Chapter 569: When a person dies, there's no need to be too sad

Xiang Tao is burning with anger, feeling even more helpless and distressed inside.
He doesn't have the energy to deal with Xiang Ze anymore. The immediate priority is the Xiang Group.
Xiǎng Tāo zhǐ suí kǒu shuōdào: "Ràng tā qù ba, wǒ zhè jǐ tiān bù huí jiā le, nǐmen zhào kàng hǎo jiālǐ."
Tā guàduàn le diànhuà, kāishǐ ānpái jítuán de shìwù, dǎ diànhuà liánluò dà kèhù wéixì gǎnqíng ānpǔ tāmen de qíngxù, bìngqiě tōngzhī méitǐ huì zài míngtiān kāi jìzhě huì chéngqīng wǎngshàng liúyán.
He received nonstop phone calls on his mobile phone all night.
The company kept receiving bad news, and the shareholders demanded an explanation from him.
Xiang Tao was mentally and physically exhausted.
What crushed him was the collection call from the bank - the loan amount from the large conglomerate was astonishing. The profits this loan could generate far exceeded the bank interest, while keeping the operations running smoothly.
But now the Xiang Group is a bit overwhelmed.
Xiang Tao realized a very dangerous and terrifying thing.
The Xiang Group's funding chain... has broken!
Xiang Tao made calls throughout the night, but all he got were perfunctory responses.
最终他带上向明珠。
跪在半山秋水别墅区陆家门前。
这么大的资金漏洞，唯有陆半农能够填补。
这是向氏集团最后的希望了！
……
In the living room of the Lu family.
Lu Yingxue took a sip from the white coffee cup in her hand and looked at Lu Bannong on the other side of the sofa, saying, "Father, they have been kneeling for over an hour."
陆半农翻看着手中的医书，十分不在意地说道：“跪上一辈子也不顶用。”
陆映雪放下了咖啡杯，用纸巾轻轻擦了擦嘴唇说道：“老太爷让我今天去钟家，说是可以旁观黄老先生的金针术。还有钟凌霄在外面的女人怀孕了。老太爷的意思是年关之前，我要是不能怀孕的话钟意可能丢了继承人之位。”
Lǜbànnóng shǒudùnle dùn, jiāng yīshū héshàng: "Zěnme huì chū zhème dà de biàndòng?"
"Yěxǔ...... Zhōng yì nǎlǐ chùnùle lǎotàiyé ba. Wǒmen zhīqián dōu jiānxìn Zhōng jiā de xiàrèn jīnrén shì Zhōng yì, shuí néng xiǎng dào ne."
"Then your stomach should be more determined. Old Master Zhong has expressed his desire to hold his great great grandchild more than once. Which old person doesn't love children? If we can have five generations living together, it would be a wonderful story."
"I understand,"
Lan Yingxue whispered, "I will get pregnant."
If she gets pregnant after the engagement, she can also urge Zhong Yi to register quickly and become the rightful Mrs. Zhong.
Lu Yingxue's expression was cold, and Elder Taifu's actions further convinced her of the nonsense that Zhongyi had done.
The woman he loved was Qiao Xi!
However, there are still many doubts that she cannot figure out.
So she didn't confess her guess to Lu Bannong, she'll wait until everything is verified before telling him.
"Don't be late, go to the Zhong family early. Cheng Han's disciple is also there recently, learn a few moves from Huang Bingyi when he teaches her. With the Old Master present, Huang Bingyi wouldn't dare say anything."
"Okay."
Luying Xue got up and went back to her room to do a fresh and elegant makeup. Then she put on a light-colored dress before going out.
When she walked out of the villa, she noticed that it had been drizzling.
It's autumn now.
A sudden autumn rain brings a chill.
A servant handed her a thin coat to put on and carefully held an umbrella for her.
Lu Yingxue tucked her coat and glanced at the kneeling Xiang Mingzhu and Xiang Tao with a graceful figure.
Both of them were soaked wet in the rain, looking very embarrassed.
"Cousin."
Xiangtao shouted, "Can you please ask Uncle to invest in the Xiang Group to stabilize public opinion? The press conference is at 10 a.m. If Uncle is willing to help the Xiang Group in its urgent need, I will..."
