Chapter 213: Luo Family’s Change of Master
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Junqing really wanted to argue with him.
However, he realized that no matter what, Qin Lu could be considered Nan Yan’s boyfriend, and he had a much more legitimate claim.
So, he kept a stern face and remained silent.
Luo Mingfeng listened to their conversation and didn’t dare to interrupt.
As for the other members of the Luo family, they were still in confusion. They had no idea what Luo Mingfeng had done to incur the wrath of these two formidable figures.
In the past two days, the stock price of the Luo Corporation had plummeted several points due to the mysterious events.
Furthermore, their previously stable business partners had suddenly terminated their contracts, leaving the Luo Corporation in a state of uncertainty about what would happen next.
Now, it seemed that the Qin family was involved. The Luo Corporation was a prominent powerhouse in Jin City. Besides the Qin family, there was hardly anyone else capable of exerting this level of influence over them.
The concern among the Luo family members was whether Qin Lu and Shen Junqing were targeting the entire Luo family or just Luo Mingfeng. After all, they were unaware of the events, and it was solely Luo Mingfeng’s actions.
Finally, Luo Jiaxin from the second branch couldn’t bear the pressure and took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Qin, Mr. Lone Wolf, what can we do to appease you? It was Luo Mingfeng who offended you, and we truly didn’t know the details. We are innocent!”
“Yes, Mr. Qin, Mr. Lone Wolf, the blame lies with the guilty party. We hope you won’t harm the innocent in this matter,” chimed in another member of the Luo family.
Luo Mingfeng was almost on the verge of spitting blood. Watching his brothers, who had always been friendly towards him, distancing themselves from him at this critical moment sent a shiver down his spine.
It seemed that in the world of elite families, family bonds were truly a luxury, not to be taken seriously.
Luo Jiaxin spoke indignantly, “Big brother, this mess is of your own making.
You can’t drag the entire Luo family down because of your personal reasons!” The third son of the Luo family echoed this sentiment.
Their reluctance to offend Qin Lu and Shen Junqing was one reason, but the other reason was their long-standing dissatisfaction with Luo Mingfeng’s leadership.
Although he was the eldest, his abilities were limited. Over the years, the Luo family had been stagnant, with no progress or expansion into other fields. Stagnation meant regression, and if they continued like this, the Luo family would eventually be pushed into the background.
This was something they couldn’t accept.
Luo Mingfeng’s face turned ashen, his anger rising as he wanted to scold them for disregarding brotherly bonds.
However, seeing his two younger brothers clearly avoiding his gaze, he swallowed his words.
He had to accept that now, his priority was to stabilize the situation and prevent the Luo Corporation’s century-old foundation from crumbling.
“Mr. Qin, it was indeed my personal mistake this time. I shouldn’t have involved your people. You can decide how to deal with me. The Luo family is unaware of these matters, and I hope you can spare them,” Luo Mingfeng finally spoke.
“And if you have the same intentions, Mr. Lone Wolf, then come after me.”
Luo Mingfeng wasn’t being noble, ready to sacrifice himself for others. This mess was his own doing. At this point, the only way to gain some favor with his two brothers was to admit his mistakes, shoulder the responsibility, and hope they would show some mercy.
Since he had to pay a price, he would try to minimize the damage as much as possible.
Luo Mingfeng was a clever man, and Qin Lu understood his intention without the need for further discussion. Qin Lu didn’t bother to beat around the bush and directly stated, “You’ll step down from the position of the family head, leave Jin City with Luo Ling, and never return. This matter ends here.” This was Nan Yan’s decision, and naturally, Qin Lu would execute it.
Upon hearing Qin Lu’s demand, Luo Mingfeng’s face changed abruptly. He clenched his hands tightly by his side, his muscles tense, and a glimmer of resentment and anger flashed in his eyes.
But he restrained himself.
Finally, he let out a bitter smile. “Mr. Qin, I agree to your terms. I willingly resign as the head of the Luo family and relinquish all rights. I will take Luo Ling to another city. I hope, Mr. Qin, that you’ll keep your word and not cause further trouble for the Luo family.”
“What I do next depends on you,” Qin Lu’s tone implied that if Luo Mingfeng dared to provoke Nan Yan again, he would face consequences.
It was a form of intimidation.
Luo Mingfeng agreed with a heavy heart and his face turned as pale as an eggplant hit by frost.
In an instant, he seemed to have aged ten years.
Shen Junqing rubbed his chin, giving Qin Lu an unfriendly glare.
Fine, this time Qin Lu had stolen the limelight again. That damn guy had too much going on.
However, no matter what, resolving Nan Yan’s troubles was the most important thing.
With the matter settled, Qin Lu and Shen Junqing had no intention of lingering in the Luo family.
“Mr. Qin, Mr. Lone Wolf, please take your leave,” the Luo family members respectfully escorted the two out.
Afterward, Luo Mingfeng looked at his two brothers standing beside him and spoke with a heavy tone, “From now on, the Luo family is in your hands.”
“Xiaochen and Yutang were not involved; they are innocent. Qin Lu won’t target them. I hope that, based on our familial bond, you can allow them to continue serving the family.”
Luo Jiaxin quickly reassured, “Big brother, don’t worry. We’ve seen your contributions to the family. After some time, when Qin Lu returns to the capital, we’ll find a way to bring you back!”
Luo Mingfeng shook his head. “We’ll see when the time comes. We can’t afford to provoke the Qin family. Try not to provoke them any further.”
“We will listen to big brother.”
After leaving the Luo family, Luo Mingfeng went to the hospital. Luo Ling had already woken up, and Mrs. Luo was taking care of her.
“Dad, you have to avenge me! I want Nan Yan dead, I want her dead!” Luo Ling’s resentful words struck Luo Mingfeng deeply.
He took big strides toward the hospital bed and slapped her face hard.
Luo Ling cried out loudly, “Dad, why did you hit me?”
Mrs. Luo asked angrily, “Mingfeng, why did you hit Xiaoling?”
Luo Mingfeng pointed at Luo Ling, his fingers trembling, and said angrily, “You spoil her so much! Don’t you realize that because of her, we’ve been kicked out of the Luo family and can’t return to Jin City?” “What’s going on?” Mrs. Luo was shocked. “Are you joking?”
“You should ask your good daughter about what happened.”
Luo Ling bit her lip, her eyes filled with hatred. “It was Qin Lu who helped her deal with the Luo family, right?”
Luo Mingfeng was so infuriated that he couldn’t muster the strength to scold Luo Ling anymore.
He sat weakly by the hospital bed and said with a sigh, “It seems you already knew about Nan Yan’s relationship with Qin Lu and knew she was not someone to be trifled with, yet you still went after her. You’ve not only ruined your own life but also implicated your mother and me. In order to save your life, I even handed over the position of the family head. Are you satisfied now?”
Luo Ling felt a deep blow, her whole being in despair. She shook her head tearfully. “Dad, it’s not like that. These are all lies, right?”
Mrs. Luo held Luo Mingfeng’s hand and asked, “Mingfeng, are we really kicked out of the Luo family, and we can’t return to Jin City?”
Luo Mingfeng sighed, “For the time being, it’s true…”
But he had a trump card, and there was still a chance to turn things around!
