Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1808 Protect His Reputation

Madam Zhang was so angry that she broke down. Looking at her daughter, she immediately burst into tears.

Lu Yaolan glared at Su Bei.

…

In a private room outside the police station.

!!

Minister Zhang and Madam Zhang appeared at the same time. Lu Yaolan and Su Bei sat separately.

Everyone had already made things clear to each other.

There was an awkward silence.

Su Bei played with the spoon in her hand.

Madam Zhang said to Su Bei, “President Su, thank you for telling me the truth this time. Otherwise, my daughter would have fallen deeper and deeper. When I get her out, I’ll send her to a drug rehabilitation center. I must make her completely quit this bad habit.”

“Madam Zhang, you’re being too serious.”

Madam Zhang thought for a moment and said, “But I don’t think there’s a need to tell anyone about such a thing. It’s already very difficult for the child after making a mistake. If all kinds of insults appear in the outside world, I’m afraid it’ll be even more difficult for her… I can also apologize and compensate you for her actions of buying the trending searches to frame you.”

Seeing that she was still reasonable, Su Bei’s tone softened a lot. “My matter can be resolved later. The current issue is that our company’s Zhang Xinran has a criminal record because of your daughter’s matter. I hope you can help resolve it and clarify it to the public. This is a misunderstanding. Since the matter happened at the police station, I believe that someone might have used their power for personal gain. This matter must be resolved.”

Minister Zhang spoke at this moment. He had been in the top position for a long time and had his own dignity. What happened tonight made him look especially depressed.

He said, “President Su, I’ll send my daughter overseas for withdrawal treatment as soon as possible. But I still want to protect her reputation in the country. Restoring the reputation of your company’s artiste will definitely affect my daughter. Therefore, why don’t you let me talk to your artiste about this matter and I’ll see how much compensation she wants?”

Although he looked like he was sincerely solving a problem, he was quite arrogant.

He did not take Zhang Xinran No. 2’s life seriously at all.

All he wanted was to protect his daughter’s reputation and his own.

Su Bei did not say anything for a long time.

Minister Zhang was not in a hurry. He just looked at her with an extremely oppressive gaze.

Lu Yaolan couldn’t help but look at Su Bei, hoping that she would agree as soon as possible.

Even if it was the Lu family, although they did not have to be afraid of Minister Zhang, they would still be unwilling to become enemies with him. The importance of building a good relationship was self-evident.

Su Bei smiled calmly. “Minister Zhang, how much do you think a healthy, calm, fair, and free life is worth?”

Minister Zhang heard the mockery in her words and said, “It’s our fault for not educating our daughter well. President Su, you’ll be a parent in the future too. Why do you have to be so ruthless?”

“Have you thought about the feelings of Zhang Xinran’s parents?”

Minister Zhang almost blurted out, “Who are they? Who are we?!”

After saying that, he knew that he had misspoken.

Usually, his words were flawless. Tonight, it was because of his daughter that he couldn’t help but speak without thinking.

“It’s no longer the ancient times, Minister Zhang.”

Minister Zhang’s face turned ashen.

He took a long time to speak. “Give me some time to think about it.”

Su Bei said calmly, “Three days. No more than that.”

With that, she turned around and walked out.

Lu Yaolan followed her out and said, “If anything happens to Nirvana Entertainment one day, it’ll definitely be your doing.”

“If not for me, Nirvana Entertainment will get into trouble sooner than you expect.” Su Bei looked at her lazily.

Lu Yaolan snorted and left angrily.

She returned to the Lu family’s mansion, composed herself, and walked in with a smile.

When she entered, she realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Old Master Lu was pulling a long face, while Old Madam Lu was looking at her bitterly.

Lu Weijian was sitting at the side with a serious expression.

“Dad, Mom, Weijian, what’s wrong?”

Old Master Lu said coldly, “What’s wrong? Minister Zhang called Weijian and asked him to persuade Su Lu! Don’t you know what you’ve done?”

Lu Yaolan was wondering what was going on, but it turned out to be this.

She immediately relaxed and said, “Dad, Su Lu is a stubborn ox. He just doesn’t listen to advice. I’ve already promised Minister Zhang to turn this matter into a small matter, but Su Lu still wants to speak up for Zhang Xinran and even wants Minister Zhang to compromise! He’s really too infuriating! Who does he think Minister Zhang is? He thinks he can offend him?”

Old Master Lu’s expression darkened. “So, you’re planning to collude with Minister Zhang and commit evil deeds without repenting?”

Lu Yaolan was shocked. She did not expect Old Master Lu to share the same values as Su Lu and that he was willing to forsake the relationship between the Lu family and Minister Zhang!

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

“Dad, I—”

“What? You helped them mess around before, and now you want to do it again? Do you even know what you did wrong?” Old Master Lu was very angry.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

Old Master Lu said hatefully, “If Weijian hadn’t come looking for me, I wouldn’t have known that you did such a thing in the company! Even if our Lu family isn’t fair and just, we should at least be upright and have a clear conscience! How can you be my daughter like this?”

“Dad, I was really wrong. I was too concerned about the relationship between the Zhang family and the Lu family, so I was muddle-headed. Please forgive me this time!”

She then looked at Lu Weijian. “Weijian, I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that I pity Minister Zhang and Madam Zhang as parents, so I agreed to help them. I was on Su Lu’s side in the beginning.”

“You don’t have to tell me that,” Lu Weijian said. “We’ll solve this the way Grandpa and Grandma want it to be solved.”

Lu Yaolan cried. “Dad, please punish me.”

...

“Forget it. You just need to learn your lesson this time,” Old Master Lu said.

“Thank you, Dad. I won’t do it again.”

“You don’t have to go to Nirvana Entertainment from now on.”

Lu Yaolan was shocked. “Why?”

“I don’t think you’re suitable for this glamorous circle. You’ll inevitably lose your mind,” Old Master Lu said. “You’d better come back first.”

It was impossible for Lu Yaolan to give up Nirvana Entertainment. The power of the Lu family was controlled by Lu Heting, and she had never dared to touch him.

As for the Huo family’s businesses, she had thought of them before, but Lu Weijian rejected her and didn’t give her a chance at all.

Other than Nirvana Entertainment, she couldn’t think of any other avenues for development for herself.
