Chapter 301 - Possessing A Glib Tongue
Song Yajing had a smile on her face while she replied, “That’s right. Our Qingqing has good memory.”
Ning Qing went forward and personally held onto 7th Grandpa. “7th Grandpa, Qingqing has already ordered them to prepare a whole table of dishes. Everyone, quickly head into the dining table. Let us eat while we talk.”
The crowd saw 7th Grandpa as their leader, and both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Ning Qing could not have not known what they wanted, but neither of them were flustered at the situation; they were very calm. They welcomed them in, and even prepared a meal.
Everyone looked questionably at 7th Grandpa.
7th Grandpa’s turbid eyes had an old scheming glow in them, and he started to laugh out loud before saying, “Sure, since we are all here, we will stay for a meal then.”
The elders walked into the dining room, and they saw that the dining table was filled with delicious looking dishes and piping hot food. The helpers in the villa were busy and orderly, and it looked the same as usual.
Their behaviour was not out of the ordinary.
Ning Qing nodded her head, and she lifted her glass. “Come, 7th Grandpa, uncles gathered here, I thank all of you for flying all the way here from America. Let us say cheers.”
The crowd forcefully curled up their lips into a smile, and they looked on the edge of tears. “It’s nothing much; it’s nothing much.”
Ning Qing had a sip of red wine, and her bright gaze did not lose its spark as she scanned everyone who was present at hand, “7th Grandpa, uncles gathered here, going back to the conversation, Shaoming has merely been gone for a day, and there is a seven day window to save victims in disaster. One out of seven days has not even passed. The possibility of Shao Ming ending up dead is slim; we needn’t worry.
“Shao Ming has gone through thick and thin throughout these years as the president of Lu Corporation. Let me ask; which time did Shao Ming not return back safely? As for Lu Corporation, if there are truly some rogues who have their eyes on the things that belong to Shaoming, then I can only advise them to take it easy. Don’t even think about stealing the roots that Shao Ming has planted throughout these years in the Lu Corporation. He has a strong bout of influence that is still present. Furthermore, my father-in-law is still around. I have given birth to a son for Shaoming, and as long as my little Young Master Lu is still around, then those people should see who they are and what they are more clearly.
“To word it nicely, while Shaoming is not around, I have noted down who has helped us before, and to word it not so nicely, who has had evil intentions before. I, Ning Qing, have a good memory. I note every single person’s actions, and after Shaoming returns, I will guarantee that those people will not be able to eat and live comfortably!”
Ning Qing added emphasis on the words, “eat and live comfortably,” and her voice was crisp and clear. It was definite and confident, and the people who were listening on while they were drinking red wine all froze in their actions.
Everyone channelled their gazes to look at 7th Grandpa, and they only saw 7th Grandpa gritting his teeth together. His expression was dark as it could be.
“Come. You needn’t be polite; let us eat our meal quickly.” Ning Qing had a smile at the end of her speech.
…
After they finished the meal, those elders went out of the main door of the Lu home.
After they boarded their vehicle, 7th Grandpa shook his sleeve and said, “Hmph, such a Ning Qing. I treated her as a 21 year old girl, but I did not expect her to have such scheming thoughts. Every word that she said was full of force and conviction, and she was able to make all of us speechless. In the future, we should not underestimate her.”
“7th Grandpa, what should we do then? This is such a good timing; we cannot pass up this opportunity.”
“Good timing? Pfft, let me ask you; what are we going to do if Lu Shaoming hasn’t died? These 31 years, we have been waiting for Lu Shaoming to end up in some kind of accident, but every time he was able to emerge out of it unscathed. Do you want to have a look at his abilities?”
Everyone heard his words and were very afraid. They shivered and went towards the back. Lu Shaoming was able to carry out his tasks with vigour and drive. He was firm and strict towards personal and company’s interests, and he was never soft.
They were also afraid that they would not be able to take advantage of him, and rather, they would end up tortured by him.
7th grandpa gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it, we will wait for another seven days more. After the seven day window has passed, if they are still unable to find Lu Shaoming, then we will start our operations and engage in our plans.”
“Okay.” Everyone agreed.
…
Ning Qing stood before the French windows to look at the numerous luxurious vehicles leave, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
Song Yajing was carrying Little Young Master Lu in her arms as she said, “Qingqing, I don’t know how much time are they going to give us.”
“Mum.” Ning Qing gave her a smile and comforted her saying, ” We will definitely have seven days time. For these seven days, we can have some peace.”
“But, what about after seven days have passed?”
Ning Qing’s long lashes that were like a butterfly’s wings fluttered once. The prime time to rescue a survivor is gone after seven days. Before thinking about what those old scavengers would do, the probability of Lu Shaoming being alive would be extremely slim.
