal tonight?

Should we go to a restaurant or simply invite the chef over to prepare a lavish dinner?”

“It doesn’t matter; I have something to tell you.”

Lu Chuan spoke.

“Something to tell me?

No problem, just say it.

Whatever you need me to do, I can.”

Yu Qiming said very earnestly.

“I need you to leave a portion of the Ming family’s assets untouched, yet also prevent others from interfering.”

“That’s not a problem.

But why do we need to do this?”

Yu Qiming looked at Lu Chuan, quite puzzled.

“Because I’m going to make a visit to Lu Manor.”

“To Lu Manor?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Exactly.

The Manor Master of Lu Manor is now dead, but they still don’t belong to me.

I must wake those people up and let them know who is the real boss of Cloud Sea City, who is the true master of the Lu family!”

After pondering for a moment, Yu Qiming suddenly had an epiphany.

“Oh!

I get it now.

Young Master Lu means to use these resources from the Ming family as your bargaining chips, making it easier for you to reclaim Lu Manor!”

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, “You do understand.”

“Of course, Big Brother Lu, just go ahead, I’ll make sure to leave you a heap of core, highly profitable assets, definitely enough to dazzle Lu Manor into submission!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then for dinner, let’s go out to eat, at the most luxurious restaurant in the city.”

Soon after, the two of them got ready, along with Dongfang Cheng and Jyang Ran, the four core members, and went to the restaurant for dinner.

…

Late into the night, Lu Chuan returned to the Yu Residence and immediately went to sleep as he got back to his room.

The following morning.

Lu Chuan got up and prepared to go to Lu Manor.

Dongfang Cheng was at the door, engrossed in a novel.

It was only when he saw Lu Chuan come out that he put the novel away.

“Young Master Lu, I’ve been waiting for a while.”

“Let’s set off now, to Lu Manor.”

Lu Chuan said.

“No problem, but we won’t be fighting this time, right?”

Lu Chuan smiled and shook his head, “Of course not, this time we are going to negotiate, unless they are foolish!”

Lu Chuan led the way out of the Yu Family Mansion, and the two rode on horses to head for Lu Manor.

“Are we not bringing Jyang Ran with us?”

Dongfang Cheng asked as he wielded the reins.

“She’s a bit busy these days, taking a rest today.

Let’s not bother her.”

The two continued on, weaving through the large streets and narrow alleys of the city, and soon arrived at the gate of Lu Manor.

The guards at the front of Lu Manor, upon seeing Lu Chuan’s arrival, immediately showed a fearful demeanor, not daring to meet Lu Chuan’s gaze.

“Are you all this afraid of me?”

“No wonder, after all, during my last visit, I brought you some harm.”

“Open the gate; I want to go in!”

“Lu…

Lu Chuan, what are you here for?

Our steward here has died.

What more do you want?”

Lu Chuan said indifferently, “I am from the Lu family, my surname is also Lu, now I have come back, is that not alright?”

“Then…

of course you can.”

The guard dared not stop Lu Chuan and obediently opened the large gate, allowing him to enter.

“Finally being obedient, eh?

Since it’s the gate of Lu Manor, it shouldn’t keep me outside.”

With that, Lu Chuan walked in.

Upon entering, he saw a sight of desolation.

Lu Chuan looked around and couldn’t help frowning.

“Damn, it was bustling the last time I was here.”

At that moment, an old man approached.

Lu Chuan barely recognized him.

“Are you…

the caretaker of the house?

You’re still here.”

“Lu Chuan, you’ve come…”

“What are you doing here?

Many people have left, they feel that if they stay here, their lives will be in danger, so they have fled Cloud Sea City and gone to other cities.”

With a sigh of resignation, Lu Chuan said, “Are they that afraid of me?”

“Of course, you’ve just killed Ming Baixuan not long ago, and there was a mighty purge of the Ming family’s remnants in town, of course we’re scared.”

“Why haven’t you left then?”

Lu Chuan looked at the caretaker and asked.

“I don’t have any money, I can only stay here, at least this mansion could be worth something.”

With a helpless sigh, Lu Chuan commanded, “Go, call out everyone in the manor!

Have them assemble in the front courtyard!

I’m only giving ten minutes!”

Upon hearing the command, the caretaker hurriedly left.

“People!

Come out, everyone, Lu Chuan is here to see you!”

However, after his shouting, no one responded.

“Everyone, Lu Chuan isn’t here to cause trouble for us, he has something to say, we won’t be harmed!”

The caretaker shouted again, and finally, people came out one after another.

Because they all realized that it was pointless to hide; they had no real strength at all, completely no match for Lu Chuan!

So if Lu Chuan wanted them dead, they would have no chance to survive.

Soon, the people of the manor came out and stood in the middle of the courtyard, all looking nervously at Lu Chuan.

Dongfang Cheng surveyed the crowd and said, “Most of these people are old, weak, sick, or disabled, those who could run have already run away.”

“The manor has become nothing more than an empty shell.”

With a shrug, Lu Chuan replied, “An empty shell is fine, after all, I don’t need them to be of much help to me; give them some assets, let them do some business, so they can earn some money and live peacefully here.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Maybe they will grow stronger over time, after all, there are still quite a few young people among them.”

Lu Chuan turned to the crowd and shouted, “Everyone, I’m not here to kill you.

Although I have a feud with the Lu family and am their enemy, in reality, I’m only an enemy of Lu Fusheng.

So, there’s no need for you to be nervous.”

“Not only should you not be nervous, but you should also be happy.

I’m going to help you with this, help you settle down in the city, find your own place, and properly plan for your industries.”

The crowd exchanged looks, all showing excited smiles.

“Young Master Lu, really?

You’re not planning to kill us?

But to support us instead?”

“Really?

That’s wonderful!

We thought we were done for!”

“I was thinking of ways to sell our manor.

Who would have thought, we could actually keep it.”

“Young Master Lu, if we can continue to earn money in the city, we will definitely listen to you!”

Lu Chuan took in the crowd and said, “I’m giving you two tasks; one is to manage the business and assets of the manor well, and the second, become my confidants.

If there’s any stirring in the city, inform me immediately!”

“As for the businesses you will engage in, you can inherit from the Ming family.

There are a few assets that have not yet found new owners; go and claim them.”
