    Chapter 32 Cancel all cooperation

    The early morning sun shines through the gaps in the curtains, casting tiny spots of light on the floor. The bedroom is filled with a faint aroma of food.

    Xie Shuhan woke up from the bedroom. The moment he opened the door, he saw several breakfasts neatly placed on the dining table.

    Steaming soy milk, freshly baked meat buns, and two plates of exquisite side dishes were all spread out on the table.

    Lu Jin was sitting on the small sofa next to him, his back straight and his silver-gray hair neatly combed.

    The embarrassment from last night has faded away, but there is still a hint of cautious embarrassment.

    When he heard the door open, he immediately stood up and walked quickly to Xie Shuhan, then subconsciously stopped, not daring to get too close.

    His eyes unconsciously drifted to the side of Xie Shuhan’s neck, where the red mark had not completely dissipated. The light pink color was particularly conspicuous on the fair skin, like a thin needle, gently piercing Lu Jin’s heart.

    “You’re awake.” Lu Jin’s voice was hoarse as if he had just woken up, and his tone was full of flattery, “The breakfast I went out to buy this morning is still hot. Would you like some?”

    Xie Shuhan’s eyes swept across the dining table, and an imperceptible warmth flashed through his eyes. He nodded slightly: “Well, I happen to be hungry.”

    After saying that, he turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up briefly.

    When he sat at the dining table, Lu Jin had already taken the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and handed a meat bun in front of him: “This is delicious, you can try it.”

    Xie Shuhan took the bun and took a bite. The soft dough was wrapped in the fragrant meat filling. It tasted really good.

    He took another sip of the warm soy milk, and the warmth slid down his throat and into his stomach, making his whole body soothing.

    “It’s delicious, don’t you want to eat it?” He took a few bites and looked up at Lu Jin, who had been sitting across from him and looking at him.

    “I’ve eaten, please eat more.” Lu Jin shook his head, looking at Xie Shuhan eating with burning eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

    Just looking at him quietly like this, I felt that my heart was filled with joy, and even the air became sweet.

    Xie Shuhan didn’t ask any more questions, lowered his head and continued eating breakfast.

    He said nothing about what happened last night. He neither asked who was plotting against him nor mentioned his rudeness when he lost control. He just accepted his breakfast calmly.

    Lu Jin knew in his heart that Xie Shuhan was protecting his self-esteem.

    The embarrassment and humiliation of being drugged is a shame that no man can express, and Xie Shuhan’s silence gave him the greatest dignity.

    This calm tenderness made Lu Jin feel sour in his heart, and his love for Xie Shuhan deepened.

    Xie Shuhan ate very seriously and tasted every breakfast without being picky at all.

    Seeing him eating quietly, Lu Jin only felt that the years were peaceful, and secretly thought to himself, it would be great if he could continue like this.

    “Are you full?” Lu Jin asked immediately after Xie Shuhan put down his chopsticks, his eyes full of concern.

    “Well, I’m full.” Xie Shuhan nodded, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.

    Seeing that class time was approaching, Xie Shuhan packed up his textbooks and prepared to go out.

    Lu Jin followed him all the way downstairs to the dormitory. He watched his figure disappear in the direction of the teaching building before turning around and leaving.

    After leaving school, the tenderness on Lu Jin’s face instantly faded, replaced by a strong look of anger and unhappiness.

    Thinking of what Yun Chuchu did last night, he felt sick.

    He took a taxi and went straight to Lu’s Group. The low air pressure radiating around him made the taxi driver dare not ask more questions.

    The car parked downstairs of the Lu Group, and Lu Jin quickly walked into the hall, his face frighteningly gloomy.

    Wang Li had already been waiting at the elevator entrance. Seeing his appearance, her heart skipped a beat and she didn’t even dare to breathe. She quickly greeted him respectfully: “Master Lu.”

    Lu Jin ignored her, walked straight into the elevator, and pressed the button for the 99th floor.

    The atmosphere in the elevator was suffocating. Wang Li stood in the corner, secretly observing Lu Jin’s face, secretly guessing what happened yesterday to make Mr. Lu so angry.

