The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 170

Chapter 170

The crowd exchanged puzzled looks, unable to fathom why the new manager was stirring up trouble. As a novice manager, her presence at this event was already somewhat inappropriate, yet she openly opposed the president and the shareholders' decision, which was clearly improper. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Yuanyu stood up. She scanned the shareholders, her gaze finally resting on Ling Chunann for a few seconds before turning to the head of the Lu family, "I disagree with Lu Jiayan taking over as president."

"Why?" The Lu family head frowned.

Bai Yuanyu glanced at Ling Chunann, who seemed unfazed as if nothing had happened, not even a hint of surprise on his face. She felt a bit unnerved but quickly gathered her courage, flipping open the document in front of her, and addressed the Lu family head, "He is not qualified to inherit the Lu family's fortune."

The room, previously quiet, erupted into chaos as her words fell, with everyone talking at once, turning the meeting into a tumult.

The Lu family head's frown deepened, and with a slap on the table, the room fell silent.

"Explain," he said to Bai Yuanyu, slowing his pace, "how is he unqualified?"

"President, please take a look at this document," Bai Yuanyu said, maintaining her composure as she placed the document in front of the Lu family head.

098: "Host, the document includes incidents that happened in the hospital years ago, the surgery report of Mrs. Lu, and the DNA report between Lu Jiayan and the Lu family head."

Ling Chunann nodded slightly, "Interesting."

098: "...Why do I feel like the host is here just to watch the drama?"

The Lu family head gave Bai Yuanyu a cold look before starting to read the document. After a few lines, his expression darkened, and after quickly flipping through the pages, he took a deep breath and announced, "I'm sorry, the decision to appoint the executive president will have to be postponed. This meeting is adjourned. Thank you for your efforts."

The shareholders, eager for gossip, looked at each other, realizing there was no more drama to witness and reluctantly left, understanding it was a private family matter. Yet, they felt they had just experienced big news—the president's son was not his biological child, how thrilling!

Soon, only Ling Chunann, Bai Yuanyu, and the Lu family head remained in the meeting room.

The Lu family head, with a dark face, stared at the document in his hand. Bai Yuanyu stood innocently to one side, while Ling Chunann remained seated, keeping his distance from the Lu family head.

The atmosphere was ice-cold.

"Where did these materials come from?" the Lu family head looked up at Bai Yuanyu.

Unexpectedly focusing on the source of the materials rather than confronting Ling Chunann first, Bai Yuanyu was startled by his icy gaze, "Someone gave them to me. The materials seemed comprehensive and not fake, so..."

Seeing her flustered demeanor, the Lu family head's gaze softened slightly before turning to an oblivious Ling Chunann, "Xiaoyan."

"Hmm? Father, what's wrong?" Ling Chunann, acting as a dedicated blind person, appeared clueless.

After looking at the document again, the Lu family head's expression grew complicated, torn between anger and lack of reason to lash out. Finally, he just huffed, "Both of you, come home with me," and left the meeting room.

Bai Yuanyu looked at Ling Chunann with schadenfreude before putting on a concerned face, "Ayan, let me help you."

"No need, I can walk by myself," Ling Chunann declined her offer and then asked, "What did you show to father?"

"It's a document. It's the DNA report between you and dad. You are not biologically related to dad," Bai Yuanyu whispered, "I thought it would be better to let him know the truth now than for him to find out later and be angrier... You're not mad at me, right?"

Ling Chunann inwardly nodded at her dedicated act but his expression changed, turning pale, "You mean I'm not my father's child?"

"Yes, that's right," Bai Yuanyu bit her lip, "Actually, mom only had one child in the hospital, not twins."

"Not twins?" Ling Chunann repeated, "Then..."

"Let's go downstairs quickly, dad might be waiting anxiously at home," Bai Yuanyu suddenly cut him off and hurriedly left.

098 disapproved, "Host, she's very rude. Why did she interrupt you?"

"She might be afraid I'd realize we're not blood-related and want to reconcile with her," Ling Chunann raised an eyebrow.

"Impossible!" 098 exclaimed, convinced the host wouldn't be interested in such a deceitful woman, especially now

 that he had Lu Linfeng.

"As long as she thinks it's possible," Ling Chunann said, "After all, 'I' used to love her so much, of course, I can't let her go now. But 'I' am no longer the young master of the Lu family, not worthy of her anymore, especially being blind. Of course, she can't be with me, but being a kind-hearted girl, she couldn't bear to reject me so cruelly, hence she interrupted me."

098 admired him, "Host is so right, didn't expect the female lead to play so many roles."

As 098 grew more admiring of Ling Chunann's insight into human nature, it heard him say, "I was just kidding."

"..." 098 was fooled again!

Ling Chunann's lips curled slightly, knowing he was joking, but it didn't mean his words were false, naturally, he wouldn't tell 098.

It was just too amusing.

