WEDDING NIGHT: I BECAME THE FEMALE SUPPORTING CHARACTER AND MARRIED THE VILLAIN!

Chapter 272: Picking Someone

“Grandpa Lu.” Lin Jin tried her best to force a smile. “Our family is not in a state to arrange a marriage at the moment. Please give us two months.”

“Two months? That’s no good.” Old Master Lu said firmly, “Get it over with already.”

Old Master Lu’s retort caused the atmosphere at the table to freeze.

After Lu Wen finished his part, he ate dinner as if it had nothing to do with him. To him, it was irrelevant how Lu Zhao responded. His primary concern was keeping Nancy safe.

Lin Jin gave Lu Zhao a tense glance. She wished Old Master Lu’s pressure would break Lu Zhao.

The bystanders relaxed as they watched, sure that this arranged marriage had nothing to do with them.

“Grandfather, we’ve been extremely busy as of late. Numerous weak spots exist in the supply chain, both in terms of capital and finished goods,” Lu Zhao said indifferently, but his gaze swept across many other people in the Lu Family.

Those who met Lu Zhao’s gaze felt a chill run through their bodies. Wasn’t it obvious that Lu Zhao was trying to intimidate them into supporting him? It was their very own company that was experiencing difficulties. The Luya Group could go bankrupt if Lu Zhao predicted that it could not be saved.

The previously quiet branch families all chimed in this time.

“Aiya, Old Master, let the young people decide!” Someone spoke boldly because he was older.

“My classmate chose a bad day to get married.” The younger ones also found excuses to agree.

“Yes, how can we decide on marriage alone? We have to respect Miss Lin’s wishes!” People were afraid to offend Old Master Lu or Lu Zhao, so they put Lin Jin in the middle.

“Ha, other than making things difficult for Luo Ying, it was rare to see them so united.” Lu Zhao thought sarcastically in his heart.

When Old Master Lu realized that Lu Zhao had control over nearly half of the family, the corners of his mouth tightened.

“Good, good, very good!” Old Master Lu was so enraged that he laughed. He kept up his pleasant demeanor. “Then I’ll listen to you.”

It was useless! It was useless! All of them were completely useless! Worry and rage flooded Old Master Lu’s veins.

After ruling the Lu family for so long, he was well-versed in the methods of a coup d’état. At first, he believed he could keep Lu Zhao under control, but he soon realized that events were spiraling out of his hands.

What he really wanted was a compliant heir rather than a brilliant one.

He’d rather kill them with his bare hands if they won’t obey.

Old Master Lu avoided talking about Lu Zhao for the rest of the banquet, but his mind was making plans.

Lu Zhao’s long-standing animosity toward the Lu family, combined with the mental and physical toll of the banquet, had worn him down.

“I…” Lin Jin opened her mouth to ask if she could take Lu Zhao’s car, but he slammed the door and drove off before she could finish.

“Ah!” Lin Jin let out a suppressed cry. Luo Ying, Luo Ying, Luo Ying!!! If it weren’t for this woman, Lu Zhao wouldn’t have treated her like this!!

The fact that they got a divorce was simply not enough. Lin Jin was determined to get rid of Luo Ying!

While driving, Lu Zhao completely ignored Lin Jin. He was in a hurry to leave because he wanted to pick up Luo Ying.

Luo Ying should have been wrapping up the film festival’s awards ceremony at this point. Lu Zhao dialed Luo Ying’s number.

“Hello?” Luo Ying picked up, but there was a very noisy background sound. “Luo Ying, are you done? I’ll go pick you up. Where are you?” Lu Zhao asked.

“Yes…” Luo Ying made a comment, but it was lost in the din.

“What?” Lu Zhao frowned. Why was is so noisy at her end? Was there a problem?

. Lu… A bar!” Luo Ying shouted with all her might.

“I can’t hear you.” Lu Zhao’s voice sank. It was tar too noisy.

Suddenly, the sound in the car went silent. Luo Ying’s phone seemed to have been taken to another quiet place.

“Lu Zhao?” The voice of Jin Shi came from the other end of the phone.

“It’s me.” When Lu Zhao heard that Jin Shi was also by Luo Ying’s side, he finally felt a little relieved.

“Xinglin Road Bar. It’s a gathering for the crew. Come and pick her up. I have to leave soon.” Jin Shi was reluctant to say this, but he had to leave because of an emergency.

In this world, the only person he could entrust his sister to was Lu Zhao.

“I get it. Ten minutes.” Lu Zhao agreed..