    After reaching the top floor, Lu Jin went straight to Lu’s father’s office.

    He knew that all important cooperation project documents were stored in his father’s office, so he just opened the door and rummaged through the file cabinet without saying hello to the secretary.

    Soon, he found all the cooperation project documents related to the Yun family and took them all out at once.

    “Cancel all cooperation.” Lu Jin threw the documents heavily on the desk in front of Wang Li, his voice was cold and biting, leaving no room for negotiation.

    Wang Li subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold the crumbling document, flipped through it roughly, and her face instantly turned pale.

    These projects are the recent focus of cooperation between the Lu Group and the Yun Family, involving huge amounts of money. If they are all cancelled, the consequences will be disastrous.

    “Master Lu, if all of these are canceled, the liquidated damages we need to pay may reach 1 billion!” Her voice was trembling, trying to calm Lu Jin down.

    “So what.” Lu Jin sneered, his eyes full of disdain, “Money is not an issue, I can no longer cooperate with the Yun family.”

    When he thought of Yun Chuchu’s methods, he felt that the reputation of the Lu Group had been tarnished.

    Wang Li looked at his decisive look and secretly complained in her heart, but she didn’t dare to disobey.

    “Please allow me to ask Mr. Lu for instructions.” She said cautiously, mentally prepared to be reprimanded by Mr. Lu.

    “It’s up to you.” Lu Jin waved his hand nonchalantly and said firmly, “The old man will also support me.”

    He knew his father too well and protected his shortcomings very well. If his biological son was plotted against him in this way, his father would never let it go, let alone continue to cooperate with the Yun family.

    If his father dares not to stand on his side, he will complain to his mother, Ms. Tan, and his father will definitely not be able to live in poverty by then.

    Wang Li didn’t dare to delay, so she immediately picked up her phone and dialed Lu Weiting’s number.

    After the call was connected, she explained the situation concisely and then anxiously waited for Lu Weiting’s instructions.

    Lu Weiting was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then his calm voice came: “Do as he wants.”

    Wang Li was stunned, with disbelief written all over her face.

    She never expected that Mr. Lu would agree so straightforwardly, without even a trace of hesitation.

    The father and son were really rich and willful, so she, a working man, had no choice but to follow suit.

    After hanging up the phone, Wang Li looked at Lu Jin and said respectfully: “Mr. Lu has agreed. I will make arrangements to cancel the cooperation.”

    Lu Jin nodded with satisfaction, turned and left the office without saying anything more.

    As soon as he took a few steps, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Lu Weiting.

    Lu Jin raised his eyebrows and answered the phone, with a hint of joking in his tone: “Old man, if you are calling to refuse my proposal, I will complain to Ms. Tan after hanging up the phone.”

    He immediately took the initiative and blocked his father’s words.

    Lu Weiting, who was on the other end of the phone, choked up and sighed helplessly: “Don’t always threaten your father with your mother. Tell me, what happened to make you so angry?”

    He knew his son too well. If there was nothing serious, he would never be so impulsive in canceling so many important cooperations.

    The amusement on Lu Jin’s face faded instantly, and his tone became cold: “Yun Chuchu drugged me.”

    He had no unnecessary explanations and simply stated the facts.

    “What?” Lu Weiting’s voice instantly rose a bit, his tone full of shock and anger, “How dare that girl do that?”

    He did not expect that the daughter of the Yun family would be so bold and dare to attack his son, Lu Weiting.

    “Then you did the right thing, dad supports you.” After a brief moment of anger, Lu Weiting’s tone became firm, “Not only will all cooperation be canceled, but the Yun family will also be made to pay the price.”

    His son must not suffer this injustice in vain.

    “Are you okay?” Lu Weiting asked again with concern, his tone full of worry.

    “It’s nothing.” Lu Jin said lightly, but he was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he still had sense at the time and didn’t do anything he regretted.

    “That’s good.” Lu Weiting breathed a sigh of relief, “You can arrange this matter yourself. Dad will always be on your side. If you need help, ask anytime.”

    “Got it.” Lu Jin responded and then hung up the phone.

    After hanging up the phone, Lu Jin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the constant flow of traffic downstairs, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