Bai Yuanyu hurried downstairs, only remembering after starting her car that Ling Chunann couldn't see and wouldn't be able to drive himself home. However, she thought it wasn't her fault since he had refused her help, and what if he wanted to reconcile on the way back?

She remembered how well he used to treat her and wondered if she had been too harsh on Ling Chunann.

Then, she thought about how he, being the young master of the Lu family, never revealed his identity to her, probably mocking her poverty and lack of sophistication. Why else wouldn't he bring her home?

With this thought, any guilt she might have felt disappeared. Bai Yuanyu stepped on the accelerator and left the company garage, unaware that an elderly woman in a wheelchair was looking around at the company entrance.

When Bai Yuanyu returned to the Lu residence, the Lu family head had already been home for a while. Mrs. Lu was sitting on the sofa crying, with the Lu family head sitting opposite, showing no intention to comfort her. His eyes were red as he uttered two cold words, "Divorce."

Hearing this, Bai Yuanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly approached, "Mom, dad, let's talk this over, dad, there must be some misunderstanding, don't be impulsive."

"I am never impulsive," the Lu family head snorted coldly, his gaze turning frosty towards Mrs. Lu, "I thought, if you didn't know, it'd be fine. But since you could bring home another child to pass off as my son, you should've expected this day."

Mrs. Lu's shoulders tensed up, caught off guard by the accusation. The shock and panic on her face were too late to hide, clearly seen by the Lu family head. Now, completely overwhelmed, she covered her face and cried, "I was just under too much pressure, afraid I couldn't bear a son, and you would divorce me, wuwuwu..."

Seeing Mrs. Lu cry softened the Lu family head's heart momentarily, but after hearing her words, he became even angrier. He raised his hand then put it down, paced the living room a few times, then sat down on the sofa, exasperated, "You! To think, in your eyes, I am that kind of person!"

"Dad, please don't be angry," Bai Yuanyu hastily tried to soothe the Lu family head but was slapped away.

"Get out, don't think I don't know what you're up to," the Lu family head glanced at Bai Yuanyu.

"I, I..." Bai Yuanyu's eyes widened, tears brimming.

Soon, the room was filled with the cries of two women.

As Bai Yuanyu cried, her mind raced. What did he know? Could the Lu family head know she intentionally had Ling Chunann investigated? Impossible, only she and some hackers knew about it.

After ensuring she hadn't overlooked anything, Bai Yuanyu cried even harder.

The Lu family head coldly observed the mother and daughter, then silently picked up the document he had thrown on the floor earlier. He flipped through the first two pages several times before closing it with a grim face.

After a long silence, the Lu family head leaned back on the sofa, speaking in a low voice, "I'll buy back that 25% of shares at market price, let's divorce."

"I won't divorce," Mrs. Lu cried, "Aqing, I don't want to divorce, please don't divorce me. I was wrong, I won't lie to you anymore."

Bai Yuanyu was still somewhat confused. According to her plan, upon learning of Ling Chunann's non-biological relation, the Lu family head should have disowned him just like Lu Jiayu, directly expelling him from the Lu family. Why was he talking about divorce instead of mentioning Ling Chunann?

Bai Yuanyu wasn't wrong in her thinking.

 In the original story, upon discovering Lu Jiayan was not his biological son, the Lu family head indeed expelled him without much blame towards Mrs. Lu.

But that was Lu Jiayan, a person who had been worn down by Bai Yuanyu to the point of losing all ambition, filled with resentment, blind, and utterly hopeless, not Ling Chunann.

The fact that the Lu family head entrusted all his shares to Ling Chunann showed how much he valued this son. Now being told he wasn't his child was too much for him to accept.

Seeing the Lu family head had made up his mind, Mrs. Lu, who knew him well, stopped crying and fell silent. After a while, she said, "I can't sell you the shares at market price. No, I won't sell them to you, and I won't divorce."

The Lu family head looked at her, the warmth in his eyes replaced by icy detachment, "Choose one, the shares or divorce."

"Lu Tianqing! You're going too far! I brought Ayan back, all for you, for this family! How dare you treat me this way? I won't divorce!" Mrs. Lu yelled.

"How have I treated you? Out of the total 45% of shares in the Lu family, I gave you 25%. What more do you want from me?" the Lu family head coldly said, "How have you repaid me? First, a Bai Yuanyu, then a Lu Jiayan. Now, I doubt if you've ever borne my child."

"You, you!" Mrs. Lu clutched her chest, and with Bai Yuanyu's comfort, it took her a long time to catch her breath. She glared at the Lu family head, "Yuanyu, let's go!"

Watching the mother and daughter leave through the door, the Lu family head paused, then pulled out his phone, "Lawyer Chen, come over."

After hanging up, he covered his face with his hands, took several deep breaths, and then looked up, straightening his back, as Ling Chunann walked in.