Lù Yìngxuě stopped in her tracks: "Cousin, it's too late. Xie Xùbái has taken up fifteen percent of the shares of the Xiang Group, and you only just realized it. You have no idea how much effort he has put in behind the scenes."
So, it's too late.
Can't save it.
The Lu family cannot be implicated.
Now, the funds thrown in may all be in vain, so it's better to take advantage and grab a share. When a giant shark falls, the school of fish rushes to grab as much meat as possible, it's all profit.
"Cousin, give up and cut your losses early."
"Xiangtao's eyes were red with distress: 'Xiang Group is my father's hard work. When he dies, I must save it for him!'"
"Uncle's passing was expected. He worked tirelessly and even had to clean up the mess for you every day. He has always had a bad temper, and my father tried to change it several times to no avail. Recently, he was sent to the hospital multiple times due to anger. Death is a natural part of life, there is no need to be too sad."
Lù Yǐngxuě casually brushed it off, appearing aloof to the extreme.
Xiàng Tāo stared at her as if meeting his cousin, who was rumored to have a Bodhisattva heart, for the first time.
"Cousin, it's useless to look at me like this. The initiator of this incident is kneeling right beside you." Lù Yǐngxuě shifted her high heels and stood condescendingly in front of Xiàng Míngzhū.
The tone is calm yet contains hidden sarcasm.
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost my position as the leader of the trial needle conference. The Xiang family wouldn't have fallen to this extent, and it can be said that she played a major role in the destruction of the Xiang family and the death of my uncle."
Lu Yingxue has always been resentful.
"Xiang Mingzhu, you are a murderer who killed your own father." Lu Yingxue bent down, reaching out and grasping Xiang Mingzhu's chin, forcing her to lift her head and look at her.
Mengzhu tightly bit her lip and had to look up. The drizzle fell on her, making her eyelashes wet and almost unable to see Lu Yingsnow's expression.
She just heard her say.
"I will be engaged to Zhongyi on the 8th of next month. Grandfather wants Zhongyi and me to have a child before the New Year, and Zhongyi will surely be very active as well. Even if the Xiang family is down and out, in consideration of our sisterhood, I will also give you an invitation."
What kind of words would hurt Xiang Mingzhu and hit her sore spot?
"You... Lu Yingxue, you bitch! You are a bitch!"
A servant blocked Xiang Mingzhu and pushed her to the ground.
Lù yǐngxuě lěngxiào le yīshēng, tā suǒ jīngshòu de tòngkǔ, dōu yào ràng xiàng míngzhū chángguò yībiān!
Stupid!
Zǒng huàirén hǎoshì!
“Xiàng míngzhū, wǒ méi kòng péi nǐ làngfèi shíjiān. Xiànzài wǒ yào qù zhōngjiā le, duō hé Zhōng Yì péiyǎng gǎnqíng. Bùlùn nǐ hé tā nà duàn guòqù shì zhēn shì jiǎ, tā duì nǐ dōu shì lìyòng.”
Lu Yingxue slowly walked to the side of the car and got in.
"Lu Yingxue!"
Xiang Mingzhu was pressed to the ground by the servants of the Lu family, screaming Lu Yingxue's name with a heart-tearing hatred!
She understands that from today onwards, the gap between her and Lu Yingxue will only get larger, and she will drift further and further from Zhong Yi.
Her pride and vanity that belong to her will all collapse.
Gone!
"Lu Yingxue!"
She cried out with a hoarse voice, with raindrops beating on her cheeks. She would not give up this hatred. It had been more than twenty years since she became the stepping stone and laughingstock of Lu Yingxue!
As long as she is still alive, I will never forget!
Kneeling beside, Xiang Tao slowly closed his eyes, feeling desolate in his heart.
There is no hope left for the Xiang family!
He slowly stood up, his knees sore and stiff, unable to fall again in the rainwater.
Stumbling and falling again and again, he walked out unsteadily.
……
Inside the living room of the old Zhong family mansion, the atmosphere was exceptional.
Appearing cheerful but harboring hidden conflicts.
